赤柱監獄水飯房二十六號倉。251Please respect copyright.PENANAayP35HTP4o
251Please respect copyright.PENANAOgGeS0Imcx
十塊肉團在拼湊而成的「鍵盤」上飛快地遊走着,那只能勉強叫作「鍵盤」,因為上面的按鍵全都是混亂的狀態,本來「A」的地方變成了「B」,然後有三個「Y」與四個「Z」。251Please respect copyright.PENANAYqOIHs6UDT
251Please respect copyright.PENANA673eRmI3ZI
然而在螢幕上顯示的也不是甚麼可以閱讀的東西,而是重複又重複的一堆符號。251Please respect copyright.PENANAdi7e0F5PME
251Please respect copyright.PENANAWXj5teQFwI
「阿水你這傢伙又替我在外面開了幾張空頭支票……甚麼『黑幫老大會躲在哪兒上大號?』、『明天股票升還是跌?』、『女朋友有沒有瞞着自己與前度私訊』……還不如去問問『白羊座今晚的運程』及『有甚麼巴士過海不塞車』啦!」肉團的主人怨聲載道。251Please respect copyright.PENANALUOmsxhCQ8
251Please respect copyright.PENANA2HoAPwDghh
「每天可以問多過三條嗎?」在隔壁的囚倉傳來阿水──劉貽的聲音。251Please respect copyright.PENANAq9esptBGK7
251Please respect copyright.PENANAqodD9DeNuP
「當然不行啦!每天限問三條!有配額的呀!」男子穿的黑色背心下是頗肥胖的身軀:「你真的以為我是那『無所不知』的水飯房幽靈嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAsyl1D6sAzx
251Please respect copyright.PENANAf0fTdKlrtk
「你不是嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAR79rMJI8C4
251Please respect copyright.PENANAjO3ZXKvk9X
水飯房幽靈為之氣結,反了反白眼說:「我是!但我又不是!總之你在浪費我每天珍貴的配額!」251Please respect copyright.PENANAOuoxagivbc
251Please respect copyright.PENANAuCScJRiTqU
「我無意冒犯,但這些都是很重要的兄弟……」251Please respect copyright.PENANAs78Ydm1BUZ
251Please respect copyright.PENANAMhxNlij2Na
「我知道我知道!我們要離開這兒、實行計劃還得依靠他們嘛!」251Please respect copyright.PENANAVrAYGWtnlT
251Please respect copyright.PENANAXh3js94ZEZ
「沒錯……」251Please respect copyright.PENANALBA657tXNu
251Please respect copyright.PENANAFTJClUk14l
「為甚麼今天害羞鬼的反應那麼慢?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAqpWJD7edQX
251Please respect copyright.PENANAuyYDV4e9Ia
良久。251Please respect copyright.PENANAKbNmXhzu1f
251Please respect copyright.PENANADGox2Yy0zY
「是呢!」阿水見幽靈沒有再出聲,便再問:「發生了甚麼事嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtFHmFf5i
251Please respect copyright.PENANAUOAQh9Fm49
「是……」幽靈的聲音變得很不確定:「真的出了事。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4bWjydZ7IA
251Please respect copyright.PENANAisX1BZjqgf
「甚麼事?」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4b2RXz0kW0
251Please respect copyright.PENANATPJFIzcRo8
「一九七二年慕尼黑慘案……」他的嗓子在震動着。251Please respect copyright.PENANAzxJmzG91WD
251Please respect copyright.PENANAPvOKfvejfZ
阿水有點不安,他的記憶很模糊,但仍然對慕尼黑慘案有些印象。251Please respect copyright.PENANA0vl8NrCch9
251Please respect copyright.PENANA7XRosQBw4X
「人類總要重複同樣的錯誤……」251Please respect copyright.PENANARzZ5UtFt1o
251Please respect copyright.PENANA898ZzXvNil
「甚麼?甚麼嘛?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAqsjLx1cevS
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHWVHGrYW19
「明天即將舉行的韓國釜山世運會……祖國的代表團將會受到恐怖襲擊……」他打從心底顫抖,口齒不清,阿水幾乎聽不清楚他在說甚麼。251Please respect copyright.PENANA5SxtOkw11c
251Please respect copyright.PENANACfLN3Qvp8x
「祖國?你的祖國?朝鮮!」阿水也嚇了一跳,因為他隱約看到事情的嚴重性:「那是真的嗎?還是只是暗網中穿鑿附會的陰謀論?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpHBrUZUn
251Please respect copyright.PENANAGBxHhJAfWG
「不,這是害羞鬼透過馬里亞納深網的一個子集告訴我的。」幽靈終於冷靜下來,嘆了口氣說:「我們要提早實行那個計劃了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANASpZ9oOYsrE
251Please respect copyright.PENANASyByg7ERQx
「反雞蛋仔行動?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAS2i4oD8j24
251Please respect copyright.PENANAavkKd42crM
「我要暫時『消失』一會兒作最後準備,兩個星期後你再進來水飯房吧!」251Please respect copyright.PENANA78eDGz7LOq
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHibnrWSmKt
「反雞蛋仔行動?」葉向東問。251Please respect copyright.PENANAAlk5mxIQe0
251Please respect copyright.PENANAzYOKj7Lxpd
「雞蛋仔行動就是雪姑七友想出來的鬼主意。」害羞鬼聳了聳肩說。251Please respect copyright.PENANAZJvGhC3QGc
251Please respect copyright.PENANAmauXFUMFHY
「雪姑七友!」這四個字刺激着葉向東的神經:「那幫唯恐天下不亂的犯罪分子!沒錯,你也是他們的一分子!原來水飯房幽靈也是,阿水也是!」251Please respect copyright.PENANATZMmb5RGFj
251Please respect copyright.PENANAfCvYFYnh7C
害羞鬼搖了搖頭說:「『害羞鬼』的確是我幾經辛苦滲透他們組織後得到的代號,但不代表我就是他們的一分子……更莫說水飯房幽靈與阿水那群烏合之眾,更不是他們的人了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA7p3r6JrI8Z
251Please respect copyright.PENANAjt2jQbcuHc
「為甚麼?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAfPgNnLQBfk
251Please respect copyright.PENANAMSkKcjBWfG
「我不是說『反雞蛋仔』嗎?」葉向東感覺到小丑面具下的恥笑:「『反』又如何『正』?雖然『正』有時也會是『反』,有時也不是,反正……」251Please respect copyright.PENANAZksYDfdBwc
251Please respect copyright.PENANADLgii0pPOO
「也是一堆概念。」葉向東不等害羞鬼說下去。251Please respect copyright.PENANAjOwMtu9a8T
251Please respect copyright.PENANA7DJUiuC7EU
「你搶了我的台詞啊。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAqTWhGYfbOJ
251Please respect copyright.PENANApK9a7kYTc4
「少說廢話,接着如何了?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAuE4Ty7wKFD
251Please respect copyright.PENANAd75R5d4zDO
「接着如何?接着我就被困在這兒啊!」害羞鬼張開雙手,環視四周:「水飯房幽靈,不,應該說他在美國的代號:『潘多拉』才對,那傢伙居然趁朝鮮襲擊南韓報復時,與中國合謀用甚麼朝鮮最高級的機密作為誘餌,設計陷害我,把我困在這兒。」251Please respect copyright.PENANArx12nDOxv1
251Please respect copyright.PENANAzsPW48ZJU1
「如果『水飯房幽靈』就是『潘多拉』……那麼『潘多拉之盒』……」葉向東似乎想通了箇中的因果關係了。251Please respect copyright.PENANAH21NGRn7Wg
251Please respect copyright.PENANAiJwX9kkvz1
「沒錯,潘多拉之盒就是這兒了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAyFmxHKAkw5
251Please respect copyright.PENANAyz9pmm2ebA
葉向東留意着害羞鬼背後的金屬牆壁,那種反光有點不自然的感覺,像是材質的貼圖質素不佳,雖未至於一眼便看出「起角」,但與「真實」有點距離。251Please respect copyright.PENANAmogGfutsv1
251Please respect copyright.PENANA1pGZ1DGKUx
「眼前的一切事物肯定是電腦產生的虛擬實境!」他想:「潘多拉之盒就是這個虛構的金庫?不!說不定我被牡丹……可能還有其他北韓特工……給催眠了,真身正被五花大綁,要迫使我吐出甚麼秘密來。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAHO536iO9DG
251Please respect copyright.PENANATA6kg1niAW
他覺得眼前的害羞鬼愈來愈「假」。251Please respect copyright.PENANA8DfsMxr0gG
251Please respect copyright.PENANASq6nOHTM6o
「事實上,她們真的誤會了,我有何秘密可以吐露呢?」葉向東眼睛轉動,正想辦法脫身:「既然肉隨砧板上,只好乖乖就範,胡吹亂謅一番,滿足了她們的要求,離開金庫,催眠自然就會失效了?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAtyPK72ZLJ5
251Please respect copyright.PENANALNxN0J4uYe
既然打定主意,他便說:「好,我明白了,我幫你。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAAKaTiGaYqx
251Please respect copyright.PENANAJQDxs1slt6
害羞鬼高興得彈起身來,還以為要多費一番唇舌,說:「真的?!」251Please respect copyright.PENANAHcRxk0KGCq
251Please respect copyright.PENANAUk9mLg8O5P
「真的。」葉向東暗暗得意地說:「但我現在動彈不得,如何幫得上忙?」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4XAz97s7OC
251Please respect copyright.PENANAP1wusJFFtU
害羞鬼推着葉向東回到「電腦」的前面,說:「你要先替我解開這個謎題。」251Please respect copyright.PENANACBMIHcTSjO
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHkckA4Eaic
在螢光幕出現的並不是「納維斯托克斯存在性與光滑性」的方程式,而是另一堆數字:251Please respect copyright.PENANAF24ycU2bHB
251Please respect copyright.PENANAHTN9hjoIRm
1 = 4251Please respect copyright.PENANAZjheAwU8Gq
2 = 8251Please respect copyright.PENANA28NCedyI4d
3 = 24251Please respect copyright.PENANA9VGjOrOjNK
4 =?251Please respect copyright.PENANA1MTkl5QwiK
251Please respect copyright.PENANAtA3P7u1zju
「這是甚麼?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAiS7XdbmTEn
251Please respect copyright.PENANAJaO5mGwn2B
「就是要你求答案囉!」害羞鬼把葉向東的頭推近螢幕,數式是放大了,但內容並沒有變化。251Please respect copyright.PENANA8JobcsWuPf
251Please respect copyright.PENANAZXGfO0gNth
葉向東睜大眼睛看得很清楚,不是那些深奧的方程式,而是早些年前在社交網絡以「哈佛大學八成人都答錯,你會答對嗎?」作招徠,瘋傳又瘋傳的智力問題。251Please respect copyright.PENANAL6vVOHO7iE
251Please respect copyright.PENANAwQZiBZCsN2
當年,他也中了圈套,以為答案是「96」。因為他用了階乘「n!」的概念去傳釋這個「=」。看「4、8、24」這個序列,就會認為是「4 x 1! = 4」、「4 x 2! = 8」、「4 x 3! = 24」,所以「4 x4! = 96」。251Please respect copyright.PENANAdgdQ6QcTTr
251Please respect copyright.PENANAiQQMu9EHrR
然而,「96」卻是個「錯誤」的答案,因為出題者說:「嘿!中計了!正確的答案其實很簡單,答案是『1』,因為既然『1 = 4』,『4 = 1』也是當然的了。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAu0d0ZcEus8
251Please respect copyright.PENANAzg04cxb15A
沒錯,原來「2 = 8」和「3 = 24」都是擾亂思路「假線索」。這樣說實在太客氣,因為這個「=」的意思根本不一樣!「1 = 4」與「4 = 1」中「=」是「對稱性」,而「2 = 8」及「3 = 24」就是「階乘」,但何時是指「對稱性」,何時是指「階乘」,則無從推斷。251Please respect copyright.PENANAT2pH38zEiD
251Please respect copyright.PENANA6hLQDYvjqL
那即是說,答案可以是兩者,也可以不是兩者。251Please respect copyright.PENANAzeum476L1K
251Please respect copyright.PENANAzrkRJm567Z
看到葉向東迷惘的樣子,害羞鬼似乎很享受,並沒有催促的意思,那種沉默的等待,反而給葉向東很大的心理壓力。251Please respect copyright.PENANAcS3WgYZuGH
251Please respect copyright.PENANAqFbfDmvoid
這樣的時間過得特別慢。251Please respect copyright.PENANAwCiHVMSmvl
251Please respect copyright.PENANAxM2GjgYppp
葉向東終於也聽到自己的心跳聲。251Please respect copyright.PENANAYgdulc0mq9
251Please respect copyright.PENANAi76bx753Zf
「那根本不是數學問題。」葉向東最後忍不住說:「事實上這是在猜你是一個『錯誤的正常人』,還是一個『正常的瘋子』。」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4ieVxAGgJR
251Please respect copyright.PENANAj2sHY3HEpQ
「咭咭咭!」害羞鬼大笑,走過來把葉向東一百八十度轉過身去。251Please respect copyright.PENANAknBT0aZ8Xs
251Please respect copyright.PENANAzC6ZS7VgDK
只見金庫的門居然打開了。251Please respect copyright.PENANA1uNBvrATvD
251Please respect copyright.PENANA3HJBJpl84I
「為甚麼?」他愈來愈不解了。251Please respect copyright.PENANA1LM6PCGszo
251Please respect copyright.PENANAE8PevzQAvd
「你答對了。」只聽到害羞鬼的聲音。251Please respect copyright.PENANAo7HYe75SYf
251Please respect copyright.PENANAAwubpSEmsy
「答對了?」葉向東難以置信:「我還沒有答啊!」251Please respect copyright.PENANAPxYyBpXWfv
251Please respect copyright.PENANAcq747pfvrQ
「對!」251Please respect copyright.PENANA4wk1rrVPBI
251Please respect copyright.PENANAUB6LQ5fLnK
「我不是要幫助你,而你會幫助我離開的嗎?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAocFXRTiNZp
251Please respect copyright.PENANAhf7Rn0Dt5s
「對。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAHBVTLaU1x7
251Please respect copyright.PENANAs9c8wGY3C0
「我真的可以離開了?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAwnQfoS2wjA
251Please respect copyright.PENANAKKo5nrj62k
「你還要問多少次?」251Please respect copyright.PENANAVZYGF7ZT4a
251Please respect copyright.PENANAmnoeGhvBoq
「但……我要如何離開?」葉向東還是動彈不得。251Please respect copyright.PENANAm4AvuXLw1v
251Please respect copyright.PENANAdcbI5kgqzp
「我有沒有綁着你啊?」還是看不見害羞鬼,只有他的聲音在耳邊響着:「走出去,就是這樣簡單。」251Please respect copyright.PENANAfcAcoXN9Hk
251Please respect copyright.PENANADNfangeNdL
