豪司關掉新聞，疲困地揉著眼皮。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKABjvEsEO
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBKXRLpxGg
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFvBb5DMm
巴特夫按照計畫展開行動，反觀自己這裡，情況依舊膠著。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmtyXsXs3f

自從那天向朗秘書長透露「淨化戰」最終目的後，前者似乎開始躲他。不接電話也不回訊息，如同人間蒸發一樣。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSMxFjygD5
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEurc4bk2
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF6u2AR9KY
豪司只能孤軍奮戰，他已經連絡好幾位熟識軍要。但一聽到必須為買下大葆士做擔保，得到的回應都是拒絕。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJlLNJCdc
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1AFVU1Ftu
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnHTn9wmwd
「如果連這關都過不了，還談什麼關閉蟲洞……」豪司陷入沮喪。他趴在院內休息室的小桌上，對一切感到失望。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK87Thunb4S
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDwgaHZABL
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3WT8aZXue
不是所有人都像他一樣迫切想關閉蟲洞。更多的人著重在守護好僅存家園，盡所能穩固賴以維生的鋼鐵牆。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppz9XzglB5
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OgXKkbNql
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmwumpexoM
后桑就是後者。她對豪司老是想拓展領土關閉蟲洞的想法感到不切實際。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDBjreoFM3
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dfpofndVC
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2xhJmNgW
雖然曾多次告誡弟弟，守衛軍必須以保護鋼鐵牆為優先，但還是擋不下眼光放在未來的豪司。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CznMVa4Eu
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhJ9U0oWCG
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmhcHvhsw
姊弟倆總是在爭吵同樣的事。而關於買下大葆士，后桑持反對票。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZxVgChaq

沒有一次站在我這邊過。豪司打起精神，掛著苦笑從桌上爬起，視線正好對上站在門邊的朗秘書長。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CvzUrp9K8
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMISDxbxb
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkdyCf0ots

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJBluGxr5V
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpThyblekg8
「老實說我是住在這了。」豪司回頭看向沙發上的薄毯和輕便枕頭，自嘲道。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFkt5uVTAj

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZGRvZjyWN
「為了這事，今天不回去參加午宴，不怕后桑秋後算帳嗎？」朗秘書長坐到對面，豪司撇嘴。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ccQdECGv

「如果您只是來看我落魄的模樣，我想您目的已經達成，可以走了。」豪司離開鐵椅，摔到沙發上：「不過我是絕對不會離開。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMCWYad14a
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaJHydynYg
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6br6bafA8
「的確落魄。」朗秘書長站起身，推了推眼鏡：「不修邊幅的樣子可進不了會議室，等會可是有大人物要來。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjF1Caj5uH
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kyLzVfqDo

「把自己打理好，晚點有場硬仗要打。」朗秘書長轉身：「揚斯通院長和美利安『多能局』副局長拿索 ‧ 勞倫斯都會出席，說服我們把大葆士讓出來。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9EpQA6fO2
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDPHdtmlcB
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtQb2Wggxj

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8sPdYRmMH
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQxUj1UGw

「免了，我已經不是魔方軍。」朗秘書長看向手腕。原本配有魔方腕帶的地方，此刻只剩下一副榮譽錶。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSxtRnfpKA

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnxSrCTCXP
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4gGlNcBld
豪司雙臂交叉放在胸前，神色凝重地看著步入會議室的高階軍要。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0NFYZxas
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJEZEhEj2
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GWVmhWXZd
大部分與會者的表情都很平淡，有些還掛著笑臉，與其他人談論無關緊要的事。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvQL3E4GBq
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBHFxQTLbQ
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgT8g8Bd75
每個都像是來聊天的，是不是對會議結果已有共識？豪司放下手。就在這時，手機傳來一封訊息。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtHG5J3wF
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxqhCGqupA
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qgnj3DNrl

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsrSXQJYgY
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23EFfpVt7l
軍官逐一入座，其中一位坐在主席座左側的褐髮男人看到豪司，露出有趣表情。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJd7JIGq5E
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8T2Hdt3k
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHIn7JkuiX
「怎麼豪司 · 立克夏上校會在這裡？我可不記得名單上有他。」褐髮男人輕撥鬢角髮絲。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiP013lb4o
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qmQVu2Htz
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAxmT0pJIb

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72tWr8AJQX
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsweTOGmta

「國家異獸情報院」，簡稱異情院，是東苑安魔方軍最高統領。置有院長一名，秘書長三名。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmDn3kJqTW
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKmd6FISm
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyghPiiXfe
院長為將級一般軍，秘書長為將級魔方軍。朗秘書長於今年四月上任，卸去魔方軍職務正式除役。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWLvBNEm7
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprc9rw8lwP

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxiefkpE2
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XzUSIAVD
會議室門再度打開。一名頭髮稀疏的矮小老頭，穿著比自己身材還大上三號的西裝大衣，往主席位前進，上官 R 默默跟在後頭。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmOOG0I6mh
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOws2mZTEd9
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjkXsAPDgd
所有人起立站好，目送小老頭坐進座位。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTE6uAxmaX
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl5zJnOERr
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkg3YzW0TY
豪司直盯著小老頭動向，完全沒注意上官 R 站進他旁邊的空位。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA01qDysrG
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKen3KjFiwK
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA77UgJCmh
小老頭坐好後，先是拿起罐裝水清喉，然後開起桌上型麥克風，抬起頭逐一巡視在場人員。當他看到豪司時，眉毛抖動了一下。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqE8S0BB23
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqifG1hU7C
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedcISNqKe
「呼──」小老頭對著麥克風吹氣，然後輕拍它。確認收音正常後，他起身脫下西裝外套。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ExapkMjP
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfiY97G0QZ
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhKz09xuO
剪裁合身的將級軍服，跟卸下的大尺碼外套形成強烈對比。小老頭將外套掛到椅背上，立正站好。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irICZRfdF

「揚斯通院長好！」眾人行禮。小老頭，也就是異情院院長──揚斯通 ‧ 以西傑回禮。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRHaOhU9T
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPE2qYjUkK
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCn0mmTIiU
待揚斯通院長坐定後，豪司這才發現上官 R 的存在。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeDo4bwZ42

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7DyUQFkZj
「你怎麼來了？」豪司皺眉，上官 R 看向他的額頭。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz2z0lCKrp
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf7xdM2prH
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPAjBXBB9R

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj9VONYzIq
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAEsIroAPY

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQZ0pvEg3Q
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUnuqGuCHg
「這場臨時會議非常突然，諸位都是不久前才收到通知。」揚斯通院長身型雖小，音量卻很大。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtjiOvRVNs

101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ciuNrg8wY
「儘管我們討論過買下布列斯托機擬員大葆士 ‧ 溫頓的利弊，也已經決定結果。但計畫趕不上變化，我在今午一時，接到戰神殿的緊急專線。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5U90001B2
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo7cjTMWv5
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRkSm3t6e8
「打來的正是『默儲 ‧ 阿爾泰洛』殿長。」揚斯通院長環視所有人，面色凝重。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUgCXedzh0
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhqFXVWSpv
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTlVsvMZo
「緊急專線並非能隨意撥打，只有在面臨鋼鐵牆被攻破，急需他國軍隊前來支援時使用，而且必須經過總統授權。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDFjXgWX6G
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab7d85nPTg
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe36dVJhOJc
「我合理懷疑默儲殿長是私下打這支電話，這就表示，東苑安正冒著極大風險面對接下來的狀況。」揚斯通院長停下，看著半舉手的厄古秘書長。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ra6UtsamX
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuw3VEbeqR
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYKIhe8zv9
「院長，電話的事您告知總統和政戰部長了嗎？」厄古秘書長眉頭緊皺。101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneJcNx9Na2

「告知了。總統和政戰部長由於在夕達首都『赫克特地下城』開經貿會議的關係，不克出席。總統表示由政戰部長和我決定。」揚斯通院長眼睛眨也不眨：「政戰部長要我依在場人員建議，做出最適合的結論。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI8be5o7gr
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1dyvPDy4
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnvjoUefwe
「而默儲殿長在通話最後表示，他會在今晚七點再度撥打專線給我，而且，將視我們的答覆決定第三通撥打對象。」101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8o0We0qr
