我不發一語,看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。159Please respect copyright.PENANAHLdunI23XA
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzcpMieuT7K
根據過往經驗,有人在面前死去固然不是很舒服,但意外的是我對於他的死沒什麼特別的感覺。159Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4hrE8zN8G

「妳變了呢,來夏,過去的妳要是看到難以容忍的事情,肯定會挺身而出反抗到底呢。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAMOdDuQN3S0
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzVxknI7gXR
「或許吧,但我警告過他了。那麼,再過不久我也要像他一樣嗎?」159Please respect copyright.PENANAuJY81uGvMZ
159Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Qw10QQDY
「雖說守住神命村的秘密是我的責任,但畢竟妳的身份不同,要是殺了妳的話可就違背教義了。」159Please respect copyright.PENANA8XyeUfSAJ2
159Please respect copyright.PENANANPWZDJa5dB
「看樣子妳也變了,穗香。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAfPecLyGEjm
159Please respect copyright.PENANArXtklKqCEI
我看著眼前這個像是不曾見過面的陌生人。159Please respect copyright.PENANAf8oEo1iAQ4
159Please respect copyright.PENANAxDBXQ7aAXZ
能面不改色地將殺這個字掛在嘴邊,代表我記憶裡那個天真的穗香早已死去。159Please respect copyright.PENANArKyAxZrd8C
159Please respect copyright.PENANAd0xLYcbO3v
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQFdood4wkH
「……是從什麼時候開始就掌握住我的行蹤的?」159Please respect copyright.PENANArZAz5GZLCd
159Please respect copyright.PENANAPtekxyi5zO
「事實上,妳投靠神谷夕子以後的紀錄就未曾間斷過,譬如妳考進的三流大學,就職後獲取的微薄薪資,其餘如社交狀況、就診紀錄等等森醫師皆有登錄在冊。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAsNRGJMUw3W
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4YmfHtrGo0
「夠了。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAJlF5egWGku
159Please respect copyright.PENANAhiI2w4QuYI
那說多諷刺就有多諷刺,原來我一直未曾逃離過村子的掌控嗎。159Please respect copyright.PENANA7aaHn1TPWK
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwvHfPLb3iT
159Please respect copyright.PENANAupmEP4Bw1M
「夠了?妳不是充分運用了妳的『特權』,作為神命村唯一的特例在外界生活嗎?縱然資料顯示妳嚴重無法適應而有過自我了斷的念頭,但皆為妳自己的選擇,村子未曾對妳做出任何干涉。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAyAEkGhqIfW
159Please respect copyright.PENANAw9NEXmrhYJ
「妳說的特權……究竟是指什麼?」159Please respect copyright.PENANAw7uXUjH20u
159Please respect copyright.PENANAODYysbF1YT
「是呢,妳還不知道吧?因為妳的親生妹妹──結城冬笑,是我們神命教所信奉的神。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAtlbJvL8lkM
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyQAEWTJeu0
「冬笑是──神?」159Please respect copyright.PENANA8b1O8uGKyr
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y4Y0EIP1u
我簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。159Please respect copyright.PENANAVrFgRcwjE7
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiAFmLL8uuS
因為一連串錯誤而在植物上進行錯誤的胎兒之夢的冬笑,在我離開村子的這段空白期間,居然被村子信奉為神嗎。159Please respect copyright.PENANABY5aM053Es
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2ww37kUtcM
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXXy8axbq4y
「在那之後……究竟發生了什麼事?」159Please respect copyright.PENANAVrdDZTjie9
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHb2xdEhmXr
「如妳所見,我們信奉著神,並藉由神命村這個機構進行篩選,唯有在此獲得認可的人,才得以前往理想鄉獲得永生。」159Please respect copyright.PENANABxfGcbO2H2
159Please respect copyright.PENANAlsi8SEIyYf
「我根本聽不懂……再說妳到底為什麼會變成這個樣子?回答我,穗香!」159Please respect copyright.PENANAF0RwJlNUUj
159Please respect copyright.PENANAh0xrwaBFbJ
我終於忍不住上前抓住她的肩膀,和服的領口被我扯開,露出她那毫無血色的蒼白鎖骨。159Please respect copyright.PENANAB1jiNrVser
159Please respect copyright.PENANAT9hJlI3J75

159Please respect copyright.PENANABDLxLHYP0O
「怎樣都好……拜託妳了……」159Please respect copyright.PENANAbUReGGytZS

意識到早已來不拯救眼前的摯友,我收回感到脫力的雙手。159Please respect copyright.PENANA0xEjnrZQtE

「如果來夏想知道的話可以唷。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAVms1HYX3rw
159Please respect copyright.PENANATlkEOBYG1P
穗香輕輕地笑了起來。159Please respect copyright.PENANAIa6cShRE0D
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJapHVbY8
這是重逢後她第一次表達身為人類的感情,但我卻不知道那笑容之中究竟包含多少無盡的絕望。159Please respect copyright.PENANAEQQ3ZkDv3j
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0DuZvjTId
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbv6fUidvEs
「其實被選為教主的人是來夏妳喔,再怎麼說妳也是神的親生姊姊。159Please respect copyright.PENANAutQnt91vJs
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwtq2537oZB
既然妳不願意回來,我也只是作為妳的替代,暫時將就用著的次級品而已。所以現在只要妳有意願,隨時都可以頂替我成為教主,但那也要妳願意通過成為教主所需要的儀式才行。159Please respect copyright.PENANAEmy4JiJuNa
159Please respect copyright.PENANAkRiRhrVE9e
儀式的部份必須由身處滿是食物跟神滓的坑洞裡面開始。啊,就是在廣場上殺了許多人的那些,來夏的父親當時也在坑洞裡面呢。平常啊,神滓若是沒有接獲神的指示,就只不過是擁有人類劣等的本性,將慾望表露無遺的醜陋生物。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAuHrC4jC5Ar
159Please respect copyright.PENANApYGxjbVNQF
「穗香,難不成妳──」159Please respect copyright.PENANARutcASdSi4
159Please respect copyright.PENANApCwERmTZEj
我說不下去。159Please respect copyright.PENANA88bvHKITf2
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5pLLFcPWjj
正因為曾經目睹過一次那生物的暴行,所以怎樣都說不出口。159Please respect copyright.PENANApAjBVf8gYZ
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGyNlMfUoUp
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgy8nivqerU
「對啊,在那裡面被強暴整整一個月哦,全身能被上的地方全都被上過一遍了呢。159Please respect copyright.PENANAgK0KZzGyDz
159Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5auz6N09
剛開始的時候,我可是無時無刻都在詛咒妳,但過了兩三天後就完全放棄了,因為到後來究竟是痛苦還是愉悅早就分不太清楚,這副軀殼的本能反應還真是下賤對吧?159Please respect copyright.PENANAP9ivfaSZ53
159Please respect copyright.PENANAIer0ATDvHr
從那時候起我就感受不太到喜怒哀樂了,少了大部分感情的影響,才能做出對村子最正確的選擇吧?不過,雖然心中沒什麼恨,但至少還記得報仇的具體作法。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAFB3ChGyhkr
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHpLVwrcG9k
「果然村長……是被妳殺害的嗎?」159Please respect copyright.PENANAMKqnc0YP72
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6zXspiOkl
「嗯,我成為教主以後,照著跟我一樣的方式丟進去了。不到兩個小時就發瘋死掉了呢,還真是可笑的老鬼。」159Please respect copyright.PENANA9imdXivO01
159Please respect copyright.PENANAuRJpuPrLkW
像是想起愉悅的事情似而嬌豔地笑了,那模樣有如帶有劇毒的花蕾。159Please respect copyright.PENANAERX2Grwmz6
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4oCLmpyhVt
我無法想像過去她所遭受的待遇有多絕望,現在的我對沒有拯救到當時的她一事而感到萬分自責,但卻連分擔當時的她的千萬分之一痛苦都做不到。159Please respect copyright.PENANARmk0AjCeeq
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGtHKXgNVEY
159Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z9MFlvVVk
「為什麼……不打算報復我?妳想要的話絕對可以做到吧?」159Please respect copyright.PENANADGKxqYc5gF
159Please respect copyright.PENANAK9z7vHpADs
到頭來,只能說出這種不像樣的話來。159Please respect copyright.PENANA7TuYvwxZM2
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyVVTUOAm84
159Please respect copyright.PENANA39GKacJT4X
「來夏,我可不記得妳是這麼沒記性的人,不是說過妳可是神的姊姊喔?別說傷害,我的身份無權過問妳任何的事情。」159Please respect copyright.PENANA5JUz7lAVUh
159Please respect copyright.PENANADnS8GtONcD
「那我到底該怎麼辦啊!!?」159Please respect copyright.PENANA0RyqtKEsUX
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvey8TNcbsx
我幾近崩潰地嘶吼。159Please respect copyright.PENANARri7PsMxUu
159Please respect copyright.PENANASsCLz9L6Ue
在外界活得非常痛苦的我,就連回到神命村也找不到任何一點容身之處,連唯一的朋友都變成我完全不認識的模樣。159Please respect copyright.PENANAfz4YgR5hed
159Please respect copyright.PENANABiDPxs6VBS

「……前往理想鄉吧,小夏。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAXyG6rQKM4o
159Please respect copyright.PENANA3Abmt562ER
突然間,穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。159Please respect copyright.PENANASmeZgbREbO
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiAr9Pf79DA
那是一雙毫無對焦能力,呈現潰散的淡色瞳孔,而我只在人偶上看過這種不帶任何感情色彩的玻璃眼珠。159Please respect copyright.PENANAhgw23BtZvZ
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4jkWwgNdHT
然而,那卻是跳脫了教主的身份,由十七歲起便已支離破碎到不復存在,那名為桃井穗香的朋友碎片所提給我的建言。159Please respect copyright.PENANAWwLJxhwLN0
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5OPxDnhuFg

「耕一也在那裡。」159Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6f8vxGGWC
159Please respect copyright.PENANAPxjh2TRiOR
面無表情的女性,接著在有如機械似地解說完理想鄉運行的原理後,再度閉上了眼睛。159Please respect copyright.PENANAtvNwFEOsHL
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWzgojggbbE
……那代表著對話結束的意思。159Please respect copyright.PENANAmNsLarwCpV
159Please respect copyright.PENANAr9wQYnb4qV
對於所信奉之神的眷屬,教主不被賦予權限過問,也不被允許發表意見。159Please respect copyright.PENANAbjyap78vnC
159Please respect copyright.PENANAL1FwZu10lh
我向著那無法違背殘忍命運的摯友道了謝,起身準備離開會客室。159Please respect copyright.PENANAfmQf1dgioo
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvnDe4AkqIa
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgPGltU017U
「青海的錄音檔我聽了,我與神谷耕一各自都欺騙了妳一件事情──」159Please respect copyright.PENANARwspuWAdqn
159Please respect copyright.PENANADJnvDx5hwR
臨走之前,維持正坐在房間裡面的教主叫住了我。159Please respect copyright.PENANAlfx3aTR7Xx
159Please respect copyright.PENANA1Kr5emAXsy
159Please respect copyright.PENANAb466HETL0j
「第一是我早已讓神滓回歸神的懷抱,所以儀式早已不復存在。第二是那晚我並不在廣場上,把我留在這裡的人正是妳們。」159Please respect copyright.PENANALbpGA8DcOK
159Please respect copyright.PENANAMq3VGBDhrD
謊言的告解到此結束。159Please respect copyright.PENANAyx8VzYRfnD
159Please respect copyright.PENANA34rA7T1XIS
即便想再多說些什麼,也無法補救過去的錯誤。159Please respect copyright.PENANACuDek29HhN
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOVIiJ0nOjO
我一步一步地踏過木製的走廊,在鶯啼的伴隨下前往故事的終局。159Please respect copyright.PENANAyP36qJbFCI
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uyz6JTKQC
◇159Please respect copyright.PENANAjlXoMBHnl1
159Please respect copyright.PENANAIGCjRxjaBP
在崎嶇難行的原始森林間走著。159Please respect copyright.PENANAkBDV5ngcP8
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWOcNUERzy2
159Please respect copyright.PENANANFCW9X1p85
糾結於未經開發的地面上的樹根洋溢著生命的喜悅。159Please respect copyright.PENANAYs8Wlcs6aT
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWSLD95hq4U
沒有地圖或指南針,單憑五感就想要前往理想鄉,在旁人聽起來簡直就是癡人說夢。159Please respect copyright.PENANA910ReKoNka
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2Se8pgWnHe
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。159Please respect copyright.PENANAlie0QGAGIs
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHjXjoCjqNh
她說,只要順著歌聲前進就會抵達,她所棲息的那個世界。159Please respect copyright.PENANAynWnVy8Rh8
159Please respect copyright.PENANA3s9WfoBS2N
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xolf1i2u6
不知道在森林裡面走了多久。159Please respect copyright.PENANAeRNRQp5Z8m
159Please respect copyright.PENANA330snGKzFO
踏上旅途時我記得還是白天,只不過一眨眼的時間就來到了傍晚。159Please respect copyright.PENANAPa1L3C9W63
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvp70WlP7MI
就在此時,我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。159Please respect copyright.PENANAuvxxScX3Vo
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3ro3qouJZ
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的,來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。159Please respect copyright.PENANABNoYORX0tU
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgxyU9kQZ7o
我順著歌聲的方向,中途因為受夠了難走到不行的皮靴,我乾脆直接脫下來丟掉。159Please respect copyright.PENANAxV9KphziME
159Please respect copyright.PENANAuyMuczD6ac
最後在撥開了幾道比人還要來得高的樹叢後,我終於來到了她的面前。159Please respect copyright.PENANAelz8OhepAI

視野三百六十度全都是漫天飛舞的雪花。159Please respect copyright.PENANAbRvCCEzvBn
159Please respect copyright.PENANAFl1EjlGdS6
像是蒲公英般的孢子輕輕漂浮在四周,微弱的橙白光芒順著她呼吸的節奏而忽明忽暗。159Please respect copyright.PENANADvl6zPKhFA
159Please respect copyright.PENANAjWL3TtnYLv
在少女的腿部的位置附近,有著一個個如同卵般的人形物體,以深埋其中的頭部與她相連。那就是理想鄉的構成基礎,將所有人的腦部串連起來,進而匯集成為一個永恆的夢世界,這類似網路的原理讓我聯想到過去曾在書上看過的某種魚類。159Please respect copyright.PENANA1hO2DmHShx
159Please respect copyright.PENANA1IrIJ8O5gm
159Please respect copyright.PENANAdORffmnikE
……突然回憶起當初我對耕一所說過的那些話。159Please respect copyright.PENANAm94GLRHRvc
159Please respect copyright.PENANAjpALc5LQJo
如今已邁入社會多年的我,早就喪失了那份對未來充滿著憧憬的自信。159Please respect copyright.PENANA4AHEs8y0mG
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZfMjmJmita
結果我既不是安於現狀的家禽,也並非自由翱翔就能得到快樂的獵鷹。159Please respect copyright.PENANAHMwl9CNabo
159Please respect copyright.PENANAEt5HLXtoL7
過去的我只是試圖反抗別人加諸在身上枷鎖,從未想過自己所嚮往的究竟是什麼樣的風景。159Please respect copyright.PENANAkXRpWlRIML
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvRnj3glqaP
直到去了外面的世界才後悔,在那個人與人互相利用的環境中,我從未發自內心感到快樂,只是勉強自己笑著而已。159Please respect copyright.PENANA79uD2JGTkM
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbRhgtqaTR8

我的快樂只存在於過去的神命村。159Please respect copyright.PENANAexC9CExiys
