我不發一語,看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。158Please respect copyright.PENANAn7DdzGlC2U
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnQkKoOkAN7
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAxDSewjYpZs

158Please respect copyright.PENANAD9JmKdCYC9
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAFwkGAoblAD
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhvkpW0OBdz
「或許吧,但我警告過他了。那麼,再過不久我也要像他一樣嗎?」158Please respect copyright.PENANA5WxEaqqj6X
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEhrK0YZgT0
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAS4j9tKoxVK
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnYaOV6aCfu
「看樣子妳也變了,穗香。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAMg5LgnRrBc
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZjwKIkFMeB
我看著眼前這個像是不曾見過面的陌生人。158Please respect copyright.PENANA8g5fn3Mo9P
158Please respect copyright.PENANAm0WY9s4Etf
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAafpkg3tfpq
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWWXoccEyoH
158Please respect copyright.PENANAA38sW8CXaj
「……是從什麼時候開始就掌握住我的行蹤的?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAFKRm0bnuYI
158Please respect copyright.PENANAib6RcRGjva
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANA1wdp6fS3fn
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhJbVLIZODb
「夠了。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiw4hkXaR
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGVCdE1xemp
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAnlm59gWMx1
158Please respect copyright.PENANA02bRyISzOs
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2wcwIRfMh5
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAEpHCzOEJvt
158Please respect copyright.PENANAa2KBaEKpdc
「妳說的特權……究竟是指什麼?」158Please respect copyright.PENANA0KnXNoiLBs
158Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0K4Rxcxl
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAcYsrfhYzrR
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxioHiwHqPh
「冬笑是──神?」158Please respect copyright.PENANARm3HIs0Vr6
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXVmUvciBNW
我簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。158Please respect copyright.PENANAmhY8woDa1s
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMvXZa5dEKm
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAq1iO8iqPBI
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6mXmAMPnpp
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9v9swYnRtQ
「在那之後……究竟發生了什麼事?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAEAhR1271DU
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnKrBGlbcsz
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANArUPr9R5HtV
158Please respect copyright.PENANATOQiGE3cTP
「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!」158Please respect copyright.PENANA1oABnVpfxc
158Please respect copyright.PENANA2ObSsU6eG3
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAUFOgwfQEAn
158Please respect copyright.PENANAP3oWUUxC4p
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlBm1aYtJqN
「我的理解有錯?妳是要問為何是我成為教主?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAYhzsIgS2P5
158Please respect copyright.PENANAf5uCe9yS3s
「怎樣都好……拜託妳了……」158Please respect copyright.PENANAxJZSogOb4u

意識到早已來不拯救眼前的摯友,我收回感到脫力的雙手。158Please respect copyright.PENANA0zdh82clJR

「如果來夏想知道的話可以唷。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAqhs7Q5cKRp
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmAhe53aJIp
穗香輕輕地笑了起來。158Please respect copyright.PENANAsxZNXgsVcV
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWN48Zgk6Lo
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAMTnkrleZRR
158Please respect copyright.PENANA45aTkZVMXQ
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9FrPxyONCM
「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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAn2cDg7kuWs
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqiqpME59hz
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAwcbK9BHkYF
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKaitD1Hq0V
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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANA2Obc0AU4RJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANABVO5yC7C0h
「穗香,難不成妳──」158Please respect copyright.PENANAOtVC4xz5wb
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbdYIrBAzkS
我說不下去。158Please respect copyright.PENANAULwuY5Xo3G
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1wW9BwXmGr
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANA4cWnjGOfrm
158Please respect copyright.PENANA15uP85025e
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYbtczmFz2S
「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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAOljgkXhziP
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmYNyAVABaZ
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?158Please respect copyright.PENANAEq7D141djh
158Please respect copyright.PENANAA8xlFBYjtY
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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAdHL3YqsazN
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4ETvPHHlhJ
「果然村長……是被妳殺害的嗎?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAJnApHKmFA2
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQNXXg7jeBG
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANA1xXufD6cp0
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMwnUxuAOJY
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAmMjEUaS0rZ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAjcrizzxJOD
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAZDk0XpxpSJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZkq705AjeJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAO3fMGBlB7G
「為什麼……不打算報復我?妳想要的話絕對可以做到吧?」158Please respect copyright.PENANAScnAiVxFTf
158Please respect copyright.PENANANnjxR9crPu
到頭來,只能說出這種不像樣的話來。158Please respect copyright.PENANArdiHTYCIlK
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYsnVo0UkRm
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAoJ3C4fMgz
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAYWLvG63ese
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvxgRER3EFy
「那我到底該怎麼辦啊!!?」158Please respect copyright.PENANA0gXUc70gva
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfvty1vFPdt
我幾近崩潰地嘶吼。158Please respect copyright.PENANAWSCwbkeLhJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmNObFmwRTM
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAQNPz4cT2w0
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnuL0sUZSxc

「……前往理想鄉吧,小夏。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAo7jHo8GYgW
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcLmcL6mlhi
突然間,穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。158Please respect copyright.PENANACVqM6SWZbR
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5b8qarsweu
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAoTRlUUMYff
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtsheMZIaAw
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAFhHUQDH95W
158Please respect copyright.PENANA88GCJY4WSY

「耕一也在那裡。」158Please respect copyright.PENANALRFirQsqgn
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4tSJINMClY
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAwSRbJXwtkI
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgcHAzN8FH5
……那代表著對話結束的意思。158Please respect copyright.PENANAHwQ6ysF3jA
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkYhf4iLNPi
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAnyFU5tecC9
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtpoxog5JJr
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAHYCGOTvEvh
158Please respect copyright.PENANABBsj5T2kuf
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6cFv2AW8Rr
「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──」158Please respect copyright.PENANAPRN9rADB8D
158Please respect copyright.PENANAuDdL9VRTT6
臨走之前,維持正坐在房間裡面的教主叫住了我。158Please respect copyright.PENANAtR3MZ3QS2L
158Please respect copyright.PENANAOM5pc0tIJ7
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAAdTlWVMNo
「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。」158Please respect copyright.PENANAl2rmegAjMz
158Please respect copyright.PENANATNJb06JgFV
謊言的告解到此結束。158Please respect copyright.PENANAHMnA5rlxDg
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0FI4zmObiF
即便想再多說些什麼,也無法補救過去的錯誤。158Please respect copyright.PENANAvk9Tip7kGa
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhfIrO5ug0u
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAYvLpwcmJeJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5RgRpd5sfU
◇158Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zqu9kzx8X
158Please respect copyright.PENANAC7RELemkCg
在崎嶇難行的原始森林間走著。158Please respect copyright.PENANAT30h6exPCw
158Please respect copyright.PENANAIpbKbFPOEG
158Please respect copyright.PENANADYr00VDXtR
糾結於未經開發的地面上的樹根洋溢著生命的喜悅。158Please respect copyright.PENANAcFXDzXN5uD
158Please respect copyright.PENANA3zLkRamrLV
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANADo2LwUcEZN
158Please respect copyright.PENANAMCwVI2s5WN
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。158Please respect copyright.PENANAJZA8FYNMZG
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0HCyr1bqM
她說,只要順著歌聲前進就會抵達,她所棲息的那個世界。158Please respect copyright.PENANAhwmtiJuQAs
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGC2BmhuDfZ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhLP4cbdWqw
不知道在森林裡面走了多久。158Please respect copyright.PENANAs3dw4g6NWG
158Please respect copyright.PENANAB2qVsiQRJ0
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAjTGlqQVKp3
158Please respect copyright.PENANAc2309kwhly
就在此時,我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。158Please respect copyright.PENANA7xcJ8ogVOQ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbtq61cJivL
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的,來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。158Please respect copyright.PENANA2xZpgqvGZ8
158Please respect copyright.PENANAT3V6ef7zFR
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAbBv7xhMRCR
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQKm1HWTope
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAll7zwNRcaS

視野三百六十度全都是漫天飛舞的雪花。158Please respect copyright.PENANAxBcbZ3bjHN
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiUIID0l5jH
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANACv9QWyPblh
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtvS7xUhWQc
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAbBAhqRanfw
158Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ZC3zbx8I
158Please respect copyright.PENANAlSkFRNNz9o
……突然回憶起當初我對耕一所說過的那些話。158Please respect copyright.PENANAvkT6ZrBa9I
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPF6RkdFt
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAeBhjSpmO3y
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmLn0wFLWsl
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAAsEH9Ktn6A
158Please respect copyright.PENANAw1BqDBTDKO
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANA1btbIZC54W
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWtr9Myn8rf
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。158Please respect copyright.PENANAgp2u1IFHhz
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwvyWfTCYen

我的快樂只存在於過去的神命村。158Please respect copyright.PENANA5ReaZCYw5P
