時間來到現在,我已經回到家裡,還按照阿熹的要求(提供解碼方法以及避開提起Moscow killer),寫好今次行動的報告書。584Please respect copyright.PENANAGJcVWf5SPE
584Please respect copyright.PENANAHbBVvMmixt
看著它,我就心想著如果事情真的如我所寫的,最後什麼也找不到,而且那個自把自為的Moscow killer又不在場的話,我應該就是最開心的一個。584Please respect copyright.PENANA2uewMUP7xy
584Please respect copyright.PENANAuchpK8eBGU
始終,如果他的蘇州屎從來也不存在的話,實在是讓人歡恩的。更進一步來說,如果今日什麼都找不到我也會感到非常高興,因為阿熹的出現,代表著他將會對以後的行動展開介入,行動力會大受影響。584Please respect copyright.PENANAfSvIYdQimE
584Please respect copyright.PENANAfAptdjPjwq
最重要是,這樣一來,我的指揮權將會比之前減低至少一半,實在讓人洩氣。584Please respect copyright.PENANAbYLrlu1BLt
584Please respect copyright.PENANA7CnA0Wq57o
在歎著氣的同時,我將報告書以Whatsapp,各自傳給巴別塔光明會(除了Moscow killer以外)的每個成員。584Please respect copyright.PENANAHt7uXST7XN
584Please respect copyright.PENANAZJbiyXkhCC
然後,可能有點心理不平衡,所以就不自覺撥了通電話給芙,不消兩下,她就接聽了:584Please respect copyright.PENANAriZmXJy5BX
584Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ7ASvFOjU
「點啊?返到屋企喇?頭先順唔順利啊?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAF0fccnpnma
584Please respect copyright.PENANAE86PHEAuOZ
聽到她的聲音,我才發覺到現在的行為是有點瘋狂的。不過聽語氣,她對於我這個突如其來的來電,沒有半點不高興。584Please respect copyright.PENANAcuZZodGJkO
584Please respect copyright.PENANAtLM2S5aIaN
頓一頓,我才回答:「幾好啦,結果比預期好。」然後又生硬地補充:584Please respect copyright.PENANAfty81a2haJ
584Please respect copyright.PENANAhudYmsArqD
「只係中間發生左個令人頭痛既小插曲,不過唔係乜野問題,好簡單就可以處理到。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAuiUuz6CQL9
584Please respect copyright.PENANADaKDSQp14J
我不能洩露太多有關巴別塔的所有事給她,所以說得天一半地一半,連我都不知自己究竟想說什麼。584Please respect copyright.PENANAZ86QwjOWov
584Please respect copyright.PENANAeZdp5w20DU
她輕聲發出:「嗯……」的聲音,示意我可以繼續說。584Please respect copyright.PENANA8EqHKNJx88
584Please respect copyright.PENANAyzqd7R2Yzb
但我只有另一個問題想問:「你想唔想知發生乜野事?」這是個必然的問題,有好奇心的正常人都會想搞清楚身邊的人在發生什麼事。584Please respect copyright.PENANA0fhvXqCYRs
584Please respect copyright.PENANA3v6pyhDxRC
「你覺得我可以知道既時候,自自然然就會講架啦,係咪?」她溫柔而無起伏地回答。584Please respect copyright.PENANA5LrLOvAFSe
584Please respect copyright.PENANAmneTWAHzQA
「係。」我記得她不是第一次這樣回答我。對一個正常人來說,這明顯是異常的情況,雖說我知道,我們兩人都不是太過普通的人。584Please respect copyright.PENANAIvnz8uhYuY
584Please respect copyright.PENANA5VrGcgKlgg
不過我還是想知道,這個太過善解人意的她究竟在想什麼:「但你明知我一直有野隱瞞住你,唔會好想知道咩?唔會有D乜野不安?」584Please respect copyright.PENANASE7iny523L
584Please respect copyright.PENANAMUYyvcobny
她理所當然地回答:「唔會啊。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAWsEHHYWIdT
584Please respect copyright.PENANAcSPqWmzQuD
這樣說的可能性不多,大概就只有,她的演技很好;她是一個沒有感情的機械人;又或是她完全的理解,明白我的苦處和行動背後的意義。584Please respect copyright.PENANA50SEcmSFtz
584Please respect copyright.PENANAtTzzQfxxyd
我個人而言,是深信最後一個答案的,而她也向我坦白說:「因為我覺得自己已經夠了解你,所以我會全心全意相信你。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAoX239NPFww
584Please respect copyright.PENANATyuh7WHikS
她的善解人意,強得好像有一雙透視眼,看得穿每個人的內心,而且有著溫和的性格,毫無懸念是個一等一的『賢內助』,是不少男人所渴求的。584Please respect copyright.PENANAttAAu6Ff0r
584Please respect copyright.PENANAHVBtW94oya
而來到今日,為什麼這個機會,會落在我周壯志的身上?實在令人好奇:「我真係覺得好奇怪……點解你到今日都未嫁人既?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAhxOnpXpjNJ
584Please respect copyright.PENANAllqYoVihOp
她支支吾吾地自言自語了一會兒,才開始回答:「嗯……因為我有個好惡既爸爸……」這明顯只是個開場白,但我承認有個當差老豆的女子,實在會讓人退避三舍的。「同埋把口成日唔識收掛?」最後她再補上一句:「而事實上,無論如何我依種人都唔太討人喜愛。」584Please respect copyright.PENANABLYYa2brY8
584Please respect copyright.PENANA4aKvY4TwuW
我沒有說話,亦沒有裝傻說太多廢話,只是安靜地等她繼續說下去。584Please respect copyright.PENANAkH2QO8lKMa
584Please respect copyright.PENANADZFdmDokCB
「我所講既,唔係守唔到祕密既意思。而係我經常講左一D唔應該講既野,由細細個開始已經係咁。」她溫柔的語氣開始沉下來,「你信唔信我?我可以聽到一個人幾時口是心非,幾時誠心誠意。」最後更消沉地補上一句:「好多人都話我好恐怖……」584Please respect copyright.PENANAdqBfziRU34
584Please respect copyright.PENANAba0bXAcIKi
要是身邊有個懂讀心術的人,應該就明白她所說的。沒錯,總被別人估到自己的下一步,是一件令人心寒的事,因為這感覺已經不是赤裸裸那麼簡單,而是好像眼前放著一張自己被剝下的人皮那樣,恐怖得讓人心寒。584Please respect copyright.PENANAEnueH3YHUZ
584Please respect copyright.PENANApKkmUdrAU3
若果對方是阿芙的話,我就覺得完全沒問題,所以能夠即時確切地回答:「芙,你唔恐怖,一D都唔恐怖。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAp2ppVB7i8b
584Please respect copyright.PENANAlzzLZr89Ld
不過如果對方是個全身都是毛的變態肥佬,感覺肯定就不再一樣了。584Please respect copyright.PENANACqc8L27Af4
584Please respect copyright.PENANAg5FD6x3kzH
她聽罷放鬆地苦笑一聲,然後跟我說另一件事:「你知唔知,好多人生命走到盡頭既時候,都會講大話?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAhhdigzkiU9
584Please respect copyright.PENANAziZUKM8Dem
有時人就是會這樣,說些自己都不知意義的事。不管她有心還是無意,我想自己已經推斷到她的用意。這是前日她在Whatsaap所提過生死問題的後續。584Please respect copyright.PENANASSHSnJntCd
584Please respect copyright.PENANAqX2PrIeHFU
但她所說的話本身有什麼意思,我就不太清楚了:「點解佢地要咁做?佢地想呃邊個?」584Please respect copyright.PENANA8gJ3EoBN8U
584Please respect copyright.PENANAYjhJdnrmOx
「我都唔知……但以我到目前為止既經驗……我諗佢地講大話唔係想呃任何人……」只聽聲音,她的呼吸有點亂起來,接著停頓兩秒,才低聲,裝作沉穩的再開口說:584Please respect copyright.PENANAQnBXNt7SjG
584Please respect copyright.PENANA0yM4JJM9Wb
「我覺得佢地好似想呃既人,就係佢地自己。就算平時做人幾真誠都好,去到最後一刻都會講大話……每日見得愈多,我就愈唔明,點解會發生咁樣既事。」584Please respect copyright.PENANA0UHHFRQr5j
584Please respect copyright.PENANATjYiuPqgsl
她努力將每一個字都說得清清楚楚,直到說完想說的所有話才停頓下來。584Please respect copyright.PENANAHUqAfqO6W1
584Please respect copyright.PENANA4oHV1IFX0c
這毫無疑問,是在向我訴苦吧。這回事每個人都試過聽,也試過吐。而現在芙所說的,是我廿多年來接觸過,最苦的苦水。584Please respect copyright.PENANAfAcIk6CNJ7
584Please respect copyright.PENANANE1aJ5WNyF
就我所理解,這不是普通的工作壓力,更不是純粹的心理作用,而是由死神與亡魂怨念交纏時所產生的噪音。584Please respect copyright.PENANAvZLj0oS0FQ
584Please respect copyright.PENANAlYNxL9wOzc
對於這種痛苦,我不知道應該如何去安慰她,也不希望例牌地鼓勵她辭工,若她受不了,應該早就不幹了。但她還留在那裡,那個為她帶來此等痛苦的地方,有著這樣的堅持,她肯定也有著自己的理由。584Please respect copyright.PENANAk0tGAA05KX
584Please respect copyright.PENANA6rqdKJL2mE
我只能輕輕的安撫一下她,除了這樣,我想不到還有什麼可以做:「你而家承受緊既壓力,唔係一般人可以接受到。因為你唔只目擊到一個人既死,而係連對方既情緒都接受埋……根本無人可以習慣到依種事,以一個經常面對死亡既護士黎講,你已經比任何人都更專業。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAVl8BjwQsmN
584Please respect copyright.PENANAeXC9R6Lhnu
不知是我說得不太好,還是她不習慣被人這樣對待,所以有點尷尬地低聲說:「你其實唔洗咁講都得架……」584Please respect copyright.PENANAKVFExA9iTW
584Please respect copyright.PENANA8dpP5oHVwt
「我講真,比著其他人,甚至係我,見過一次咁既情況之後,應該會即刻辭職唔做。」我直說心底話。584Please respect copyright.PENANAh1AKorca2Y
584Please respect copyright.PENANA3bLObnkvLR
怎料她竟然忽然笑了幾聲,再說:「係咩?乜你咁渣架?」讓整個氣氛都緩和了。584Please respect copyright.PENANAeR7L6lmTcO
584Please respect copyright.PENANAApnY8RolK6
我不希望回答得太過沒頭沒腦,於是就問一下,是什麼讓她能夠支持著那艱辛的護士工作:「係喇,一直都無問你,點解你會做護士既?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAUShkke69Cb
584Please respect copyright.PENANAlBx1Sa3RsK
這是個不錯的問題。如何能夠分辯一個人是否真的有理想,只取要問他的初衷就可以了。如果他是個空口說白話的傢伙,你將在他的回答當中聲到很多似是而到非的廢話。584Please respect copyright.PENANAwWhpsH5Upc
584Please respect copyright.PENANA3wVUal4XsK
我肯定芙一定有自己的理想,但現在她選擇不回答:「嗯……唔話你知住!我都差唔多要收線喇。」再將話題拉開:「睇你等等都無精神過黎同我食早餐架啦?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAxjPVHQKsRy
584Please respect copyright.PENANAhe17npvsvn
「下?我得架!」我是認真的。584Please respect copyright.PENANAwvsBN1mLmt
584Please respect copyright.PENANAIIop3sOcf2
不過她笑著將我拒絕:「唔好搞喇,聽朝就算你黎,我都唔同你食。乖乖地訓啦,我唔想幾日之後見到你捱到面都黃埋。」雖說見到她會讓我有著用之不盡的精力,但她卻覺得我的肝在生理上並不會同意這件事。584Please respect copyright.PENANAIACKX4LArt
584Please respect copyright.PENANAj3OUr77Z1w
正因這樣,她才是我所愛的女人,她沒有半點虛偽,只有真誠,讓人暖入心窩。我摸摸後腦,覺得自己這一刻實在太幸褔了:「你講到咁既話,我都無辦法啦,咁你聽到朝返到屋企whatsapp我啦。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAiVhn9HsmVi
584Please respect copyright.PENANADNLCKUC979
「好啦。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAlloB4Jov7l
584Please respect copyright.PENANAdMktjwwi3G
「嗯,唔阻你喇,拜拜。」584Please respect copyright.PENANA9VSMrO2b8q
584Please respect copyright.PENANAQIX0ksTqcl
她也向我道別:「拜拜。」然後在掛線前再帶著無比誠意的向我補上一句:「志,多謝你啊。」584Please respect copyright.PENANALBEntUI65Q
584Please respect copyright.PENANA42scbDickm
我來不及反應,她已經掛線了。584Please respect copyright.PENANAAbqGvxpzlj
584Please respect copyright.PENANALuTNz51UU7
584Please respect copyright.PENANASng16nK3wZ
將IPhone換到手上看看,剛剛發出的報告書,除了四眼仔之外,其他人都未有回覆(甚至連藍剔都沒有),但這也是難怪的,因為現在的時間已經剛好半夜四點,正常人這個時間大都已經睡得失去知覺。584Please respect copyright.PENANAVWaUXiUGk4
584Please respect copyright.PENANAzk35Liu4iU
看看四眼仔的回覆,我的頭頂開始有個問號冒出來:584Please respect copyright.PENANAYYDsqvzLaN
584Please respect copyright.PENANAo8FkwIZJ2S
「ABC?個攣毛仔信唔信得過?你同佢係咪好熟?」584Please respect copyright.PENANACpjygO3ww6
584Please respect copyright.PENANAqTgSEOuAMB
回答了一句:「係啊,識左好耐,有乜問題?」我就開始回想剛剛與阿熹達成共識後發生了什麼事,想想四眼仔到底在擔心什麼。584Please respect copyright.PENANAY9gE2tzH3Z
584Please respect copyright.PENANAadmOWncncf
584Please respect copyright.PENANA4qLj3AsLNj
跟阿熹談過之後,作為一個操控狂的他沒有太多要求,只是非常簡單向我再次交代Moscow killer的處置問題,以及讓菲傭與少主的帖子繼續順其自然。584Please respect copyright.PENANAtSOysIMHN1
584Please respect copyright.PENANA07DjVBFE5I
接著我們站起來握個手,對於本是好友的我們這實在是個無謂的禮節,不過是不做不行的,因為當中的意義並非只屬於我們兩人之間,而是巴別塔與阿熹集團的合作。584Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1IiluiCly
584Please respect copyright.PENANApsZ3klGIZS
然後,我們就相安無事地出到大廳,吃了由光頭佬準備的簡單晚餐(沒想到原來他在七仔所說的是真的),簡單這個詞是光頭佬笑笑口所說的,對我來說,這根本與『簡單』兩個字扯不上任何關係!584Please respect copyright.PENANAqd7D6fXZA6
584Please respect copyright.PENANAXInzvynnUy
因為眼前的是涼拌雞絲,回鍋肉,酸辣湯和炸銀絲卷,還有一碟水晶般吸引的肴肉,我實在分不出那是謙虛還是一個真正的玩笑了。584Please respect copyright.PENANAlW1QeDYllN
584Please respect copyright.PENANAAU9QDw0AgJ
不知是否因為剛被叮叮飯虐待過的緣故,一口雞絲夾進口裡馬上大放異彩,神秘的醬汁散發著濃香的芝麻香以及那幼滑的口感,再上去是輕輕的麻與辣,以及陳醋那低調而不可缺的風味,雞絲帶有微微酒香又不失本身的雞鮮味,實在是美味得讓人忘記禮節,本能俱使下吃完一口又一口。584Please respect copyright.PENANA1hsGqBxuG2
584Please respect copyright.PENANABwPajYYD6M
直至第三口我才能重拾理智回來,停下手上的筷子,見到我這麼捧場,剛為食桌添上兩碗担担麵的光頭佬看來十分高興說:584Please respect copyright.PENANAM53Sn0dQk3
584Please respect copyright.PENANAMLeVnKsAtk
「我成個雪櫃都係雞絲,唔洗同我客氣喎!等我撈多碟出黎比你啦!」584Please respect copyright.PENANASOls6iAO84
584Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ziELx3YH
我自動地拒絕:「唔洗喇……」但剛出來的坐在我對面的阿熹卻代我回答:「唔洗理佢。整碟大碟D既出黎,要多碗麵。」584Please respect copyright.PENANACt3PojEnXA
584Please respect copyright.PENANAwbDHllU23S
光頭佬馬上強而有力地回答:「OK!」然後那個非常別致的開放式廚房,繼續忙自己的。584Please respect copyright.PENANAfNr5az5gUK
584Please respect copyright.PENANAlJNEuQNsuk
阿熹則焦點落在電話,同時又跟我說:「鐘意食就幫食多D啦,我已經食左兩日,快D幫我清左佢我會多謝你。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAgT1ymmFm1w
584Please respect copyright.PENANA1neTQKePJv
我見四眼仔又沒什麼話說,只是在看著自己的電話,間中吃點口麵,喝口酸辣湯,然後露出滿足的笑容。584Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ2TC3p0Vv
584Please respect copyright.PENANAd0QoFruSrz
為免場面太尷尬,我就問一下無聊的問題:「你地唔係都係門薩學會既成員黎既咩?點解會有個廚師係度既?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAUCrrYn9W6t
584Please respect copyright.PENANAJiktzli5oS
阿熹即時笑了出來,向我解釋:「邊個話佢係廚師,佢都算係個化學家黎架!」584Please respect copyright.PENANA7cZYtNee3O
584Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7tIUXj18j
「下?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAogIcakthhV
584Please respect copyright.PENANAV5q8h88UtG
「放心啦,煮飯係佢興趣黎既姐,同埋我都無見佢煮過份子料理,所以依堆野應該天然多於化學既……」584Please respect copyright.PENANAGnruQtcDkJ
584Please respect copyright.PENANA2z9woOLooi
接著,食桌又再回復平靜,我有我吃麵,他有他看電話,不久,我又發問新的問題:584Please respect copyright.PENANASspwYmzfeV
584Please respect copyright.PENANACB23KAqzfY
「話時話,你地個組織有無名?」584Please respect copyright.PENANA69COeDuVJz
584Please respect copyright.PENANAOQFlfsnhO5
阿熹焦點沒有因此離開電話上,無心裝載地反問:「點解咁問?你知黎想做乜?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAobJ5tLsoB5
584Please respect copyright.PENANA9rTW9e85jx
只是不用等我回應,已經有人忠實地回答我的問題:「我地只係一群微不足道既烏合之眾,無乜必要係任何人口中出現,所以依個組織唔需要名。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAbm4oK3kzzv
584Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9sHZUctT
說話者是一把女聲,單是聽聲音我已經知道她是Metis。在我沒有發覺的情況下,她無聲無色坐到阿熹的旁邊。584Please respect copyright.PENANAnfLmRqNR1C
584Please respect copyright.PENANAFFrvSKnx3O
她正手持著一杯熱飲(我不知道那是不是咖啡),然後如之前一樣,以帽沿下唯一可見的眼注視著我,向我展現出一種僵硬的笑容。584Please respect copyright.PENANAy8LpwApGqn
584Please respect copyright.PENANAAPxqwkEHY3
阿熹視線不變,今次應該在向Metis說:「多事。」584Please respect copyright.PENANA2HfjcArqxJ
584Please respect copyright.PENANATdgUmqWngC
然後有人接著問:「其實無名都唔出奇……不過一個組織存在,應該有佢既目的,你地既目的係乜野?」584Please respect copyright.PENANAlNiobTBOUa
584Please respect copyright.PENANAQhrDC1Nl9E
發問的人不是我,是一直沉默著的四眼仔。但結果阿熹沒有回答,Metis亦保持沉默喝咖啡,兩秒後光頭佬為我們送上一碟特大的涼拌雞絲,然後在不知不覺之間,就被Metis的小問題引導,自然地轉到了有關我和阿熹的往事。584Please respect copyright.PENANAsBi2f2t7NF
584Please respect copyright.PENANAKGLHluahv4
當下我實在不太在意到這個重要的問題被如此巧妙地回避了。584Please respect copyright.PENANAUZQRZJ0tvg
584Please respect copyright.PENANAM7i7X61H9x
吃完那餐飯過後,事情就很自然地完結了,就好像只是出席了一場聚舊的飯局一樣,而且結束得更自然,更平常。584Please respect copyright.PENANAxPd08wQAZd
584Please respect copyright.PENANAT2LsBe9Ivt
阿熹直到最後都沒有什麼特別要求,只是說有什麼要求會用電話聯絡我,就將我們送離那裡,並由光頭佬親自送我們回家。584Please respect copyright.PENANA5dhclRKYLr
584Please respect copyright.PENANArfxu0Kh0p7
在路途上,光頭佬說過不少話,多數是有關烹飪的,而最後在放下我四眼仔之前,他說了一句古怪,而我沒有太留意到的話。584Please respect copyright.PENANAJwYld7Ptqs
584Please respect copyright.PENANAjSgUzDZETU
現在卻由四眼仔在Whatsapp跟我再度提起,勾起我的回憶:584Please respect copyright.PENANAujjse3R2Z4
584Please respect copyright.PENANAHipAHJjqv3
「你如果知道乜野係Cathodic protection,應該就會明白我地同你地之間既關係其實真係好簡單。」584Please respect copyright.PENANAPwBNPgo36l
584Please respect copyright.PENANAG8gw8H9RlT
584Please respect copyright.PENANAu4SbdqsYO9
四眼仔現在對阿熹組織有所懷疑,絕對就是因為光頭佬的這句話吧?話說回來『Cathodic protection』究竟是什麼?我實在完全不知道。584Please respect copyright.PENANAEtmbd5ZJ0Z
584Please respect copyright.PENANAm7UkdbwES3
584Please respect copyright.PENANApnkeFpA8Tj
