「你好了沒?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAklIfyWAgcx
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGibPWEXE8Q
喝著第二杯蜂蜜牛奶,十條看著哭得稀哩嘩啦的朱櫻,好像一尊在溶化的蠟像,怪詭異的。247Please respect copyright.PENANA73o3qgvs04
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbYqiSFI9ak
「可以,我好了。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAXorftZxXqE
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZH8hdxScRs
朱櫻歸還手帕。十條用「你確定?」的眼神看著他,確認朱櫻真的沒再哭,十條才開口:247Please respect copyright.PENANAVlTR3Gjrfj
247Please respect copyright.PENANAloGs3sw0AD
「多虧那位悅兒,兩年後,我變得非常強,那些我曾經害怕的惡魔,每一個都慘死在我腳下;而且,我還激發了某種能力。」247Please respect copyright.PENANALQTdmeOOGJ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgXr3LLIfrF
說完,十條撥開瀏海,露出他的右眼。除了青草般的綠色,朱櫻發現,十條的右眼有類似羅盤的指針和刻度,他嚇了一跳。247Please respect copyright.PENANAIPm6iqeQOj
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYOYkiq6p6n
「這是?」247Please respect copyright.PENANA7WRtw46B7A
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmp7XI58C8A
「空間魔法。」十條放下瀏海,「柰柰說是天賦,確實,他教我魔法時,空間魔法我學最快。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAhqHhuDSv2E
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZk0jYD9inX
他記得那一天,柰一個人在房間看書,十條直接用空間魔法傳送到柰面前,給他一個驚喜。247Please respect copyright.PENANAqgDCmRjeEk
247Please respect copyright.PENANAeG7p2ReEwI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAuuwWuhIwiI
「柰柰!你看你看!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAjFVrIFr7Zs
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5F2TodbUQ9
247Please respect copyright.PENANAs1pc5Ru9HF
經過兩年,十條不像之前一樣怕生,不只和柰變成朋友,還稱呼他「柰柰」。247Please respect copyright.PENANAnLErkT3Tzw
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8gHQIaLcY
「很厲害喔。」247Please respect copyright.PENANACErX6JdKJS
247Please respect copyright.PENANABqcTu9nYoB
柰沒嚇到,用哄小孩的口吻稱讚對方、摸摸十條的頭,十條看起來很高興。247Please respect copyright.PENANAAa6l7J01Rr
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUwznHbpRgc
「但是,我的空間魔法只能在城堡裡使用,為什麼啊?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAQJeI52d7jw
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5Elz5jKOCK
「因為你的世界很小。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAWSFLiSmLHf
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjK7bjKHsI7
柰給了很難懂的答案。十條一陣困惑,柰突然換話題。247Please respect copyright.PENANAtuOjvHt50E
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgi7LGwsVLs
「猶大說,你把那隻天使吃掉了。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA1NFQTeipPH
247Please respect copyright.PENANAcyFG6VQPvd
「嗯!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAMbajVoDBUb
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQqeqE3r8b8
「能讓我看看原身嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAVntmtMo2hI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAeiTgmJoAKx
十條點頭,下一秒,一隻巨大、六公尺長的綠色大蛇出現在面前,綠色的鱗片閃著光澤,血紅的雙眼、細細的黑色瞳孔,一顆眼睛有一顆棒球大。十條光抬頭,就和柰一樣高了。247Please respect copyright.PENANArPWHZ8lCXl
247Please respect copyright.PENANATlCmmdpz4S
蛇巨大的頭靠過來、在柰身上蹭了蹭。柰寵溺地摸著他,「知道這代表什麼嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAlFuHk3FuWg
247Please respect copyright.PENANAHi6IBC40Nd
「嗯。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA62j7MuLSWu
247Please respect copyright.PENANA0qwx3TAivB
語畢,十條變回人形。柰拍了拍沙發,示意十條坐到旁邊。247Please respect copyright.PENANAM3w5RxqWbQ
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAlYHX4WPSv
「進入正題前,我想先問你。」柰看向十條,「你不怕我要你做的事,會讓你死嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAHkjpB23moy
247Please respect copyright.PENANAedcSEduNT2
「會呀。」十條不隱瞞,「我還是很膽小、很怕死,沒有變。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAPyx5EYTlAW
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYc66tU9Pqt
「為什麼不逃跑?」柰動人一笑,「從我這裡吃飽了、吃夠了,你大可一走了之,怎麼願意留到現在?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAKyLcw9lv0C
247Please respect copyright.PENANAU6DImFPORK
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAm0Py0yYwYH
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbdv3bR2flc
十條沈默很久,柰饒有興致地看著他,期待他的答案。247Please respect copyright.PENANAg9ij1Emsjq
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUKo7mL9Iqz
「柰柰,我這兩年從自己身上,意識到惡魔真的無藥可救。自私、殘忍、縱慾、弱肉強食、恃強凌弱……」247Please respect copyright.PENANAeDdpJeNk61
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAGeop4Vgj2
十條列了一堆缺點,柰認真地聽。247Please respect copyright.PENANAYt5J0FbuRv
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPwvkKrYpVn
「但我也發現了惡魔的優點──不忘恩。對自己有恩的人,惡魔絕對不會忘記。」247Please respect copyright.PENANADhDKcUhkY8
247Please respect copyright.PENANA77hUt9IlPO
十條微笑。247Please respect copyright.PENANAprqD9pGNbd
247Please respect copyright.PENANAVfSYgDvXBr
「你要我做的事一定危險,我也會怕,可是……假如我真的死了,我只會恨自己、恨把我殺死的人,絕對不會恨柰柰。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAPj9xoYSn8D
247Please respect copyright.PENANAesl9dm855W
「……!」247Please respect copyright.PENANArAjLU0jKQi
247Please respect copyright.PENANAsmHO18XJ9J
「我很喜歡柰柰,不只因為你對我好;是你救了我,我才能活到現在。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAsZID9upIWI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAaQfFsNZHCj
十條說著,整個人靠到柰身上,撒嬌的模樣非常可愛。247Please respect copyright.PENANA8De3uDoNWs
247Please respect copyright.PENANADPhcUJIhuW
「而且,說不定我不會死。等事情辦完,我、柰柰、猶大,我們三人可以繼續在一起!一直一直在一起!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAGnnDmedgZm
247Please respect copyright.PENANA40brtMdyFp
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAolEl9Aa3Gv
247Please respect copyright.PENANAyrUBCehk7z
柰沒有回答、陷入沈默。十條不知道自己這一番話,聽在活了千年之久的柰耳裡,是什麼樣的意義。247Please respect copyright.PENANA0TB2L4K5JI
247Please respect copyright.PENANAW6pLFknyl7
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPb8pf5ktYP
──他會死,是因為你。247Please respect copyright.PENANAbEmG65rdrx
247Please respect copyright.PENANALu4llawGE3
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkm7dQBWqVQ
「……十條。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAwpWvc2NWtH
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4V9wlcl9A7
柰叫了他,也是認識以來,柰第一次叫他的名字。247Please respect copyright.PENANAx73HyoFHXb
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ6sgDtKY9
「我接下來說的事很重要,聽清楚了。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAdBGLwF0eQO
247Please respect copyright.PENANARi1wmXFtC5
說完,柰拿起他剛剛在看的書,是一本黑色硬皮、封面畫了天秤的古書,封面寫著白色的惡魔文字:《觀星者》。247Please respect copyright.PENANAMbpLHAk8Qy
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPDj5SQQcZG
「你的世界很小,因為除了地獄,你沒有去過其它地方。這世界其實很大,大到你無法想像。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAUcYr2AFQWC
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxpwag3YHMF
柰一邊說,一邊翻開書的第一頁,指著上面的圖,「你看。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAcVK2NoVqWs
247Please respect copyright.PENANASkCC63z5GD
十條探頭。那是一個很抽象、由幾條線構成的圖,它清楚告訴讀者:世界被一分為四,分別為光、暗、陽、陰,位於世界的上、下、左、右。247Please respect copyright.PENANA5MXxBgkMjA
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5Na0GPyMfF
「陰陽兩界先不管,和我們相關的是光與暗;光的代表是天國,暗的代表是地獄。」柰說。247Please respect copyright.PENANAfCf8TWDbho
247Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Z8dkqUgX
「……原來還有這麼多地方。」十條眨眼,「因為不知道,所以我的世界很小?」247Please respect copyright.PENANATQTRanabLH
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQUlq7SyjNK
柰點頭,白皙、擦著紅色指甲油的手指放到圖的中央,是一個圓圈。247Please respect copyright.PENANAnytIMJv1fm
247Please respect copyright.PENANA6fggTOsfWj
「世界的中心,我們叫它『中土』,也被稱作人間。這裡相當於世界的軸,也是最重要的一塊地。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA3xZMcDyOAk
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxaTVzsVZ7W
柰仔細解釋,十條也仔細地聽。247Please respect copyright.PENANAnKC1nDqLA4
247Please respect copyright.PENANAixH6DrCae0
「光、暗、陰、陽、中土,五個地方彼此獨立,也環環相扣。其中一方失衡,位於軸心的中土首當其衝;一旦軸心破壞,世界也會分崩離析,萬物死亡、消散、化為無,什麼都不會留下。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAhFp1xRZGSp
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYBIFGI7ou3
柰的手指放到圖的上方。十條的視線跟著移動,是封面畫的那個天秤。247Please respect copyright.PENANA0po3whExIi
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOGdQYoAmVW
247Please respect copyright.PENANA6fXQUn1Pb0
「所以,世界的最高原則是『平衡』。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAlbU6WvBL8C
247Please respect copyright.PENANABqZ4kOvy2F
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5eDFh8WF4Q
柰解釋:「光暗要平衡,陰陽要平衡,四界不得插手人間事物、與中土劃清界線──所有國家、種族皆須遵守,這是世界的規矩。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAdIG3YF0sld
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdfCAiRY76N
「如果違規呢?」十條好奇,「會怎麼樣?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAuLxkGCRWgs
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZOl3McVBVX
「『觀星者』會出現。」柰微笑,「他們會敲你的門、視情況懲處;嚴重的話,會被就地處死。」247Please respect copyright.PENANADink4LOqOa
247Please respect copyright.PENANAG5IWPE0PGb
「……!?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAVwomCWyP3y
247Please respect copyright.PENANAeQyNu6nc1Y
聽起來好像FBI,「觀星者?」十條再問:「那是什麼?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8OMwVzwM6
247Please respect copyright.PENANAk2zKJTJ5ZL
「『天秤的守護者』。」柰回答:「打從世界成形,觀星者就存在,他們的使命是維持世界平衡,沒事不會現身,不會出手,是很客觀、被動,也很神秘的一群人。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAA9oPTgJtLS
247Please respect copyright.PENANAY1YhdJuWu9
十條忍不住「哇」一聲。真如柰所說,他的視野一下被拓開好多,世界變得好大。247Please respect copyright.PENANArnkI2rE4bi
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGbqxjQAWs0
「觀星者很強嗎?」十條又問。247Please respect copyright.PENANAYHySyrhIs0
247Please respect copyright.PENANA8qBG6IaURb
「是的。」柰說:「無法用言語的強大。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAfejq0nWhs5
247Please respect copyright.PENANANE6AyqUo73
「比柰柰還強?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAMCJnWnOY2P
247Please respect copyright.PENANAwmohzDRVNA
「當然。」柰覺得這問題很可愛,「他們背負沈重的使命,強大是必須的。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAkN0CHCnhdc
247Please respect copyright.PENANAe7et984ipa
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAerC8qIki8R
247Please respect copyright.PENANAWXvDBFn05y
十條看著書上的圖,直覺告訴他:柰要他去做的事,和那個天秤有關。247Please respect copyright.PENANAAgvXBPLvtO
247Please respect copyright.PENANADOkpWOCfck
247Please respect copyright.PENANAM18fQIokBA
「我們此刻的世界正在失衡,原因出在天國,也就是天使。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAGPNkM7CyTX
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ3IrwwWNe
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9rO5eWhnLC
柰闔上書本,語重心長。247Please respect copyright.PENANAlRi6bYSVUu
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxVVngruhm3
「相較於有紀律的天國,地獄太弱,光與暗的天秤正在崩壞。我之所以救你,因為你有潛力屠殺大量天使,削弱光的勢力。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA3CGG26kYra
247Please respect copyright.PENANAaAcQYCdfhm
「……!?」十條感到震驚、疑惑,「我的潛力?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAo3maJa4dCf
247Please respect copyright.PENANAVykWbj0pSK
「你的外表。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAdbZnWs3P14
247Please respect copyright.PENANAFsmKlRVIUT
柰的手指滑過十條的臉──可愛、稚嫩、精緻。天使喜歡小孩,毫無疑問,十條的臉符合天使的喜好,這是種族天性。247Please respect copyright.PENANAvlexYcM5HR
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbRQG1AWEDL
「妥善利用外表,你可以殺死非常多天使,而且是高階天使。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAFdw4n2sEoh
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOz5arARBCx
柰的語氣不容異議。247Please respect copyright.PENANAkT0nBZPkeO
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdAe2XgNg4D
「地獄需要時間整頓,在那之前,需要一個人去天國大鬧一場、轉移天使的注意──這件事只有你辦得到,也是我帶你回來的原因。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA6KZalDVaDY
247Please respect copyright.PENANASs0B0tPfNy
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ9adtau5c
247Please respect copyright.PENANAknRmgCySga
別說危險,柰給他的任務,說是送死也不誇張。惡魔連在地獄,都可能被路過的天使殺掉,何況是天國──沒有惡魔從天國活著回來,從來沒有。247Please respect copyright.PENANAq7UvTMA7d1
247Please respect copyright.PENANAlIdh6EZIHQ
「柰柰,你是觀星者嗎?」十條問他:「為什麼你這麼在乎平衡?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAcEZDi7UYHv
247Please respect copyright.PENANADWnV920tdc
「我不是觀星者,我的出發點很單純:要是天國太強、惡魔數量銳減,我就沒有東西吃了。」柰聳肩,「我也是惡魔,我必須確保我的食物來源,就是這麼簡單。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAyY4ubmg61o
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOuuWWIe46l
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA4mvxMzzIf7
247Please respect copyright.PENANAn5nwZwAj6B
柰不是聖人,是自私的惡魔。若非自身利益,他不會在乎光與暗的天秤,兩年前也不會救十條,供他吃又供他住。247Please respect copyright.PENANAoSYMBj7NQN
247Please respect copyright.PENANA7SkrJfttkQ
「後悔了嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAzVDhOOsu6a
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOYdsN6ffBV
柰看著十條呆掉的臉,「現在逃跑也沒用。不管你躲到哪,我都能把你抓回來。」247Please respect copyright.PENANACoRqEkcYdx
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ1ptfhkCt
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANA7I9ntbuwBe
247Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z4MBl95uP
十條低頭,面無表情。柰早有心理準備,十條可能會拒絕、反抗、試圖逃開,因為他很膽小,害怕死亡,腦子只有活下去、活下去、活下去……247Please respect copyright.PENANAFSqbc8dpE2
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAxGTZte4C1
247Please respect copyright.PENANAi3hbzLnsD4
「好。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAMZYGuDgUDi
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPlSeR5xHqW
247Please respect copyright.PENANAAfkr9riL16
但他沒有──柰瞪大眼睛──十條竟然抬頭,雙眼堅定,絲毫沒有猶豫。247Please respect copyright.PENANA56lB0tfmje
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkQD4ZI47sD
「柰柰,你放心,我絕對不會死!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAJtIgVj1G1w
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEAA78YxZvI
十條握住柰的手。247Please respect copyright.PENANAh1pRbM9Tzv
247Please respect copyright.PENANAOam0UYAwXt
「我會努力殺天使!我會殺掉很多、很多,也會把他們全部吃掉!只要變強,我就不會死了!」247Please respect copyright.PENANACgjTeozjzx
247Please respect copyright.PENANAUvve0RFOgI
用可愛的臉講殘酷的話。十條瞇起眼睛,燦爛一笑。247Please respect copyright.PENANAytD1EUyEcR
247Please respect copyright.PENANALtBBcOxrIV
「所以,等地獄整頓好,你一定要來接我喔!柰柰。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAHmn679TLG5
247Please respect copyright.PENANA62IErYzGhz
十條勾起柰的小拇指,「朋友之間不能背叛,約定好了!」247Please respect copyright.PENANA8nNafEFjxp
247Please respect copyright.PENANAydiDjcGSrH
「……。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAY423l9erLG
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGSTAJflkEd
……好吧。柰看著自己的小拇指。沒想到事情會是這樣,但他感覺不壞──至少聽到「朋友」兩字時,他感覺不壞。247Please respect copyright.PENANA8fRlgcOAX8
247Please respect copyright.PENANApd6V2lstYe
247Please respect copyright.PENANANgHZmlRfrg
「現在就要去了嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAV4RPJsmg0d
247Please respect copyright.PENANAsw1xMCtkDP
「嗯。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAXQlZ4q9fvX
247Please respect copyright.PENANAm1gUuccDOn
247Please respect copyright.PENANApl8kfAOfBV
突然就要道別,前往不熟悉的國度,十條此刻覺得不太真實,有些緊張。他當年的實力還沒「七大公」,也足以在地獄稱霸一方,不是那條什麼都怕的蛇。247Please respect copyright.PENANAAFBg3V7lmO
247Please respect copyright.PENANAvi2ijDe5n2
「可惜猶大出門了。」十條咕噥:「沒辦法說再見。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAqWi0TsDodV
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ1Y0zZBzZ
「他就算了吧。」柰起身,「反正你會回來,不是嗎?」247Please respect copyright.PENANAcbhWkUjCVV
247Please respect copyright.PENANAGY7Y2f1h9c
柰衝著自己笑。和兩年前一樣,十條依然覺得他很美,但那不是心動,是熟悉。他喜歡看柰笑,朋友笑起來最好看。247Please respect copyright.PENANAc2qfkVmmHz
247Please respect copyright.PENANALvjQxm7fRO
「嗯!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAPbtazm4ZuK
247Please respect copyright.PENANAApNNai9bs0
十條咧嘴一笑。柰彈指,他的腳下出現轉移法陣。247Please respect copyright.PENANAlDKycKEkxj
247Please respect copyright.PENANAyY6A2vN7uA
「柰柰,拜拜囉!」十條揮手,「See you later!」247Please respect copyright.PENANAbbrDTqANrC
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPrM8LUdL2C
語畢,嬌小的身影原地消失,被空間魔法傳送到天國。柰的房間變回一個人,變得好安靜。247Please respect copyright.PENANA6qI2MRcLXR
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzG0Yl4DSCo
247Please respect copyright.PENANA9pfHolhaZA
「Goodbye。」247Please respect copyright.PENANAfb8A1UMD2c
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnryNKOgBHt
247Please respect copyright.PENANAm4IQFTKBPu
柰閉上眼睛,輕輕說著:247Please respect copyright.PENANARkWHGFii6V
247Please respect copyright.PENANA4kzvQLeHMi
「See you soon……」247Please respect copyright.PENANAvqz9p8xNPA
