等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JuSyCEU3x

「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuzNjto5Mk
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWQpPpARJH
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH9lfPeIFE
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02qApkGEP9
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygOoxPb0iJ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5CsvShZZs
「我好了，接下來呢？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fDOosL9Y6
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ao4IfFLlh
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K2CGXYfcG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02xB1LshZM
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF79990d5p
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnFCTsZl58
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu9k7xaZkI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1i5pRoPl
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh8jUVh6Fx
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Ba64NjaM
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVlR4xcxbG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XSgiHHul
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFliqNB8TK5
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecidZNhcbt
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1G8KMnBP1
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlt9tGiu8p
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFmrwORSrs
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBF0wUwB8m
「他們…死了？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHbuRq9Op
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7b0BBjSe
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr1JavQRHF
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnpTWdTonA
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZpLm9z28l
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwWA5di0IF
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVl7h6mrk4
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOuoPIYfsy
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTo9XsNuIE
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2vIne4lq
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgrO0Nijk
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KlEXne0L5
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZcLbDPF2O
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEpgZ0fqu6
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK63kZdHV6
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm50wEm1YL
「啊！幹！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlxb4MBBWp
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU7DvHjZbv
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJa2hn6DC4
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsO5LmRooW
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKQcdq95OF
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wcRWJIww2
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PtL5tAfxp
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUaEarbe9x
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpDfoYD9FM
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1ckCpVg0
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUnthkNQWp
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewANA8d0lD
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrR8zMbbeH
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3QpVpOHM
「我要可是……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNowuKv6Qrx
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNPBDIsmJb
「賽博，聽他的……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bNbolP8og
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbP4bYR66p
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dUHm5HssO
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1h68yLdnz
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFhRpbTxLx
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQImzpa4MK
「……………」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoiFLFFKiR
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7dcC0oYBa
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoavuRd92xw
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Pwb7bkDj
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCvkKNnTNI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaQ74TTqRU
老人瞇著眼看著我70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ366zo0LMmI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDid7uipUu
「我也不知道。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTtPFte7r6
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uLZYPtgH
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9VY0iLeQU
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhb7LrWF7L
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYcpNYyC1H
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCScfpDxwJE
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2jZvtpd9
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkIUB421VT
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGPv3DouAI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQYozqq1bA
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56uqjjBAW
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXgnQx7tki
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E5uDbkX5U
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8XoJufbQM
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbx7OTBRRX
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5CXjnxoET
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20YcjUYJiW
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpXNrkhDu0
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
