再次為妲羽和烏普西朗穿上黑披肩後，卡帕又緊抓起兩人的小手踏出車廂，一把嚥下對此地利己與物欲的不忿，只對周遭放出一臉嫌棄，心裡期望有日推翻命運神治世之後，定必要一掃如此歪風。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxScL5CMRBI

而初次來到工業城鎮，烏普西朗則撥開心裡對事態變化那丁點不安，好奇張望規模顯然比薄暮城與聖火城來得狹小的半露天車站，得意忘形地隔著卡帕興奮地對妲羽搬出以前從伊歐鎝口中聽回來的知識：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kAEWbWHs

妲羽神情恍惚地回應著叫喚，仍未完全從成為通輯犯的陰霾中步出，使她提不起勁，逐一顧慮留在薄暮城那些沒法帶走的一切事物。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bFygJU3NL

「說起魔匣，不知道伊歐鎝給我的魔匣還好嗎？我真的擔心那些大人已經找到它了。」說到這裡，烏普西朗隨即想起那藏在妲羽陋室暗格的淺藍色魔匣，再抬頭向卡帕說：「卡帕，要是伊歐鎝給我的魔匣落到心音手上了，你一定要給我把它搶回來！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwQ7ZNEtph

對此，卡帕亦只能報以苦笑，要跟一統整個終界的女神交手，對他來說還是言之尚早。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqK3CIGwAR

而聽見烏普西朗提及他自己的魔匣，不禁又讓妲羽想起家裡那台觀星儀與觀察紀錄。萬般不安在心頭，此刻她亦只能暗自對命運神許下禱告，期望家裡儀器、研究報告以至實驗心血不被樞密院的人大肆搜刮。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiW10qtjYB

剛好來到裝潢簡陋的車站大堂，空蕩寂靜之中突如響起一陣警報音，伴隨是清晰分明逐字吐出的廣播：280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72SyfiT4HU

簡單一句說話，幾乎讓卡帕瘋狂。本來打算快快掠過此處，登上前往黑輝淨土的長途班次，如今卻迎來這般最不情願遇上的情況。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53QHf5FwU1

在卡帕怒吼的同時，大隊穿上全套灰白色厚重保護衣、以防毒面罩整整覆蓋面容的抗疫人員接踵而來，衝進車站把包括卡帕在內十數位剛抵埗的訪客重重包圍。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwBRBANcCQ

「基於浮光淨土已經成為疫埠，本車站即將關閉。請你們保持冷靜、有序跟我們到集中管制區。如果你們在這裡有固定居所，而你又沒有出現病徵，可以容後提出轉送你們回去。」前頭的防疫隊長一副官腔說著，身後幾位隊員遂上前分別把卡帕等人抓住，強行拆散他們三人，並無視烏普西朗掙扎高呼先後押上車站外剛描畫成陣的銀白色傳送法陣。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Qes9bmnP

抗疫人員前後夾著卡帕，邊告誡邊帶他走進收容所裡。這本來是大型展覽廳的地方被木板分成上百個狹小空間，每個格子裡只放有一張竹蓆與一塊薄棉被，是病者、無家者與遊客在這裡僅有的生存空間。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ12AVDfO5

眼見大堆防疫人員仍然堵在門口，把剛死去的屍體抬出，再從外面推來一個接一個病人，周而復始，但仍久久未見妲羽或是烏普西朗的蹤影。焦躁下卡帕唯有滑起魔匣，分別對烏普西朗和妲羽留下訊息過後，便趁機找尋對於「黑血熱」的資料。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXq4elQMb

屏幕湧現的資訊裡，「黑血熱」是數天前突然在浮光淨土的怪病，患者初時會不停咳嗽、昏厥，神智不清，及後會全身滲出受感染的黑色血液，並高確率致死。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggcfHXTpzM

「疫病源頭相信為一位不明女子，於本季十六日曾到淨光淨土五號工業區醫院求醫，當時醫療報告指該女子背部傷口大規模滲透黑血。其後院內醫生護士以至求診者相繼發病，並把病源傳至整座淨土。」

卡帕幾乎肯定這場突如其來的災難與埃美克戎有著密切關係，而把她帶進淨土就醫的自己哪怕就是間接造成災難的元凶。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3uGCai2Ie

眼見場內病人一臉苦痛，咳嗽聲此起彼落，縱使就他觀察所見的浮光人生性自私且忠於物欲，令他感到討厭也好，他亦不甘願看到這些人接二連三因病而歿。至此，他不禁再次想起當天所見境況，再加思考：難道這病是從淨土以外經埃美克戎帶進這裡的嗎？是那些黑煙獸幹的好事嗎？那埃美克戎她現在不也就……280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sJAgsxsNS

眼見人心黑暗面不請自來，冥冥中挑釁著卡帕，刺激他心中怒火。然而，他再沒心力對其報以謾罵，也沒力氣再深究這場疫症與埃美克戎的關係。隨著意識放棄思考而逐漸冷靜過來，當下便明確想到要先盡快跟妲羽和烏普西朗會合。
