經過了幾年時間，丁開始習慣工作，習慣看別人的臉色過日子，習慣沒有白澤的日子。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHstbDYGOXx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Omu6XrPf
不會回來了吧？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy7XHeLMHu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWR6onGtu
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBLQKvHSJN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7LYspiQBD
在覺悟的那天蒙頭大哭了一夜，接下來他就怎麼也流不出淚來，投身於忙碌的工作當中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuodRJpgXY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUBjOKS0Lb
他可以在忙碌中忘了許多事，忘了他過去的名字，忘了他小時候親暱叫著的名字，忘了他曾經那樣幸福的活在另一個人的寵溺中，甚至忘了該怎麼笑。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBENLFdx0QW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQhjtFkD7c
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3y0UiGY89
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuqtyTuVki
他伸手摸上自己變得下垂的嘴角，然後在四顧無人後拿出白澤唯一遺留下的物品。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3ZzmQlRK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV1W0sRno6
黃色的金屬雕刻著他不了解的紋路，鮮紅的繩結綁成他無法理解的構造，他唯一記得的似乎只剩下如夢般朦朧的甜美回憶及這東西不能被其他人得手的念頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XMtRQiCse
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOr7INNJ6Y
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa71jw61hGe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoU8kdjfgb
或許他心底還是期待著的吧？期待那個被自己淡忘的人能夠前來迎接自己。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkoEMPaEbY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0gsTARtqz
嘲笑著自己那無謂的心情，丁將紅繩重新藏回懷中，然後繼續投身彷彿無止無盡的工作。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkHfzxWv0

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXrpj32RCR
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6CFnfJVTS
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IUlfo11XI
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8uG8x4Ef
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPpa5USTaB
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsc735X0b0
「我不要當祭品。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YjQIu2V6g
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk35pqfliJk
嗯？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwKC9SJ71o
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCowiJdqoK
「我也不要。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuaoiCVdqr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxWAGDOCTG
不是用動物嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPCpTASHNN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZR0qyOsZS
「丁呢？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tNi3NifU2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyyi8yAy2o
！49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyrAttK1cX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vn1gMqyuE
「對了，還有丁吶。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVdH7qqvJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiStrBEwxD
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR7s3xfB3k
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVSWxBPUAw
不，這個村裡的人應該不至於這麼做，頂多把我放在那裏直到餓死吧？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUK5CURtsY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXRKHWz822
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJ4sE0t0u
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nNCZ4AZwO
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MIXz1Qq4R
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhYkfkO03I
吃了他們那麼多年的飯，讓我回報這條命是無所謂，但是，只有這個絕不讓給任何人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNXjoANnqk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJjRlM9OK2
順著月光及星光，從小生長在野外的丁熟悉的行走於黑暗之間，終於在深夜走到了距離村莊不算遠卻足夠隱密的，他以前的家。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sHZ3e3you
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz4Hbi4XCy
當他以前很累很累的時候，就會偷偷跑來這裡，緬懷著已經不記得的那個人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjREXT6tDk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPkyKOSJF6
丁面無表情地想著，坐在樹洞外，手上拿著一根沒有很纖細的樹枝。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WPolhq11O
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNNdBXwh1N
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSMu3a8jll
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJate5LWu
感謝你小時候的照顧。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRW4ZFWYMj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyLyyLo65Z
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpEKMqEK6m
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCKcAwLoEK
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tDPMFgBfa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKwt1GPXcn
我，一直都......49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8o2fZivnX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKb6rrglKD
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Sr1KfaOf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEZSciWhUL
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztFAaV08C
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uf87h9OmB
想著，丁覺得眼睛有些酸澀，揉揉眼，他還是踏著步伐回到村落。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gm3k1Gc9g
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg3mZk7gPh
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeON91Z8GIU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MWkYgz1hV
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScogwOL50
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNkQaT5GJ
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0JTeUYyl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2FEKQTwRW
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGagRypMi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7NJc1EAbw
難得的度過不是一覺到天亮的夜晚，丁這夜幾乎沒睡，就算意識模糊也會立刻夢到那些充滿希望的夢境而驚醒。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfD6QPu3x1
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOd5Xq9Thx
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgb8r7bKI6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh94QB8x7tW
為了這些村民，為了這些養活自己的村民，為了這些奴役自己的村民……49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Dn7tX6Jl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJ4Vt9Qgc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynEmI0S8Dr
「丁，你起床了嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFQMVgzej3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziwUNp8osZ
「……是。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxTHEUfr3a
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ILXP9bu7
「我們有些話想跟你說。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjxJayfwpm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLdCGvavDe
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Th6bhmlC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxtPg3qUS
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJLhUPMAi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJjH7v3TG
「我願意。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnlNjqpOnQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHQc328sw1
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19mNDTEhC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5grKMO9Wv8
「換上這個。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS42h0OwxOP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3JXqrkZt
「戴上這個。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFRJ8AcJle
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCRLGgGbdZ
「還有這個。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EplLaynm7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKKCdcWg8a
「喂，把那個拿來。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYwKyUeigf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBRpTHGzpa
七手八腳地趕在夜晚前把東西弄好，丁端坐在祭壇上，依照村長的說法雙手合十，等待神明的降臨。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvphba3VHyp
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHIsjPSYR3
「不要恨我啊，丁。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJaYrWYOn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5ZwDaoSV
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgpvuWah1G
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRV5EIoOc
「沒事的，如今的時代只有這個方法可以穩定人心，我不會怨恨的。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGMkxpJ4k2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECnCo5IM7
沒有看向任何人，丁把視線放在山的某處，他猜想應該是他過去居住的地方。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHHpIf24mU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodPEXaJSWj
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOAetuge7q
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h4XnC4GQu
「…若是有黃泉這種東西，我一定要讓村裡的人嚐嚐死後被我制裁的滋味……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCGkauqYOi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp94ee4CUT
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjebupegKoB
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6T3bVyM1
「永別了，請多保重。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z5BHyM2sG
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0EK3WCn5i
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxVixejQMY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn9OZ5FtEt
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5CE0Gkoew
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouPsDt9dT3
神明長什麼樣子呢？真的會有神明嗎？真的是神明嗎？真的有神嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TtF5W6QSa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57v6Wg9yH
經過一整天的空腹洗禮，丁已經感覺不到餓意，喝了放在祭壇上的酒後便臥倒在祭壇上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4m2mFHhO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qxpo5PSX8
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gngz5cCjO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuRJX8T6C
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXgIoRpS8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdx7SwE7N2
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlE7dFGS1c
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU31lmpgEp
再也，見不到面了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvTjvrMX7C
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuNue7YTOX
永遠。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiWPtYADKP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiLvAgIV6S
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNUQcFL1Q6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpBOsYW8wY
乾澀的眼睛流出淚來，看著天上閃閃的繁星，丁又狠狠地把村子的人詛咒了一遍。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvaPy1N7Zk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGh7mz75Mh
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MSGYdd7y7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVPdgw6Iks
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqfEUfCh2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg3stRWVWr
感覺被風吹的冰冷的身體瞬間像燒起來一般灼熱，丁在瞬間以為是神明的到來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLebCegswT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGydSwacUGT
是鬼喔。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqTeh1ZNo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCm3253uvy
腦海裡有個聲音說著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7zqVKQQfg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3wXgX7g6K
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuS8ror6t8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xus7zFECo
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU2sHUktYg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HijXuR5R
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGBx6ZKvwQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJi8zd5TmK
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoGAHWVYmu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ti9Jc0sbw
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0gKa5CrJR
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulxLXYhwL
然後離開祭壇。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKW1JjjxPY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9XeKzhxW
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1wxiIGvkl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8FyrWaqbU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkDdY0JhE9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rNh355rMB
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBmYX14Qm
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74aTMwE71
因為，我已經不是人了。
