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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXN8VTWhfa
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkS3CbGWAF
不會回來了吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpfmmyllWS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ZFEQ0C9P
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj84l51ij4N
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqsA14Bo0
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqjPPyk7Yr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7BToDb4Bv
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYC0L6nnVQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgcSeUuJBl
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9a4oq97S9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEq5wbpGU9
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHjCc9QkJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeUhwJECkQ
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uGOFoOn1U
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHKmuYx3W
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9pcwBp1SD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnBZEc4PN
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPbolI1oPC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoiofYb0e1
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8m2K1ZrLR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSlqX9wX1f
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOKEr6oBMK
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGvxrOWOFO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ2BbP5GCz
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPUzojHfgN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7me0ZhtxYy
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqML7bLPZiu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yX9Cw10I
「我不要當祭品。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKk9pB0mN6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19adxNkZ4d
嗯？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeYpDeTsHR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SbYWLt3Wu
「我也不要。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJod7mwFK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcE0JQNhjE
不是用動物嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wI96MJbj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOaB9q0JG
「丁呢？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU7ZRwDlrj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XPN0ZZPTm
！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLzjKXmb7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKkCNCLaIE
「對了，還有丁吶。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO9NHH671E
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWj4kHHad
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VBC7515jL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIzi07dOTc
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH40BukQFdH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRSpdDBLhb
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa4jKKgdrH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYEcFLltfg
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWSey4NNF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9NnOQMs4n
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleDaI0sL58
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL7sugSWNh
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePuqbD2Q13
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbKHasikuE
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0GFOIljRj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMLZ0cctb
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V5DCPKgmM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF0wf9pqcc
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjI9QIORTr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAXb0DKinU
感謝你小時候的照顧。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ5PZLXFNJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsLeSj2dZn
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FuVH7k2cF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxM5OYpcqu
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMXRaz6rO7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXbSRkPSaV
我，一直都......47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5meezz3DLK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5QzCLlCso
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ559vQljPnY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SFgmg5SDH
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliFyrejp76
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM43xGWtEm
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dIwgVjIxg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvKmrmQxlS
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlyiNtH4TW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjefpdRWku
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2szmHDKvvJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoIbDmuMy
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNglnN5iEKc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABWWxgJOAA
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoc4p0w4yu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TaHsu3cxR
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ESavvADgi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPGpMNZl91
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6OWB3YDK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNCiGTunpx
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……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpFmPcLOeg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKuNKZylBv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun60fYyIQ8
「丁，你起床了嗎？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RhmCgb6ll
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTNqCGQMl7
「……是。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw3H967O71
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7AJobh2z
「我們有些話想跟你說。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL6raph1vW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjbncqQnPS
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlwTjMo9Of
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhddqnvL1gM
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyksSuNqvS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVSjrIHTQr
「我願意。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ0Vjazk3E
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1BUUk2SE
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcuEkslVsY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgFoRrOvc
「換上這個。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VfVXoInJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xr7DYCn8S
「戴上這個。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemUiDdYfbA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5UBuyiLaw
「還有這個。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg03qVC4j1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6rEa2GuGA
「喂，把那個拿來。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRo2cgq099
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscGEsSQJ56
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquYd7mO0FS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZoP9cjft
「不要恨我啊，丁。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCU5m2OyqV
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvaBSUJm4r
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRj3hGwo5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP0IDZTn3E
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGHsHWLU7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFholmjsVyF
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVWFVD8DIy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcVW1a1aM
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaXKI0tkpr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2UgW8kXvr
「…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……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TcZSgIFnW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkpVcz8New
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDBaMInqMl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntJiEKINJC
「永別了，請多保重。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLDSDpxZKM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJnjpgLU5E
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLCeqy0cXc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBdmkkbH4R
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8AcHOI7N
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLGCLOnkKC
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW97rCz1Xh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQPhCyJ9CN
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIImUafI6E
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7q5BONg6a
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm15NLsQhB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKb0inzYQs
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7StIIKCF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZeoIqGZs
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgQPEfoMUb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi74zTNjTB
再也，見不到面了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2KWdBDFnF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjcRYaW3lQ
永遠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJeSqQFHOS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkiEgFUrkL
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDjQAgSew
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoEcj5RO9L
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlTQOEAVDt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xB3lU9dsz
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2gnAZFHAp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqtazoPh46
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADNwPQ4ErO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfYHJMx8LD
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJQdhCMk5s
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMmCejD4Pa
是鬼喔。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpFvTJX6dr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2B97btOo9
腦海裡有個聲音說著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfFizUDzsI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHdfUjALHe
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQyKK8jI1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWcdRMJodb
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGvfxUZGoo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpgObseKj
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDF88lqrLG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxbjH7gcJH
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17KTgoI4qP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE4yBkmYFA
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqenYcxZi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCui0okzMI
然後離開祭壇。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvEpNwLCkh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884AKSLmuV
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Hy0OB5VX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8vwccCGUp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0wF6cReWl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdCvmBO5u8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyphCNRh9v
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQMfXz9WBG
因為，我已經不是人了。
