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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKdv92Jrjc
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxhxYmGDQU
不會回來了吧？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5LFb0idQ
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mopV1WVOa
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEzRib9SDU
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVgivnFS1
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKobgK39p8
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNy6ujZwQN
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cnvcJxsT
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYEuI4Ud56
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8PBG6x24
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZDTk5OaU
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRnv4nkRem
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFa0zvfIzX
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3RQD8t6K5
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOm9kEatE9
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztw3Uoco5U
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA9QJwTn22
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD2gvopgBf
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6imNA5eFCR
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmG68cfzy3
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZF55ruKf4
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BWTVhRGpa
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLO2GJbWH
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTVvF1Wzyf
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMe4X9BNyr
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxg4kV5Gt
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0RfBxN997
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Ulw59oxy
「我不要當祭品。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIl0CPLn3
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGso87wADBE
嗯？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVzxQQpDYk
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kpNO1pCFb
「我也不要。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahjWBwC5EK
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW6rE5Jo20
不是用動物嗎？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLowNFoK45
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXzIWBxEcp
「丁呢？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJwGZHS8l5
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdK0jas31m
！57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6QHlVSC6
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WoWcsNPz5
「對了，還有丁吶。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVoNnUjiCh
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zQo0DlU0O
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx72WkVadA
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuAbwjIcj
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？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyOqk47lC9
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAVvp8dFNj
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrihSzl2c2S
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETaQ7K76YG
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9Z4kUPSB
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87uyfMBAu
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9la1JTmjP
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFkr1dmrqk
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgUWQSdf1v
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TPVkFvi7g
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LiOrpizX
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhaBAQEQhx
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFScPPLfoqQ
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wHr9Eksgu
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSELsmao7Q
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlEhl0sjw8
感謝你小時候的照顧。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgi5zBs5hl
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxwhNSH5gX
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYLc2vqnWO
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEKnI5ofm
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqk9YoSR8d
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVF8ki76uS
我，一直都......57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1GPZq1sk
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0nlmGiBl
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1PzWlUZrl
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgUhNi8GyB
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jpIrcbI9Q
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8b8Ld8UH1
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuCL4NMDJt
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5SL37keBm
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9JPszkZIr
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4yi9416Sm
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ULlhx3Nij
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1G79HRGMQ
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrAHyQVWF2
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAMPhNeW6j
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkt1jIKkrB
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWtxtFaNpO
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQaEhxZYtw
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tpd9Arf42
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWdq3JeEDP
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtl2AG1FJk
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……57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRrlCWlpca
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVtGicMZE0
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuKjhai4wg
「丁，你起床了嗎？」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1WzySYtq
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylfINGIyrG
「……是。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5VqKSKGq4
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTpjDGcQRK
「我們有些話想跟你說。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxblX39ICHo
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHXyvOjVpu
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkd2igeTKy
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmfuxBC6ur
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9BrJRYw9
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcxDL3paUg
「我願意。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWeHrrCaDq
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9kqgJNLOz
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFC0wQ0NpH
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsSBMCC0J
「換上這個。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Z7Vacv7A
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6K16cAlP4
「戴上這個。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tk4ABcuL7
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauOPAFbeGn
「還有這個。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLwn3gzRV5
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhTAtc0zgW
「喂，把那個拿來。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPu0bdhCM1
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvt6JINjya
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MoreNwgil
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wLrVZdWE
「不要恨我啊，丁。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmFiX71fP1
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZWEFQhuiz
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGWFTp4P08
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxXOBP3ms0
「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。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn1OzjPl4o
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmUQ5uSEsp
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlciarSR70
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidv1wNV7K2
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHE9zC1j7w
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlh8TGLh86
「…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……」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1AxxNJTF7
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq10Mi48Le
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgLpRzC2ZR
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKtR4whjvz
「永別了，請多保重。」57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9p813fFw
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XfvLcHCk6
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7JSN7tlKj
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0X38Bujsr
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEWe0pRO7
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXxmi7xkWJ
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？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUa6Kdro1x
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASzYJ4fYt
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcNkr9ryAW
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyrbJXahAs
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s3b9EVjSR
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWRWAgNaS
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtkblgTlwo
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxPy95YcI
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFdE5F8C1
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnpqz7MRIo
再也，見不到面了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWQcwuSUhL
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTxq3HnnqI
永遠。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpUSi9uJx
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6bvjgPu4H
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCWlj1BOE
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnxv5hB1eC
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UYq4KryGs
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFky10NWV9h
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eWC6ga9d0
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C1ktVvZBp
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRoW1CApLz
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJM0lPc62r
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。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMszHQ6cHWB
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6URH9aR7p
是鬼喔。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDfGAHYMPj
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLa7bWUm0u
腦海裡有個聲音說著。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tuTzGyXdv
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGvqd2quJ
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVAa0N0t3
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TyZt0icsc
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRx1BZ4kEL
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0J4ZcK1x
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwgUJ8etWb
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEowZ8bWWS
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghoNRF9SIF
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Sr6ZgVn1
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu07BbDrSR
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzzcFerSnp
然後離開祭壇。57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHAp9ozDgt
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMJzY7afca
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqC9dq0cBg
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcTpusI1C6
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq10x4X0nF
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQfUIspIsf
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7GUz1k0b4
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sfNEmwKxF
因為，我已經不是人了。
