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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1UyMxu3Z4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRlkXTfPr
不會回來了吧？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFa6vkiQuH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bq7Nl7SIt
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgeUG1s4nF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPcew83yNM
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI40WYdT92p
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSo8vg7IS2
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNrCMfHe2e
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75q2RLXmY2
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxApxo0JuM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgbAXteHDS
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1mbl4k7Zk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunco0NVgbs
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiaTqW1zw6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4azYvRm8QZ
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc7Oh8sZsg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwn6mvRwHN
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jjWq4pgMP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfzpAeD3vp
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd6vbA9oaj

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hS3adjpwY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUT5n9Ar5B
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMBFhrqf4t
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54MZDeEFAW
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtpY7ehtT
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKJU7YJrj6
「我不要當祭品。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPizXCDGBJQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjuQs8JZgI
嗯？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXOp7yOpcC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9RJapP2qW
「我也不要。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iAqHvue6D
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk8fngDrvr
不是用動物嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXXFuxs1wQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXY1CUuxxH
「丁呢？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdH01bacnx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2veuhAYZKd
！53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUFrhJ9okJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi92hNU60CG
「對了，還有丁吶。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLibTP4Fw6D
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wEsFkreGs
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkESQwYwXA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXFkwMUeaM
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？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56RJwCzotD
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXyJBnUJXO
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATteHv3Hs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd9eHvh8ZF
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHIqSgvsZk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jPiQ4toc
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkHqzLZDQU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdqkeCPaE3
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhouvU6FD6J
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldiNwmm5LW
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJxTq0tQt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZrypoOdep
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIkgv9CAco
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5OxXjMeGn
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwVu69wp4E
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfZiGFbDC
感謝你小時候的照顧。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxUSEyVnbp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wE4Rd4lYs
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzG7RooH3l
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X6HehMCet
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqwxJ3tpoR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz2Dv83DlC
我，一直都......53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTieGlhj7I
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeDxl2BJ7W
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNr71DIkOI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMslkLxntWg
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlxzVZw2lO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3p1EzfpAW
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKkZOyVQ1s
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgtHMsv1L
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDyceZVSW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxz9MPel8f
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8DtXpQvy6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfpQrk1n3
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlioBOoWM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrznK2lmXQ8
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBcvxEZlFs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdWzUEVAYp
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpOpk06o4k
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IK7Xcd2Pw
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBIhSzUdIP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfokVeIlaX
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……53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f0GwvsiRU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTG584ApM3
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmEHHLPtI7
「丁，你起床了嗎？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQISPMUnHj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqcj3wSYh
「……是。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klcHCGizd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGE0RLGG2p
「我們有些話想跟你說。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bIvdUNbJn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8RWeWPrt
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjTE5IceSC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHiBuqwWRQ
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBacyXH7j0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAZ8a1PSI
「我願意。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCMLlPFbDM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL1IQwthxU
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvulVq3EWa
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAJtg1BFoN
「換上這個。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Ts6inIN9
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJiBh0P1hk
「戴上這個。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQKF6c9wIH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiupLJlRMx
「還有這個。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao01PXA0fI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVRIRmMr1p
「喂，把那個拿來。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hf3jxtt4D
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43ISjCMQo
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrXVmKWX0r
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydaaIllolA
「不要恨我啊，丁。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9rAXQcaja
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBLWY9l3T7
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8XVmE2GRP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGWAURM2sP
「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。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVlNsqR8XK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fbhKjOhN7
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYEM1GROCx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDc8R4xriv
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxzug3rc8k
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT9qplDPLu
「…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……」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWc5Q4ddoQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9aWczilj
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCB05b4zJv
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y4CapibZF
「永別了，請多保重。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLReTPPFgL0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrli06fKRG
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU5rSGvEdg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzprefBgZ9v
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbLJbLlD5T
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmT6z5RKJR
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？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdQvM5AoUR
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7TADaY2VD
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0THGh8PBHV
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4CzvugrIy
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKfN4TvTX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl12oVE5NS
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJthF2GNB9B
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKlOQgT0B
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwdIRy7NTP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05pdWdRuP2
再也，見不到面了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcTZaz5n2e
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7UWWvpmpE
永遠。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel5epy6sD4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNaE1Yb1b
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZftF7Z7H
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00xHfRf8dW
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FKmrzj2l
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFGOjmiMiD
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLkXAF7w6N
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOO3ZDkQ1u
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5FoGddyIH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTDx0QkF6t
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。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuah3YzEj4B
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjppIU4PKD
是鬼喔。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT8lvLUeiM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0okF1W2ial
腦海裡有個聲音說著。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2eWTfxVh1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vz9mmfbP8
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8S5fEmiz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkAf7YlHei
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCboIqKWv
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Opio4HgM
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXjR6W9qiI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJAOVqbnz
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa2aWCx41m
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnIK1Ub8w
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6FlO4Hd9j
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpG6XLRnYh
然後離開祭壇。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmpKdQtXrY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGIVaLzNB
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDcstyhDRu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTGwEumAhf
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno92xP6R3B
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwAukZvZ1
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeatgpqgQ4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe5rUSd0mN
因為，我已經不是人了。
