氣得累了，也就不想再過問他人的信仰問題，懷裡的孩子也好，自己的脾性也罷，對姑方來說，自己會選擇在戰亂時來到歐洲也不過是個「順便」而已。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpBekU1jbK
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqalfG5FAz
要把這「順便」妄想成含有深意的舉止也好，當作他的任性也好……那些都是人類該要有的機能，弱小的生命各個負擔著一具靈魂的運行，脆弱的需要愛意滋養才能維持在一定的頻率上運轉，啊哈，這麼艱深的事情就不多說了。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64kN5BTAEU

「『Elysium，為有心之人而生的樂園』……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGaheNyJWc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0XWNtmcNq
在終將傾斜的輪軸上，姑方將他意外發現的「門票」上避之不見的一串字符朗讀出來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXQfWiQeeO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B3ZM2JKv9
頓時，詭秘的黑霧自姑方周圍的地面湧出，自他的肌膚邊緣撫過之後，率先擁在了拔舍巴的腰際。有心者的樂園，那是「梅花」眼裡獨有的文字脈絡，明顯是「一票一人」的活動方式也讓他伸手挽住拔舍巴的腰際。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPdjiW5xtX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4OMfipeRp
在拔舍巴的腰上為手指注入靈力，「梅花」劃了個不知道能不能通用的手勢。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF3UyVrENH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l7UXbl8lV
「有心者」的意義實在太過廣泛，無力的姑方沒有思考太多，不過，即便他眼前迷濛，仍是看見那黑霧短短一瞬的僵持。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCyFXUMPQ4
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8pdl3aGNk
他是跟我一起的。「祂」得給這個鬼東西傳達如此意義。「祢們」是怎麼算的我並不清楚，但我不能把他放在這裡。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20cfNEuWIz
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Bd7t5b0z
像是聽見「梅花」的要求似地，黑霧裹了上來，這是允諾了兩人同行的要求了，是嗎？被拔舍巴反向侵犯的「梅花」對著黑霧的縫隙一望，彼方細語的人群果然慌張起來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZDfcqNSO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLR4alC1AR
看這黑霧，似是要包裹他一身凌亂的衣裳，也似是在向外生長一般。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLXawk48g9

在下墜中，拔舍巴的耳邊傳來陌生的呢喃。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6YRLEwEdW
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBgGIgzHnR
聽上去不像那個「賓客」的聲音，更不像他在那白晝夢囈裡見到的身影，更像是某種混合後的音色、混了許多模樣……和會晤、任務與獵殺任務中見到的罪人與市民都不是一個樣子，把最純淨的樣子虛掩在所有汙泥下方封印……他是下意識說了什麼對方才如此回應，是嗎？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWbXs9WgV
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPyVcDG0VS
拔舍巴想起他無意間的請託：「請帶我走。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl8xeNex2m
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuhvvU2JZa
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDsINUYd8
是從何時開始的？下墜中，拔舍巴憶起了伴他度過日夜的深夢。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmW3LGUOnr
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd5s4JMy70
夢裡一片寂靜，與教堂裡的環境相似，但沒有侍者、主教與任務存在，他的身軀並不疼痛，只是在這安寧中伸出掌心，輕捧那些圍繞在他身旁的幽火，一開始，他本以為自己會對這景象感到恍惚與困惑，與日俱增的懷念卻讓他了解了絲絲悲哀與落寞。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM1HnkXq0s
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvbJC5wJ0C
帶我走。他真的這麼想過？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlB6lm5BnY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0itmfkBE
帶我走、帶我走……愈是入夢，拔舍巴就愈是牽掛夢中那熟悉的場所，明明腦內依舊有主教下達的命令，他還是想念那種感受，或許他早已有這份想法了，卻無人得以訴說。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvqzWEz4uN
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24PG7H2xGI
我會帶你走。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZdnf6cVc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YNQEUPvD7
所以，他從未想過有人會這麼回應他的話語，一身創傷與腹部血肉模糊的傷口像極了鳥兒折翼後底下駭人的血肉，折磨身軀的灼熱不在，反之又是這伴他許久的痛楚再次襲來，撕裂肉體的燒灼感與聖棺中初生的哀號又一次響徹，讓他像是被刀尖戳破皮囊的祭品那樣無助，任鮮血汩汩流出。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8rl3DH8Hz
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzzGMZsff2
他同時也像是從血池裡出生的生命。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL0x8X1EdG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJ47NlWSo
一座鈷藍血池是孕育他的子宮，臍帶則是人們的禱告與歌詠，一切所望讓他在眾所矚目的祈禱下出生，看似備受恩寵，實則簡陋不堪，千瘡百孔……此時此刻，熱血還在奔流，扯著身軀，使力想要睜開雙眼的拔舍巴卻感覺到後腦勺傳來阻力。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AfhbbT7rw

「別動。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLaEDHVOD4

是那個人的掌心。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjO18dtFfG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITyXjA7Dpd
他將他按在懷裡，掌心安穩地撫著他的髮絲，似是母親、也是父親，不過，不明白父母意義的拔舍巴覺得那更像是溫暖的草地，興許他在那蒼藍色的夢裡往門外走幾步，腳下就會是這種氣息了。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxSr9hBKGG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrCO2iPcE
那是有別於幽冥的，滿是生機的大地。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT2prvSmJr

吱呀、吱呀，那是漆黑的迷霧裡頭傳出的，木槳的聲音。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztLR5iVMYY
抬眸一望，他們似是在下墜中搭到了一艘渡船上頭，船夫身披覆面的斗篷，面孔模糊地難以辨析。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk01GDHppJE
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXe3o6Q846
能說那面孔既是野豬白皙的獠牙，也是無面者難以道盡的愛意──在明白狀況以前，已經醒來的拔舍巴卻被身下的姑方一把抱了回去。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORdPxJkEWI

「唔。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxooOFAIR1I

臉被迫撞在這片單薄的胸襟上頭。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwbT5bAusf

所幸是他也很單薄，沒有讓這撞擊弄傷他們任何一方。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFwetGs8c7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP30OnjM8X8
傷口……對了，有傷口。伴隨意識清醒，身下的灼燒感便讓貼在姑方胸前的拔舍巴皺緊眉頭。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5STLgvip0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwnsDJESaT
視野被受限在胸襟前的拔舍巴僅靠鼻尖就能嗅到他們之間的血氣，一縷花朵淡香難掩這人血氣的芬芳，發生了什麼？思緒還沒銜接上來搞清楚狀況，就見在他底下的姑方往引渡人的方向瞪了過去──這是個出乎意料的插曲。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa4jE5Z8oY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0Gpfs8gJ
「……這裡就是『樂園』？真沒想到那團黑霧居然能交涉，到處聞起來都是死氣（死亡氣息），要是『真品』在哪個鼻子過敏的族類上豈不是進樂園前就先被燻死了？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xxcwd8uGN
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiLbY58un4
他居然在對那個船夫……飆罵？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOOh0ofAar

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9eg51us5
有別於方才恢復意識後的沉默與語調，這位「賓客」的聲音聽上去又變了許多，變得像人，聽著更像是拔舍巴在搭馬車出行時見到的那些市民，他們聒噪不堪，說著他無法感同身受的話語……這是，怎麼回事？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyNWvojaxS

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdh8rLienQ
備好的話語和作用於「引渡」上的術式都倏忽地在此刻被姑方的話匣子打斷，論姑方這第一句抱怨如何：對靈力／魔力預先有涉略的族類要怎麼應對？「樂園」當然也有算在其中，可這般一上來就給人一頓罵的還真是難有。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTW2B6GF3i
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNyw1Fcn9o
說「黑霧」吧、「交涉」吧，拔舍巴也在對這位躺著飆罵的「賓客」愣神。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqxu3KNS8

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9v0ubfT6a
雖說這裡無人知曉姑方的嘴囉嗦的程度從何而來，不過，那姑方還是「梅花」的日子裡，能阻止他話匣子大開的人可是五個指頭算得出來。這裡已經沒人能阻止他抱怨了，這句句罵聲在引渡人身纏的魔力面前可更是細緻，字句的力量都專為抱怨而來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLfpxeI6I
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WeiiXd3an
像是做買賣的，大多數人都是付錢、取貨，俐落地結束他們的購物再往下一個目標而去，卻總有些人能在老闆面前說上個三、四小時，說他個天南地北，嘮叨到一個晴天霹靂的極限，囉嗦到要甚至拿錢出來給老闆「要老闆陪聊」那般荒唐。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbxOUCP60f
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsQ2a82hem
感覺到一陣陣魔力（靈力）從賓客的口中溢出，忍不住把眼睛睜圓的拔舍巴覺得自己的嘴角竟產生了一種陌生無比的抽搐……愈想忍住，身體就愈是不聽使喚地打顫，這人的嘴一開就彷彿拿著火把的暴民那樣蠻橫140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViTuv7WjAU

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76KffO4Wd
欲開口的拔舍巴張開掌心才要往胸口輕拍，頂著咬傷，面色蒼白的姑方就異常「亢奮」地低頭過來摸了摸他的腦袋。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1H11diCOP

「我撿到它的時候，它突破我的結界讓我現形了，力量的密度之高，高到我都想說做這張票的人是哪裡有病，怎麼把這麼容易吸收力量的東西放到人間？說『人間』（humanitas）你聽得懂嗎？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxUFRMUDBa

渡船仍在行駛，木槳的聲響卻被姑方的罵聲給蓋去，那原先清晰的聲響下方，引渡人本就模糊的聲音更是模糊了，想要抬頭的拔舍巴眼裡也被捂得只能看見這位賓客別緻的面龐……和他憤怒又囉嗦的下巴。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZe1YkSKz

坐在渡船之上，右邊是引渡人，左邊是拔舍巴，摸著臉頰的姑方莫名其妙地從引渡人的面孔裡看見了不合時宜的感謝之情，臉頰被咬這一口雖然是沒到見血，夾在這兩個沉默者中間的姑方還是吐了幾聲怨言。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaazAosm4lY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS7E3bJELu

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM5pE8jFkx
「我跟引渡人，不是同夥……」以為自己要耳鳴的拔舍巴先是開口，拖行而出的鮮血與滲入木頭縫隙的污漬敵不過發話權的魅力。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6maL31Dnc

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84NJ4r0Y3H
而引渡人也不是沉默寡言的類型，發話權竟是如此迷人的東西，預定好的宣示受到了來客聒噪的性格影響，似是變相地承認了「引渡人可以被觸碰，也可以參與交談」的他，開場白也說得慢了一些。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRwDOwIO8l
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsIzXNRjnZ
聽他開口，姑方揉了揉被咬疼的臉蛋，又伸手揉了揉自己還在滲血的頸脖，聽到耳邊拔舍巴那流利的拉丁語，扁了扁嘴的他氣憤地回了引渡人一句。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzba08EwI4

不知何時出現在外袍裡的紙張，還有不知為何被咬了還能如此聒噪的賓客……當他們終於起了身，面對面，耳邊仍是一頓聒噪連音的拔舍巴頓時不知該如何開口。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcX5KL8KFD

然而，記得自己在恍惚中的犯行讓拔舍巴覺得自己要正常開口也是樁難事，他發生了什麼？只知道自己在浴池裡倒下，濕了身，見到「那片景象」以後便渾身發熱……姑方一身袍子，完整的部分不超過三分，拔舍巴的記憶也在那裸露的肌膚間一點一點恢復。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEWLUd8vm8
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJRjEkmGfF
看著裂開的外袍與底下的襯衣，想起那衣服是他親手撕開的，裸露的鎖骨與上頭清晰的咬痕更是新鮮得不行，那外袍看上去是棉製的，很厚實，損傷不重，裡頭的襯衣卻破得能見到梅花單薄的胸膛──向來都在用法術動手的「聖處子」沒想過自己會單單撕毀別人的衣物。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz19Zyrj8A

聽到姑方輕佻的語氣與直接到似是下一刻就會詆毀「啟示九夜」的時候，手裡抓著自己外袍的拔舍巴也皺著眉頭開口了，教團沒有「欺負」，教團給予他的……是「任務」。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXBU95gg1D
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKAAeJyPbK
是使命。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z2JBlz8Va
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TIQeBVfPF
「他們沒有『欺負』我。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTAfPVj0l
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGrxKwtQpq
「我是拔舍巴（Bathsheba）……沒有姓氏。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oyHpEYWL5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSQjCc9FZ
更是他存在於此的「職責」。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1acmBAoAl7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnDIyKQjKd
像是沒料到他會這麼回答似地，還沒思考這副軀體完好程度的他聽著那「沒有欺負」著實有些刺耳，沒有欺負？原來當事人是這麼想的嗎？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0mymf9tS6
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI4Nxn4NVx
泛著淡粉碎光的眼眸瞠目結舌，那一瞬過於清晰的情緒對上拔舍巴眼裡的森冷時他就能感覺到拔舍巴的認真，話匣子一關，複雜的情感便以漲潮之勢向他湧來，四周的水仙香氣便隨風淌來，成了站於拔舍巴一方的陪襯。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBP9T8sGJE
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWcXqNORPd
「………………」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayyBAaS6ZD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMix1ndvmBH
這話匣子一關，重拾發話權的拔舍巴就有空隙拉著外袍凝視這人了，見姑方沉默下來的樣子，一直都待在「啟示九夜」的他讀不清這個表情的意思。「表情」只是拖延義務的冗贅，面貌露出與否並不要緊。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa0OXsFoV2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCeKhSEDEh
不管姑方複雜的表情如何了，拔舍巴抬頭朝他的正事而去，才想見見引渡人的面貌，禁聲的「引渡人」就對他倆背過了身，那面孔長得如何從背影是難以判別的，不過，覆面斗篷的樣貌還是與教團裡的人們有些神似。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZukUuiqgaR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhQbLaPDS
他的視線又落回姑方吃驚又複雜的神情之上。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRABYDjI209
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwWEFraA2F
姑方頸脖上的傷口還汩汩滲著鮮血。還不等拔舍巴繼續對話，姑方就又是開口。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuedfP0Gjo
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TATDSJ3oE
「『……真的，是這樣認為的？你……認為自己該是這個樣子……？』」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEaKClPb1y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV2WOgN68P
這次「祂」的聲音聽起來就不是那麼像人了──一股異音從姑方的喉頭傳出。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrw23wzIKS
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQXKU1pVw
「我現在不回答這個問題，之後再給你答覆。」下意識撫上耳朵的拔舍巴愣是對這個聽來有些奇怪的「聲音」蹙眉，眼前人給的印象讓他難免有些緊繃，「……你的傷口還在流血，之後……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTMpjgBCSp
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqyYF7REBZ
「……你？！……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQMBLYFKY

你居然讀得懂嗎？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBzw8Xj7eQ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX7puoIdSj
沒想到這種「異族的言靈」能被這個「拔舍巴」讀出來，姑方深吸一口氣，對拔舍巴撇開了視線，又將語言恢復為這個地區使用的拉丁語。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJW6jJhhL
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDA7Wqdlc0
「之後再說，之後我們可有很多話能說，至於這血……不要緊，我自己治得好。而且這裡還有第三者在，先搞清楚狀況吧。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcamJmMQik

達成共識，知悉環境，無論這「樂園」在回應願望之餘，會要求「參加者」做些什麼──140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQUITvpzJu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOch20KivI
「看來，兩位終於達成共識了。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFPq01Azpu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPToCx4030f
「顯然兩位知道初步明白了此地之名，這裡是『樂園』，願望與慾望的歸所，心念想望之人得以在此滿足所有，只是，這座『樂園』依然有著必須遵守的『守則』──守則與『罰則』共存，毒酒與美酒各司其職。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbdqI7ngdX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Z3W91Hoa
黑霧延展，如門扉敞開，水仙不在，而「樂園」到來，死亡不在，而生機盎然！一到岸邊，一座森林與不遠處顯眼的石像便出現在兩人眼前。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V7vZP0pTh
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDst9vEwxoV
引渡人先是上岸，他敞開的雙手纖細如世上最美的仙女。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ESX52fqb

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMMUrSYthU
引渡人先是上岸──他語中那不明所以的笑意雜亂無章，像是值得來客一縷思念的故我。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCSABmvc5y

他轉過身來，拿出手冊；牠轉過身來，叼來規則；他依稀的面貌正式讓所謂「非人族類」感到警戒，卻不得不聽取引渡人必要的進言。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVb4WHndEM

眼前的景色在兩人眼前延展、伸縮，免去了讓受傷的參加者步行的煩惱，他們可不能讓尊貴的參加者滴著一路鮮血到往神的面前啊──接著，引渡人便將姑方與拔舍巴領到了三尊純白的神像面前。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ7IuFd9ST

認真的來了。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ959mT9KTBl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIZjQCLjTr
這裡是「樂園」的開幕，而開場白就是循著「能實現一切願望」的傳說而成──面對要他們選擇神像，獻上供品的引渡人，本能告訴姑方：這裡不能再開口罵人了。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6teBRRpmGN
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzFr5qK0RD
越過那些死人氣息，春季沃土的氣味這才清晰地來到鼻尖，本就對這個「門票」有所質疑的姑方其實並未設想過自己的慾念。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmARp7CvxxT
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBllVZillt4
他覺得自己沒有願望，更是沒有理由待在這裡──或許那些認為自己無願無慾的常人都會這麼想，是吧？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDs1L2CO1u
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kcWXzvDs5
不過，打自一開始就在義憤填膺地發火的姑方還是免不了在拔舍巴的發言前心裡崩潰。為什麼能這麼冷靜，為什麼要把事情搞成這樣？姑方向來就是這種人，即使他知道事情演變至此並無具體原因，他的情緒還是大到能讓他在凜冬裡開花。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhEibwZZzG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGYvh3dh3q
要俗一點說，他其實罵得也是他的心裡話，如此荒唐的「樂園」不知是誰人創造，人要背離人道就算了，是何等生命竟如此公然地背離生命之道？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1GFTeMakv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZvquQOg7q
他絕對會跟這個樂園的創造者有仇。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sAsrrHtbE
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOHpKEcyfJ
那是姑方所知的「法則」，也是姑方一路看過來的循環，那循環才不是這麼可以任誰恣意去轉變的東西……好吧，縱使這時有個比他功力高深的傢伙出來指責他說他錯誤也好，他就是看不慣。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqfLMnCnG2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRokHDIvZx
看不慣之餘，意外闖入的教團裡出來的「出問題的生命（孩子）」還給了他這般答案。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9sARUbCUR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC82VEYtJP
說自己沒有被欺負，彷彿自己是心甘情願待在那兒被切得滿身是傷，然後一肚子壞水撲了過來還想為別的壞人爭辯說「他們沒有錯」……側過頭，他看著一旁沉默的拔舍巴，即使他們是被引渡人傳送過來的，拔舍巴腿間溢出的血流也往下匯聚成小小的血泊。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA2ClXaFlJ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14L1J8gOa8
這不是人類鮮血的顏色。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaABsUsWPP

……而他從碰觸就知道了，這絕對是那種反覆撕裂的舊傷，閹割的傷口在前端裂開，後頭也很脆弱，最嚴重的陰穴則大大影響了拔舍巴的行動能力。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zgndcDm6y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrndUnp6yYz
都到這地步了還不怪罪任何人嗎？一瞬的驚訝讓他露出「梅花」之相，還讓他憋不住自己該要限制的靈力……噢，縱然他沒有細說，這時也該意識到他不是人了，他才不在乎別人的眼光，卻會因為眼前那孩子過於讓他意外的「眼光」而百般驚詫。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKMGKV3Q6w
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rKW1wUr4
──甚是讓人心痛。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGtLxcCTUY

躺在懷裡的手冊是羊皮製的，厚實的羊皮包整齊地裹著一疊羊皮紙，而一同與他下船，踉蹌地被引渡人傳送到這兒的拔舍巴手裡的手冊也與他相似。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB6exJb2Q7

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawMQgtlTs
他們是「樂園的參加者」……而現在的他們若要進入樂園，就必須從這三樣選擇裡擇一。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGXWtRSIhr
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcXOO8eQXa
血肉或貴重之物、景仰或愛、鮮花或蔬果──我獻你個狗屁，誰要輕易就獻啊？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ns0ZDxqM
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAAfkTF7rC
一時之間，率先想要判斷神像被施了什麼「魔法」的姑方被干擾的反而自個兒虛弱起來。他的力氣只夠扶著身旁的拔舍巴了，靈力……這鬼地方在限制他的力量嗎？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SziO3LKby
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkqbpZu7Jt
「……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUW328d8ce
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgEwGdTQam
他知道自己身邊這人身上有多麼駭人的傷，即使被引渡人這樣要求，反射性將身邊人當作同伴的姑方還是對「達成願望」、「歸處」這些詞的意涵有所警戒，在鯤島時就擅用言靈的「梅花」，對上漆黑中，眼瞼泛著鈷藍的「聖處子」……就近一看才發現，這孩子除了鮮血以外，眼瞼也有幾分異樣的藍。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21yUFYULGm
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQ17dxPam
「……拔舍巴，噢，雖然我們初見，但『願望』這種模糊事，先別……」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbeK95TKUj
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCirt0e6Qo
說到這地步來，他就得面對自己辨不清拔舍巴血液的事實了，僅能感覺到這年輕之子血液中無可動搖的純淨，還有藏在胸中那魂火的異樣感，一種，被「人」給強行塑出的違和……啊啊，那些什麼「啟示九夜」的傢伙們都沒這麼想過？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTEzOn3OxY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGvkXGyIx0

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16wACdTHp
還沒等他整理好思緒開口，皺著眉，稍微直起身的拔舍巴便搭著姑方的手，向引渡人回應自己的選擇。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAnVnYePR8
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305rsOx6cY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXAKHweimt
──噢，以如此貴重之物供奉嗎？140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiRVVC8JHu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxM53JzIF9
──那樣的話，就請您到這位尊神面前，看看他的座椅，端詳他身旁那柄利劍。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5hGprteR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxFBVNNsYA
──別因為祂雙眼的缺損就背過眼去，那正是祂得以給予物質與一切難以完滿願望容身之處的表徵，向祂獻上您要給予的貴重之物吧，樂園便會欣然回應你的想望。 140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswYeKlwYE

見到這樂園那精巧的魔法在眼前展開，引渡人笑著回應了拔舍巴。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNbkKgZPtv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMCtLDIp2
同時，一柄沉甸甸的匕首也倏忽出現在拔舍巴的手中，他安然接下匕首的動作沒有絲毫失誤，拔舍巴一手倚著姑方，一手則仔細端詳起匕首的紋路。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMVkoMybA
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dgnsf4sOB
被這景象刺痛的姑方眉頭深鎖，轉瞬之間，這孩子的身影竟是如此遙遠，明明就在身旁，想要伸手打下匕首的姑方卻覺得有一股力量鎖住了他的身軀，動彈不得。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX0Iw8OK7W
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9IOUFh18f
該死……他被鎖住了，又是這種感覺……跟祂成形時一樣的感覺……140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfd2O1Tk6D
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1cmoqoNvT
確實，與拔舍巴素不相識的他也好，「祂」也好，都無權以一個異鄉人的身分阻止另一個異鄉之人的選擇。權貴再如何貪腐暴虐，人心思想從來都不是能輕易掌控之事。那是「梅花」的毛病，也是「梅花」厭棄職責的原因之一──體內的職責與見證者的雙眼正在改變「原本的他」應有的歡快與奔放。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWEEXGzYCl

或許有微小的猶豫吧，可是，決定獻上眼珠的他動手仍像是處決罪人那般俐落，單單想著要進入「樂園」的他只是把這當作手段而已──他沒有對姑方如此說明的空隙，也體會不到姑方對此的在意。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy197B5M1g
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNBZYW003B
願望、慾念？那些事情有很重要嗎？視野模糊之中，身上給治療師處理過的傷口裡頭依然滲著一股讓他不適的酒氣，您看見了什麼？耳邊彷彿又響起了主教的聲音，可是，他什麼也沒想過……他什麼也沒見到，就因為他還沒辦法給出答案，只能先以行動相抵。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLBjAGUu8

四周風流一起，一股熟悉的衝動促使他回眸望向那位嘮叨的「非人」──他不久前才剛經歷這種感覺，當下的他一見到姑方就衝動地將對方當作同伴，撲了上去。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3uSOEWPUh

臉上的表情不再是待在船上時怨憤嘮叨的模樣，嗓音更是離人遙遠至極，百感洶湧，如同一片花海徹底被風暴刮落，在那之間露出的則是「梅花」悲慟的面容。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF21y984GL

僅只一瞬，卻是無比深刻的一瞬，在姑方身上顯現的「梅花」之影赤著雙足，身披絲衣，髮絲在他伸出手，凝聚出自己枝枒的剎那也隨風揚起，顯現了遙遠鯤島那應當在此刻茂盛的梅花花海。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFSYx21QrO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Jdydm7jZ
花香溫柔，而他的面龐竟在悲憤間痛斥起樂園的神明，彷彿這份「贈與」是他身為梅君最後堅持的尊嚴──用上祂遙遠的真貌嘲諷這毫無意義的獻祭。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ6LilpI6U
