主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V4g5bB5cj
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61MViVGbA4
「……。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8JTxvYeQv
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HhMhG22gV
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjaFBF5hBz
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWoATDj99k

「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmYkt31Q20
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9134m6gxs
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PKU26svlc
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DpY54WJXA
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC78tydWaSl
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqpv2ncG62
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYAHClsttB
「你是第一次參加？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdREyd1bjV
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1shC57vns
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKmb8SXB7D
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jFzaYNjZE
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIA5WsgEX
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKstxRlPUWh
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Ac5kagvo
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg8l6AFYhB
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxDBNK2FOU
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtja4ncvnys
「今年又為什麼來？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEbEPce7MQ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEI6mywRRx
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3a2MJAZCE
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDCTRalRR
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46B9JaU3a
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yMUCRWkuN
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVOk1pNuKs
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCloOlhbu8
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3YUNdHeOZ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnu3lD2v4b
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDw8avjVk3
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXBplzX6Fj
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyRPdHnIXD
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYrFr2GiVe
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWMvPiwWYO
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd1cRfZSCq
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXfbfo0gIS
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKyg21kLmd
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj6v90pzK5
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhOP7bEzo
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0axwc0nwa
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHqhv5M2Re
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fleCv5vmS
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexgMClTW9T
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBADMi3VMG
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUpsSIdjg1
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPr5r5It5Y
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpgHoWtGZB
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJT1zjwsuQ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmef2lxhS3I
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV7CCcrXaK
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qMUmlS070
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaFbgnr36H
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXvEAnrZP1
「妳……！」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEagPLCB3Be
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFnMOAyVcl
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVMMhcqA4
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCTkJqpZ6N
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRXrE6ME3t
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKxsg20nWH
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAlfeOvWxB
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtx4zIBIvN
「你知道？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D1rrmZGh1
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZCOXDv8sd
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAHx5KG3FK
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbv6oO79Gm
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjtZ016gXG
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MGnBekvI
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRViXUVWM
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcT96Li2mN
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnJI9u295T
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOV6vfkl9C
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDAudOQuAy
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou0ylrRg3m
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3vb7Fiy9i
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y3qks1Apc
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2sf0yLMMN
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzjIyrvN2r
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7eLEtmSEu
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ma281wSWc
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRlYWv3wa8
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgSl8opRkx
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQC2HTldLr
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntmWJJi6w2
「時…時尚？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYsvrm1sXe
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURdQkE5D7s
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2fCPDKkx
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTnISiKweq
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYgsuc4YsS
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN424cwqLUw
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ojNOh7r0o
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhsGbtF8UX
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT2LNksSlh
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAXNNszyXI
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN5XcqbYix
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ7NDqEFFu
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3P3HkSfIp
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZGd8XXMUY
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJA0iOJ98g
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dnf3AZ9nY
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdts57lSkj
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlXHgSC8oM
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9cnD6l0Fj
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeuqhtiOGk
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1flLgFvgyi
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLlNN2o3rT
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQQjcAHOx
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6HsxI2KyY
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSncHCDx9ZI
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWeysr0AeY
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0Dn6MGfn
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv8lSM1eMI
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MkOpsRmVf
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOBpMI6RGY
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYauyhKJrA
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC6z12Rsr3
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAPjhgd2Xm
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAFdsrq2gY
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvcIIctk5
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CoEqaSqDi
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBR9f8CqY
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN3iMmTnHU
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJfpTlVUL5
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbUrSrHM5Z
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh2VHpaGqh
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU6xEXBpXF
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7GBO8j2wc
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelSpHAp1Fa
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiSJ3uHlp
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtUFDkUvVG
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4brsHpczxU
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH6DaFzyg5
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD80jx2PqSH
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz9iTaDz4L
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlWUxE7I0w
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0J8XKKNg
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOmxgDniY
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ1JzoRQqT
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHAzdya1hM
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fuy1UNGaq
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡierQx2uHR2
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6MnU2oSvn
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbg09lOJQp
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHaZtFTLEw
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkpyx5U7BQ
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcU7F1m4Br
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YB8XlNGmU
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oI1BIeNOd
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zl8GdPf7U
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcR6ZZwNdq
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUWeUaf1DO
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djnwNJK6N
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTVx8hewLi
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkmlzjAC5H
「……。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjhgP54I3
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsC0M0hrd4
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI0Oj7zPAV
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSzMPm1crf
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWaclELXyR
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBKUcUCvM
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBPbMy5hfS
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCKJjD1qc2
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m0mjQlI5s
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGKXuyho5P
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKcGMJp7ca
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkjXIKkjnw
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzrridg7f7
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSgUtQIH9X
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82KPhYpjv
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMxLeAy6e9
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection748ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4vlEOJ21 維尼
