這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5i8l4kFcl
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlEE1GojdJ
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMvXrOAcBd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjOnNXYzcP
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhCqJpU7IH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ULCLuPLvi
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHdk7gPUpM
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuP93u4qa3
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegbO49uei
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5e5WtDsiB
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfijSiGvx9D

尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS37PDfrwlJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9uG9opNVS
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxMzdMtQ5b
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Vp2If0hz
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3K0D0jVvb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rGujfuJo
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGr2P09al5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORiWGcsz9
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVzGIze7Js

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡein7M6yOP0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHDh5BkWHr
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow1guQUabp
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p65613OiR
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZHI91x0v
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcrTkHkbGw
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYCtcqtHLT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7BqW3tTs
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCyLZBnUtC
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWF7C6hy03
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDylchnc8v
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CHX0ukpvU
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6B04pdCQv
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZSTDKBB13
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U5OxOE23j
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdX7N1SsZ8
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbI3m53Nru
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC1BQMNRdn
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21LGiqvniP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxJbPN8Cb
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocOwDQJj6M
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaF2SYUG3u
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrK27X339X
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg8Fv0aM6V
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zWu9upFtt
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9u2kLg3ob
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGhRcHoQGX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMaAIzJGc
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemyRA3yjlO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5idc2p8F
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jHULMJWgR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXutuQGCmZ
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZzyqhxfQ3
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX2bc12x91
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUmyJEkHqx
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDH4BPdIm
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnyFLLJxl
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb9qSNaYl5
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hv42VxMe6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUR2uR26E8
「唔嗚！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tx9feYwUg
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYZTRqx66
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4DzrCpZ91
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9wKGkETC
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOnaVV4ox
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnu2L13fsa
「依奴！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZUSTLp5s
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCriZMcbjaT
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZ1FjrGSn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GV9g4p8mc
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nuOAkW2s1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa8O3qtCtI
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtSodV0nVd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5zWXuTDJ
「依奴──」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoYLN9Bcc
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEg0ztZp5g
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ3KnICP8G
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg2b9iBTGZ
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bEqb5DazO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SOnKkDrJt
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAwV5kkwFu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5frU4EcNQ
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqpbm6B6UG
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnsdtt3zmJ
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9caPrbQB71
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg0iY0APpY
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5j02flKnd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjPsUXXk9c
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0uSMG5AQ9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sIykQ6fMG
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Qo3pzLFR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmF7DFLXu
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCjc9CFeou
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jjMc4COMc
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG7V80UxpJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLzWgmvzoN
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVNfg8vg5u
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ082hCq9cxZ
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkFKnoJYB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhlLtRBfbN
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtuD5aY4Lb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgOToBjln
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBouu7Whne
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ8FBH6HM6
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqgpfdKpe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIEMCtMSXS
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzt6FyprbA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMHjaAhWW
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLx1NAcpGS
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdIKvYiltZ
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqiPL08DN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWane3HcHId
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZZM1Tj5md
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HUfmdV5hh
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yiAQLqX4p
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApNhv4xYjS
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9VtrpC86o
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1eF1X6Jp
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8GVVmAME
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXPmY44Qx
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22aA1qUkDP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLJJjWkI7
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabkYk4AayH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f1YOpjEyr
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R8swPsXX6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4em4BjAnlw
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIJ3ucbkQE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUOPFSe8pd
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjpTsQNKu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaO3OmA95Z
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mxhgZE1Bf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJcGYAWPRN
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmiWExJJSm
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvA0eEiBt9
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7o3lhkRz9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LXtfwS3zs
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABPmaZP6vy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmYAt1YJ6w
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z4OxG03yR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq23SfvswK
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNAypEoGmY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ba3RVGOL
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw1HgW2zVX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5tyXhzQWW
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppb1UhyM9F
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipwGwtGt8a
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXpS1X2Gl2
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyycSc7BDLe
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3UtAD0zxv
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFmnuvHO9k
「我早就習慣了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGNZCYZbay
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21EOPS0y4s
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj32GjrOdH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WP63bMlgC
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vmR7wM23
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS8laF1i38
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMebYIeODJA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3TXi1reCd
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZAqsmOYAx
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5nMnT4wrC
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5m57UIRHQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyShi6ipps
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ9soULb9Q
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6GsPBrg7X
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lwh0xZfzc
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnU8GlRxo9
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNafwyIsQYM
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5j5vcmREx
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1gLN0n7f
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ2Gs95dHJ
「這裡是？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf0CARPhnE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjXrm5mpYn
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDYjpZwK9x
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckQ7SnjIV
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoCFPX1Gt6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvLl7fFcfr
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqZJFbV6T
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX8Sx0vBMi
依奴指了指身後的醫院：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbYzfdJBJZ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yAejLIBTc
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mY4VX4TQe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYtmSQsxQL
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm85Hb6MFr
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFfM0eFicT
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBDgp5PcoT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKpizgcnW1
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpPKVnEhl4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWw6C6oJ3
「不可以嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM5Ao8UX67
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SMOXRn94R
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydScOrgz9d
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEpwBptTuV
「把杯蓋給我。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pgIJxEV8Z
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldNT7HgMlh
「就讓我握一下吧。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jVqPBPHtq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLHqh4WxkJ
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bNE0jhQT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshB51Qfi5e
「依奴。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K0PGVLobQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPn6g4hjW
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsI1meDG8p
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D24TnDMea
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP7ks1XvGQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbidluusY7z
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbdR6fQAp0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN6WEaYtDJ
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74PjwSvkN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2LRQ4Pgsp
「溫度回來了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vT8xMGLOU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgwiCKC2dl
「好了嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnSBRSCQ1P
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQeEcPYRlr
「再稍微這樣一下子。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubmCeb0THW
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXr97WG00P
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIGoMvo4P1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbN0bmIKzD
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroKB4aMzC
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMAaZnPO4z
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDSvqNeuxB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnwJjY8Fad
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q0lSFbu0w
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xmcWeZIdq
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlF3ozhsqX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XkikdBbHM
「喂。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSAgxyx23E
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaWMBLfpe
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5CWz3DEH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKVI0M8Ye8
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx8Lk7hbAy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNFAKHf31b
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL4tJoj4CJ

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGui13sToR4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcPoZOlFwq
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5Wqz8Iut
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46yfFIEfzq
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nbuQtQR9J
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx1AkUC3xO
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb3wBpfcUG
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7XtxUguo2
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8tMMGafou

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc5rddgcE2
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh8qagbNZ9
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cqDq1HHMD

依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gkObTOQW1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptJpVz9VLa
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKgVKFnQuD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxdcguLxXY
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw4qL43MjN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE575hQ3atj
依奴用平淡的口氣說：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mHhzmrohH

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TfCqs9Cl6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7seC7KBV2P
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJiwegNnPh
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qVe5JFAUl
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVQa3XSPFB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmjBzDt6HP
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYPjaQ1sFV
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHy28qYeiB
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqU3SYjvOB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw5nBI5iO5
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmWA9nDogn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OCUltBnRf
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F0CocPl8T
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc5TSfQyUT
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakx195VHLO
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ahNQdM571
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbNH1bsbn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzyt4xpYFU
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiacZhRN9EJ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8HcKFt0Qy
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMDh7lQxT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXJb6UwEFl
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NL88HGWVU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb2rKbumzT
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjUgOHKjrc

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJTbaHkRM

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cmC6gW0r
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWBP2xhD7r
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YavFS4FmP
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi35sSL4dy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ86Ap7BKst
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaInrZ4s3S
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sD9amFfiM
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VeJ3aFnR8

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcgdcLbal
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukA87z621P
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVNBpzf9rG

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dI9uBPyOP

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOSS4x5JO
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRZSh31whi

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4lTMyMss
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7z0pIka1

外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcY8J9O0nF

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdpp2n6Ri

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTqLnbBQv
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDNOx6mV9H
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMOcDhnaLo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcVJFyLzB
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsGMgLR9oJ

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hCwhqWtTX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKBrbSf5Z2
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd0GiC5Ya4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTE67kjeYT
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJOPb7e35
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwW7djFF0l
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFwXqTEwU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RA7mNxsX6
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFqUpt7gQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPZYFSzyWM
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaogIdoyYTN

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7D5PxoHmT
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihO7s8Kkq6
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZZpo6uij
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S11gX0M8p
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUDbtxZr3
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XnHe9fD6v
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1qAfJKoh
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDPhslyeSr
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ8JmjuExo

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHCS2w2QSE
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToTnMiT2wO
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIBRu7G7UL
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkoBW74stX
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dpfiarwfe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecOkuS9aFA
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ278e4zzCKA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuzcYQGkvs
「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiHWsPcIPm

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCgANkNbdu

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEfK9QmrDR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmBOvGEic9
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLTRU6Rh7
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIySH923GY
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTUuL2XIh
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogggx50G3d
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ90QuMhw53
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5mYz22Wvd
我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHAJCuGUY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPdLeB45co
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWksJw2eZ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q6IfdPiFn
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvtmE5PWmR
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPThAloLtO0
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7tijrq2v6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I30iLgvPj
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqVmBPoO9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrzN9OGeji
無數無辜的人死了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4p5s4u55x
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTJUtHkmV
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXK3mxWk0U
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLFA2RtIVu
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz298Qm5MC0

過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB326jzWrxA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlFMOPDl8D
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACxpiqNSu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmBUMovRX2
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvNpWdm2Rf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq7MAZ0d0D
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeWHuabQbT

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7NcnaniDU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9LTb1iL9
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHAueZvfRH
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExzwEeG6NA
「也就是傭兵？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwrOcCuNB

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0MYiJCuKz

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtrozMnaA5

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfQqfxFPf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlOfVZerVi
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OGVPSfUvB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4v8tmxys
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kyVH6RlL8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZtkP7szjm
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3InRSWxuCz

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKSdt2CJN

自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ETlzKiCrs

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyqjG0n6qB

如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN7Qb69jce

那些聲音，那些死亡。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4z0KO9he

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpdbEEu5p

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVHDkKcFQ

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQZeWIkI8E

459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2n54TuuF
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3XMGN9Js
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RdDbq4E6Q
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91xrMc3ih0

她驚愕地抬起頭。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpFadewdz
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVojD7s0r9X
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo9xAlASv1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5EeFOOrjO
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ8LrvwbAD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviGkvdcZy
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHp8DKmlyd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SI23Pdz4v
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYrgMpZDYp

「可是……」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334qdeN0Fg

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKy57awP8C
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmoia1FMPB
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqLUD7dRs
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdtq6SrSb
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREqs1cnT8e
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRXnsV3Thb
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmPtX54Sv
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLkOM0vnPX
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6Cb5Icvi
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzH3DVm5R8
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYFrEOJdRs

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DrlBgU9NQ

所以，已經沒有問題了。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPUNPeKzrj
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99cfOmfOqQ
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmHObXBS4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UsXPHiDMM
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7tSfxJSj
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2M1o5FQEr
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FO7f44A7W
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIahdC66rSb
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEjKcHMRyd
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQhSHJ6y57
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDwW9O8smj

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyONClsf9

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucmGdmMD5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHIEOf74f
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVASbj705Iy
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB48qRffEWQ
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ1dfEB0gL
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPt94qYl5
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtFQ26LIz

「地獄——」459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE2WxqTYgX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN4fBwJwZX
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcIkq3DVlG
