這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVqhsGRiaZ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGOFlhyaYR
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLDpIJ5y02
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9MZsrL6l
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQY1YPgPj0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24jMNmnHAE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj11IHQdhNF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSRqOw9ub
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZZA7FLSuL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJwDDwUXRE
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfH13Owiys

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7m623aph3
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR1onWbxOv
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNvUUgqE3h
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3W3IcDXve
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFKFdraruM
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr0thB4A40
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSAdihr1AE

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtsgXwbSYo

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznde2kMUu1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2AeVsodvg
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXDg5LSFG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnGDlt6na6
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo18ySWNV4l
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIg2AV9EfT
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JcLrMItfm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLj41MXoFG
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8fhVcXSUM
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1GWZnT7n5
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg16wpH3XK
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQuxBY2b4b
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vdNSzOpoE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsA0UaSX34
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyak9cmu0cH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW81CLW6G3B
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbxBAbjEWV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94X89YNOSw
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh0RxJ7sgu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9jMOTSkX
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp092A2ixG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUSxWFGKQA
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKlO6UpTUs
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKXA48hQ2
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS5KECqto8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUNg9zBo0V
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhlw5c5Nth
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGdyXT02BI
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ICjupo6tI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkxexhoybv
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfG5bLApfe
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjpd3bFjmN
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDw1cAXtAN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2HvoxGp0
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTu0DHECR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4o0XmXBwN
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──390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEMkMg5Jxd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTU7KkcrBB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7wWjH7jM
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yaGqUbEcH
「唔嗚！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh2XOCpBXl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TZoJf3iwd
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWy5Iz6vfc
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudAijMPY2
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCsHTO5tU2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8trorQmOL3
「依奴！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaufkSU08Oo
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEaU0d5ZDB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYKX3QO3v2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs5NhkmjAC
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHUapi8GpI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLO45PdZ6H
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwxkKerHGE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUzmm7ZmhF
「依奴──」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTxioAkbL1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH22s99FWEr
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2DyKewIU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoEr3rym0
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHexYBHwrQB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3dgVUOH5B
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab6OyvCpS2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LyriTv4za
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQIhbEx5l
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmZV0NNTte
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6pMU5Drn4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxXk7BauO
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEXJXxWSAD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAPIYR7EJz
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqoD5KyEx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU7Ascthdu
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjI9kU3WXi
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQmtR3q4mY
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS2UVDPvxG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LJ6i8rXLL
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2rGuHcgcd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJMrH4tft
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8wVRMehat
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgG7xMGOve
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgkqxO1WUf
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuytpQ2qCC
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcuXqi7Bk9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3pI3KeemV
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOB2x72DQa
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjlAUb4RH
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6z58AMJaG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zSWhT0od
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDYac8ROMp
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97S4kVqag
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmBGFCkhcR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqY7uGxOKY
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFXixWxf2y
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYoKp2OpYS
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDd9gmst6
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGNcJCTxh7
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQBAlsWXeJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrOjPNFuj
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFGeAPm60j
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgfDMoI9pO
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgD9hSrzl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu1WqjaVq5
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlBZ2ia4Zw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2pAs2N6On
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1HO7pmsJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPYFOQZk4j
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIUXIdNVTo
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP1UWYhb0n
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpVvzzv2du
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YJ5W0hsme
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQ5TBN0u7
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzO2dAalwq
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oX1bVzbc2
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDkBWy35yy
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzw0vu5FD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Y1g33uYg
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28o3ydNgX
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmLltvUOk
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XG5t281it
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB3YSZtBwU
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCScflfKd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtLmCUd5Co
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18LxouYpLk
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQOw0hpSf
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgp4ZwiMH9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fOXgAt9X7
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt79x8MaTtc
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9dGGdUGDl
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAbfYb4vT
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3YkzhXM5L
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo1pdGbtC5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157csSa5FG
「我早就習慣了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq8VEyVJZu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ByKBRu4aK
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC0ZzYI9mJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAcUBoTvtY
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHasqxXeV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBVnZjmSpL
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh98qXuocx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5LxfkqbJZ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE0Xcl0EG6
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lYWJKNy21
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmK4DVMkBO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmRkcq9lik
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphUXSOsk1r
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhKdlsxpvu
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWJC2stGMA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHR1DBniwd
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhFKGFHqv
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFSRqwNYp
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13SLaQIfwI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mey4hDAOI
「這裡是？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaic6JwlM3
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp51NW0yhC
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAgcDz1XbT
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkjEOLJae
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTSRuPWv1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEhqGgSXzo
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmphH8LU74
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTzeDaDuZx
依奴指了指身後的醫院：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPMcn7ev60
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCHLN2OyRf
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuLdRp2oyp
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKc1c4lTeu
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2n7JUO6JU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8HLICzbG
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnS6pEvZCe
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMV747Nhf6
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLvI6MsjxV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp192g8l52s
「不可以嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJSn2ndWde
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2t00ib7K
「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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqbAtJBRfD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21UZOS5paM
「把杯蓋給我。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwu0fcU9We
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSOabCtUm
「就讓我握一下吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqIEv877Dr
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGobkyEmARC
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfdui5qIfB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYnVaKtqv
「依奴。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYqNThtlV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqzFaxZFXi
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRvNhShGMR
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlWhLHOH3z
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbXKEKZQe
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IBWJEP2V1
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLisdfUzx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF80EMMqst
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFej5P8Ev
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6IjSAxd48
「溫度回來了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkTNIt5nGu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSi7sbLmy
「好了嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzrMd1lIS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLhRPc8ubd
「再稍微這樣一下子。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axVd4OFjB
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrZIVglDvl
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhB9brd0K
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuHnLPjlEH
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkGuJc0lI
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wNFpDIOw5
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──390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASxX6yyxzF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzykFDeONEB
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e3gKX7WoU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p5oXI7PGL
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV10VX9slx

「喂。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lee8sQFAn
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAdg413RS3
「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？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RkQq0qVwq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV5wff3s7c
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyP6vj8ha1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52YUpKSV1v
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR7pp2MP5X

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM53kXIa3B
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVySpTFqA
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTPaC0MrWq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X9hbVuMoq
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPWmwwMRUD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfH1aURsmx
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZRQ0ApAvn
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzpQBw6Oe0
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHS2ssGqhw

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5OcWpL6Vo
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCkUhucm1
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k6Pd4mnBK

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKDvWpk4Y
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvgzg5uTv
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61evLvtwYJ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtjDAqlm1w
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVCRKUEqZA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4DObJBRvP
依奴用平淡的口氣說：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZ7DMMm1G

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsmQGNdp6X
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4sHXBFDw
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH10fSLrMew
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbv3nG4Jp1
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4n2o8Hml
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNsZ6q0qUD
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi5vBunuLy
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GVLl3REfv
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70dwqnrAHN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl91xM9wTg
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIjvoA7Bg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHRZcMlcRU
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJUK1C2W7
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnbWdze73i
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy2OnG7pGq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1rWLTpM77
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWpR62eAXN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg8QZoLmUl
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyFZsTu76V
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClhGqZlSt
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJTlloRtMp
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdTaqMyVef
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」。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3nxPHiT0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzMqh8g5Zj
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDw95KVgH3
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRK6AiQNTn
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTLjqHlR07

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNAahSh2w7
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29yblDmyj
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmSQbQsrmQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1NOOGlYOB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zaJFPQWV
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32CgJy6acj
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eMbHHtKIS
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu2Wxs0dtX
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMyIvX3SBv

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH05Z8qpcHx
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7qYlVPOv1
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZccYh2YEJ

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mCLuu2EBp

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LKDdbeIw

「沒錯，」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHp3XjqUO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywkgLzMww
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：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk3rn2id57

她想要任憑這塊沒用地軀殼老去、腐朽，就像沉入骯髒的大海中一般，漸漸被毒物侵蝕殆盡，灼燒肉體、啃壞骨架，分解成寂寞的碎片。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrUI3YtxVH

她更加抱緊了雙腿，指甲掐進肉裡，滲出了血珠。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGBt5xH5he
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt2xZPiVQf
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2OtEWtcO
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFlK6BncDA

390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD69CWGPWP
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptxfkZMkrh

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJE2ULKVBp

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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKsi0yC4Vm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8vTUBCJY0
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xNE9SWSx0
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVw4kIRsyd
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UOShyMM7g

「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3K7hK4GxE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf0hmzAtbo
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMaWWAh70F
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMuA9M6JHv
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMatAqF0nW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7fzVYM4X0
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTi9yS3lrn
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz9vIkEkS0
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hZbZx8Ay
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl7IUcLKhk
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojfb5QiLaS

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMF8eicP6N
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcu6GaR37
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZ0YgFs41
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BGe9z0tay
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQuUQrAnc1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKBJcxWgu
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqCxNBg1mZ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PSUFWOdem
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm4DVIUgv5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiklnl0PHI
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lnioJMFel
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGxGFLkpPI
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23SLp6ydqC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dpy9vfzpl
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVY7oCDYMA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPyt3xWkOQ
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ddNo4ox4
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToG8Bfqdmi
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOGFTxCSXK
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAiRTNuWKQ
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL49ny0WmM
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedZLNBuL2z
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yVDjYokRm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqiLIsoZIi
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhJvqvEXH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbCW1zEOEW
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpglXeGZeOm
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBAp0x5AZf
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrGbvyQ2Ry
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAAHCLuPcN
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67SbJVqCXA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDEOYkpPYg
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHodl4yLkdL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3aQqvxrH
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQPLSNTjnT
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTlmCOfiI
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVLUSImYqG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTsgEPYB5K
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9oYTiFgJ3
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXElz8GNekh
無數無辜的人死了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs17lhFuVfq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xj77TTLE1
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPy3yqTCC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZRfGr5hZn
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYj1B6tYXb
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IXOKLcreC
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIprlViqFbQ
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh8ApkwCrK
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrwcKf5lwF
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjd1xODuZh
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBxqxpvmwq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLXD3jb1Uy
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50i199X6o8
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUunUCXpLVc
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOf8tPdMxa
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWe0PeRDJ
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdaS5YS9An
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHmEpF1Wsx
「也就是傭兵？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhuckwB45

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltZxCYNyV9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ4qan9LRG
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkWpXyj8Ij
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNErFVsTL
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo2xjG4GKg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGsTXoKz2g
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFOTRcOfeC
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30172zXsRj
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HPgwBwG91
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegmEbns0bH
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDGMjrON5
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBeHUyuwS
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa0O8UFiwC

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgHA2kU33S

390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUmvUPpTNz
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmUQobL5Nw

首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpEFSEDXxg
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hCqTfllVt
由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8NqmGijB

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGczrYYb9I
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WiFOWYmCs
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYRqcrjr0S
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8fa8iO9tu
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUse082AqHL
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCoJrf12Us
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOInxbRsaK

「不……不行。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEvVL1VvfA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgjsNdBGQb
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5qbILy4NA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NJmoIaQM
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbR7aeb9sl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TEPAUxIfH
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxbafMEZEl
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYscXNTAp
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHx9ugFi3X
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZrrrvDXje
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？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXK8Pnypq9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4M0cOPvO
那些聲音，那些死亡。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM8JTAPGme

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAdyqe5XzT

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrupgkLFND3

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCSszWQT1
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvuauuxd6A
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDitcqv7rIn
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93oBrC7nEF
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyrajnWdpD
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXCvakof9U
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH94Cdh4wmh
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPbCsWzjRr
這就是恐懼嗎？390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJBkTZgoT

390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2SEPR5OFQ
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyg7VFhCda
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRX7onZdj
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2lD38VJ2b
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv57LW1L7E
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWs4JWkmGE

她驚愕地抬起頭。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAGEbFJl8l
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGTDVBEjY
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7twhVIrRo
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzSPrGSB0Q
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusTHK9Ssvb
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh8ehDXmHc
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Rwf3PiuG
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosePwOn0PJ
「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？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuEljpkUdy
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSmtFnO871
「可是……」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Zex6IbLb
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BPSCF2RZl
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY4qz4bTYE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U6g6WvsTm
「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！」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQyJWG1Fq
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QU6IWZzZB
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkftgxt0dA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktwxyB6cgd
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OI7UnDezH
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxk1P3gJ1c
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：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVi0uDJE2C
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj7oxUyg6l
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSoYDTwb3D
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkOcvRzejA
「感受到了嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DkIS9YUM

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu0uLU2U7t
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PSiaj44uu
所以，已經沒有問題了。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO36S4Y8Gu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN2kYUIRvL
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEqrjU8Z5V
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIi1nJmpTI
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpQsJxGLPU
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIxTIxlSZC
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinpsmAQqHA
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpOwwYuTu
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCImP6hj5vE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R9DraDLv6
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgcwdAo7U9
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA71cP433Xg
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OHOuL1Zu
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3L8sGR21
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCBZcxgmGW

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAMmUmcPM

——起點於黑色聖夜。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFhONisa0

那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxxpW1OFew

在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNaNbD7NYL

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3feAe3UWcj
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwuiC6Nci
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZzRh5yVBd
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiyHLE0Edd
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfHqqaTT40
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjepMUkyuE
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PcTJn6cNW
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NsXr7j3pY
「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。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwFzuu4Iw
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMiT1zLicf
「地獄——」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYITQVQHWE
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYbONXoVO
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。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CxpmhNSHN
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsE1e3A581
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVCgi3FIoh

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHqjhxfLce
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVUzrMSV48
這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN24BdK65wh
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dBARIytRW
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCvHwVWg42

「不可以，」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNP41fAkNn

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSLeMtUi7O
