這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshHeEehgAD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52T5EkVF9H
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7f3lfLmvB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBglRB9M2f
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhno7qrtW9g
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz9AG4LGM3
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVugJ02Fusp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEovqBP6ybC
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnty9u7Uoq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnASmW55fd7
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJUuCgR4zl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TOCKHbLP5
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi1ZXL8fSz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMTWtxX6FL
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBmEFh14uR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X65qSKM3O
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9y5e7eBa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq6xZDNvQK
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2P6bWPhNC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6su9MLlMa
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkwpS7b0jF

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5j3aqOMDH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNidTZR3KJ
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrhpSB1dFR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqYddjwMtd
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbEIx22Ie1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2S1aY9TU
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxmSqMQexx
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHeQzcNiNN
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoq9JDdyNs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFRvrEGWj1
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZkb2pyGXb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKng0UAegq
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0QZ8smyJE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3J8E12Ix
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQveb0auD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdLOcAFUje
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKB21iCqxI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zjxGoHlM
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYyJaQlAtr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZWBTy3wRO
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7L8Bpz8Ly
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtcZrEAdR
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1imRd6jRWB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47jXb41Qrw
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQYbQYAQb3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Vaci8Dth
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0lPGjVOYm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7neHd73Df
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQP8a7vBxb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Dsfmy5Tg
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUc1U5t0D
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRy6wc5rwv
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsF4GueEz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NTujTUA7
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbpIU8qUL1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWTazfPKU
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──389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvsH55qOfe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e7hq19vS4
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpfMCNk44e
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D2LhOKQET
「唔嗚！」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvejemSj10H
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz73m5rpynb
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxUE9ORMUG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMScGiIBI
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSCrX1f99x
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy2qyRb2Xn
「依奴！」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zuMOVAMW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNMHusGo3b
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRIyId9T0x
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpOUzOLPns
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0kPFiczpb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFUtaTDGgB
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BU8VaFwXY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffLXbh7M1s
「依奴──」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOayaHNuWL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmHBqpjahU
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSAZ9xp0Bj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzcqTbM1De
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqsVsCy0y4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucIK6LmG1X
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLrlBQHQao
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXkfMmUO9
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DM5Yvd0d
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr4AgefZtS
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fj2U92ENs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i6JBLysdW
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT4p7yf5d5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2RA9hv8A7
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tql9ySmFS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqOU7vU2Q9
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlShKJhsWs8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVogtJC5nE
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdzcGHc46
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gffonNdME
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZGtBrxVEb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQOTjawwvy
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9zfysZcM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvMTNOz8Am
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlQ8z51dj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdYq3eiKem
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTjA5sBx1U
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5bBAKBUK
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bl3SFNvGo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHW6XUQs2g
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyghahOIXP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8yB0idrM
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMlQBrfn3I
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxWbWwVxF
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw5A3vNcLH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0pJlVzq1
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoxQufa5h
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJdRDGyrev
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvpnXetAwm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19RIB0fOn
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMjIk5v65C
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulytDwboyV
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4QcY4xc7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZL5EhbkD2
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOho2MaP2EI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHAjIJBEYK
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sLa6rrsVH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKssITonSe
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkhRroe4ia
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z1zthz2bZ
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFWTcGKJs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGLEYlz3O
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMYjqyBmWi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpnql9Hize
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvOXJ3kUS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRnSV5jIK5
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwVB6JK3P4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJccAAPv8g
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhwDiEdcG8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ljePwvvG
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72wHg7YHwa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC1EUuhcFs
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5rrkJO6mq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiiXDVLp36
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipZDjjLB9h
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eSCOQSFWM
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBJpfHZZZm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1slYY1qv5
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIweL57YMz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaqWzIF2S6
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKODlGfEM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmjp8A13sr
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFfPHPyRYe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2oXbZ63l
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhuHWxVKX
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBN6UGLuQ5
「我早就習慣了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgikOZJQ1on
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe6EiVGDIs
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ3sLU16q7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ521IpqIin
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQaSVPedQi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5nLOZi2nS
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbPCHeliTC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjWKHyG6W
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9sQwhfnPH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Vl7BYV4h
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRIldiQOA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjXorH1QlT
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hiYroJv3a
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLXZs36Ne
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMLHKc1fQv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5AEtVWCkv
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnvNH9VNPa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuNTmIssKt
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqdNlxsfhZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsv2C3OUWx
「這裡是？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2tzCFR007
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfSfHc3Ujl
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V9BRtj2FF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqQkjfpsY3
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OkbnO92dE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLknUWfBJVu
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjwGbqWBw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NhuvI7wqD
依奴指了指身後的醫院：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZay2qjZVz
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38TiHlm4WG
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUbkmIDj4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLDhcN1kZ
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWNub76LRa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1HlRNEDeP
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzAzXLEVlf
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqvdDcALts
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R718wbSuh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUN4csADz
「不可以嗎？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q83NpP3nP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfyjE0gMdM
「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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9o65Ac2hi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ059kR1qa54
「把杯蓋給我。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDhcOp1xiT
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX20HmIIBPz
「就讓我握一下吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4GRCIyvqK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihaJdtLxhG
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf6d8pjo2A
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YTcfSq0P6
「依奴。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvfKYFM8bN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5KhVgKHYd
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1suOsbmmIW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26lrKKf7nk
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWqgvjnFeK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02UCllSooN
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh027AIdGJq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RccD3p2pm
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvpNNWr9R
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudcldOsoxZ
「溫度回來了。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8tyWyHY4h
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLUU6uFxp
「好了嗎？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4oJocuhET
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBafp4OMWQ
「再稍微這樣一下子。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxhRTnxXFw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJ5FH6OG5
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MUmA6Ef2b
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgLvbUgnyh
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCymSX6zvUC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8trfeg30yt
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──389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQ42tRI9S
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW1m1lN2Xq
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lNclLDm30
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuuQbQpXKr
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHKpyK4uNT
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2riJfrigk
「喂。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq7Np2AL2q
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnIf6ZNKia
「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？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsBMG8IrwU
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgoKFSf1gx
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfeQRV2OVY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6QIyXOYy
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrF4d4tFY5

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnroxsFk8L
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRymtL14AnC
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3rH9a2LZp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vcAaf6zjm
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOfI952Sws
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzphQZHQhvO
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyCPxd78D
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0Y4cdIr3
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkXp6IA0HS

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ZeGdhTTU
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUm5MQgqt
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdEjgzF8Md

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOwnUAHxHh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8XgIbzky
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9x5iYhse
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR9kSnM6mC
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe8mJKlF6h
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixwhwnNJKz
依奴用平淡的口氣說：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOCg0JQgR8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHIYJF3EoV
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8rQgjTVjA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQC9nkTNkj
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7SuHRS9HH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXCsuQf59
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ954SYFBF4r
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCLjbTVIc
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI4gdP89V7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7sb5USETO
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Jb1sUiOZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlvtr3wCIO
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTadzQXoHZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1zVZepStd
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWdIzCvqv8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YKVASbSly
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HPsm5tuZp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK8fl43hR4
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ipqjQZjL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstHGY3qNbR
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV3UPhVHws
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM98c2Dh06
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLXVvDiqe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF4qlOSTMV
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」。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkdS5tPCeH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuPIhQrdcA
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R37kY17R0

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kP2qXYA4o

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRetQZqHpku
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6OvDp2Szs
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlcl5Ispyq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34IuOHi3Eh
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qqyvSQ52W
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftVp8S65cG
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFjy2BaPli
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjALDUR3Z7
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkEOFeGM4P

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvlMLoxrvP
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDWmH2lPDu

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwxErut8kg

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwXe5QTDJM
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacFKuJAvlQ

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhRf1pCkh

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgEiPaAvYO

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7llwbUyFO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMmg0dYANh
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeit9B7q2c

「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYRSUVYvq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82iow5C8p4
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYVNILTGjN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyZDd1hwuQ
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgyE8zRQI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKsENnak5g
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbCZzdFqQo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ctoAbnvo
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfwsx1PI7

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhN7cK9kJE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhlAzx3MhP
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqhMwzfI9S
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1EYPlPnOb
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ICn8B30h6
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehexB9aBcH
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GeRtSfavy
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDifqyO9Mkb
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiVPRUBG1

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC586cegFKp

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnllU1GWXj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMmELw6pG
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsvFuAFspa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQtSnzdXL
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTqDopMZXu

「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgATwW82sO

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33oLvNZFp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni0I5qJB6s
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq11n37t6N
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecbWl54XuF
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZGED9TP7o
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpiSSfKfix
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWHMpMXTY0

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUesJ4lhyP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlcZLJjqQ
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSuLsvrXU
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS6JkQGA0F
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLlVgmnbRw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonX92uos4I
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5HaOL0hgY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHLYKMwDxt
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShtpO5pcNQ

無數無辜的人死了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr22bM80Dc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9vltdn0y1
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSfTiRMjLd
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RkjwvUsBs
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUudLQAPds

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqLEWZqjM

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAtJIl3olS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNafv0Pt333
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorT8F8svQl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxWxKid1vC
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoeL2jCvZj

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsaI5jxaGu

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjV93I4MUr

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hBoXP3E3

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJJu4X7mm

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PNKHt5GYL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJz3lX6Ps
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sQFGnrFrp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrkf3Tu29c
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdUg9SAUyu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDnOJ6noLj
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOW16ottJ

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZMO4qEsb

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcaEHpl8BC

自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDlcztTWZp

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqTeSyfk5U
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfki1WNlvJ0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP84hNQayx
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？389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8BF2O3wGl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHjxag9J2N
那些聲音，那些死亡。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWjpobROSp

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyF8DbLKG

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIAEArPTjw

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZCHLAkVo

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYwKScMxdm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmZEZqv6I
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToRTBAyTGc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEnurfIZi1
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5WrPuzee

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wTKSVwZw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqDABH1uV
「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……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUXk2746wd

她驚愕地抬起頭。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQAGK0YJr2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC4xOnReiB
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmMPaEXfHW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzGf2jzKCm
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MTXjFCa2q
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrUpUypyI
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WpYi4q3wo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan8zr5vzDS
「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？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkhvhn8IVH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgZRmGKkog
「可是……」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb0T3oHkTn
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp9gYzLJ6T
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypTtWZDSg2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ZMPiZwil
「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！」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6e3yxfkXs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLiDPYIDeX
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ049aVx5yCd
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2rdzljltC
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq98pLfTqy
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURNgsWnWh1
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：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LEK4ZQVde
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuVEtJ4unM
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9q0K83MLD

「感受到了嗎？」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOHQTRKURI

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPL321cvYt

所以，已經沒有問題了。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRWccGe0EL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpLu0iEEz9
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe8eTiE49c
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNi5QwaBPz
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbAkLmk8ie
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8T1vWDP7H
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5R5M7t4av
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknj7jwvjaE
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTRZtUvRsQ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGioIvm0QhB
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JWnE9Errh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHrFpMgNUb
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqMSrEyA7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3G2pdSj3c
「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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp5RThgxVv

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivejVorPP1

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dfyJgCjm
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XfhHXLbB2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDo0vhsenM
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkz6PKcJyR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH80fcllhN
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtXJgVOIo
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou5J30N9il
「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。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eZfH2UrTs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDKphsMofD
「地獄——」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHRwBLoy6g
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRQqVOdnb
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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjUZnrFGPu

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGyxpF02i

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDGsOmSlM

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。389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ636LvMfaQH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBRvIv2TwQ
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb8sHyepbZ

「不可以，」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7I8OCHIdP

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDFL0f15ds
