這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiexXDyK4d
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSwxmue1e7
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMthNlvL3gT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAvZYk5hxF
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhffhoKr7V
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0E2aflQIq
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7lnlkgi4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ITDeH5tz0
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXpcD0B76
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagK5Adu3Ch
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn2HWmrz1A
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2HMTuwY9l
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9xT8FDLSl
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNQTDCe1tM
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RB6Rj2o1P
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpHY0zaMob
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qucKpW1K
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs4BHnChku
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISouIYT5nw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPprQuu51
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBK7ZuY1ne

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQrYCdasJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrZJv7CfB
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDqKjYoOM
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPEiKEYjRj
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vOGSY5vxp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AIwJj7lro
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Oefb2j7v
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTCCFV2ZxO
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOedy2d0Mh
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUifmLdl9o
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYn31Njtb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcetyZEqHgK
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfYciOh0ll
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LM8PoTDO4
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OoMTKBaxn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajSNLKrqmn
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lxNgDkYjQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjgqIpryBc
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV4XfMYk1M
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ahINsK6J
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMCw7PoCI0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeEiCOBvm1
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahgCDetK3f
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQUee4X903
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4r4ZDx0eR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwRiV5wg1c
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXT9u0EZNR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UDdx98YSy
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNi0K2oGAj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0dt81Jsg
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHVC3u7hkg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgU6kHSZJs
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1yIiLcaJb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvzXKUoX9w
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzMOkff7P7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVoIEDeN9j
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──422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUyHQ2jL9L
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt9e0unOfE
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhGz24MHb7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPsf722aU
「唔嗚！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AuUVHlmmi
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewO9Rh6bSB
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyXVt23m3l
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Kj5AO4KL
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalvbYM8tB4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Z5YHrfO0
「依奴！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkivdgy3e
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFsSoSjlHv
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2si64to7r4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzjo473ZpJ
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCyVqOykz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gxm5zWoyS
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEHCtMqN0U
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJLifM0gu
「依奴──」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWEXWkV8Y
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FE0mEp19H
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Jq9FUHdX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyUX7fRaev
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRBs8DFIBa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeG3YgdLEC
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n9ZoXNr4S
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1o3WSjAcF
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwFD9P5496
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD59BfTlThi
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDpRAiVcxq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYidIbhlC
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kZcI2YSy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIuyol16SP
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO2bjVJBUk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8GLTBaFRs
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOET6GeF3KU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7rr2DRJcz
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpSIhpyZRg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXtrqtTT6c
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9MwZGFKtd
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaoUIprRLt
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgmEe1eWHW
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4WLr2TnPc
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RFYCM2Ym
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElVM2vVRj8
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfGGiXk5Z
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZWUG1ya8l
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8X7cnmxpG
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzaw8wFx2D
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cCfC2ypt6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSFEjV3Nt
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77FEMV6Pul
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgjeKb44uh
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJUD1NGk6l
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCao3aCA0lZ
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8OLpKBSy8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiv9xMSXv9
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGnZXVmFfy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZlElaZC74
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiVaQBIWLG
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhuRaK2T3n
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CQmiHWgch
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OeWbZb9SS
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zyz91oo0p
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCijb7VOPR
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsxm6m7WrX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7sLljnavL
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh7HOvxcA4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1TqX8DBj
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYjJjKHL0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceRfM9w2Kl
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wwNQnZJXy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KaoHB3fSv
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QKtETU8T
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4EPJ5AZ5f
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHwwL0WRLJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLhmXLdbS
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqsVqC8zUF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wZDEXBB2
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgyWgfeDF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4NTBXXax
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJxNfzpPTF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawEou0Hope
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zKq9jhjni
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1OyUaIwh3
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqOIsvYZ0S
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGkdMK6ktS
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCntCpAZ69
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5suVcf8GCX
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnsuO3UQO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqETJnV2zNI
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCjbBU9KkN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeBok4sEC2
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLVX79Yhs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgIrfNViv5
「我早就習慣了。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEf4y3HaPX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhZmwQH19R
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4d80KAm5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mjYaXR1lt
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKH9kmHbBF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4gHIItg5
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiRgpq37NS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb1J0hJtU4
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQAO0ARVsJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINIPYTQ8tR
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuZhqTyt93
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAISEPYEpKt
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjOsLY0liR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqd25SBLwp
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwSEEc09Qb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZDkConp0
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDbVZD98p4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIW0mhp1vt
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtBZFAKYmC
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyvVZx76o6
「這裡是？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj42oVs2Dtt
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXseXRIoSIl
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpSbHa8DCS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwggQZwaWc
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZRxAWpIpU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwmtfgATr
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHjtumpV4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p9M13Aqyu
依奴指了指身後的醫院：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54sxwi7nYX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCkz31pZtU
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ7C0CPDap
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0mjENQHA
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsWqJTo1HG
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugI1lLJMoO
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22qq8Lu5rH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FhkkxYMl
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9egtV9JnT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlv8CpTmmt
「不可以嗎？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuqO1t3rdj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ZAiEeTdW
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRFvHMNqa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaPLFZQL7V
「把杯蓋給我。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEulSf39aXi
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevdw6UDbIA
「就讓我握一下吧。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGF1Ht0Ulw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbmlmQyik0
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavt7hlO8T
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLXdBJj5AY
「依奴。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55IlcP72R8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZEzxwJGoN
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHYkBwysL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMEoLFX4GM
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKveusBI7Qi
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSs4JZe8Du
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6q9FLLov
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleysjAtTNl
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Law9iiZQ7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx5p1HP4kb
「溫度回來了。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhAPmEEAg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0tdhYy3j
「好了嗎？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtIVOEJxc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJHs7p9grt
「再稍微這樣一下子。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA92tUHDhN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45QHhevz9A
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSocmZQtTCJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnaPuW4VmV
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3IhksEBUl
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzYsKFg5tP
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──422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkR2W7665X
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86PHogOjh
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlbx6INkSA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tTf2qU5LI
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAZbnl3A1Z
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpQ2dJFih
「喂。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyT3v3272V
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVQ7Rb5wR4
「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？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejXrPjJNB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDRfY1eNR
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0fJXj7foh
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVpgGZwKDL
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MPu409MbA

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAcF36Jusb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfB8yJlrla
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aUI7ovigD
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1LOfG5Mv
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6vVBU3N2q
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BGaD4hiXu
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2r8OR54Af
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMILqru1Ri
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEqYRiSTxN

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxCDdCVWMQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7cwUYyN16
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02oqWcKcjc

「跟上來。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS8O5fgFnp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2nlLIvjw
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL5uBrwDhi
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugNQ96EQXc
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g0ZP6GMuI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9PqnXT3PR
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWvtljvObp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AcBAJJAwS
依奴用平淡的口氣說：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YCkJCU7eC
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ239C94H5ah
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18i62Cib3
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzVgwB2oPJ
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DZilmtlIg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKCBnnHgFR
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nnOK9IPhz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84X5jF3CFw
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQvOgR92L
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbS8n8ylD7
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKPjJCyzHc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWQRb8QZ9
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFxH0UH23
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumKYMU4Hf6
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYDxtZYOs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfr8p9PFWV
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7yZVP2s98
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISZaMBjbf
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkflE8guOOO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2LbSCONa4
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NcJVWVRrf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8qNCDDIf
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqwgmUIaJ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLdHtQ3gpQ
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」。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9lLV0yH3Y
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJniKEgfgS
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY25VZWRF2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo06A9UnfZa
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DPRb10Zy3

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnm6vV2OYv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV2JQrLPt8
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsu0NiBpaN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzOJOrSiv
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIr2ZKsjdT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8PjgJAvMP
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaBdBow80t
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoJqfgjJJm
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0cidlkGEi

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRXgSVjTs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpVMOg6yGc
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtHDcaF90x

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUOkAVmta5

「沒錯，」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV8wkkIkz8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmYacsgan
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：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UJpMMJMwh

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedI4ljkJa
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GYL4Qd4o
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk3p7eebBA

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n9hXZx2fD
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4C05K6Xr

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXv83G6a4O

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z2S0uV28l
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHCcYh5YZQ

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9fTZMQCCY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx39SqjiNeA
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIfbWHvbhW

「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCNvziJgtO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BKudWIt1
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfCpFX0KSI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVi8iGLlcc
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRAR89vTi7

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYiRPh3sLt
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgApqOXgc9P
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjslp0zIhq

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu587gjm3g8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGyXMFqupX
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbji7MUw1D
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvkpsTNw8L
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB3Zy2BNOG
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7zcGuFsWu
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjPdYzECT7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspxDxgI1iz
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF3poHUEYK

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK42AU8Hnt

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB19WQzl4Sw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXMr5HvL3G
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerBmc59FOo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKZVGLzoVa
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EvxGGWRH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EvYwiHmuN
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CJS5SdBhs

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsF8JdC3l
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2iap09ZLF
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaVv2hIFuu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbTxHLGmBI
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFk4TvX1an
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemkN2UDTHv
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGreA8zj7t

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh3Alu3JRq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvV6Os4Ebk
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2410mFfl6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV64Q02mvPn
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlAJh2Pv3T

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL1jGBA6c

無數無辜的人死了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlPgMMqQg9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLV7TmU7k
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi64XsnJWp6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVaA2tdHil
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbMItQLUNd

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWCJmkrsu1

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxqfpkyi66

「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ZKgSISgQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCKoQsMV2E

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn272vfbOt9

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavABvWUqyN

「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOE0JirWdM
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92pGyHL9JP
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8OZwctaj

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXuD52frDi

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2YG28Itji

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？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Yzo4EngS

那些聲音，那些死亡。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazE5xHv9Ha

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvf79thGY

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbaXtRVgHk

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4cbY4etMM

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIkMuBh2BB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31S0ilgUO8
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ZfKPQYHq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEGIBDfdvd
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukJ9Ng0KN

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk2FpE6O1n
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQVIcY2BR
「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……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwyVa9ws4C

她驚愕地抬起頭。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6g9DiFldS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ46ycpCeOi
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gciSe52w8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvNjpI7EF
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeZjvJVBzD
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8c2OvI1v
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUe4v0wMu1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v4hhI1dbY
「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？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcFGREYH8H
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqOk14rEAP
「可是……」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEMJoQxXQE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WYlVVPuh
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Ar8Y1JjR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l2BzqSYxz
「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！」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN6vs7mkZv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkaaIBYVrv
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaVAtSf9Dv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCSANyl7si
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmvmawzGlY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSQToS2Ih3
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：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO47A2w47y
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6Y9N83zm
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXqtAfSFJK

「感受到了嗎？」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdsWkDFblM

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0j4NHiaWU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo437KixpVo
所以，已經沒有問題了。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnk96uPeka
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjkLtJ5r6S
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p6smBpYvN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3taXWeBJ4
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9rOmm0qP7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUnbWrf8r
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVpV2MDPNX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwsvOAjTbc
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsJlAXETyU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JfMrJBPpU
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnpWfL2IAj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ641Ow2zZe8
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42nNzjjqaT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudjGOgso9
「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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2yCrfrYH5

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3yzePhtGe

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ7xno4xCO
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAawd12bxY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlLxS8AOM5
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvQO5uAxOw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaghsdRtGv
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZGBpFK149
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkBSvIcykm
「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。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBZDB8CnyI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmWBAsOydG
「地獄——」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJVzHm4wim
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTkiB1mgwi
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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1O8YdcCDf

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdxGZjR7x

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGj21WYc8Y

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。422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1B1guugiR

赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ax6WSNwBJ

「不可以，」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpNZd68jvU

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGcnvMl43i
