這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwnTrQO5cD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOH4Lc2hZC
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe83byYkKYr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabngE2lZa
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiA8X5CjI1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguswaiLFDI
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQoeH1FZSi
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUXrCXIERF
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbVIEvcUwR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVBCuCx0sH
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdEQodzuqe
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GYHxM5cVR
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zxVXiuTxY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6uvsaSuMD
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3N0xQJuSs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhqelC1W5
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhiFDXcVu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGKT6Oyj7t
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWPqLEGj9r
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjPbIV9Su5
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JunIta5Jk

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPId8EGWKaw
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBeAujb2z0
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vW2KYDojI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedilO7OK39
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8lyKwETPN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTngOuae6
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYm6garUs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRndXfYQEO
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEDlpl1iIR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCMr8S9MyL
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBsvDzYvd5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhOsgz3Z1
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57z14G5iu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOaP2oVdxf
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyWWRfNqk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKUUNssxb
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXx5Wl9qOj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ct5xxiG6
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScH9TAmeSE
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0yYPq2RV1
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7WDxITT5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4VUtKuwK3
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OyHzoxpD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tzGZDdm4S
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5H7gMGJmH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVa3xtiMHx
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGSRmEqDSs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMyKjnmS8U
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qNHr6HUfW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf9uwdAXcZ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOKMkxJ1L8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfyFe2M6X1
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BieXbEkn6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7jdWZakp
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRvXsqFBKy
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3BVncnuI2
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──415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4eUwt0RlG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogGCZbVqPP
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH25EE6imN4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG8ZWOp68K
「唔嗚！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1rwUaPVuA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8ADPq6Xo
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFH83LJQ1e
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMQzR6W4h9
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHwB6J1Csl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtML6b65Md
「依奴！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ifnrMV7k
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aXBCvwKOo
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAgyS6k7eG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzXkbpyTta
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdytNXsH25
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOWUanqjo
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh3ci9NGxI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDJvkIU9to
「依奴──」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIH8ikUkFX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu7HtjTajt
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GnWiaT9H
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNoENNnyiK
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJrnsLChLW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQNKHGrnd7
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKx5KHNHwT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJg9fdulUi
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpjd1IgOc4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGLTGAaGbp
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn0HLMgWnJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETuJMYMgdU
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt91RMAxLRB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIg92Fuavn
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fg6bbOm74
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzhZVPguWs
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9GtX0r6N0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsuqYfBvse
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4WKo4pdV1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqPNV0meca
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKFpriK1xC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl7W4I7DPx
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H61HvR4Yv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HB8DWP2Nn
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqb5Mwl4Uv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lmd1wg3mv
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSVRZInbAz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru5S0EFMUn
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamYidLBKar
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0wnvgjWNv
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCLluWc7F
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WaaB4kzR
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM61Nc3u03
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3JWatnk2w
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUjlrBnouT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KlofOOsGe
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpJN4pNzYh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHDoeBwou
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCq82y0uMd
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTlYthUsW
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZpHKqEFW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0j5guoK5w
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw28J3ubDt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEP4O0m0GG
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjhhiqMQs6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjXAOkKLIf
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkiyDwA0k
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9Oll94qS
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKZaUIhtv6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGoygxeawy
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOblzYctfJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vTncQ8Ff
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCIeVyJQOJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BQBfiN60s
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w4jTfb3Go
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUa1EBD8JM
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Yw5JQR1U
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9TJIeRY0O
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqRJu5HP3Y
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw6J6VqReS
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODNbDvPY21
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE4zOf4EWT
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfzum7tPsq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGY0XWQQOG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwBds1ueO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRAsPHQxkm
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12qurucGBq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpcKlCnEor
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeoPOchycx
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6cj6PYqOI
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1sC4LH0lM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPdyG251xU
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3HuQSLqlB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y7Ovh6APn
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQkcYnY0H
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPf9H6ueCI
「我早就習慣了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxylG4Nisz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d4SwJW2UI
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUVVtgQSN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1rae26e9O
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUDoWZbUMf
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdqrVcelNf
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbN1sWWRL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bo4BRSZci
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLOEJhSVO5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBRhBoOz7E
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdNxA9ONao
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vj0DFJBnW
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTeux0Z8v7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulKikkZx5Y
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaD9WvSF7u
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUwCsStH4A
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ApxWE5C7z
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRkSwB7tw
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VZ7WDH0qH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbJxwsezi
「這裡是？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeB51g0o0B
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdz03wujNW
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A52BoCTf4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV1Bwle8zI
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcLmkedrKk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8w1OycVsl
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIX2OnuFGG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXSNgtIoKy
依奴指了指身後的醫院：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz4gCft3AB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O04sRXPWx
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyKCvEVJh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7XbdJCjZE
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGFnZHOSyK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADIPKzbUi
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZJLXZ93Fn
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi8jw5st4x
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Azs3MF6k5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkjH2eGg2q
「不可以嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYFdSWk5II
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzTWtj4xYE
「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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHvz2akp8R
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9yF73VkD0
「把杯蓋給我。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRsZPDfKL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDY00mSow
「就讓我握一下吧。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj4rR1UpQR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfj3g7zEuI
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbZPBCluNI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbMxmprk3
「依奴。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g0zsdqDNe
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQoXgiqqNI
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao9icnYUYW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0IJoLObGa
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFFtXp9oRg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5FaMNbfUF
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkRqzvPAU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgryBY1Tbb
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBCBiTCPd9
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO4N0nN9hI
「溫度回來了。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTLrCyufY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlQyDcOYUG
「好了嗎？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40krJkyHkI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC1NrCxCoq
「再稍微這樣一下子。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t7f743Okt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GFAPVklHG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMzT5lQPBA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW58O9ZExf
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXikY2c1YjP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxBACUpol
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──415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvKk6Zopm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU27mljWjeI
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuSOGatITX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSl0lo7lw
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEZoFyyjQJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQR5eaWEcm
「喂。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsLvCK3ka
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax3KXVsND5
「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？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA3tyS2Hm1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt1DB7ew9E
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRfmajWrw3
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlZdRHCwMT
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7fupL6tEb

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgvKL2a7yV
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYLWxS77w0
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ZKhEH3aL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlOTCRLvRh
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55BCtX6Eqg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0o8h6bZyk
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63tJyizGIq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PI5JCJotM
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5PeH996R9

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAhHl31qVc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIokn6QKVA
「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkfhLk8re

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8PznNWdHZ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdP8Mt42iS
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEBnhTAikb
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhTCpvA9Ju
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQW08RJgT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ad1ujJOr
依奴用平淡的口氣說：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXgsjdjh7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOeVTEm93j
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoJbcLXjD6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwVzua1IcB
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzAXKjtYj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErWLBe3qy5
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskT8vPL3XF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfQXKjVv6
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGxFBWDQZC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsf4xHq5bv
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtHMtBUgv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1EJ10UAh
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bvQIpCiYA
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzyB0EBT2U
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD6YVuxECI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDeUFVgjdd
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVn2Er1WW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8Ezp1Ww3
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FkupPKIcs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ5GFMlsFA
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP0qZ7AtrH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOK349zGxR
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLchPhSCQl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7zToN7K5G
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」。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aVDv3zfoG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDEeeBQUiW
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNywQAf09N4

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy0UxYZ8o3

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS5QDC1cJC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tkHKMaQVp
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHMweqFHQ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAl94uhsqO
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMkPftHJdI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAvA3qIdir
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8UvIk4lm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlo5zJb3bJ
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLpo8rp9E

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHyPXGvT0C
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbslRwDVG
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFIQ6U3LkH

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKquJn2eOL

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT2nCVUs63
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：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U5mVlrIZA

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfH2XOB5s0
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9IBTUPFp5

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yTxI8IkYF
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxoGuxod59

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCPPQK8Pkd

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiylrT2o2z

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRAKS2hZoH

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tQiWH4354

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh06TsihITQ
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4yWAKOvX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne0lbTlKs5
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TbW4GokOM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPebZIG8kDH
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkL0YoTiSt

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx67yYXRNC

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9I1GVHfs

我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnVFAuEQ4i

因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcEAql7B4P

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMaSf8rWy3

無數無辜的人死了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sgcvbbvFK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqbM7xMv4J
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQrLN7swD

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O1tHOpowg

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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYvxpu2UJF

現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr31YAB2VI

依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvLPgTLLvB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbRDbPFHGh
「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？」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh3LmQkDwR

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Vn5sM9s7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnhNqrmOUi
「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！」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWtREgQBO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY1v31lFtd
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeKvAHMfKr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zsYokTdA
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iBDQ383p8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBn7unV1tB
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：415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXspM2bPLJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdMvF33KX0
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcSajpQhZh

所以，已經沒有問題了。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvTbCSBc2p

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWHfGktnYL
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4bSpoRVD4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygCAsFy7bN
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDhQGuCWp1

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpMAfUu7iF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWClv4Grapp
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMYVvOyZLW

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKk8Q0TJBk

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6pkt5BolO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTQ2nee7D
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14LqLpEm0c
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZcwOMRqY5

「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。」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eKTtCFea8

「地獄——」415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCALxoWVN2L
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19hHZ6Acq8
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。415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXucOWhUZ
