香港，某私家醫院的私人病房中。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDN6EHjWA
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUWeAYR1z5
這時候，私人病房內正上演著一場豪門爭產，三姊弟反目成仇的精彩戲碼。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilZReS3u2
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnKcI0OVJf
潔白病塌上的躺了一個正在安睡的花髮老翁。若不是床頭的心率機顯示的心電圖仍有波紋，大概以為他已經死掉。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9xcdoFcHg
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySx0h0oZ61
陳啟光，已經七十有三。他是香港地產界的老行尊，全港富豪榜的頭三名，更是多間建立多間孤兒院的善長人翁。他白手起家，擁有神一樣的經商技巧。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex3u6Anhhb
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbqnfbqnQ1
盡管如此，人類不是永垂不朽的神明，注定敵不過生老病死。陳啟光病重，需要動心臟手術。由於陳啟光年事已高，即使已經找來醫術高明的醫生，存活機會依然相當渺茫。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5aW6DsdSR
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVpIjEhw58
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrgKumKfwG

小時候的聖誕節，這三姊弟滿心童真，曾經一起蹲在窗邊，烏黑的眼晴從狹小的窗戶窺探繁星，祈求聖誕老公公騎著鹿車出現，然後爬進來送他們鐵皮公仔和洋娃娃。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSfFveHjOK

「大姊，你是外嫁女，最後都有人養，又何必跟我們爭來爭去呢？一句到底，我佔五成。」陳展安扠腰，在病床的另一邊反問。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMt3ntEAry

「陳先生，醫院範圍不能抽煙。而且，吸煙危害健康。」年輕醫生說道。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFLAC3c9WX

這位戴方框眼鏡，穿大白掛的年輕醫生正是黃嘉明。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qkxaft5Cj

病房房門關上，黃嘉明坐在病床旁邊的椅子上，輕嘆一口氣，眼尾餘光落在陳啟光蒼老的臉龐上。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvvrkvm6X

「陳老先生，該起床了。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnooDNffbO

「陳老先生，你應該清楚這個手術有幾複雜，成功機會有幾低？」黃嘉明翻閱病歷板，隨意問道。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6mv9ZhhQa
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKVfAQr7Ik
「大概撐不過去，哈哈。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilfLJWl6NF

陳啟光呷一口水，用沉默代替答案。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU0whCocWl

黃嘉明不滿道：「不孝子。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jVZhXpU5J

「嘖，年少求生，年老求死，這是人之常情。喔，對了，這位小護士是你的戀人吧？挺郎才女貌，眼光不錯喲。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxnxScIWoE
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRQ1Wr3XV3
「他就想。」依翠絲矢口否認。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruL7plteU
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL31PHReBj
「陳老先生，你老花了。」黃嘉明尷尬搔頭，續道：「別轉移話題。作為醫生，我們必須確定你的意願。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHZmT0TvVS
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjOYyOoLfu
「或者說⋯⋯你不恨你的兒女嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbHqLojKZ

「好吧好吧。醫生，你打開櫃桶的紙箱，把裡面的東西翻出來就明白了。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Qj3g2MSt

黃嘉明狐疑兩秒，點頭照辦。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBElvoAuf3
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlwLlESJDt
打開紙箱，裡面放了幾件玩具，一個「鐵人廿八」鐵皮公仔，一個「幪面超人一號」面具和一個椰菜娃娃，墊底的還有幾張泛黄，用畫紙摺成的聖誕卡。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaGGfejVw
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgcJQmohd7
「幪面超人⋯⋯鐵人廿八⋯⋯嘩，頭髮亂七八糟，這麼醜的妞。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MefQ68tyX
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVohZTauMb
「你才醜，這是椰菜娃娃。椰菜娃娃是上世紀80年代，從美國興起的玩具。抱歉，這位醫生弱智的。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKaVS4Gyk5
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9s8OJgXX7
「哈哈！想不到現在的年輕女孩都知道椰菜娃娃啊！」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfxUOtvNY

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5BQobholF
「這些玩具是他們小時候的聖誕禮物。想當年我還扮過聖誕老人逗他們開心呢！父母和孩子是贈予和回饋的關係。我買他們喜歡的玩具，他們的聖誕咭是我的回報。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC033OKkbf
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrE49FPWax
「真是現實。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1jcYb8Dw
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTlAWRDNMc
「當然，我是一個商人。假如我買一件玩具花幾百塊，那他們一張聖誕咭就值一千塊，至於他們的笑聲嘛，每聲當一百塊好啦。雖然他們長大後就沒有再歡笑過，但說到底我這個父親還是賺了。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR6DxB2qdu
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVHj5PZsF
「我啊，打算賺最後一把。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssMVi4Qs2c

陳啟光的歪理和瘋狂，也許只有身為父親的人才能夠體會。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1EJiHZqX
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8evZ6DKuT
黄嘉明和依翠絲聽到老人的笑聲，兩人心頭一酸，也不再說下去。聽到這裡，他們已經確定一個鐵錚錚的事實。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HK8S6QLgC

「醫生，你到時不會在手術室吧？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOQ4ULqQW

「我還有更重要的『心臟手術』，其他醫生做不來的手術。」黄嘉明說道。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdywC2G1cyk

奧托蘭姆的藏書廳位於學院南塔的頂層，挑高十米，分成兩個樓層，大拱頂玻璃天花讓天空的自然光灑下，使它看起來格外典雅。圓形大廳擺放一張張長桌椅，高不見頂的書架包圍大廳，扇形的排列和密密麻麻的書海井井有條。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rninZ28j0

這段話並非黄嘉明胡謅，而是出自《靈魂世界編年史》的序言，他曾經在房間的書櫃無聊翻讀時看過，對此特別深刻。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90h4eFdEH1

「你應該清楚靈魂駭客的守則？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZEVCaUhk
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sj0tWwOYg
永遠保持客觀，不能在接觸目標的過程中使其惡化。這是身為靈魂駭客的第一條戒律，亦是最重要的戒律。每個職業都有自己的禁忌，道理就像做殺手不能出賣委託人，混黑道不能勾二嫂。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphNqHtprL

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAtMIjxgNX
入侵陳啟光靈魂的心魔名為壽妖，屬於D級心魔，特別喜歡患重病或絕症，像陳啟光這種病人。他們像寄生蟲般榨取宿主的生命力，同時使宿主的求生意志消沉，有的宿主更因此想歪，在疾病的折磨下自尋短見。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflqZdclokF
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkItveiavYP
在一般人類眼中的病患自殺案，實情卻是壽妖作祟。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga41HfJ6eu
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMgAX3iyof
壽妖在眾魔中實力不強，亦不會在宿主身體具象化，使其變成魔物。可是，在靈魂迷宮吸取生命力後的壽妖實力倍增，而宿主求生意志愈低，他們的力量愈強大，死纏心之時計不放，是調整師頭痛不已的心魔。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7r67Y7cpz

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MkeJygwv
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ZDHkl87z
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8Ozmkuek
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Py9hboxo
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoLt9Dzicf
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI6bt4Y15L
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BXq8fkMbu
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehNJSF0EnD
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2EmZGSz88
黃嘉明沉思兩秒：「我想印證自己某種想法。不過，找翻遍這裡的典籍，始終沒有我想要的答案。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq7M3BUA5c
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcrgghaX1L
「答案？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBFJzADqsC
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz9iWlptEg
「例如把人類帶進靈魂迷宮。我知道那是禁忌，只是隨便說說而已，哈哈。」黃嘉明聳聳肩。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9vnA8UWA
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqclyJgUbhM
「確實，靈魂駭客的約則中禁止將普通人帶進靈魂迷宮。這裡沒有你想要的答案。」紐卡遜壓下聲線，古怪地笑道：「院長我剛好有一本舊書，或者有你想要的東西，嘿嘿。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkpvCrQFdN
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoZSlJZwyF
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkn8BXqmzK
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDaKQHvNae
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ujpqg4KkD
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFaFvvY97
黃嘉明聞言，夾緊屁股：「我不賣色，絕對不賣菊花！我以前在蘭桂芳聽過這些對白不下百次。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9lX0yYx5e
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR9lGzUZHe
「你去死吧，怎會變成這樣弱智啊？」紐卡遜的金鴿手杖叩落黃嘉明額頭。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtguw847KJh
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGms2B6LzP0
「院長？我不是弱智。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsQiYcteP8

院長室燈光柔和，壁爐的火光搖曳，在古老的灰牆上拉出兩道長長的影子，整個空間傳出陣陣的煙醺肉乾、烤棉花糖還有波本威士忌的香氣。唱機的指針劃動平滑的黑膠唱片，披頭四的輕快歌聲繞樑不散。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaqbYOyYav
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJVCM8k8mS
紐卡遜院長很喜歡約翰藍儂，就連圓形眼鏡也是同一款式，黃嘉明暗忖。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEBDVzjKl8
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1GypmxdWt
黃嘉明第二次來到這間擺滿西洋古董和書籍的院長室，上一次已經是半年前，在這裡跟蘭鐸教的修道院學生對招，敗得一塌糊塗。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6PtPxs41
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvil2LMU5v
事實上，奧托蘭姆的學生也沒有幾個參觀過院長室，黃嘉明卻對此不以為然。要是讓其他人知道大概會犯眾怒，先被脫清光，然後吊在奧托蘭姆的旗桿上示眾洩憤。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNTeunj28e
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Xs5SoEQ6
這時，黃嘉明已把陳啟光的事情和盤托出。紐卡遜院長本來就清楚他的事情，而且直覺告訴他，這個慈祥老人肯定可信，擁有跟團長一樣的氣質。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIRi9cU2zB
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOgH0vfzMC
紐卡遜院長拿著一本泛黃，書角被蟲蛀掉，用麻繩當橡根紮住的手札。他翻開手札，遞給黃嘉明，後者猶豫接住。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgLI1tcrQ1
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDAKamYNqE
當黃嘉明看到紙上的墨水字時，瞳孔驟然收縮成針，思緒像掉進大海的鉛塊，一時間沉沒在其中。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG0BcAfNs3
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gLDaSF7s6
「無錯無錯，就是這樣。難怪『調整課』沒有教，正常調整師都不會『讀心術』⋯⋯」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyE0Xe2sSt
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t2BlLFeQY
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gD9H44iJ
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uiALN4ZOI
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9uHqzg69O
黃嘉明一邊呷威士忌，一邊翻讀手札的內容，讀得津津有味。他的眼眸中閃爍興奮的神采，像鍊金術師找到賢者之石的鍊成方法；篤信有外星人的科學家發現真正的外星人；考古學家找到恐龍遺骸。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkWRCigzat
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qSvrxvxX
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtLz5YeQkt
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezyHzRV3o0
跟黃嘉明苦思出來的理論一樣，而且手札所寫的方法剛好踏在灰色地帶上，沒有觸犯靈魂駭客的約則。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WWtFCP3Jn
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaXk69EWTB
不是從軀殼扯走對象的靈魂，而是讓他們進入夢境，然後成為他們的「夢之橋樑」連接至靈魂迷宮。當對象醒來後，最多感到疲倦，並不會有生命危險。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKWNVCvI0
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJACBub4xVK
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlCtdITbts
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZRQyMJOmM
這是一本禁書。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZgtI3NIQL
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nk1PgHREK
「這本調整師手札是我故友的遺物。他是一個學者，專門鑽研一般魂師不會去思考的地方。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1U5xkJQZQ
「也是，正常魂師都不會打算把毫無戰鬥力的人類挾進靈魂迷宮啦。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPeafCAKlc
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMbD9HgE6
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF90AbEMlQ

「相似？哪方面？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBkHu1U46
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dxp7qpq9h
「擁有跟你一樣，連魂師都會吃驚的神秘能力。你稱之為讀心術，對嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt7fzRHaZu
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zcxRgJB6
黃嘉明聞言一顫，聽到對方沒有發現自己是古魔，暗自鬆一口氣。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn5eCIuOf5
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSC7AW9PR
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR0itKTt9H
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDyAFcoaNQ
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHrjq1EYlk
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAsUv6MHia
「我相信我的學生。我只問一句好了，你會用在正確的地方，對吧？ 」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyF4Zx3lu
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9G7MUYeYY
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABY1tIG5e8
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlC5PiC6Fy
「那就足夠。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Mqhl1kns
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJDYcaa9Ja
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FV2crx3wS
「我想想。唔⋯⋯你想問關於魂器的事情，手札的作者是不是同樣喚出一把『槍』，對嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxKwBosE7
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDqEcvXzgY
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrbnHMMLvH
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4iAJqvcZW
「我靠的只是經驗。我那位故友是一位調整師，雖然性情乖僻，不過魂刃依然是劍。你的魂器可是學院最近的熱話，連導師都暗中議論紛紛。洛奇那個小子本來滿心期盼把劍術傳授給你，現在失望透頂了，哈哈哈。那是聞所未聞的魂槍啊！」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YsHp1kmGq
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMKCQ8YahI
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxYjYwi8h
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzG4wcmfBq
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwqdDucbB6
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYAPxT3yA
紐卡遜院長淡笑，出手快如閃電，瞬間抓住黃嘉明的手腕，讓槍管指向自己的眉心。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnFVQf2o5o
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGacxPtVkU2
「院長！」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjfJLxFcXI
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1cQcspZ4g
「開槍試試看。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDP4mc4LIb
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1m9tH22V2
黃嘉明臉白如紙，猛然搖頭，眼前閃過一幕幕鮮紅的畫面，震耳欲聾的尖叫聲在他腦袋轟炸。他的食指傳來刺痛感，痛楚沿食指攀至他身體每一條神經，每一粒細胞。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrOiPcEXY
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawDZpQwvTW
「來來來，我數三聲。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oeCZmlR9

「一！」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5JthG2PJl
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LXMlMcEOi
「夠了。」黃嘉明讓魂槍消失，深呼吸。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUN4Y5Vrvk
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOvOkL6OB8
「行不行，想不想是兩回事。你應該比誰都清楚，你魂器為甚麼以這個形態顯現。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUvXZKdoe1
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyGaCjyAG
「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNgffAgIcP
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH7k9JWJi3
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQfcwpDKXk
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij1m2sUCYF
「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoHL2jPSJk
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDg6eJ8eyx
黃嘉明默默咀嚼紐卡遜院長的話，直至告別時都參透不出紐卡遜院長話裡的意思。258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX7M9FZWKX
