將目光轉回到威米堤身上，風提起劍，做出攻擊的姿勢，「接下來，該你了！」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH70D81d8F4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P07Xf6GUk
威米堤驚恐地東張西望。身邊已經沒人可以阻擋風，偏偏離他較近的護衛全在外頭，想到這，臉色不自覺鐵青起來。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtlAUMEIS
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMX1RYHfWk
突然，威米堤瞄到平台上的小男孩，一股念頭油然而生，既然橫豎都是死，不如就將計就計。隨即衝向前，並將藏在衣袖裡的小刀架在小男孩的頸脖上。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnml2xwkfRO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHazhWIdzFK
「把手上的劍丟掉！」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxa1p7nYlu
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2LREDCCXz
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ339fsGHFE
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqIxLSLx8
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiWJl7cKk
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkvoN93fyJ
緊握手中的劍，風心裡十分猶豫。倘若讓他逃出去救援，自己是無法對其他人下手。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOODDnnEbiR
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclxnSZANek
據童年的記憶，這裡的衛兵跟奴隸絕大部分都是威米堤擄回來的。長相好的，不是被賣掉，要不就是留在城內當奴婢；體格好的，就指派為衛兵；至於瘦弱又長相不起眼的，就成為階下囚的奴隸。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BjwtljOCu
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJuB50c8bo
即使有血緣關係的親人，也會因為階級不同，過著天差地別的生活，倘若替對方求情，求情者與被求情者都會被威米堤無情殺害。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqIX9Psh2L
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSOKjpQAh0
「再不把劍放下，就別怪我不客氣…」威米堤往小男孩的脖子輕劃一刀，火紅的鮮血立刻流出。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCAmTupWeh
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiT1aSnLHB
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECAd3aqjMI
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtPUUolce0
現在到底該怎麼做才好…136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJr2S8cPpm
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbHGAWBjdE
「放…」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3lvhOjybE
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6oTdciVB
小男孩猛然大喊，硬是壓過威米堤的聲音，「我跟他毫不相干，就算你殺了我，他也不會覺得怎樣。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqlgVeGfs
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJA2pKKNo
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVGSaBql9J
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6JZfobEzn
小男孩幾度向風眨眼暗示，「你要逃－－最好趁現在，否則在你殺了我之後，他馬上就會就衝上來殺你。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJrsRYalEa
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8mKCEVPP9
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ck468AunS
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFGNwBK4yG
「你給我閉…」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzEXqQOcyE
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlgGsNqiAY
「沒錯！就算他“死掉”…也跟我無關。」風故意加重語氣，嚴肅的神情，再加上不夾任何情感的口吻，讓人有所畏懼。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3tSYvPuAx
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXrt9fSYYE
「我真的要動手了！」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwysgtFVKUr
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwtN4sWwsA
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzTK6O0nQ6
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDeX1Jqw2t
「你不要過來！否則我真的殺了他！」威米堤慌了，舉起小刀往風的方向亂揮亂砍。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nAlRjG2B
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58roTG62ej
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vUjnCGMsI
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY386lM1aD
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSD8JQ40fR
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTsTscyjYG
風不斷往前進，逼得威米堤一腳跨出平台外，底下的猛獸吼叫聲隨之傳來。眼看機不可失，小男孩猛然咬住威米堤的手。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ROq3v4ez
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Y7qFuZuB
「痛…啊－－」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKkU6Ya5yZ
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lP51RIzen
被這一咬，威米堤一個重心不穩，整個人跌落直下。掉落的同時，幾隻猛獸早已爭先恐後地張大嘴巴，好隨時準備享用食物。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXrtaVjN1l
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtYAPRpMkI
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45QpslKeV
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdMRBtCFlk
對於這種血腥畫面，風早已麻痺，甚至是平常不過之事。看到身旁的小男孩，弱小的身軀不斷顫抖。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV0EzPK29I
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZD0RabO6
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTgUwsFnmh
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp74QZlsF9
「我不要緊…」小男孩別過頭，笑容中夾雜著悲傷，「這種畫面我已經看過好幾遍，我的同伴全都被威米堤這樣處決。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyiwh9ElLK
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ98VKKumKu
放眼望去，底下遍地屍骨，風明白地閉上眼。所有人就如同威米堤那般，被猛獸咬扯、撕裂、啃食，任憑誰都會難過。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xXGwTNgsH
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnEfCYNkj2
突然，一條銀製項鍊，從威米堤身上掉出，在彈跳幾下後，落在前方不遠處。小男孩睜大雙眼，忐忑不安的情緒全寫在臉上。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHnkXkGRZA
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOIecMx3Pk
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpD8Fav1Ks
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdszAgO6hmd
「這個…我…」小男孩想拿回項鍊，但底下猛獸凶狠，絕對是必死無疑。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXWmJcp7d
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1QO5tqXjL
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2nXcey7rn
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg4AqwEq2o
「我想要回那條項鍊…」小男孩囁嚅地開口，手指顫抖地指向前方的光點，畢竟想拿回來簡直是天方夜譚。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU3u4VPqND
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRMFJXh9OG
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm05iYJGruj
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qt2YH5cnW
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXB4P485dO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7eACSAXMG
就在小男孩垂頭喪氣時，風猛然睜開雙眼，想也不想地跳下猛獸群中。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Xc0tSqYT
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvibRd9Zkn
「啊－－」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpBi77RmN
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZrXvcYANi
這個舉動嚇壞了小男孩。他什麼都沒問，就這樣奮不顧身地跳下，況且彼此還是不認識的陌生人…136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9p9BXohq
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjIyNcAJyi
所有猛獸看見有人跳下來，各各是爭先恐後地張大嘴巴。牠們擁有獅子的外型，除了頭部，其餘全長滿了刺；擁有一尺長的獠牙，張大嘴巴時，足以吞食一個人。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUNFZ0lfg
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0w2ca8vW
風拔起劍，雙手一握，筆直地刺穿猛獸的嘴巴，隨即左手壓住牠的頭部，輕盈俐落地翻身往後跳，接著右手順勢刺中旁邊猛獸的上顎。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtw2Xwy3GF
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxcwyCkBzM
所有猛獸看到同伴倒下，全都壓低身體往後退，發出共鳴的低吼聲，看著風挺直著背脊，瀏海底下那雙凌厲的眼，散發出不可小覷的氣勢，誰也沒勇氣敢踏入他的領域。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2cstA8Ncs
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3oKtqfBtA
望著被嚇壞的猛獸，風明瞭牠們絕對是不會再出手，就大膽地邁步而出，往亮點的方向走去，所有猛獸見到，紛紛退到一旁，與風保持一段距離。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvpj1j5ARO
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK638i4kIwv
走近亮點，風撿起項鍊，略看了一會。純銀的材質，外型比銀幣還要大上三、四倍，中央鑲嵌著藍寶石，周圍雕刻一些複雜的花紋。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXxjq8Chq4
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8n0ulrlyr
看到最後，風赫然驚覺，但立刻收起詫異的神情，將項鍊收起來。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80u5vOj5W
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrqj4GkC3x
風環繞四周，找出逃離這裡的辦法，只是，除了高聳的石牆，就沒其他工具可利用，可見當初設計這座高牆時，就沒想過讓人有機會逃出去。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXOhA8AKj3
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92iRl4TE7l
再度仔細觀察，這回，風注視到高牆上堆疊的石塊凹凸不平，利用這些特色，攀爬石塊而上。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Qg2XHM4D
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYgs91CxA
才剛站好，小男孩就毫無預警地衝向前抱住風，顫抖的身軀，像是哭泣又像是害怕。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtAuRfNdzx
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8nBgHeeli
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLaKUOXVSc
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGggrHLQzK
被這麼擁抱，風有些愣住，看著他弱小的身軀，總算明白為何要幫助他，因為他們的遭遇是如此相像，也渴望被救。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7JD3mOtyw
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLY3mt7Nr
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghDCuxjKa
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1t6c1u2Z9
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKG2rnrmUq
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29eFHkrIWm
「沒關係。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLJxEWieYq
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmpLqIUX7Z
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaIQPHYkuw
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUltTeUd5ha
一看到項鍊，小男孩激動地將項鍊收進懷裡，隨後眼神空洞，緩緩地說著，「當我還是襁褓中的嬰孩時，就被威米堤擄到這裡，並讓我由里特阿姨扶養。里特阿姨曾告訴我，這條項鍊原本是戴在我身上，但威米堤認為價值不凡就將項鍊拿走…所以這是我找尋親生父母的唯一信物。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyl9bHWdxr
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5EbRwZdr6
「原來如此。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyxfzwpcWW
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7NLZnjBlT
小男孩攤開手，看著手中的項鍊，喃喃地說著，「原本…我是想跟隨里特阿姨死去…」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VJ6QcZYx
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLwvv4Hzj
小男孩閉上雙眼，仰天回憶著里特阿姨，她每次總是面帶笑容對他說話。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf1DjamjPo
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnmoVIFL9
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLPWMSfKoE
不要替我難過了，每個人總有一天都會離開這個世界，如果我就這麼死掉，那也是我的盡頭…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoi6FcuTO9
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4EaRyW0Rp
修司，我心愛的兒子，扶養你…我真的很幸福，我不希望你連自己的幸福都還沒得到，就這樣走到盡頭…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpbKeSOIdp
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1PuFkElFP
你要好好的活著，要相信！越是有活下去的意念，奇蹟越會在你身上發生…
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YxJUjiGe1
奇蹟…136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRSHgfPiYG
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmPvWgAwn
修司奮力睜開眼睛，抬頭望著風，他的髮色與里特阿姨有些相似，宛如溫柔照耀世界的太陽。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR3GT7Y9Am
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJxuXaWPyE
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrasw0aHgwF
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKaydwZi9U
望著所有骸骨，修司雙手緊握成拳，小聲地唸著，「里特阿姨，以及所有的同伴，我會連同你們的份一起活下去。」136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nNgaLRtmS
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUWOJPBrTi
風雖然聽不見他在說什麼，不過從他眼神看得出，有著非比尋常的堅定意志。風微微地低著頭，讓瀏海遮住雙目，嘴角露出淡淡的笑容。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQutU5JNX
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXiborERUq
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemp7tKqtzl
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwdMEkhV3s
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRDSdMVJTc
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuReikqybOz
「難道…」
