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！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ULiFt3aF
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyH10pMWjj
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZGpOsWwpK
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5g26JL2XG
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFcp4bAKf7
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaUoAAPP7
「把手上的劍丟掉！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAO4EaNksx
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8S5sRQOR
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9bD21S1P
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMBNFtYAb0
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGGEFnoQXS
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy9uFNBWeU
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUIeWN29iE
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmkMkMYZFp
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpUBGzxino
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHfB69AbFT
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIAOz8Ah2B
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpSfhyEFH
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh4glOWSbN
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGZbi0mqqb
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb6Z4XMZGE
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAECIKlPtet
現在到底該怎麼做才好…123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6v38MiGYd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX04PiUhXp3
「放…」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqZhYkH0Pa
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ssuiQ21u
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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM5NqSWIRX
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dF8EdiPW
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEwe2sO60h
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOCyQK3PX
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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83nhy3YUXd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdOTiRJqz
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTRw7tmuMF
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Si7KZGZB
「你給我閉…」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHqDFaUGJP
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjMkaHRw1r
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O25g62yDd
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfS0wucHK
「我真的要動手了！」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcIclkXreK
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626RrJ4V1h
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULwybNenWL
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelpGsvOL0S
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOxbufCw0X
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUHrEk2vgU
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxSaQ57VCs
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfReyGDhbg
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKVSfO3fpo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrW7nzjOGr
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv216DgmPZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUtTY0yWp
「痛…啊－－」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAMWgPX9ql
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRNfHNCuaY
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8jfjJNWAW
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXHxi1A9wQ
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLwYTMbWfR
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssjuF3pCuG
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNBQMoSKHt
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq8MoTIWpB
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdpgIt6gZh
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCebJqHNir4
「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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bpTXQ20Sr
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1YHl8Th1Y
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUVi0IpUQQ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLHlzYxO2D
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnEvNTrHgq
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpynbWDGt66
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaQ9hO76PZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUlYMLIJRt
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VeWTppTyR
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDRsFPIWBl
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwAyKVvICq
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeAa5lxHit
「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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNPXxWlS0F
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9hp9FI7xL
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ottfciJfz
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J15YJWONb
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuojRVrhkyQ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zbXMJ2Xw
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUAvCIUhWZ
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2fnlqfD7
「啊－－」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf917EtB2el
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYifYTO8Nw
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…123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6IRXBulVB
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q7L4S9lcp
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Xgt8ooi6
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQqjbBGidu
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokNSizYpww
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EVuEJdjCo
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUgnknOm2
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOX5GMj408
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p71QrY3L2
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzgXVnQSdY
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUzOce3fSg
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcI6QTJv3p
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5oZZ8uZw0
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAZRNIbUe5
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvi8ovdwWF
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr6KnaYxOy
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiatvSIwjR
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cxoh8omNB
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4WkDBwGr
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTpZLYuiwe
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJg4qe23pq
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ZaPYws0Y
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUVAGFdyT3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPT9KTVmK
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqi7wGZwoX
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVK8G57IcH
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtEKGmX33x
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulvCoJ6AHX
「沒關係。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEl8uB6Ll
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeZnZTt6uO
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTcfbx62aU
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfTU3uprg8
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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ea86srkI
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkiy195sny
「原來如此。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcAVIL1Mjo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEqztv58Rg
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…」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkqyurHU1z
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI5k3R4zXY
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpdRK4DqU3
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz0YJv06gY
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJiStPCcMA
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…
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBLsu2Vtm
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyvbIR89RA
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…
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcSnAv2WoK
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85rG0ElVHF
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…
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACXdiaWvOg
奇蹟…123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XH2vsWOo
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECIYrkRmJL
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEPBY2Drah
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeid9dO1cyt
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm54irKuuPn
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLME2NRMu
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。」123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3EW35Oq9
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjBMGfXxS2
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。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOOMobAIL
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdvlGDW0X
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIorYj8TBA4
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzOwI5rS0
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET4iTtgOHL
123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVPrtxt2R
「難道…」
