孟達的焦點首先落在地面一副人類骸骨上,經過多年的風化,甚至把地面染成了棕黑色,身上衣服早已破爛不堪,僅剩下幾條破布條。「慢著⋯⋯」正要回頭打算提醒天慧時,才發現她早就注意到地上向那具骸骨。178Please respect copyright.PENANAxNHaMznw2c
178Please respect copyright.PENANAf1F5wLwVUq
「這是研究人員的遺骨嗎?」天慧神色無異,淡然地道著。178Please respect copyright.PENANA7b5O2jonVv
178Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYfgKM1vW
「可能。」孟達繞過骸骨,走到實驗室的中間,左右兩旁都設置了一系列的研究用具,容器到處亂放,更有些被擊碎散落在地上。他朝擺放著舊文件的實驗桌走去,閱讀起上面的文字來。178Please respect copyright.PENANAr3oTznhVUr
178Please respect copyright.PENANALEnsYWmjSH
天慧查看著地上那副骸骨,發現側邊破布下藏著一些東西。她慢慢伸手向那東西,眼睛一直盯著那空洞的頭顱骨,當觸碰到物品時,快速將其從底下抽出,後退兩步才放心過來,一看手中的物品,那是一張身份證明。178Please respect copyright.PENANAPpu69gUjNA
178Please respect copyright.PENANA5tRoQuwzse
可惜年代久遠,上面的字跡早已十分模糊,看不清那人的名字,只能得知他是一名實驗體觀察員。178Please respect copyright.PENANA7CouhC96XW
178Please respect copyright.PENANABKWn0q1nUV
「天慧,你看看這個日誌。」孟達手上拿著一份文件,讓她查看。178Please respect copyright.PENANA458mwlcEWB
178Please respect copyright.PENANAm9EQc6Xreb
文件上頭掛著一張舊照片,無論是角度方位,以及內部裝潢,都跟兩人身處的地方一模一樣,但相片裡這個房間的正中央,有著一個比人要高的巨形水槽。178Please respect copyright.PENANALfVEu6421N
178Please respect copyright.PENANAM1F5fAmy1T
然而這裡一眼看完,根本沒有那種水槽,就連能證明它存在過的痕跡也沒有。178Please respect copyright.PENANABlfDrE1PXx
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEh0zZhFpNf
水槽中似乎有著些甚麼,但是照片十分模糊,只能分辨出那是一團紅色東西,根本看不清楚它是甚麼。178Please respect copyright.PENANAtWUa5tXOYL
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFqGJr5Wk6Y
「實驗體一號成功創造後,各種維生指標正常。」孟達讀出文件上的資料。178Please respect copyright.PENANAYrKF3cnpQ6
178Please respect copyright.PENANABsevroIrKr
「這是已知第一名複製人,代號潛龍,基因來自廿二歲成年男性⋯⋯甚麼!」他再思考一下自己說的話,大感驚訝:「玄鏡輸出正常,但及後因心臟衰竭死亡,潛龍計劃終結。」178Please respect copyright.PENANApgzq3xYJra
178Please respect copyright.PENANADPQvZQwzrc
他翻轉背頁,上面的相片更令他不安,上面的紅色團塊比之前的更巨大,塞滿大半個水槽:「實驗體二號,代號紅雀⋯⋯基因來自四歲女童,玄鏡在此實驗中超載。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAyLp3TLhDXg
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwS1FadmOjc
「之後呢?」178Please respect copyright.PENANAMCJVoUuSM1
178Please respect copyright.PENANAIa5NiqkboQ
他不斷翻頁,但後面每一頁都是空白一片,沒有再記錄之後的事情。178Please respect copyright.PENANAuPqL8KNX24
「沒有了。」他留意到日誌右上角寫上了日期,便將目光移到剛才拿取日誌的檯面,逐一查看其餘文件封面上日期。178Please respect copyright.PENANAOGEEzJTPiy
178Please respect copyright.PENANAjFV9jWfRCK
「這已經是最新一份資料了。你看,那些文件都比這日誌要舊。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAGfzP2nxu4w
178Please respect copyright.PENANA95APZ2wT4F
「複製?為什麼要這樣做。」天慧神色有異,看著這個神秘的實驗室,既是陌生,卻又有些殘餘的既視感,時刻牽動著她的情緒,連番後退想要離開此地。178Please respect copyright.PENANAPkZdetTboZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhoCckQ31b7
「這是違反自然的事情⋯⋯」她一不小心便絆到地上的那副骸骨,整個人跌坐在地上,發出沉重空洞的聲音,然面她的眼線正好盯著骸骨,整個人頓時僵硬起來,無力後退。178Please respect copyright.PENANAAxn4XlwSdi
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMvQng5Yi91
「當心!」孟達馬上遞手扶起她,他的身軀擋住了天慧的視線,才回神過來,柔弱地緩緩起身。178Please respect copyright.PENANAODoHfImGKm
178Please respect copyright.PENANAKHnmL3JoFe
「還好嗎?」孟達道。178Please respect copyright.PENANAPWPffKEb5I
178Please respect copyright.PENANAS6cxvKausA
「剛才一跌,我突然記得⋯⋯曾經在這個方向,看著水槽。」天慧凝視著同一個方向說道。178Please respect copyright.PENANAZS8ok5CpML
178Please respect copyright.PENANADiXPi0PB2g
「話說回來,地板下好像有些甚麼似的。」孟達蹲在地上用手來回敲打,兩人所在的位置正好是實驗室的中央,這部份的敲擊聲都十分空洞,在上面走動,每步之間也察覺到地板有些微下陷的情況。見狀,他讓天慧先退到一角去,嘗試在地上找尋著邊緣,果然不出所料,八條細小縫隙從中間延伸開去。178Please respect copyright.PENANAu7fg50tAlT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZdeuLcFSWt
「來。看看周圍有沒有機關。」孟達將檯上的東西都翻了一遍,也沒有甚麼可疑的地方。178Please respect copyright.PENANAFZuSHkUeh3
178Please respect copyright.PENANAKq8qQEqdw2
正當他苦惱起來的時候,地底忽然發出機器聲,中間的地板分成八份,逐漸下降並折合,一個大型的透明水槽正在緩慢上升。178Please respect copyright.PENANABnbewpWBBl
178Please respect copyright.PENANA4upeubrAJS
孟達回望天慧,見她在一處設有多個按鈕的實驗器材前,按動著其中一顆。178Please respect copyright.PENANAGFE61rk9vD
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUqE3b2CGlo
她在短時間便找到開關,使孟達感到非常詫異。儘管如此,他亦沒有多想,回望水槽,裡面沒有任何液體,更沒有圖片中那個紅色的東西。178Please respect copyright.PENANAwkyiKn4b6Q
178Please respect copyright.PENANAT00mknrKRY
「這裡有很多謎團,真難受。」孟達嘆息不已:「究竟有沒有人能幫忙解釋這裡的一切⋯⋯」178Please respect copyright.PENANApE4QUtRvWf
178Please respect copyright.PENANAI9GhT4GoKv
178Please respect copyright.PENANAxIi2VythwG
178Please respect copyright.PENANAcmme405oOL
「嗞⋯⋯嗞嗞⋯⋯指揮官⋯⋯」178Please respect copyright.PENANAztHN2p8Rsi
178Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Dwj2niDH
帳篷內的通訊器發出聲音,洛爾聞聲馬上走到通訊器前回應:「收到,請說。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAZsN4FgKd9C
178Please respect copyright.PENANAPXczKXizoY
「我們抵達通訊室,正在修復遠程通訊裝置。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAfu5OtkQFxd
178Please respect copyright.PENANAPEYquE3W2n
「非常好。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAygZ0q4KH0B
178Please respect copyright.PENANAsWSx3llCfU
「指揮官,請問天龍軍是否已經到達。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAUebNGrj0O7
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhhMIaNr5Rc
隨洛爾而來的艾拉參謀卻搖搖頭,擺出否認的手勢。178Please respect copyright.PENANAXuMk7QpCPk
178Please respect copyright.PENANAiQoSOYtF1M
「還未有。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAimsj4OSZ5G
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmMX8Bne610
「但是,地下設施的電力突然全面恢復。」178Please respect copyright.PENANADEeIGVQ30F
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEWAV2Om2vi
此刻艾拉也察覺有異,掏出自己的通訊器來不斷劃動著,又在一邊打了一通電話。好一回兒,才走回來,回來時更是一臉凝重。178Please respect copyright.PENANAZvWv7iUdp2
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEKfUBanmMB
「不可能,我們還未有抵達青墟。」艾拉說道:「你們還有其他部隊嗎?」178Please respect copyright.PENANAtHuygz91DU
178Please respect copyright.PENANAy7F5jkw4rB
「難道⋯⋯是地煞的人⋯⋯」洛爾聽後有所懷疑,對著通訊器又道:「可有確認被擊殺者身份?」178Please respect copyright.PENANAT1xfjILUES
178Please respect copyright.PENANAePKCwcY2ZY
「那個⋯⋯因建築倒塌,大部分屍體被石塊壓住,無法確認,只確認當時周圍沒有生還者。」178Please respect copyright.PENANA3kN8Crmu8M
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYSIBUZ7WR0
「指揮官,有問題嗎?」艾拉見洛爾神色有異,上前一問,他又卻裝作若無其事般搖搖頭假笑。178Please respect copyright.PENANALQsGGbWtNa
178Please respect copyright.PENANAJknqPqAcDe
「該死⋯⋯你們好自為之。」洛爾壓低聲音,對通訊器另一邊的人們責罵:「馬上修理好定位裝置,接應天罡小隊!」178Please respect copyright.PENANALaK042BiJp
178Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjzlsasLm
「還有帶博士下去核心區,讓他處理一下有關語言學上的問題。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAjkAqxExQ82
178Please respect copyright.PENANAB4DeP5sR40
「收到。」178Please respect copyright.PENANA4H5YAZCnDm
178Please respect copyright.PENANARpwAuFmKA4
隊員們馬上押住杜文豪,要把他帶離通訊室,他卻不肯順從,一輪拉扯之下,把隊員剛設好的器材給掃到地上。178Please respect copyright.PENANACCBaavnmbD
178Please respect copyright.PENANApLhKVYccWi
「洛爾!你這卑鄙小人,別再要人來陪葬。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAHb07Wo5DYF
178Please respect copyright.PENANA6xFeVFWUCO
「那又怎樣。」洛爾原來聽到他罵聲,馬上回應道:「人必有一死,成大事必須有所犧牲。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAqlhz6go7v9
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQBbwjTczs3
一番擾攘下,最後還是被人們用鎗指著,他才停了掙扎,隨即被拖了出去,繼續沿樓梯向著深處核心區出發。杜文豪被兩人左右脅持,雙腳根本沒有觸地的狀態下下著樓梯。178Please respect copyright.PENANAEgZcD1t3Fj
178Please respect copyright.PENANALnSqzjDfNI
「我自己會行!」他的雙臂以不尋常的姿態被壓住,麻痺感漸現,再次有所動作起來:「放開我!」178Please respect copyright.PENANAR1ixNd7k89
178Please respect copyright.PENANADPTOMoooum
「警告你別耍花樣!」隊員一邊脅持著他,一邊走著樓梯也是十分吃力的事情,於是放下了他,轉而用鎗指著他的後背:「繼續走!」178Please respect copyright.PENANAJNBPDA36X5
178Please respect copyright.PENANA1eRBxHV6t4
「當然不會⋯⋯」杜文豪他整理身上的衣服說著,便依順作戰隊員的話下著樓梯。178Please respect copyright.PENANAEnffsn3pnT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAChNkulaEup
他偷摸了一下自己的褲袋子,袋中竟藏著一部通訊器。原來剛才在通訊室中的一次擾攘中,趁混亂下,他將地上的通訊器給藏起來。178Please respect copyright.PENANArGUWUuvOLZ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAEoLozJIdOO
裝作若無其事的他,不知不覺便來到了樓梯的底部,身處於一條有半圓形拱頂的通道前,不遠處已經是一道緊閉的大鐵門。178Please respect copyright.PENANA8ctsCzkhiQ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmvBuomKhLK
兩名隊員首先到達門前,掏出裝置連接著鐵門的控制器,操控著裝置要準備打開門。178Please respect copyright.PENANAfoarhwdPp8
178Please respect copyright.PENANAUDmbrjPDSP
「要多久。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAD4tXbd24Al
178Please respect copyright.PENANAxLWaGwnWWN
「可能要十分鐘。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAHmKgZONz5E
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbKhFkhNjAp
「先帶他到控制室。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAgB61qS608l
178Please respect copyright.PENANA9aCJyc96D5
幾人帶著博士在路口前左拐,來到了另一個空間,這裡周圍都放滿一個個比人還要高的機器,有著形形色色不同種類的按鈕和數值顯示器。178Please respect copyright.PENANAniT5xcSj6x
178Please respect copyright.PENANAACAQxm0KEU
電力已經恢復的情況下,這些老舊的設備紛紛亮動起燈光,似乎正等待著人們的控制。178Please respect copyright.PENANArAcyt8ulOk
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhV5cUWCUxv
178Please respect copyright.PENANAKnUCV5S7A3
此時青墟上空出現幾輛直升機,降落在裂縫的旁邊。直升機剛觸地,機門便立即打開,各部機上都走下六七個人來,在空地前集合,等候著指示。178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4uQzM9GiB
178Please respect copyright.PENANAmxe38YVJfS
最後來到陣前的一名約三十多歲的男子,穿著綠色軍服,肩上繡上金色的飛龍圖案。他除下了墨鏡,一條疤痕從眼角延伸到面頰,黝黑的膚色流露出嚴肅的神態。178Please respect copyright.PENANANAjLHJUWKI
178Please respect copyright.PENANA4mOi7qRVYx
「我們到達青墟了,參謀。」男子透過通訊器呼叫道。178Please respect copyright.PENANARdorgYpVHP
178Please respect copyright.PENANAYozLWIKodA
「時間剛好,奕武將軍,可以開始行動。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAj5OfMMxPcl
178Please respect copyright.PENANASz8IDClyPa
「是的。」奕武回應後,將通訊器交予身邊的隨從,帶著眾人朝入口的方向跑去。178Please respect copyright.PENANAinpiqrNPPe
178Please respect copyright.PENANAA1b9oXfyBF
「嗞⋯⋯控制室小組⋯⋯天龍軍已經到達青墟,現時正在進入。」178Please respect copyright.PENANAJF80s2G7LJ
178Please respect copyright.PENANAJsUHUzxXbr
「收到了。」控制室內的人回應呼叫,杜文豪亦聽到了這一個消息後,頓感不安。178Please respect copyright.PENANArENtKEDoH5
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMZK6Wyo3db
突然一個箱子被人帶到他的面前,放到前方檯上去。這正是他在車上時,看到的那個箱子,一條鑰匙已經插在其中一邊匙孔內,正等待著天龍軍送來鑰匙。178Please respect copyright.PENANA3BAAacHmpF
178Please respect copyright.PENANAgCC5Iylf2O
「難道你們就不能把它鋸開嗎?為何非要等天龍軍來開鎖不可。」杜文豪問道。178Please respect copyright.PENANAmFzHXeDDFv
178Please respect copyright.PENANAQTasyeYhw1
「這方面你不需知道!」178Please respect copyright.PENANAXVIJixCPQh
178Please respect copyright.PENANArRzXEursAt
「那你能否告訴我要做甚麼呢?」178Please respect copyright.PENANAq4oyQLl1kT
178Please respect copyright.PENANAenFEL0yDOT
「這是你要做的事情。」一份文件扔到他的面前。178Please respect copyright.PENANA2FntKPIzMF
178Please respect copyright.PENANAMFvzLnxWZg
他打開文件逐行細閱,但是愈看,心裡的問題也愈來愈多:「為何要將產生的混沌困在裡面,甚麼東西會產生混沌?你們究竟要幹甚麼?」178Please respect copyright.PENANATrHkjfoAVv
