球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePQ1rzwJfJ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmykDbkOmh
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽，只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐，為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauNikk7SRu
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpx8jPQmyj
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWs1akd51t
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc6XuVA2FM
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzinERUv7Vp
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVO0CSlGpT
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vAjVSGhDC
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG5HkvfdPZ
雪白建材散發莊嚴，三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外，看到人們手牽手走進設施，幸福地笑著。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYbAUazd98
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcsQPZEoBA
「都是老人？」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察，突然，朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ePGK6Y3Kf
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AQNCJDzar
不用害怕，不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來，出生就知道這天會來。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh7GtpxHO9
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jcCGE6Bxd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DbmEktD2t
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句，用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目，早就被完美音頻觸動內心。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoALAdxzFB
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXraNbKwXQ
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑，不像其他圓頂同胞。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NkHg278dx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeIHzQSb0z
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuGxEUPqa6
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70F8lT86yM
車輛遠離人群，嘉娜莉坐起身來，「那種景象，我在資料庫看過，『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxICE9ICgff
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gzkSrNr5H
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzqAlycee
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDk81jKWUr
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳，嘲笑少年的無知，「沒什麼好擔心，我們有機體，還有幫手。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlCkO0MNf
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqQF3RnXlN
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoOOIx2JKi
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKeV3W654y
機械語音傳出儀錶板，眾人還在疑惑時，車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上，隔絕了外界的光線。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZPSznQnQv
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha41jK64TL
「還有人跟你一夥？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp79MGLbfJ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzkkrBaoT
引擎熄滅，齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動，舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件，還有複雜管線四處攀附。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rhc2ObYpn
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdbHdLWKoc
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近，一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小，兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gNHZdJHux
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ufe8TKU1
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwAVHGdfs
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcldBnrq8bw
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子，拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友，「我們的求救訊號真的有用，帶大家了解一下狀況吧！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQ4jOgF24
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VBe8QSKjF
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛，跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRcfLjyNDI
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUyEA4s68Y
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzBpCr0qwQ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliv33dCABj
「L2，圓頂到底是什麼地方？」齊波移開沉重零件，找到空間坐下，「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gx8SNI3FZ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsp0AQgfKS
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ImuaqDLbF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZDgtuUWd
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSQGtsd8y4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun0JZSpjwf
「我稱之為：人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到，所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgGYbgZbmi
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297PoqFepg
「對，好像沒有那個東西，就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZifCQFPkv
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nt9BoyUmj
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭，電子雙眼看來有點自責。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqSBIxLb2B
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqe7QDLIcG
「為每一位居民客製化，藉由基因資訊與數據學習，把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDuAG5G1Se
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQPx4VI10Z
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制，更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收，塔格率先打破沉默。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0hdRpD5P
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRuN5LcKP
「父母由電腦湊合，出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前，睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡，全都要看占卜決定，而且我還甘之如飴……」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3GfYw6it
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeXL7JYumi
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41CRMqeWU9
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrUMOw4j5
「對，我們什麼時候死亡，也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間，那就是他的餘命。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmM6PZq6yE
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkgQfVoaHC
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZUCyhdIb
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV93TPrXV27
「自由？我不清楚那是什麼，」塔格轉身打開暗門，波紋的倒影映照在牆上，「我反抗的原因，都在這裡……」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0CHNbQm7j
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MWPZR2RUP
長方體水缸佔據暗房，強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體，一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣，在裡面載浮載沉。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8De9PWJS
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh7nXyL4mC
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線，輕聲走向水缸，當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時，那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLwHlLjvAx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwJIbJIizZ
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTT0b6NQps
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZSFCAt0h6
齊波看著水中雙眸，感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩，對水缸比出向上的手勢。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmagLgKEBZ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JOBZNvb89
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOCdD8gHhn
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcs9qdC0x6
孩童浮出水面，露出興奮笑容，「對不起，我一天只能離開一小時，明天再跟大家握手。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CiqTbglgd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qEK1f7azi
「保持體力，很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手，隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MsHAGtiqQ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFqg0xtvNr
「這位孩子也是實驗產物，基因缺陷，造成內臟骨質脆弱，無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhWNcvO6S4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jodw3wFiC
房門關上，L2補充說明，「但是，溫柔的塔格找到我，我找到方法駭入系統，隱藏他們的資料，也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXiXwa7Rwz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqSloyb4NV
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環，上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後，艾卡的生命就會終止。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVsPkB54f
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTQ88jAuz
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望，我需要你們的幫助，你們是從宇宙來的，沒錯吧？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bRtT3JpE
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLHGgPkc6u
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果，是他學到的教訓，「艦長……您覺得呢？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEI5NpZBtG
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde0eAw02XE
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人，要怎麼奪回船艦？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvFxB9294S
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGMq21iIjc
「哈！我們等這麼久了，當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部，在天花板上照出圓頂地圖，「交通路線塔格很熟，問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制，必須進入核心主機才能干預。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN0SPwrKvK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjdJtwrNK3
地圖顯示，圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物，俯瞰著整座城市。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ADALHzIAT
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYPsCNB0vc
「核心就在那裡，要先搶回太空船才能上去，」塔格接著說，「改寫系統，關閉無人機，我們就可以安全到宇宙。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFO4b1T5V8
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPMB3BOLP4
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去？」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺，「不能從這裡直接修改系統？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbx8Tjx7El
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMAkL7B5zX
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙，交給努那駕駛員。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRHc8YAMte
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN3io0fStd
「這是……飛輪球賽？」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說：「真不像這裡的風格。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZUnrGkB9K
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2bO7akZZL
「沒錯！五天後，就是一年一度的競技典禮，這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件！」L2晃動金屬爪子，做出跑步姿勢。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkSbPMj2u
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJkwcTb6oD
「朵魅發現，人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』，腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽，占卜系統不會介入，什麼事都有可能發生，所以，朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJfmd4qvBG
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPjBt79v0f
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LGkYWjnDU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhy24lKg4R
「不用贏，」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理，「只要轉移注意力，把衛兵都引開領航者號！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhir0jlE1D
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xtyfPst8a
「正確，我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽，超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額，要登錄誰呢？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtF5WSYFv
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHYfcXeq3D
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJv4b8wUIX

「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH442BISoTI

「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK0DYZiCWX
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4025iLxZx
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員，」艾嘉恢復了一些信心，「L2，進入系統之後，能幫我找到特定居住者嗎？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cK10zvh8M
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLv7iGP7je
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rv66nFsyU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnBOUcs3Xf
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥，輕拍雙頰打起精神，「五天後奪回領航者號，解放圓頂同胞，然後，上宇宙面對D。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYryj7MSMZW
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3rKAZol5P
「把手疊在我的上面，這是古代的激勵方法！」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手，「我們做得到！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbst6vzVY0Z
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkBLFcEB5H
「我白天要照常工作，艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意，高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8VfK5BVgs
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOfGM1H7sx
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7OYgGuSIe
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw6z0UaoDO
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Quy88NwQL
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCJ32atlhG
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWel3TQuTP

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
