球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLlywrYmT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJFTP5GH8F
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYbHqwi5QO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfholQ1g5B
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdnCsKBRhN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9y3l5zWl
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QFQK0dZP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3L8V2VDX7
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1CX7r4Uc3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3v48n0bsy
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYcMkfOzfT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXGnQLeEz1
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2INEqHSKjF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB96uphgX3
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJxgAjaNTp
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFYImcM7k
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirmLKKJwIZ
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23WYcNN1W5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxaBq7JVhd
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rkaf5jnIp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe88SxUXz3
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOACNFmcEfh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrId5bYA4tA
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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wBPddhO6Q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeZ3gR2lX
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPzndGrgMe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO6KLq1ecm
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UyAjevve2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9beaf4Dmu
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgbepUOlBd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H8QTRNcES
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAX3XUwQY3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcVkgcnHv0
「還有人跟你一夥？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhFdyqjtC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDTDbgCjei
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLi2tIgN6Z
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPGKSisckL
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAfj0u7ddh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzrnfuHZbh
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUyj5NuD3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSj4pH2Anj
「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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7sT9mhnCS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcidXzT3TcC
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x0XUuHSSc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ80zhoF9b
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsOTKzhzmf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ4eTaXhtC
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0BZAeIvlW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlCO28Wnm
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV0Y8TH8S0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kv1CZO4OB
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08hqtQnlFD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6kIf5yIeq
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTit01Qg5l
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXilDryuB
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtvJLhF3td
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsywFSrEDm
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPGroCYZS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ob90HBVO
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n9SGVIk8q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgbrRKx5t
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwtHICOMwX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hryWkuZOX
「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……」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYAG1m2Zp6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE09HTk83l
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6H2X3hTGN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvsSwfonbk
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrSajkAQf3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlR9LZBkMd
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7hPsrJZY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSbjGFiPgS
「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……」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPZN9TgWMd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVMqPXYBlL
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Nv0nXO2y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptiwYPTnQ
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeW7bv8QRI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccMRGatuAh
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSyUUvW2qM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmGu3v2dXR
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkbHLuGXo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4qBbyy3sa
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppcll6py6d
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFfqB8kt6
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3YpHSINli
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeFBb9WYNI
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMlrCgjgtS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N2InWTV3d
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH1Z1EAi1T
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKs4pArCl
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXIj80bHVf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Yb8zyP8N
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE3D5x2fcx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda4aeP3ZX7
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVxNqd0Bo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRZVIxXIqb
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdKrsaGk5R
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SK3xh6X0M
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM3m2ratxx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wTkpFiGVx
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX8NvHbMU3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiVb4TTqOq
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SAMeawdQJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxyEErGdMS
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveErYigg3V
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCxRE8iw5i
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxnB8Xmgsi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdUBPLX7z
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT0xrmdH4S
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHeU1HBOm
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslA4eB4Iup
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRRxoTozu7
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p8I7Fa7G5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WMnaFfBIv
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXdokXUoJn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCewdl6kH0Z
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37xDhZMiHP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Aa7bjn37
「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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdgLKwyIj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt6vS5jc85
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ78eSXAUEj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzugVqx2eq
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtss9hBdF9Q
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrdocsz0U
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEEUTmCdM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSiaffJqVQ
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtMl1SxiaE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2TUAfNCu7
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHTxt8rBRF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcf8TjPo6c
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGtntzl5ho
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mVt2fnU0
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFifaN0hJM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MHlpcppYy
「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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2A6ohGRte
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhiMqpgmdi
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5gmzaugXd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymKMTzHHPo
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeO54Piaim
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrypnDisH
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIK5cPvqGq
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5gv1VHvRM
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvT4h5ktHn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv7wrkkBVn
「我們做得到。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhAEXOgL6G
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCcUKzG4Vq
五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
