球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxD6OOl95L
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPn8FlPSSB
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuMRE8YgcW
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsXjgQ9yz
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqZZ4noNVg
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EJQwoLRMl
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu82PrhYvI1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVsES5PNZ
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFBTzYXKMX
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB102ehKoMv
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NMBXFzsb
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm02ClybZJ
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHsIwEPJj
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkuKnfJAjI
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuEM3h3YNq
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLiSzVEWPf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7lHvHhBsX
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWSEfRtT0
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRuQTgfuDz
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTPkTIuyLi
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltVJHFf07
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5iQ0jhU2R
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUxbaWXqWy
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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTcSfPT7fg
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv7rykutHZ
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMR14AFv7Q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qRx0VGc8H
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieN8EnhLlD
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSstJ4kPwa
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiUPdRit3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXMFP2HY3
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7EIO2pbwj
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq09uEgCI86
「還有人跟你一夥？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yatbsiXdw
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWH4DQb9uo
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot6TsLHFL2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUReUpVqKS
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YO99GxZvL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFNM4dkObH
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr9FV3QuTG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgH9rhGLci
「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！」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rGRAu1yh
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHPy6uLSyl
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewVhD5qPA
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cCO3nY4yH
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhE3sJpjj
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7treHM7tl
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Gp6p4UPJ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLoJLoI7d5
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrd27fsYML
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZ2MgqV1o
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsDfZF9V5i
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp7EEy3skr
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZBW0zHo14
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgV1dmTlav
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Ehgd18vr
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYbeGHKuUC
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXlGa9Co8
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7wX2BsBLU
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d2XZVUt0g
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5QTYsiwx0
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFUAuCpj82
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQoWEEnn4
「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……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38n0tEz3A1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnWIypjDub
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ66aWvLs7s
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYgVUEooEV
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuGyXKmDWI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3LhY7fw94
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMdCKR5fu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6tzTiD05
「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……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2SgmNNs7z
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGHAN7lbj1
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb15bh20fH4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAD8h2yBHS
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNId59lkaf0
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aE1nQlGDm
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHn3Ulh6A
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zmZYMIcIG
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcGlga2b4I
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFfoguG0W
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Fb3s441f
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNuP78oLg7
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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizPTeHX03Q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIbONJT6cb
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyCXr9XXtE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9emRgrZNdX
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bzgp2YbsI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDBtcBvSq
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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYvJGvgGCP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJknSLlPpb
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1397R2c3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaknJjIX9t
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdbS5E2uZM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRRpAr5FlX
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFDPyqaXCq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtkWMw9HnK
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn2gTXencf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh4nCvacsY
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXlBnvQ8ay
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07D9d24bOg
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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDCelcRWUm
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJoFQhlXF
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbke5g8NV5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcnoE36z72
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPGCtWoQ0
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehFPlZT0nj
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcg6H4sVW9
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGxVbcofTe
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5u87Y8Rgk
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa9d3wjuLL
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kvSbpXSbT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTN7f2WcO
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XwiRnVFSC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMGQ72evEN
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2UZuPIxBY
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiqCe5eHQo
「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！」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qMJrfiNGC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9m3pJD8bM
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSKMLO8QLz
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p9ZSbWPkB
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDx5Jhf5Rd

「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhHqIRleJL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ1YoJ9FlB
「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？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUohX3Xam
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNYk5A8dt2
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiqnOTRgh
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLVl81KpAO
「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。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr2MOdvtfK
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZnC3692P

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk6TVSbfcF
「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。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w6nYX8IfE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRtSnsMhtv
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiksfLENCBH

「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRk4ypK8T

細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cHHD3i8no

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
