球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl1YBVIVvS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7LlUdr97X
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQJdRNKmCg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYac3lD1uO
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Xs9EQNae
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iZz7dAVqH
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJaZzI5ZkM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFKwstj1yb
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bi4Sr5hUN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rrRf1Dnq
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBijgfGN7Zj
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XVmNmWY8c
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFtWOfw2EE
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfC7KSAAg6
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ApacCtjlx
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccCfTQdSd2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW935BCXZA
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjAxupUNXQ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M2D8ZUeEb
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXASWMxEkzs
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdAmgIMQqf
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5AO8vJUKf
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnSrS92mpv
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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5YOiMV3qN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtkqX93iDL
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkYjIPxbv7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsP4go3Q5q
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaPlNRqktK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOLqKtmya
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8tUWl6Q68
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSq3orvQQ5
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6oRBi5Gr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N0J8lnOy1
「還有人跟你一夥？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nx97SmUrg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGovVFoJmn2
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewjlFIiNOa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLdXjVtqa
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG8Hy7z6TS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCYFVuEOKG
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEAXq29SBI
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDng6GA1SDY
「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！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSqa8mRFQD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4w3QFDTJd
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7C9ZVkZNe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfrYQkDpN
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08VkvS5ISe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp95qITnQX
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtLNxt4ndl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1vB7rCv0K
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0GiV0LXj7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0pQ1A8460
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbViWGlcQJB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECZgUIsGX6
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm8FGYWUrO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSx1JNYVfT
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLgaZH6KbL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK5dTfboDe
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze4jd3ZNK7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKtKi8eIgS
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLLLleADC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wXoXr2TJj
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P3n57uoL4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Dk1aj1gV
「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……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8ThABxiU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkCz6q31jP
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTaasTV4N
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObKoPwDa19
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfUhFtZzz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTEKlgYJQe
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXQOjqHWg
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOxu3Z7UCr
「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……」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjPoSk7xq7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQeaE8GDMQ
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xvantqleV
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64InfT2xO
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllZU3keFJx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3TiU2ze25
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hMwLsoVXy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BZaEH2IlT
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVwXQPfYZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt4VZRganf
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuvRm73TYV
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BUeQLsYYN
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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3yKb8E71O
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67j6icYVc
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLGlAAePC4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBKmTarPfK
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7sXYK70TL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9tZfvyNpU
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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BZslxZrUr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHDnxdB1fB
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1Irn0BIS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEx6TSbrx
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47V0s8B4TX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZlFvNQnNs
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX2rZlhF8x
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08st7McSKb
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GmADepz4B
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYxxJiqHNQ
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyUpb9YtD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwmAZqvM7L
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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaotzoaClET
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8yIikZWVh
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg5OjIlLb2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvuI3gLfJv
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHIn5sDPc0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH043fDMaF
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI32LxLn37
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzMZXF5FF
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFaMKbdIPH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqD7GEuwS
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZln43t0g
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHibM2N2E
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DIpsTtydC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17IJFZ6EJZ
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhC2E66Yas
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstRy8mqjQj
「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！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwfVrmY6Yx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfraG94RDKG
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70dQU2nas
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQeoPnyzwu
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkd0mDRsG1

「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo0i9FKvLW

「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPdpMlcw4X
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oHkx9P6PR
「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？」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7BQq6ly4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfy3U8S1tg
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0BBJlAVY
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1zcQMtf5c
「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。」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWRvncq4EW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9oLikBZci
「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！」428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb8Ax1jxGX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xx4cRsNoC
「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。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BPeJtcD5k
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu1nMipzb4
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dcJ6Su4LQ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfd4cOjoLf
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkddzD1vkZK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf41dzOh6B
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSdapYWvab

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
