球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YI7gfVwaj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e7n5HQ1lE
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIaAxue3Dh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pq424nZgf
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xvxiWSA6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIjJsh8yNQ
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntLmF4IBXP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYldkOw55
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUOals83gY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkf4nKZQF6
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjYHVuPIZK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3dlu6bNcS
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AqFFWkTv0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGTji6PnEd
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWnT9SmS8C
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2uKHxKkW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjm2Hq4yY
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQyKgEqhaQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzdjgIWZpO
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnzfU6bQrD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUmthhRB1
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2S4DxgdPp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EsySKrp4
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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGnGukiN2h
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5o6B3T1F
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzyon9NyYI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFF4bK6IMT
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyupuqxvEG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJndEgxLaQK
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJCp35P864
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1l8ab6xL6
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPO07zPBI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSymi7Tc0N
「還有人跟你一夥？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqj4SCGfq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWdTmE5bFE
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun1t5F31dW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jOWGGegiq
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3KF0DWBaz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6WyPaGX6v
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmjyXbXPyS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGZeIOjO6E
「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！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4sOoMZwTw
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg28jH9PIUS
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJekgIJv2h
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS1SLqE2Oz
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh4Ek7siZ0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy5AhHggOb
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaS6juvDJH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAC19xyzIs
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLKYYbMWN3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE4p2aVbb9
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKBSDZO2a
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9YWCZSRUE
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZVaC6No8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1vUlG5SQF
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVg1kreQIP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUyzwXDe6s
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51kwWor8Lq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbo9klMo4n
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKtaReVizU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeDPbXre9X
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJDIxa1AK8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT7QlE8YHq
「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……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRETO5udxq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1jq9xmt3y
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu7rZGt53J
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYJAPURzJN
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5waZlVcvpc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVP0FmaDzf
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq6R1TRE4m
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXzQTbFEm
「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……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2HRBuSQ5c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxftLKjKi0
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiug11WC3S7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrxRHTypji
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUR8X8n3Y
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ0CCaQnkX
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA3Jly7WpY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmlEJqQaz2
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SqJ3RYuH4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKczzzaRo7P
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4eCgaqX6w
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxthwOm4zJ
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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zkTeK248Q
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxeCPLUJbO
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43b58ibJeT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuZFqYdixQ
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJwH4UQU9S
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMbhO7NVoD
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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uGbpV7FdO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHX7JmPqNe
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6DhKs5iWx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1ucnvfxD
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2VA9hsS21
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTGfWMRdM8
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92C8seaaVR
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjbDlubmqr
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFOyr7QXRp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBnVvzHlY9
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1YGh1tk2p
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyBusSIePa
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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyu6xX8cQv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAzPDa1qzK
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WimJhOU5T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq5svqKaC2
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MX46fJg8Z
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2sMgMFNXB
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSznL3YLzH6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PyL8ZpqrZ
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlFXCQYD6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmvZFsMdqq
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIKaucx3fs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhCs0pfvsD
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWHb07l6JH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CO7Q8QAaq
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr9byUJkJv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UyWoZFRtn
「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！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ092JSOaw0m
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVjUmfXuw0
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNOFuzhSin
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5YZ9hjGkc
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8vd6P5Q5U
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW9vFTJHad
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRADjK6QAXs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPOz6Xvhi
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iJZ7TfC5d
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Ni9zHTdv
「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？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcIyTHrnOr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EtAOeWMTQ
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GnTaYHXU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVlsZb7zBT
「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。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt5RHllGQi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhMTliMRhb
「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！」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDZb6DdEC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDXiadPdy
「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。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqruenxefMu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBkwHlaGI
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIer82vP2UG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsovdDJx4EC
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTr8d71aXZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3UJ1VcQl
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LbxeYaoN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBvTtNwYX8
「我們做得到。」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX5tOUHSiN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJMPCSYm2
五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
