「這樣就包紮好了，要記得這幾天別讓傷口碰到水。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLAOMPnibB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLajOsYjxM
在替我受傷的手掌套上了網狀繃帶後，梳著西裝髮型的森叔再三叮嚀起應該要注意的事項。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWxxeKJJl6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T6doJpr1f
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcQi6uToPG
「……嗯。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyu5OcqGIg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3rbqSPPu7
「用不著擔心葛城老師的事情，村長已經派大家去搜索周圍了，相信最晚到了明天就會有結果了。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaZuDknyKB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjFAR0KV2
大概是注意到我無精打采的樣子才會這麼說吧。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kl8CeNrhy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteahjgvvlU
身為村裡唯一的醫生，森叔一直都非常關心對我們這些從小看到大的孩子。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy697F6OpF3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP9WCqACPw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg4UQLaETB
「可是……」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJaUJEeedX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV46DNoam1
事情得從我逃離那個怪物以後說起。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nTzF4uf7v
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfamoRXL6Ul
好不容易在跌跌撞撞的情況下衝到派出所裡面，驚醒正昏昏欲睡的老員警後，我帶著村裡面聚集起來的長輩們一同返回出事的地點。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgqQyEWM4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOvvh3bQKa
然而，就在到達那裡以後，等待著我們的只有我在慌忙之中所遺留下的書包而已。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHnKwKHecF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGiaOBSJZX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3JkgcPOd
其餘的什麼都沒有。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdnuJFJoyF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jk5bTK7Oj
沒有那怪物，當然也沒有葛城老師的蹤影。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418WgDikXK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjkdbatjDj
更令人難以置信的是，不論是掉落在地上的殘肢，甚至噴濺了一地的鮮血，所有能夠證明那怪物存在過的跡象都憑空消失。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKflR8VxSAH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT1fFvIazF
一切就像是從未發生過似地，只有一陣接著一陣的風雨不斷地掃過街燈所照亮的地面。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefTRsta6Wa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0oXy3qyFZ
唯一成為事實的只有葛城老師離奇消失這件事。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVOSdSARtN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3RckT7p3D
不管大家找遍了整個村子附近，都還是無法找到他的身影，這也是我最後得知的消息。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpubFKdtziB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDicgO5Cvfv
接下來，等我回過神來的時候，人就已經在森叔的診所這裡進行治療。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1RwOLyXL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxAcoACOd1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh7v0E19Z2
「無論如何，妳能沒事就好。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJj2wMDFj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjMPcfRchJ
不知道為什麼，森叔相當激動地緊緊握住我的雙手。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8JWGBSWhc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1E7lSm1OW
我垂下臉盯著包覆著米白色紗布的手掌和膝蓋，而傷口像是在提醒我那份真實感似地，仍不斷傳來燙熱的刺痛感。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hg8fr3m6c
就在這時候，診察室外面傳來了急促的腳步聲。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EySlKErbM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDSoiOIeza
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88BY0w5OTB
「來夏─！」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1XJ5zmMj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6WpV6UVC9
匆匆忙忙拉開門的人是耕一，而穗香隨後也氣喘呼呼地從他身後出現。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEb93hY1Vy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9a0zf0Tjm
大概是很急著趕過來的吧，他們兩個的瀏海都因為淋濕而顯得有些凌亂不堪，褲管也都是濕答答的。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKY0I7900h
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBSBR5HrvQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi6sjciS2l
「耕一……穗香……」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecqcT3mmR7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwG3Rk5zMo
感到安心的瞬間，眼淚突然就噗哧噗哧地流了下來。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjigY8kmZTL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7peCALIoM
被我這樣子給嚇到的耕一，似乎將原本想說的話給吞了回去，任由跟著流淚的穗香詢問著我身體的狀況。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasFLFpxImL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNpoiTPh9x
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXCu717Opa
「小夏……怎麼會這麼嚴重，手都包成這個樣子，很痛嗎？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LNxfDOQGT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4DsPgCHOE
「我不要緊，只是跌倒的擦傷而已，反倒是葛城老師他……」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCPIryHip
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8toRoEYVa
「嗯，我們知道，森叔已經在電話裡都跟我說過了。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrLV90jApr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iyP2wBBEI
由於森叔交代過先別引起不必要的恐慌，因此耕一所得到的資訊，大概就是我們被熊襲擊而已。雖然欺騙並非我的本意，但我也能理解森叔目前的顧慮。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDorKgs0s6o
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwB58no0wi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFQWyBm8vd
「時間也不早了，現在先讓來夏回去休息吧，有消息我會馬上聯絡妳們。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbiqnzsAmX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqyruUBqEh
我再次向森叔點頭道謝後，在穗香的陪同下步出了診療室。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomx5P1KmM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZwDILkSUa
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyYVCz5o0S
「對了，耕一。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXFXrUk95
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zcbWjooS
然而，在我們離開之前，森叔突然出聲叫住了正準備拉上門的耕一。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb4dGLpo4C
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNWg04YVej
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HuhuXLYVh
「今天的那個就先延後吧，這陣子可能會比較忙，時間的話……哎，過陣子再找時間吧。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9spBMDKgfF
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BgKae0OjY
「我知道了，那麼就先告辭了。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2K4c6nvhv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBSQf4BjmN
耕一向著燈光充足的診療室裡面行了一禮，接著關門跟了上來。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLi8USRJo
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj297b04wGn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Cnnr0KkC
「耕一……你和森叔今天有約嗎？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ntiG7Of5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WI3EGfNpF
「算是吧，但不是什麼重要的事情。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqdNAj29lV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloIOntP5Cg
對於我的提問，耕一似乎沒有想要回答的意思，大概真的如他所說不是很重要吧。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeozzE4Zab
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudxfh0yJjS
外面的雨下得很大，再加上走廊並沒有開燈的緣故，在聽覺和視覺雙雙受到干擾的限制下，我們彼此都不發一語地穿越長長地木造走廊。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK5Qrkm6E8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZenwcd3jB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VypmQWSDJ
「小夏，那個……那邊走過來的好像是村長。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVscYywPZG
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoBlIy9D90
等到我們在門口準備撐傘的時候，穗香拉了拉我的衣角。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCk3JX74SV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79nj2HpzL
遠遠就看到滂沱的雨勢中有兩個披著深色簑衣的人影走了過來，就如同穗香所說的，是我們神命村的村長和他身旁的助理。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBqmDyxrkD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhtnSGa6Oq
年紀約莫七十多歲的村長留著長至喉結的灰色鬍鬚，一隻眼睛因為白內障而呈現混濁不清，滿是皺紋的臉上總是維持著冷峻的表情，是村人們都相當敬畏的存在，尤其是身為晚輩的我們，不巧遇到的話只有低頭行禮的份。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2nbDveyn0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzm1DD5p2C
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabA0KoeBKn
「村長好。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYlxuTLTFI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0lXXEvjiP
我趕緊將眼角的淚痕擦了擦，經過如同往常般不被理睬的行禮，村長和助理逕自往診所內走去。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGmcGkTZv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cAFqrnop8
然而，不知道自己的是不是錯覺，在抬起臉的瞬間，似乎和那蟲類般無機質的視線交錯而過。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRQNgES9sz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmEohOOl2
「村長他……剛剛是不是瞪了小夏一眼啊？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q03wJrEVm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQslXcS2bP
「別亂說話。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrITYYW6ls
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIfrQCETuk
在耕一不悅地指正穗香的同時，我望著身後那兩件簑衣漸漸沒入走廊盡頭的黑暗中。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB1tiH6GWc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKEiWSWxxC
◇352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Bcfueg07
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcouX5WWw
「那麼，我先陪來夏回去拿她的東西，穗香妳就先幫她放點熱水吧。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2bG1kLog
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ciQ3G6HL
途中在經過穗香家的時候，耕一罕見地像這樣主動交待著。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3SHgcGYiQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v5icAshsk
而一向聽他話的穗香自然只有默默點頭的份，我在將整個淋濕的書包先交給她以後，和耕一一人一把傘並肩走在渠道旁的碎石子小路上。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgljJPEYe
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC9qji0AIZ
傾盆的毫雨沒有任何減緩的跡象，遠方的景色皆瀰漫著濃密的雨霧。耕一在走了一小段路後停下腳步，望了望四周確定沒有人以後，以稍微大過雨聲的音量問起我來。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mHJaH2pYb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVb92Q1dh0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsA2SRYFyH
「來夏，襲擊妳跟葛城的到底是什麼東西？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BGapev9Eu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB71GrMFK1h
那是相當冷靜地，彷彿任何謊言都能看穿的眼神，他果然早就發現了吧。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImNnGx3hQp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fqMIQiuLb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMl3TAts1O
「還有，為什麼這麼晚了妳還跟葛城在外面，我希望妳能將一切都老實地對我說。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9st5auY9eK
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqNv5fzUyf
「……把穗香支開就是這個原因嗎？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUXSOwp9sU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2p5j9wJEc
「嗯，以她的個性最好什麼都不要知道比較好，而我這邊希望了解事情的全貌，才能知道有沒有幫得上妳的忙。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQzbr1RztC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fUfDAqyE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfCnj0SMzM
「也是……如果是耕一你的話，應該會相信吧……」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITuqe9E4cB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQhSV22Nc
於是，我將那在不久前發生的，完全不符常理的經過都告訴耕一。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEsMxpbJg0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6hfqHB6PS
體育倉庫的事、遇到怪物的事，甚至葛城老師在我面前被殺害的細節，毫無保留地全都讓他知道。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a50vryo9a
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf4rPqS2I6
只是最後……明明毫無根據，卻讓我不得不確信的那個，從那時候起就讓我一直猶豫該不該說出口。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vtOBPZz5X
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3G9FBIHm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeCS9AeAoU
「不得不確信？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34tOQ6MsWU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFujWrhu4M
在耕一的追問之下，我才吞吞吐吐地透漏。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew2tcLwsOA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO9v4MqcZS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qTVoqnbg
「那個怪物……真的……很像冬笑。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEd5lcrAjQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ8uzUaTsY
當時那佇立在原地看著我的模樣，和死去的冬笑簡直一模一樣。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHwlvjvh7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2BLwzJI1l
太過荒誕的想法，我先前並沒有讓大人們知道，不然他們肯定會認為我在精神狀況上出了什麼問題。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWnx83wRoU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq41wVZ2a6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9VMgCsIDM
「很像──冬笑嗎。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MxfnaqBy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRjwpB12d
在這之前一次都沒有停頓過的耕一也不得不思索起來。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHI7r4DWqV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8hzzrVqpK
那也是當然的吧，不管是誰，在聽到與不應出現在此的死者牽扯上關係，都會多少質疑那其中的合理性。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQ21Ihh3e
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8kUTKkzqi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRRStQqCo
「我知道聽起來很奇怪，但是耕一……你會相信我吧？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnmFuzlmD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlOtZQF1Wb
「沒什麼好質疑的，畢竟說是開玩笑也太超過了。只是關於最後妳所說的讓我有點在意……但既然沒有攻擊妳的意思，難道冬笑的目的是要回來復仇嗎？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRVBLozSbw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWbynSkm0i
「我不知道。但冬笑就算憎恨村子，也沒有任何要報復村子的理由，更何況也不可能只針對葛城老師──」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYx1RR5PT5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcfc3vXH52
「不，那還很難說吧。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb5qQtAyOz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemuKecR3kZ
「什麼……意思？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJUUBrYovO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGnwSjTqbH
周遭的雨聲彷彿突然停止了一樣。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWs9qeJTfm
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ70qLM86Q
明明是耕一極小聲地自言自語，一字一句在我耳裡聽起來卻格外地清晰。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5A9eihps1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCdsn0T8fX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTETstAAd85
「怎麼了？突然擺出那種吃到蟲子似的表情。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6iKmvltX1
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUY0rKjQh4
「我在問你是什麼意思……為什麼你會認為冬笑找葛城老師復仇是很正常的事情？」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSO0vfsLKU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyyW0TmgMu
「啊……抱歉，是我不好，能先當作沒聽到嗎，因為還不到能說的時候。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqjW7Rrlzk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a1iNnvg0M
「怎麼可能當作沒聽到啊！！」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqye4PfqA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEipKMPWqk
我雙手用力地抓住耕一的肩膀，彼此的雨傘雙雙掉落到地上。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW5jfomqVb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnQJIBP2i
陷入了無聲的沉默。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUERdgJVl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYpLT6HPy
我們的身體就這樣任憑雨水無情地拍打，不到幾秒的時間，撐傘這個行為就變得一點意義都沒有。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvNFTpNiJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviVE3DGVA5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJklcMLcIn
「……我只是推論而已，還沒有決定性的證據。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9oCCzU5K
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDFE7baza7
臉頰上的水滴滑動。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8VGofyhDg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5NV33p2cH
耕一像是犯錯的孩子似地別了開臉，而我則是加重了手指的力道示意他繼續說下去。352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gzpMt5Cz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpHPmX3N1L
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3quWd3wCZk
「因為我認為──殺死冬笑的人就是葛城。」352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK45EeiJ1g
