等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FrB0xaejE

「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPubWjNk5
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M3N0fTGFg
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q93ediXeZ
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nFSJT6wUr
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb1SI0gB8h
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxq1XhBhgS
「我好了，接下來呢？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JqBJHBLED
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa7zlR7dS3
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLNqtu2e54
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd9e34EwBd
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms15MMYOAb
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPxdimPUd0
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmOZxrQWiO
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zkh3la11O
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJaOQRvHe0
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSk5MiPFkL
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF7QNas2iq
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9cT5f06Bf
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcmpi480Vq
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Pxp0t9kh
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOsArSJArb
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3pWmtx9M
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsl9h63nqR
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6EPrGgEX
「他們…死了？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVO66LIfov
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Z8MEnqiq
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVbiwyl36y
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nR7HjI7Nh
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh5l8geOZv
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKI6JXBdJn
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkqM9JBOjh
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQHUrliVv
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroiDl7H5HC
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q39VdROCp
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFeVmcXdVa
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RbWOmMtc
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEqrFk9sso
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVr8lLP1Nu
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ85hiZ5ss
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81N8MTmH5o
「啊！幹！」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO6whHa15e
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTxm1doyvK
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamhNH0rOz9
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWiebS6RRp
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzID90HbGfm
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WWG0S3K7q
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TDTcm8OHu
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA96KwKbgWH
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIn8d7bbRl
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLpRWH7swO
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7N6ugt1G
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YMolD76i
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d6uQlnnd2
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrAMEQFLj1
「我要可是……」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOUX8DpSq
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUZ8oF2wWM
「賽博，聽他的……」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQjsGVAVRj
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp70aW3ANC
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrhEqndw5
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi8E7CVIUU
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn2QQfEop9
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGd9GXBRTT
「……………」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhNXx4cNy
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDtNCiAT2T
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPgtLQrDUZ
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO4QE8A2qZ
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfgfKr7x8h
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95mQ9mXzmo
老人瞇著眼看著我94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgF6i5tuaU
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMJIkccBOy
「我也不知道。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KCHz8cp1l
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcycwL8mRg
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY36l5WGqY
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYnF9nZta
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguSgEGbZLC
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1QtfJM5q
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUszor6GJA
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZhqrbJHV
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVRuepzRas
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS2ovEfUqw
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYTG359xmz
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Zm9iZs42
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRYZGtJb2l
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo52o6ruHw
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfpWMQrdkk
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbLnJVdb9o
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneAPzplt28
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB1mKBEHE8
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
