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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP5L3TQlqU
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNXMJDy5a7
「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。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LuPKLgpLr
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3vzbdUGaZ
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQqbEJivC4
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nVsLFd8ZI
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IetDXRjnN
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJm9iw8eEy
「我好了，接下來呢？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3praq3JiWM
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV438w8wBr
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8yeN470q
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXDXHyODQb
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJbLHncW7r
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepjGv15pp1
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjxKnOTaj
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwCTWmOxw2
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3V9nODfFM
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZUBrJYYzc
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsBTnDfd3w
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuoZ6d0TVy
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHxnEjeTlu
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4LkXsuQH
「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？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMT5fJIhJj
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSf6f0gAHn
「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……」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMOokS5Ei
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2RpevEvj
「他們…死了？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bvgcr1KOK
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGpD1M4QPB
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeOLLIVaFN
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqh2m5MZAg
「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。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPqv84Zpq9
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceGJnDSkjq
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjTy4d1J3
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMNOjjQVBH
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnqm390MwU
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w1SRANbK2
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStgDsQaw0N
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JGUWws5bC
「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。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVhf28SUpM
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevwOJyZ0s
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNcqeYex8M
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZXPZ4w0qV
「啊！幹！」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBtBzNqTor
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrXNQgYy3f
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxclZyLAowI
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAnpKk1kU
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZHJBg78Sd
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5YMpiP5zC
「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。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdCCMjrIE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWXvj22Dis
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcwwAXr7b
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNyKNPDA6a
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zTLbXVIgu
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSH5IPg89x
「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？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TPNC2GcYL
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KkkeAZnlY
「我要可是……」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ciurGC8a
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFqkM4DNF
「賽博，聽他的……」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOd7aqDXEy
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Ei1vyZcw
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAZwpJYi8y
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEL2i5178A
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT03ck8jvxW
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCrmmieec4
「……………」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ip7H1GgG
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQRPafrsb
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw0h6m0mY0
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBw0MxCmgq
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN1433sUxk
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDTBoWKd2U
老人瞇著眼看著我63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VMcsyjnXU
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMBBjjmTRS
「我也不知道。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNOYKOurzY
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z7ZzeY1t2
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ28lsJoBQY
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH309iH9yvg
「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。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEsJ802Lu
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09fq1XtcT5
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDugSQTNjs
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRcFqeZGGA
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia0zE9TtrS
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKREwkYVTk
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC9vx1cev2
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtObLlX6ul
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBPjpYLhmE
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9x3l1OGs
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63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLDYvqKFS7
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP6ZTFYK9T
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOyvZZfU0g
63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1If98rLKu
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
