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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcvGWIUxia

「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。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqUjTAJqDS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwRAGMQCmD
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2VzUDCjTc
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq7rf6Bz25
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripvanqDlD
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzkhD1uVvq
「我好了，接下來呢？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjQXF95B49
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIPI2tupDB
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibblszGjsc
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWezmUMQIJ
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG0t9EdON5
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJlyWqqxue
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFFoSoyFF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDcZ0NkjG6
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TJI28MW4O
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5IfhX9VX
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vhr4HjiZo
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndo77JUkDG
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahVgWRPLAG
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e5cqntuAF
「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？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19nYNsrYMy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn83kIndVMS
「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……」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq58TiGDZVt
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcAHpLi0sO
「他們…死了？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKNQ8Q76Gs
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPO7HNWvc4
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJUtt0opO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffEkMkKdvE
「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。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqXvuvUssS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWwpDIx3cF
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKOsByZoqp
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN62x9zTNc
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tWBiU51DC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnIJIBQcwA
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26hgLSH0KS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWQ6ZdZDUY
「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。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88M86oKQzb
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoqk6QmNcj
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcXkikoKyI
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2MUz86Ub
「啊！幹！」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCy05hroE
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq58oujSBlg
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtbkO682EO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXHQeYziq
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFy4UruXET
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP0NjD5Lx7
「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。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e31QQbblI
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw7Qe8S0CM
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4k7onHnIF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrw2IaB7Gy
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeWfUergt9
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEX4HUFi1
「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？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfdYHq6kxR
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDVCX9Ubos
「我要可是……」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eyaVo561e
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3HdKx4xq
「賽博，聽他的……」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClxOxjQmIe
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicup1hVhkd
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV1X7kKqwU
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqctXKpPDWk
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWKscjL4IG
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBCbQ1TMgX
「……………」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2a8Oxe9D
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjICPlZ5l
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hym4uyxwx
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirWk3xvpyz
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyGdl5fHV7
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc421LpZNNb
老人瞇著眼看著我93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPalvjvpA4
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGs2Z1d4W
「我也不知道。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHyQjfzPFi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkypK5sz53q
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46mAuzvUD
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN20CsNM45
「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。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe1LAqJvy6
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLTppq1ui2
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEQAOHzRXF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8Yhu1Y69
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uJYSOZQiG
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTQsg64VKM
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UqJnJU84H
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYLJrrqkdU
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3viuKKyE9D
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KoINQ3zcq
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93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ABTSgYwJ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gGshA6akS
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PtwcYS7bC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zC3k6nuH8
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
