列車窗外的風景飛速掠過，黑茶偵探社剛好坐滿一排座位。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC5B17oRT0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIPj0X7QB
稍早之前，在一些可能引致心理創傷的修復工作後，她們得知死者生前在翻閱鐵路地圖集。幸虧書頁上寫滿了筆記，讓一行馬上確認到下一個目的地。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux3omRUMTw
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UjLj906Zv
她們的目標地點位於偏遠地方，其他乘客早在幾個站前下車，讓車廂變相被一行包場。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJUAuavojR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcXTLotzJd
這使黑茶變得大膽和肆無忌憚，她跪在座位上，貼著玻璃看風景。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W1Pim7Arj
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKEIFh1b7
退色已經三番四次勸她坐好，但她就是不肯聽。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbF9q4xJAk
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMnhqe4K2o
另一端倒是比較安靜，六瓣花和琳卡都抱胸一動不動，莫明的散發著壓力。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uaTbZ5YZA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyE7cMMsOp
歷時一小時又四十五分鐘的車程，她們在一個老舊的車站下車。列車駛離月台，風也停下來了。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSK0jJsBOI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrcg3NJzAs
四周的景像都被林木佔滿，地磚的隙縫也染上綠色。空氣潮濕悶熱，肌膚冒出一層熱汗。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGaymKGkXt
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmFDtXFWsP
「之後要去那裡呢？我要使用『偵探洞察力』來尋找線索！」黑茶興致高昂地說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA93nlxnjTn
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWLWOfdXah
其實用不著偵探出馬，因為殘留在地面的足印相當明顯，就像是指明路線的箭頭一樣。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuSSQYpEr
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnVJiifklF
根據足印推斷，對方大約有五人，是帽子琳黛的同伙嗎？303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKfYoUtRVa
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACyQ6Eyd75
現時無法得出結論，保持謹慎地前進吧。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ARSGHA6v
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIK5OmYDM
跟蹤著足印穿過林木，走上了一條小路。一行人來到一個被綠色植物包裹的地方，是一座荒廢的神社。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r2kVOM2th
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcbyGS5Nb4
寂靜的庭院中，野草和蒼苔散發著歷史氣息，石階和石燈籠上都沾滿了厚厚的灰塵。神社的建築物樣貌仍然雄偉壯觀，但墻壁已經破裂，屋頂上也長滿了苔蘚。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxPxfumqp
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHcVENy6zZ
神社正殿的大門虛掩，顯然在不久前有人來過。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPYM9u9AIQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDL67xatR5
黑茶指示琳卡和退色在外面守候，她和六瓣花進入殿内調查。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK7twQE8OL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIy4zWgmHE
琳卡在石階坐下，退色也坐在旁邊，保持著距離。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaHspqH3j8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaoZnVSrFS
初時的黑茶偵探社是由黑茶、六瓣花和退色組成的。琳卡原本是拜託偵探社的委託人，但案子拖長了，久而久之反倒變成偵探社的一員。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGNxpt5c8J
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDo7mFGc6
退色有點害怕琳卡，相處時總是帶著疏離感。難得有機會獨處，她想嘗試再多了解對方。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrDrdX29Hc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW4mNli0D3
她輕點琳卡的肩膀，像敲門一樣，「可以再講一次你的經歷嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5YyZ53jg5
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydufaJBSlY
那張漆黑的臉轉了過來，一如以往，無法看透她的表情，「因為今早的鮮奶抹茶嗎？讓你覺得自己不夠了解我？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dOCTZkrLU
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3BPPxZ0i
被對方早一步看透了，退色的頭低下去，「你果然很在意…嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUS7x2i6H3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ2fV7DE8D
「因為我在這個世界的身份很特殊，瑣碎的麻煩特別多。這都是我的問題，你不用勉強自己來迎合我。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nce0tYXQb
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMifeiLiED
「我想更清楚的了解你！可以更好的幫上忙！今次我會好好記住，以後不再犯傻！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mPeOCHfGk
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFWTdvW4x
琳卡彎下腰，伸手托住了下巴，「沒關係，有不明白的地方盡管發問，無論多少次我都會解答。因為你們琳黛是我最重要的姐姐啊。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd00uHwsNc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKUXldWicu
她的名字是琳卡，是小琳黛五年的妹妹。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeq1F2X0PR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9POBTj08
琳卡的姐姐在十五歲時無故消失，這是一切事情的開端。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP8LnMyuy3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSTK8mIcsz
她的世界線裡，平行宇宙的研究已經相當成熟，因此很快便發現蹤跡。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCrHZDcvQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KngTKhCAA
她們觀察各個平行宇宙，發現每一條世界線的琳黛，都會在十三歲到十八歲期間消失，像人們口耳相傳的『神隱』。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgluFsaxXGK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMXhgr4QJK
每個琳黛消失的宇宙都發現相同的蹤跡，她們是被某個『亞次元裝置』帶走了。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4pjpOFlP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamTnMeP2Rs
經過研究後，裝置被正名為『亞次元蜘蛛』，並確認了它有捕獲琳黛的特性。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KBytnxXl4
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafBNDa39Wx
琳卡的黑色面罩，模仿了『琳黛基準面相』，她主動被蜘蛛捕獲，藉以進入Linda Land世界線，尋找失蹤的姐姐。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1pi8LTNWt
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepql3TJdJu
琳卡的這一番話肯定已經說過很多遍了，因此解說的方式已經很有條理，語氣亦相當平淡。
但她還是會偶爾穿插自己和姐姐的回憶在其中，第一次吃雪糕啦，一起看電影啦，每次提到這些共同回憶時，琳卡的情緒才會稍為漲高一點，看來她真的很想念自己的姐姐。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbBp0YBCZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHxR1ugl0
「世界線、平行宇宙、蜘蛛、基準面相……好的，我記住了。」退色數著手指說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSraDXRoxB
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdhGnsqXJC
「咻咻！」尖銳的口哨聲，是從正殿傳來的。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOKsf3EecZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9kQhV3jwV
「呼叫我們了，走吧。」琳卡率先站起來，拍掉裙子上的灰塵。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jKeFE3u3X
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDPK21C5od
「我會讓自己幫上忙的。」退色說。
二人走進神社的正殿，一股悠久的歷史感籠罩著整個空間。天花板破開一個大洞，牆壁上的彩繪被長時間的風吹日曬雨淋所破壞，顏色褪去，留下了一片模糊的殘影。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuK4IDlxEL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lfz4MOB68
祭壇後是一個斷裂的佛像，切口邊緣扭曲變形，這絕對不是天然老化而損毀的跡象。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeP1PFtYf5
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5V1nnGLNu
「這裡發生甚麼事了？佛像好像被咬了一口的出奇蛋一樣！」退色說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2P02NgvUL
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYpqfcAkNW
黑茶望向她，神情帶著詫異。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVVDbvUaFM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYBKMitbL
六瓣花急速轉身，曲膝，握住刀柄！303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxF0zqH8y2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXsw4G6rr
退色被突如其來的動作嚇到，剎時間不懂反應。直到被琳卡拽住手臂拉到一旁，她才看見門外站著陌生的人影。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQQAnYaQbC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFF5os07b3
猶如鮮血淋漓的紅髮，好勇鬥狠的吊眼，唇角微微上揚，露出牙齒。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunvPeabeVS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCubiH5j4y
「三位初次見面，一位很久沒見。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvRYFjR2qD
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXeKwBHKHp
紅髮女子按住胸膛，彎腰欠身行禮。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OdjQZCisK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIAmYMurdd
「各位好，我是九十九琳黛。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQCrxpqpCp
