球殼城市的邊陲郊區,拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。384Please respect copyright.PENANA7au5nZfNG2
384Please respect copyright.PENANA930hwwWWwb
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽,只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐,為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。384Please respect copyright.PENANAz1DeZLjKit
384Please respect copyright.PENANA7lAvg6a0B9
「你說反抗,是什麼意思?」齊波問道。384Please respect copyright.PENANAeKTkWN6UWS
384Please respect copyright.PENANAoBoYqMpiJp
「等等,這邊人比較多,你們先蹲低。」384Please respect copyright.PENANABQg3djkLH8
384Please respect copyright.PENANAzoJPSLfLgT
塔格直視前方,讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。384Please respect copyright.PENANAfCEzKNpO0Z
384Please respect copyright.PENANAmXkbVlfwL6
雪白建材散發莊嚴,三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外,看到人們手牽手走進設施,幸福地笑著。384Please respect copyright.PENANAcobwsgkCXe
384Please respect copyright.PENANAhLs08ZE3ez
「都是老人?」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察,突然,朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。384Please respect copyright.PENANAJCCNHTmpem
384Please respect copyright.PENANAYW0dRv6tJU
不用害怕,不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來,出生就知道這天會來。384Please respect copyright.PENANAFVFZrzp063
圓頂絕無意外,沿著鋪好的軌道行走,幸福就是如此簡單。384Please respect copyright.PENANADnWOmjO4Bb
384Please respect copyright.PENANArggArDWhmE
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句,用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目,早就被完美音頻觸動內心。384Please respect copyright.PENANAmi0WGf5rXU
384Please respect copyright.PENANAxNTv79CgSk
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑,不像其他圓頂同胞。384Please respect copyright.PENANAADOz63h8tf
384Please respect copyright.PENANA2kMkQM6Rlj
「安樂死……嗎?」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣,擔心親族的現狀。384Please respect copyright.PENANAehTQGAeAO0
384Please respect copyright.PENANAfhA7OykGbc
車輛遠離人群,嘉娜莉坐起身來,「那種景象,我在資料庫看過,『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了?」384Please respect copyright.PENANASkuBOjC8Vt
384Please respect copyright.PENANAh5AM8ZzQef
「『無』托邦?」齊波隨口一說。384Please respect copyright.PENANAJLwXLcY3jR
384Please respect copyright.PENANAefTDDFXpgL
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳,嘲笑少年的無知,「沒什麼好擔心,我們有機體,還有幫手。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAxdI8vyG5dN
384Please respect copyright.PENANAw52U6CTCKn
「沒錯,幫手,就是我!我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」384Please respect copyright.PENANA46WQr8TbeN
384Please respect copyright.PENANAUPOWLBd69u
機械語音傳出儀錶板,眾人還在疑惑時,車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上,隔絕了外界的光線。384Please respect copyright.PENANAAdp1fAlq5V
384Please respect copyright.PENANAVwzslXjoUj
「還有人跟你一夥?」384Please respect copyright.PENANACs0pDNhUDu
384Please respect copyright.PENANADcxp7ykwGd
引擎熄滅,齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動,舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件,還有複雜管線四處攀附。384Please respect copyright.PENANABc87nEbX4c
384Please respect copyright.PENANAVrldqZaGmS
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近,一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小,兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。384Please respect copyright.PENANAu0XHXVdeRz
384Please respect copyright.PENANAiI24mcXCXH
「各位好,可以叫我L2,或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」384Please respect copyright.PENANA5449tSVsQK
384Please respect copyright.PENANAwyGBDF5sTg
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子,拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友,「我們的求救訊號真的有用,帶大家了解一下狀況吧!」384Please respect copyright.PENANARARybqucIf
384Please respect copyright.PENANAw3GDhNwuso
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛,跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。384Please respect copyright.PENANAivSN4cjnAt
384Please respect copyright.PENANAzs8xf1S73a
「抱歉,沒東西招待,食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」384Please respect copyright.PENANAQmxRjkK1YZ
384Please respect copyright.PENANAtX82k1s2xX
「L2,圓頂到底是什麼地方?」齊波移開沉重零件,找到空間坐下,「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAsibVIae7Oj
384Please respect copyright.PENANAPoV6lVSnMK
「這裡,是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類!」384Please respect copyright.PENANAtuvezVs0b7
384Please respect copyright.PENANAzeMSrVqKOM
「什麼?」烏霸抱胸站著,跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。384Please respect copyright.PENANA5raZhJpzFk
384Please respect copyright.PENANAZaUCYkOiUF
「我稱之為:人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到,所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧?」384Please respect copyright.PENANA7q7dA9oSfe
384Please respect copyright.PENANAKrp8eaTSgP
「對,好像沒有那個東西,就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。384Please respect copyright.PENANAYAQFLpAWkI
384Please respect copyright.PENANAc8B8TdtUh7
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭,電子雙眼看來有點自責。384Please respect copyright.PENANAvG8NDHD6UM
384Please respect copyright.PENANAHP7be88jcv
「為每一位居民客製化,藉由基因資訊與數據學習,把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」384Please respect copyright.PENANApLyOEXSOAw
384Please respect copyright.PENANAWJpiypw1YQ
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制,更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收,塔格率先打破沉默。384Please respect copyright.PENANABW0yWTc1Ki
384Please respect copyright.PENANAGaytqrFmHP
「父母由電腦湊合,出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前,睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡,全都要看占卜決定,而且我還甘之如飴……」384Please respect copyright.PENANAry6nmfyXsB
384Please respect copyright.PENANAIs0LkIbgTn
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格,聲音不像以往果斷。384Please respect copyright.PENANACzqEtCs79E
384Please respect copyright.PENANA3UKWLv8qVv
「對,我們什麼時候死亡,也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間,那就是他的餘命。384Please respect copyright.PENANABTDU3cxiuf
384Please respect copyright.PENANAL21pXGPlcu
「難怪你要反抗,」烏霸嗤之以鼻,「這種鬼地方,一點自由都沒有。」384Please respect copyright.PENANApH9Wo70GuG
384Please respect copyright.PENANAgdcRj7vMhK
「自由?我不清楚那是什麼,」塔格轉身打開暗門,波紋的倒影映照在牆上,「我反抗的原因,都在這裡……」384Please respect copyright.PENANAsHXCJezwTQ
384Please respect copyright.PENANASdOovDzt9I
長方體水缸佔據暗房,強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體,一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣,在裡面載浮載沉。384Please respect copyright.PENANAc4FAu6WYdz
384Please respect copyright.PENANA6S2eJudMyp
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線,輕聲走向水缸,當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時,那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。384Please respect copyright.PENANAH24hobeR99
384Please respect copyright.PENANAjCjRICFtDg
「弟弟……還是妹妹?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9uI3y7cjS
384Please respect copyright.PENANArnEeKRyWcB
齊波看著水中雙眸,感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩,對水缸比出向上的手勢。384Please respect copyright.PENANASPsDaZy6Pr
384Please respect copyright.PENANAbbwlEjkV0M
「噗哈……很高興認識大家,我是艾卡。」384Please respect copyright.PENANABoHxyi8UoK
384Please respect copyright.PENANAYLdTfPgC2x
孩童浮出水面,露出興奮笑容,「對不起,我一天只能離開一小時,明天再跟大家握手。」384Please respect copyright.PENANA4P5ZhBUH0N
384Please respect copyright.PENANAll2RJPOvrL
「保持體力,很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手,隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。384Please respect copyright.PENANAfDLicBwUVm
384Please respect copyright.PENANAvpqYnxDPgj
「這位孩子也是實驗產物,基因缺陷,造成內臟骨質脆弱,無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAVI3b4Dt672
384Please respect copyright.PENANA2YvbJj9D7y
房門關上,L2補充說明,「但是,溫柔的塔格找到我,我找到方法駭入系統,隱藏他們的資料,也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAVKOVxrIxfS
384Please respect copyright.PENANAFL9Fptg84T
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環,上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後,艾卡的生命就會終止。384Please respect copyright.PENANA9q9gC1aahs
384Please respect copyright.PENANAfOmAX7s9qR
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望,我需要你們的幫助,你們是從宇宙來的,沒錯吧?」384Please respect copyright.PENANA7P6R5FJtWy
384Please respect copyright.PENANAgogL9llbkk
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果,是他學到的教訓,「艦長……您覺得呢?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMqueW7ov
384Please respect copyright.PENANA27y08wl8cc
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人,要怎麼奪回船艦?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAe0MzqR5xuY
384Please respect copyright.PENANAoiXtzjXfQn
「哈!我們等這麼久了,當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部,在天花板上照出圓頂地圖,「交通路線塔格很熟,問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制,必須進入核心主機才能干預。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAMa9OE5mygw
384Please respect copyright.PENANABiXRAv5D3O
地圖顯示,圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物,俯瞰著整座城市。384Please respect copyright.PENANAf620K1B1SQ
384Please respect copyright.PENANAAIo7h6x3NG
「核心就在那裡,要先搶回太空船才能上去,」塔格接著說,「改寫系統,關閉無人機,我們就可以安全到宇宙。」384Please respect copyright.PENANALQ5Yl7hhN2
384Please respect copyright.PENANAisPYUjanbx
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去?」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺,「不能從這裡直接修改系統?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAECGomBGT3t
384Please respect copyright.PENANA8EjjJk2elO
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙,交給努那駕駛員。384Please respect copyright.PENANAn93qOTXuho
384Please respect copyright.PENANATztczNUg4e
「這是……飛輪球賽?」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說:「真不像這裡的風格。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAEOCVRlQLlj
384Please respect copyright.PENANAuoDuCAHLwC
「沒錯!五天後,就是一年一度的競技典禮,這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件!」L2晃動金屬爪子,做出跑步姿勢。384Please respect copyright.PENANADcu0JufXHf
384Please respect copyright.PENANA5q8M1WEmPw
「朵魅發現,人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』,腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽,占卜系統不會介入,什麼事都有可能發生,所以,朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAtOJmSkOFWG
384Please respect copyright.PENANA332ikUMUm5
「所以,我們要贏下比賽?」齊波問道。384Please respect copyright.PENANAbivsU5tdlQ
384Please respect copyright.PENANAsFogpB9Kg9
「不用贏,」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理,「只要轉移注意力,把衛兵都引開領航者號!」384Please respect copyright.PENANAKlMRJOGKEy
384Please respect copyright.PENANAsDFruhiBnL
「正確,我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽,超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額,要登錄誰呢?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAqwmlLr1nZ0
384Please respect copyright.PENANAvaJFEWaim1
「哼,聽起來很有趣,卡涅特‧烏霸,駕駛燃魂參賽。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAqExnDFJgCS
384Please respect copyright.PENANAH7zvUxWKnV
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨,名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAwtiRsaptcI
384Please respect copyright.PENANA7rzohsobpA
「烈南德,嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍,似乎想起什麼,384Please respect copyright.PENANA3J4LkfWzfx
384Please respect copyright.PENANAuGRNlHoNip
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員,」艾嘉恢復了一些信心,「L2,進入系統之後,能幫我找到特定居住者嗎?」384Please respect copyright.PENANAHklg4tBYQP
384Please respect copyright.PENANArQr0mjS45j
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAJI9m11qap1
384Please respect copyright.PENANA3htSZK7pRC
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥,輕拍雙頰打起精神,「五天後奪回領航者號,解放圓頂同胞,然後,上宇宙面對D。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAr1nUMvS3Mb
384Please respect copyright.PENANA9tvnwhBDXE
「把手疊在我的上面,這是古代的激勵方法!」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手,「我們做得到!」384Please respect copyright.PENANAMkyzs3w6qp
384Please respect copyright.PENANAXGXb9TolHq
「我白天要照常工作,艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意,高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。384Please respect copyright.PENANAjz6OrO6qr3
384Please respect copyright.PENANAN1NqtCMN6F
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。384Please respect copyright.PENANAqZFpxqN5Wh
384Please respect copyright.PENANADESxgkSAsP
「艦長?」齊波邀請領導者,希望能盡釋前嫌。384Please respect copyright.PENANABFPVtLftPs
384Please respect copyright.PENANAd4vnfeG16S
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背,艾嘉肯定地微笑。384Please respect copyright.PENANARJ67KZkEsD
384Please respect copyright.PENANAl6dGYRjGKy
「我們做得到。」384Please respect copyright.PENANAxXhbuvX5lL
384Please respect copyright.PENANAI9tOC5lNgb
五隻手與一根金屬爪子,讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
