球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpxKKDlHaD
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjvYEmANy4
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa9vL87iU0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qeJguZZvR
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsmIuPWTiT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMZbjRdNSQ
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpjvtv5GVl
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGsS9vjcrI
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0pLB3aST
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanOr7ReRA
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBYOHJLy3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNUSolRER
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6OLi6xeW7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfNMoxu1i1
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWnNaqfmEi
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfk7yza9BP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5acbdKevET
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx85tTY0v8L
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwOKkpXgd3
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8SoagST6p
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwg7PG7lpP
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRudyALZxA
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIpJHK9Jpc
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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R24sgDMYc
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLfGNHdrY
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW39MFqY8v
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5jsAmWOQ7
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE73wfJBpUw
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdpoSxTsEz
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsJ6uhbHGH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l4q4zqzOH
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmxwu1DQhL
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdbBdmHdDT
「還有人跟你一夥？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzBE8pKQz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIP6nRLfBx
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALcp9AyIp2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jVJBZNYVC
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRneNZ8dx8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojkCjoLiB
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Cs4xDLHo
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJSCCp2IG5
「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！」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ882L2FpPmK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQxjiB0tft
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWK5kP7KtI
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIngrylOyOp
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMsTDZ4nUW
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtam0Y9KiI9
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW4XZ3zEUU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Mj7a7PvC
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDoDB4NVw4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1KSrNOiPO
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAIMlWbseL
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0oS9JQLlK
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zgEbUvy1m
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tw1dbZYHp
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2FSeQ5HBs
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHQlC2mBH
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi0JanA4lu
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQWxuPnQhr
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLaXaQmAyH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49EHmgD3o0
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3QlzxFZN2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCuVEi1cHx
「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……」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxuwYZEPvE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfVgtpww5
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCITJ7Oj3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhe73bQHXp
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrm8DoqEpO
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBLCdHxdfx
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9GCmpgpyP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9QOgpUTSy
「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……」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzduakmfO
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDgByvHCIs
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡootqx8BUBH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNf118A0W
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vu1rO8JMR
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDSoJ26sPY
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRNaxs0av3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsscWl1Psvu
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYHZt3AwM
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG10yjrBnR
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9bEXs0pmX
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoajvfJ9Izb
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgILNcr4ba
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI8AZfq2uL
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefWEm4N5CT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuW45kg02a
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQtlGk1FP1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Pk1WWoTu
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4nwYCLZaH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVBpdYIwcx
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYJN4w7PE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4lTe7vasX
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0h4byPAGy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kCZ2yrUYJ
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6or5eVot
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhaaoDSS6m
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4xFkWhuNT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFDW8f4SLz
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V3YPz1X5a
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslc66ZQ3qB
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJYwc0CRU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExraxm5NNf
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXDJTOZye
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsTzwk6V9b
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkecqdDoHRS
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcpe4mHRyR
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR0t7Lina4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSI2l35YEM
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvC1BpcxqE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Z910r2bk
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zv1enUuTC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V811iOaZH
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIthj5Bcawj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrWVk1f19n
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGueCZv3j5a
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi75qpwZHO4
「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！」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48RgbENCF
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEn8RHM80D
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwWnD1s3x
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7tqmGFEjy
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc2JT8mrED
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4RwL1uSRY
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWHlIVw3Ty
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHobMBbBc6
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDjJ81x2MX
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdpjkgQuLv
「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？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGNbe8HHqt
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTQnIye0c
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tn08PCakU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzFlUVOmT
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc87SsWfMP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6DEPsFJ0
「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！」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfXv18dID
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYZ8R3J3G
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqasaB9Vq6M
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvl3rj2hUk
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJxxEAHlHi
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRuve9Xa3R
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGcLrdhq0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVTcSH7G1
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwrOFInGTQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJDSQtJXE
「我們做得到。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbEXyKKtb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbiGcNo16
五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
