酒館又開始喧囂。羅法爾彈指推倒空杯，用酸嘴掩飾內心情緒，「爛故事，哪裡『滿懷希望』啦？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsuGaDcgW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok6YIzWNDM

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfA6y9tk9T
這位自稱警長熟練地用身體擋住右手動作。修從領口掏出的物體才露出一點金屬光澤，羅法爾就已經打開腰間槍套，隨時準備兵戎相見。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5TiDUZbcg

修慢慢拿出一把左輪手槍，慢慢把它放在檯桌上，慢慢解釋。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy4MwinPSZ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSLZaMIqAS
「聽過『俄羅斯輪盤』？俄羅斯是古地球國家，出過很多暴君，也許是其中一位想出這種殘酷遊戲……嗯，總之呢，我想用自己的命，來賭我的幸運……隆重介紹我的幸運之槍⸺『卡蘿．卡蘿』⸺復刻版柯爾特蟒蛇、點357口徑雙動式、六發裝填。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts3avISOS6

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldn8RcxlG3

「兄弟，你最好開始懺悔。」老羅用粗操拇指把實彈一發一發推進彈倉、再將轉輪卡進槍身，握穩槍柄指著前方。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qpYaf7WcH

「懺悔自己這麼囂張，汙辱男子漢的神聖對決。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ822GAXe3RY

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQjaKkB6um
此舉成了壓毀耐心的最後一根稻草。羅法爾大力拍轉彈倉，眼觀覘孔，對準不要命的墨鏡眉間。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZD3hAcuOl

「搞什麼……」再來好幾次，還是沒有。命運的擊錘持續光顧空氣，六分之一機率越乘越多。修聳起肩膀、轉頭跟酒客眨眼致意，對面的鬍渣大叔更是氣喘吁吁。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcjZWkZuU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9KhsNCS3l
「你作弊！」羅法爾憤怒站起，刻意把子彈調到擊發位置，對空無一人的窗戶開槍。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrZj4qrGar

深夜班次艙門開啟，老舊的四足搬運機爬出散熱蒸氣。除了它之外，就只有兩個人類旅者⸺銀髮劍士烏霸，還有面具刺客狼刃。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrAEgSZKOS

為了幫商會購地來到此處，他們內心卻各有盤算。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5czGINJJf
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamm32hLdyK
「那是白蘭度的車……他應該不會下來才對。」刺客看到一旁壞掉的渦輪禮車，用鐵爪輕抵下唇，「新人，你去找農夫，我有事要辦。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ti33Ogqvd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OyCet16Qm
「不怕我跟他們說壞話嗎？」烏霸收好太刀、束緊腰帶，沒有等對方回應，就往遠方唯一亮著的店家走去。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5nBRIQxny
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnny9D66K
「放心……」狼刃小聲呢喃，拉低兜帽消失於夜色之中，「我都聽得見。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUXWflsm1V

城鎮另一邊，酒館內正瀰漫著刺鼻煙硝。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4lQdQRs9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVHQV65WyB
「應該開了……十幾、二十發？」修從震驚呆滯的老羅手中拿回左輪，想跟圍觀者討錢時，突然被大聲喊住。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuAb6eVHP
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBdenacpjF
「兄弟！再來一局吧？我賭上所有財產……但是這次……」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiofVMCdcG
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHAmHZ314D
警長把大衣下擺甩到腰後，從長到不可思議的槍套中拉出一把厚重鐵塊，光放到桌上就花了他好幾秒。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqpJkTtTIa
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok9m0WolJl
「隆重介紹⸺訂製槍體、電磁加速膛軌、點五零對物質彈頭九發裝填。我都叫它……『幹你的超級大砲』。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy7FQNblgt
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3sB0YLH9
「呃、嗯……也是可以。」面對存在感十足的巨型武器，修拿下墨鏡，笑瞇瞇的雙眼自信依舊。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2DjYpaSDK

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7bHEtfTQ5
兩人誰也不讓誰地凝視對方，就快進入重頭戲時，一個不識相的身影突然推開大門，無視這場圓桌對決直接走向吧檯。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81eNnWuJdd
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5p18rd6J
「妳是店主？」明顯來自異鄉的銀髮劍士劈頭就問，「農場負責人在嗎？我代表商會……」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQu6JYHH3
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoJJMe9yau
瑪格麗特下意識地瞄向人群中的約翰，他也不知所以。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaB0y41V9a

店內鴉雀無聲，可以清楚聽見一雙殺氣騰騰的馬靴站到不速之客身後。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98li4Q7b18

「今晚真熱鬧啊，老羅我聞到好熟悉的臭味……偉大的札廣，又想佔誰便宜？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAghcFOP9xY
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2H1gzP7nm
充能線圈在烏霸腦袋後方嗡嗡作響。他能感覺到，不只鬍渣大漢手上那把，還有更多槍口從四面八方對準自己。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW3pLPAz8T
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQceYzaZI
「別衝動……這個距離，我比較快。」劍士閉眼呼氣，控制雙手離開腰間太刀，舉到空中表示配合，「我幫札廣做事沒錯，但他沒來，就照我的方式談。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DTTEmGlu2
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YheJapqyu
「口氣挺大的……談啥？」老警長把大砲扛上肩膀。看得出他有點慶幸，終於能找到對象耍狠，「給你們的赤藻已經夠便宜了，別想殺價。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJefwp0xIl
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZAhkbXylj
「商會打算買下特里頓的地，用來種樹、造紙，你們可以繼續在這生活。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC0L7vO7oX
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KgapqwpF0
「種樹？」農夫約翰一聽就發現破綻，馬上鑽出人群，「可是，這裡深度不夠，土質也不適合啊？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi1D1TBxUC
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H5r9nNAO2
疑點重重，他卻不禁想著：要阻止衰退就必須轉型，交給別人來經營，可能對農場比較好？571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oWdwrx1Zp
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfg59GgODu
「夠了，小子，答案是『否』！」羅法爾斬釘截鐵地說：「交給那群人不如放火燒掉，這是你們的家，不能被札廣得逞。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BiOAMyHhz
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnyPpyGyXf
銀髮劍士好像早料到會吃閉門羹，沒有討價還價，還刻意放低聲量，「你認識他，你也不信任他……告訴我，他在想什麼？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu84KlndVs
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCsOfVS1zG

「等等、等等！各位……」瑪格麗特女士插入爭端，拿著兩杯赤酒跑出吧檯，「這麼晚了，大家又喝醉，怎麼談事情？對面就是旅店，先睡個覺明天再來，好嗎？年輕人？」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr8q9j3Ue6
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSzJFiGc3k

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKEZEBcDXk
「夠了，我明天再來。」烏霸轉過身，不想表現哀傷。正要離開時，突然被女店主拉住肩膀。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMmQ6Iuopv

房門緊閉。椿無法壓抑全身顫抖，朝空氣揮出一陣亂拳，齜牙咧嘴地走下樓梯。同時，修在路邊試著攔住鳥獸散的酒客，想追討賭金卻都被敷衍了事。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMw55Xvq3W
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7yz06Lqes

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAvoRrsnTw
無傷大雅的提案。椿點頭思考不到幾秒，就伸出右手表示成交。互相確認稱呼後，臨時結成的鴛鴦大盜⸺其實是撞與被撞的人⸺結伴離開了商店街。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZsvK1iILr
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10DqnSEhys
半路上，椿在昏暗田野中看到盤臉怪客身影，忍不住揉了揉眼角。她搞不懂，那人為何在半夜揹著鐵箱遊蕩……她連那是不是人都不知道。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEJSdzgwsU

打烊的歡場格外冷清，約翰在屋簷下抱著膝蓋沉思。老羅和瑪格麗特的爭執，他已經不想再聽⸺「堅決反抗」跟「安全為重」，讓這位繼承者內心天人交戰。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ175Vzj08qI

「有什麼事嗎？」奧莉薇亞和蓋爾走到大叔旁邊，馬上被他抱住肩膀、強行壓低姿勢。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlCkIHdtnC

小妹的驚叫聲傳進店內，專心清理檯桌的瑪格麗特聽了直搖頭，「唉……老傢伙又在打什麼主意，實在沒力氣管了。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pmtiOERQP

一個晚上，就能讓未來充滿不安。女店主憂心忡忡地走到牆邊，拿下剛才被陌生人注視的相框。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxhaSdkZ7H

時光停格，許多居民跟著凱笛希父女一起歡笑，包括瑪格麗特和她的兒子⸺說要加入外環聯盟反抗暴政，參加木星大戰之後，就再也回不來的兒子。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXPg9LwElj

廚房內，默默洗碗的「鴉」看到老闆娘呆站著，忍不住放下工作，開口問道：「女士，我不懂，何必跟商會低聲下氣？那群勢利眼，根本不在乎妳們。」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakQ3m4Pbh

「這邊的人啊，一步一腳印慢慢適應、改變環境，辛苦好幾代都撐過來了。幫帝國做事、幫商會做事都可以啊？我……我只想繼續看大家在這喝酒，一起笑、一起吵架，然後繼續活著面對明天……有困難說一聲，大家來想辦法，這樣不就很好嗎？為什麼……為什麼還要去追求更多東西……」571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVnVg5fH3L

瑪格麗特拿走拖把，鴉只好低下頭回到廚房。剛才，他想說店主善良，卻卡在喉嚨出不來。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vhwb0ONum

商會這種「上」欺「下」的態度，喚起了迷失在腦海中的情緒。他知道自己不能忍受。藏在臥鋪衣櫥的那套戰鬥服、那把短刀、那把長劍，大概也是為了導正如此不公不義而存在。571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKvPhJoq5H
