自從確定參與計畫的那天起,魏歆潔便時不時的帶羅時殷去人偶所在的長廊走走。42Please respect copyright.PENANAJBkwoIULUG
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3APf5FGw8K
魏歆潔說,她先前引起的不適,是來自於這些人偶所傳出的死亡氣息。42Please respect copyright.PENANAjFcASUliJS
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1PudXqSjC6
所以為了保險起見,魏歆潔會在接下來的時間裡讓她多走幾遍那道長廊,試著去適應這種感覺,以防在行動中出什麼差錯。42Please respect copyright.PENANA0AnjCzfbHU
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKtnfxvTMyi
畢竟隸神教那個地方,擁有的人偶可不比他們地下城來得少,若不適應的話,到時必定會引起更強烈的反應。42Please respect copyright.PENANARQwPFPZeX6
42Please respect copyright.PENANAPnmc5tVNfo
時間一天一天過去,羅時殷來到這裡的日子也將近兩個禮拜了。魏歆潔說,她現在壓力值逐漸趨近平緩,是個好現象。42Please respect copyright.PENANAriHxjsAABs
42Please respect copyright.PENANANbQFsasZT2
待在地下城的日子有些無聊,她不能隨意外出,只能找簡茗葳或者魏歆潔聊聊。不過簡茗葳太忙了沒時間見她,反倒是魏歆潔跟她的話不知不覺地多了起來。42Please respect copyright.PENANAR4VTZEbA3o
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsXhygH46ev
和她聊過之後,羅時殷總算知道了為何政府會設置這座『地下城』。42Please respect copyright.PENANAPiNamCVxeR
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqCZr0W7VKw
她說,這座地下城是在十幾年前就建下的安置所。當時的政府已經看出了隸神教的威脅,打算著手研究藥物,去治療這些被改造過的『人偶』。
只可惜十幾年過去,研究方面一直沒有太大的進展,所以政府只能盡可能救下那些流通到黑市販賣的『人偶』,或是那些即將變成人偶的受害者們。42Please respect copyright.PENANAqW5z5b4OPe
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4TNBGBuH0n
「即將變成『人偶』的受害者?這是什麼意思……」羅時殷不解的問。42Please respect copyright.PENANAAFXjxuBvrq
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuQlte4xhCv
「是指改造不完全的人偶。」魏歆潔拿起手中的咖啡,悠然自得的輕啜一口,然後接著道:「據我們所調查的資料當中,他們要製造出完美的人偶,必須滿足一個條件。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAe7dmHw3v3T
42Please respect copyright.PENANAGcLVZNPCCO
「……什麼條件?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAsDxatvN7pn
42Please respect copyright.PENANAeLiTC1jwij
「必須死過一次,然後復活,才能完成改造。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAyNBuu87SMo
42Please respect copyright.PENANAogvDZRbn64
死過一次?42Please respect copyright.PENANAADYlRIIjER
42Please respect copyright.PENANAknp2kxA1bn
羅時殷腦海中不自覺閃過江和雨的臉,恍惚了一陣,說:「是嗎。」42Please respect copyright.PENANADgPshpZmQ4
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzDGSW9g2t3
「怎麼,妳還有什麼問題想問的嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA5KhcSIyX4T
42Please respect copyright.PENANAeRzvUHqGfx
「我只是好奇,人偶是不是還有其他方法可以造出來?例如,由人偶所生的人偶……」42Please respect copyright.PENANADLl4dNH5fg
42Please respect copyright.PENANAnaXTTunNxn
「這個嘛,我還真無法給妳一個準確的回答。」魏歆潔挑了挑眉,似是沒想到羅時殷會問出這個問題。42Please respect copyright.PENANAOmObehSW8p
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4sp7aLJuI1
聞言,羅時殷只好作罷,不再提問,帶著遺憾結束了話題。42Please respect copyright.PENANAkrVkapkeP6
42Please respect copyright.PENANATkVty7yIGg
自從被告知不必再去見人偶之後,按理來說,羅時殷的時間會變得更加自由。42Please respect copyright.PENANAvUUT5DvJMp
42Please respect copyright.PENANAaXHkr7f0Ye
但羅時殷仍舊會習慣性的去那條長廊,看著那些雙眼無神的人偶發呆。42Please respect copyright.PENANAS8n5qAzVMG
42Please respect copyright.PENANA63QUTPcP2y
從一開始的害怕、發怵,直到現在能夠完全坦然的看著他們。
然後她便驚人的發現,和他們相處的時刻,反而能夠撫平內心的焦躁與不安。42Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qtj1nU92A
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJyZV6Z9g4A
「……你們是怎麼成為人偶的呢?」羅時殷喃喃自語著,聲音小到幾乎只有自己能聽見,可人偶卻敏銳地聽見了聲音,視線一致的朝她掃了過來。42Please respect copyright.PENANAVwNhFeDPVh
42Please respect copyright.PENANATINA5orSX0
羅時殷不禁搖頭失笑。
要讓人偶開口說話,簡直比登天還難,她不該期望這件事情的。42Please respect copyright.PENANABhYwAgKw81
42Please respect copyright.PENANAYkFxKAlgns
於是,她後退了一步,正打算離開。42Please respect copyright.PENANANB8la0RUyf
42Please respect copyright.PENANAa8lsufgLPn
咿咿咿——42Please respect copyright.PENANAy55AS5nJ0l
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQvny6qexEZ
忽地,腦袋裡傳來一陣尖銳的高頻聲,阻擾了她的去意。42Please respect copyright.PENANAIJKwJrpXcU
42Please respect copyright.PENANAGPFZioKTlu
羅時殷臉色扭曲了一陣,等著那道聲音消失。42Please respect copyright.PENANA3lxeZ9awXK
42Please respect copyright.PENANAHLyjuMs6Pp
「不適感還是沒有完全消失嗎……」羅時殷渾身冒著冷汗,輕輕靠在牆面,緩和著自己的呼吸。42Please respect copyright.PENANAaHkN1HR8YO
42Please respect copyright.PENANApVft6vecE7
思緒紛亂了好一會兒,羅時殷這才撐起身子,踩著緩慢的步伐離開了。42Please respect copyright.PENANAvrLI3QO9B1
42Please respect copyright.PENANAGuvlo8jfuK
至始至終,羅時殷完全沒發現從她耳鳴開始,人偶的行為有了變化。42Please respect copyright.PENANABWd5pDqKmQ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAd6lpVTVmlZ
——人偶,開口說話了。42Please respect copyright.PENANADvngdlS03Q
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8SWc3JtbvA
而那句話的嘴型,看上去是這樣的。42Please respect copyright.PENANAnZBPrxxrOG
42Please respect copyright.PENANAyWPcxlOPJo
『……法。』42Please respect copyright.PENANAj0XztipBJJ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAGa4WXLdlFt
『……咿。』42Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2a0zuJ6jy
42Please respect copyright.PENANAVhmHC7DoxW
『……法……利。』42Please respect copyright.PENANAWOWdpPguSo
42Please respect copyright.PENANAM78wbX1i8Q
深夜。42Please respect copyright.PENANAbkfqqOlHF3
42Please respect copyright.PENANASnzIoCliZe
一道身形修長的白髮少年推開門扉,腳步凌亂的走進房間。42Please respect copyright.PENANAXdHB1iEfhi
42Please respect copyright.PENANAfNwxhqmE8m
少年身上的雪色長袍半褪,隨意地搭在他的手臂,只勉強遮住下半身的風光,可卻完全遮擋不住他上半身的狼狽。42Please respect copyright.PENANAuJHe3ULddu
42Please respect copyright.PENANASv6t0pEO2m
像是即將燃盡的燭光,少年艱難地撐著身體,用盡力氣走到床前,將自己跌進柔軟的被褥之中。42Please respect copyright.PENANAk8M42Eq0VL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAfoNmcJUU4R
少年維持趴著的姿勢好一陣子,游移的靈魂才逐漸歸位。
可他緩過身子沒多久,少年突然感覺到一陣鈍痛襲來,令他不禁悶哼了一聲。42Please respect copyright.PENANAlEDB2aM9Pj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuEGBd9GcXf
另一邊,住在少年臥房隔壁的女人指尖一頓,似是感知到了少年的狀態,隨即不慌不忙地闔上手上的書籍,抬手收攏了披肩,然後起身前往少年的臥房。42Please respect copyright.PENANAvDpLOfJion
42Please respect copyright.PENANAxXg1ZdZmAm
女人推開門扉,也不等少年同意,便隨意地踏入少年的住所。
女人絲毫不覺得這個舉動會冒犯到少年,反而自顧地闖入,就猶如領主一般,親自巡視她的寶物狀況是否良好。42Please respect copyright.PENANAPCQPsyLIvT
42Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3AVZC47p
「怎麼了,法利?是身體在痛嗎?」女人輕笑,沒有被少年陰惻的眼神影響,「或者,是因為她快要回來了,所以你感到痛苦?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAPOaTuHdHCh
42Please respect copyright.PENANAmO6mdqt668
「不準動她!」一聽女人要將那個人帶回來,法利立刻露出了兇狠的神色,咬牙道:「妳答應過我的……如果我聽話,就不會動她。」42Please respect copyright.PENANARpfq8x2j7s
42Please respect copyright.PENANADIkVy2Pvux
他已經滿盤皆輸,不能再把那個人給賠進去了!42Please respect copyright.PENANATRs1tKD2Np
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuBt5TQWnQ6
他絕對不能讓她回來這個地獄,再次經歷不斷被折磨的痛苦……他已經受夠那個人躺在他懷裡,逐漸失去溫度的畫面了!42Please respect copyright.PENANAsWEUXYAgUj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtEUyt1hest
「雖然我答應了,但我可以反悔呀。」女人收斂了幾分笑意,神色突地一變,氣息瞬間變得陰冷,「要是我和她交換就好了,這樣我們就能一直、一直在一起了……」42Please respect copyright.PENANAq5nQcHy8yC
42Please respect copyright.PENANASOZLulHXGG
女人如此說著,不顧少年的意願,強行對他要了一個黏膩的擁抱。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9GC3h7EYh1
42Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ3y5Qhn3I
法利的手臂立刻起了一陣雞皮疙瘩,下意識推開了女人,然後看著她隱沒在黑暗的半邊臉蛋,憤恨道:「我此生最後悔的事情,就是收留了妳們這對姊妹。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAkt6taswHqQ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAUCy2R5pxyq
女人……不,應該是說魏歆潔。在聽到這句話之後沒有太大的反應——也許是因為聽過少年太多次類似的話了,所以不至於影響到她的情緒。42Please respect copyright.PENANAHGms3EJ72r
42Please respect copyright.PENANArphUSFRtk0
她的視線一邊留戀不已的在法利臉上反覆摩挲著,一邊吐露出最殘忍的言語,「我很期待,她接觸真相的那一刻。」魏歆潔彎了彎眼睛,眸底閃過病態的光,抬手摸向了法利的臉頰。42Please respect copyright.PENANALCaHsWpDEV
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqOrcWdAcgx
法利此時再也按耐不住殺意,從枕頭下面偷偷拿出藏好的刀,打算趁其不意,朝魏歆潔刺過去——42Please respect copyright.PENANAj5OEtw6zFF
42Please respect copyright.PENANAporeOnHw7t
不料,在刀尖還未陷入魏歆潔肌膚的瞬間,他的動作便被一股無形的力量強行制止了。42Please respect copyright.PENANAsv8wS3qPh2
42Please respect copyright.PENANASx7wG5yNrQ
法利不甘心地喘著粗氣,狠狠地瞪著魏歆潔。42Please respect copyright.PENANAOPYyAxEte7
42Please respect copyright.PENANAxhIHcIpMdq
魏歆潔見狀,嘴角的笑意更勝。她將法利的手輕輕一撥,並沿著他無法動彈的手,一路摸索到他手心的刀刃,輕而易舉的將刀子奪走。42Please respect copyright.PENANArqmlrSGE1r
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1qxWfcnT7P
「你還是不肯認清現實嗎?」魏歆潔不斷地拋接著手上的刀,「只要心臟還在我的體內跳動,你就永遠殺不了我。別忘了,控制權在我的手上,你奪不回來的。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAF9QkRDRFzK
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuOyp4VG3Kn
魏歆潔說完這些,可法利仍是那一副倔強的表情,多少影響了女人的興致。42Please respect copyright.PENANAQStJJGcz5s
42Please respect copyright.PENANAdSl73Sltph
於是,她決定要做些什麼讓心情變好。42Please respect copyright.PENANAHcUGgV78hV
42Please respect copyright.PENANAH54tPzUGB3
魏歆潔微微一笑,心念微動,少年便照著她的意念,順從的躺下。42Please respect copyright.PENANAwcnOZEEbZI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAB8r38ehP6t
見被控制的少年沒有再說出令人厭煩的話語,魏歆潔滿意的看著眼前的傑作,朝少年欺身而上,將他緊緊抱著,並時不時的騷擾他的身體。42Please respect copyright.PENANAUm1Mkfngbv
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsJraNXXfQT
少年漸漸有了反應。魏歆潔頓時露出滿足又扭曲的笑容,抬頭湊近他的耳際,病態又溫柔的說著:「我會永遠愛你……我的法利之主。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAbLeGqjyHIa
42Please respect copyright.PENANA77XHrLq2ag
翌日,少年在陽光的照射下清醒過來。
他緩緩支起身子,昨日的驚慌與憤恨已然消失不見,取代而之的是令人心驚的漠然。42Please respect copyright.PENANACTEMsqlwm5
42Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gzb9a71Ub
他抬眸望向床邊那把被隨意丟棄的刀刃,漠然的視線忽地一緊,不假思索的執起那把刀,將之收攏在手心,低著頭陷入了思考。42Please respect copyright.PENANAeCQCH9mlRY
42Please respect copyright.PENANAA3hMhR7Ae9
他在腦海裡不斷地計算他僅存的籌碼。42Please respect copyright.PENANANqkz0xYnP3
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuuRo7rc8Fv
然而當他越深入計算,就越清楚的意識到,自己已到了窮途末路。
對女人懇求的這一條路,基本上是完全失敗了。42Please respect copyright.PENANAwfN8ioz70o
42Please respect copyright.PENANAC84CP4e6tT
而目前唯一能與隸神教對抗的政府,內部又被隸神教侵蝕得體無完膚,成了空有武器的廢物......42Please respect copyright.PENANAJVqbSN1I21
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtwkPbkjojh
少年站起身,走到了窗邊,讓陽光完全的灑在他身上。不過即便如此,熾熱的光還是無法散去少年周身包圍著的冷冽。42Please respect copyright.PENANA93tQnQBo9K
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6MZBYv8ijd
只能賭了。42Please respect copyright.PENANAjbXnGBsB08
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8r0ok2GEeZ
……賭另外一個孩子,並沒有像她姐姐一樣墮落。42Please respect copyright.PENANAAxSpGuXPXE
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJTPYEjcp34
少年閉了閉疲憊的眸子,然後爬上窗檯,從至高處一躍而下——42Please respect copyright.PENANAm75jlRkDBM
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6nzdGTPzod
——啪!42Please respect copyright.PENANAa1PvwhG1I0
42Please respect copyright.PENANAM4kVZodxJ7
法利無預警的墜樓,徹底嚇壞了底下清掃道路的信徒們,導致場面一度陷入混亂,驚叫聲此起彼落。42Please respect copyright.PENANAQuTT7WBNht
42Please respect copyright.PENANASd8F6gDNDI
喧囂之間,人們沒發現不遠處的角落正站著一個男人,神情淡漠地看著這一切,然後從口袋裡拿起一支訊號器,並按下了上面的按鈕。42Please respect copyright.PENANAILCKhkvieA
42Please respect copyright.PENANAjfMzKdbRt6
做完這個動作後,男人將東西收了起來,緊接著佯作看熱鬧般,朝少年跌落的位置走過去,藏匿在人群之中。42Please respect copyright.PENANAd7Ps6L7Yh8
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2r6XKVL37F
另外一邊,幾乎在男人按壓『按鈕』的當下,一位面容姣好的女人同步接收到了這個訊息。42Please respect copyright.PENANAJnLypCAfHH
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtAG5CRDB3m
女人執起手中的訊號器,看著亮起的紅燈許久,這才後知後覺的意識到這並不是什麼誤觸事件,而是明確的在向她下達指令。42Please respect copyright.PENANAz1E7Y5Yv6n
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5nVZTDGhF0
——她現在得去殺了羅時殷。42Please respect copyright.PENANAbiDqDcEQeQ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAkUWaKNFjiH
女人……不,應該稱她為魏歆玗,此時她眉頭深鎖著,忽然想起了那名少年當初所說的話。42Please respect copyright.PENANAUKTxR4qKMd
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJzcZN0J9ri
『只要訊號器一響,妳得在二十四小時以內殺了她,無論用什麼手段都要達成。』42Please respect copyright.PENANAUlNU022uZj
42Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ybF9bUFo
『這個任務只有妳知道,也只能妳去執行,切記,不能告訴別人,連妳姐姐也不行。』
但是,事情真的非得做到這個地步嗎?魏歆玗眸底閃過一絲掙扎。42Please respect copyright.PENANAhXImQjDHy5
42Please respect copyright.PENANAvVmT8n0ek8
讓羅時殷去死、然後眼睜睜的看著少年被反覆折磨……42Please respect copyright.PENANAabhbDI0qcS
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZpWQsADv2Z
魏歆玗沉寂半晌,嘆了一口氣,最後還是選擇遵從法利的指令。
——法利會這麼做,必定有他的理由。魏歆玗心想。42Please respect copyright.PENANA56sMeP4DCv
42Please respect copyright.PENANAVzmGExkRPn
隨後,魏歆玗便立刻動身前往羅時殷所在的醫院。
然而羅時殷並沒有在那裡。42Please respect copyright.PENANAp8cKPJEVKM
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7iZoFrwy
不好的預感油然而生,魏歆玗連忙拿起手機,打算聯絡傅文桀問一下情況,可對方卻遲遲沒有回應。42Please respect copyright.PENANAGB55qMQsLW
42Please respect copyright.PENANAaaRrlYODNn
魏歆玗只好打給魏歆潔,心想搞不好她會知道羅時殷的蹤跡。42Please respect copyright.PENANAsxkbf3JKWI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAGFAFhO7HsV
魏歆潔輕快的聲音響起,稍稍平緩了她的不安,「歆玗?怎麼了嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAjXNO6TlUUU
42Please respect copyright.PENANArmklPA0sXW
「……姐,妳知道羅時殷在哪嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA5klCAMEdRl
42Please respect copyright.PENANAYT3ohPyYxE
「她現在在我這裡。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAnD8J4iSi2Q
42Please respect copyright.PENANAjyzNZIyGAc
「那就好,妳……」42Please respect copyright.PENANAuzs5qqB438
42Please respect copyright.PENANAIKzW667NKX
「我把她帶回家了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAgACV5ESFWL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAvq3YaDrR6Y
魏歆玗聽後愣了一下,魏歆潔從來不會稱她們倆住的公寓為『家』,只有回到那裡的時候才會稱呼為『家』……42Please respect copyright.PENANAzHxo1SPOY4
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtBV5aFNWlU
魏歆玗不敢置信的質問,「魏歆潔,妳說清楚一點,妳把羅時殷帶到哪了?」42Please respect copyright.PENANASjV2bZpF5z
42Please respect copyright.PENANAF320Zt0OOC
魏歆潔輕笑一聲,坦然的告訴她,「當然是我們出生的家鄉啊,妳都忘了嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAs3dcbvlXmI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqgc6m1m0tJ
「妳瘋了嗎!妳難道忘記法利是怎麼跟我們說的?妳現在把她送回去?開什麼玩笑!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAWLOeyl8XDG
42Please respect copyright.PENANAlx1cboYWYx
「我沒忘,一直都沒忘。」魏歆潔仍是滿不在乎的回答,「所以我在十七年前,才故意把她弄丟了啊。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAq3uI2bF6U9
42Please respect copyright.PENANAa65PAifXHZ
魏歆玗聞言倒抽一口氣,接下來的話全都哽在了喉頭。42Please respect copyright.PENANAI6vsEu3qAL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAXWAkNA54Hd
魏歆潔在電話的另一頭勾了勾嘴角,將過去掩蓋的事跡全部告訴了她。42Please respect copyright.PENANAswjJWmerne
42Please respect copyright.PENANASCIm17dUKL
「妳應該有調查過她的養父母吧,是不是很精彩?一個偷吃的妻子,一個背叛哥哥的弟弟羅弘遠,他們苟且懷上了孩子,他們的事情東窗事發之後,羅弘非簡直和瘋子差不多了。」
「羅弘非殺死了那個孩子,還裝作不是他做的。但其實那個女人什麼都知道,恨透了他卻毫無辦法。自那之後,何祈恩便活在不斷被奪走骨肉的惡夢裡;而羅弘遠,則是被羅弘非摧殘成一個完全的廢人。」42Please respect copyright.PENANACfN3v8JTqU
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3yiNCekv2S
「巧合的是,那位女主人剛好跟我們隸神教有些緣分,所以利用『獻祭』這種騙小孩的把戲給她編織一個美夢,以此作為交換,不得善待這個收養來的孩子。不過後來想想,這個舉動根本是多餘的——因為何祈恩她啊,對羅時殷從來就沒有產生過感情,更別提善待她了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAA7NQhU4ylO
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhhpHAsbTRH
「這樣幸福美滿的家庭,簡直是為羅時殷量身訂做的『家』啊。妳不覺得嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAh2fkVFl5Rc
42Please respect copyright.PENANALCboZJXNsR
魏歆玗聽後渾身顫抖了起來,此時的她已經分不清自己究竟是在憤怒,還是為此感到失望。42Please respect copyright.PENANARsa9YNjtRr
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhz1TtRzbUj
「為什麼?」明明有滿腹的疑惑,但魏歆玗卻像是忘記了她的能言善道,所有紛亂的思緒交纏在一起,只吐出了這三個字。42Please respect copyright.PENANA2nliMY4ckL
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhOpqsOgCY1
魏歆潔沉默半晌,開口道:「憑什麼,只有她能獲得幸福?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAjAUmdrcyrl
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzbLzF7bQ1F
——嘟嘟嘟。42Please respect copyright.PENANAHC6EumIYXI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAYTGj8A91no
通話被魏歆玗切斷了,這是她第一次單方面掛掉魏歆潔的電話。42Please respect copyright.PENANASHsmoJHfgy
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgtnF7kzRzj
幾瞬過去之後,她才像是支撐不住身體似的,整個人癱軟在地面上。42Please respect copyright.PENANAGdZoCDMk2H
42Please respect copyright.PENANAdY55qCFKeA
「……為什麼,事情會變成這樣?」
