35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNns4h6BCvy
再次睁眼，这回却置身在一个明亮的房间。迷糊中看见镜中人的模样很是奇怪，头上貌似戴着白冠，身后竟还长着一对羽翼，似人非人，却唯独看不清面孔。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFktqXmOlcs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt1DIlpueM
他被催促着走向阳台，刺眼的阳光洒了下来，底下的人们高声喝采，悦耳的乐声和欢声笑语完美地交融在一块。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrdwYBs2R7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtleJ9aRdf
又是一眨眼的功夫，场景再次切换。沙场上尘土飞扬，他手持兵器，以最快的速度拉近和对手之间的距离，随即用尽全力发起突击——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO92u9AHRU
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQHcUzkLzW
他猛地惊醒，视野却依旧朦胧而模糊，昏暗的房间里，摇曳的烛光为其添上几分神秘。他的大脑此刻很是混乱，尚未能从方才的经历中缓过来，翻身之际却见身旁躺着一红发人。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwH4aXja2X
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkGgfucD3W
“怎么了？”红发人问道，“又作恶梦了么？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GxVX7m8WT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuhEDhH0xW
红发人伸出手，温柔地抚摸他的脸庞，似乎他也并不抗拒。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySzURHpSJZ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs6PYZpBwY
“好奇怪……”他喃喃道，“为何一切净这般模糊不清？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OwXIAFjDF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTldRf0NEOn
“因为在梦里。梦里都是这样的……”红发人微微笑道，“睡一觉就会好起来的。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77hyFIHUag
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4fN6ZegsU
那么晚安了，荷鲁斯。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmyxANajN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqkmNDPJAa
随着再次闭眼，一道刺眼的光填满了整个空间。他深知接下来会发生什么，到了这里已是他再熟悉不过的环节。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamzaGXb8EL
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVneYCCCUjm
悠悠转醒之际，一道声音再次于耳边响起：“这是属于你们的故事，在这篇故事里，你将遗忘他三次，恨过他三回，爱过他三世。最终——”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgkL64JRy

晨曦的第一道曙光透过窗暖暖的洒了进来，却未能抹除男子心里的阴霾。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PtLJVA0y
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkutxOIRa7O
男子缓缓地睁开双眼，模糊的焦距愈发清晰，印入眼帘的是土黄色的天花板，上头呈现出不平整的颗粒状。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTjJHA8wT
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulT7vikPj
男子从床上坐了起来，睡眼惺忪地环顾四周。男子名叫荷鲁斯，又或者说，他是这么称呼自己的。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwdRQjc7sR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmyuFEpd1f
起因是他忘了自己的名字。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUSqJfOKyp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1U6BGhqc1
正如每回醒过来后都会忘记梦里的细节一样，他忘记了自己的身世、来历、甚至是名字。而荷鲁斯这个名字则是他为数不多从梦里带出来的东西，也被理所当然地借来一用了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKi72pC5Sp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsiGhcNIZA
作为唯一的线索，他曾试图透过名字寻回身世，可到头来却发现小镇上光叫荷鲁斯的人就有十来个，他不是唯一一个，也绝不会是最后一个。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wyi778iWw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfKfFFt8c1
这名字都已经烂大街到这种程度了吗？在好奇心的驱使下，荷鲁斯翻阅起了名字的起源，而这一查才得知，原来那是源自于赫里尤布里斯传说中天空之神的名字。对于信奉太阳神教的凯米特大陆子民而言，以神命名是件再平常不过的事，人们相信能够因此得到神的祝福和庇佑——虽然这样的说法没有任何根据就是了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZWbaRQDDs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613GIKz2Fj
关于那个奇怪的梦，荷鲁斯也不是第一回梦见。虽说醒来后对梦的内容是一点儿都回想不起来，可在做梦的当下却能十分肯定，同样的情节几乎打从有记忆起就已经出现过了无数遍。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZA4SesXbm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWizn46PWU
荷鲁斯并不认为这般离奇的事能用巧合来解释，但同时他也不清楚梦究竟意味着什么？莫非和他失去的记忆有所联系？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRubu1kSQnf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyS1wxvQZD
带着这样的疑惑，不知不觉间，他已在这片大陆上生活了近三百年。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIugz6hJb2
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YvvQZV6uQ
趁着天才刚亮，荷鲁斯背上简单的包袱便离开了小镇。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJErLtYBExk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOJsxqEtj
三百年间他早已习惯这样的生活方式，每二十年重复同样的行为，告别熟悉的住所，搬到新的环境生活。要说为什么，一切都归功于那几百年来未见丝毫衰老的面容——若他不想重蹈覆辙被人当作怪物看待的话，定期搬家似乎是最好的选择。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmiziET9Fp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh8SYAzFAi
就这样，他以流浪驱鬼人自居，三百年来游历于各国之间，降妖除魔的同时也寻求着关于身世的秘密。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2o6VEg911
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtbtnDOIm
这回该前往哪里好呢？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8IpG4UI4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFBfIS4xK5
荷鲁斯翻开手中泛黄的地图，图纸上布满了密密麻麻的标记，直到目光停留在凯米特大陆的边境小镇。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6weO8H4Ko
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7QTnxN2a
就是这里了，米里堪德尔的阿尔诺西。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE0yUOa97Z

*****35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Tyy0lxhI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMxx5e3V4P
一天一夜的路程，抵达米里堪德尔王国已是夜晚时分。相较于荷鲁斯去过的其他王国，几乎在进城的时候他便觉得奇怪，镇上透着一股紧张的氛围，即便到了就寝时间街上却仍灯火通明，城墙上的守卫也神色戒备地注视着墙外，如临大敌，彷佛墙外有什么可怕的东西正在靠近。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB9zZWfuDJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyZF5g8uNt
“你听说了吗？按这速度，那玩意儿估摸着今晚就能进城……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWohvFzyhS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuiT5hnyf0
“这哪能行？真放他进来没准把城里人全吃了！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkR9ApkaYt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliA0y6TTzr
“那你说，上面的人为何不直接将其就地处决？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRRS5pRkg
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8GmlxE1Rb
“咱也不知王都的人咋想的……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aMJ1ybkGk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz79AgNk31s
“哎我听说啊，他们还试着和那怪物交涉！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER9oMJbmlF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJIR7joI3
“交涉？疯了吧？和一个怪物交涉，逗我玩儿呢！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwmw2oGSP
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxFJjoQLtJ
听着路过的人群交头接耳，对话内容显得很是诡异，荷鲁斯起初并未放在心上，可一路步行到旅社的期间，周遭人讨论的竟都是关于墙外怪物的话题。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqflHKXiKBf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQWITleIws
当所有人都在讨论同样的话题，此时不去在意都变得困难，对荷鲁斯而言亦是如此。于是当再次听见路过的群众谈起这个话题时，荷鲁斯终究按捺不住好奇心，出言向其打听。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL7bzpdDZY
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgmBlobZeT
“冒昧了，敢问那墙外的怪物是……？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAHTNz5iL
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEjTU9MdB
荷鲁斯的想法很单纯，面对接下来要生活二十年的地方，早点打探清楚只有利而无弊，再者，若墙外的东西真是魔或鬼，对于身为驱鬼人的荷鲁斯而言就相当于一笔收益。平日里他本就靠接一些降妖除魔的委托换取生活费，如今盘缠所剩无几，也该是时候充实充实了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPDv3IN5gN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLseyzKnjq
被拦下的人愣了一下，从头到脚将荷鲁斯仔细打量一番，半晌，才开口道：“啊～你是外地人吧？难怪会问……但只能说你来得还真不是时候。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHhVQmKlk
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh2IcAuoi0
“何出此言？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdebYCGNnB7
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe97xVAy3L
“你不也听见了么？墙外有个怪物正朝着城镇的方向前进，听人说很可能今晚就会跨过那条线。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxxeed7KH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWztu7xcIfI
荷鲁斯微微皱眉：“那条线可是指……？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzvjOfTjy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zammReWh0
“警戒线。”另一人凑过来道，“即死者之地。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprEwUCZk1C
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiDrVcpWD
荷鲁斯一怔，死者之地，他自然知道这是什么。在凯米特大陆，人们相信太阳升起的东方是伟大的太阳神拉重生的地方，故而称为生者之地，也是住宅和城邦建造之处。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoXxV7q2mF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRn1GOHvG2
反之，太阳消失的西方则被称作死者之地，通常位于城邦之外，属于墓地。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM4Dbzasr4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFr2m91n18
而那人口中的警戒线指的自然是墓地，墓地被视作一个城邦最边境的领地，也意味着一旦跨越墓地的边界线，便相当于进到该国的领土。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBoNoMlwvO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKwMaVfQ2
不巧的是，米里堪德尔的地理位置相当特别，正巧位于凯米特大陆的最南方，而阿尔诺西又是米里堪德尔的边境小镇，它的西南方，即是墓地之外，连接的不是别的，正是传言中的边陲之地。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36N2rnfeE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLM4mcMZ4n
关于边陲之地的传言有很多，听说那里长年笼罩于沙烟和风暴之下，是阳光照不到的地方。还有人说，曾经有探险队试图揭开边陲之地的秘密，但最终都有去无回；更有人说，其实边陲之地的另一端就连接着杜埃，那是亡者最终的归属，所有的亡灵最终都会去往那里。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQHdirD5Ji
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVzyPy3MOe
“所以才说这听起来很不妙啊……”其中一人说道，“毕竟是从边陲之地现身的东西，总不可能是个活人吧？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cl0N7QHWE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dd7C2xQ1i
“虽说那玩意儿迄今为止也未曾做出任何过激行为……不，与其这么说，光是靠近便足够骇人！天晓得进城后会干出什么事来！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxBaKFrY4X
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLuDKE41uK
荷鲁斯思考了半晌，后道：“听你们的说法，他可是现身一段时间了？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1W9CHPJ6M
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLL3nvLjiU
一人点了点头：“是啊，大约七天前出现的，从那时起流言便在坊间迅速传了开来。有人说那玩意儿是邪恶的集合体，也有人说那是诅咒，凡是触碰到都将带来毁灭性的灾害。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscNBNGIhFz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxOAegK1t
荷鲁斯问道：“如何这般笃定？没准是个人呢？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRqFEraFOZ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivHZ6iNgR1
“人？别说笑了，从那种地方？”其中一人苦笑道：“我可从未见过红色的人。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iFjxGC1Z
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PCgXTRlzD
“红色的人？”最后一句话引起了荷鲁斯的注意。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSleTwMmCaz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONOHPQlM6t
“我也是听人说的，那怪物貌似是红色的……像鲜血一样，不祥的红色……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPgkWXGlVy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70HBcvVo6
另一人打趣道：“您还别说，就这听起来人不人鬼不鬼的东西，王都竟还提出要与其交涉！你说搞不搞笑？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8ojg9FXm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYFEJ1St3S
交涉？这么说荷鲁斯方才似乎也从另一组人那里听到过一模一样的说法。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4s0d5HX2M
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGb5FmrsbL
其中身材较矮小的男子说道：“是啊，也不知王都的人咋想的，竟妄想能和那怪物交涉。说是什么……哎说什么来着了？”话语间，转头看向一旁的朋友问道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxwfFoQzIu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgTIWhbRiD
“好像先对其进行了吓阻，告诫若再前进、跨过警戒线，就要将其射杀。但一个来自边陲之地的怪物又怎么听得懂？结果就是依旧以缓慢的速度前进，丝毫没有要停下来的意思。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguEyOaGi1m
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssEsPLFLvR
王都怎会提出要交涉？这种乍听之下就非常不切实际的行为。带着疑问，荷鲁斯来到了城墙边。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIkGqtPjRJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLEpa4HZP
不过他的出现很快便引起城门守卫的注意，并遭到了训斥。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnhIWSA0Vb
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzH191NEpX
“喂！做什么呢！”一名守卫冲着荷鲁斯喊道：“这里不安全，闲杂人等请速速离开！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuvf7fTdmV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9VLxT6BhY
然而面对对方的告诫，荷鲁斯非但不退却，反而还主动靠向前去：“守卫大人误会了，我是奉王都之命前来协助的驱鬼人，非闲杂人。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ8MjKstu0
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchEhGPYk1a
守卫闻言愣了片刻，才反应过来道：“我可从未听说陛下另聘驱鬼人前来协助……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPxOIURji6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCOypk1hAR
没等他把话说完，下一秒便突然感到掌心一沈，低头一看，不知何时多出一袋盘缠。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmZ66JzaXc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN1CFpX50Q
“啊……瞧我这记性，这么说陛下好像是说过会令请高明。敢问驱鬼人大名？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvwjXLsZvX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28iMxZa00C
荷鲁斯见状满意地勾起嘴角：“叫我荷鲁斯就行。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFyb5Bsoy4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uRfiIWS72
守卫随即换了一副面孔，乐呵呵道：“这样啊，那么还请荷鲁斯大人随我来。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBp72bqDva
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4I7580GSe
在守卫的带领下荷鲁斯来到城墙边上，城墙边部署着成群的弓箭手和待命的祭司。顺着守卫的指示，荷鲁斯看向了城墙外，而这一看总算看清了那怪物的面容，之前的疑惑也在这一刻得到了解答：王都怎会提出交涉？而非选择直接射杀？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYxnx8V6aI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGEeMB4jx
只因这个人人喊打的怪物有着近乎人型的外观。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7iWoU5VPm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI7jxHqZcL
这么说吧，眼前的家伙除了那一头连沙烟都遮蔽不住的鲜艳红发，其余看上去根本与常人无异。不巧的是，在凯米特大陆，红色被视作禁忌的颜色，是不祥且预示着灾害的，这也解释了为何人们在看到的当下会下意识将其认定为怪物。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIhifJNWt3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltgJqPQVQT
不过是人是鬼到现在还说不准，也不排除鬼故意化作人型进行误导的可能性。眼下只剩下一种办法了……眼看那怪物就要跨过警戒线，城墙上的弓箭手蓄势待发，荷鲁斯默默在心底做了决定——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QnmgHxedc
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08SsjYQ75L
“让我去会会他。”荷鲁斯道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwVzyZvwqI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSlOkDpFCC
“哎？什么？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fgl0ZJrEw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGEzcFBrRU
没等守卫反应，荷鲁斯便当着他的面从几米高的墙上一跃而下。守卫愣了半晌才惊觉过来，连忙俯在墙边往下探去，脑海中还回荡着荷鲁斯临走前说的话：“若能避免杀戮那自然最好，但若真有铲除的必要也用不着你们出手，我自会解决。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MYhgr9Q1K
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08X5sXjl3M
落地的瞬间，荷鲁斯竟毫发无伤，墙上的目光在这一刻都齐刷刷地聚焦在他身上。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3h6TFbquQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNv3uj3cwE
“这家伙……真的是人吗？”守卫喃喃道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIpFTxR7W
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABuKPS7WoG
关于这个问题，荷鲁斯也设想过不止一次。毕竟是活了三百年都不曾改变过外貌的人，说是人也实在显得过于牵强。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmg8Bl2YpF
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrrHwllyOh
而你……又是人吗？荷鲁斯拔出腰间上的剑，在地上拖出一道长长的划痕，一步、一步缓缓地走到那不祥之物的面前。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZ08W2gcy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOM6TXgQF
“不要再前进了，否则他们会杀了你。”荷鲁斯口吻冰冷道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh87wntKxf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfI1ecFfU
在荷鲁斯的意料之内，不祥之物并未对这番话做出任何回应，仍旧一意孤行地前进。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvxBhUBztH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQi9zTl5c
荷鲁斯见劝说无果，将剑横在怪物的面前，谁成想怪物竟突然停下，毫无预警的，不只墙上的守卫震惊了，就是荷鲁斯本人都未曾预料到。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0mzJa12Zq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLwv9jDLwl
那一头杂乱的红发遮住了他的面容，荷鲁斯甚至无法看清对方的五官。他以剑指向怪物的下颚，将他的头缓缓地抬起，四目相接之际，所处的世界彷佛再容不得任何声音，围绕着他们的除了席卷的沙烟便再无其他。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3v9Pz8MyK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2s27G8o1
那是一双漆黑而混浊的眸子，幽黑如墨，彷佛透不进一丝光。他的皮肤干裂，浑身上下无一处完好，布满或深或浅的伤。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ro2kwJyBb

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Grm5xGGi
荷鲁斯手里的剑也是第一次因犹豫而松动，就在此时，眼前的怪物再次开口说话了，但不同于刚才，这回荷鲁斯清楚地听见了，那自沙哑的喉间吐出的、凄凉的话语——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TvNy6lBWC

鸟啭划破长空，早晨的清风透过半掩的窗悄悄探了进来。迷糊间他悠悠转醒，映入眼帘的是土黄色的天花板，然而这回却没了突起的颗粒。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFRh4rSx9L
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyJcpLEn41
我是什么时候睡着的……？荷鲁斯边想边从躺椅上坐起，然而当他看见床上的东西后，前一天晚上的记忆顿时涌入大脑，荷鲁斯这才猛地想起，自己竟把那不祥之物给带回来了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSxvAqaZw1
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkruDFcRBf
思绪回到昨夜，那城外的不祥之物说完话后便倒在了地上，见状，荷鲁斯将其一把扛起，无视众人惧怕的目光径直就给带回城里。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjApT7VMHo
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYn8ZgA52I
“大、大侠……这不、不好吧……？”看门的守卫显得抗拒，却又不敢接近，因为红色象征着诅咒，碰到没准就完了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Ih2dVUQf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjUULLwMl5
而后，荷鲁斯每前进一步，围观的人群就下意识往后退去一步，直到荷鲁斯停下脚步，人们心里才不由得咯噔了一下。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqytanv1LOr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfVzx52f2
“怎么回事？为何突然停下？”人群里传来窸窸窣窣的耳语。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCOurGCvb
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u36s2OYNs
荷鲁斯环顾四周，目光所到之处尽是畏惧的面孔，最终他锁定在一个目标身上——对方身穿白袍，手持法杖，袍子上的图纹充分解释了他作为王宫祭司的身份。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHVX54ABq

“能治么？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YfyUiKIxE

“不……治不得、这治不得……”说罢，又想退回人群中。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcrdbzHnNa

是红色所以会带来诅咒、也因为是红色所以不配得到救治……开什么玩笑……就因为这种毫无根据的理由，人类什么的……果然……35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGzceUK7dt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNENee22M
祭司面露难色，而荷鲁斯的表情也早已难看到了极点，僵持之际，一道浑厚的男声打破了僵局：“你就按他说的治吧。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc4uQgwKzt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITDbD3XV6
众人纷纷将目光投向声音的来源，包含荷鲁斯在内，只见一名身穿黑斗篷的男子从人群中站了出来，跟在他身边的同时还有数名侍从。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6645AIDw
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57xKaSYkfR
“你又是谁？怎么连你也让我……”然而没等祭司把话说完，男子接下来的举动便让对方彻底犯了难。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDLd8g67m4
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnI0Tw5Z43
男子在众人的注视下摘掉斗篷，斗篷之下是一副中年人的面孔，他的面容硬朗，气宇非凡，即便荷鲁斯迄今为止都未曾见过这张脸，但至此，也大致猜到来者的身份。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG1ohr8aZW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdthDRIiHU
“陛下……！”祭司的一声惊呼伴随发自本能的下跪正式揭示了男子的身份。而围观的群众直到此时才逐一反应过来，纷纷朝着男子下跪。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN5kZFOUHp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrk9zUj8qG
“陛下，您怎么还亲临现场呢？多不安全。”祭司全程低着头，不敢与国王直接对视。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRet3FFmi8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxCQhtLmpV
“免礼。”国王道，捋着长胡子，转而将视线重新移回到那红发人身上：“流言中的不详之物……说的就是他吗。”最后这句话轻得彷佛是说给自己听的，但却还是被一旁的荷鲁斯灵敏地捕捉到了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystyX7DpRe
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NU7RvEA4P
荷鲁斯从国王的眼底读到和自己相同的情绪，那便是困惑。那被称作不详之物的存在无论从哪个角度看都仅仅是个凡胎。真要说他和其他人的不同之处，莫过于是一个快死了的凡胎。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnyFIEKRjW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl3aBcYt1X
既是人便不得任意滥杀，这是国王的原则，也是在众多双眼睛的见证下判出的裁决。他很清楚，身为明君，他所做的每一个决策都被人看在眼里，他大可直接将其就地处决，从此便再无后顾之忧。可在场的人们又会如何说他？如何夸张地放大、检视他的行为，并宣扬到邻里之间？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Tywakk2f
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDk1lhedl
他是不愿滥杀无辜，却也始终无法说服自己接受那抹刺眼的腥红。他无法想像将象征着诅咒的东西带回宫里，即便他愿意，也未必扛得住来自其他王宫贵族的压力。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nnNAALMr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNz7dFF76p
可若不带回宫里又该让谁来监管？在尚未确定其身分和可能带来的威胁之前，总不能就这般放任他在城里逍遥……35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpaMkG5zM3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfGnY7cIz
然而就在国王为此懊恼之际，荷鲁斯出现了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7MER35FW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W77Bupz1c
是啊，如果是眼前的驱鬼人……或许能帮上他一把。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKe2nrEI5d
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTWvb4dw4l
于是当国王听见荷鲁斯的那一声“治还是不治”，他终于选择从人群中站出来——“你就按他说的，治吧。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvMT7Frqvi

随着回忆告段落，荷鲁斯径直来到河边洗脸。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY1P25V8R3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVr2JeRj0
记得昨天晚上他和国王做了个交易，交易的内容大概是祭司会负责救治工作，事后那“不详之物”也能如荷鲁斯所愿让他带走，不过前提是荷鲁斯必须配合王宫负责监管工作，且不得回避、拒绝人员走访。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVHXeTpCwp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIgJQQslwm
而监管的场所就被定在荷鲁斯目前的住所——米里勘德尔的边境小镇阿尔诺西，一个看似平凡，坐落于街角的小木屋——当然，地点是荷鲁斯提出的，他只想安安稳稳地在阿尔诺西度过接下来的二十年，并不愿进入王都受到宫条的束缚。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWAUbzm6WV
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH09vJ8ekK
殊不知，这也正合国王的意，于是双方一拍即合。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2166d1aqLX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB58qTXj4Y
至于荷鲁斯为何坚持救人，还一意孤行把对方带在身边，只有他自己清楚。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nj5rrsbCX

那是一双漆黑而混浊的眸子，眼里透不进一丝光。发白的唇瓣一开一合，却不明其意。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUVmcuGX6B
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SwUvPwaD9
荷鲁斯手里的剑也是第一次因犹豫而松动，但就在此时，眼前的怪物再次开口说话了——35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjeHb71d6Q
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPKriL1mKa
——帮……帮我。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJz35h3KJ3
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0suKghuiUp
荷鲁斯看见了，在不详之物倒下之前，从那犹如死水的眸光中流下的眼泪。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNr6xLZWjs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyriq5XS7Ps

回到小屋，荷鲁斯推开沉重的木门，下意识向床的方向查看，却发现床上的人不知曾几何时竟已起身，神情呆滞地坐在床的中央。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5u9v6dEIt
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQaocsogjF
阳光照进屋里，那抹红也因此变得比昨晚更艳丽。荷鲁斯的喉咙不由得滚动了一下，鲜艳的红彷佛时刻提醒着危险，却又让人难以将视线移开。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41sZm3ffag
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9O0bhuPQq
这么说，昨晚的自己竟然在和这家伙共处一室的情况下，毫无防备地睡着了……该说他荷鲁斯是天真呢还是过于自负？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRm1EXGoxq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjJehV1kG0
床上的不详之物也像是察觉到荷鲁斯的视线，缓缓地抬起头，失了焦距的眼，茫然地眨了眨，二人四目相接，像极了当晚的场景，可不同的是这回荷鲁斯少了几分警惕。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxomD6Up0
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOom3wFIS82
荷鲁斯故作轻松地走向前去，在床头停了下来：“身体……怎么样了？”可几乎是在说出这句话的时候荷鲁斯就后悔了，对方只是愣愣地盯着他看，目光中依旧没有丝毫情绪，活像个白瓷娃娃。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBgvakw369
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhHLpPGDp
荷鲁斯略显尴尬地搔了搔头，似乎这样的回应也早在意料之内。他接着便转头回到厨房，用刚才在市集买来的食材做早餐。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKtr1ibHj0
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv76B9NCAE
虽说人在厅堂可心却在床上，准确地说是床上的家伙。做饭期间荷鲁斯时不时会回过头去查看红发人的情况，但那家伙多半不是在发呆就是在发呆的路上，差别只在于是盯着天花板或窗外。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwzCadbgos
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRfaAWNAOD
捣鼓了半天，荷鲁斯才逐一将饭菜端上桌，虽说是饭菜吧，盘中的玩意儿看上去貌似和食物这个说法相差甚远。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyr2Hmqutz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMeRsqEOTR
真要说，这三百年来唯一没有随着时间长进的莫过于就是荷鲁斯的厨艺。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFeHHrpLY6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bBxq4lHgf
“吃饭了。”荷鲁斯道，盛起最后一盘菜，回过头的时候发现对方已站在桌边，双目直勾勾盯着盘里的食物。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmAfPqK8w
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMxjjdqKRS
这家伙走路都没声的吗……荷鲁斯心想道，目光来到对方那一双赤脚上。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhuiGY7TZ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdnpTKlCeb
饭桌上，红发人面对一桌饭菜不为所动。荷鲁斯曾多番尝试和他沟通，但回应他的终究是沉默。事到如今荷鲁斯甚至想过对方或许是哑巴，就连最初在边陲之地的那一声“帮帮我”，都极可能是他的错觉。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHVhlaBySy
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHT5YeWDCa
“怎么？不饿吗？”荷鲁斯问道，“别看它们长得一副生人勿近的模样，其实味道还是挺不错的。”说罢，叉起盘里的一块红萝卜：“就比如这个，刚从早市买回来的，可新鲜了。”语毕，顺势将萝卜送往嘴里。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGJRkL3H1d
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XFwsgQA8L
亏荷鲁斯能这般大言不惭，与其说是红萝卜，倒不如叫黑萝卜，就算本来是新鲜的食材，那也是上辈子下锅前的事。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fyixTmVMS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiaMfdXZUS
“萝……卜。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5U8YG6iZC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFZQ0esP1s
荷鲁斯一怔，递到嘴边的萝卜落入了盘中。他缓缓抬头向声音的方向看去，只见坐在对面的红发人正用叉子一遍一遍捣弄着盘里的食物，像个孩子牙牙学语般，喃喃地重复着那两个字：“萝……卜。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSknsIyPqc8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZNu2RAFXI
原来不是哑巴吗？荷鲁斯心道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAYlzDdmkx
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoA0OfoAcO
难道是语言不相通？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6sZxf0AVR
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D31KXIV97
“嗯，这是萝卜没错……”看着盘里焦黑的萝卜，荷鲁斯略显心虚道。只能说此刻的萝卜已然看不出其生前的面貌。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kDvXoK3wE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqgERr3XTt
红发人效法着荷鲁斯，试探性地用叉子戳了戳盘里的萝卜，就是握叉子的姿势都略显生疏。这不禁让荷鲁斯感到奇怪，不成这家伙是头一次使用叉子？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtzZ5KNc79
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl81jHQSjm
视线不自觉来到那头火红的长发上，其实打从见到的第一眼，荷鲁斯就想过此人可能是异域者。不同于在凯米特大陆土生土长的塞尔罗姆人和含米列特人，异域者是对于非原住民的统称，没有人知道他们从何而来，有人说神在创造凯米特大陆的时候也创造了其他大陆，异域者大概率来自其他大陆。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5tOGHXcTf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRPcCDYOU6
但没有人能确定所谓其他大陆是否真实存在，目前能用来区分凯米特子民和异域者的方式就只有肤色和发色。异域者通常拥有较浅的肤色和发色，不过像红发人这样鲜艳的红，荷鲁斯还是头一次见。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHcgNJVY6
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39HYvufMkk
既是异域者，那么拥有不一样的文化习惯也说得过去吧？或许在他们的文化里并不使用餐具。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ8CQ6JYpf
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Im5pW0yjW
“先这样……然后插下去。”荷鲁斯当着红发人的面亲自示范，先是用叉子插向萝卜，再送往嘴里。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYb6PymW7j
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LODpBUPNN
红发人似懂非懂，依样造做，结局是萝卜掉了，掉在了地上。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CJsNgo5VS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwdgNPJuvU
二人面面相觑，盯着掉在地上的萝卜约莫半晌，荷鲁斯最终还是决定亲自上手。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ3q3CQNsp
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXdOAUZj3r
“张嘴。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9IhPu0nvh
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIRwVB1REc
红发人歪过头，面对递到眼前的食物感到不解，似乎并未看穿荷鲁斯的意图。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbshk4teI
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLO9QVjgsY
“我让你吃了。”说完又将食物递近了几分，“啊——”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Lg2liPVs
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPxPsyJjwx
“啊——”红发人照学，这下食物是进嘴里了，但很快又被吐了出来。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FPMS7Q4lA
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzoUp9owC6
这萝卜虽说丑是丑了点，但味道也不至于糟糕到难以下咽的地步吧？荷鲁斯随即抱持着实验的心态，分别投喂了甜瓜和鹌鹑，岂料这回倒是吃进去了，看来对于萝卜只是单纯的讨厌。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmPHxZwbeH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oeGWNVBle
“没成想你这家伙还挺挑食。”说话间，荷鲁斯的嘴角不自觉上扬。值得庆幸的是，能够进食人类的食物说明眼前的家伙不是魔，既不是魔便没有铲除的必要。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0rvcWFPDz
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiMt2CvogE
“一会儿你就安分待在家里不要乱跑，我得出一趟门，预计傍晚才回来。知道了吗？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3hjETk5JE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVfTzcfmFg
闻言，红发人歪过头，嘴里还叼着啃一半的烤鹌鹑。见此，荷鲁斯不由得叹了口气：“唉……和你说这么多干嘛呢，你又听不懂。反正我去去就回。”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OqsPzT8QQ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMGv9TQMOg
说罢，收拾桌面上的食物，接着便出门了。但荷鲁斯不知道的是，那双黑色的眸子自从他离开后便没再从闭合的门板上移开过。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlIolVScWi
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtvwVDS7St
为了承担双倍的伙食费，荷鲁斯不得不打起零工。他再次以驱鬼人的身份接起金乌榜上的委托。这次的委托内容是清除后山南面的双头蛇，对于荷鲁斯，两三个时辰便能完成。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAMlzNS3W
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZqb19zjDM
执行委托任务的期间，荷鲁斯不禁回想在边陲之地和红发人初遇的情景，真要说来，选择把对方带回来其实还有个出于私心的理由，那便是关于自己身世的谜团。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AopMcwfO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2TwQu292d
几乎从有记忆以来，每晚荷鲁斯都会重复作着同样的梦，梦的内容他已经记不清了，梦醒后遗忘已成常态，他曾多番试图回忆却都无济于事。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ivVp9gie
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dKZaQmlgH
可几乎是在城墙外见到红发人的第一眼，荷鲁斯便产生了一种强烈的感觉，虽仅有一瞬，但那道身影确实短暂地和梦中的人影重合了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGtSyxRT1

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuSzSwsQbT
随着最后一条蛇被装入袋中，委托任务也告了段落。荷鲁斯拖着沈甸甸的麻布袋前往实习殿兑换报酬，数着囊中的德本铜心中甚是欢喜。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWoqNmLnxK
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eSu97PC1L
踩在被夕阳映红的街道，微风拂面，空气中隐约飘着花香，道路两侧的商家收拾着摊贩，其中就有一个装满鲜花的小推车。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt18AMVkT9z
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxkkdIWwVP
荷鲁斯这才意识到昨日落脚过于仓促，加上抵达城镇已是夜晚时分，截至目前为止都未能好好欣赏一番镇上的景色。此时放慢脚步环顾周遭的一切，还反倒形成了一种惬意美。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrLmuXel2x
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdCKdPf7L
殊不知，得来不易的宁静并没有维持太久，荷鲁斯的注意力很快便被一阵吵杂声吸引了过去。他闻声而去，发现那吵杂声竟传自一条巷弄。过路的行人选择避而远之，显然不愿卷入其中。除了杂声还依稀可闻窸窸窣窣的交谈声，可当荷鲁斯听清里头的内容后，顿时产生一股不祥的预感。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU361zYyUY

35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpm46HQcP
荷鲁斯顿感不妙，本能驱使下来到巷弄中，只见三五孩子成群围作一团，对着包围在中心的东西恶言相向、拳打脚踢。定睛一看，那东西还貌似是个人。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVGZmkcg28

“来人了！快撤！”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxuzbGKivR

孩子们见状拔腿就跑，不一会儿便全没了影。这一刻荷鲁斯也总算看清那人的脸，虽说早猜到会是他，可当那张破碎的面容与预期中的脸重合到一处时，心还是不免凉了半截。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZv8yVTl0E
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMqAf6usGH
“萝……卜。”红发人用着颤抖的声音虚弱道，脸上、手上、腿上紫一块青一块，全身上下无一处完肤，有被打被踢的，还有被石头砸的。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsITJl4VyD

与此同时，屋内的荷鲁斯冥冥之中预感到什么，几乎在醒过来的当下便意识到人不见了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YqmAGuJu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMC97tzncf
坏了……真是一刻也不让人省心！35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblM7mVt5zX

荷鲁斯连忙出门寻人，然而没走几步，远远地就看见沐浴在月光之下的红发人。他先是一愣，随即才反应过来，这家伙总是一副不谙世事的模样，甚至都能把他荷鲁斯和萝卜弄混，没准下一秒就能把自己溺死。情急之下，荷鲁斯几乎想都没想，径直下水打算捞人。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2SovMfn29

水位大约没过腰际，随着两者之间的距离拉近，红发人也注意到了荷鲁斯的存在。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDNyb0e8K

“不是和你说了别乱跑，大半夜的你……”荷鲁斯刚开口，然而到了嘴边的话却在瞬间憋了回去。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtizmGlllO
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzR6Z5ZCX
怎么回事……？目光……对上了？35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zZW8dhRi
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3LI0tyFJs
这一刻荷鲁斯总算看清红发人的神情，不，与其说是神情，他整个人的气质和给人的感觉都不一样了，就好像变了个人似的。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfR8ZOIlVY
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu9BFEPISU
原先混浊的眸子里终于有了光，脸上也多了活人的气息，真要形容起来，就好像白瓷娃娃被重新注入灵魂一样。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xlmJAqhr8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpjwyhTp4u
“你……”荷鲁斯愣愣道，眼下他反倒成了略显退缩的那一方。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvHEd3MJS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFAD9cewgN
“大半夜的……你也来洗澡？”红发人口吻轻佻道，嘴角还勾着浅浅的笑意。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGlT0zL0So
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUt8vXCQSt
果然不是荷鲁斯的错觉，这家伙给人的感觉真的不一样了。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY0c7fRMoB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcyjfmwlc6
“不是……我……”荷鲁斯缓了缓道：“我是出来寻人的……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4v1lygBu2
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimFJ53zCt
“那人……可寻着了？”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLHioqM7SU
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkQ1TFZsGq
可是那样的笑，却又特别好看。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayQ3rMqoEW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UmMIEIZcc
“嗯……”荷鲁斯道：“寻着了……”35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TJByhjGWl
