2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yS89E7PPV

855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqovarg93X1
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zXztJLCyf
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1SSRoT5ZH
「……。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWKEM3MTd6
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O1JVysMcJ
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71pb56npX
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhPHA7Z37P
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRpHnQYKHQ
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Dcm5lo4S
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5boYW79FJ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLMZ6I6C59
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWthhgiD377
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2M0LdGRnD
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjFZzZOxiC
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKS1bEje3e
「你是第一次參加？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmfd7C1M5T
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ3BgOJR8i
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHovZRflQw
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjp0ymS1ou
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OuxJ9nKQq
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkjdfUa7Us
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2kExsSvcU
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOtlN9rFOV
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF3IhiJN3m
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5bLezo1U
「今年又為什麼來？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wdGa0pGk0
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHrPC2qqcf
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnShGrS5Hq4
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMYf9jLiF
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWTEo1xycH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwqwlb4iQ0
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq98UoRREXS
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieCHWz367B
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXtJxYfcbv
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbATpJn6a1M
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbW1djhjB
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF8hH8l8C3
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz94T3JtDIe
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroX0ka2hTJ
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4greQ2oh4f
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0fPDW3Dz7
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLeduO4d5v
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnAat0vXyd
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLEtSVyyQW
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdkVfu5KJV
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAoXKi86mk
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdvxUVW7ZV
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3px0kQQQT
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YmsXtGPHF
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUGjVQfAlA
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlh56XWqlT
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbfW2Hl5d
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLI4JfA3X2
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEwVRPawq1
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GW1awwNi0
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yTZYdt2de
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjqZK0M74d
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63KuODD3FS
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO8RtCq30q
「妳……！」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhz5gJBgGG
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6ZtAeDD1
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02h5Y46YaG
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7CEfRN7Iq
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvUB33uGex
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTUnWkh0e5
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw3M5UT3Cw
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX7w5rTiGs
「你知道？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkmIY9ur2x
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VmFuAIqQ
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5jlQT4nH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNs3EH1SF4
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhij15zIAp
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7EMBRZuHe
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQnaKl77Em
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlU8pAKVYw
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpa2yFN3MA
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcNMFwAal1
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWAxzNFvvz
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDbzxX6q5W
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLeU1jvWeu
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qJ3JGUmLT
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLH6Q8Ta5Y
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6s843rBPB
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNqxs3rM4
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg8NtTxutA
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ymJObyYn
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJK0KTVFee
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTHYEhjyeL
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bKds1nDDi
「時…時尚？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiSDLaaspQ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxGfaHYOxa
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFJwA4P1v
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchPBaUmMWS
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DFqhIO8rP
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnCjzUbbIJ
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJYai6ajcR
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7gbxt8pr5
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6rXKXEyTJ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLar3k9s3L
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjUzvM935
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROS5ybnMPe
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGMsm04mCK
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqve86lEmTC
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyvFXACbE
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUJkThRJlq
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYrG9AaXpl
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpLPJ5wMhw
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZux3M7zf4b
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OgYglTLyd
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8SiWeB2Z
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfIn93w6B
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jRzYHfdwh
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDAL0WgUv
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fALmAciV2
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ZwHlvtPB
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUyPafzZRx
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxV5NUmXZ
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tuHRbzN8o
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6a4N3msUv
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepoaqz0DQb
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOQ53WH5dv
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcyySqhiL
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1Cc2row6
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSz5JVbiuy
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM01ViqnCJm
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMsktsxkzr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7BDzUdEtm
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOZfMPZ6vP
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mH75VtVxC
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVq5apBPSB
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jYNsFM8In
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKnCzdmyap
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w04JsIIiA
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRkARFeRgp
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qw5elK19O
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOBIcr9xBg
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcotgDNMQQ
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgz0adlAt9
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyIVmdobCX
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWpQymOzpa
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppRHPCS7t1
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEipxEXdzJl
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQuyDHDAd5
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUai8EOAFAp
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZMJ2LBiyz
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh2iwhA4pS
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1kbbqLFV5
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sE4aiOzw9
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo4UC5MNaJ
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzamzCn5R0
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3un7NySgMi
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqeGCMNAR0
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4dDKeoBA
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ZVvI4moF
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjrSocTev
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhhB5FpuJt
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRuTX46kqk
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1BVoFZbiA
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvw4S7JXkn
「……。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPyBYsO9rC
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofkcXEjCfr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqRU6X74nP
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrXt6iUNFr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAwqLaqT4V
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaL02tZe67
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoI1fKYfGN
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50VDNPbxCr
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQLkX08v9e
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdF0zxmqB
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcVje3UBMR
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p2DvjF4fz
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFcKj6SpE
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQ31NGw3i
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkfKfwIgUn
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPUDf33Z8W
「里奧．懷特。」
