2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwrKcbRKwT
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmPj2tx9pR
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKVpqzR2x8
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdjFlHZIKr
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9QQLyrVN4
「……。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQFGz3tU5g
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GQpPoYoJS
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwRtBlBotF
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPygiz7O026
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAGT5Lqos9
「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……」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHzxJnbkzu
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6texzQF1A
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3rG3OX4ij
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3kTVYPyK
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8J5gEp8nP
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmrxEXagf
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpRl3fRMN5
「你是第一次參加？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf5JHnPRGT
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgyv3QY5jG
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBJhqVKi3X
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsaCHvE2b6
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F9uNR7AyF
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX7DVyHmUb
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r5PzbndUR
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFN3ysCYDw
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6u2iT3GvO
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3E5LiA4OP
「今年又為什麼來？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yevIuvyxK
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9EO7Eh2Pa
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWum019blr
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaIcFpRKJo
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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhFqLDnoo7
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuGKEf6OFk
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZrOrLNGc3
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X8bCUFGYW
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0lzZw3mCJ
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwygOuDuTLZ
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTP65mjtl
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWon3eKRsH
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrxPqTVw5j
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhZLhw4MAd
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QiEUw7wAP
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vBvUi9tH9
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXhJp7A0xk
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYg9AkN6xY
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51c4BYa4pX
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HS13husf7
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkZmnhvSj
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqFoBgy8G1
「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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwFpIt7sMP
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlprsT1b4O
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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVaAaBus5u
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32XPOz5uug
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIDVEEIrry
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSfAdpzYB
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7AYsYJORW
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFiFBPTXMr
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBeoPeEcGi
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubyGsmGbFe
「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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPUHZOUjID
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxfe6529La
「妳……！」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc54jxEuqJG
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kkTkvGwxs
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTqicrYg7j
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBEXa7ZJP
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSZOO1Ka5Y
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEURrAjSQf
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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98TWrcWOa6
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHndwkHIjN
「你知道？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYRBb2ryqw
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl26OXvzWTM
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE5UrUU0ug
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIALAhVJFhV
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6APQFyRDQ
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAunQHvllz
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbGmWiZ83F
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNZDgamvl
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPhblHwQCh
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHInfEZlxD
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVDIpqntIc
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQuW21ziyH
「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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbOaF0dIlo
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW8qV8gUMV
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMAhzIh4uG
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSf07S1NQ3
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hEcx1fKth
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsn7JNuZIM
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TK3if8eVU
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7x3dvqbUU
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIXclUzX2Z
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPbH9evXnV
「時…時尚？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAoun0BOw2
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJl9KSRGV
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaA8I8502Z
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcfVXGW1ck
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXoa6fO0xI
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5C1Zvtk0A
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJiff9AmvX
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAmCUtbCTR
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkklfuAlkZ
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsuFS1RM7y
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnG5qIv2qg
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmsJ5XxPkd
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu5AarTdQN
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkMnb9uMau
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ4Y9f2Mb4
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQkQApFUm
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCmUhgRuEw
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgLW4NkxJ
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFoy17lEp
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTTXxd58F
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqT3VrheaH
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmkJjH297
「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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TNhDy5r9
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRXLn89QMN
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiUYZdg0W
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkzbYRU5p4
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QKat5nOdI
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoy9Uo8PEy
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkz1LzxZi
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTQv8jrHtP
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5hwTIVX2G
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvbTHbN6gy
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUO15r6hx
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kymRsjyiA
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHbG3Ca76k
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcDl5nDYSO
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVaXaD50ov
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xAmnJGROB
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgBnEx8wlW
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgzhme2nKz
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZnAcfaRHx
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvafiCgUsWQ
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFsFeJa3lH
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBi3WGRg0I
「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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qQDrTfMe
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzdwLf0GVy
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJFAG0X2C
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe6YcyYdCh
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWq6R4Goxc
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoyBq3Enhg
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyn58HUlTo
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedw5nSzzP
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ROBf5Yy1
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOI1rWNaP
「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。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5RJo4MkG
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvopphQRjW
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJm3f4w7p
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZtC4j4Bu
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqIOH64QzV
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLxOTxZXZR
「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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCPNuxx8YI
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2NXWlyPPG
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJEHBXWr3T
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrzr454mn
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3OwoeeqMD
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzLeMPYc7
「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──」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFrZKJQQwc
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPxtbu7e2
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。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Bty3Zm1y
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJos2XkJYp
「……。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSRp0sakE
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuvQETflpu
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EVd9sfYog
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ5Oq2yxn4
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9XqqqBPl
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHd2A4msST
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：838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOt4wmHn72
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncehQNEge
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUbCxiktHa
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5DfYfvei
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？」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8osEI344q
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfpjSWRnW2
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GKIFhvafP
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH31GgDBgRU
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──838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm0nsEGpqo
838Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu2MCFgDsK
「里奧．懷特。」
