2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxXjsZnORk
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXoGLc2NMy
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EvhL9lqhE
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4drALweWiX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA15ClqUfG
「……。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y84D1jCcW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazLki8EZK
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDvA1ISY1
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z6PtIZ38w
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswCvECCM5p
「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……」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDl0bHzzPZ
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAptsFaPAq
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHNAwqsLD
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0IV5shuzo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvCNCnKmD0
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyf7BKkAkd
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAZza7Ftg
「你是第一次參加？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMC0CyGVdw
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCuyuzsD8
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXf37333b
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yyUGT15Ut
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x00j2HMvC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSTdDEdyS7
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo2HrdAsXF
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44knlyS1nz
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7P0gBCog
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Mz3Kl44D
「今年又為什麼來？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrgJxlJAZf
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xYyXKzUKL
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKenf2LbUrK
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOVbc9lMAJ
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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLzlUmkiHS
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmHzaeKz70
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3sf9AnvKX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEBydME0cN
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkytZDbdJX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kP8cQgqIT
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FK3W5Tx8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIzmVMWbTM
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsnN0dLtd
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNyjxbLQJh
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLKnfknZWb
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwFXiGnm3h
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLp5yipm5Q
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcLWbO0vkr
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXY193duyR
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKufdU6L7
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgPbUQA4S
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfz5VhquLO
「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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgqmtrMUhi
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qcfVlyOBR
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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SHoGCjpCw
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2CqRPsId1
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVBUjjONNB
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDjWl0w4tX
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNJ8g56yx3
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J7OMJahbr
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h98KmIdJM
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3OWpPo5uY
「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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWfTgJjVzM
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zweyY5Q5
「妳……！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK87z46Sit
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD92qlo7E1
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJy8bJiUX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuoh3gyZr
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvAE4leimL
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSqhLYZCJx
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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJCF7mI9N7
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM97ff0juf
「你知道？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiovlonddY
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uLGufrALV
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjToh1n0y7G
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPbRFWlEP3
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZrnsd55HW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxuWMLtEp
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2IO4ApLnZ
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF5pcQKwjy
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarg1KBWktM
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWuZMj87nX
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgUD4yFShh
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP5FMJrVYi
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamGiE2qVX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWcKuXGgvJ
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZML8gq755U
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFYRBZFjDq
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTNtWVZzXF
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkgDVpPGfR
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPYbjhJS4
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpq4eP6QOd
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNTNez8W0a
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJp1GSyWZb
「時…時尚？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv58RH4Nci
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00fnKXatjt
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIL5FOwsPM
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZWUvu9T3
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCbENsa6xI
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RJUqtSt6q
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTK9Lab1yu
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zb8pxZUZz
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzb7X3Ktt1
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09EZdOt1oQ
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tdVgVFhId
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2aoFDA9Rm
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirtIHn96NR
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4pipPNy9B
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuwJ3f1JF8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS4OJcuaJY
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdj2j7fspo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBKXoe054Q
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTePI49rgf2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgvJIBoAww
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueL5k4wUKp
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4jXjT3rT
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DFLfzKxvW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIOQ1v3t1
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldeV4jznz
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXaL8sscb
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH3Ed5VM7E
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVmAHMQpwN
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4mqkNA9A2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPzupAVdUz
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBn9pFTmrO
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RIuHx1faX
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYburJD77g
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8RcNVlxKz
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNGYPn4An
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eqIKzBfml
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqZIqYaHEl
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFK5yVZdSf
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpPDB5qkKP
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoEfVVY2zd
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsQtkGlOOK
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrbjcddUU
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUQA0nmaE2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgytR0oCdL
「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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRg7fqIDNQ
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2hhb4bu1P
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VWnTzPMuA
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQjXbgEkI
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJydiEcQV4L
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DfFpuiMEM
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxKmST19Si
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKIkpLNMlo
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJixm2HQQi
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKYwAYXur0
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZgi7UHQpX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBA4qMYPZP
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJuh1VBXfF
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3j8Zl26HF
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPJlPky56
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dDgUw2lYZ
「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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFY2LGL7A7
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlftSme00P
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdamsVVnSbV
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYu5NegEDk
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMZHRgFHrl
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRTELqiDDc
「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──」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4G9NRCUV
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNRrr2CDfw
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd2op9Ew3U
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIYLRd8RMW
「……。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNmfpVtUkU
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswrIWe90By
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZhtwfx62G
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAyrAmwSMA
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDoTxazjr
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZB3HssNj4
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：839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkKLoa9v1U
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNkxzOkS9Y
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyQCRi8Q2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQey4iSCqqo
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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT61VnRabET
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRoIlriWLF
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpoGp7w2NO
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTshy7Igj4
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──839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTrx33mFo1
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxib1n7HaM
「里奧．懷特。」
