2161年2月19日，早上九點，仙境大樓，三層559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkEAaPsdsa
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHzZJPNlHu
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNceqrzNHNm
同一天的早晨，大西洋的另一端，里奧、葛蕾絲、李博洋、MIO、江云格、謝綠，六人聚集在三樓，討論他們新加入的成員。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cGBVj2gLT
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewp3zWnesR
賴梓綾，主教賴霜原的三女兒，因為白化症被視為薩拉凱爾教的惡魔。被帶回仙境大樓後，她一直處於昏迷狀態，昨晚謝綠和葛蕾絲幫她洗了澡，此刻的賴梓綾躺在三樓的長沙發，蓋著一條暖和的被子。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGYVjBX8a
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO3Nx7gea2
「我很困惑。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5XLEy0GcY
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs3niOSq85
在旁照顧人的謝綠，手輕輕放在賴梓綾的被子上，問大家：「按照出生日期，她應該小我六歲，怎麼外表看起來比我年長？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXvbFGcgNO
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8j4buc8rU
確實，賴梓綾的實際年齡只有八歲，卻有著高中生般的外表。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpHMDtNijZ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSb28CYUoW
坐在高腳椅上的李博洋表示：「我弟實際年齡只有十六，看起來也像二十幾歲呀。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPGQfcP0Pm
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntMGpczpsX
謝綠反駁：「因為他和MIO有過交換，那不一樣。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGtC1YSzn
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4xiGh3UVc
李博洋的視線移到謝綠旁的江云格，「云格實際年齡也不到十歲，還不是長這樣。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsARbiDyT9F
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ii08K1SA9
江云格苦笑，「我是貓，不能用人類的方式計算年紀。」也想到：「會不會是因為水果塔？我記得，賴梓綾繼承的是睡鼠？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl56bkk9s5T
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB7glx4qhx
「睡鼠……很少聽到的名字。」謝綠說出大家的心聲，她問里奧和葛蕾絲：「那是什麼樣的水果塔？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZvU8gckqI
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0mFJiNdiN
「……。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD5QEFzXY6
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5M5pez9M
只要妹妹在場，里奧幾乎不開口，葛蕾絲會幫他說話。這一次，葛蕾絲用奇怪的眼神看著里奧，好像在用眼神交流，思考該怎麼回答。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7Ae6Pi8S
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SypPthjGU
「第一代水果塔『睡鼠（The Dormouse）』，我們叫他小約翰（Yohanna），本名不清楚，只知道他姓賴。」葛蕾絲坐在另一張沙發，「他的水果塔叫『水晶』，顧名思義，是跟礦物有關的能力，他的身體由各式各樣的礦物組成。因為不是血肉之軀，小約翰的身體很硬、力氣很大，就算受傷，恢復速度也很快。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyWihZhVZO
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OcnYh4vYj
謝綠問：「外表也不會因為年齡改變？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyBkMmLalU
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPCh85OWZa
葛蕾絲想了想，「好像是。我記憶中的小約翰，一直都是深藍色頭髮、綁著兩條辮子的小孩，外表很像女孩子。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhrGc3mE53
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3CPi8NZno
謝綠發現葛蕾絲的口氣很奇怪，「葛蕾絲姊，妳是不是也不清楚？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdeXAmC1gu
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmueKpj9OWE
「哈哈，被發現了。」葛蕾絲尷尬一笑，「不只我們，大部分的第一代水果塔，都跟小約翰不熟。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0kZj8YKe
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYiFBkFlM
「媽媽的記憶裡也沒有他。」MIO坐在李博洋的大腿上，轉了轉黑色的眼珠，「不過，好像有一點點點點點點……印象，他是不是闖過禍？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeUboLyXin
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePzIepqVAJ
「噢，妳指『都市氣爆案』嗎？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDWtOl3Cgo
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ifxtojuc
MIO的話喚起葛蕾絲的回憶。江云格疑惑，「『都市氣爆案』？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQrQI350s6
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd9PWM949H
「小約翰曾經毀掉一個都市。」葛蕾絲解答。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUysiTaeJ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdI9Ognxve
「……這已經不是『闖禍』了。」李博洋傻眼，「小約翰這麼強？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYgLb5uckl
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Qv1yFz1g
「不，小約翰攻擊時，只能讓地板、牆壁長出一堆水晶柱。論一對一單挑，他的實力比不上其他人。」葛蕾絲附上但書：「但他的操控範圍，是第一代水果塔裡最廣的。當年他情緒失控，讓整個城市──包括地上、地下──全部佈滿他的水晶柱，引發大規模的氣爆和火災，死了好幾百人，最後是獅鷲出手揍他，才結束掉那場災難。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpETPHIEmjz
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsHSg52XP
葛蕾絲說，旁邊的里奧也被喚醒記憶。他那時收到高宇維的通知，然後李仲翔出現、用白色空間將他帶到現場。父親給他的任務只有一個：從火海中救出倖存者，救一個算一個。里奧穿梭在火焰中，空氣中瀰漫人被燒死的味道，還要防範四面八發的水晶，有的上面插著死人……天啊，真的是災難。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7T3ATUN3
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM79kbbisey
「那之後，夏悠將小約翰交給李仲翔，也多虧他，小約翰沒有再失控，和李仲翔的感情非常好，大家都覺得很神奇。」葛蕾絲表示：「李仲翔是冷漠的人，但他對小約翰……怎麼說，溺愛嗎？小約翰每天黏著他，李仲翔也不覺得煩，還很疼他。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31AjYIFMN2
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv9SY5PHuQ
「……只有李仲翔知道小約翰的本名。」里奧終於開口說話：「也因為李仲翔，小約翰是『白色仲夏』的一員，最後被獅鷲殺死。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfmtjVnJI
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZ61CpE2l
葛蕾絲嘆氣，「小約翰死後，李仲翔就瘋了。他很強，無論如何都能保持冷靜、作出正確的判斷；就算打不贏獅鷲，也不至於被殺。因為小約翰先死，李仲翔失去理智、喪失判斷能力，最後也被獅鷲殺了。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5IGLfKUrL
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5AZjM3EQL
眾人陷入沉默。不管聽幾次，第一代水果塔的故事都是悲劇。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83f3bqfMLa
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KqfLx29uh
「我想，也是因為水果塔，賴梓綾才沒有外傷吧。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVehCJGIZ5k
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWuCB6Mlg
不喜歡沉默的葛蕾絲轉換話題。她用輕鬆的口氣說，試著緩和氣氛，「明明被殘忍對待，我和小綠幫她洗澡時，卻沒在她身上看到疤痕。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz5OMA909r
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGPbjIX5yw
「但賴梓綾會流血。」MIO舉手表示：「這跟小約翰又不一樣。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp7bfhwsIk
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnEG97I67h
「因為水果塔沒有完全覺醒。小約翰的身體由礦物組成，不吃東西也能活，但你們看，賴梓綾長期營養不良，瘦得只剩骨架，要是她的水果塔已經覺醒，不會有這種問題。」葛蕾絲再說：「賴梓綾體內的睡鼠，目前只有『恢復速度快』，其它有待觀察。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVShhfifh7
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbPlP4X1zZ
葛蕾絲說完，某人也來到三樓──剛睡醒的李晴煬突然走進來，MIO跟他說早安，李晴煬卻沒有回應。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RAxilgX06
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOcbgoFcl
「弟弟？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvllrQ5RCL
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxgJDe1aP
李博洋覺得奇怪。自己就算了，平常的李晴煬不會忽略MIO。不只沒回應，李晴煬的眼神、表情都異常呆滯，渾身散發的氣場很不對勁。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVXYFSMpde
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIQhqGnvP3
「……！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96F0kDcNIM
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2piWEcKmB
就在此時，沙發上的賴梓綾猛然睜開眼睛。謝綠正想關心她，賴梓綾卻把她的手打開，開始尖叫──559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBWeInoXNs
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBzoHkwLa9
「啊啊……啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQOtcPstV
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTCiKzew3y
賴梓綾不會說話，看到人會本能性地發狂。她恐慌，她害怕，覺得所有人都會拿東西砍她的腳、刺她的身體、拔她的指甲，所以她拼命掙扎，推開謝綠，兩個人一起摔到地上。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiHlQg2UGs
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPlvK4ePi
「小綠！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6FjfOx2j
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMaeI1Src
江云格也上前，靠體型優勢抓住賴梓綾的手，但少女像一隻動物，竟然狠狠咬住江云格的手臂，逼得江云格不得不放開，被咬的地方當場流血。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILC8C9of1K
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKQPaBXXSn
「啊！啊啊！啊啊啊啊！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JtadR8FQ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfm2X8GV9q
賴梓綾失控，李博洋抱著MIO退到旁邊，目睹一切的葛蕾絲原本要出手，卻被里奧攔下。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UwV8kc0Hi
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcaY8q9hgs
「哥，你幹嘛？」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yTu3pQgsp
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgSpI2z1Pu
「噓。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqI3a6049
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcT8d9gTp3
里奧叫葛蕾絲別出聲，眼神示意大家退到牆邊。此刻的賴梓綾彷彿一隻白色、有著紅眼睛的野獸，如今面對這頭野獸的，只剩李晴煬一人。
「啊啊！啊……啊啊啊……！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ820Vt6hkbQ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcbI1aPVq
賴梓綾仍在吼叫，奇怪的是，原本全身緊繃、警戒四周的她，看見李晴煬的那一剎那，四肢漸漸放鬆，失控的情緒竟緩和下來。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3pC3Qu1gu
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2BvQRKswl
「……。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7cJV8DSx
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUdASWurvk
李晴煬依然面無表情。他看著賴梓綾，賴梓綾也看著他，兩雙紅色的眼睛對上彼此，然後，賴梓綾用那雙細細的手，撐起身子，慢慢站起來。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07gc2pP5f
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YEWaLvrA8
雖然身材消瘦，但賴梓綾站起來的瞬間，在場六人都嚇了一跳。上一秒是野獸，此刻閉上嘴巴、靜靜站在那裡時，他們才驚覺這是多麼漂亮的人──及腰的白色長髮，白雪般的肌膚，扇子般的白色睫毛，搭配一雙淺紅色的眼睛，好像從童話故事走出來的雪精靈。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfXIXaz17
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50NbANHknU
「噢呀。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMKpNFJJ6K
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNlJ84M9QI
然後，賴梓綾緩緩地，朝李晴煬走去。她不會說話，但跟剛才的尖叫不同，她對著李晴煬、發出聲音：559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO0PMiNcQO
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXwfxfPd3x
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdXfvH42py
「噢呀。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdeJLZtrL
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87uF5vkruo
「噢呀……噢呀……！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Q7SZL5PM
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjogcanGI6f
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TgdKB5ksX
聲音有起伏、有語調，謝綠和江云格不知道，但MIO、李博洋、葛蕾絲、里奧四人，一聽就知道賴梓綾在說什麼。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgP7axvw5H
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlvknHuFF3
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn8s2LRi6a
「仲翔。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDW11bPfIx
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFCia8XR9m
他在叫他。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YR54w46mc
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnmcPDtlPz
不是賴梓綾和李晴煬，是小約翰和李仲翔。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLW5TbaStA
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL6aNai2Fv
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTojMl7Bu
「噢呀……！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMTJzscAXJ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwZ2SsaL5
賴梓綾伸出手，抓住李晴煬的衣服。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRq8tZv7hU
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKTRi3nQX
「嗚……噢呀……嗚嗚……！」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9Fzg2k2r
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH0YyeDLvi
她雙腿一軟、整個人跪到地上，眼淚莫名其妙流下來。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoeuyPnJXq
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u5aaFsepV
賴梓綾開始哭，哭得非常、非常傷心。一直沒反應的李晴煬，突然彎下腰、單膝跪地，做出令人費解的舉動──他從口袋拿出刀子，讓賴梓綾拿著；再握住她的手，讓賴梓綾在他的食指劃上一刀，割出一個口子。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH92ekD8B5
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVxfeiKRgq
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaOvdtW73l
「來。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVBIs1sVJ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57eEcKNUaz
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyNRWdbH6J
李晴煬終於開口，但那個聲音不像他，李晴煬不會用夾帶氣音的方式說話。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkrbTl28i0
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueRDHwzFU
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYJUJGcgcc
「這裡。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvqVjHqNLw
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9cPJxZUwg
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUUYY7gjY3
李晴煬將自己食指上的血，抹在賴梓綾的手上。他露出恐怖又溫柔的微笑，將賴梓綾沾滿血的手指放到自己嘴角，輕輕挪動賴梓綾的手指。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap9JfFjgrf
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARp68sm7U
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELWP8qDq8E
「沒錯，就是這樣。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlmEZGsy5A
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj9Iyn58xG
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5doA0iwKZv
李晴煬對她說。賴梓綾停下眼淚，先看自己的手，再看李晴煬的臉……好像被引導到什麼之中，不用李晴煬幫忙，賴梓綾慢慢移動手指，彷彿，用血在李晴煬的臉上畫畫。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjns8ctcH
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrwZhPYASC
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD0Y4kpTfY
「只有你可以這麼做。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDootmmBDCp
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEhGwHkYD
「只有你可以對我這麼做。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzfEpJGo1
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzTtSM6T4
「我接受你對我這麼做。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7eM2ZscA
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVceNHLkIg
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaP89iXwYT
李晴煬一邊說，一邊笑，一邊睜大他的眼睛。血沿著嘴角往上畫，畫到左耳的耳根子邊。在場所有人都傻在原地，眼前的畫面太詭異、太奇怪、太……可怕，尤其是李晴煬的聲音，他的話有頭沒尾，令人毛骨悚然。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9RvY5Shgf
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h8O2AmRDj
「哥，這是……」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY47moloN1
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Q7ZNH7a5
「嗯。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltgJUTY3NC
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7ADSDuwr
里奧和葛蕾絲看著兩人，眼前的畫面與一百年前重疊，李仲翔抓著小約翰的手，把自己的身體當成畫布，給小約翰作畫。559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDBEcY8rVS
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME2VOjuQb7
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7JThVclDZ
「這就是愛。」559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESQ08CVwc0
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0SjoPgJeJ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBZpQHggBJ
一百年前的李仲翔、一百年後的李晴煬，用很輕的聲音，告訴一百年前的小約翰、一百年後的賴梓綾：559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctMAaxFZir
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXYqZRvzwZ
559Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE44wICmUPK
「這就是，你對我的愛。」
