2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTSkEJ5ypA
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpebRiZKY9
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hxUhAshLh
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILkR5Z4d7m
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xgmr0xRb
「……。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uNJ05BmKS
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmpXrfkO37
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFO8mrzw2F
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ZX6g3PFL
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeljBP0b1O
「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……」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sTwp1GUO6
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnr9trMP71
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqHYxjbkHa
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEw3eoIwyc
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUXUTBdTAz
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO2joGuSe5
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNovYHXCba
「你是第一次參加？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN3VDrrCPf
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lEhCcMA06
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOoJlKNwS
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDToCx3wX1q
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOagNgUeiOb
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL3DSzC0LR
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyYKpw5vH7
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdxHXRjBjH
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8FEE94OR2
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DQDtX0dNk
「今年又為什麼來？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA75c4aE03
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWkcz7ZHKt
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yjp9BzIeD
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UP74cJCxM
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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8pzvRNS75
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz58wcxeqH
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLQqCMa43
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUWEM01ZvO
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlzuESfY5d
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCO8Qu3tIX
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtvRrXrN6R
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBHXJxWIG
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8t4ucMNPB
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTvVc8vjy1
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJgPPN3W4s
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHAvlI0bAU
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBC1xcy5TC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeufxdpWVi
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ifG2BfUIC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTukNPc9dd
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74YRNhet0x
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkyUYgo77h
「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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp2uYwNVtx
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlN9Z9EGNc
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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuGGFBn3OA
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOuePHHqR
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalKTcbdS6y
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84nYqKHJbL
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvSRteFqAK
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMauFXudswS
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumhMi8N3gQ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58MRfBy2wN
「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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVXyFBP7cy
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc71C79nDOT
「妳……！」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4TiOA1IZV
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbDigZIrI
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1S40pVKon
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoYHkz1wgR
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavRcd6szap
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec4gm9znCr
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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzh8GMc73C
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXO547lbi
「你知道？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjAwFNsTiS
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrbqVhAudp
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATTrocSFtd
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB4Gfg7Ltz
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJqVyuxVVb
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYrgK4PE89
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApVcpS8N8c
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwD5beyoV
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1eLJvqVJ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvGh920UHi
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Amm2lwOKi
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXPPK9xqsk
「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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5NKRxfHx8
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTdL6lSSua
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OZVT8ziii
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPliDEOiHF
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68JQ6cpV3k
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL5MqUjw7o
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uhPFsA3o0
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikD3XSnTAS
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOM8tpGwly
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj9GxsBg9l
「時…時尚？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FZw8PqAL
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVUsFRZB0
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Wi1HdZ7O
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMtqi1IzJF
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb0Kl3e3cv
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQMFIlQyHW
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ADnzaZ71u
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLPV9RzNtz
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGobGQ62s6j
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOU3aOKpg
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzCQxyEDoo
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t9nh6lo0b
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FNmFkqxYi
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kiE58CtiT
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvx4Fd0UKH
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ8kwvQVdn
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcwTRSRpYV
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMNElM3GbF
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MjqfZrePR
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVraS6v6G7
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQgGgggSH
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRQ83Tbi4t
「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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwLrKZyO3
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspxg8yM84
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwjBRv4hR2
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYuuwtPsRG
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZXv4c0pT
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8WmunHcGe
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaZaRLpP3B
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK7qSIZKND
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7THpppe2r
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiWt57pG0
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9B8E38Tt
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF99FqYjB8I
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpeDjMtuMU
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk44sypITb
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83rEdU75jC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAlMOt4gg
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn7DwJhrb0
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPBTv9KzpV
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KJycHD0ZD
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwXjeNcBjg
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7a4mdCaTw
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvTKChkh3T
「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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTsZPa4hun
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVRm4woEL
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOkBX26KNf
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllASun5XZ
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCuce7zrCs
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27g2AvG6qj
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wj6UYaIC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB8X0wiOHB
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5cRdZ9ur
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtAkTSE8ZQ
「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。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNqmfvxOSC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpkgfPi7WY
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouEsHBZNWE
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKJD648Q0L
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF1EJ6HDWG
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDaYoSII0
「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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84hXOu13Mx
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvBqKilyIv
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF5T35boGN
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377pmxdK4d
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0xhQymGx
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q4K9YxmZa
「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──」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZksDn96bR
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1yLfrP2lx
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。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOFS6RoPT
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE0c3LGkQN
「……。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHdq63MDmx
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1QdGApwGF
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOvzNBjSwb
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5RSNkmgTH
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQY8bYYRkB
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa6cSGlqFr
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：836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzHHnhwQri
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhyQOUHtGT
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOyoRGlMPS
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGFbvChpGm
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？」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhsIDdpCWX
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWAx2pjZ98
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc8aMxb74z
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLWEElst9I
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──836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyb8P2qma5
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkarNqBLl5E
「里奧．懷特。」
