2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExT1DxoGK

850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej1aH2lJNL
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSaFhnsi4O
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqunbW9kc5F
「……。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKnohCXNIZ
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjFRYPnUb
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64uvuFjeF1
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV5FZbiYvZ
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQEfFyKTCe
「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……」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkhWMhaXYT
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dO86w8Z6
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTryNLOrH1B
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42h0wXv52w
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l4wJojmab
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRxKVfI83u
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkyGNyzWqn
「你是第一次參加？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXMTffqCJ6
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3DsDOfKum
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXhag9e0Gq
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1JlOjSrgw
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHWkwspd8o
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68YyrjJahc
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPSHBn5xt
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ7XtoxEVc
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPst3DPsUHN
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy1qKKTY03
「今年又為什麼來？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3caXqoo3e
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0dB6AyHT
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDaOYNCTv8
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC7sxlbBkO
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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvxHOC3qM
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNgJcx8ycz
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOkTluuhHY
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycs8onCJzM
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPyiw0pFev
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKvSIsajW4
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZrv3dRIO
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFaKop6xWQ
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyQ96Du53N
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOt11XzaOM
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdWcz73Fb
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe7n9Ml1jH
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC25tQJw2h
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZQQLTx7xa
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1CmlotICh
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEKutMmdvs
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlxPL9AvbA
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIOPXd0lq9
「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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlZE3DUs62
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iOGVoxR3b
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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWyOqDx3Bs
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETJor4Esz
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnl2bkRgh9
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x8bEuWKjt
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQ4Z64fqY
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMHAqnN3aA
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPraaZNbHH
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx8G07vLUi
「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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa2RPmjeco
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BBfBEwPBt
「妳……！」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3EJ5Y0YN
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObP5yCeyQQ
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKgVOP3A3C
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H3IWkkVuu
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgbG0GeuS
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKd88ViOZz
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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8heuN2iSSF
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBcbCyIhjp
「你知道？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBNj6zhZM
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0BGoch2WV
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ouReQdP9
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1jKByzKRw
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6M6up71fp
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EwSb9VL32
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzoP19JZwG
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32lrY9Tfgd
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffxvjsv3d6
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZEGkpKkuM
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyeJzPixbJ
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3a6iz1Ghi
「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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8fowJlott
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXDs14PKtj
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5kcSwcI37
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hkda9E5Rq
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMKp7iJT2Q
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H33ZJCDJ8
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcn7B3lf1w
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wp6ENDJKY
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKhU1UKWA1
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyoSyfbPvT
「時…時尚？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiR5e7tdGc
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXRcPlEzvM
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcHCtHSo2V
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC8KoSX2Bd
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07MvVFjEt9
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPoNbpt9f
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDfLsdMDbb
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pANo0VlfG
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxvyAgqbLf
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaKfn4Gbx
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7txYzshDi
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvowjQ9FL
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqdH2X4kJ
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xYeGn9fsL
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqNQXNLOjd
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTh7LuIJcd
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNn9EEkIwh
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Tlou2rXV
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrejvtA8EY
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoWBTb6Cyi
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbrvaCDo74
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dj46p02Si
「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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TkBhUDrM5
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiMicxdrqN
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnJ1nI0Eo9
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1F03aJayz
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9D64Mmsw5
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUxPXg9HZs
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeeT57dTLb
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQdKlCuhZa
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIIJSRoml
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcEVh10PjH
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjQ5JSfKNg
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxuqkDjMXy
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3zLai0GZf
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9uxDiA3bm
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuIj0iJtq3
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5L2IIrcwN
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuSQenZ4w
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3mRiHrt3g
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlFNJOXOv
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JmCKhOwmD
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcErnrozH5q
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7obIC0h6i
「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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsY1LnO8HI
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvt8myiWyw
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxIVMAkMbL
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aHLamajD
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWfxsQwbuY
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mwuwftB7
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQTSjHxB83
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLdyxMJ03z
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Sy3p2wma
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDMxhVUzn8
「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。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrlx28CKIH
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0FXzrFanb
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4xyLYF5W
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeN01cMGDd
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKfkvzs1Bu
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hcf753RUj
「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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhyTRkWRM
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZtgPPqogP
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O8LVpLXzH
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTNd90EFF2
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VUiSF8I48
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIdP26tXOx
「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──」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyw0BLCNVq
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMsPL1olq
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。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQ5JeB57Q
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLTXzvRkmu
「……。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ULwF4c3h
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02VY6zmWcL
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRNplyddIG
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLNOOahCiV
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGuOoBa7I2
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvekCjhbrT
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：850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8jr9YQOo
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbY3KUsNHm
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjjmgb940o
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNkqHYmgnA
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？」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiJlNbUtkU
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdiAn4iqd
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjlOgPbhVe
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCeTGYecwt
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──850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QWkgplm8
850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NDLIF9lxf
「里奧．懷特。」
