2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wFtK6YiN1
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VINyjjiwu
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iIXpkdHcZ
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTDSvqgXHl
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUll9HRB4h
「……。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jyWmKjeS
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wgb5OXxD
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT94cF4c0S
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiSizbb39v
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FzA6TtuwT
「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……」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C35Cw0Fxr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RMyuk6rD
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BunxeK5jW
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ws5zNwJi1
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb02s5xt33
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ydbZzK6j
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC6sErbiMm
「你是第一次參加？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmK4ELyWH4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6lnnzFoOh
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TLBfvJS3
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGkWRMFIrn
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n0NI1n8HM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB29f3Uprv
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA9aN0wTfc
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B4Zf1vbyw
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zXXyOX1D
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGoBnOe8yM
「今年又為什麼來？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4S0NSEhq
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdP4bp9Aqk
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNAYgM6QDO
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS0isz3bze
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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV1Wrl4svx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9H1hGabHK
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJg6L2nC1K
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN20kUzKo9y
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcHneKs4SF
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDN5UdxqkS
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQSr3gi852
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMUfLNO0Yf
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE9yy7SjxO
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqI0ip4IeF
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZGQJWePSW
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvNp3BjO4H
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUfYFlxE2G
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuNcnjBMFD
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNXHFsN4ml
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWxEZjU7n
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7kDLzY3tV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM5zdb7c1k
「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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pJ2xGhulZ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5GkosUrup
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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiNgSiJplx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CM2eQXO7l
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPeTp7BxtL
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQksN15io
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSccbHV5FX5
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4h91Ma6IU
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfzzBODLuK
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY3JLpSYUN
「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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FJaNu8ET
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnPKvi1gaV
「妳……！」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam33z1rWzx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvmY7LUxA
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbQ5UPLsp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAVGPr9ZxM
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39taqYjkC
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhAaRYYMc
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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSymRzFS4o0
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZPg2xP8df
「你知道？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYvzPyPwYF
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqx3X43kuZ
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEFWJu9pyZ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLHwjoB8n
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRAO90c5zM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx50sT2D2UL
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCSHnc9aU
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kzodmM4qU
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzvcAfLqfH
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXbBBiSZEJ
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk4a18f8mp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X43pIiYog
「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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3obGgeuCzt
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw9dfM79iI
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2IilLNbJj
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW0T3Zgwdw
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKARTbSyfV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLEAgxLNaz
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yu2bVE7Ef
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEROS8zO1l
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxvX8d2YEK
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLjyRBoIRv
「時…時尚？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xGoGkktyu
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZjoZG0lv0
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OoZAUVqAd
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BiGckOTEQ
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC16sAAhGfU
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYQPChp9T
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ9AMBravJ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4dKGAee4F
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42WPpwsUIn
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmgZgfUi3
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppXjVUOxzd
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TE8k1CiTS
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdcRb5T6Qm
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlEGq3jutN
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogoJ7z5Qy
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRoRxBYWQy
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSlnt6684c
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOuguwIwc2
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuf4tFgp9
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjWxm35wYG
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJgquXA5b
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLhvq7g3EF
「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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnScrdqLqUy
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDODAy9Z5G
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XU6ntaIQI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkLgPNtuki
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVBP8yqiVY
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRebpNMfxH
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCbdoj5mM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPbfv9wsHz
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHqNimPOq6
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx7ccRhbzS
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth2YwSS75K
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqBYb9ICA
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhgonWZVX
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyMUBMN0De
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnNpK4Hit
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1wfObSva
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7900vBdQE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwsG8slgTn
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0prBbELU4R
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dbQcPgxBg
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEQ8QMP505
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3a4YiU04
「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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWrjbvfQvp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfuxUTHNhz
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHH0PKp5lA
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoAWELdIQH
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviD1Ogt5LY
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxXg5wEZOd
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBIK7MUjZZ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ADipcImWk
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7LIjvWW4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN5sBB4E3g
「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。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWaSlFOjJ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBiLHmfUcv
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUT0X0gSFg
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy7bfuZf7e
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RFfClI5TJ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw70vWsWhg8
「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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESXvPFv5AE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6VYkzgr3m
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZo1Iasl2M
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW8SUSBMsd
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUR9z4VjwH
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8hdruVJSE
「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──」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHPz035aBA
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTGEz6Lwm
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。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI4DCBAOZ3
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YpH4X9Zvv
「……。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I5RtnFXCh
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlwYZePrPE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyVMeu9wZN
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡValdDPTcMA
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4lYWMCiiA
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiwoWkcEvf
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：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGSqD12ap4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaaIrgS93e
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DvJFXTXxW
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAWzJ0AFZU
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？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9aNYje7n
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC1eQoanb2
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeUuqYyWBN
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ14DgL1APn
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──837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixiVJlre8J
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmUik2e4HJ
「里奧．懷特。」
