「你是……」新河混濁的雙眼微微睜大。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVu3lNagXe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzEzBkDOe1
「您好，我是萬事屋的玄鶚。」玄鶚看似輕鬆的微笑，實際上嘴角正在抽搐。「……在詳細談話之前，得請你先恢復生前的樣子……喔，不不，是先收斂一下現在四射的思念與焦躁。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiV6QrfSMS
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvgDBYLagM
「咦……？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGtFLL3Tp9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3vQCW50ru
「嗯啊，看來你完全沒有察覺啊？這傢伙因為你散發的戾氣快要撐不住了呀，請深呼吸一下，讓腦袋暫時放空吧！」玄鶚指指身邊因感到痛苦而揪緊衣襟的少女幽靈。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnflXw5M0w
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ONsW7h7w
新河呆呆順著玄鶚的手指看去。雖然不明所以，還是嘗試照做了。深呼吸幾次後，少年幽靈身上的血跡漸漸變淡，而後消失。只剩下尖刀還握在手中。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl2hopQUTv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxfWrVrgd
「……只要這樣就可以了嗎？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhLuNu1jU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQuVYkBma
四周的氛圍變得緩和，針扎的觸感也趨緩不少。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5opGjYA1J
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet1diRx3Si
「嗯嗯！可以可以！」玄鶚點點頭。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1J1G78pNa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCULgbyaKy7
萌理佳鬆了口氣，卻還是待在玄鶚身側，修補搖搖欲墜的靈體。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Ck7J2Ddd
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknCDmbZU23
「我們撿到了這些紙飛機，因上面的求救訊息而來。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhi19kQu4j
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjalNYnU0V
新河望著紙張上的文字，陷入沉默。他不記得自己有寫下這些，也沒有摺紙……依照現狀，他連紙都無法取得。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizAIwHkeJB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ86WrwsCl
然而，紙張上的血跡與襯衫上的一樣令人不忍卒睹。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XjemuLN5S
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2PNJfRf0v
「我不知道……我什麼都不記得了。我沒有做出紙飛機，也沒有筆可以書寫，就像你看到的，我無法放下握在手中的這把刀。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmqBEfnRrR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGnrfHMcnw
這樣的話，紙飛機本身只是新河意念的具象化。無論往建築外投出多久、多少個紙飛機，眼前的少年都沒有察覺到這件事。他不知道自己變成了活人畏懼的幽靈。帶著尖銳而寒冷的氣息存在於此，自己卻毫無意識。全都是一片空白。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue5QjCWRRP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCfvaIYlef
所以說，眼前的少年究竟是哪一方呢？依照傳說，有三個外校男生被指使到這個學校來，是殺害了女學生？還是刺殺了同夥呢？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UMyx8Uhzm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NI8tzA5v
有其他可能性嗎？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO0q8qgaYt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbpNs1UHyR
依照玄鶚與萌理佳所見，少年幽靈握著生前用以殘殺或是守護的凶器，全身染血，走不出這層樓，一直在這裡徘徊。但本人卻什麼都不記得，目前唯一的線索就是白兔。這根本就是所謂的「案情陷入膠著」。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBowS8gdSy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGk4YKCg68
「走不出去……」玄鶚往女兒牆外探頭，「沒有跳出去試看看嗎？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeei91j0Rlj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1pdU3ESpl
萌理佳和少年一起露出驚愕的表情。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFX4UJ85e
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBJf0V436Q
「玄鶚，你在說啥！怎麼可能……這是四樓耶！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGPnqMHyw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ0ghEb8mR
「之前是有想要跳……」新河蠕動嘴唇說出驚人之語。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuatBrAUDCi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niHMt3E6W
什麼！萌理佳不可置信地望向少年緩緩垂下的頭顱。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZswRyAnt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomjf11HSbh
「但因為太高了，很可怕，所以……」不敢跳。新河頓時羞紅了臉，變得像哪家的小家碧玉。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBcHo6ykP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwogeMWenh
啊……玄鶚了然於心。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcp3pnZ1vP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0yb4fkrGg
「我是開玩笑的咩。其實就算跳了也會回到原處啦！就算不會再死一次，也請別做傻事。」他揮揮手。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehQdTTl1m4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnsnRQnYZS
那麼…… 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNL10srv01
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVwQVVLepd
「現在怎麼辦？」萌理佳眉頭微蹙，望著態度一派輕鬆的黑色少年。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwDjbgjdLz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrB2NFtcV
「嘛嘛，不必擔心啦！」玄鶚甚至打了個呵欠，「既然萬事屋來了，就沒什麼好擔心了。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQVnVIMuY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXybM0655kg
他一掌拍上灑落新河肩上的夕陽。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipo0YFzARR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnvthvjs22
「一切就交給我們吧！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyhJNbNJie
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8h8Vp1Jv8
＊354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zPIR2kwP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmRfSgWZJo
代表萬事屋出差的兩人就這樣踩著溫暖厚重的夕陽步上回程。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMdKwuzveE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZqwbX9n4V
「玄鶚！玄鶚！」由於腿的長度不同，萌理佳得用小跑步才能跟上黑色少年的腳步。「等一下！玄鶚！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIxd7qWwq5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkBCVgtdp2
「唉……幹什麼啦？」玄鶚只往後方稍微轉過臉來，語氣稀鬆平常。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57tBsqRJU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9hCnbD705
「我們……就……就這樣丟下他嗎？」兔耳充滿彈性的上下跳動。萌理佳喘著氣，剛剛受到的損傷還沒完全復原。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdU4iQPNoW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl3ISGSY9d
「嗯。」玄鶚只丟出一個單音，繼續往圍牆邊的人行道跨步。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2V7vegEk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZllQ2T6fQ0
這個人……怎麼講的那麼輕描淡寫啊？萌理佳又追了上去。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXp2EJfwLX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0JQIjRkdE
「沒……沒關係嗎？讓他一個人在那裡……哎呀，你等一下啦！」她一把拉住少年的深色夾克。玄鶚總算停下腳步。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gDoA43uR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrf8ymdVht
「妳幹嘛那麼緊張啊？喔……喂喂，妳還好吧？」他一轉過身，才發現萌理佳已經握著膝蓋喘著粗氣。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKuzbx6i2V
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0OBNefHCV
「當然緊張啊！我……呼呼！咳咳……你……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdOaR8GmRY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wox9mapM5
玄鶚腦中的天線忽然接通了。喔，對喔。她剛剛受到那少年的影響……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XaNh6mVOM
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxSAfcdLki
「唉……知道啦、知道啦！妳先休息一下。」他說，伸手拍拍她的背給她順氣。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbLhdTh1Fr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwegO066SrL
過了一陣，萌理佳的呼吸總算平穩許多。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwBxRY2pdE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZYfvCZioA
「那個啊，不需要緊張咩！因為萬事屋來了呀。」玄鶚說。話語裡並不包含自負，單純只是闡述事實。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNEpRTChrf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn52JIF0lqx
「這是……什麼意思啊？」萌理佳的神情像是困窘，也像感到辛苦。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gMyMvgfcG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR8pqiYpg7
「哪，這世上事出必有因。新河會變成地縛靈也一定是有理由的吶。他會獨自待在那個校舍，或許是有什麼東西遺失在那裡。失去的記憶一定包含在內，然而，應該還有其他的因素造成他被綁縛在當初死亡的地方。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3uMx2ek9M
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKx5P7eRU6
好艱深……萌理佳聽不太懂，但還是努力動腦跟上玄鶚說的話。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yAlaLYZgB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuOLfJsw1u
「也就是說……只要找到他死亡時的記憶，或許就能找出變成地縛靈的原因，也就能幫他離開榕樓了嗎？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNYqPzXrbJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTfId38h5X
「正是。」玄鶚露出幼稚園老師欣慰的微笑。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKBoBn6PVG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OTuG8F3pt
但是，也可能會是另一種局面。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0zLA9UvU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuDZmPhzbE
那種猜測比任何發展都更加殘酷，也不會是和平收場。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQCJPiNmJ2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNOExcfqD5
只會是悲劇。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJMf1Uxow0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhILiUEAp7
「那，我們現在要怎麼做？」什麼都不知道的萌理佳眨著天真無邪的雙眼。沒發現兔子頭套因為剛才的狼狽而歪斜。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTTJwOdCf6
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3Ka7wLba
玄鶚伸出纖細卻有力的手掌，拍上毛絨絨的雪白，將頭套挪正。自行道樹間篩落的夕陽打上少年透出群青色的髮梢，靛藍的瞳仁中，萌理佳的眼睛瞪得更大了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9TeuUdIdk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMelrZeoRS
「等待就行。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7440vmZjp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKDgMwsQ9q
直到萌理佳回到萬事屋，感覺還是飄飄然的。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcpd41OOu0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkKkXu98i
夜晚很快就來臨了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmrdP4pHXx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4thwhdv3P
連同絳雉，三人圍在萬事屋內側，巨大畫作前方的辦公桌附近，整理今日得到的線索。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUrtJtBFpy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL3uQORuTS
「原來如此。」絳雉輕撫線條柔美的下顎，心裡似乎已經有了底。「確實只需要等待時機成熟。這次的委託算是輕鬆。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21mLnMDVK5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tEWAzU0ou
但萌理佳可不覺得輕鬆。要知道她可是一度以為自己要被對方的氣息刺穿了，簡直是九死一生。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofrspoal1n
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3FsMZR9A
「那個，可以用我聽得懂的話說嗎？」萌理佳不滿的鼓起雙頰。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgebLBtbgJi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6niE6u8EBL
絳雉與玄鶚交換了一個眼神。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdPfBkHY4f
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIobPrJgnk
「自古至今，活人要是非自然或是意外死亡，便會出現喪失記憶的情況。並非全部都是，但也不在少數。若是死亡當時的情況混亂，這種情形便相對常見。人死後變成靈，能夠思考與記憶的大腦死去，變得只剩下人性最根本的情感。靈魂即以此為依據來行動，即便沒有記憶還是下意識地產生執著，成為意識被束縛在身體，或者意義重大的事物或地點的靈。」絳雉以平穩清澈的語調說明。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsilFdV44m
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuf5x4G9tU
新河是歸類於將意識束縛於死亡地點的「地縛靈」。而束縛，即為執著，新河很可能對那條長廊、那座女廁懷有執念。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CtxpqmRMi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDf4gE14ub
「萬事屋的職責在於協助靈魂回歸輪迴。我們四處游移，哪裡有需要幫助的靈就往哪裡去。而地縛靈雖然是擁有執念而留於原地，彌留人間，但總有例外的時候。那個幽靈既然已經徘徊榕樓許久才遇見萬事屋，就代表生前做錯了事，作為懲罰而暫時讓祂待在原處。目的是懲處，也是為了讓靈魂為自己的作為反省。也就是說，失去記憶的新河，可能是因潛意識的執念，也可能是因『規則』上的贖罪而困在當初死亡之地。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmddfd73auX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIaXMqKNNg
「可是……他不是已經不記得了嗎？這樣懲罰又有什麼意義？」萌理佳搔搔臉頰，提出合理的質疑。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOu9YKSnKl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCbOPBYxJC
「本人即使不記得，上面還是會這樣做啦。祂一定是對誰有所虧欠，才會被扣留，也是因為有所執著，才會緊緊握著手中的刀。」玄鶚說道，「萬事屋只會尋找需要幫助的靈魂。我們如今來到祂面前，表示事情即將有所轉機。因此只需要等待。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFZYe3ejDZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9hzIZG9Wx
等待……等待什麼呢？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXcllTK5I
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNA0uCMpaN
「等待祂的記憶咩。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1hDU6ATsO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ3wuus5fA
萌理佳似懂非懂。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta5rmrGTTf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5wuo9H3b8
只有新河一個人的話，根本尋不回自己的記憶。但萬事屋又說只需要等著，而不是協助尋回……這究竟是怎麼回事？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DLwUoFUW4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLMkDDalsv
要是長年來都想不起來，已經深埋靈魂深處的回憶會忽然從天上掉下來的話，那新河也不會徬徨那麼久了吧……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lDMLCUOP2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSijTZb0Mg
絳雉看穿萌理佳的思維，但沉默著垂下眼瞼。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgilsuPQs5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCq6Euo40w
玄鶚伸長手臂，打了個大呵欠。「無論是什麼樣的轉機，我們都無權過問。只能說凡間俗世，上天都會有所安排吶。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyjstjKwIU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LSyYM9Y9
