這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAusotKk9Or
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3RCZGxzbx
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51mWwpAZ3w
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdmGTQ86ia
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5jIVMQDCt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8MploHyD7
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjDEX4OLjP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWys9uM63EY
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ki5XlNM4
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSLIkJqDph
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOgOA3ZwVA
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH81IS50Os
尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdE11J3vB2
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAP9mlNXwh
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJPmKqu4JM
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZf0nITEJT
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AEdewC8r1
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ5K2ZMwuM
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBxNwA4KTa
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ727s8suKo
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e1t4n9iku

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN5WDPDO5P
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF7sDWjj8k
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EpamQfGa
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHBjLsEXnZ
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpdlXvvA0X
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLdbZmTUXb
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtDFP2Lx2y
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81spmtOWW
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9FbIInNir
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBHvDSwjN2
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb477wAhYsa
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25aZDdjUT5
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURz5HcxjHs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMrvQ0484b
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtASdexoeiO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy3mpLrx9d
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXq3UokrMB
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4IYo8mlx
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQiSSfgbc
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpnTIkM3yX
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOz2diP6VU
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYd808mls
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC1NqSfnpg
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHSGYAbBLG
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZs01hMRY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvticGvlOqp
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSDcMhwWqi
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dneZBnBaH
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNUWBiM1jO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyntIJN6jR
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknB9Dfw4PD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIgI5uMZG
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVzqHGioH
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmqJIpOI5D
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw2Sv3PkxQ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDykjsM8BX
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LDwypglpz
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAssfoKXAH
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ2iQ3XlWY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxQSMSQ6Xk
「唔嗚！」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGhF1DalAa
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWYFg0eQSD
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSbVW0UJCU
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQURDb3mkqR
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNISUlAuS
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMGm5llJc
「依奴！」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIw07kGdxN
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR0pGM0jai
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIlnX569pp
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGJodtCRc2
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VVkx2cnMm
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcyKq8Eca
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ptIFPv7im
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpThzrDC2p
「依奴──」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRvFL4och
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgCXkoLnRn
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HF22jevwR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8izZxHpE0
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVc7HNKCBY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQKXVSZGm4
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ998sDlITkM
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCbE1uVFce
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYgMGmxb2E
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrjQMV01h8
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpVhd08h4
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ALugMZcXY
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVoIbzAIGt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKaU1veVO
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmNl4rMOvA
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9sS11WBX
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCaGDAfEr
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVtX0OAR6R
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ143bmQsxFz
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnMlW6aLBo
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmlGpe7DE
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8LEhGX3FN
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZwRtx19c
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuYGeSSxy
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9g85U4Dgs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGkiDvNqpq
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkrSPawgu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAEyiuYFZ
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJJownV6CF
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOOUTb15qw
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl14n1Sv3AO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUma6EChJak
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8uWlFckr9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1YaybUJ4x
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7v5gUsRNL
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc5m7hEgA7
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKLOIkgzit
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXNV9HCKEK
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeMfzUT6W6
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbISdmivEzL
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyOc9c46MG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIhiJy67Yf
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTKXybXfFi
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4cqCx7xnb
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzYtd0Z3VK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAHSycICZN
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbKYFQijxX
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqKWb089rs
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMp1zpjLlY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8b1SaCPTb
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTx1oAtrmW
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP0LCItHck
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0WimqphNs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QlYYLmri
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzpUTQ4ZBW
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeROiFBX9d0
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RONEJfF0e
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfycMw4wGft
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbDR4jcbLv
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkpMYefTA0
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4SKp1keRZ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwgIEMrZ9
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb5bMebwu5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu0CirYPvc
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3gzQlGEXd
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiAnnSrzWO
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGVzGIgXd
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9NqflyCcf
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gYS1OUIj
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGGv3WG3y
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jdfACdeda
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoKYP9xYTl
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor7Tfd9Kol
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zuqzx2vBm
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfzhkC55Gk
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbP95P4mq
「我早就習慣了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmrpYq0Dzr
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVOjlvB4Kw
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTnC7EIqG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbLm85bq2w
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7aLGHJMXQ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gDJxBwPJJ
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJQfNrD13u
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR6yQAaAym
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyCnCqm6qh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSOOrc1tPZ
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC1HKxOOmO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDo5DiRF9a
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL2e7Al5Ti
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHFAWiNvC
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSROJzp5JGj
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRhzxLY0Hf
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFtBX6wKbV
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhdZhjMsgC
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvM1N6DdTG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckP8vPzlCB
「這裡是？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cdjDIW6kz
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1nrYe8xOh
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgvmfmQcV
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQRTJD5pJ
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbrG0SqPqq
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfxyzQZFEo
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHZhQYbhUw
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJVFBJbdZh
依奴指了指身後的醫院：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcEXR9qwlH
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUcLpIN3C
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1HPMxjgX
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WWkWkZlY
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNO8bCQnl8
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORkOSdOjMV
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMu6Od54DY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbquYCs8tT
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQZ9KW2AG7
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JRCxvgmAm
「不可以嗎？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNPUSiM4cH
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJOYtMJcYZ
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmgO5FyLLE
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSSii4Ky5a
「把杯蓋給我。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXO5yVGjq3
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2eYLlHuNk
「就讓我握一下吧。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9X8J11tD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW28ctrYE3
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm45K5uc8SS
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVm9NQU9Eo
「依奴。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aPgvk3X5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlgvrjuP7w
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMWBZGsOBt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLiir623a
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD367JSsuL
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa8k6yaWk8
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8As2SbJe31
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9k106WV4
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn2gP8sbUF
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDLzYHpbtU
「溫度回來了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PphblEhX0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxrYQKiJmj
「好了嗎？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVpCZSyF3j
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB6FKRWfQB
「再稍微這樣一下子。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPMLT1NO1
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxs0feTxlf
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzjpsi9Lcr
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2x2aGvAgS
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRolfFSLk8Z
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dY8mkAjNJ
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzQ8wERtM4
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hqje7b3gE
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwfGdYXH9Z
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwf0yiNm8m
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhcCOPBcwz
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sDdvPATXG
「喂。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fuMCcqij
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hdzvmL7U
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZKXqb68xr
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ3TI8fyuK
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHfz6MjZ5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOxVJ1AxeC
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31pQhwPyCz

依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAXe8tkW7

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYFX9FYbnz
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTb5W5UYpt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFopzBx0io

「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTQf9L9YXy

依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXNT57OMGu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdcew6EU0
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJTajkS8bE

「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwBo4ARAUZ

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmXE7hGe2H

赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAX6Mxoc4k
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6yzrzyNzH
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU9hL1J13M
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXO7uDdRvI
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcYDHfPtET
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1HorW6vmt
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi7PFpWtR3
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWj2kB5d6
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoENrNllq5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc72Nu2n6T
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBs8RegZ6I

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjxTlg452
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v8Zf2AxXG
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmpNnCQ3WC
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxks4LZ3sQw
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwkDLxqxR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLjVynF5P2
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OI0KeLUYS
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08p2MTMdGB
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHT05j8X2f

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFlWTi2a6R

一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUpBUGYkQG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FIslMng77
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sVYQu4TZ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY98oL3qQX
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHA8Cj38Hu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKWwv5Ibq
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNAfGEaI2C

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYiZsz8qD
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7zxFeVNo

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGm1DjZr3G
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYGjC0zbA

外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgfFMCQPrx

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dsj1L8qxb

能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVldV0EWcHn
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EjKr7GBiI
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGo6GqPkX
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWObIBg9Tf
「但是依奴……」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY4nzaKI3m
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqE5Argo5x
「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKzwgFkzmh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqlpzhJu7w
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHYOBmII9r
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlye6YvQ8e
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9jXaLmd5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsRj7wRZb9
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBnXEsvIfW
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4aRvXFFYa
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRanFn2kkjD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Y4GuiPvC
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uTjhh7z9

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ErvGpYzbB
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO8L5IzNtB
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmhWC8T0ue
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTKD1wT7c5
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYwhyoxbu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB4NbSmXe3
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjK84F2oMR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNufVljC5Nk
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHCt6TSck9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt451w5Tpp
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nRWvkZ9Vm
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTBcTVlT41
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl95lzwyy0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Fhnwjvrz
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12LxzDtS2L
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOawMb5xv0M
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8kfq6YyIW
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFKL2XGPHR
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjGpfAwGKp
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWwPY73R0V
「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovuMZtJKfJ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKtNysjfpB
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1K0m5fQ0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkuItxCFD4
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJrhtviZIq
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16JgDiWhI
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHpq2plwaD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQxonnO60
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRan6uKenY5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbrSvld5er
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9x8IwRMNQ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyyHlUqFgW
我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07Rxe6L3e
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWkYOCL8I8
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG0wRPEgAt
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFlDJZKvsq
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtLz5f5TYW
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpSkdi5eWh
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnSLu7UzB
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uCRsI58aN
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71FxliuJug
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ArkEc09hZ
無數無辜的人死了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBR0ebqYHl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkngHuvHbi
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqNVzEMKEb
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSYYtVyv0
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1X5UCRh6u
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T7ZfISuor
過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtbqqUSIgC
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh851wdPsx
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4GnA7lKKQ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNunuePTLxI
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBbnD4Mr5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgDkQTyOpE
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502RucLPyY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3BWFByoqF
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHR5kwuyLi
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAfEW2Qn4V
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ435OPeNTjm
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeQs9lZtcA
「也就是傭兵？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhlyaMYHXu

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROiiMzm2x4
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3We22mJB
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDgY59mkpw
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvBpeSYHKA
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii1JJefIoh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZWWwhdGj
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVkNZpahx
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgic2sp2QU
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo3nx35QT5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqp9wkFxWb
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCKhDazTAl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMRhyLb2WL
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Rc8HVuM3

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47e0JgYNDj

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1nZjaQr9
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mH3hE8WnG

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ048pi82ELY
由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMGKnGtASq

「這一次就由我來解開妳的枷鎖吧。我抱著這樣的心態參與了這次行動。妳贈與我八年以來的自由，現在必須由我親手還給妳。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT10CbbN4rS

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK1F0DZLuD
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNws1Mupf1W
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4Yr5IrKw
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjtGsqztc
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrgCtGfK5
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bqKjAkOK3

「不……不行。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VACQLVxYV
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhQC2IwNSA
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJkrMUqgHE
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9n3JiApG
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpUZ9UCciv
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Wiwfk7Jb
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloG8a8GwVy
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdd1zzWBvl
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50WQABRkG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ879wyxEhVJ
如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLZB0Cm3Lu
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyf9E8YrXC
那些聲音，那些死亡。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5unEifQv

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig6WF4x9nU

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBUETT69i

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9fyliUnQg
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3W2F8WXrp
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj2niWsr1m
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonimCGfc2c
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKRATQH48o
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67cZWE1qkM
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC9mFqcnVu

454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmn6W4UrVA
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpXKiaDToL
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwW1CpzS0n
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jzHml58FK

「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RkifMi6jQ

她驚愕地抬起頭。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5BjV6Nuy8
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpY5RuOm4C
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWr4FX0uCx
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rlmntc68
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HXjFI2e2L
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Ha4I9LiX
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIjHNmFTS
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tyqPOtsDP
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW48ebXtVP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrG1MbC2fK
「可是……」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO5928XR4Z

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCdJjYHSq6
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFtFMMvhnu
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbT0Bke41l
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AYT2L9Ixr
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLZihYyLg
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn5nvZCUeU
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSFj40FxP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyW3qaK0Sy
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwmgyT0NLI
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubqT11SYBF
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZa0WXEGBt

「感受到了嗎？」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrlmQ65XCM

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Sl1kJ3KD

所以，已經沒有問題了。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9YFDc37G0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcycvcigUol
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqLug0xOMn
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOM3ANQHx
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF85quY1aU
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFejWNuXWn
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Q6GZRyWd
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlwLbHw3yR
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf4KrTM6Rs
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjYgR9Fm4b
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9ne4mxBF
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsSx36cr4P
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK3XY2G9Cm
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rMM1XPLN3
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOottwtM9Kf

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7eTzH9YzF
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbVOze1x4S
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVq7ijEONp
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1vv1KILen
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDxcApbvcJ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKtBmMUul
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl90i6MSr2

「地獄——」454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYxyecMIT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6p2rlGOh
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jg5daeDif
