這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiNugJaeqp
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXVixJOTl6
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3rLgXCupI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CWEY4fdmC
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOweDAaEjjh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyGer11srE
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1cPhP32r9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLSvVGQbZc
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xuzFZaVED
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ673sQiFs7q
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEmChaVmJf

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA9ArHqmSN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1bMJYvhG
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rgZUE6eEC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04HxULxnWm
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfN3KGJHil
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkObLogHczU
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFcIaTs84f
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQsWZBLDMF
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOY4Pmo5k3

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpIqjTVZA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEK9rOOCMd
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzAy1ZkkCL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZpGRNqkOI
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovYhsdvKD1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Y7Z5uIKO
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTpRfhAVRR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Tod2aOaw
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0dpwiiZw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3MyyNN9Hm
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmhbmYQOUf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfbZ8LCMSK
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgf6ULRARF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUafKQO3Bt
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxBbZdH2b
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkHvSYF0Hj
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs6oE2F8uF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6k8e0yyuy
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ZcoQdfsb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrZCBjGRs
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaIinrKYF2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fv8fQK1BF
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlN7RiURFQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyDMLPqfa0
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BPC8PIEOV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU9dmkTEC9
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn24cfFOidm
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXaGNTYLjV
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPgf97skTh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5zXUqbVk
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3T0RnnUcF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyIT7S5xQp
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5S6e3ARtu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJGmh2ah5P
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQBDGmB10W
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6T9Aw8x0t
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──473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9iwsMJDg5
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AU7agsxBk
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41JfuFyY1l
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9vVlVRnRs
「唔嗚！」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUujzFeUle
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjuMD9Ycr1
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcbC1GY8Q
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQLwkV8Y7
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yxbJFLltO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zpKn7W0dA
「依奴！」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTPPncy9tk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdXKpi061
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE41Ycu47w3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3irkhyMwFN
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ES3SJkKV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrcp9tSabn
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pn4NPaXM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckp59zlieS
「依奴──」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaxWNGKTPc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGgvV21dc1
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi63GWcd86
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwHQeiX2zj
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrLbZne6DO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iKfyi5lu0
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZcAgUCQvS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mXgQZzHVy
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqbh8usHx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ostQBzNa
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dtbTOBdGP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbMdreMAd
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojdueKvip
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVG2Rho0jP
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kDyJamWDa
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSUoNGOWD6
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur8Ka1t2nb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqotgmINKT
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjCHGF0JZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyemXLIe13R
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPRSUDiwE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Ks45YZRC
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK92919qQs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiyBUW5QR3
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFWfgtIlUv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCn9F02ivt
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs9FvxwbgF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58cZ5B36CX
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKL0gJJJD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgR6V6GZDr
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33dFsYqIR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnz3g9coif
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aIC7I8Pr7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lh4pq0Rkx
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhmlboJxbs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QULiNMrTY
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4k7k2ed4B
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxQLnPpCZ8
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ukQSqsQk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx48hFCLiE
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gRR7BRTn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmjF5PH639
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuxuDzghhD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY27ryvKFps
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMbGmkvxT6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93OBciscyP
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBNREwvY27
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQnri6nCtS
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aiWsayN4L
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q6Mp1Thrx
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o7GEM2Ba7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk0NR72t3o
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQgjKdNUT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiRRyeqM1Z
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoXsfLrd0R
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtv98wLSq3
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mk8CStYuu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWmaHisXQ
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs790y0N5H
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oVEDdlFqT
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuFwuCuMO0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxreUEori3Q
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfDDJq3tQI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWKwLcn6NJ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqKrdtU63q
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuEF6Y2j7
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3Fij696z
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfccTqOkrU
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUUStZ3o5
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V7lqfrp3q
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05P0neZVr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtN6HTSkW
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAkAQnh7mP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVQaOuVmo
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKt0WZhp3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUe4BCGCQW
「我早就習慣了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gDtvpA3DJ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABORhBDY38
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqIA7XblbK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit1FapMJg9
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpuFrnzvrO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC938XTyLm
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GW6x8TKsp
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3wTRds4cB
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHHKT5V5Ek
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcmqEw1sc
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NdoMTc19
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsolzOwjgu
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZoWvUugM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mKV1fEBDz
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfx4MqfDrc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlsLItGMiu
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsG9SGYgC7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjOEoFKtL7
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM4XuSqi07
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUQ4UmxgfP
「這裡是？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wj456KSWn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4DOdrCAE8
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88pYdJaGoB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz4NOddvwq
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR5b8gZrDS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvAaHUgIJQ
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguIwFSTxn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmfdMyoNMP
依奴指了指身後的醫院：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KVwYzXzk8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmalDsMBt
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDPPsinJ39
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPnjf84Rf1
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaE3LaudfS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvNrbWsda
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901qjlu4Vk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyq4HmWet5
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S5E7I2NAn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwWwYJcjsq
「不可以嗎？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHZni6PULw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTklGM29WUW
「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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPchlso1c13
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6y8anDr0O
「把杯蓋給我。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpQB4YOkZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhYVy3kpJ5
「就讓我握一下吧。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh3edefaSK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvkm04JJg
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bwndtGoUC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRGyThm9fc
「依奴。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDbuoAr0ov
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzOJvozeuX
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorZNEqBxcb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC6Wf2zVqK
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshSjac3BNM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhisHSV6bg
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nKzFgMsYf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY9p9vtJOC
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr9Xs9uv7c
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dMRVKnyzj
「溫度回來了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PfVLnlr0u
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgftFvSBpvJ
「好了嗎？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHeqiFQQTX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmDnqMzjDc
「再稍微這樣一下子。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWqGqn1CMP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3QW2h73R8
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1QSVcSr8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6CIhznf7R
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqqhMJi3f4
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5Rnh6RtR
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──473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo8v9zauhh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkMyBqs5rg
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mZbBRcKhq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EeETDAlL1
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFqEFCL1jW
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgxiV4aorj
「喂。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jy0OCkaAB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDYbMou9bI
「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？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrljRjiBASY
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt3Jzbhh68
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSKWorVXt1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfM33gf5K4
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOkeS9AZzd

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp564CVmnhV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZSyHcfHRQ
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz1qYeMwfc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICAyBsnRz
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiwwZGknQu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlJNMZE6Dq
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf6HxzjWOr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQo7bYfBz
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoiMCBGk6n

「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YrQyGOKut

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL9UImA7Ra
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwntpmFYBX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd8NWYZYxE
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcvLyM6zU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgviDOy84Aq
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJaRUtxxA8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJel1ztq2jj
依奴用平淡的口氣說：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyKRhKeBzS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcZ5zFqE6B
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMK3eA42Sr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGer1uOFJ0H
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd97dXG8pl
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzU0PlbhGy
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzkOtbNIBr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ60pmAXgV2
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjAjetMPIr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQge7pDSpVf
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7pMLo4KEI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhmxRz50mc
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQpKrQEHF2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1HBMiEIlS
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADbNySpEj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhj2Q8Up3v
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0dmqSvhdV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VD4PXM2ci
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi5HxpwX1k
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaE4IWtFaG
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowRrebU4DO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5vwRfPda
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIvkUMPaC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYqzrntDxl
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」。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEvcNooyQt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZeeEPlSV
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4M1GtxrmT

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdi6sXSouy

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxZb1wNmX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosXY8WTu8E
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ZDqdaQK9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXfK5AAh55
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4hEyyatS6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBTczfxqF6
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKqj693LnO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXxcswUZ3J
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1rAkcZ3d

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNyYFIy6GX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddU9hIUcx7
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQvUNnFUkC

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjfDElOgD5

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOXaLAhJk6
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUOATDQRdF

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhxbD2YTnh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDWqvp7QG9

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hm4VgAoMw
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17HS1aGPGy

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEBtTmf2GC

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGHiGSZJp

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY0vwmuDJw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lw7Ha9Dc
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs7TwRS0us

「但是依奴……」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSaLoboYPQ

「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfFj6N8mX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡednU7toRGz
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysUF4bwQNg
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkD9gJYoDA
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZktOKdqfN

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGWAOj9iIz
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AjMA8jdJG
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthlTBkFoPn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20yBeR5RR8
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT17a2p3fWu

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN06DlFapS
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGn9DkeuzF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGpdjdMtmp
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnRDJPN0C0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvinB68dij
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIvD6bhl3u
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1pJgSCJJM
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQGhRhHLK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaROr0EQYz
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI73SiZOT6v
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gsgN2a9O
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqRDkDHejA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtehNyy0oLe
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5U5c8PsQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF2Zs2GoLS
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQNI6IWSN7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHMzjLnGlV
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOuOVEG9Hg

「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihZt4bT0BL

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabuvZpiWdU

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BcMh8k5Jm
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcbIJ9ru4K
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm7Iq7hztT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPPmbvtxCl
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcAhcunOD

最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJW7Y8SOhe

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxRvAnAov0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa45n4PFYz6
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14KeshU7G9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRoOX8D8EA
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ6d8n6Ohp
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08VhqexKDA
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7AQxvqgro

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ90KyUkrhi

無數無辜的人死了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eCgypCwmh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLzhOllMPT
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToJiW6HGmu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y7avjDVd9
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTN83ySdmi

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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcIlA5T8MO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmThLiZGLf
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nH1LHndg7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUI0jWgAur
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wto6jJ6Qe
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp0hDegehg
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDadZpwH9T

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUXvxKJhE0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XPuFkKbb3
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMs0tlb9Mc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFmzdpU49
「也就是傭兵？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGMSNA5gRC

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvLsD7s365

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICyxlzr4Wg

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYmAXlSJ3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOZYR7vRYu
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpuL4mD8Tv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQVAx7caT
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4MJxerqTr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPc88q8fuu
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvKkg2jBnx

那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5lyVmNKG4

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTLHTwa2fi

自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZI9Uu7ExR

依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1QxDVg6FF

「不……不行。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xzblMjVze
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Ibe4tttR

「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosy6ANz9XW
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqt3wnmtaU

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPj1qqFkYo
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Euy7DVAO9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WcI1E97YG
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？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcAR4t9F20
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDgacD19G9
那些聲音，那些死亡。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwcDTgeVES

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iRJg3tBZm

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9sWrL0h8U

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSPcgZcWCs

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxa6OwYaX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRmfWMYVfP
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dnZ48Sa15
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm0LHCChPv
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtwTIUZFnt

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsutM5txf
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZwYwuUKMp
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHNcMFrW4
「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……」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XnDH6W8j

她驚愕地抬起頭。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZKZiLn5bd
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUluHvygRY
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmDIdpjAG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcT1Inocdt
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUwAGIX5J4
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5LS0amF7
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwiuXvBGC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg6E2Los9M
「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？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbXfZEyzoX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxsHZg7cZA
「可是……」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gXZ6BTPAO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh17O3lEOf9
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih2h452QPS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJJCijUZoW
「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！」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFzlflu4tA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq1OvD5k5B
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LvghMsbdR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70qAZP8lJ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcGdUIMkhP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoFi7sy5j8
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：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E3XPhZLbS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip94DxdOfB
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uiLsTEsV9

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv8Amvf6ZO

所以，已經沒有問題了。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSXUKIURwv
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefAy6n910v
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGZCvYKW2G
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNZLc2QiOT
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVLNDAL94E
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQCcjZ8FY
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwAxs7n6eM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn9hC7zweO
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gH2DiXJAF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P2wF6qyQF
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyAaTziKP4
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2akGHAteW
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUUiSYR0qk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCNU7xqEkF
「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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhRHFrFVmW

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sjqeUv7vy

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpn8hIV7e
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIXX7rGLiW
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplhQvC8v5e
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVyXeYEuOX
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2EXOoCVY8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxPEhos2nW
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyDkivtMZU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi1wQyI9rx
「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。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXwOjYhnAr

「地獄——」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJg4VYPaHe
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv75lNPKUQ
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。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR1R2ffpPy

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXscJm80S

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZnimLA3RI

這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawOiAFiBMm

赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWiEtVC8D

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZysgU28a1i
