這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWcW1TbK4
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYdUemwJS
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDsopDAcPX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRC5Xa7OUy
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2OjU1OUDu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0nzXSs6RP
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fxh9yp4pI
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkzgPgv2MA
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgryputzO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BoMfOcvNB
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4cRf2HMK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88mOad99EG
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzKqABvux
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ORhAn9rs
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mkVMaUe0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96sSe2auQ
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG9uCttUFn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXbwdQLx2k
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89OifoR3wy
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4MI6Pegtf
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnlIb7pxQc

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYIcoD3b8
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ99Zli0hh
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxJghDMSO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUjL8aSoKj
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvoIgbXeBO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsP1ZYsqqD
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTCdzFjs3J
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi5O6UW6aS
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuuMjBFTV5
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRoDPVgS0R
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a2PpgO9zz
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQ3W24FBC
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhtFNgOz1z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLk9YDssJf
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fNTEIAU0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBc3g2hQdQ
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ET50SNLeQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT02acMSpX
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66nD8Es9Zb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSk4mCRbOy
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsX94rndzo
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9uCLJm0bu
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm49qfvXxgT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIDKK6pby
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI1zJJdnUt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYQiRaLjy6
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyAFoPLUd5
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMg8BlgS1
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRztGCrsvX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6xOeCdD73
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYBYQFNbL3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd2QEnY14j
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHcQn57c7h
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pPY3O3EUe
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4UEW9F1qE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OSnWld9zG
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──450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6PiYBRAeQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lSbAQwqy
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFx21DN1a
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Q8F4gLcV
「唔嗚！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiKc6Pa39z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqOYbGDrYL
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdXNKJ7lPv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8DNsDkxMW
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA5FO8Xkep
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnf909quaG
「依奴！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQZSqIkmeK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBwKped8n8
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQbh0B3tnF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy28W1XZdwS
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfpxTuGPmb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeDDhK3Y4h
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPUK6rGfA
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqtiGTGKLZ
「依奴──」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRYy159VZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf225fV4ja
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6uib8Dby
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZn0lcGfEi
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ijIzo9ThX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSUkaXEFG4
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsK1AF5a1I
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKzwNHoyU
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pXzgvfdzF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Rg3HOMCI
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlMiY5AGb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOcdSjfgUl
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTPua64a5G
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgdaaTscg0
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTBEiFQWf9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ47VJJosT
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh6CU70glG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YR1y9qG4m
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZGfE2J3U
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr7Lk0p6lc
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkNF87OLCV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtJtgc4a2
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLxg5zgxoQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKtnkz1ll
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazoPAiZAea
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4gUQCqht
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW4g7ZZqpO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfrvCgwI0
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUEnwCKaHn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDOTfSj6eF
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcPG4LwgYR
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg5zpSwoDp
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MXoCFvLBq
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbPLS1G1oD
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTRBPWvKnv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasC5R2qyya
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07TayFI13Z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOThKoEIZe
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSebYPvzwuo
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRKdpKrutt
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW664i2lbl0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBlNASecpw
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPooL1JpN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6llDMbYN5
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHCdN7T8bf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzHCxy1jYJ
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb8RaRrrvd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8aORn1dY
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKsIRnqKRa
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixlqjKBCew
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHiJ9VsPx7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0FZcQuBbH
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z8u7MRGQF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6MoIVkGiV
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzTE8SBbFg
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfx0UFNadB
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LXW2tIulv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLyPpd1xm
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Co8RR907w
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbTVfUD3cz
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfUmYit4uO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnwg0aBezx
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6cIa5l68I
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CpMYNljeT
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd4sLPIFUo
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSV5iJHWsP
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA0qOHuj9z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAvlDsPsro
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOyroR5Pkn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWLe1ERBi
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvpP1W9PTs
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnPszxJ1I
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iIKQw2181
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtnSO2Zy5C
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHbj8LpMt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSVIEUZDDU
「我早就習慣了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgSUahCIHr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXDLIWEmIF
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q2vrTdj3J
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIkV4cKkwP
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtyv0ghkKi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFv9iThgD
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOKmY8ete
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9puq9yf5S
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz56ILeXib
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWir86QH1EW
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVsu0lWFGt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JJQWg8Qnh
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CElu1JJXD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrmEwzF3qn
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8naVpyi17
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGAa6Gh7W4
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSPIkgvcAY
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbvvOh3LA
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdtNTcB6qD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUtXzVXL1N
「這裡是？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGW6zGudZS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqqvJJcEmT
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmriDGQ2vh1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKzN6UXYzu
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVysx46ZDFM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMOr54ObrT
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3jEX108zB
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghIuRdyGOe
依奴指了指身後的醫院：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVShZqRyNW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2rT3fqsit
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rQlcdiEp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DJOiUvSaQ
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeHepRush6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplFcd4CedN
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfzyjMPYL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVWEXjjhOl
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrZHSrfkZB
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNYDb6hfp2
「不可以嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RafHQyffH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0xC7LpVPZ
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SvahdSUh
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHFr1IopyS
「把杯蓋給我。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuiFTTIuKR
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQECO8tAeI
「就讓我握一下吧。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lJydpT52
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXXtU7NhAb
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvvw8po5os
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZllcbfpS
「依奴。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMOxP8QK6w
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJAHuZtMHm
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiUu9xbU70
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNrnzAumbR
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjKjWSdLKE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZWdWQsOR6
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfpb7hmM6G
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJjCWHJTKE
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO425ZfD5KG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe86eaGEn5
「溫度回來了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdACe80QxH1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEteN3bei
「好了嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxAa5pNvf9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuEQ2OBzRJ
「再稍微這樣一下子。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTM6YAWKC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58SAt5k9eX
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO1aJPk4Bs
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDFYJgnwqJ
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgTirkBdyX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPVx0tk5qt
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──450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe00jbVAxm
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavbIaMK8Gf
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVm1Bl3eC2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTcNOdBnHA
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMyCfBIrdx
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdQNZj0Sd
「喂。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEHZNnaB9p
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21Zl6asbZ
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYtodiTtQe
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgC4X6BTzS
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoFk9AzCdi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNLXX105s
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLyOKpUyfq

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtZEYSek0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSN6FiS8Id
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf8vCsN2vu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPp2hNfXP
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXZyy5CtgW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREPHmHEhnj
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyj2MH3FMT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oM8Orjk1t
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YM0F2eLwV

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8d9JvoPuC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UOVlsq22l
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFw2poQ8T6

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5odnSgQ3e
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQegRCpynY
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3l7ZgfX8G
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPI1inRo9I
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1TPHCaFTf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXroDdAL5
依奴用平淡的口氣說：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlUeIh74k

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK5wpILNJx

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp7RBr4A6U
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4KaLF6HXT
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrknzCEriV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hIcEgw3Jf
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljuHO2geyu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa91K54HAEo
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSzv0Mn1wT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOn8s2idjj
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOurSKkLt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zi9NIyjvT
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhjfAP3eO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXadeGlrw
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbBkoeYsPM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISr0pcUPo9
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJskMrMiHK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVqfgYz6z3
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98VSusTAh
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy48erdpKa8
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuMQCd6G0y
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ql78bTPbh
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」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJQsB8iwMT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGFWJqYmyx
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYsPmV1OEo

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZYBo51UWY

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgeWj8c4D
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhCkWdtCm
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGkzCDStW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdET3Q4pSc
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXgwrfuMnv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g9dfkcmIn
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbaXQ37sqi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51TersOtmA
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUfResAIge

450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnI8tiew9y
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZQGn7wtM

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnEevPfU8Z

450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1mnezW9t0
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：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzArw9gpeM

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wZcJ09uzN

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYUgOmL7NS

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnLZwZvAVp

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzpuBbA2pa
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc4w44HE2r

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAcn9Lg9w1

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtboZorsAr

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NBTGCDVKR
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE2nDG0fhd
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl66vq1l4x8

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEFHzkbtVj
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTUuMRxvz9
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqk3UfRKuG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKkFPms7Z
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Y2ygGEsJ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5CFXnC7g
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Mnvk0dYI
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilv1KMKCNx
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX2WlGdbBM

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vb5yePsk

「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbmTW7fBk

依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3sR4Yox98

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwOvSrtHhf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprZUPRLBfM
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDD3vnWywD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274YnhBnP6
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBHn60gSDa

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQhKXRJGhS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLTB6kTeXC
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcBqrzqXXZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtey51FzQZb
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gp2t9Go8

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPJRzYjKZA

無數無辜的人死了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OoBP9MFVY
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGuspNKYtU
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP20WL2gbfI

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7VN3OPOcH

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfhbtK1YK3

450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhvX1FNtto
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtiJ8xCFBC

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？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG5AmbryfK

那些聲音，那些死亡。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwZAWBNpYF

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNbbSy5wPH

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrPWPB1rh8
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRyWUyF7Zs
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKQmMouER
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWOa5tenwg
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P8oZpqHvt

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDBPIAETde
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12M0UrVFVY
「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……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6G33LGAFA

她驚愕地抬起頭。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8D7ZnmF4v
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcULytBoEO
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo9bsPP9Xu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JMkMK57Ya
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVLp1ooJ4o
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0vydHdGau
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0JhDPqj2Z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnTUojnyPC
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxAZBdu3FP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOenxF5mh2
「可是……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTMA2gTx4E
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7un95mJsJy
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8WDX39FYV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMj3NoOx0
「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！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpA31z4w1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHiVK3b69
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOWuJLcBG1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMzvdZJr8c
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3R3YnaxXe
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKHjmDLLc5
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：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w91HbFp6b
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKkJQzgB5n
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonPjlmaYJf

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCM3fuvxmC

所以，已經沒有問題了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAhMugm0Di
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXK5MMWu9
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jiu44yZu9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAtJ2nwcK
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ywGjeNoO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYyzYiLASH
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fWne9FJJg
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVED6QslrGM
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqDeEJfXLR
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o5qc9cfNl
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0MQ9M8hOC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHBnnimEi2
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcZzQQ1a7m

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbiSxURNqJ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuC6zgTToX
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGz4s8aVEp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6xUeDeYs
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklO7I76cx1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCtlvptKyC
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJMD7B2K9U

「地獄——」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Eqorm8Lw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQssekcx0Q
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5IXbwGAXB

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSff0aGWOG
