這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvKfeMec61
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2rrDXya0y
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYFVFGHhk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFu9yP5TqI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NAnNO8C9H
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArRjVvhADR
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8L7Pm3GQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm5JFB2uoN
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdwC40HhrX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfEh7dB2G
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFCHXPnaL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYEeptkmN
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLrVvCjI7u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwrMXATHGu
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5LZl7Vjap
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6zCWPS9f
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHtfG4bkPp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwUwTmDF8y
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoILTrNZjty
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwIcUSrvx
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx2HYvQ4Oi

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiaWOt7aLZ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvod6bPPiDb
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYD2c4JyAd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghpqW0jJtI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtjLab83ax
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZ6G7WYJk
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwDAeFmUIQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag6I356nMJ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgAvN1HNTQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJspr1sIo
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqzuHNe0fB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpbtApuswZ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPvzxeZfEC
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbt2EF6P2B
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHdPQYimwh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk9hEtWSHe
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDuP4mCYOc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1o96sGJK
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31hJc4EW2d
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziajXwkD33
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAgbcpFQtk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDAAiZmMlA
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTSYvs2aVW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsCzb3BHxt
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybNpWPcXPj
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVelA7mrF79
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTdWUr3yDk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKrX7CUHxz
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiDhN3VlZg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPQkYC0X9
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1zzLjM0yc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2ZKgykVs
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B5dwvKEjn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoDgVrhqLa
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpDIsi0Zve
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDxvI4xMIg
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──426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOS8ZFNYgd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DihmUuaei
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTFoTd962B
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EXremklF7
「唔嗚！」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMyUEj29Dm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6eqiq9cFI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBRa5h2Qc9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3cWcW0OEO
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMt7K1U9w
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ljCGNODy
「依奴！」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNM4hTs9EJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1CMCJGFj
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9yPMlcMv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrulbe05cE
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22mVs5mHGR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvjnKxfSGH
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgmUCee7Hf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQBsRrI5pw
「依奴──」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqloXSnCGR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc0pUSFgIE
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEYUT5HFgE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBclUp99Qby
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEopKfawwI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UI699dE78
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MYl52aKWf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyPle08yIA
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAde4VEQ0u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AhnBUdxmn
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStMxnGLnbk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJy9QnJxfl
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYv4nD6tJe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBXqctTBTY
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyFN2RAyy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRRwtXnNsO
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsB1PM7Oe9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr0kIHhzRs
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdLVTsxfl4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSUMDLNUPb
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kBI6QQHfU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1W8bk49OU
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRHbNLGfbK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6VK7pm4O
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHSL34fx3v
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5jQIeCDi
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQg752rQB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJObLgaPj
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgCxKjhdTA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRerBUaPfU
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgn9aCBKdP
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqOU3w38T
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsgrgMGtiX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcqSZeQ0c6
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30KaZQ5sjI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzjR1KjFEe
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWdRs8CLm7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYxUAU9ks1
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW1vBtpxLS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1gdUdUJu5
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlCPIpF4q
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmEACLp9bp
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRio4bTLyLe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXENjajgAH
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXbgcaFH37
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8bS7yDNCX
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmstt9xuGeL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrDRzVoyIp
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcd3rfuFak
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGIl1o3tNP
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBBWpeflN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgcrUmsSt
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmbkQBJl9o
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTaknGqYt
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LCtLpIX9c
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuh2sjI75v
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3siAqWDL2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xxbOHe3A
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfikZNa9q44
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBsQL7K3JE
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTncJ1R0oY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AbQhQYYQb
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDiZCgTz0H
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7elMy0OKL2
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CcQWc17r
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAJ2oYSPEo
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0431AG6bi
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQDIgEOMeb
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T44lNr7LA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ACE6z7BY3
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqiL04YDOS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2NLqXh2s
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8YZAyIMoZ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQbwphyozS
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLaLp4BUJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDGj0CDZK
「我早就習慣了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aw0K1nPbf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFhPiPI591
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM3t6rojHr
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGTTZ8mwW4
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRkOrHI2F7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf9O4xdJby
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kJ8C19Gpx
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisODd3t1QQ
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyHJKaGTZ3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbAt6OFyui
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8cq8DMezE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ413on0rljD
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGUAmpDB0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9nhSWe8Gj
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbuQPJsgkv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfmuw0XxHY
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FM1EjkQf7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE53aIKoskI
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Gp2ChTbh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53axzPEdYC
「這裡是？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWxvCYiHd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtpHlbRmWd
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4AGbqw6VT
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kb2KyRMa3
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYypT3ObwMr
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwAmeDTDjZ
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UhDZsFmU2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxdTmNgND
依奴指了指身後的醫院：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzFrJmrY0Q
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwkUEDhji
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMyNJMaPjQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTwHfelnkP
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz6Uk92GH9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mMKAMB3pE
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzIcIP4nL0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFgV2fMbqA
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZeRj8MYwS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuhMZb6zMc
「不可以嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKgco3jayX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1xGcknqQ2
「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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy8h6h7kkI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkwDbSMFMx
「把杯蓋給我。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMr3qv9ihO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUujQhXpww
「就讓我握一下吧。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlykOXZfbpG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hjsu5fTJ9
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNm5ytIFrj
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENrbSiVPuu
「依奴。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd0KgF9GxF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qGZ72zsBn
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtbcySiUpO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeGuAx8O2K
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSexWVXnRdV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv2qzom7Ya
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyriTAcac8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2xPwpmmb
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6drZFmwqp5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxkWIXP24Z
「溫度回來了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKwBPhMTPL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdLZE1MMZW
「好了嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzHHmZip9H
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFV8mD2kU
「再稍微這樣一下子。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9LtQYEaWy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHszZmXwAx
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iwl6n3osD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuhZ2bSYWN
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VrsMupCZQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXsJye00D7
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──426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HnXTwI2lw
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhlldbuKlv
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7z6gEURok
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWukn90s7r
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmx59Z2bYA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I6yxmP5AX
「喂。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39FDh9cLsK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF0mrzr7DQ
「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？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2qdKQDXGy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UadFZKy6
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3mpTwDFQN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8SwerB8Ad
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoxtJTtC56

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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lMcQIhQj
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHd05EKfRQ
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3lKT08a5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9QmmSdat
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4MA8Aark
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWprJUfpyq8
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ3hpUHxcr
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrSanFWBhm
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR5EDvCHzK

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLpJDl9Y0g
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo1G0TLkiw
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfyazlT655

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YZACmYmkp
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtzwIGFf73
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5yHaDPsSy
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG7K7QjSbq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYBY1OudpO
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBSQRzfVX2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGr8wlAApi
依奴用平淡的口氣說：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKE7poraT1

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpaWyzMa7m

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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyNBK7JvEE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pBwiww8KN
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr4O5X60mn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzj1Hb5Hy0
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBgU0pFje
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcDAMBucQV
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck1I25mUfX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrLIXEFMKg
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXu9oPk8Ba
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8b2YF4HsT
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0js6Z0e3L
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhBtEmi8rj
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJaN69tSG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfT73twUSI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWNSiVP77
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh1xjr649F
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bsT5dFqa9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqELoxPqiu
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWU75UsNT
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mxjRaaqnA
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」。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKo6oLby8Z
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjvNk3xwm
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1h8VQJ0k

被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpDln40TXc

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ZrstLC7Q
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaevCf0TPC
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNBtVOviCO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJx7do13A8
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf2yQW13j3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6tgcPg6CB
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NaVeLyAvI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKNSBNvGhm
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DZkUoAwHy

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU8nChErda
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rhgfIV7GR
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHU0kfHLVx

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPQveZtd76

「沒錯，」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbF384mv8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1bX5ep1IA
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：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QvX0RiE5E

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh6IvaxQdP
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVqduHIEF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqWzYBOxB9

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF4wjGhE0k
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0nsJEaixT

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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zoF093dF

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY4NZRPc18

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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TKVmGJZHe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZx3Lt3I9h
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KD6s4WeN2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmDUhcelzB
「但是依奴……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNLCoDB2dm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpxog8xl7V
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lbXpzu31B
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpp1wHHrzu
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdLUC1Snl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cKm0zY8V
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8huOpvj9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFtfoa7zQt
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb94Emlgfp7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeGV0bgQIe
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8RIBiuzBJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhq1TL2hRw
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBUKhmf2H
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVT7G7DOFP
世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ezdn80SY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFiXWOEEH5
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4QU4sz2wg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWpbv1tkDI
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsRxpCi823
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWZr2IHmrH
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHnRJUL0E
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDISTpWXcR
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusXw3cwy7E
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLKPhjdjIp
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdss6cFyjQH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqpMrRbgx
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIUpw4dte
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nuOG3Ys4T
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J64ye8x85
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xLLRACRd
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TTnmzvwu
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKjH4HBIVQ
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJdaUPhW99
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ9EphqcRH
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKy8U47ksv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYcgyDjhJZ
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vW36vwFUD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCerCNK0sS
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzjDSCEjwq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoADeKGCft
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Dmbn4atv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN033jZypJI
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFpa3G4n3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs8M8DuMPt
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkdg7FlboE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQd5bNlCfA
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kSQ6xl535
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBd0GTPxI
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUlLyIevvG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7n9nk6oC5
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29yIz28GWN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PlqAzfEnK
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAS3fzmoZY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjsAUVew9K
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqrcUgusno
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OYOe247H9
無數無辜的人死了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqjt2JtJZI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQs3bH8tqB
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIl6yzpphN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXfW5Z14bg
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKhCzLXVJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2xzpl6RUs
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VnGUJOlNb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ1U4GAVgZ
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5hA2qmwnN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSRvLAfYPR
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ivSO9bsW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3AsF7mwh
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz7ndVLptp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0qqcK3LW1
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3iKZaR69u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CwJyoeoVz
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHzV7cwwD0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9TV6xKVQ
「也就是傭兵？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M6Q7PTTRX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIhnAqIGhf
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEPBzuBjSl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVRkEpZwvr
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX2wrJ6r65
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcfb8Zh4DV
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0huFtp1SbF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRYzK6QUM9
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwz4cCXbGZ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rRQ3nifWF
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbd8KVnEEk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPuh5BXH3
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno0KqS2YV2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f93P4gSYB
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Jf0sM7UY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Mywv0zpZ
「為什麼選擇回來呢？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiO93X0nqY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOFLLiTR4
赫恩就像對著空氣探問般，輕盈地訴說：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzk14nYiYE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8j6OUMSRy
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAPXEwTp4e
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgHbnmSMsf
「因為赫恩的緣故。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYREQgDDFW

「旭夜告訴我，如果參與這個任務，就能見到妳。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97bAWY89aF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWdajtlAS0
「依奴以前認識我嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJuGV74mHb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXpE1SaeCJ
「我沒聽過妳的名字，也不曉得妳的長相。但多虧了旭夜，我才知道誰救了自己。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgGHu9U0w9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyKAp6Z0HL
如果沒有黑色聖夜，任何奇蹟都無法發生。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxVVRHiCUf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCRODgNVQB
首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaj12sTuPa
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5tFNmJcNg
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkNRM1JtTq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7BCH499ry
那對無從尋求救贖的我們來說即是福音。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdWhkfpcb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2d6rn40t
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sovwwo9Rs

「我明明什麼都不知道……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMfEYVEufp

「但妳已經做到了，即便如此已經足夠了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P8nt2BjiH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GDDSRwcc
依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMvTeZcTyS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJGhahJhZt
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLizK3Q5jfG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtfz77H6xY
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8wQnJuowO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zVR48rpgA
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nBrKQGSso

「所以，我會保護妳。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIhAqstYdE

「不……不行。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajO8XVOUiY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOxJgMOfgl
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbrIfEsDKh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9laJPXPCB
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovs9RBHFSQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD172x3z8d
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4wIyCnvNf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijhL29Xsj
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaoOQpP5a9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsJdd7GSj8
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？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdjYYH3Las
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhwKII9XPb
那些聲音，那些死亡。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDS3BaQ2PX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE0fR9sBlZ
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflByziqZDF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwAv6Nv6HL
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzJOTEqdL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrR2AJ3xFV
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazq3PbgZF8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYLcahdlZe
「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43s2b3wSIe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ezmyBnyQD
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmrYlPHiQG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1QIXZra65
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzhi2TWWBN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfeej9gtnU
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIs7FOjPoO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNux1UbhT1M
這就是恐懼嗎？426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHCiLLqGbo
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMUxld1ro
「我是不是一直從他人身上剝奪著什麼？就算這樣，你也會待在我身邊嗎？如果我也從依奴身上奪走了什麼，那該怎麼辦？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbvWF0WXo8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxgRwo1CGU
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniTP2PtnxW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCIyOwyCn
「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……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOmL1YrAlU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BHh2w9OCD
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjl8yU4WpV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR6LA1ZVjY
她驚愕地抬起頭。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZF5CjApy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiahmTBjg0
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqx2xJ2F6r
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfkLdFqDhQ
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqAkcE6M9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUDUzTv1mU
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaJHwynWl5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CxSvv62SN
「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？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Di87XreiJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCNa5CPxKW
「可是……」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3cYU3IBqx
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9lPhMrI6
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjIn3R3FYf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyljv95lEX
「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！」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukRdVJO2zm
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0jNLom5Qc
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BdqnlctQM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHtv1PoCq
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHz49IoRf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcV7L8OdXF
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：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxNZFLBDSO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fpkzNhZM
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJq9Z7joqc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NikUWQLrp
「感受到了嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4vFFQCeky
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoW87nFCvD
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXXBmBjGnl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj9wSkdqPm
所以，已經沒有問題了。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsvjaSQ0si
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnALzBXhU96
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS7OgVeL6u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBBXTam8Cj
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcikGvC9Xp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4mfDk1uCt
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOGKvEfZa1
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHBbqeDH5Z
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMLIyzrndM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHngdrsMu96
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjL7N7oqP3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr1dnMxwdf
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzOrzvRgbD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXVizVwL3R
「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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30t1RetwK4

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs1S5NMKvx

——起點於黑色聖夜。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXkYDUxPg

那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZ3wEhZJr
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLHMDTDJDu
在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx5Y8iED6i
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeK8AFRYPN
「嗯，沒錯，戰爭終於開始了。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb7BcUIzWM

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQndj0AWmBi
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4zDZpe0NG
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC53TpnVCZ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSXY800bi
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv3keVPmTV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS1UwiBQHH
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvONFXEnv2n
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQSuUEXGLL
「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。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqJQTNFh23
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpVgXvrFz
「地獄——」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfucsPhj2w
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VYsj2c9O
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2Rb2X9sR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32HVUzhRz
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF37lWqzalJ

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULp94SQ8Yc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvqBYGL1hO
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。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEUqFMeGje
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyus7EENf2P
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5dTdcN2Xk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdZhhoS9C9
「不可以，」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9Z34GcrW

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkgfV987zt
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOnWr9VKPy
那或許是她此生至今，第一句最為堅定的話語。426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdDTLYEmoT
「崩塌還沒有結束，事情還沒有改變，而我也……還沒有獲得自由。」
