這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EVxDBfHr
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSOo7bj8f6
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgnBkhEjDY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qLzY7TsOh
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmvWqW6NtI
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYtGzqsd8
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD88kTl6Ii
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFFaDJHCt3
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7rycD9iuP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma4jKKKELd
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMlKUbp33E
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo6no2iSOD
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FwbOetgxK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo5XTglGKT
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g6KKMdHxx
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy1UM68fUe
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4GoEvWNQR
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7VMvPleR
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXHOsKIcl8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJuI3JXlUK
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0JIL8T1qB

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg70SC15bt
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHnuLoqu8q
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor4Ag8GGCE
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMkllPhYfU
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBc0QpNE22
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIBDZ1OpcB
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5hKLQ2cCv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZKQLSkqZg
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1LPq6kK1K
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj97zPutgc
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5c11BQNRz
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudY233HEzi
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJfe2lvjdi
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMBjoefrqY
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQokWFJCX38
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9hZENT8S
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiMQ7N7c8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8TB1uAjcr
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzLk80xWg4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DnoS1nTsr
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYemR1tAP8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0lvnhqlL8
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42LGfcedng
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS85TQgt5Q5
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXl5nlCcG
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDrjhlazmh
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDnuK3PH5W
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1ynA0CHB
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvA4rHwgy1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA9yzDVzFP
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRORBGBwTzc
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEIw7MGJ2N
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUML7muF2I
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHENwJqaYXY
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQe6ccBCtK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzJxBntRr
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──472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2uNEYP3r
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPCxwuOie
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGjDfidbjf
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM9jGF9eNl
「唔嗚！」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Gwimaiun
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNlPQgvFIf
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFuZbqotaO
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9yq5GcJRN
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSAwpqvufR
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiteOnGIUK
「依奴！」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhdUsk5JNY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdzsFkJp3
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJzrz5jFA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGG4FExGlw
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXcQho1wkW
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDb3cd2aYr
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoYl8Kbn99
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9PBdPBvSH
「依奴──」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi5DfuM7MB
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02UM5L0Ulk
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtKCZlHq3
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTudYcpWyZP
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGw14AoM9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FWWlvLVsl
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviXKEpRZDr
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQodIfhuFYw
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Uv9NaWSm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3URvzhbZnh
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHFF3DmE6d
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4mWvawfm
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMUI17BsF
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyKw4yovij
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrD39o6XvU
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSIojHvDQ7
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBh3J0t6nV
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYB4rNRcrD
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE14sklQzK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsbYbD5Lfr
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGVcpiOnFa
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj34wPrh0w7
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljuQ4hCjrh
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hFVNPHj7f
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuzAVmksWr
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MycRzqmqk
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUswKwyPtW
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXTi5ICIHy
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYmATyjiA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk9iD3imWm
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmO9B8Ydw
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ZGGjxskG
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlJ0sInZj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX88OMSTKP
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwei1gHXpLP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHsder4C8X
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2nLvem9LM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULNwTkg9n4
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWHDHaX6NA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW98hfB5KX
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoeWr7LGkx
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfHC5dIhVp
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrMldZSdjT
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcXpe6oC3U
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCwZsyFfg
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLwliufPFg
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7743CLa4UQ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmQSCSKpaC
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi71DyJTko
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmedohUyou
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHQSKyZJgY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5YFXklQXA
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXQc6ZN6if
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyLtNKNTAa
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGltMLBkZ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0acifM7Ni
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqhTUzJI4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTlcBTB1l
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkdGhHVsv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdSKtca6EE
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjdtRWQ04K
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2M6gYixh
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKS89VXXOZ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO8hrbDxQV
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckUWRRu2FO
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjhQA7gyih
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLEnm1fJUS
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpcHq86uKx
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhAUQ92P9Z
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLoII654Yv
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpTD78Vkq
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySMUa0CJiT
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdPsDXDoj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmkj8fmQa6
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0er105ZV8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJEbhs3gZS
「我早就習慣了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErk4qb1REy
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0UghYkOvP
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEx8byeJWe
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eqKUvX4TY
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvTOjPgSs
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGKFZMdMe6
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszb56bQ1uD
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSR2ojuzL
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zhniu0tl4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiDuuibSq
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VVeoeaJl
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvozQ3UeCmJ
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0xrS2LwZ6
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0vX9DgEpv
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74wgtseTDn
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsSEdWgvsS
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZcbENwew
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZncVx3kVd
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHHLWxQpq
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzekgJhUUD3
「這裡是？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MloLIwHrM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0V3Qqpgam
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLXDzO8vsX
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsenXwNFGT4
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQq1hPQtq
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXDdhsauVS
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHCx0QLfu8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w9jcB2azL
依奴指了指身後的醫院：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡethPVarjr7
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnkr3gXOSJ
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9werba4G
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLEaudNiTh
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HNMgtFjb1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPuisTXai
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSiPot7gqX
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj70zJM2Ul
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2DQSjyJa9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwkKbQcKm
「不可以嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAwN2z5k3J
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1wv50rWiL
「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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i6bmuz6Lj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyNxxlmMGr
「把杯蓋給我。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgOHVzviJ4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0oT1PQlca
「就讓我握一下吧。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmo3xmKkS
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nRW03cnSs
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNDng865d
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5lhZ2zJcw
「依奴。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SjabbFWMx
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZnEEQKGn
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFyx9IYZMm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYt4RibVm8
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLO19NYQn
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSC4GGlh1W
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaiV7Nzaz3
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mPzbqE262
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrhEXUF9Vv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCyaSjI4bP
「溫度回來了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizvg7K6DoJ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdjpWJOEh5
「好了嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikY5EXuvbv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaxt1hhJo3
「再稍微這樣一下子。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8gOsb6nuP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU68HL0DYb
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlfmpIUKrV
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtrYaFh2CC
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUq3MNnD08
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSrrpW7NQu
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──472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mbI7w5fOM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ak2gUTOak
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgxBiLiL1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57zejhOVF
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx69kn1RPIZ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKr4l69YUT
「喂。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A4Mq9hnhA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU0fpbCnHt
「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？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6dt1DbJN1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtx7oSEI3t
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CSpmxeXBR
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o6Mb3J9CH
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpuGu5AVO

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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U3ZS8YC5A
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK6KZBOamG
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOgXaF1RN
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMIekfGQW
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT8Fj2tYlm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegTuFXPBC
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeoTErzYHk
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5LwPlLOdN
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxug1qV8gF

472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uf1Ctvbwr
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00LLhGOp8o

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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYmXhAz4I
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM5s1DNsxI
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwLODYCceJ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu148Y0nSoi
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPtIF0Vbt
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK12gQe8emH
依奴用平淡的口氣說：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiCu0Wf2JW

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyNdBAos3U

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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAHS6Klq0u
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0S6qBhymv
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfxfb4cf0j
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPokyjz6jWT
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDyOVxyIE
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE75XBxWoML
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqZaBoYRJZ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfark7bTZEv
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eh2LRih0v
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zSdWDigfD
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhCSBmtMuu

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCazmLzmpQ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4wyg4QrVy
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJuy8ICPmE
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fYrXN4eh
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvAdRfBSnP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmcy1xiy0n
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NNvjXbvnk
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QyVDsRKIV
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」。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK3bgxHt6t
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsZRznvYCI
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNT7meigB

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7mquNWVGw
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9tDN6phzU
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqlQMC8clE
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlZ3fKqd0z
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFC1pZlyj0
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDxITkmhEg
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgKL5DvjNd
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JOXr4cFZt
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPEf3a2V0

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2YeXZaUxg
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mT8PsJ6D
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6NhLvE5ik

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmijhL0vGA

「沒錯，」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkbtorxdn
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RKEkgn14N
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：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa37aiVkIw

她想要任憑這塊沒用地軀殼老去、腐朽，就像沉入骯髒的大海中一般，漸漸被毒物侵蝕殆盡，灼燒肉體、啃壞骨架，分解成寂寞的碎片。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJAn5QIOi

472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yVuAsfZxP
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHKcXE76gE
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkm3xNad8c

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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhXqttfcLS

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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg37JW7mUJH

472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCPDSkGTR
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwM67WbZ8H
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQBCZ1EBGe
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTfCWp8dV5
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpw0JJPgdZ
「但是依奴……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixaiPKhwIl
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOzP9lqpV6
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwCc6d3gB
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tqQ6T0XVB
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aYJB3iavH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcvLlEJABc
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqcvkDXQSC
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwewtcEmDn
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdQsIwR02A
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclp0VNcKm
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDGaxCOMf4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3gHvg5duy
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKR3Yd6WyY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfAihShaDD
世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdXZ7i3nYA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY8dYU53UH
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00va0bUPxU
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRfhLBGGyk
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xuTc4WMps
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo2E3O2CAr
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL7pCSWaJv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpcqzUXVbc
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgfSVI6eUJ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSenScdqTJ
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ110bnqbRiF
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJyg4cAjB
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3FEnI1nYD
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPtBOedUT
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWaLl8Ygc9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJ4UadbWN
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZLxzCq2TH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCRw1H2wy1
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFspmOGNPU
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPvOJerLAt
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ZsRbS9F3
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhATQsI3EY
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpXWWtEKU
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIRYZLVWE
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyifwiZWGy
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMdd5ana7
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJm3T0TiDk
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiksX9OPSl
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqJYvkqAJ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BjWWMiGMw
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kaZgw1bev
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrN7djYCZ6
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ95DfLTK9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJLzSGfXKC
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQAVSEuJvH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16dtd97DaU
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KVh7wCAnU
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lhhM7KHcl
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9JNrB0Ffj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiPOnFrfC
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtEf99QapM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwM4ZhNbLm
無數無辜的人死了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPA817LbC0
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG2YpA1uPv
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4o13Nq93
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKKbaKqDQw
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo169CTwEiP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7kMxdtUrR
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzjKjA5gL7
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhySsKA4Wl
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYPe4Sv5vm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FbL17FnzY
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4tVaLuhuQ
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e6fxz3CBh
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3scHgxVk02
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVmHc3et8p
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapqj0rWhmG
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzkWbnXGbs
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXffNiAXr1
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX6rkAADgQ
「也就是傭兵？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc7x0lyhIY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6HxVQBPv
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1bdK11LkG
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceySCDQHhw
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8fSkyKXsw
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNPyr0ivC4
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSfeDN2pu
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQYfmkqcA
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNsMPzJPR7
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUsiNjH1Sy
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5X9ucl7dS
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRBD6S4eY
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xoe41qR4i
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqYB0vwDC
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvDePr2XcG
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5bp8HFiUd
「為什麼選擇回來呢？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx9833j6Bo
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYjN7bWzSr
赫恩就像對著空氣探問般，輕盈地訴說：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3i9NchKgM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJmHaV2RB
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARIHkgPAxK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfA0pRF2Vh
「因為赫恩的緣故。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYm7RS8m0a

「因為我？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9LszEmDe

「旭夜告訴我，如果參與這個任務，就能見到妳。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwDNUmwhv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCgV5CkUR8
「依奴以前認識我嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jDvhHtvK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8NKGsXYQM
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVQdlka8I
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HMSOeDXUO
如果沒有黑色聖夜，任何奇蹟都無法發生。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4QwhnvKrh
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n17TZcXes
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHmOFR1hTX
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDn6arwx14
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndAf1wddz9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mObyoxSqE
那對無從尋求救贖的我們來說即是福音。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWiZKRXS3M
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqToYuZE9
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj6P6Bi4eM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuusXIgfIh4
「我明明什麼都不知道……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hD4Gjjnx1

「但妳已經做到了，即便如此已經足夠了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuns1qVH9DC
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnPMKVM480
依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQOGWHgu5
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxVyvqjz4S
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRL4GIo3p
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan1WMfkQd3
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nc8z38o1a
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdIlOKhlSV
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo83GHQaGWH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh93byOwtbg
「所以，我會保護妳。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ho7cpjHke

「不……不行。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajWtw9erQ4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7doDmRLU1
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWC0dvDUll
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GiL8r3TaT
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeLULpBbFm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs46MnfTVA2
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgP88AwrV6
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG27LAMMRxw
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMU6w51iEK
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgEM2YiCt
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？472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdm3swLowo
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexuMNglCv5
那些聲音，那些死亡。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2fOgyFqM
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcibb1479
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqaD0vsdVb
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpM55O2sKE
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2AXD3mJHm
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlxg8jtEvR
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1qckcjNZ0
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL8u5KOCj0
「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61lzj444b4
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lOvblBQNR
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW60dYLuu8y
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTRNGY1Bk
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDa6QQYPL2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbDXOJ9NEB
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAUfjt43lv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRTYt4uGXN
這就是恐懼嗎？472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wyT1E3a7C
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp6tuPNKPf
「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？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVnqxPgipI
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNagq7u9nx
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuXEz2qXU2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTjecB74Pw
「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……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanCmJhSATd
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcTifpApE1
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oj2cF5zyh
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeJtvOa25I
她驚愕地抬起頭。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdbT37qkBj
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzYFJf9xDQ
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMsFij0nO
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahZqXuhvQD
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgX7mv1Bb8
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ayvl2j8s
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBwrAqXTsi
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNJcM7KTCq
「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？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTwv9mVpYn
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClPZMgp93A
「可是……」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCxTYIWhf5
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlqPPNjIID
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw10JipwBs
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXNPb4ZKsc
「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！」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyPZ4RKOkq
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplPIVGSytb
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrs6o1epQc
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvF8WXFFvo
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3s6VV3LQv
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0sC6ngrb9
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：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXYhAX7xt2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZF2fSs9Ir
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQpDI9DvWY
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7mZ2TVhvy
「感受到了嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZBnlmrinN
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rDiDEJtJO
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCrlUzqop
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj4zFlLpkN
所以，已經沒有問題了。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVe1qn56a9
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoT1NmPqN
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVRMfJ0OOV
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9OiJF0Mg
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJk4qu6dId
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09EurzTXJ
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxNFRt0xYH
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMFQc5K3Jc
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M0QGm5WcP
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcxVY17cDz
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1PhIZDrSB
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreE3UXCpHc
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Px3MSXq3t
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrOMeBRNAK
「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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGq4y8g8Vk
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMvZWGVLF
「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJDMJKjZ0t
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvo9cQJCQ4
——起點於黑色聖夜。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUFoXZ3J1h
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO6A7Q7xB4
那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT3nX0xCVN
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0StLtiaJOB
在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl53up0PqA
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Hvd2wEzp
「嗯，沒錯，戰爭終於開始了。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4TsDyjAq

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzreSJ3cn
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8v1C8gD4H
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRi8hX5eR2
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxol9DmoN4p
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK01rMtfpI
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvROZ0Ca3d4
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiB3ylhssb
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgCvCE2cr2
「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。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5APgfnnwW
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtn1qq51Xh
「地獄——」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQnTrDu1s
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD9VKtmtbo
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagWF7wH9v
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSz7WbJzGT
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWU5cWwEb

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7n0NicoT0
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF195nQV2V
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。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tuxGyARlO
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcHuV3KX8k
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E8UOYWury
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNh0xHZr9
「不可以，」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LhlJga1cl
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyTTkLNlLZ
她輕輕推開了依奴的擁抱。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhViAqEYl5
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjemKFRA0a
「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLdv0JUIV
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdsczMrWPv
那或許是她此生至今，第一句最為堅定的話語。472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrVNDKzJT
「崩塌還沒有結束，事情還沒有改變，而我也……還沒有獲得自由。」
