周諾寧站在一樓控制室的螢幕前面，臉色極深盯著畫面裡的男人，乖巧讓技術員給他戴上專用眼鏡，在空氣裡點點按按，旁邊實時顯示著他的心跳數。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZCDvm4UNG
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddHPYzbAS
暫時還很平穩。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZzL1VlaJ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnftdRIrxN
控制室裡放置了兩部超級電腦，三個技術員並排而坐，各自負責監控不同的數據，實時將資料傳送回去總部，確保沒有任何異常。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm55wOVBHB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYm5KFgqTY
周諾寧敲了敲中間那人的椅子，「能給他設定最低難度的模式嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn88lKelFR2
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQ3UGOf0L
「我們設定了全自動系統，訓練模式全由電腦按照測驗結果選擇。」坐在中間的技術員是這次模擬訓練的總負責人，主要負責所有解說工作。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeAzYkVlgO
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDvGYjKhS8
「上次你不是直接設定了最高難度的？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BQ84lnqH
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD16bokIGr
「這次上總下達指令，絕對不能啟用手動功能。」他直白地向周諾寧說明，「以免周總公器私用。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4idAHBq3W
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwt9x551F2
周諾寧捏緊指腹，狠狠地睨著機器下方的企業標誌。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ6ZXq4JGo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aCDCvKEtK
姓上官的⋯⋯她遲早要他好看。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyje5bq5j2g
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yclOyUFB4
「不過上總也交代，因為這次是給一般人做的實驗，最高只開放第三階段的訓練模式。」技術員遲了幾秒才補充。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe4Tq3jnW0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgLx4hyUY
周諾寧一個冷眼掃過去，「早這麼說就行了。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzwi1ebiV5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEaEJoEx2y
她親身去模擬測試時，體驗過最高階的六星訓練，知道沒有一定的軍訓經驗，是絕對不可能承受得住。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiedjW1HAj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZD69sopGU
但以南翠球員的膽小程度來說，她不用看電腦也知道他們沒幾個能到第二階段。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw9D9rR9D5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKh6VlBAVh
本來她預計帶著司徒辰進去，至少也能到第四階段，到時候就能看到這個男人黏緊她不放的有趣模樣，順帶補足這段期間沒能獨處的時光。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLXvaqrK5w
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p1HAentn8
誰知道這男人居然這麼固執，都安排好一切到了門前，還是不肯跟她公器私用。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFjFdliKYB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL2BiX1aNX
威脅不行，恐嚇不行，生氣也不行。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkwd2zKsEA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD54KyBlnEa
「不過對一般人來說，第三階段也有機會造成精神損傷，所以我們也會密切留意訓練情況。」技術員說，「但今天電腦暫時未有判定任何人適合進行第三階段的測試。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyjYT03x27
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBFPFNf9z
周諾寧的視線回到畫面，紅外線鏡頭切換到經過改裝的活動室，幾部藏在天花板的三維打印機開始快速起動，地上的物件逐漸成形，等到男人站在起始點，仿照工廠打造的空間已經完成，白色的氣體慢慢洩入。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs949uL65cB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bYnxyOyCH
周諾寧眉角輕皺，「這是第幾階段？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXvtT25Lr3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JjRL2F8E
「第二階段。」技術員一邊觀察數據，一邊給周諾寧解釋，「除了利用恐懼擾亂感官，也會透過環境轉換增加大腦的混亂程度。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnykAxPXG5u
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1IM1LMztv
周諾寧挑眉，「他不到第三階段？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDBtQ5R8YD
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdnI4gNwjy
看來一個人進去，這男人還是蠻害怕的。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ogxCFTarL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFRjJVBcA
技術員聳肩，似是覺得很平常，「大部分新兵也只是剛好能夠達到第三階段的要求，以這位參加者來說，他的承受程度已經很接近第三階段，是今天所有參加者中數值最高的了。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJCEtzQb3f
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpfcB9fRgO
那也不算太差。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqv4rL27lW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSWrNQYsw7
此時砰的一聲，畫面裡男人被一股機器發出的衝力撞飛在地上，剛才的白色氣體變濃，螢幕右上方的溫度不斷上升，男人艱難地咳嗽著爬起來。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY7gjy9BRp
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapahip4LiZ
周諾寧臉色一繃。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu42KcQqNWo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNSZOwBc3
「第二階段就有爆破？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71egMnhg5G
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBQhhn9Gp
技術員很冷靜地輸入程式碼，「本來應該只會起火，有機會是氣體洩出所產生的異常，我們正在了解是哪裡出現了問題。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqI3gTJRju
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vB3MERr0H
她看向顯示虛擬實境的螢幕上，男人的四周燃起大火，視野閃爍模糊，但實際上他身處的環境根本沒有起火，只是溫度和聲音再加上逼真的畫面，讓他產生了錯覺。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpPLEyll4
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBaLM5E7lI
周諾寧咬牙，已經恨不得把那個男人帶出來了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg6gGkZZmM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPOpoU0WS0
「過了多久？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cK2T7RaC6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEcvrObntw
「不到五分鐘。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRDqYEeWW7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gl46l4olZ
才不到五分鐘⋯⋯就是說司徒辰不是在大火下繼續被折磨像六年般漫長的六分鐘，熬到系統自動結束訓練，就是要打起精神趕快找到出口離開。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkCBiazI7W
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKO0DXbbHh
她看著男人跌坐在地上，縮成一團猛烈咳嗽的身影，不由得後悔自己沒有跟著進去，更後悔為了跟他獨處而借來這麼一套爛東西。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5r7PsaEUP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjeZ1pBMax
她知道他撐得過去，也知道他不會那麼輕易放棄，但她寧願自己能陪著他痛，甚至代他受苦。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1zgKrm6h
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJUTe38lKf
旁邊輔助的技術員低聲報告了一句，中間的技術員看了螢幕一眼，敲打鍵盤的速度突然加快，不斷向兩邊下達指令，三人的神色都變得嚴肅凝重。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ4SOdDPAR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYEshpcAHS
周諾寧眉頭一擰，厲聲詢問，「甚麼情況？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw9fdBIPKX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImNuVLVpT
技術員一邊快速敲打一邊說明，「電腦偵測到參加者的意識有脫離虛擬實境的跡象，突然自行將測試提升到第三階段，之前沒有發生過這種情況⋯⋯」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf3tY6tCvS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsACk7HaVA4
周諾寧怒了，「說重點！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTfnE8fwN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk1C3JU7qv
「電腦在煙霧裡混合了微量的CS催淚性氣體⋯⋯」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZipQYm7HI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYPjBEjx9e
「CS氣體？在一般人的訓練裡你放CS氣體？你們上總就是這麼吩咐的！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMeedGXPs6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xyV41m69
「我們為了安全起見，一開始已經關掉了CS氣體，但電腦自行重啓功能⋯⋯」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnwz2MG1Y
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV366dxhtBG
「那就給他指示找到防毒面罩的位置！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzRVnSRKn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M75tM8iHg
「現在實境依照第二階段打造，系統沒有製作防毒面罩⋯⋯」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPQ6QJCZSa
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5aS69U0JW
周諾寧怒然扯起技術員的衣領，眼底一片猩紅，「那就馬上關掉系統！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8ti5HMUc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmFozChd5S
「很抱歉我不能這麼做！」技術員堅決拒絕，「柏修斯比一般的虛擬實境更真實，如果突然切斷，會造成嚴重的虛實錯亂，這對參加者的大腦神經損傷極大！而且階段越高，創傷就越大，必須要由電腦逐步將虛擬實境融合現實後再結束才最安全！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WU7MWTC4C
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh7vavBs5r
「那就讓電腦馬上開始融合現實！」周諾寧將技術員整個人提起。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxXCNYL5IB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBXOhrce8
技術員腳尖離地晃動，衣領勒住喉嚨呼吸困難，但仍很堅決，「第三階段剛剛啟動⋯⋯要確保參加者的心智安全⋯⋯前後至少需要六分鐘的緩衝時間⋯⋯咳咳咳⋯⋯」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOsoXW5L0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGeEYTApM
「所以他還得吸六分鐘的毒氣？」周諾寧滿身殺氣，幾乎想把這技術員宰掉。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnW9yV9OZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGECy0Bh0R
旁邊的技術員看總技術員已經臉漲紅得透不過氣，急忙開口，「周總！我們可以馬上啟動三維打印系統，三十秒就能製作好防毒面罩，現在只要徐技術員的權限確認就可以了！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLDw7XVMY
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz83ycp1s8
徐技術員就是正被周諾寧吊在半空的高瘦男人。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOtq6vJxWg
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStdEddYLB9
周諾寧眼底深沉，一身低氣壓，捏緊他的衣領，突然猛地鬆手。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRfgvmlx37
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7UJiA1B0b
總技術員跌在地上，大口扯著氣息撫摸著脖子。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl79yuo5MH8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1svzYBc7m
周諾寧往下睨著他，「記著，要是裡面那男人有甚麼事，你會比現在痛苦一百倍。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe11wRQ4nw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRx9uqPEoS
另外兩個技術員趕忙扶起那個姓徐的技術員，他臉色因為缺氧有點蒼白，但沒有半點退縮之意，「請周總放心⋯⋯作為盡責的開發人員，我會盡全力確保所有使用者的安危。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71BnQmqVU
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrPVJ78ck
然後他便坐回自己的位置，帶著顯白的臉繼續指揮其他技術員工作。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFpKwGfnL
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82mvoadRu2
周諾寧的胸腔裡怒氣翻滾，卻又知道此刻只有技術人員最清楚裡面的狀況，也只有他們知道用甚麼方法，能安全地把司徒辰從仿真的世界中帶出來。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBah4ozsaXj
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDbvsNf2b
而她只能坐以待斃，眼白白看著那男人吸入氣體後咳嗽加劇，眼角冒出淚花，漸漸被混濁的煙氣支配意識，無力往旁邊一倒。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqEmIk0G1a
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kijPGlJo6
周諾寧強壓著要爆發氣息撥出電話。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939mPPflML
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31wqpklprF
接起電話的男人語調儒雅，帶著輕鬆，「怎麼樣？我的得意之作，還過得去嗎？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5mVzbcLzu
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa137EaOlip
「你的得意之作，」周諾寧忿怒低吼，沒心情跟他開玩笑。「現在打算用CS氣體毒殺我男人。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKcoOf0QkF
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJBu79OaHt
對頭明顯一頓，轉換了持話筒的姿勢，但語調依舊很淡定，「放心，我的柏修斯就像上帝，不會給予人類他們無法承受的考驗。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfAoTMMql
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy9yOix3RC
柏修斯是希臘神話中代表責任和信譽的戰士，無論面對多強大的敵人仍會堅毅不屈戰鬥到底，即使對手可能只是自己。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnoJeDWO3
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FGGGdWY5
就像在虛擬的實境裡，是自己內心的恐懼和軟弱製造了恐慌，理智一時忘了一切都是建構出來的世界，逐漸相信虛假才是真實。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyf9sS2v7D
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVNi1ofg8
「神提出挑戰，是因為對人有信念。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWOZYXDoc
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8kO6X6iXI
意志足夠強大，就不會被恐懼淹沒。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedKNFuh83P
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQEHqGcQJ
要鬥爭的對手，其實從來只有自己。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSkw7LYPw
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtOdRBmkUg
周諾寧看向螢幕，神色仍舊深沉，那股不安仍在翻騰。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkrJmY3TN8
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gpGQ0jJB
倒在地上的男人像是失去了意識一動不動，任由毒氣蠶食他的身體。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxBGFik872
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv0ZppoYXS
仔細地看，才會發現畫面裡很緩慢地出現了男人伸出的指尖，在塵土中抓緊地面，一下下拖行著身子，朝剛才不遠處的出發點匍匐前進。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkidY8EDFi
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQz0wseuv0
她銳利的眼眸眯成直線，盯著那隻手費盡力量攥住毛巾，再顫著手擰開水瓶，水柱落入乾爽柔軟的毛巾面料，沖散白煙裊裊的迷霧空間。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKISvFthy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSBi1mOyI3
她握緊手機，眼底落了幾分驕傲的色澤。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1PrPfpAKh
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwPHIwPTei
「也對，我的男人，確實值得神給予挑戰。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEdkYo639i
