在午前的猛陽照耀下,凌亂的足跡遍佈沙灘。昨天屹立於此的茅屋已經全數拆除,木條一部份舖在地上,砌出巨大的SOS字樣;另一部份充當木柴,升起一溜黑煙劃過清澄的藍色天空。367Please respect copyright.PENANA0cYPrRhofn
367Please respect copyright.PENANAzpXWF9aMrN
SOS不遠處的樹蔭下,祐嘉屈膝而坐,她看著掌上的黑色小塊,回想昨天初秋的說話:367Please respect copyright.PENANALXaYK8aZLb
367Please respect copyright.PENANALEHYnlW37x
「有人在監視我們。雖然不知道監視者的目的,但我們漂流到島上這回事,並不是一場意外。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAgETAbXK4su
367Please respect copyright.PENANAwcXNSj0P0I
「要不要跟大小姐報告,是你的選擇。緊記要謹慎行事。因為,我們不能確定『發現被監視』這回事,是不是監視者們容許的。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAbX0pfNw3uu
367Please respect copyright.PENANAoAwt0yH83l
「我會繼續往島裡探索,你們不用費神找我,有新發現我會再回來。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAb8upeYM2HH
367Please respect copyright.PENANAarl6Aawaye
「能量飲品,我拿兩罐囉,當作阻止跳崖的報酬。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAoU9bGVuqPO
367Please respect copyright.PENANAmPEjE2bdBB
針孔攝錄機在祐嘉的掌心翻來覆去,動作毫無意義,可是祐嘉覺得一旦停下來,就代表自己必須下定決心。367Please respect copyright.PENANAv0KydwfUDe
367Please respect copyright.PENANA3YKzsaMD5r
把現況告知大小姐是板上釘釘的事情,祐嘉並不質疑其必要性。需要煩惱的點是,如何避過監視,安全地進行報告。367Please respect copyright.PENANAQmFckBTsQO
367Please respect copyright.PENANAmVMT6xG5vV
沙灘環境空曠,理論上很難設置監視器,應為最佳的對話場地。然而,昨晚開始,大小姐決定將沙灘的據點移師至廢城裡,城中地形複雜,有太多看不見的角落,監視者的視線根本防不勝防。
能夠不驚動監視者,態度自然的把大小姐引到沙灘來,自己的頭腦真的能想出如此慎密的計劃嗎?367Please respect copyright.PENANAIF1U7rD4fe
367Please respect copyright.PENANASJRVbgjbOZ
換作是Hina會如何應對呢?367Please respect copyright.PENANAWaNChtXxqK
367Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0Cdx4qcOg
擅於社交的她一定能設計完美說辭,快想想,Hina會怎樣說?367Please respect copyright.PENANAgCGcmg85aq
367Please respect copyright.PENANAFMr4QeFVnE
踏過沙子的腳步聲從背後傳來,把祐嘉的心神拉回現實。她將針孔攝錄機收入口袋,轉頭面向步聲的主人……367Please respect copyright.PENANAsbaiCUC1qz
367Please respect copyright.PENANA2D6Gtz2DKI
人工心臟停頓了兩秒……367Please respect copyright.PENANAzyRHWB6j8i
367Please respect copyright.PENANA5lSZf1CBFs
黑色少女的影子蓋過祐嘉的臉,鏡片後銳利的眼光直穿她的靈魂之窗。
367Please respect copyright.PENANA7PvLH2dj9E
「紅楓。」祐嘉開聲才發覺自己的喉嚨在顫抖,「找我有事嗎?」367Please respect copyright.PENANATnsrHNKL5v
367Please respect copyright.PENANAbZcoXRWgq5
「我不是叫紅楓,那是我原型的名字。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAOdCGsDjPPh
367Please respect copyright.PENANA5XMoteZ67q
「對不起。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAhhiJt7TaJn
367Please respect copyright.PENANAU917CvF6W0
祐嘉反射性的道歉,語氣謙卑得連自己都感到陌生。367Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ0l8gMjzH
367Please respect copyright.PENANApiklH7ju9z
「現在,一個人嗎?」她說。367Please respect copyright.PENANAsPeWSRLhyB
367Please respect copyright.PENANAUENj6XyMSp
「只有我一個。」嘴巴著了魔似的。367Please respect copyright.PENANAmWUBd4EFes
367Please respect copyright.PENANAfmvPEYcOdB
「太好了,沒有人會打擾我們。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAbvp8oivWUo
367Please respect copyright.PENANAF8c9dsaTud
憑空出現一個正方形將紅楓的臉框住。驚訝的眨眼後,祐嘉便意識到那是只有自己看見的電子視窗。鮮豔紅字顯示在正方形旁邊,三角形内的驚嘆號刺眼地閃爍。367Please respect copyright.PENANAQbiDRdv1ll

建議:遠離,報警
那是距今二十多年前,一個連原型祐嘉都未出生的時代,發生了一件極為轟動的兇殺案。一男一女於單位内慘遭殺害,兇手是男死者的未婚妻——紅楓。367Please respect copyright.PENANA3xHmGBRVkx
367Please respect copyright.PENANAerchcshANF
她的行兇動機是男方出軌,女死者則是小三。紅楓在審訊中坦誠認罪,最後因為行兇手法殘暴而被判死刑。紅楓放棄上訴,一年後於監獄内接受注射死刑。其名字像墨汁滴入一缸清水般,隨時間丟淡就此被世人遺忘,直到半年後……367Please respect copyright.PENANAYuAXuVduUG
367Please respect copyright.PENANAEPsfrAMjAP
發生了全球首宗仿真人殺人事件,死者是一男一女,兇手是男方的仿真情人,靈魂倒模的原型是紅楓。367Please respect copyright.PENANAefP5cGcyp2
367Please respect copyright.PENANAgBvPcqsq64
原來,紅楓在犯下駭人聽聞的謀殺以前,曾為籌備結婚費用而進行靈魂倒模。初代仿真情人使用的靈魂倒模為五人,紅楓就是當中的『小鳥依人』型號。
發生紅楓事件時,正是阿馬茲科技公司初推出仿真情人的時期。為避免影響公眾對仿真情人的信心,阿馬茲科技沒有回收紅楓系列,反而刻意隱瞞實情,導致紅楓系列被大量生產。367Please respect copyright.PENANAFu15PBrT4H
367Please respect copyright.PENANAEyUwX4ZxNO
隨時間經過,類似的謀殺事件持續發生。直到政府司法部起訴阿馬茲科技並進行強制回收,因紅楓系列而受嚴重肢體傷害或死亡人數高達八十人,紅楓系列對認證情人的殺害率為四成。
以前,紅楓是只存在於文字裡的人物,被害人也只是籠統的數字。連身處的年代也不同,活在生死線對岸的人。現在,那個書中人就站在面前,平面資訊徹底化成了立體現實。367Please respect copyright.PENANAMfcUB6sF25
367Please respect copyright.PENANAxy6PjeiHVo
紅楓雙臂低垂,木訥的站在兩步距離外。祐嘉的手不自然的往半空揮動,試圖關閉警告視窗的舉動引起了紅楓注意。367Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9iO7Mv2V5
367Please respect copyright.PENANAo9VKuM1Ol7
「關閉視窗的選項在手心。」她提示道。367Please respect copyright.PENANApwoI90oTbj
367Please respect copyright.PENANANEvOlc0S2T
祐嘉動作生硬的按下掌心内的按鈕,紅楓臉上的正方形終於消失。367Please respect copyright.PENANAj1dCDhAfa5
367Please respect copyright.PENANAM6pTkmQYmh
「聽說只要我接近到三米内,你們的系統便會開始警報,真是個著重安全的設計。」紅楓的語氣平坦不帶半分感情,無法得知此話到底出於自嘲還是抱怨。367Please respect copyright.PENANAhaRnvgivYv
367Please respect copyright.PENANAhSWaV1vqFf
「是啦,紅光閃個不停很惱人,謝謝你。」祐嘉調整表情,模仿Hina的交際式笑容。然而,從紅楓的眉毛得知,她的模仿相當拙劣。367Please respect copyright.PENANATMpN44ok2a
367Please respect copyright.PENANAiFk5uSYoAZ
「找我有事嗎?」在氣氛更加尷尬前,她趕緊推進話題。367Please respect copyright.PENANAIBY057McnQ
367Please respect copyright.PENANAOXofiDJ03G
「有問題要問你,」她說,「你喜歡Hina嗎?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAFg0FMVqGiP
367Please respect copyright.PENANAIp9RYCROPF
氣氛由尷尬轉變為難以理解。367Please respect copyright.PENANA3AENwW4OV1
367Please respect copyright.PENANAo6qbQRAJZR
「哈?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAbEKBTeavyn
367Please respect copyright.PENANAXHeKTkx6cW
相同的問題假如出自櫻或安德魯,甚至是大小姐之口,祐嘉應該會原地爆炸,尷尬得無地自容吧。然而,現在祐嘉的心脈成了水平線,嘴巴如上水的魚般半開半合。367Please respect copyright.PENANAwvyF50VADr
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvCVxGXw1q5
「我的咬字發音不清晰嗎?」紅楓語氣平淡,更顯字句的壓迫力,「我再問一次,你喜歡Hina嗎?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAMdNfe82FhZ
367Please respect copyright.PENANAHNLHNZHnTq
祐嘉並非『不懂』回答,她是『不想』回答。感覺無論承認與否,都等同把自己最脆弱的弱點置於刀鋒上。367Please respect copyright.PENANAhkPb92rG5j
367Please respect copyright.PENANAj4dTHO7rtK
她直視紅楓銳利的眼睛,嘗試看透隱藏於瞳孔背後的意圖。她不敢相信自己正在跟殺人犯對視,就像一場眼力的拔河,只要一刻移開視線便輸了,等於向對方示弱。367Please respect copyright.PENANAspSOxJzynL
367Please respect copyright.PENANA1epMoUIkrb
紅楓的眼睛烏黑深邃,與白皙的眼眶形成強烈對比。線條鮮明的睫毛像長矛列陣,充滿了敵意和侵略性。水珠在眼角凝聚,一條河流劃過了臉頰……367Please respect copyright.PENANAyyWueVOeMq
367Please respect copyright.PENANAhCGuut6T4A
她在哭泣……367Please respect copyright.PENANAqnSIMbeKaF
367Please respect copyright.PENANAPCX9FUZCpI
紅楓跪到祐嘉面前,緊緊的抱住了她。也許是黑色水手服特別吸熱,讓這個擁抱十分温暖。367Please respect copyright.PENANAZznufzdP9z
367Please respect copyright.PENANAnMAdjo7jPP
「那個…這是…甚麼?」祐嘉不知雙手該往那處擺,使姿勢十分彆扭。367Please respect copyright.PENANA9YolTSTGDv
367Please respect copyright.PENANAOFhhceFRWX
祐嘉慢慢的,試探性的把手降到紅楓背上。她瘦削的身體在顫抖,下巴少氣無力的壓住她的肩膀,在她的耳邊飲泣。367Please respect copyright.PENANAAHL9gxJwxh
367Please respect copyright.PENANAatkDYI4IYd
「等等,為甚麼要哭?」說話聽回祐嘉耳中,她才發覺自己在哽咽。367Please respect copyright.PENANAXn2MSpzsUr
367Please respect copyright.PENANA8I8BVoAiNA
「為甚麼要哭?」這次,她是問自己。367Please respect copyright.PENANAfbiHDH9MAa
367Please respect copyright.PENANAAQtGqhw3gE
她仰起脖子,好像就能避免淚水突破表面張力。然而,當熱流劃過臉頰,界線被衝破了。367Please respect copyright.PENANA0cZkgPyxJr
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvVMV6EZulD
祐嘉放聲嘶叫,十指握起兩個布團,紅楓的上衣也跟著歪斜變形。367Please respect copyright.PENANAqX924wudvq
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvfkqqOJRlN
「我知道哭是沒用的……!所以我不哭……!我想要保持理性,我們才認識不到半天…何來的感情基礎讓我崩潰啊……!」367Please respect copyright.PENANArv8Px5HtNs
367Please respect copyright.PENANApRSRGykRea
去他的理性……367Please respect copyright.PENANAGD6XbwjYNs
367Please respect copyright.PENANADC2jJ4Di82
「好奇怪啊!我們是女生啊!但我真的好喜歡Hina!我好想她能復活!即使把我忘記了,我也想和她再次成為朋友!再次成為認證情人!」367Please respect copyright.PENANAnnpRP4ciDk
367Please respect copyright.PENANAX3VdimmaeF
紅楓輕輕拍背,抱著哆嗦的祐嘉,「盡情哭吧,沒有人看見。全部發洩出來,我會接受你的一切。」367Please respect copyright.PENANABwjiL6Pjvu
367Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKstHrTAV
到底過了多久?沒有人去計算。
也許是十分鐘?或許半個鐘?
不知道。367Please respect copyright.PENANAMSIXZPkR6d
367Please respect copyright.PENANAPWMlhgUcNh
只是,對祐嘉而言彷如隔世。367Please respect copyright.PENANAyP0dpRb2X7
367Please respect copyright.PENANAXmSIeNVlYs
斷開的理智線重新連接,祐嘉放開手中的布團。紅楓也鬆開了環抱,向後退半個身。367Please respect copyright.PENANA6aj5zCzwXc
367Please respect copyright.PENANAlZpsc4ZUND
祐嘉看著紅楓肩上一大片淚痕,罪疚油然而生。367Please respect copyright.PENANArv7esJ2DXO
367Please respect copyright.PENANA3eUlMV1jw3
「抱歉。」367Please respect copyright.PENANApU4wTV0QC5
367Please respect copyright.PENANAkqu4wCwy0j
「不要緊。」她拉住衣領,整理皺巴巴的衣服。367Please respect copyright.PENANAIKK5ykKeJG
367Please respect copyright.PENANAORBcFPbIED
祐嘉脫下眼鏡,狼狽的搓揉眼睛將淚水抹去,「Hina說的對,你不是壞人,謝謝。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAzSMuW1orhN
367Please respect copyright.PENANAEqeyPuRhsb
紅楓的表情帶著一點意外,「她,是唯一願意直視我的人。對我這種人,她依然釋出善意。因此,我會為她的離開感到傷心難過。」367Please respect copyright.PENANADFygCC89zT
367Please respect copyright.PENANApXHafYjLzU
「抱歉。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAYC2gH610z5

「為了甚麼?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAj4MkdKrxUG
367Please respect copyright.PENANAicnhVksh04
祐嘉的手還在抖,害她不能把眼鏡扶正。鏡框歪歪的架在紅潤的鼻梁上。「我誤信謠言以為你是可怕的人,剛才保持警戒的自己簡直像笨蛋一樣。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAnxOHCwOJpv
367Please respect copyright.PENANA78pnHtZlkQ
紅楓沒有表現明顯的表情,她說,「從昌那兒聽到關於我的事,看來我的原型和同系列的仿真人鬧得滿城風雨。我並非要辯護,只是,她們對我而言都是別的個體,比較像母親和姊妹的感覺。也許我們的思考模式相同,但不代表我會做出和她們一樣的行徑。」367Please respect copyright.PENANA1Slm3vAoXA
367Please respect copyright.PENANA8NePhVVyv4
「我相信你。在政府執行強制回收時,有不少紅楓系列沒有犯罪紀錄,民間也有不少抗議聲音。我相信你是好的紅楓。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAcfKqgaNqdA
367Please respect copyright.PENANAAKLtDysEfY
「好的紅楓……」她咬住下唇,表現出明顯的焦慮,「難說,有時我也不相信自己。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAaRo550tNRP
367Please respect copyright.PENANArSVH6yK1iP
祐嘉被弄糊塗了,難道紅楓此行的目的不是破除誤解建立信任嗎?「甚麼意思?」367Please respect copyright.PENANADQeVWVf8By
367Please respect copyright.PENANAchHvm6kea5
「我的屬性是『恐怖情人』,是,有的男人就好這一味。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAEXVzFSH19T

「慢著,紅楓系列不是停產了嗎?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAkVmlSixWKw
367Please respect copyright.PENANAJZLJa7bZlp
「只是換成地下生產罷了,『禁忌的仿真情人』是鮮明的綽頭,男人肯為此出高價。萬一被抓到,只要說是盗版的便行。話說回來,你認為恐怖情人的關鍵是甚麼?你可以老實說。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAYNxu8z9SM1
367Please respect copyright.PENANAzF3S6qGNHM
「為情傷人?為了獨佔愛人不在乎偏激手段……」祐嘉越說越小聲。367Please respect copyright.PENANAvJpHFQDS7z
367Please respect copyright.PENANAUtIPbfdYmD
紅楓沒有表情,應該沒有生氣。367Please respect copyright.PENANADVbQJ8AseT
367Please respect copyright.PENANAsuAswWoyzH
「說對了一半,關鍵點是『情人』的存在。缺乏迷戀對象的我,無法發揮本性。打個比喻,玩心理測驗時沒有符合自己的選項,唯有勉強選一個比較喜歡的,這樣。我作為『恐怖情人』的一面沒有被啟動,就像困在蛹裡不能羽化的……嗯,飛蛾。」367Please respect copyright.PENANA5oH3XV1yiP
367Please respect copyright.PENANARWpSIbD1MQ
「必須解除大家的誤會才行。」祐嘉主動拉起紅楓的手,「把你的情況告訴大小姐吧,她很明白事理,一定會願意幫你解釋,讓大家接納你。」367Please respect copyright.PENANA8d6T8J6QQ9
367Please respect copyright.PENANAmbZaq2Bn1Y
「明白事理嗎……」紅楓臉上閃過一個表情,轉瞬即逝,那是不屑的冷笑,「就這樣吧,她們是值得信賴的人。你無須在意我的感受,我習慣孤獨。」367Please respect copyright.PENANApUNf3zBfhD
367Please respect copyright.PENANAlofFrj4whz
祐嘉全身一抖,好像人工心臟被針扎到,「大小姐跟你說過甚麼嗎?」367Please respect copyright.PENANAudXXOehxND
367Please respect copyright.PENANATyEyIUjWaL

「祐嘉,我心領你的好意,但請不要跟她們對質。她們是高等仿真人,擁有全部原型時的記憶。也許,我的姊妹曾直接或間接傷害過她們。在弄清楚事情的原由前,你不應該先入為主胡亂批判。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAIxw1OK1T1h
367Please respect copyright.PENANAybDQt7Kjgj
祐嘉搔搔鼻子,怒火被澆熄而有點失去方向,「既然本人不在乎,我也沒有生氣的基礎了。不過,假如以後被找麻煩,我一定會站在你那邊。」367Please respect copyright.PENANAUN1iJugOvV
