將目光轉回到威米堤身上，風提起劍，做出攻擊的姿勢，「接下來，該你了！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyItLHkBlR
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnXfvV9UHP
威米堤驚恐地東張西望。身邊已經沒人可以阻擋風，偏偏離他較近的護衛全在外頭，想到這，臉色不自覺鐵青起來。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMezz58MVQk
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ9VK0OwfB
突然，威米堤瞄到平台上的小男孩，一股念頭油然而生，既然橫豎都是死，不如就將計就計。隨即衝向前，並將藏在衣袖裡的小刀架在小男孩的頸脖上。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskgUekFHn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkPQ3yVlWE
「把手上的劍丟掉！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMybol7tArM
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QBu1NIiR
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N12XCrYK3
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPGIWKExp
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHMjRJXnhq
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLJxo8bIMH
緊握手中的劍，風心裡十分猶豫。倘若讓他逃出去救援，自己是無法對其他人下手。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQYIqAUULE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2H0o8pDOU
據童年的記憶，這裡的衛兵跟奴隸絕大部分都是威米堤擄回來的。長相好的，不是被賣掉，要不就是留在城內當奴婢；體格好的，就指派為衛兵；至於瘦弱又長相不起眼的，就成為階下囚的奴隸。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrbYWdjWq5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcFcgTjNUs
即使有血緣關係的親人，也會因為階級不同，過著天差地別的生活，倘若替對方求情，求情者與被求情者都會被威米堤無情殺害。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTpvAYHZ5u
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CD5SYr9he
「再不把劍放下，就別怪我不客氣…」威米堤往小男孩的脖子輕劃一刀，火紅的鮮血立刻流出。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHhiS8KpY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96ApfZk4j
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZu3e6HNAd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fXAbCoRBN
現在到底該怎麼做才好…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hi1eTgLLO
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWa67EMAZ7
「放…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwlzPkk31V
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3sjGCJVn
小男孩猛然大喊，硬是壓過威米堤的聲音，「我跟他毫不相干，就算你殺了我，他也不會覺得怎樣。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQxr3u6wn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfGLDdEqBw
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzOmd6UVf2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBs7tf5E5g
小男孩幾度向風眨眼暗示，「你要逃－－最好趁現在，否則在你殺了我之後，他馬上就會就衝上來殺你。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCXtsr0qoA
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEuOzZVBH
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIomm38jc19
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZVQuUU6M
「你給我閉…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHScW3HvAMr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtI8opbvuF
「沒錯！就算他“死掉”…也跟我無關。」風故意加重語氣，嚴肅的神情，再加上不夾任何情感的口吻，讓人有所畏懼。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkZFGrOb3m
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJq3PRKFp
「我真的要動手了！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUgM9mXvz
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJC2XdHRw
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtXaVpuS87
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW68HcCh2k
「你不要過來！否則我真的殺了他！」威米堤慌了，舉起小刀往風的方向亂揮亂砍。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HVtu3Lddh
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9wnxD12OR
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeAydqqADM
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmyoDAs1Q7
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrmLjtLGhg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVsR4vRglr
風不斷往前進，逼得威米堤一腳跨出平台外，底下的猛獸吼叫聲隨之傳來。眼看機不可失，小男孩猛然咬住威米堤的手。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVvAjwYiqH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0xCXDe9K
「痛…啊－－」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf9CWAjuR2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAdvHeFGZ
被這一咬，威米堤一個重心不穩，整個人跌落直下。掉落的同時，幾隻猛獸早已爭先恐後地張大嘴巴，好隨時準備享用食物。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPer4zqeush
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PJRGj861z
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaph8ZGx8Wc
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiadOeEDcU
對於這種血腥畫面，風早已麻痺，甚至是平常不過之事。看到身旁的小男孩，弱小的身軀不斷顫抖。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyQ7Mxcgri
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVfgMe8DIy
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZA7cHaPT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIH2HBSHR8
「我不要緊…」小男孩別過頭，笑容中夾雜著悲傷，「這種畫面我已經看過好幾遍，我的同伴全都被威米堤這樣處決。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JyLBy5NPU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T0xbGmOMP
放眼望去，底下遍地屍骨，風明白地閉上眼。所有人就如同威米堤那般，被猛獸咬扯、撕裂、啃食，任憑誰都會難過。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19MEX2VCCn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFTDLWc5Ys
突然，一條銀製項鍊，從威米堤身上掉出，在彈跳幾下後，落在前方不遠處。小男孩睜大雙眼，忐忑不安的情緒全寫在臉上。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ2HpKzJsJ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI2jfBmtzl
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACtNpSdlNx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcCXFcisg
「這個…我…」小男孩想拿回項鍊，但底下猛獸凶狠，絕對是必死無疑。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BLYaU7ncV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFzhHJWEL
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gYKscY1Ka
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6To5weWzqh
「我想要回那條項鍊…」小男孩囁嚅地開口，手指顫抖地指向前方的光點，畢竟想拿回來簡直是天方夜譚。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1WVtIEcz
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0dVqkNW1
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60MkujyiUP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0BdJVwX9X
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQsUonKo4
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUV7HdddF8
就在小男孩垂頭喪氣時，風猛然睜開雙眼，想也不想地跳下猛獸群中。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mOhG8MbDz
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSxCqbZW9k
「啊－－」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRLBynYs5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOCmk6bTyB
這個舉動嚇壞了小男孩。他什麼都沒問，就這樣奮不顧身地跳下，況且彼此還是不認識的陌生人…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDT8aLvn77
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo55sT5NWzu
所有猛獸看見有人跳下來，各各是爭先恐後地張大嘴巴。牠們擁有獅子的外型，除了頭部，其餘全長滿了刺；擁有一尺長的獠牙，張大嘴巴時，足以吞食一個人。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8voHiCaa5M
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWkI4BZSfo
風拔起劍，雙手一握，筆直地刺穿猛獸的嘴巴，隨即左手壓住牠的頭部，輕盈俐落地翻身往後跳，接著右手順勢刺中旁邊猛獸的上顎。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM82ZzG6Lek
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqSzKvOZID
所有猛獸看到同伴倒下，全都壓低身體往後退，發出共鳴的低吼聲，看著風挺直著背脊，瀏海底下那雙凌厲的眼，散發出不可小覷的氣勢，誰也沒勇氣敢踏入他的領域。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUZP6LOSSh
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXYeZSe2M1
望著被嚇壞的猛獸，風明瞭牠們絕對是不會再出手，就大膽地邁步而出，往亮點的方向走去，所有猛獸見到，紛紛退到一旁，與風保持一段距離。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe5bRiQUjk
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1SCsd14Pf
走近亮點，風撿起項鍊，略看了一會。純銀的材質，外型比銀幣還要大上三、四倍，中央鑲嵌著藍寶石，周圍雕刻一些複雜的花紋。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NIzTUj2zd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2J0YkNanX
看到最後，風赫然驚覺，但立刻收起詫異的神情，將項鍊收起來。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivOLxB1w7q
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OMPT5CuKx
風環繞四周，找出逃離這裡的辦法，只是，除了高聳的石牆，就沒其他工具可利用，可見當初設計這座高牆時，就沒想過讓人有機會逃出去。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4WHIgyoq2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn86MqH0z3U
再度仔細觀察，這回，風注視到高牆上堆疊的石塊凹凸不平，利用這些特色，攀爬石塊而上。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIVqeRrwM
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB35JdMAFuV
才剛站好，小男孩就毫無預警地衝向前抱住風，顫抖的身軀，像是哭泣又像是害怕。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFolcR9PYB
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBl5r3fbZv
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO94BiuDGL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhyimg7gmy
被這麼擁抱，風有些愣住，看著他弱小的身軀，總算明白為何要幫助他，因為他們的遭遇是如此相像，也渴望被救。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpvbPZEID
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXyi9mLQhQ
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5nFyHCiMJ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Bwz5GGrf
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuRk3P5BP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwMDjwLYR
「沒關係。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJqmvxtr1
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4wQ81NcwD
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dHkpyS5NP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfckGfN3nf
一看到項鍊，小男孩激動地將項鍊收進懷裡，隨後眼神空洞，緩緩地說著，「當我還是襁褓中的嬰孩時，就被威米堤擄到這裡，並讓我由里特阿姨扶養。里特阿姨曾告訴我，這條項鍊原本是戴在我身上，但威米堤認為價值不凡就將項鍊拿走…所以這是我找尋親生父母的唯一信物。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi8Hycbbmv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCep3unuUh4
「原來如此。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2SImKquUY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryliub6zY
小男孩攤開手，看著手中的項鍊，喃喃地說著，「原本…我是想跟隨里特阿姨死去…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3zJnxfDp6
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgzHYSYbcC
小男孩閉上雙眼，仰天回憶著里特阿姨，她每次總是面帶笑容對他說話。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQlcMLA5Sy
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4cRdH8TWe
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSeeYkrIiC
不要替我難過了，每個人總有一天都會離開這個世界，如果我就這麼死掉，那也是我的盡頭…
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu39USY9HVY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1vr08pRrY
修司，我心愛的兒子，扶養你…我真的很幸福，我不希望你連自己的幸福都還沒得到，就這樣走到盡頭…
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqktdmpFtq
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4uhfz9YCS
你要好好的活著，要相信！越是有活下去的意念，奇蹟越會在你身上發生…
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFcAqForB
奇蹟…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzl75gelVh
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCWvk40Fxx
修司奮力睜開眼睛，抬頭望著風，他的髮色與里特阿姨有些相似，宛如溫柔照耀世界的太陽。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEeVdP9xkn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4Dui1lbf
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam31UEqdVg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9sisNxFg
望著所有骸骨，修司雙手緊握成拳，小聲地唸著，「里特阿姨，以及所有的同伴，我會連同你們的份一起活下去。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGYCZmazfI
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0egg2vAz
風雖然聽不見他在說什麼，不過從他眼神看得出，有著非比尋常的堅定意志。風微微地低著頭，讓瀏海遮住雙目，嘴角露出淡淡的笑容。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kZaI7j0XB
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAGtoJsfxQ
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJPXOk6FQN
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjMJv25mcB
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilokHczHHv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuzudpu1BF
「難道…」
