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！」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0ulmJHyQ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kLOYzRHXi
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CfT2NBn4E
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPQN2W2lxM
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhwB2WcKM4
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJE4Tvu8u
「把手上的劍丟掉！」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1owuZhOlK
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GiuTmEEP1
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNM9UmmtUP
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiSPFbeEd7
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8LuVDwIbd
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOv9W919Qe
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNMfGUOK8D
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw1LZV6ftr
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC3GaPgQIu
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf2WIZHZHK
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohjlFiuD1L
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruw1PAb5h
「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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQzn3RlEe
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBP9gGIsbv
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKCHOE5IlI
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHVaoUNbe
現在到底該怎麼做才好…147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7ET6DYCB
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVetlUkc2
「放…」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf6ThJCshr
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04jzj4u3SC
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。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQtsSxazv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRb4cdGlj
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ03FGZKC0J
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDziqICQPY4
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。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMeCON8FI
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2elJVnUhp
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabCPPM91aU
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFEfar29Lk
「你給我閉…」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj0BU6Wyz7
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4IdFKh5q2
「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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPczC40qGX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AXMVjCONH
「我真的要動手了！」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc31x2XjInD
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevWqLoP9U
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhfJYCsXV1
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkjlkBQXjA
「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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AaDYTDfJz
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7lWI1e5n
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45pGAhUHpV
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36nGIy1YTr
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxLmOdRiW8
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WylEYkAAb
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekw80Lbd7b
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcPheT6GSP
「痛…啊－－」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8XToNJ0u
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhU4PEJPG8
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi948e0Wus
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdNyZulhKS
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuX05ytpH5
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzilzRiqYXy
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSDzQ2S1y
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SgCQawoP9
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRKvjp7IZT
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKya9dPJ2Ku
「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。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5QB86Hwkp
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxRXJw9YXC
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f2rWPMKCb
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X0cyzmhWx
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO23RtW2gF9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8EO7YMOqb
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeRDlnKPgG
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3EqltoUaY
「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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UNcCMLNY3
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrZ6ZOUNa6
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUBiVJQXJM
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UvoR1sa5
「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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8ktGQuwV
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqPKyICUNa
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnTNAnxuXD
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2HfgI7Ql
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukGolxmyug
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLhUmEzXoS
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcQLZwTx5X
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC4R6yrK78
「啊－－」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRfusStJd
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdzPNg1THJ
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…147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzl47YNrn0
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKfgCI2Wm
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjDMLuYwoK
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo7vlLk3xE
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQfq0XM3Xv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqTLmf2Ztw
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMEAwDBQd4
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy7Syu3zTt
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvymgJV2HZ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLG49OYDKJ
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU79GkNUxQ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66fxtZPwku
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS7feMpjoi
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFtzg60WCC
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5sjmXdJy
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm2InH4Hqb
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy9tHyOj52
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKh9PDvzen
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ869gLOKGUi
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYTqKERjAZ
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kw2UZYlCp
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1kmXuDoiY
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG9AnmvS4Q
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolmmlVkdRI
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EKEF3eXr9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQummRaPzI
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NTkNYUwrp
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTYOPlDNHH
「沒關係。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQrEWwqUl
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomuPRaIH87
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmZZALNVd
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9mAhhZNc
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。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGgMfZDMT
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDjlryCjPE
「原來如此。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhComgHfed
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMbOQaL1VV
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…」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCIsfXUGHo
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW2GIiopNd
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6jOuaf4t
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPiCG13wP8
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvd5xBhLuy
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…
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSjjQwTH5D
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHr5eHZbhj
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…
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2fVcg25nD
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxxpPU5NKN
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…
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5LMEdhBrT
奇蹟…147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6znreNEgST
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGYcJuZLgZ
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHMyMXUgcU
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hn9py5a9
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkDO3OGpuS
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDSAvrJgoB
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。」147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcxm1lvF3S
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGR1zWwkDM
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。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tr89QFbs3
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOdY9ocEZY
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0PqO6NrF9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpOsQLaFa
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK9GtYQ7Qi
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxk8JiokO3
「難道…」
