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！」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpikhC9N7Vl
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhyEiOJmTT
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarKIhZm19K
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWPOApbRF
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsv9OZGkT
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8iYuAbyiT
「把手上的劍丟掉！」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbyWMY9lgF
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVyD5Pv8g
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQSAhEE68
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjzDBlqZ0V
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ7aD9qv2y
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxkRh7RPVg
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45W1dVeo2
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04nkzLxLTe
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiSjRP9LNd
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq1SVZb1pB
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17vLVom4W1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1uHHJgyl5
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9dNKzGSkz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUYd2E96Ph
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhObv982Ub
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KQWAvRKg
現在到底該怎麼做才好…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQKT9GKsou
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvN8nUrdj9
「放…」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb1qlJe3q5
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07mZGWfyc
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJl5Z4kkd
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZCluccfFS
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCj7zfkL4S
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYw3bMrRJZ
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHToDRLqChL
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnP8ftxRne
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZdSHjWaO0
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrdlWiRxVx
「你給我閉…」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulB22hr8wv
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOcAtOvWdi
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7RLGdlRod
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHzx3VAvM
「我真的要動手了！」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUt6nNvuN
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwKdyI3pM
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS9FDOPPCz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbi714FZNe
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuz8qXXyDI
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAD2UOBSwO
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87JqHYRqe
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5FXv6BMt
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F2I7wkPiO
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZ3kre19m
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2CzXfBGQc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQMsjvysOs
「痛…啊－－」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jqk7njrZq
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XzKFNU1dB
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlImoG6otZd
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wIefWK7gU
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjgxX8Fqmu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiElUW8kb8G
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe35dBz5U5x
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LLRpbbN6a
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepJkt1xlpO
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae04HbLsbN
「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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NtrLdaaBc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvivYLF3Hw
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQDqSoAw7y
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlmN2PhQAs
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSv0dBBZvd
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cy7im4xvA
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nGD7f4RT8
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5aOjncL0
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizs3Zbcas7
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPEy6fT92u
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFBU1jfU2M
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz7Wdnpab4
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBwLSYRJDr
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM39mNE3DY
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhrUvmTG8K
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerJJ6N0yZl
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcLr2Ffblj
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilQ2z88gHY
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55FuleDXuu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2TabZ4D6I
「啊－－」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZLPXT0x6l
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z1ohCwnAo
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…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZ04t20K3
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD3mw9AoaM
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuw9TYlqwg
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4N2WGuNY
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCALZ28iG6z
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrAMd18JCi
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ddsx8A4W
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTacMVtjTV2
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZse7EcP6P4
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHgQkigwkS
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOIDa90Ppr
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8o9z18PUU
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw177xgS3FS
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLbnLmuH0z
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdcLimUsR0
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F4qR9lXa0
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eF5Xx9UEP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ni8iY5rp
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdpqCXAo9J
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZQxQCFtIN
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0bQEOGrBB
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWd5jkf8sW
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNJvSmdRqE
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimXdDP3An
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa34JWJiJM7
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKJfc7cEz2
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4t3xWFnE3
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpL6SY2iS6
「沒關係。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW3z2oOjq7
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GN4imhIxb
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZIfqojiw1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkKYK78emy
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7zSpg9fzt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MI3ObVRqZ
「原來如此。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLuHEymOf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHupdt269N
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…」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzWGnXiAAz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx08QUXrWuB
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwSxYc4NWY
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JbV00Psd2
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvG1I0Y4cB
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…
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Q5a34OVc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGbsCZ4MNK
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…
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu26mdXaeb7
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsyjwA2nP
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…
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M5kWLtH3U
奇蹟…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lwJlwyhPw
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH3UFgp1sW
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7wCAQudkc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0Aky6sAw
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXU8BMl3co
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij54AHbMIf
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC6EwtaOLl
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gyPdMUt9J
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxuZXgjrcu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsgBAFfLgt
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lXaf950k6
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqm0YFkE3g
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ttnkwwKVh
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eNctSDvSA
「難道…」
