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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0CMZfcGPT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1czZLRPXQD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0tS3Z37ru
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFl9B7WoTt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSI6M9fyE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCAEHLJfsW
「把手上的劍丟掉！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1I8Jce2Bn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jLHS88Et
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wdO8A36Lk
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5XVodUfXh
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLGa1kUw74
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz8PBKmu8x
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5SqKzxt6q
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2pf1UGWcZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwnr6J5xxi
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFsqE2mAX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmmZQnX95
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgR6iLiGmQ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLBeuVOhOZ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pjhK8AZbM
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cMXGqiK6v
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCHYgM0nz4
現在到底該怎麼做才好…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dGTuaLPOL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsOrWpvzL
「放…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDAOCaX1BQ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxF8qB0Ji7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAC4DcREtU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zeR1kKL0h
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWmuHJjYr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMqH3eToSj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK5ny5ULuy
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPIMqNA37a
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMocfCIiEbL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0EP4Kupas
「你給我閉…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHleOgl6vA
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkXllkJVZB
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXV3JHcTLZ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2zOMSojYg
「我真的要動手了！」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DbUDotGd6
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaKaFB0pjR
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2P6sz36zs
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnZNqsGTkA
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ0a45vtbu
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg2KemUyDT
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8597ctd7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsilPsxSCXY
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkf11ybmuX
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnXNh8DLCn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreeuHgP7n3
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nUXjTOdZy
「痛…啊－－」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBxKeDnslt
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7aHg3oOE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYBBdMUYgs
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9z4fGu7O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9GIxaxSxi
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0A4Fxo4zu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ppjaisYp0
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknTmO8Cx6k
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyloDhX6YCV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBIpOaxCHk
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkeJtZbgBx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs9ZCKqIsw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWXM8OcY9
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWSfa8dXZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF2rmIUAiz
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHX8IZEiA1
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5DTUe8jH4
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzW5F7VNRz
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNERvKEw3wp
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEYxKpYT78
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdDQQtLyOy
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2WbWh1XeX
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOQXTC5dhp
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmRmnAasa
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrJKLeKIF
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6U5aShaQT
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwAGXriyU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtjkcE5XE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SnN2DLf4O
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9MSlYv6k7
「啊－－」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgToN2t5HCU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMBsPbARVZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREoapeXdoj
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLVD08L5BN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2PVotlrAS
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkbvwccNt6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKVSGirwD
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLt0YdMDnD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMXRt7HKOx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr3mhrnbtQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW4qF9Xl7i
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R0XnXf0Z1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwksp1gvMDE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyLLQU71NZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QM8TFmRlv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BwOUsycYF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIQo5FcpKr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dVUk787rp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98auCQdoiG
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkATtXDLP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ucrVN9Fd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JVbx8NdzE
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTOCBsfcYX
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPDwJyWPW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLFH2oSJXO
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdhUyAkKZG
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUFzymE1W
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd4cbMtx9U
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvIGlpi0en
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2uVJjTRqT
「沒關係。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xPxE4bkt8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA6rQiAIAd
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJf7XlDut5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJQRYholH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vVIHqr5UY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWhfrplLPC
「原來如此。」171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7CdnQqoo
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo1S3kYdgk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpTcciW1Pv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfEFnp2zub
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqYjo8ygUx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3gpCYZJwC
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58js3o3rlo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P0vWzq06C
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJRVbvAW4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqIpwjVYVg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsQIu9p9bR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4D7okrxCi
奇蹟…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBG7DFusn4
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHoTPYIBgN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggNxnSepSr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXgk2RI7gp
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4xwdkG6e
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgRvTEGFdU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqLIg7J5rW
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgn7AS5DdZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyl1Os1p3V
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7nny270fF
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57jXhNvCCu
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQvQSWoLI
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucE3o4b0OS
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoebTAETOq6
「難道…」
