2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDDd2S1Yx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkwUBRGUpd
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5zhuJ8tV0
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHglidvpDU9
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG1w45Agp9
「……。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7USQVVZ7X
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dUuo1ubIg
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55v8qp43ie
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1lxoINjKx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERr9aCLCxF
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWuZxsB6q
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzKV3cr1m
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV85LNVUD8
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNXwtWz54E
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VYmZy1fjR
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1gzjoxCbK
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Iyy80CDK
「你是第一次參加？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw5gF2Y8WH
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqG1RzokT1
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdVj3TpPrI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IrvrCu4qg
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUMHFlOdMD
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KSUm6IG9
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJuUb6koMp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGPMeXylzf
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wGSfmjdZo
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIiecYLJEI
「今年又為什麼來？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6NVZUj2iR
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHW4AbzDk
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFFbeiNMMa
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxlQnqa3JN
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypseLoSGUp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqojhxXX2K
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXxIK4LxnP
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nWcFrf80K
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbUoQsaTz9
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo10Hr1qVhL
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bt03TuCJI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIK5iNZm4
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRNx4VrODH
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L4LCROZcc
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNPrJBSNk
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLfN18xZrI
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpGVeQXya
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq79D6dLV7
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2achwLoO50
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZjz2QsloH
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKmmFZTtum
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTHSqGIKNu
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9vZGfM8d
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOOto27FN9
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z2egQQx0b
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQrzLYr9t
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLa2ag18es
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULU6B2ZCQp
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDq4Mg36LL
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFq5A6m9Ck
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAhAaW4LfV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRHXSMtIP
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nxsxzV1Pi
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgn9Nh9yW3
「妳……！」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDR3rxAvz4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzzTrQwxMi
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTp51PQk7W
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKmMoK9ofo
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDjL8XYvm
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHICnSaNWak
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPPylKqv3E
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gtV5KQIvR
「你知道？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4C9ez6zRZ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4bSN0wpAU
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pzVPnb2Ik
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevx3T50U0r
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTMv3EdZRg
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeunc8zZfNk
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmYwAzbIc
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8dgNJ1ooH
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31yOf7vvXW
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPV8xrH2ro
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yS9YPCcwX
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnZ3etzjk
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IFXJmN3q1
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5N7d3mPhw
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE3KTftbqp
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqxNpiSGds
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh0qB3m2Kr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQf75Dwynh
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi81hyi7KL
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6lJR4uPq
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBurHbWccIW
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5R76cZ1SC
「時…時尚？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2BzvJfl8w
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8G4DH6ZID
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gT6UzQiSI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYolhN8uK0V
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnvgk8eWEF
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3FlZ2ifDY
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSEC2rLcNA
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mrdTIfHa2
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6zcQHAKG3
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrfcJtYaB
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvswOXjyDmt
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uvjoUqyAu
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Smj4xJgzg
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDZSVZqLrX
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7LLvmpXHq
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7GtdsMkl4
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hT3PuCHB
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEIFHpv6D
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnDKu2Shx
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gsp1UkZt
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB5SIXALC4
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO9h3oCafL
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6aPIYbUQj
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BhDkdV2ll
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbNbWkVhI
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtn2vZXlTU
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGYREdEIg8
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8PsRCPeu0
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkU0jZF6nM
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFrXgUead3
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZbGGfkP3
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3aD9zuhNy
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYuZXYBeOB
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nq7QnUNfA
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzE715N10a
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVFW2gIzto
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSSRct6AjD
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9DWzd6Vpp
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTF0I5o0RV
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRd5zS2e6y
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgA9toz1mT
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI936nusn13
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvfj2cnacL
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsnrY7OGhz
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBMZsObr0h
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b81adu2qE
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41IzNSsWn7
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgg4zLMlYc
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW3DpXrFlJ
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk43IV19G5
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NDeEZoqOy
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WUEOU2tCS
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlekIbMU7S
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhovowaVaIQ
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvECmCbyJCY
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzGhd8DLmy
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuORvjIHWll
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uv5h6X7pl
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScdbfYRYUR
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfpM1QYOHe
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHA8jwM6q
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpLYLCdaD3
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WnzxBb4J
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordmc1psq9
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LwYVTwiuG
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK8Qz3zI6T
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXsqBh26yE
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyuNDaItTm
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ914VnvAdp6
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6SHeUUDw
「……。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiaL7u0a5M
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGHSxsy9Ho
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JrP8a9VVF
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlfJxBI2r
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUBd7teqbf
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUT9EfB3kf
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHOrmCWhf
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzHQthHejU
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5awGrFiIr
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPI8pH6geG
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcmJP0xRFe
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHBtoYyy7F
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0hQLIYUF
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgJ0xrj8Z
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sdM9NmEhf
837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXnRzlLjf3
「里奧．懷特。」
