：別被外表給欺騙了
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqPZXoQDEK
「發生什麼事了！」哈吉爾一聽見湯花急切的叫，不顧二郎還在更衣室內大喊著叫他回來，直直衝進泡湯區。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzrvkTUqI4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6oOZ77zr
憑著聲音衝破霧氣來到淋浴區，哈吉爾低頭，深怕看到不該看的東西只敢盯著地面，卻看到趴在地面的和梨，不禁睜大了眼。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ChM6xkFx8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRMZiepmF
「和——」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH7ISrljUU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05aHA8HnaF
「你來得正好。」湯花指著泛著漣漪的池子那頭，「和梨是被那隻怪物傷成這樣的，你去看一下。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFYbxM5Jmb
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ0mAxMAnD
起初看到光著身子的和梨時內心還閃過片刻的羞澀，哈吉爾隨即注意到她身上不規則的瘀青及傷口，心情轉為擔心，然而在聽到湯花的話語後，他內心便是一把火衝上來。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwIMD2kVs1
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt9q8qaN0Q
即使毫不猶豫地將腳尖轉向了，他仍不忘確認，「妳有看到怪物長怎樣嗎？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JxkWTcDlI
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DaCjkNiWO
「本體在水裡，我沒看到，只有看到透明觸手縮回去了。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43wygrBJwS
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPjQkXRTw
接著便是一陣無人開口的寂靜，哈吉爾遲遲沒有過去，似乎是在思考著什麼，畢竟貿然行動可是討罰怪物時的大忌。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKo7n55IM7
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXbW16K5lB
直到二郎從更衣室裡追出來才打破現場的沉默。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyWYrEmgqV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUXD0ng0Ej
「怎麼回事？」他把剛才費了數十秒才找到的乾淨浴巾扔給湯花，後者立刻將其鋪蓋在和梨身上，「池子裡有怪物。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgJ5ZPCS3Z
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0RlkulyV
二郎認識的怪物種類並不多，水中生物就更少了，他只能聯想到不久前在河裡遭遇到的怪物。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6W0LyJ9Tw
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mM2VpPm8D
一不注意就會奪取同伴性命的怪物。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfBzDknAcu
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHWl2R5UyQ
腰際的兩把武士刀在衝刺的步伐間碰撞著，哈吉爾聽見身後開始了疾速腳步聲，當陣風從身旁越過，他一把拉住對方，「二郎你等一下！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7EBJvPVfo
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDonBhpm1
「妳先帶著和梨離開這裡。」哈吉爾先是轉頭對著湯花喊道，見對方搭著和梨的肩踉蹌離開，他這才鬆開手對二郎解釋，「你不知道是什麼怪物吧？貿然過去太危險了。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCHJq4H8O
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XUwZFPFGY
「難道要在這裡等牠自己上岸嗎？」二郎左手將刀鞘握得更緊些。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvsfsmQ8g7
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hjtpOHXHV
「我大概有點頭緒，你能幫我個忙嗎？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP1x9lhtlF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YDarzKRmd
說是幫忙，倒不如說是什麼都不要幫。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fsCHEgGP
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhV45Ujkka
這就是哈吉爾的要求——提輕腳步到池子邊待命，什麼事都不要做，等他下一步指示。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKH0vAnzpK
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaujPjFbQj
二郎有些不情願的在池邊等候著，他看得出來水裡有個巨大影子，但溫泉水並非清澈透明、加上空氣中的霧氣濃厚，他仍舊看不清怪物的樣貌。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfcrUSuoSe
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJiPvPi8N
從影子的輪廓來看，至少這次的怪物比迷加歐烏的體積小多了，剛才一聽到怪物在水裡而繃緊的神經這才鬆懈下來。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eRf9d9dMc
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfQOX4GKq
至於哈吉爾，他持續盯著池子不敢大意，身子慢慢退到淋浴區，向後伸手隨意打開了蓮蓬頭，水聲嘩啦嘩啦冒出，令遠處的二郎一頭霧水。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw6IHPK3jp
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvlHkjPAxh
「嗚嗚……嗚嗚嗚嗚……」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqVbY8eJQ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGU6TqTKB3
果然！哈吉爾眯眼，他的猜測似乎沒錯。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QstVAZQMO
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZQsDLpSgc
看二郎聽見哭聲差點要問些什麼，哈吉爾立刻在嘴前比出食指要他安靜。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTXzR8P2IQ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0smwcBcXa
「嗚嗚……」哭聲持續著，迴盪在整個池畔，越來越大聲、越來越清晰。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJ8ss6k87
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCT9hzFd2
過不了多久，兩個人都看見水中浮出許多泡泡，一個小女孩跟著浮出水面，她的背朝上，整個臉浸在水裡載浮載沉，根本與屍體無異。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZR0s3JWg8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPox5sxvrj
臉都泡在水裡了，哭聲打哪來的啊。二郎克制住出聲吐槽的慾望，遵從指示安靜在一旁看著。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKWZAO6BOY
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJLZL2ozj
「二郎！這傢伙是初階的魚型怪物，只敢在人落單的時候行動，牠現在以為只有我一個人在這裡！」哈吉爾喊道：「那個小女孩是牠身體的一部分，是誘餌，碰到的話應該會被電到！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceuR1pPUe4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoI67wSJY7
那我要怎麼做？二郎聳肩並將兩掌朝上邊搖頭，他的刀肯定會導電的。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFoxxU2LE
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ5una7loW
哈吉爾迅速環視四周，雖然白霧茫茫視野狹窄，他還是隱約能看到大致上的室內結構。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJKyTiuRv8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5CYufwZh
「有了。」他指向角落一個圓形池區，那裡有一尊比人還要大的魚型石像坐鎮，滾燙泉水正從魚嘴巴不斷流出，「你砍得斷它嗎？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXdpFXAHf
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4ECM48aT
二郎頭搖得可快了。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8IWGsFPZ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbrnFCiRa8
要他砍竹或砍再硬的怪物都行，畢竟他總能從較脆弱的關節處下手，但要他砍一尊巨大石像？他的手可能會先斷掉。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZd4NQjeZF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRpGcW9Th
「不要緊，我會輔助你！總之只要把石像扔到水裡，怪物受到驚嚇應該就會衝出水面了！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTovMPIxcXS
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPeLMO2bP
在哈吉爾解釋的同時，哭泣聲依然持續著，「嗚嗚嗚……」或許是怪物感到困惑，牠假扮成小女孩的誘餌從水裡滑動，慢慢飄向哈吉爾的方位。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQA4AL5oFc
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPIajOkZgD
還能有什麼辦法？二郎根本不認得這怪物，如果哈吉爾不在的話他應該會直接跳進水裡把怪物給斬了。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13uCtBDBio
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOtzDEWAr
他就只是晚個幾秒從更衣室裡衝出來，就看到受傷的伙伴，連怪物本體的模樣都沒見到，那他也只能夠聽哈吉爾的了。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlRK40CyO8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU6kHU4wGg
二郎只好認命點點頭架好準備姿勢，哈吉爾也同時聚精會神地把魔力集中在二郎的刀鋒。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IsqHyJVw
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSChkRdfzos
淺藍與深藍的光暈交錯環繞在刀身，斬擊的瞬間，石像彷彿被藍色雷射光從中剖半。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDBtKbM9xm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBXxPM7u28
有哈吉爾魔法加持的攻擊有股說不上來的輕盈感，二郎不知道如何形容這種感覺，這跟他自己施魔法時截然不同。但時間不容許他慢慢感受這一切，石像順著斜切面滑落，二郎伸腳一踹將笨重的石塊踢入池中。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4aNpd6Uy5
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFO8MxTKh3
撲通——！水池濺起三尺高的巨大水花。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2AMCYGUbo
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjZr7GSNab
就像翹翹板一樣，這邊石子一落進，另一頭就有個什麼跟著水花嘣了出來。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aShufo6zF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B7usqtK27
那是一條長著兩腳的魚，大概像隻大型犬那麼大，頭頂上釣竿繫著的小女孩誘餌此時縮了水，成了個手掌大皺巴巴的巫毒娃娃。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczURwJKQRS
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckpeEi6wsb
「二郎，趁現在！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8eUUwZzL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEfFWqtRUy
隨著橫向銀光劃過的是一道斬開空氣的短音，濃稠的血噴濺四周地面，甚至一些紅色在水裡擴散。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqoWHSNFt
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M6jE3PAyr
魚怪受了傷，牠發出淒厲尖叫的血盆大口長著兩根尖銳獠牙，兩腳像青蛙般長著蹼，土綠色的鱗片並不討喜，跟牠的醜陋長相一樣。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGr1BCFJR6
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUbE5ZmD7z
那聲音過於尖銳，兩人一時半刻甚至無法動彈。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA84QdU4jL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dRf8WD9T4
隨著魚怪物的尖叫聲擴張，牠頭頂釣著的誘餌小女孩再度膨脹成一般孩童的大小之後，如蜥蜴斷尾一樣連接的觸手從中切斷，留下一個逼真的假人墊後。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH00fWKfMa
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42toAtEVoj
通往更衣室的門沒有關上，眼看魚怪物就要逃走了，哈吉爾單手朝前一揮，毛玻璃門立刻拉上。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh8iFBL5bc
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysUPrQWc4U
哐啷！！！359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuijs0KCPI
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmvTy7hAGi
一點用也沒有，怪物衝破門讓玻璃碎了滿地，留下一滴又一滴的血痕在地上。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUe1WyodkA
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQEJFiXak
「呀———————！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkaZvqpeIM
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZHIxVVFrz
女性尖叫聲從破裂的門內傳來，二郎與哈吉爾這時從方才的聲波攻擊中解放，追了上去。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUHOgyw7x
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJL7qyJDUH
沿著血跡，穿越女更衣室來到大廳，那一坨又一坨的稠狀液體連接到了大門，而大門一樣被撞破了大洞，不規則的洞口邊緣一樣沾滿血跡。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjjlcyeBYj
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek8jM5ZSW9
牠逃走了。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JqLgG7NNR
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOtVgAl0G
「你們明明有兩個人，為什麼還讓牠逃了？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVVFIV0yzX
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgok1jqcGN
責備的話語從不遠處傳來，二郎不禁瞪大了眼，「妳說什麼？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9jf9ECGkl
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bCaTHJgAJ
當他轉過身發現湯花就站在牆邊，身上沒有一絲戰鬥過的痕跡，內心是一把火燒了起來。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57mtQ7dLaI
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bZ1oOhOHF
身處大廳的湯花只發出稍早前的一聲驚聲尖叫，就任由怪物逃走了。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNjoVLPJHQ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqZzRd8zf8
「對對對！我們是讓牠逃走了沒錯，那妳看到怪物衝過去怎麼不試著去攔一下！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST8AilSigt
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sUXMorJG2
二郎怒吼著準備繼續嗆聲，哈吉爾從身旁衝到牆角的舉動卻打斷了他，「和梨！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gzwK12ccx
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7I3CoU5FT
「外傷我等等幫妳處理，有沒有哪個部位特別痛的？妳能說話嗎？」哈吉爾眼珠子迅速掃視傷者從頭到腳每一個部位，聽來穩重的嗓音帶點不明顯的顫抖。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8L44oBoxV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ghhs5ikx
當這畫面入了眼，二郎也沒什麼心情跟湯花吵下去了，更何況……359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IIIqqxx2s
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB0UWadMak
和梨被帶到牆角看似大廳內最安全的位置坐著休息，衣服也已經穿上了——湯花剛才忙著照顧她。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0CwfcY5DM
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6FZPocpef
就算本人個性再怎麼討人厭，這都是事實。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9IgpppWm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtJJYEkAqV
和梨沒有開口回答哈吉爾，只是一臉鬱悶地搖搖頭，不過大家還是鬆了口氣。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSfFBUIK8x
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4oeYP3Vl3
「那怪物怎麼辦？要追嗎？」二郎問，「把和梨傷成這樣的怪物出去在大街上跑不太妙吧？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCk5rEcaU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O77R9YLhy
「這一帶很多冒險者會專程來泡湯放鬆，讓他們處理就好。」湯花直盯著被破壞殆盡的兩扇門與沿路血漬，不免大嘆氣，「我還需要你們留下來幫我善後。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvPFLzzTS9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCekCyFh5i
「憑什麼啊！我們根本連溫泉都還沒泡到！」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbSWFTLtwJ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IVX7s3Ncg
「我會退錢給你們，這樣可以了吧？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XKJSzctVl
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ5u5dMJyM
這顯然已經不是錢不錢的問題了，湯花的態度就是會讓人不自覺咬牙，二郎根本就不想再待在這裡。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR5Sj4AtqV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1oT8QCL4u
「哈吉爾你留下來照顧和梨，我去追怪物。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CCUy1IfFC
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQX2HyDZMR
「二郎，抱歉，這次我也贊同不用追。」微皺的眉頭配上淺笑，哈吉爾的表情有些無奈，「那個怪物等級非常低，離開水面基本上活不了太久的。」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSTEiYNEfa
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKCrV41d7A
「等級很低？」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK51SeOhOX
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz908myeh4w
這下換二郎皺眉了，疑惑目光頓時投射到滿是傷痕的和梨身上，只見她注意到視線後身體抖了一下。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtmdtHWGr5
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42bijf7ZAc
臉上原本的憂鬱再加三分，最後她直接把臉埋進白色浴巾裡頭。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLZRmg85eR
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pJb836ct
「對啦！我就是弱到爆啦！這身傷全是我自己在逃跑的時候滑倒摔的啦！嗚……」359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ZaNhgSu7
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4CuwWfDTn
手臂、手肘、膝蓋、腳踝與腳趾，那些擦傷與瘀青確實是人跌倒時會受傷的部位，而且池區地滑，外加地面磚塊是有突起小顆粒的材質。359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI49AmNkqo9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zK8bJSC9
其他三人頓時說不出任何話，場面一度尷尬。
