這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AFtbWHAhx
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhQvmbmgpM
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcMUPNcAoP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV0xlO6Wzx
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3cuS5PUQW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQdtfAMYAY
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHvRjEpfYr
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77ebd5CbXd
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxWKSAUOy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4imBYKU6Cy
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOguXRrg3a
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXwjq9y4ed
尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8gwOBTalP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KzOJ8WkJR
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW62PzUcWOG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXPJkpKgl3
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirx6rM6FH3
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoaAQCnWkg
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDQUuVdaOt

距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj1FTgYSqV

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk4sLLRURJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyV0oG9Oxt
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJQrm7eWfI
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsIsWly8ce
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDbzP3mJj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN0MD2tuyz
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkMx084DK9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqab7mOiUD
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrbPVbKxUN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCYSw1DzKU
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTqVAHjMUY
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3unBLdImN
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHZRd3t23k
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb18ql7CoC
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5FWuWiWws
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9QKMwyhAY
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOB0U5lWuq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0X2SsZFcQ
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMlO4P2lo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2UxG2lbU4
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTPqls66oL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjNxVkB2GX
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKENXXQbKJe
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLwN9x6ggS
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9BxGMzVJM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX7Vxcq1HU
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpEiSw2q8k
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpjlFp1I2g
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBapBZdOw7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L1L3TAKzb
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk1aJKGNqu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mK81FhHB9
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZIrVzPoOa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3H9iKYc1F
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpLkqew5UQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICu4ritMcl
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaMZCiE38k
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZAUkU2Lq
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQYt3hjIWJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnafTKeVXyf
「唔嗚！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQG9lH6MZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nn0Xxw52R
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbawL4JT7IP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMqeddiC2Y
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyqd2z3Msi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VL0u8W1Wp
「依奴！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0AgvxFL9u
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJfgDrb5Hs
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIQasx27eR
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgxX1uBIWG
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwCydDHh7h
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz7VvOkrEW
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCE7j3IcB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpK4NUsepm
「依奴──」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd7XRVQKzZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBlyCBiICn
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqYRCqZOnM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc2qPpgAez
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sIlpfG4uZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBr7opMKu9
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBoy1aSlux
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLMVSkhOy
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPjlz1q1N8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4iktMuTIB
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtpzo3wayy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDlAXvPny5
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeaUNCAGKs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQApCUuCcRh
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDPEOnVXUQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKx2RYnHoq
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuDSSrk7Ih
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSk6kurWky
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqndi5lmv9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJClO7mLwk
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuqG3yXJHS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxKAeTvBpT
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ3gk5uNeo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aRzQ1j8f8
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSoHZDQ0Bb
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo4tk9CdGX
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhbOG8aWXo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8SauiN9OP
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy15Szgyx2W
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCjsjxHDQa
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGbHKjuCRj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsi7ZyBR5x
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtS87yiitN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpOf3zbXFE
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiUYyyLYo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqRupQ31cP
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSzFFNzmI0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60JPucxYTl
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyJqvhmwgn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWCX41ephA
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QCsYSwSS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqnqWTwxJ
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnzmBvjoBQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQr2jDI6DZ
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WSBf1TLtD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckXGM0Xw4
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC3BW8pPfP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTOsQ97ZlR
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xAyQl2PH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloufBeKQkf
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4vMen0Nih
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIza3lBiEEr
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWmjb86AO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhNI27qbj
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr76BumK3T
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMEwvbUxmp
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytf9Gpdh9P
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuBapZudr4
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeFSMqlPni
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe2ewRe5jt
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO6RYaYsqA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVhZBTwiuP
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B5pSrZ1cU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMzYgIkoj5
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjATLuZ28F
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LPsYdsHU1
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ9d3NpjMO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9eFXA2tM4
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3vWuqzIHH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZzE5tPspH
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh5aaFyy58
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfEC7kwZOm
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9FOW2bx4K
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qXh6vf1pT
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS94XMfpl2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ6QlSvYXF
「我早就習慣了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5My20w1muM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFxyEApd6P
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BoSSdN4da
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cTfj4vFzs
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov2fYpkcVe
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1c8TM2TqF
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ezUgAxGX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRMZuEna8t
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorqK9scwSA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tx6ntmIjf
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGvbyI6oUX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRxQxAfzqK
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZXbMsNq2g
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaqiIjGKBq
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSIXD99hv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOuf3IQPJ2
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJr8eaDA1q
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ceklqnzr
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ750zBMENAN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1kYnJTrb
「這裡是？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z22NDuyNf
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSQ9nApGJn
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7IdIyE8h
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR3UnmN5TJ
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9s7KzobM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoXO34XEu9
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xoGH3PvPg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4kgmdnPBA
依奴指了指身後的醫院：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSdfgEPxWA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw19jpaF2g
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k8kBMZ8tz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYQ7dVhLfg
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfwOI6VPFh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEHUxvNbFK
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHm3hG3r5D
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrmTce96Z
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOb12YvEsz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbrJpOegrH
「不可以嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2tahGCupX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXjBeELwP
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUtdh3eMyA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOBIDMh6pC
「把杯蓋給我。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYBPspAnBs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwea90svLI
「就讓我握一下吧。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmN77mLZQv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmAlXuU5Uy
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsyhhYBTU4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglHDd1PKVf
「依奴。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHET72Zk8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaweuTm4H3
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycOuCOELGV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7QNEADaQ
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyJjz4QlCv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoFyZkosA9
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PoCHopWu6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0N7tMyiyK
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk40GeVVLv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHMykhoPeZ
「溫度回來了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwcSsD5Qcm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMiLStayOE
「好了嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAe1mc66Dy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstPY6bf3xg
「再稍微這樣一下子。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWdAtCp33N
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSc313Nvpq
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRUGDBfs8N
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBgG7HuAAl
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb23s5QZlU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6PBaDv8AP
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0cjngCoS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t0LaY6l3c
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIDRshTz7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtPhQrfom
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yt7Ds7ZHa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuPHdppvE8
「喂。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTp2Cr2me2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOMWyDsCk
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lh8cy1mXZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCItySiM8
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdUpc7KKi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOUZ4wKiQU
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNyd0iWzFf

依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3csTTlI9R
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJELDiTcjAb
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmrJY6ilY

赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRZMNzy5qT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UxcuIDSnz

「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJEXzSIy4I

依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazmZiBM7JT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcUCF6RrS
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL7iW9LFcU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMeMEWZKe9
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJGNskHdJ

赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvb576bXHk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sRCPDpoR
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AxLwyoOBK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHWWA2toa
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnUx51GyCV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcklHaVeNa
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DdluP7FCS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXryTlnQI6
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGpDMI2KA4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y5GQesIaR

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ib74bM1HN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgwET7rqV3
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnrVhu6Zu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWye2MdPTjN
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgkp89tdyo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Gac5nAFm
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwLZunhONf
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvduKeuxKG
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7qnt0Mvy

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL62qM2j8hH
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnjVPciMCm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPLt2X3gGg
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d9MPhqDKP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HVZstrlmW
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8O2vkyHf2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY6kQLMvTJ

他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLksSlTlaT

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0W95GT19R
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKEXq1A2U

外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgX21YLC6K

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNUKvvjKom

能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhv8WD48Nn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTSt9d7RB4
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HCujr1SfN

「但是依奴……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7gqCLsvGb

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQjkFLV74
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sdxPBsSPX
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ovlsbFqU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGk3yTnIwu
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lR5ytgPcd
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptmCXOpNfn
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOVILyab7o
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyhB68eWu4
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUbX8xhB0O
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqpaF4upiv
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrpN7przao

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwjAtVKcBz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsvcqfPY8n
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR1JRoa4lL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVUdF4HLAi
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJsxPZRqim
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87HQNhXV2
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlwVp0zo6Y
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZVRjEoLjh
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu0Mhmpta3
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAF0o7AThG
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8geSxtiLNX

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EUddUCTCr
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBmhVHNTSN
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ulJSzyIjj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevZlBdayRk
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOeDPCpkcI
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2Rd8S8nh
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ110BYxsSsm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76A4dlj9UM
「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjxzFGYmDI
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY8zj846AP
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk51isH7f85
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnTLInS0VH
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT0WxcKbIp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qgmnGmLK6
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoEbHM72sy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaweGbnEs6
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDZLOFeBfh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDHuUGjbvx
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoBxQ1DdYj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJBBowTJ39
我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHUq5D9cQT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHDBmjKwyV
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWKH7vTFiY
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVUnJgKPd
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFkmeeMUdc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrcnGO43YG
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFhiQjMrG1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwXW8B8ah5
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Mc9tXF3p
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF1hcJuzqx
無數無辜的人死了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUZJDcU1P
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNvlExE6UJ
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJcJhMXhj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMgqZILLck
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGaE4kTXy8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJo1QzXWpp
過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEtuc1tdLB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeelhEjqtx
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEea0DouT0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqKViwvg5
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTO9w6T2RK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmPAwVZcf6
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCybtzNkI
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHLqT5JxPs
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnubaXnIAhz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuV5wFAaVr
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5QRq3KHxL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI2dGDDpyz
「也就是傭兵？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ947uZr09YS

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOw7etjzgn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiH61093fr
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXBSn6mLF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8OwfzMRf3
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYgSxdXl7c
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgchhp75yS9
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPooUuUxyXT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFclSo0Ti
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauRypQJ2Un
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgagVlhvuY
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRRksCxU6v
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvavQzXCi
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjdVOX05Bk

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakNpcSYngZ

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeQ3NunYeS

首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjXSIbAK5M
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFQ7sfbofQ
由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHho4DSam

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38spwexn5c
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVlSn7Sq3
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ziIVhTVX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ3nBJvaZL
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEglm9RR9u
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYwDdjVcuH
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWsB2j8NPY

「不……不行。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QlobkPJiK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcy7iA4VdK
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghS1GeA8Ez
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQW0E9ZaSy
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzd02c5wKz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8TnyBewo8
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzaimgL0m8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhBWhxPLc7
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKzjs6OPF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdcwgHLgbD
如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrwyHo8vZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHaOOc8Emu
那些聲音，那些死亡。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXK9ZdJVl

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiaq0FPEUg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfzHBPcga
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWM2mqQXzg

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8htJ6GUnz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u7ORB6Sme
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2saYewRb2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuCgt2XQFd
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo70OSRyXO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RwUIXSGHI
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyVQBq3KE7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcgk0Vvyud
這就是恐懼嗎？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpaZymauAh

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn870ZjZLFS
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3LfDej5KG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdUc1jhBv0
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxpfuKAZxw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp1zM8SmjO
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhXq54duz7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvzBlIoH6
她驚愕地抬起頭。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MGxLUSW72
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioHbUaIKoO
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerztQlfF24
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dhg4mUptW
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgayVdQf6Q
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iXhpKmQ9C
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnd5dlMrS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQOFi5yuD
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXHK2RwkP7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOwAonxWWB
「可是……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdwUl12wyJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK4XCvYhu6
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55GMjanYPB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDkSIOduc
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdGTmXmAZK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp89MmCHdAU
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7XUUPDDse
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoseGcFECrQ
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQswXSB67mU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj38JyEQazQ
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddtGdpKgG1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SKPp4vaH0
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYfAy7eM9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgS6Dr4tHP
「感受到了嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCirHl3BTHX

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IjNHvPgLm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmffRoIYx5d
所以，已經沒有問題了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbodaU6uahH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk83hF92G47
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzpqmAQW80
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0XaYUHuEI
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8vrMjklPT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG6oVE960M
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojBi6BUU9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopYZPaAqpj
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrJdS3YeeA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SH57zOHpO
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwvBW0B68
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0C8aL5ufw
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDomRYm04
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGoA2Lk9fR
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLZye0rrLr

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESRQtn00Lh

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRls7lXbi76
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQNUJopjhj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWndmRgCLH
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVc943E3fA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDfF8fVKhz
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzU9KRii1w
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8ptF0H6n
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJFfQnEhD0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmOoKo6LSu
「地獄——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzNKzGOnbo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQJFjWr2N
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLyOch6JgQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYLE21l23a
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG18qrRpce

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZr4g1MkWX

赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymCxmL3yS

「不可以，」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB26uVJ74B

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7svfFlsQK
