等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFXdU7oNR3

「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlA13do9lt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAkGn0mdbe
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLxKS45PEc
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLmzeumtq
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWccuarq9I
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDMXBGr43U
「我好了，接下來呢？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUCw9lsNZ0
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0WeBp2Bfl
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCfkJbYYVi
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHYnNYyFMX
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrawi4EfNdq
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwOUMBnV83
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiliy72ZkXP
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSECpGsPfQ
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9IhylIVyf
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXADNc4zi
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTsRxp443
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys2baNuPSv
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JhTeDh2I7
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0cBDm1RX
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLBpHjaqeK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrkOZqJlKP
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqgL1Ejvv
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LQPrbVhfX
「他們…死了？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkZtXwOrdY
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7b0DHJvXr
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3osOTBttlH
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBv3HUdy9N
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxzU0afiDQ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti130mu5sI
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBWt3PR80Z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5D46CAqZA
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIpfWzwyuC
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoxUgngjlz
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9UnRW84JJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7B6eubRTQ
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDKM2F16YJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7TgAaaOsS
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2goPYgRs2i
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkLrUAumbB
「啊！幹！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kkuuOEu62
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9G4XMt2Bm
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsKJHg8Nt7
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGTRo7ZYf
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoSBZZQkDT
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDwHeP2lq4
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jka9iwUZc
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFm5mnnE5E
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE613noekr
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrPEWlN0n
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fvmsZsoab
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCOCw6rb8
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBAv2PE173
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexPYhSmwOo
「我要可是……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxli4sK4Dy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZx3I5Fay2
「賽博，聽他的……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCAofI7Ejg
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s3JRoPP07
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4EqI9Cz46
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7wZH4xRgS
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0EANd6DUB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gga0S2D9b
「……………」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKYh3R36zX
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ul870DiFv
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAxNTPnS8y
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3yKPOFwr9
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs2gSwfy8z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVJvETi2cw
老人瞇著眼看著我61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZ6HiH0xx
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnQ7ptTbcO
「我也不知道。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1WESbJQAI
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG7yBY3mq4
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3T6OreOu0
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vDZz9BxSo
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKv4X7hbVJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYTkBusax
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuHtBzWiUA
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN0D6DZBUS
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiotmtGGSEn
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pQ773sWQ
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvL91KBKWF
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBdnpXBo5
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn80DcD0ox
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4kGFFQ7Oy
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEbI8bPX2W
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr6vWIg7NL
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch280iKOKx
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ403osDjMCo
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
