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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCyLtPkYpe

「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。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpUnfzGCVa
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUWkxdSHxb
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qlFACgSnS
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkexeOfRnz
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MDhRYYzb
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzCZ2q1HR9
「我好了，接下來呢？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdOMXwO6o6
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyErsSYv6h
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0KnA0yX5M
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY4UjME4rd
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQEtF0UjW
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklIN5EzlR8
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8DOWU2g8a
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lgSYf8rXC
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8kgmGYHgI
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fncdLFoF6
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YOqwPpqNi
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckZ2TYGSbG
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPJUoRRJRL
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsCbbN57S
「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？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxhfdBkLCH
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3tSjFh8F
「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……」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5D3tIVcGr
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTutr18kWzL
「他們…死了？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoQkm1p608
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMPS5WMIL
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt50uchk8u
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LQC2N1QpD
「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。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5D9dqhhJu
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC6qrJ7R4v
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NbwATb8Xs
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7UtsU6LPt
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNMG6a0K0V
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbDvnaYXg2
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls53PfzHGC
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEYOrokeU9
「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。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2eTul6UWi
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vBwVYEqIW
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrY8LIiLHy
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfdBtSpWjC
「啊！幹！」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gn3eZLlQh
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgqyhBF2ac
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvU1OyilrY
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNRxFULRU
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmlPy20a7
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZDlMoJBeI
「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。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcRyTUy0QH
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSia9BPuC1
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8WE4JAPX
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch477k0d48
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYCcWz0GE
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVU47ETgUO
「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？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwi3QkrDQq
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW89oFHyuR
「我要可是……」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0KvAhypC
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMid0UM8kL
「賽博，聽他的……」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EL1w1QQDa
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWENcHEArt
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkIftMzvnh
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yDiUw7pa0
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskAsG1nxW
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uh2hK1ztA
「……………」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvO8otgYxV
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB8nv28Fgx
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EwMtAijdm
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeopKutNYNf
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJbmIK9YZv
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoHvJbLF0z
老人瞇著眼看著我91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW3gozsdoe
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGK69zNQS
「我也不知道。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMP8kp1NUQ
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA985jGT5H
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4Kq52nIQ
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fNFH7JkuD
「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。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNvMJh6wKs
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNnDThBkOV
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg4cYZcZw1
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw8gNJTOFn
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnUZJfGfi
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZW4Pv285w
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuemV3BvhR
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv54JBmAIS
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZP5cHxwxp
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzOnQTpwPC
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91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3VScw8FWW
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdY9p0MIQf
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvasEAyqO
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCfFixvmFh
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
