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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCrePARcdU
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKqHfzahX2
「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。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpqTqvOkD
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqWz0AXFe
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmosE5E2xW
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdgPwxNCPW
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUJAwEnnk
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXujSYVYcJ
「我好了，接下來呢？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q2nfPDOjd
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4ek0wRBh
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGoDExTbQ
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXAZtUfhKK
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwOP5qfDiK
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ181bMXBXBd
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1o7sVPkN
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPGq11ZvV
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmMCrUz2sR
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxsVGZVtl
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp0kGGZKg8
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BpZ83L43A
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoEWvUVY6Z
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4yaARgSh9
「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？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJwTlQ6YB
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsCv7oSp6h
「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……」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cyz6kLgxD
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVzkRKiNZc
「他們…死了？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRlFyX15MS
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfOUns0y11
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQQED25ax
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHhoNCsYg
「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。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpp9yihTXx
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxrHV8ysgY
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQHs9c719v
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcZZIsjNNb
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNn1jLWMJJ
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxAd11Ss4U
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDsQIMGJCL
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9d8uoiNeW
「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。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGpTmByWl3
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDaqRGhidU
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrvA3s7NGN
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGEK7vhV40
「啊！幹！」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu22zVXQxz
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzf9m9BzR
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IXa7luOxu
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBweQ2iRVP
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMhDikveJu
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT6Vaa9VFu
「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。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6p68hOXVe
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7hYVrMVV4
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc8vMbiLYE
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM4jXvpeav
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7YCNJ3npt
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D1OMBohZh
「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？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhRqGGCtyH
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SUlGinMv5
「我要可是……」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfzsT8M1RT
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmawaIxx3S
「賽博，聽他的……」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqML5xwJlA5
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEoDOivdWq
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLQJlXPp7p
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwsjkOc2hV
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwMcCUaYC9
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOZ9JY84Ey
「……………」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPtd56z3Ft
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL645flUqSA
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RcVHEHJBP
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB4PdLAT7J
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1d6UdyrO1
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ca9WXZhNb
老人瞇著眼看著我88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEYGlUXCwG
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIv6UXbLfi
「我也不知道。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsR6NQ7wgc
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfGS4vO3LW
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZa3J1Na0T
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO7wlD8tjH
「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。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJLP8o347
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2udJ7wqcyc
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw1gOTlDRP
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvbiYNEQxn
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1UI47Zzbu
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcb3R1lwfB
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGG2qcAjqU
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2GPxFDq3
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbup9YuMX
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pXAqivmER
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88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeHX5BSGXd
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvw2PwWGL0
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0zngGfvI
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxMzKNsEv
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
