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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9V3fChpn

「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。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0jk9VYeh3
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxBSUxPLNM
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYZtEMRqS
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHscY5jpc
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25z3vPTexu
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4Q6kvevu
「我好了，接下來呢？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOollutBGmw
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdyUFCin8
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhLSaZtXz3
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkOFP0yo8J
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3kxyLDsLx
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lLsGkIyt
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi4IbeLX2E
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLtUBWjpM2
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPsAZ5mur
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUEC0MJbLy
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZekx2AlEX
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBlhBZM3B
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuocWieo2IV
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheSZReBcqk
「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？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxA8ya6740
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRiC4gmQik
「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……」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHlnuHgKAJ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqEvZ6PZGE
「他們…死了？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUYXvCsmXa
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3mUfY3LI3
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxsYI6rn4a
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vHQtAMxYf
「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。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxZurlUB8v
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVe2Gjwm5n
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gq9cpy7tn
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhfAOjLzE8
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3T6B8ytm
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS0rBkAyCg
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnTT0t7nUF
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TbbX6JrhD
「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。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEJdW4Pve2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL75miue5e
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevKb6bcrfj
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZwONAmi5O
「啊！幹！」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZpiVHpL5b
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fg0Lp1VR4
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlSBKvidCB
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRc7B7KpNa
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdrz6vaxoG
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVgTWC6qU
「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。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7I7kbJP30
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvpavbAe7T
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rJPzqwqS2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOjqm55tGl
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBxlwvsp9
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxMp6Scyg
「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？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TrkGHx6QG
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Bpn6shKF
「我要可是……」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4sexULwPJ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUS5rpgUaf
「賽博，聽他的……」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEua11eC1bb
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GWRSWZqrJ
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1AiF2CNmO
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUY4HJW8YT
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzWPOgUU0s
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH05J7RKQH
「……………」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodBPyJrkkg
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0HamV0QS
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60QhlSHgGh
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexj56mNo7
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0xh6aA45
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP5SoXSsOy
老人瞇著眼看著我60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyTcWhnxzo
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrTxru5G1O
「我也不知道。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeXYVZpQ3q
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6u3XKvhZt
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3BdnkcZj
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jCDMkq1PN
「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。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezswzVOOHF
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQ7g0ADe9
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGlHthE64J
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOh7PFkHpO
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL9AgGV4QO
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhk1B5EvCF
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrtOxAZVy
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9BMdfnGj
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVfhbN6SV6
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8xvPasfW
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60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVkADTxqMY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNO23uj5KS
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pxr0hMsOv
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEIsixQO8u
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
