球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fc0UgzRSr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzGxamDmgD
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽，只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐，為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s84fFP0G0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9VDPgje3z
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbQGaTUqQT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvxTNjyjb
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJkz1F3uc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdP1YYNDj
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZky3Kec7VW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4aoee5KpK
雪白建材散發莊嚴，三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外，看到人們手牽手走進設施，幸福地笑著。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbel3t83Kh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkWbZA3Ff
「都是老人？」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察，突然，朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkt7eAUlrL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyIeRMZVzS
不用害怕，不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來，出生就知道這天會來。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP9myc6qqU
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpug9CdhAzA
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGoV9dyGx
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句，用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目，早就被完美音頻觸動內心。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXstac6m6ST
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvpR52EzJQ
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑，不像其他圓頂同胞。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NSJQxedhP
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuzYLZ8P7
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ497ApAsW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzCM9ITJ1G
車輛遠離人群，嘉娜莉坐起身來，「那種景象，我在資料庫看過，『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1frLhvSTc6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0seI49C8o
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9QQrROIxs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9heZtQMx7
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳，嘲笑少年的無知，「沒什麼好擔心，我們有機體，還有幫手。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjZ8CltxVX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXhn31MIB
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF0SioEFVE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXSo7Cj9Ab
機械語音傳出儀錶板，眾人還在疑惑時，車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上，隔絕了外界的光線。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVSkDPRrAn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdtjRrpFc
「還有人跟你一夥？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZN9IliGts
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAdkkEQrnp
引擎熄滅，齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動，舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件，還有複雜管線四處攀附。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiDg9Jnldk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSowpwGL6cg
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近，一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小，兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WWyanbI4f
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2MPb4NU2Z
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Ijz5NviW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvaxJtsPCK
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子，拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友，「我們的求救訊號真的有用，帶大家了解一下狀況吧！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7HDVzFfXu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhLJt9ZdaP
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛，跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu55hawcXs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwheG5RmZJf
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0i87llVAb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEK8WT3BOJ
「L2，圓頂到底是什麼地方？」齊波移開沉重零件，找到空間坐下，「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxLbLfJu6z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPlQlkTiw
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfu4YrLPD9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc27m0Q5Xkg
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFEDGMBhT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlzK6gt5qK
「我稱之為：人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到，所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUSgOJ3t32
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxS3M8PKJa
「對，好像沒有那個東西，就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfy9BQDHBU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Xvf1Ssd5
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭，電子雙眼看來有點自責。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz61ax46c3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWrqIv2YV
「為每一位居民客製化，藉由基因資訊與數據學習，把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRm2vKLx4O
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CWkfwrhNB
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制，更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收，塔格率先打破沉默。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxalTfkFN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKTfp6z2rb
「父母由電腦湊合，出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前，睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡，全都要看占卜決定，而且我還甘之如飴……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV0QY52Ud0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYHCBDH32R
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CngebYAPX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh3f33hRZn
「對，我們什麼時候死亡，也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間，那就是他的餘命。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfKgT4gvJG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeotVcCjNv7
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoNIuflxf
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk7jkjhBVk
「自由？我不清楚那是什麼，」塔格轉身打開暗門，波紋的倒影映照在牆上，「我反抗的原因，都在這裡……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq2L7Nseyn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRqodIDNW7
長方體水缸佔據暗房，強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體，一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣，在裡面載浮載沉。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqZEkhC0SU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xrDIwOvK
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線，輕聲走向水缸，當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時，那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlsGo6OYeK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49km0gM4Fv
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KFFxV28Ls
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL2pIqw92n
齊波看著水中雙眸，感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩，對水缸比出向上的手勢。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHwtriQ1zS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0Z55S9Ei
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsKDxf7me6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAgIXoVtO6
孩童浮出水面，露出興奮笑容，「對不起，我一天只能離開一小時，明天再跟大家握手。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fjqNzOt1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ747CKbKHyi
「保持體力，很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手，隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7uHwGxVi
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO69vOh4VxD
「這位孩子也是實驗產物，基因缺陷，造成內臟骨質脆弱，無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20ujp3jCgK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfDe4Vs2h
房門關上，L2補充說明，「但是，溫柔的塔格找到我，我找到方法駭入系統，隱藏他們的資料，也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqrljAG73
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3JoBtViM
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環，上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後，艾卡的生命就會終止。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6r8zeuzDa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuWcef5V14
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望，我需要你們的幫助，你們是從宇宙來的，沒錯吧？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4hFJ1H8Te
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYoTuPgXjK
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果，是他學到的教訓，「艦長……您覺得呢？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97QVLub60u
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUDR8IWyif
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人，要怎麼奪回船艦？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lMV1J6pdo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmQONKX78V
「哈！我們等這麼久了，當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部，在天花板上照出圓頂地圖，「交通路線塔格很熟，問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制，必須進入核心主機才能干預。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2GOqxbxEM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSp67p3Ddt
地圖顯示，圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物，俯瞰著整座城市。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0YQda0cV7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuzgLdoO7e
「核心就在那裡，要先搶回太空船才能上去，」塔格接著說，「改寫系統，關閉無人機，我們就可以安全到宇宙。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4LIHPhKK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnod6XrxkG
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去？」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺，「不能從這裡直接修改系統？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0KolXqLwC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQNre78aUQ
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙，交給努那駕駛員。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAM78RCJTE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBMMRxZN2C
「這是……飛輪球賽？」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說：「真不像這裡的風格。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC2wrQ7tky
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGFoe2H7h
「沒錯！五天後，就是一年一度的競技典禮，這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件！」L2晃動金屬爪子，做出跑步姿勢。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx5fyh1ZvG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nzv2jGwZD
「朵魅發現，人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』，腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽，占卜系統不會介入，什麼事都有可能發生，所以，朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2oOTZbKR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb3XCYT6vU
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO46SPMhqyr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs4Bd7gBk5
「不用贏，」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理，「只要轉移注意力，把衛兵都引開領航者號！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipCAo2lH0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZwRNlUyQu
「正確，我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽，超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額，要登錄誰呢？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXBXb4zKmn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMQnmeKFb8
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobITPoFojs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLeZteMyca
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh32FwfVb9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp9Kv8tze1
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBUNj64k6G
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa6bEmlbno
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員，」艾嘉恢復了一些信心，「L2，進入系統之後，能幫我找到特定居住者嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g5BFSBT9B
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvEGaWmpgf
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamw54NWUNc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk45DgQ9W0
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥，輕拍雙頰打起精神，「五天後奪回領航者號，解放圓頂同胞，然後，上宇宙面對D。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBgoIZ8gFQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbLT5XczOT
「把手疊在我的上面，這是古代的激勵方法！」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手，「我們做得到！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY3fxE2vo0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoQCdp8ImU
「我白天要照常工作，艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意，高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiHsST6I9v
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvoVsFvPLo
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEUjqAVJC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7F2D3UK6
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCbN8AmaDh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYnVegIKMD
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQGQ3FnXux
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Ehj7tzMM
「我們做得到。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdsKAoehu7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtKl2Vt0n7
五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
