2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJHXkRb6V
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9SZJJAcHs
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhBiuzKtY
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQmRVdBSo
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS5eSiTa0
「……。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCfsjj0fUE
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasl4JgOB36
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wlxFktEN
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqTqg2p6WW
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TNf1cLdit
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYqPcbwGTQ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno77GbsKoa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM3pE2cPwN
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg7lV8CKxa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6O9Sgk3s1
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFAMyWONCI
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7eRwNQ1ex
「你是第一次參加？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q8fW3gJsp
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi39yxxByR
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmAJLV7yjR
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqjLLRKVa
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HcLj5MGAo
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hI0BiXbdB
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnAsHouwbD
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObv9E368Um
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUQGK2Ooar
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXMONdn3NT
「今年又為什麼來？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fUJrLgIAK
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWlKu2CQ8U
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfJC3xEqGF
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEZID8YANN
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIBpl0MMGJ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3G03BNp09
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTInRIEvY5
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4W7skSiV4
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsb6T1f2aV
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkCTUURGH
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EgAuI9NoJ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7c2rXoATV
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lxowuIPIq
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HNf5W7ELU
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCmjlEyei
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j1MgWYFlv
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz7xf3q8pA
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkcB9FROg
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHCd6Uh7Si
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDETb1pw2k
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOetkYYs0ii
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HAPJpQLXv
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFn1aS5dgp
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSSGdlCksx
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQt4l1L8y8
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsiYj4pSk
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x2785BYEX
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w9Ob095Xz
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYsCJMpokX
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuuNmGopdc
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5miFZBB2MD
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYqVCKmKJr
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLY8qyF4BO
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP9rBa9FzP
「妳……！」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpktyvc1XL
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmUQgxSAju
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPea7iGLfn
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhIHw0pXYA
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIC3onWDtU
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm6MhTgKVl
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYJzqdA2b
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmgVcFSJvj
「你知道？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9Vi1BN5H
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUUrJGGqM
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H4gJSbWhR
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPtng4yxg
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBdsrNWkkF
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAbvNqPpEy
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAE31Q0fMX
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6vv2bdwBx
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqDfNeXQEW
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11Aku7r94
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUndXLUdBZ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn9hURNuWe
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH4a9xNnRg
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIVpOBPJwn
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwn3N3pmIr
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIdzNnUI1y
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwnrTz631r
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9jogwTvCS
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwFjU2mteh
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QL4yCyNI4
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBi75ovF1f
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF3XFAUCEW
「時…時尚？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOfZd2D3vr
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfhELXZM1O
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk1jQi4BqZ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZgng9wJbv
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZrTP9S9zz
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrqOAaA9Jw
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjsQayP5B
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSOKCH4ees
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6E7qsjCxp
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThcFeQaa5A
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPNC7vCJh
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcSnr0O0Nf
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOGuNPDwZ5
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixEv0xSr3H
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGjuyP4CQX
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtBOP8mX0k
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ojrPMSTfA
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VU81dGW8
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxBwso8QpJ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtYhIQfi2
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwllBIUv8D
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT1zesR3Ef
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0uYCl4pn
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGgehtS8sr
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsYgGMdm63
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Y1yxJoyZ
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGla8ZkCCyj
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5fYbH2TAB
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R5yj3xMOs
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4C1ZsjxyD
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLdkmIIAdN
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK8KsPTlJj
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDzGzXQDcu
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphnBNO5eP
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyDq18Gwxm
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi50t3HoNA6
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIOq2YtvlI
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfIG9XhXD
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrolMvNZV6
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTscQoeXvv
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRoyaPcbX
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFylv5Wut41
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNP41ta2R1
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY71agMdPTh
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkenDmc5jo
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLwqz8LdA
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchpSLb74r7
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1WninxYWw
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6x2MiFuiY
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE8ER0rUhf
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl70ixQ5QE
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS0mc9LsCy
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJi3PuNyrr
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR8d8jZd5Z
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hZ7Gy1oTe
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3RkrDw7O
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4EqgF89Gy
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDo1WxbBK4
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vmzQpLn8Y
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhPJ5NHUIM
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KgxOePH41
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsXR3I5H7B
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TsCUFPH5X
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrNA7hjgyN
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIYpvhuK4l
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvmbfzg9u4
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxxr2OKzgV
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbPqAyknR
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtUV3OWML3
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUsydTvV7y
「……。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ckVqfDGm
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxOYfESpyF
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xNjtxTs3z
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe44csUqixS
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw304HiUf2
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNTqk769Sr
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTEkZMcfV
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrcK67DpDy
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IgFdjM05G
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0fts5EHyA
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YHijqSbOA
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdE2puUgQz
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6s7azZnOH
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOoiy0RqY
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseWxF1EK8p
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HxT1QsPnb
「里奧．懷特。」
