翌日，少婦不畏山路辛勞地再次跋涉而下，卻沒有攜帶她重要而必要的藥箱，她只是為了看到──529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ60bs7xPK
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiejOR8oPy
為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HakabsZdI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZf1WnNnEY
穗作收割後所留下的田陌空地，似乎有什麼物體搖搖晃晃地伸展而出，將空氣攪成一團爛糊，定神一看，卻只是一陣風颺起。一片片的陰影在地面嬉鬧竄流，然而抬頭所見卻是秋高氣爽的天空……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbzSmBjLUf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSrjlXxeL4
有許多聲音在低笑說著她聽不懂的語言，也聽不見，只覺得震耳欲聾。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg4MqFhsr4
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExfxgnJtSy
小末所發現的『卵』再也沒有看見過，而她本人也無任何異常，只是偶爾會大呼小叫地瘋狂歡跳。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvR9qKzMKa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1LQbg46h9
這裡有許多東西，少婦強烈地感受到，卻也同等強烈地自認為是錯覺。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNYKAkLy0k
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs28VbGSwz
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhKfWxbrwF
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfw7M4toLO
自己已不再是過去的那個人了，所以，不應該再看到那種東西的。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqiVNneSUZ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpNPdEIGu
少婦強迫自己鎮定，終於，很快地這片山谷又恢復平日所熟悉的景象。她鬆了口氣，上前向村人問道：「小末呢？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6dj5BlUOB
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMeDoVgy97
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6VV4trqs
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8m8LGKINL
「……就…大作家的么子…」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF9f8GdrjL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIsmqTJNf2
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMLJtdLrg7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1skBfVTT2
村人的回答碎裂了支撐她思緒的細微意志，就這樣薄弱地摔落地面，把一切不屬於塵事的叫囂與陰影從地底喚醒，它們鑽入天際，歡樂地歌舞著。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAAu3kOJJu
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuk1TtZE4x
小末狂笑著從田埂的另一方跑了過來，繞了少婦一圈，又叫嘯著奔到另一頭去。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYN2HpRDj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GtZ7Ej6Ar
「那不就是小末嗎？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5lW8ah1BC
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQRKWy7QOk
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3wMV3EuIX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzBdPD6ecf
他們對於異象完全無所覺，順其自然地成了異象的一部份，只有自己……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF82bVoM8Np
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLj2PtL2VS
她潰敗地逃回山林。秋葉紛落、草木枯黃，山林內依舊祥靜如夢醒，即使回頭俯望底下的山谷，也只是普通的村落聚居，沒有任何不安。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjnINcacnN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWSuR4UM5b
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pE6bV1oZp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBIMNNkREd
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQjbCD0YB
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrQZtzBXov
現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO9uZCSnDx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFLrKj3bx8
然後，熟稔地開始檢選藥材，有些烹煮、有些磨成膏粉，她還得治療一隻受傷的大白貓呢。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUIdXejs9d
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjoRQjEo3
大白貓的男人在白天絕不出門，一到晚上便會鑽入暗林裡獵補山禽野獸。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ikwmCXfn
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8crpFeIEe
他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42wD1lpikP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7mawvjL7A
僅管那隻大白貓一雙血瞳是如何兇暴孤僻，最後還是得乖乖地在自己面前把一整帖苦藥給乖乖全數吞下，抱怨不得半聲。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsY9JtGxqP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgweRAk3B9U
少婦獨自沉靜地坐在幽暗的小屋內，耐心地等待爐燄慢慢將藥湯熬煮得濃燙，以及狩獵完回來得喝下這壺湯藥的大白貓。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlG9lHqomh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNUkaqenzz
隔了兩日之後，少婦再次背起藥箱走下山頭，然後，一如過往為村民治病與傾聽他們的交談。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ms7RUV6I
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkBsZfr69
沒有什麼異樣，也不再有魔物出現。甚至原本該注意小末的事都不復記憶。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD28GsEwYN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVtlQhG6c
入秋了，晚風開始吹得冰涼，而西落的日光也更是紅得耀眼，農收的男人皮膚被染出一層通紅。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuFEO3f5ry
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbk03BbfK1
穀子被堆在空地上曝塞，入夜前又得忙著收拾在穀缸內。女人們紛紛拿出禦寒的衣物來縫補，小孩子被吩咐要在臨近的林地收集好可以添火的枯枝。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJetzzNZQC
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cgzYvLxw3
少婦則拿出一些藥材分贈村人，加入烹煮的食物裡食用能抵禦冬冷的寒氣。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM8vWrIXAa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3f2zFzPVU
為了明日的存活與生計又再不停地忙錄著，這是身為人類在大地上極其自然的行為。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0YvAy7RE3
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XcRTadNer
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGa7viVMMd
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1tC7czSvD
走在山路上，少婦忽然有些依依不捨地回頭，並不怎麼稀奇的天空與雲、與山、與谷、與溪、以及那不起眼的普通村落，都讓人產生矇矓的眷戀。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWmhcMSP5E
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG52i18iCi
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjV8Gxq3JY
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68sNKvjxJW
別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYACJVquCZG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqikp8uRVc
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f1gtdNZ0s
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHSkJgwkzI
「怎麼了？妳要忘了我嗎？」快要被遺忘的臉孔，拖著綿長的身體乘風而來，她模仿著輕風的溫柔，用眾多手臂裡最前端的一雙取下了少婦的帽紗，「妳正在呼喚著黑闇喔……」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0HHrIXBeL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZAwkRD80h
少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNYrXFULIf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7LipmxIYy
一直藏匿的臉孔被揭了開來，她的面容一如多年以前姣好而年輕，即使歲月與人事在眼神裡添加了風霜，也只被深藏於黑瞳深處……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qxonFlmfI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfFpP28hDa
那個曾經是被小末所發現的『卵』、被少婦所喚作『神』的魔物，像是滿意少婦的臉孔而吃吃地天真笑起，「小末的靈魂應該很鮮美吧，對不對？…不過那個沒有辦法拿走，所以…妳的給我……」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFs4nEoTg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmOnZBHH3Y
秋風掃起了滿山紅黃枯葉，也捲起了塵埃，優雅得如同日常一般。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPfWynPCzZ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWGVxrfy0E
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ma4jK63x

「…櫻姬…」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYxvbOi2WG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5MyrLfECT
當神魔喚出自己的真名時，陳封的記憶也將被打散，如同落葉般地漫天紛飛……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofY3B9HaTI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB4MhT0Czk
不知在何處的小末，帶著滿足的笑容蜷曲身體，無數隻蟲蛆忙碌地在她身旁蠕動吐絲、用繭做成了與世隔絕的球殼，於是小末就在殼裡逐漸回溯到她還是小嬰兒的年紀，從腳尖開始一點一滴地退化縮小，成了吐絲造繭的蟲蛆形態，當她完全消失時，薄殼破裂開來，腐土伸出一雙死槁但充滿母愛的手指，把它帶回地底。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc9hz10tpv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JIcWh6PrF
……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvtFdoXjsU
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkbctb3Fe5
無數蟲蛆辛勤地鑽入山道鬆軟土壤，沿路栽植出比花瓣斑斕的彩蛹，它們像是葉片一樣舒捲開來，從中伸出了數支芽臂，頂端密集的頭顱們齊聲地唱著似曾相似的歌謠。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfrP6z87G
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G0aGqrA4N
拖曳著贅長羽毛、與葉片同樣嬌小的鳥兒在芽臂與葉片間輕靈地鑽竄，長在鳥腹上以翼作手的小人用爪子抓起唱歌的頭顱飛翔，於是每一顆頭顱都開始尋求自己的軀體，在落到地面時都具有各自喜歡的模樣，骨肉血脈尋求自由地掙脫既定的形體拘束，像是飛禽也像走獸、同時是飛禽走獸都不會有的形態。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpESXFLQeL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vDJBaHC6j
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQRE126Oa4
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSHRQNRiB
整座樹林也是有著自由意志的活物，正愉快地向上伸展枝椏，佔據了整片蒼穹。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dmk3aBQhO
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPxByfjwCN
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNQQVCX1b
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz44GG5ix9
片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVHDZZ4coD

這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ6Zb4xB0k
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG3Q2hE7MT
就在這裡沉睡吧，陷入深深的睡眠，連夢境都無法叨擾。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQa4IXRX76
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zlbwGhrCH
……永不清醒……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl5cdflsTV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPr9BMJ9Ud
只要在自己的小屋內，靜靜地等著爐火熬藥，心裡就會安心。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmayGDQgP1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E0ncXdat6
苦蘿根、芍香等易生常見的藥用植物，由毒蛇糞土裡生長的劍藤才真正具有解毒功能，而難以栽種的七葉蘭在此地從六葉甚至九葉都有，麻雀花是人畜皆懼的毒物，卻也是治療絕症的極效品……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eOFzoMiVl
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8aX4PBcV2
一個又一個地細數著所有的藥材，終於連自己心底的喧噪聲音也不再聽聞。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYtunnB5AR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JFlGXpwBd
其餘事物都毫無義意。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FWWg09Ztm
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUZkwlUlYr
但是受傷的大白貓卻撬開門扉，他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW2uPShPoQ

大白貓敏捷而有力的爪子撕裂魔物們攀上櫻姬的觸手，魔物們不怒反笑地顫動著，他只得用比任何魔物更加血腥的赤瞳來斥退祂們。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlow9rcyKTj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tGqel3eLG
野獸般的哮吼刺耳刮骨，黑暗世界變得既破碎又褪色，魔物們大笑，像是妥協地讓出光影與時間，而後鼠竄地一哄而散。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEIiQox0ZR
