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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4WQ6Atw60
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAY9bJJJX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUe67wjyae
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1TvjunxUk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzpQHRckG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkd1biq6H5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8OjtjEqt
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwF7hLzXiE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nA7LxfF4X
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IvdPjKsM3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqYzQJXJar
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBhkndTZk9
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbuCt6g2d8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBVDJlP4RV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD3Spr4q6l
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR2BndP3bB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNNBxZ5KW0
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5leDTdNpcd
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQvxGNZpZX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvel34SQt1
「……就…大作家的么子…」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLNejcfCFz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkO7HUG7HX
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUrgJqTXqd
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD08cbP36Aq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4kKnmgsmA
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UMEcdFtmY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFnBVibDH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xBO8JiOKM
「那不就是小末嗎？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f5fXNvgrz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuwM2fnBrg
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jemjRCDM9
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBvLVAy99
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp46VTX9Yw
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdDTrBucp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDJobOxOCk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6h22tz1E
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi18VQhV72
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza2CeNvoox
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqcJhLczq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffqnxWLZgd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7bRv82Xj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9n0upkTp9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZOxIKQfP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJ67uy5Us
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoO9FQ1GeH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdqWwU7R4B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOvNufJclH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81GUjH2Rfy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsxQEnqC5
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV1Gmvoi90
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHt7T2bCUg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCOQBpAeqg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15LteXvhOz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR88Lvll6M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwVoDgvt1s
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsV7OwPINO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpssYeu2NN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfpDlzYzqH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8QnonDvUx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0W7itsPiW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzan83bRaFO
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84xSanjj5v
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwHDBQj9Ch
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVEafTXt8v
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MFtNfEQp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk299OjZgxY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0D209Mdp5
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDloYAGEVvJ
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHuPM58YeJ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpzpEaWcia
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0zuXcmpoI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW04kf585j
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO8m4er2Hv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQrXnzcwnc
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI17rXG5XA
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddNBGi2g3d
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YFpnkg95w
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilYAm0tBV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Ll25zfR6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4s7ueUmqA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUFytX8lxx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61PDSYa8X5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZfNm4PAx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8hF763yO3
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqK7T8wosZ

「…櫻姬…」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4UcNGqHyV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJsqwoYETA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fPN5EGqv7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5edrrN7j3q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hU6Pi77Bg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFkbS3Dy2a
……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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxzAUViNvR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCW5wN5gs7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRyU3cES0Q
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHYKan3ZMY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB7uDBFEib
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvCGILo7pg
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0nEk6iBRF
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMaSoaXf3c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKghUG1BM0
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWASFaGImr
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE8wGYPq9r

片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDsqCOkWiS

這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ992d2H87cG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w76fYftmZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY692ux8PX0

……永不清醒……529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NnqsExNL

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfCjEvuBe
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguebDwuo2t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkevARw7Yl
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2P46b0wv6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Mm47UWf0

其餘事物都毫無義意。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraSThQlCHS

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcrv8VZQvY

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u7B6Re56R
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPrlXFa9Ss
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubMOZP9MAu
