「你是……」新河混濁的雙眼微微睜大。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyIsEUfp5
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxiMF2JEPJ
「您好，我是萬事屋的玄鶚。」玄鶚看似輕鬆的微笑，實際上嘴角正在抽搐。「……在詳細談話之前，得請你先恢復生前的樣子……喔，不不，是先收斂一下現在四射的思念與焦躁。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jnxZ5rkMd
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV29japsYFD
「咦……？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzZZ5tqS34
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tunjzVcJs
「嗯啊，看來你完全沒有察覺啊？這傢伙因為你散發的戾氣快要撐不住了呀，請深呼吸一下，讓腦袋暫時放空吧！」玄鶚指指身邊因感到痛苦而揪緊衣襟的少女幽靈。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xn2eilvJ4
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjdTbhuUDH
新河呆呆順著玄鶚的手指看去。雖然不明所以，還是嘗試照做了。深呼吸幾次後，少年幽靈身上的血跡漸漸變淡，而後消失。只剩下尖刀還握在手中。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRi3Bj6Nq6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGgU7d87uQ
「……只要這樣就可以了嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6KNoxQ4C
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZKLZBLrF0
四周的氛圍變得緩和，針扎的觸感也趨緩不少。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdMvMFRTdW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFZjDVDun0
「嗯嗯！可以可以！」玄鶚點點頭。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YNK80H0Aa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IDvMsDOTW
萌理佳鬆了口氣，卻還是待在玄鶚身側，修補搖搖欲墜的靈體。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8fB05v49A
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJ80Z891Z
「我們撿到了這些紙飛機，因上面的求救訊息而來。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtuUUWGQFa
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLuJuOHjs5
新河望著紙張上的文字，陷入沉默。他不記得自己有寫下這些，也沒有摺紙……依照現狀，他連紙都無法取得。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGKpQvPM8L
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMeH3i91nl
然而，紙張上的血跡與襯衫上的一樣令人不忍卒睹。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZBPpNiQl9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7vWJeBYOl
「我不知道……我什麼都不記得了。我沒有做出紙飛機，也沒有筆可以書寫，就像你看到的，我無法放下握在手中的這把刀。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaqy9D8GL6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjstAVtlsg
這樣的話，紙飛機本身只是新河意念的具象化。無論往建築外投出多久、多少個紙飛機，眼前的少年都沒有察覺到這件事。他不知道自己變成了活人畏懼的幽靈。帶著尖銳而寒冷的氣息存在於此，自己卻毫無意識。全都是一片空白。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8nupjUcRK
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOE1oajPx
所以說，眼前的少年究竟是哪一方呢？依照傳說，有三個外校男生被指使到這個學校來，是殺害了女學生？還是刺殺了同夥呢？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaLAHl9Shl
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoK5Qzu7hw
有其他可能性嗎？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckI8d59N6S
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0rW5WW0T1
依照玄鶚與萌理佳所見，少年幽靈握著生前用以殘殺或是守護的凶器，全身染血，走不出這層樓，一直在這裡徘徊。但本人卻什麼都不記得，目前唯一的線索就是白兔。這根本就是所謂的「案情陷入膠著」。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtrufBzPJW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdpR1KN1fK
「走不出去……」玄鶚往女兒牆外探頭，「沒有跳出去試看看嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EtQgzsfO0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLmOFTMIL
萌理佳和少年一起露出驚愕的表情。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwdSrDMGT
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwfEriA1KM
「玄鶚，你在說啥！怎麼可能……這是四樓耶！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvFdfPDa3
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHWKrShLB
「之前是有想要跳……」新河蠕動嘴唇說出驚人之語。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedyFZNtBy
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVaDEjuD0B
什麼！萌理佳不可置信地望向少年緩緩垂下的頭顱。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEmKxRncUu
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKsGQc8uv9
「但因為太高了，很可怕，所以……」不敢跳。新河頓時羞紅了臉，變得像哪家的小家碧玉。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC7LvOgpJ0
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3YyILeth
啊……玄鶚了然於心。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayz6C7jDLE
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXip5eGRH
「我是開玩笑的咩。其實就算跳了也會回到原處啦！就算不會再死一次，也請別做傻事。」他揮揮手。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxagnyq34od
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53y3X83NWH
那麼…… 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jTnJ6D7hF
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9h62I67s0
「現在怎麼辦？」萌理佳眉頭微蹙，望著態度一派輕鬆的黑色少年。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw2x5ki2h5
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUVTjWClV9
「嘛嘛，不必擔心啦！」玄鶚甚至打了個呵欠，「既然萬事屋來了，就沒什麼好擔心了。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs6ICfjn3z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAVZ2JESe6
他一掌拍上灑落新河肩上的夕陽。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcuRjDmJSp
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHNNHLxIb
「一切就交給我們吧！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPGET7RLBr
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1QvndeLFT
＊338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk5IOyqwCf
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTYvjC4Hl9
代表萬事屋出差的兩人就這樣踩著溫暖厚重的夕陽步上回程。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ga5CHVdnN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXelxTGmbWt
「玄鶚！玄鶚！」由於腿的長度不同，萌理佳得用小跑步才能跟上黑色少年的腳步。「等一下！玄鶚！」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLDzUG5xnN
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCKmKnAjWn
「唉……幹什麼啦？」玄鶚只往後方稍微轉過臉來，語氣稀鬆平常。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZxRYhQXec
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51y2KqXckf
「我們……就……就這樣丟下他嗎？」兔耳充滿彈性的上下跳動。萌理佳喘著氣，剛剛受到的損傷還沒完全復原。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoL7JQUocW
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu32gmBIJJ
「嗯。」玄鶚只丟出一個單音，繼續往圍牆邊的人行道跨步。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs9eQETn2S
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEPNEBJG0G
這個人……怎麼講的那麼輕描淡寫啊？萌理佳又追了上去。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0N2JHjH5s
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHNuSAHQPs
「沒……沒關係嗎？讓他一個人在那裡……哎呀，你等一下啦！」她一把拉住少年的深色夾克。玄鶚總算停下腳步。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoY6Ee1sqC
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirGlJECJrI
「妳幹嘛那麼緊張啊？喔……喂喂，妳還好吧？」他一轉過身，才發現萌理佳已經握著膝蓋喘著粗氣。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qdbHDPytB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAQEk1iY3R
「當然緊張啊！我……呼呼！咳咳……你……」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5kciOCgEg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WuBsMPrsH
玄鶚腦中的天線忽然接通了。喔，對喔。她剛剛受到那少年的影響……338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9aqwuBKT9
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9MuoLyDT
「唉……知道啦、知道啦！妳先休息一下。」他說，伸手拍拍她的背給她順氣。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTfd92Fq8
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR06qjcjpMk
過了一陣，萌理佳的呼吸總算平穩許多。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4eJDq3et8
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4tWdBfNXJ
「那個啊，不需要緊張咩！因為萬事屋來了呀。」玄鶚說。話語裡並不包含自負，單純只是闡述事實。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8AhPyQtpw
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWd31MpaSp
「這是……什麼意思啊？」萌理佳的神情像是困窘，也像感到辛苦。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9kwmPxEk
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfetgxMlxWI
「哪，這世上事出必有因。新河會變成地縛靈也一定是有理由的吶。他會獨自待在那個校舍，或許是有什麼東西遺失在那裡。失去的記憶一定包含在內，然而，應該還有其他的因素造成他被綁縛在當初死亡的地方。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyExqz2fs6
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZKY5EyBD
好艱深……萌理佳聽不太懂，但還是努力動腦跟上玄鶚說的話。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspT7R0lWcQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvSLCiNUTG
「也就是說……只要找到他死亡時的記憶，或許就能找出變成地縛靈的原因，也就能幫他離開榕樓了嗎？」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFARjpBz3t
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgUVAhBBEc
「正是。」玄鶚露出幼稚園老師欣慰的微笑。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1sQ3IRJvB
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVI5nmtAO8
但是，也可能會是另一種局面。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk83mGgBmAd
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkJJyuqqO
那種猜測比任何發展都更加殘酷，也不會是和平收場。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqxYw480LJ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpV6l3CqAa
只會是悲劇。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoaRMi2rU8
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOLpBhMuGc
「那，我們現在要怎麼做？」什麼都不知道的萌理佳眨著天真無邪的雙眼。沒發現兔子頭套因為剛才的狼狽而歪斜。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrPQivUncY
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MlLhfct1
玄鶚伸出纖細卻有力的手掌，拍上毛絨絨的雪白，將頭套挪正。自行道樹間篩落的夕陽打上少年透出群青色的髮梢，靛藍的瞳仁中，萌理佳的眼睛瞪得更大了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQnwlpzAcg
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofrBX8GPyx
「等待就行。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzESIGNVbcj
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqX09wAth
直到萌理佳回到萬事屋，感覺還是飄飄然的。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4jCAG0djb
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEk7yR3dme
夜晚很快就來臨了。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZej0cmD54K
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhby1wK0Hj
連同絳雉，三人圍在萬事屋內側，巨大畫作前方的辦公桌附近，整理今日得到的線索。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChnSuFKw5K
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yAXjjUdxa
「原來如此。」絳雉輕撫線條柔美的下顎，心裡似乎已經有了底。「確實只需要等待時機成熟。這次的委託算是輕鬆。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT9xL3d7YD
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKhwIAyd0f
但萌理佳可不覺得輕鬆。要知道她可是一度以為自己要被對方的氣息刺穿了，簡直是九死一生。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvmjL8kP6n
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMVW6XSwE
「那個，可以用我聽得懂的話說嗎？」萌理佳不滿的鼓起雙頰。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50H9fWMD2z
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn7YkniC4S
絳雉與玄鶚交換了一個眼神。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfqHWqCtFe
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0iKTdt1f
「自古至今，活人要是非自然或是意外死亡，便會出現喪失記憶的情況。並非全部都是，但也不在少數。若是死亡當時的情況混亂，這種情形便相對常見。人死後變成靈，能夠思考與記憶的大腦死去，變得只剩下人性最根本的情感。靈魂即以此為依據來行動，即便沒有記憶還是下意識地產生執著，成為意識被束縛在身體，或者意義重大的事物或地點的靈。」絳雉以平穩清澈的語調說明。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Pyhtccay
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDkUEVakH
新河是歸類於將意識束縛於死亡地點的「地縛靈」。而束縛，即為執著，新河很可能對那條長廊、那座女廁懷有執念。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vOWA4VX1O
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLjDqhVXhv
「萬事屋的職責在於協助靈魂回歸輪迴。我們四處游移，哪裡有需要幫助的靈就往哪裡去。而地縛靈雖然是擁有執念而留於原地，彌留人間，但總有例外的時候。那個幽靈既然已經徘徊榕樓許久才遇見萬事屋，就代表生前做錯了事，作為懲罰而暫時讓祂待在原處。目的是懲處，也是為了讓靈魂為自己的作為反省。也就是說，失去記憶的新河，可能是因潛意識的執念，也可能是因『規則』上的贖罪而困在當初死亡之地。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoi82AJKdt
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTcIhSdx1N
「可是……他不是已經不記得了嗎？這樣懲罰又有什麼意義？」萌理佳搔搔臉頰，提出合理的質疑。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOseHAJ5e
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0CNelWNXm
「本人即使不記得，上面還是會這樣做啦。祂一定是對誰有所虧欠，才會被扣留，也是因為有所執著，才會緊緊握著手中的刀。」玄鶚說道，「萬事屋只會尋找需要幫助的靈魂。我們如今來到祂面前，表示事情即將有所轉機。因此只需要等待。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByNQrPtffp
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeC6tGAPYP
等待……等待什麼呢？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXmbq3rSNQ
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sltVadORf
「等待祂的記憶咩。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtnQqUncdz
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XGwoCQx5z
萌理佳似懂非懂。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVDTqxhrnz
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfD363EB9w
只有新河一個人的話，根本尋不回自己的記憶。但萬事屋又說只需要等著，而不是協助尋回……這究竟是怎麼回事？338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJVwbtiilH
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NCyHPLDCH
要是長年來都想不起來，已經深埋靈魂深處的回憶會忽然從天上掉下來的話，那新河也不會徬徨那麼久了吧……338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm65SlYcro
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8e0WIekie
絳雉看穿萌理佳的思維，但沉默著垂下眼瞼。338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkwX4Y9vF8
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowQYyQx7W8
玄鶚伸長手臂，打了個大呵欠。「無論是什麼樣的轉機，我們都無權過問。只能說凡間俗世，上天都會有所安排吶。」338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pdzXlh88M
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXX5MBBPWA
