我不發一語，看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KtXuWeWDB
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiGfuTNhGh
根據過往經驗，有人在面前死去固然不是很舒服，但意外的是我對於他的死沒什麼特別的感覺。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBLRqb6ZVW

「妳變了呢，來夏，過去的妳要是看到難以容忍的事情，肯定會挺身而出反抗到底呢。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4elZnpvWk3

「或許吧，但我警告過他了。那麼，再過不久我也要像他一樣嗎？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZ1xam4BS

「雖說守住神命村的秘密是我的責任，但畢竟妳的身份不同，要是殺了妳的話可就違背教義了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbqHGRvjJn

「看樣子妳也變了，穗香。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe32GiRavD
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeZRnK6NkQ
我看著眼前這個像是不曾見過面的陌生人。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcf3cmS5ca
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAHtvPncwW
能面不改色地將殺這個字掛在嘴邊，代表我記憶裡那個天真的穗香早已死去。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JzsybUfg

「……是從什麼時候開始就掌握住我的行蹤的？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNh5jAl7uC
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNvvn0CCvO
「事實上，妳投靠神谷夕子以後的紀錄就未曾間斷過，譬如妳考進的三流大學，就職後獲取的微薄薪資，其餘如社交狀況、就診紀錄等等森醫師皆有登錄在冊。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHAq4eZGFG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6m73mLMy8
「夠了。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMcp069xRH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw81rBANMf
那說多諷刺就有多諷刺，原來我一直未曾逃離過村子的掌控嗎。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5i5Nivoql
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMaF3faiL6
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlHAP313a8
「夠了？妳不是充分運用了妳的『特權』，作為神命村唯一的特例在外界生活嗎？縱然資料顯示妳嚴重無法適應而有過自我了斷的念頭，但皆為妳自己的選擇，村子未曾對妳做出任何干涉。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VA5QBjjxo
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyG5XOA8Xj
「妳說的特權……究竟是指什麼？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidw8zTUfyu
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3T8LSz8o
「是呢，妳還不知道吧？因為妳的親生妹妹──結城冬笑，是我們神命教所信奉的神。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiB9bsD4Gc
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w8VRWELTG
「冬笑是──神？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h58uazONW
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqhYblrgRL
我簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCuyfv9V9i
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVKIsI1i3N
因為一連串錯誤而在植物上進行錯誤的胎兒之夢的冬笑，在我離開村子的這段空白期間，居然被村子信奉為神嗎。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2TXr7A9og
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcntsPC13
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9uqDmS8kH
「在那之後……究竟發生了什麼事？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqZfkYVP8
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOCtA6lQl
「如妳所見，我們信奉著神，並藉由神命村這個機構進行篩選，唯有在此獲得認可的人，才得以前往理想鄉獲得永生。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsoMizpqwk
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi5EpqKl3e
「我根本聽不懂……再說妳到底為什麼會變成這個樣子？回答我，穗香！」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwO8ePQdlt
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjLnRnll4E
我終於忍不住上前抓住她的肩膀，和服的領口被我扯開，露出她那毫無血色的蒼白鎖骨。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkLxOmMLwD
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ctcTbCpd
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHMQMYy1DL
「我的理解有錯？妳是要問為何是我成為教主？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimWNmwVX4o
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalTEMIKtT0
「怎樣都好……拜託妳了……」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kjng02FID
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBWm64LEWR
意識到早已來不拯救眼前的摯友，我收回感到脫力的雙手。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2hmEfHoPF

「如果來夏想知道的話可以唷。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIu5IQ4o4x
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6Yljh3Dd
穗香輕輕地笑了起來。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw12wJmX6Ye
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Yi8GiDhd
這是重逢後她第一次表達身為人類的感情，但我卻不知道那笑容之中究竟包含多少無盡的絕望。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDoT0cGOG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKooXH0EhE
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU12gpWcoI
「其實被選為教主的人是來夏妳喔，再怎麼說妳也是神的親生姊姊。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDQL9rHac
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BGuiDFEPY
既然妳不願意回來，我也只是作為妳的替代，暫時將就用著的次級品而已。所以現在只要妳有意願，隨時都可以頂替我成為教主，但那也要妳願意通過成為教主所需要的儀式才行。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQDB7G9mHT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTud1D7iE
儀式的部份必須由身處滿是食物跟神滓的坑洞裡面開始。啊，就是在廣場上殺了許多人的那些，來夏的父親當時也在坑洞裡面呢。平常啊，神滓若是沒有接獲神的指示，就只不過是擁有人類劣等的本性，將慾望表露無遺的醜陋生物。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmEkkaycdS
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5R3pvuLj
「穗香，難不成妳──」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAczgX9BzVz
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnZxxAfvaR
我說不下去。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj5xjaXV1r
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MWBDjNSsr
正因為曾經目睹過一次那生物的暴行，所以怎樣都說不出口。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsSf13byQv
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxpjKR3tG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHYamhZGDj
「對啊，在那裡面被強暴整整一個月哦，全身能被上的地方全都被上過一遍了呢。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASPL2RC0kk
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOi9Uc21Xe
剛開始的時候，我可是無時無刻都在詛咒妳，但過了兩三天後就完全放棄了，因為到後來究竟是痛苦還是愉悅早就分不太清楚，這副軀殼的本能反應還真是下賤對吧？257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6rqvBqeHp
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJlXG1GXj4
從那時候起我就感受不太到喜怒哀樂了，少了大部分感情的影響，才能做出對村子最正確的選擇吧？不過，雖然心中沒什麼恨，但至少還記得報仇的具體作法。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31VJqyS1g1
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA6q7mpxsl
「果然村長……是被妳殺害的嗎？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2XcHYxoU8
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZApdco5vYT
「嗯，我成為教主以後，照著跟我一樣的方式丟進去了。不到兩個小時就發瘋死掉了呢，還真是可笑的老鬼。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7KmzADRQe
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm9khDZrhB
像是想起愉悅的事情似而嬌豔地笑了，那模樣有如帶有劇毒的花蕾。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO1FeK0Q3d
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8LnWJm11
我無法想像過去她所遭受的待遇有多絕望，現在的我對沒有拯救到當時的她一事而感到萬分自責，但卻連分擔當時的她的千萬分之一痛苦都做不到。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHweeQ388G
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2FejnOk2J
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrOpCnUnm
「為什麼……不打算報復我？妳想要的話絕對可以做到吧？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgqkoSRJ1w
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGesDEzMax
到頭來，只能說出這種不像樣的話來。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY2xs0Og6t
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUfWW1nVGW
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kK1lX7nYH
「來夏，我可不記得妳是這麼沒記性的人，不是說過妳可是神的姊姊喔？別說傷害，我的身份無權過問妳任何的事情。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeFhl8KvCq
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WyXDifTSA
「那我到底該怎麼辦啊！！？」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp7NlUeJUl
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqunTSHwP
我幾近崩潰地嘶吼。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtba8N5n6b
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA1j0zK9jy
在外界活得非常痛苦的我，就連回到神命村也找不到任何一點容身之處，連唯一的朋友都變成我完全不認識的模樣。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNlmksKek
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AEMU4j2nY

「……前往理想鄉吧，小夏。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYluXPAXTF
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAHQWgI8J2
突然間，穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqVA48voP5
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkoIZ6oaT7
那是一雙毫無對焦能力，呈現潰散的淡色瞳孔，而我只在人偶上看過這種不帶任何感情色彩的玻璃眼珠。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGRA4fvQC0
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlOHcxj0W
然而，那卻是跳脫了教主的身份，由十七歲起便已支離破碎到不復存在，那名為桃井穗香的朋友碎片所提給我的建言。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDuXVTQhqZ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3dzRZMU0v
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPhLARXWIM
「耕一也在那裡。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYk4cUNCW7
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuu05gD6kX
面無表情的女性，接著在有如機械似地解說完理想鄉運行的原理後，再度閉上了眼睛。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ss2MlxWyH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr39G4p1rzU
……那代表著對話結束的意思。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQh11o910
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPooYyxNVT
對於所信奉之神的眷屬，教主不被賦予權限過問，也不被允許發表意見。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmioljw3yh
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVHWGfLrN
我向著那無法違背殘忍命運的摯友道了謝，起身準備離開會客室。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQb8yipUJ9
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL9xhE7fiU
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU4vvNP7U2
「青海的錄音檔我聽了，我與神谷耕一各自都欺騙了妳一件事情──」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW11POY28W4
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosqaMNe30L
臨走之前，維持正坐在房間裡面的教主叫住了我。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsVk9OWaHj
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIVXNAVHzI
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZ5V1PDYu
「第一是我早已讓神滓回歸神的懷抱，所以儀式早已不復存在。第二是那晚我並不在廣場上，把我留在這裡的人正是妳們。」257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBvhEaYs1X
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9BS6WTPGc
謊言的告解到此結束。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfyWKw3M8V
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFcQW32r1h
即便想再多說些什麼，也無法補救過去的錯誤。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDrOkTOaYA
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Z17HQE4L
我一步一步地踏過木製的走廊，在鶯啼的伴隨下前往故事的終局。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89GS4ne2m
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KHU82lnEs
◇257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffoOcwS6bY
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqwSrSPwaf
在崎嶇難行的原始森林間走著。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWxwDTFr76
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIUC4IORsa
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEpYOuG9Mk
糾結於未經開發的地面上的樹根洋溢著生命的喜悅。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDryKt9ql
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKk8RoK0We
沒有地圖或指南針，單憑五感就想要前往理想鄉，在旁人聽起來簡直就是癡人說夢。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zXIZrEHMJ
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRnFDOW7z
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGh1lOBwt
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO9uNXRSVj
她說，只要順著歌聲前進就會抵達，她所棲息的那個世界。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEU7Gih7X
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRea0ge37e
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwn3LtOto
不知道在森林裡面走了多久。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QfBCZd5JT
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RbvEn0SHy
踏上旅途時我記得還是白天，只不過一眨眼的時間就來到了傍晚。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HXoZUeP7K
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNpgdzP94G
就在此時，我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlIEtxLceG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBkI0XD0Kq
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的，來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2P2uTSxE
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGelRYsvnP
我順著歌聲的方向，中途因為受夠了難走到不行的皮靴，我乾脆直接脫下來丟掉。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgN3eUDiHM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2wRZHusf
最後在撥開了幾道比人還要來得高的樹叢後，我終於來到了她的面前。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgrFGKAx3
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qqJJHAts
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDL5CHS3L8
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQosMFPCBS
那是一顆以人類的視角來說相當巨大，有著少女形體的靈樹。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytdmQyOWkM
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW1g64bXdj
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7IJbNA5mE
視野三百六十度全都是漫天飛舞的雪花。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7YDpN2Tn
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNh7uU1FS
像是蒲公英般的孢子輕輕漂浮在四周，微弱的橙白光芒順著她呼吸的節奏而忽明忽暗。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtwOXvrmTH
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PjRxiRclD
在少女的腿部的位置附近，有著一個個如同卵般的人形物體，以深埋其中的頭部與她相連。那就是理想鄉的構成基礎，將所有人的腦部串連起來，進而匯集成為一個永恆的夢世界，這類似網路的原理讓我聯想到過去曾在書上看過的某種魚類。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIzf1g9raI
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeo8xhqAJh
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz1MsDueNx
……突然回憶起當初我對耕一所說過的那些話。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut2fjeaOsG
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBUkWueVKc
如今已邁入社會多年的我，早就喪失了那份對未來充滿著憧憬的自信。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYybfQ0gr
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwskbZW7BO
結果我既不是安於現狀的家禽，也並非自由翱翔就能得到快樂的獵鷹。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuk7qD7K1C
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ752SzAQjDB
過去的我只是試圖反抗別人加諸在身上枷鎖，從未想過自己所嚮往的究竟是什麼樣的風景。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxNCkdU6m
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2IDSsFE6y
直到去了外面的世界才後悔，在那個人與人互相利用的環境中，我從未發自內心感到快樂，只是勉強自己笑著而已。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqDArDPjgl
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5LZymW8xx
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUOMiTDHS
我的快樂只存在於過去的神命村。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV2qRaMGA5
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYQ5L5T6qV
那個冬笑和父母都還在，和大家一起笑著度過每天的童年。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZT7E7IyR
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Inj7QSFv
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyyZtLGlsI
我踏著有點溼潤的地表走向她，腳底反饋回來的是有如苔蘚般的觸感。257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj6Xskwx1c
