我們兩個的計畫是後天晚上十點,也就是大人們入睡後這時段逃離村子。293Please respect copyright.PENANAvnG1v0yNWU
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5zG1RlXH3V
由於事關重大,為了完全確保不能出任何差錯,耕一說會在私底下和穗香解釋清楚,要我多擔心自己的狀況要緊。293Please respect copyright.PENANA9X37h56dyH
我從晚飯過後就著手準備行李,要準備的東西蠻多的,光是衣服之類的必需品就已經一大堆,再加上耕一剛剛開給我的清單,似乎還要有露宿野外的最糟打算。所以我只好捨棄自己的包包,將父親過去經常背著出門,容量高達八十五公升登山背包來使用。293Please respect copyright.PENANAyid0pPP0PO
293Please respect copyright.PENANAk2bAdfKPwi
中途意外地在隱藏口袋裡發現了父親過去在大學任教的教師證,在這之前我從未聽說過他有大學教授的資格,看樣子大人們確實隱藏了不少真相,但真的有必要為了這村子做到這種程度嗎?我一面在心裡反覆咀嚼著,一面照著清單收拾房間裡的東西。293Please respect copyright.PENANAdqdyBziJ6S
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgyNYhvI2JL
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqphBLskkG8
「……奇怪?外面是發生了什麼事情嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANALuvScyb8fs
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzAFjdv1bSk
從不久前開始,透過玻璃窗隱約聽到外面傳來快速走過的大人們交談的聲音。293Please respect copyright.PENANAnsCmwvbxed
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxR3MGlEh5H
由於我房間位於二樓,又是在最裡面的角落,根本沒辦法確認門前的狀況,但聽起來人數似乎不少的樣子。293Please respect copyright.PENANA84XC7U5p60
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGA6ObReE2F
我抬頭看了一下時間是九點四十分,理論上應該是他們就寢的時間,因此顯得格外讓人在意。過了幾分鐘後我決定打開窗戶,探出半截身子觀察外面的情況。293Please respect copyright.PENANA8fC0xcTJbm
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5a8CX2jDac
然而似乎為時已晚,家門口前似乎沒有人經過了,只見到遠方的廣場那邊燈火通明的景象。293Please respect copyright.PENANANrE3UZwoOE
293Please respect copyright.PENANAl77MkoTU3T
……該不會是我和耕一的事情被發現了吧?293Please respect copyright.PENANAAYzuJrjuxw
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiEvP7jJ4j4
正當我不禁為此而提心吊膽的時候──293Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lbe7rQoZp
293Please respect copyright.PENANARxuzOA7grZ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAIwH6qVhKb
磅磅磅磅磅。293Please respect copyright.PENANAoqBTKymUh7
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJdYQq2OWBi
樓下傳來了像這樣急促的敲門聲。293Please respect copyright.PENANAy7PMCY6ugx
293Please respect copyright.PENANAW355OUccix
隨後傳來了呼喊著我名字的聲音……是耕一沒錯,確認以後我趕緊衝下樓去應門。293Please respect copyright.PENANAfPMHEyNOsA
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgSYfgayA4F
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJFdY2qu4pk
「來夏!他們抓到那個怪物了!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAAqfCE7LcuG
293Please respect copyright.PENANA30TI7UrNzx
「咦?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAdHgoBmMtzv
293Please respect copyright.PENANAFNDllCx6Fv
才一打開門,穿著厚重外套的耕一就急切地告知我這個令人震驚的消息。293Please respect copyright.PENANAta9DX2889k
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkbPiSys5Tn
……已經抓到了嗎。293Please respect copyright.PENANAnvFoTTM23W
293Please respect copyright.PENANACb16m4xLzR
老實說,憑著那晚恐怖至極的印象,我完全沒有料想到那個會有被捕獲的可能性。293Please respect copyright.PENANAFiJKq2XXtQ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAj9GLrvzB49
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0zWqgCm08H
「那個──已經確定是冬笑了嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAK3ID4K7zVD
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWOOv7FRHWi
我戰戰兢兢地向耕一確認著。293Please respect copyright.PENANApeIp75UHrV
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7xiXRXxpOD
293Please respect copyright.PENANACEXO0lGSKg
「還不知道,所以我才要帶妳過去,不好好做最後確認的話,妳也沒辦法說走就走吧。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAOviTQervkF
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvLWmX5A2oD
「……嗯。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAe2ab6Srade
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9qrbJblRmc
我雖然對於親眼確認一事有些猶豫,但還是點了點頭。293Please respect copyright.PENANAr7gaqPPz72
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXGjPH4LzVs
在獲得了我的同意後,耕一隨即就直接拉起我的手跑了起來。293Please respect copyright.PENANAQWhYdqcZEX
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEKyyEPdvLH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlKzsjW4Ncz
「等……!門還沒有──」293Please respect copyright.PENANAJvWNBHjewP
293Please respect copyright.PENANARF9VGgmwUe
「沒時間管那個了!我們去看一眼之後就回來,不知道為什麼總有不太好的預感。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAtSMgIW639j
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgWweaj64De
「……不好的預感?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAm2OcgHf4KE
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhUlFPGiIqp
「我也說不上來,只是我這幾天一直在想,冬笑真的是為了復仇而回來的嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAaWc7FKpVuD
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHHFL4E2XFH
「復仇什麼的那不是你說的嗎!?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAkPoVBjw1vm
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6VpBcgpvC2
夜裡的風很大,將我的側髮吹得亂七八糟的。293Please respect copyright.PENANAvNPht9Jfo9
293Please respect copyright.PENANAfmWK1V9C1I
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXwNtEt4bFF
「對,可是復仇這個舉動在殺死葛城後便達成目的了吧,沒有道理連殘肢都一起帶走吧?」293Please respect copyright.PENANACamoIEuMSO
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5rVGgHhZCF
「───」293Please respect copyright.PENANAnm9szuFgtH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Q7Paf41v
對啊,這到底是為什麼?293Please respect copyright.PENANAiZgTmECLCU
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnE8cAtIwHX
說起來,冬笑沒有攻擊我的原因,真的是因為一點都不恨我嗎?293Please respect copyright.PENANAfkOpYCGcsg
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8MSMjtAtvR
從來沒有試著了解她真正想法,又和殺死她的兇手有著親密的互動,對於這樣失職的姊姊,冬笑真的一點恨都沒有嗎?293Please respect copyright.PENANA4zBxnNMKMU
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXZhSoSNOp1
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7gkEN99Rm
「來夏,別自顧自地在那邊胡思亂想。」293Please respect copyright.PENANATOcErJ9GZv
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKDL4swxreU
「可是冬笑她──」293Please respect copyright.PENANAAlejtlr57g
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwlSUc8MiF5
「我說這些並不是為了讓妳自我否定,只是我也想弄清楚做個了斷而已。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAw3Sil45fNE
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWecOJPOSVW
「我──」293Please respect copyright.PENANALkDej4yLgr
293Please respect copyright.PENANALF8k14JYwt
「別去想了,不管妳要的是什麼樣的答案,到那裡全都會知道的。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAnrLsHLLNlI
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEl6wirscZI
耕一阻止了我繼續說下去,拉著我朝那位於前方半山腰位置的廣場跑去。293Please respect copyright.PENANALhvVZpLTKa
293Please respect copyright.PENANARZcZa34Fic
這時候我第一次察覺到,耕一的手掌不知道從什麼時候開始,已經變得比我還大上許多。293Please respect copyright.PENANAASMjRoT9ix
293Please respect copyright.PENANAp1HUX1A6Ur
293Please respect copyright.PENANACcHQtgNnEb
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVrSCBi52Cq
等到我們氣喘呼呼地趕到時,環繞廣場四周的傳統祭典火把正熊熊燃燒著,形成整片的橘紅色光景。293Please respect copyright.PENANAPbxy8JF8XI
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyxs2btvgM1
燃燒煤油所產生的煙味讓我覺得有點不舒服,但還是跟著耕一身後走進人群裡面。293Please respect copyright.PENANAQDgxnwNFFo
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYXR0GH0GHf
由於交頭接耳的大人們就像是看著表演似地圍繞一圈,再加上並沒有意料中來得擠,所以我們勉強佔到了看得見整座廣場的位置。293Please respect copyright.PENANAPdQA3I2JLu
293Please respect copyright.PENANAtq4hmGBO7i
293Please respect copyright.PENANACqtng065Gp
「喀喀喀嘰──嘰嘰嘰嘰!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAT2HnefhwmL
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUR58EnO1Ku
位於中央的是拼命想要掙脫繩索的怪物。293Please respect copyright.PENANAzaoHhU4gVS
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9zkXPYUYH5
如今被牢牢綑緊的麻繩所束縛,彎著腰的模樣雖然比我印象中的模樣縮小整整一圈,但基本上沒有多大的出入。293Please respect copyright.PENANAf88Kzpgxb2
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8rLNlwOoEp
我拼命地觀察怪物身上的每一處細節,過長且乾癟的四肢,流出綠膿的凹陷眼窩,甚至是那像是樹根盤踞而成的臉部輪廓都仔細評斷了一遍。293Please respect copyright.PENANAEux5UpoQ5T
293Please respect copyright.PENANATOWcKqWu5W
然而,這個外觀上找不到任何相似之處的怪物,為什麼我會在那晚把她誤認成冬笑呢。293Please respect copyright.PENANAcQCIYLvSTg
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3yqEE8y7lC
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMjMp69FXXQ
「怎麼樣,來夏,妳還認為這怪物是冬笑嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANARBa6sQU4O3
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwcVDJAI80s
「我……不知道。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAUCzPJjKCZW
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxEjv8mYyvm
儘管如此,我還是沒有否定當時的想法。293Please respect copyright.PENANAOuodoz5g0c
293Please respect copyright.PENANAPTmeaJiO7s
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqelpMYBPOd
「還不確定是嗎,但我還是相信妳最初的判斷,妳的直覺一項都很準。話說回來,實際看到這怪物果然還是很驚人。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAW71RUX9r8a
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvUCw95rvmI
「嗯。但有個地方好像跟我印象中的不太一樣。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAQKDQq89Iec
293Please respect copyright.PENANA733HcbSIOo
因為有點擔憂,我正想向耕一提到那怪物如同懷孕般隆起的腹部時,怪物後方的表演臺上出現了村長的身影,而森叔就站在臺階附近。293Please respect copyright.PENANAXxMXtvoZMp
293Please respect copyright.PENANAk7KICkqOYm
原本吵雜的討論聲在村長上臺後瞬間就變得鴉雀無聲,所有人就如同往常般對村長充滿著敬畏,沒有人敢開口再多嘴半句話。293Please respect copyright.PENANAxfaggCMVws
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGgw5lC7S7l
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tmv3C6QJe
「吾等畢生的夙願,終將在今天向前邁進至雄偉的領域!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAhThhobrSmo
293Please respect copyright.PENANAziyg8W77gw
村長沒有用上任何擴音的裝置,然而與他那駝背的身形不符,充滿能量的嗓音卻足以震撼全場。293Please respect copyright.PENANAq91N4LGFoV
293Please respect copyright.PENANAG77ru92mxj
但是……夙願?邁進?領域?村長所說的那些我一個字都聽不懂,只是為什麼聽起來村長他們像是早就知道這怪物存在了一樣?293Please respect copyright.PENANA0a6jte9BRV
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7J53UY1qab
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuItTj7aJGY
「果然啊……怪物是被他們創造出來的。」293Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Q9vDNDHH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAAWtP76vvnh
耕一在旁邊小聲的自言自語徹底點醒了我。293Please respect copyright.PENANAlpUxc9yDPs
293Please respect copyright.PENANAur1V3VfHSZ
我轉頭看向四周的大人們,每個人的表情都像是浸淫在喜悅中,聚精會神地聽著村長的演說。……背後染上了一股惡寒。293Please respect copyright.PENANA3XiEcV1hkr
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVDiY84CRgr
身處在懷抱希望的人群裡,我突然對此感到懼怕不已,那是與怪物帶來的絕望感截然不同,滿溢出來的愛慕及崇拜簡直到令人作嘔的程度。293Please respect copyright.PENANAJfGjG7BH2H
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2SqNVyobcu
293Please respect copyright.PENANApxFrPeIZ8j
「來夏,還走得動嗎?」293Please respect copyright.PENANA77m1FAEKMk
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5njBaKzV1Z
幾分鐘過後。293Please respect copyright.PENANAX2uS1QpsIX
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnHrl09ZzSz
大概是注意到了我的臉色不好,耕一在演講還沒結束前,就抓著我的手肘準備離開。293Please respect copyright.PENANAtse6ZSz0sD
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6VvRFgZh
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaXuetk1YZt
「請寬恕吾等的褻瀆,這一切都是為了更加知曉您的存在!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAjxZs7h82hB
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbNZdTEjjBc
幾乎在同一時刻,結束演說的村長對著怪物高舉起了雙手,用嘶啞的聲音高喊著。293Please respect copyright.PENANAfv9bZ3HRRa
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9LW2zvMwis
隨後,包含穗香的父親在內的五名男人走到廣場中央──293Please respect copyright.PENANARAIxhOmAXx
293Please respect copyright.PENANAB0rftBqnyT
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVOASoZQoEs
「嘰嘰嘰嘰嘰嘰嘰嘰!!!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAWzSCJEHq2p
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaxub63kiGi
怪物第一次發出了悲鳴。293Please respect copyright.PENANAT2OPAc5y2b
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQrZAGXpdVh
在我還沒反應過來之前,他們裡面其中一名手持柴刀的男人,毫不猶豫地朝怪物的腹部一刀劃開。293Please respect copyright.PENANAHingvk8UHi
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYp1B1MLiE5
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsTR0qCM8S9
「嗚!?」293Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0ipM4ffQF
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvuxY2L4Yyq
突如其來的殘忍景象,讓我不由得用雙手摀住嘴巴才避免自己尖叫出聲。293Please respect copyright.PENANAozjQcG4AIG
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0cwHQKunu9
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjYe6h8vMcB
「……太亂來了吧。」293Please respect copyright.PENANANYG6tVaPgG
293Please respect copyright.PENANABXvaLWJDm6
同樣目睹這個景象的耕一小聲地咒罵起來。293Please respect copyright.PENANAih7HsBG083
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdAldNdSNeS
然而,在那之後的太過衝擊般的畫面,讓我們兩個都暫時忘卻了離開的念頭。293Please respect copyright.PENANAe9zCRWBUo5
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMy4iGEJF5z
293Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ozdLuK6m
「喂!裡面的這是和史啊!快來幫忙,他還有呼吸!」293Please respect copyright.PENANA6WBC6zcujZ
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWccbSxnnwW
從敞開的腹部裡面滑了出來,像是胎兒一樣捲曲的裸體男人,毫無疑問的就是失蹤多日的葛城老師。293Please respect copyright.PENANAVAOjrT8Y0y
293Please respect copyright.PENANAe66qOtbNIa
但這怎麼可能。293Please respect copyright.PENANAmTiLJoDxkS
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKVAqhZYF9N
在那天我明明就已經看見葛城老師被斬斷手腳,為什麼現在又──293Please respect copyright.PENANAYnnM12WS0T
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9JNtND1pvw
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXRTjSVV4St
「怎麼回事!?頭顱好像被黏在一起了啊!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAUBJtN2SZpN
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuaLMp3wX22
「斬斷上面那邊試看看吧!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAnAKVBQ2Gkb
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuUqICoy7s7
前面的大人們似乎七嘴八舌地討論著很恐怖的事情。293Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3WyJ2Hdl2
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9jsLY5lOHM
不過到一半突然就停住了,因為大家明顯都察覺到,在我們被葛城老師給吸引注意力的同時,那個怪物一直習慣性的抽搐動作不知道什麼時候停了下來。293Please respect copyright.PENANAvAJp67cbn2
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQORWfGBUNM
293Please respect copyright.PENANAylr3kiUESB
「──嘰?」293Please respect copyright.PENANA9r2Wzlf8oh
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgMDaL4lT4M
像是注意到什麼似地,幾絲稀疏的頭髮垂著。293Please respect copyright.PENANAjt9XQ7zKI0
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQgBDxV6QO1
張著嘴的怪物動也不動,只是歪著頭看向我們這邊的人群,然後彎起嘴角,試圖用喉嚨微微發出如同吹奏有破損直笛般的音色。293Please respect copyright.PENANAT0qcOhceSX
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6DzxNYyvHl
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJuySQs2ZlX
「……姊、姊?」293Please respect copyright.PENANARtqsLzP3FH
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMMNsCVHfYj
那瞬間我幾乎忘了怎麼呼吸。293Please respect copyright.PENANAKkgiqWNQdi
293Please respect copyright.PENANADDKV3uHoRf
胸口好緊,感受到無數往我身上投射過來的眼神。293Please respect copyright.PENANAj5HixnE4Lt
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3UzQKdwjXP
後退了一大步,果然沒錯,絕對是冬笑沒錯!眼前那東西絕對是冬笑沒錯!!293Please respect copyright.PENANAoXmQHazLTw
293Please respect copyright.PENANAObeQJUZpnQ
293Please respect copyright.PENANArkAvb5KfZ6
「嘎啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!」293Please respect copyright.PENANAm3btwXdD1u
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYH1Lxhkuv7
尖銳到像是用鑿子用瘋狂刮著黑膠唱片的高亢聲調。293Please respect copyright.PENANAHsZmsz1gRf
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGBXAwIzT4r
怪物像是壞掉的節拍器般興奮地上下甩著頸部,那很明顯就是針對我才做的舉動。293Please respect copyright.PENANAX68Z4497Tn
