845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qX0K8Dws
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVK254YT6l
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jtZRRD4eL
「……。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHtWLvWobu
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7AmgFze4A
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxVb07d7hA
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3pb1OmTf

「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTiIDVVoMC
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXzonRumIK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggosWrblSp
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIjQLhHDc8
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYfz6zUBlF
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmnr2OGSMN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qdkUtIS5k
「你是第一次參加？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNanriOsxw8
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOI0hInMNi
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiBO7eHlZt
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDcv1QysVC
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXvmCTCZxJ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjA7m8iFJN
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQDLolRN7c
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5FigYaTv6
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5i7TS2ezm
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7fSnTd9CA
「今年又為什麼來？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcz7DdxFrX
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcverE4K38w
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45v9Y8vjyU
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIhXk2BVGf
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCdWD07pLN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHLMd5dQdC
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO0IGRJfxz
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EiJm9UxGc
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRIEweNVtf
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QhvXUOoRM
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiVMjc95UI
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUBDQK4DXa
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFheKeRGXxB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK73eraWuNY
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn7nA8b1SP
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSlhukdbbE
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpTJfL4QV
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQLgFq2nMI
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNR2gHZcxD
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB29Slbbka
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI64lYRPiPr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwYwbw3FM
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZK3UUlHAK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kD83QXuPD
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5VWoX60w
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDAhAUfoku
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBYoxc9RdE
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZPm46YS4U
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbs37QrUo8
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqvVyCB27Q
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rPxkTP3yR
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsanz7Rwfa7
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNJmij1F0
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxH1KgkWn
「妳……！」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzTvB1QHsg
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0Fbri7rb
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNYAvhhc7
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxG06Q1i4
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnbaorDZIK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70cEYOxoMD
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJxCdJ8MLj
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFycbiHeoGb
「你知道？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRSZgJ9yZ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fYJBmlp9v
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09XCM2GNcZ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUFFgEuy63
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDBbR4i0ad
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw2GX3U0Pj
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuGfHEH0lF
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jr6J2Oi2L
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcXVGPREEY
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68WO7VuIs5
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSmjQytOV
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16yIrkavcC
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXBkssjzb8
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEjFadZGB
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNASDN2ZQXl
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs6CohxQ0H
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIMI687nSG
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76q1FhaOI
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjziv6xruMr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHDhQwV2or
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqOcD4TKN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ISrKqLyPY
「時…時尚？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkUgk8qv4h
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLJLm8Gf7N
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUHfMAkzB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDqOMiRlwC
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6BsqOLlYP
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jSJCkZ2N2
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjUBLbayiD
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegYCk2Beiq
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLCGf91FmX
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzSuot7e6q
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8EqEVmI3p
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmXls61p4U
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zjv2yAx78
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTNdNxbyVe
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRLI2xwXYr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PrxEwo8cH
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarcGVOQwT1
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9TSP5Hadc
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXXas2w46
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNx79kEChU
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIkIxrhfkU
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEDknC9k8
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElYvTncCBa
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlL9yOU2q
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EkOIYXYsK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcj3dyX9E4
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bUN56Bozc
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GlHKHt9Pv
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AGIkS7A5u
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMobaDNiVA9
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhW2J0gET
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMfpW2uOuf
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XUymfIHBF
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiaWJMQmeS
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYHxxLh7TG
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7a2m4uI8t
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZcIutlUij
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bewfqh8c2
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iabVBTGX
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXMiOeT3uF
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiojM0IQ5r
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXbEGpfCY
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn4xF8JNuL
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW9M7n8hbE
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ht45UQEsr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEPkXdR55s
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqrv7QXLfB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGrk33zadY
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVUTYHyul3
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx5G0zc9ga
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMyVeS65M
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49bo1EIOT
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9XU47hfYn
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10QCnDEOUF
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcHsiCllUO
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5GXVThpxe
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjvivYkge
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5sWCeyfiC
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRehPzEwHr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvEYammdbW
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuWK67Ffc6
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ579Mq1u5V3
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQR8BvfAZ0
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnnWoK1UcF
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dyerxIj0X
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj8uoWrlqp
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUkpRv2BPi
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVM5WHY6JT
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVRr2rW2HJ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLInRIPABjA
「……。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDByuQDIykB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UokykMjs
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAfuoHxeA3
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujymFBpTAa
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPRlXCERHV
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRLYDlczn
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwm0vVEUf
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyjPAMiDar
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnPJGTLArh
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJS8cyeX2V
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFWFf3YSSv
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNrh9hLf63
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRBu5DnAiX
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDSgeKGjFB
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlplJ4eAs4
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOfWVCI8j
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection841ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjh3zjc9zP 維尼
