不過，並沒有太大期待。RPD藥廠可是世界頂尖的製藥公司，這次徵募的消息一定吸引了大量申請者，我未必有機會被選中。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUTaqbpEFb

急促的敲門聲將我從睡夢中驚醒。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdUhQK8z8z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOklyJcO0l
「靠，是誰這麼早？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zfFwAaAjo
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuNFv8o2RZ
我揉了揉惺忪的雙眼，瞥了一眼床頭的鬧鐘，才 上午十一點。打了個哈欠，伸了個懶腰，慢吞吞地走到門口。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBad8BApmK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdi15WoMWZ
「是郵差嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICdjhicqym
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPK4QN3cc2
低頭一看，幾封信件靜靜地躺在門縫旁。我將它們撿起，隨手翻閱。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1plRBaXh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAlFccrmVo
「切……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsBxdbW2kS
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFzZCw0QEs
水電費帳單、銀行催款通知、垃圾宣傳單……都是些煩人的信件。我不耐煩地將它們塞進抽屜，只剩最後一封。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7B1QdgL2r
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1JIn7c2zE
信封左上角印著 「R.P.D」 三個字母。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqboWRnMO4
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gHCQEFIV
我微微一愣，心跳竟不自覺地快了一拍。視線順著信紙往下滑——61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcForN1IXLF
「恭喜你，您已獲選參與S-12的最終研究。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hQZw8sYWF
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78bgsw8FbF
我盯著這行字，怔了幾秒。雖然稱不上像中樂透那樣興奮，但至少，我不必再為生活發愁了……這封信，對我而言就是一根救命稻草。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAM7ofoE61
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1rGCuAlnc
繼續往下讀——61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgO4ah2WmT
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlMgxQuSEo
「若確定參與，請攜帶身份證明文件，前往RPD研究所總部報到。研究所24小時運作，生活用品將由RPD提供。請於今日內抵達總部，並再次恭喜您被選中。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkk3a5PDG3
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjFfwTBlQo
RPD的效率還真高……61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r4MvQ683W
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUAjkwr5Yk
既然不需要準備行李，那我基本上可以 馬上出發。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWspcbF9DE
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtoF1mcHgY
<封閉的研究所>
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSzPB3iY7a
我拉開抽屜，拿出身份證明文件，塞進背包。打開手機查詢研究所的位置，確定路線後，便拎起包包，轉身走出門外。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSAYR6IEe
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRosTlG8gc
門「啪嗒」一聲關上，像是將過去幾個月的頹廢與迷惘，也一併鎖在門內。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7kzDdtDZb
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaTzWbxa4n
我坐上公車，打開手機，確認導航路線。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtq6eBjemh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Yr6EZZEJ
「東部郊區……四個小時的車程。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N02xp4lL0
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58aR6ufpyh
如果是以前的我，這種長途跋涉一定會讓我感到焦慮，但現在……或許是因為好久沒有離開家，這趟旅程竟讓我產生一絲學校旅行的錯覺。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIEhaZlgEE
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOXDenYCbN
「什麼都不用操心，什麼都不用計劃，甚至還有人照顧……接下來的六個月，說不定會是我人生中最輕鬆的時光。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlF8MI2QN2
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67Qhb0RHl
我將耳機戴上，讓音樂填滿耳朵，視線落在窗外，沿途的景色由市區的高樓大廈逐漸變成荒涼的郊區，零星的工業建築點綴在陰沉的天空下。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsDTprlEJU
公車顛簸地行駛著，不知不覺間，我竟沉沉睡去。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpzGLcL9eB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQ9SYH6kC
「下一站，RPD藥廠。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMerw6dTxM
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyT7Lxfysw
「Next station, RPD Research and Development Department。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDmQsPzzXs
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxRtKJIrxU
廣播聲驟然響起，我瞬間睜開眼。窗外天色已暗，濃厚的雲層壓在地平線上，給人一種詭異的沉重感。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6QF9vSsrH
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1f0zn1AMi
我環顧車廂，才發現車上已經只剩下我一個人。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDmnO8M9Xi
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFeYYmJcYD
車子減速，緩緩駛向路邊，停在一座龐大的白色建築前。透過車窗，我看見巨大的招牌上刻著 「RPD R&S」——我的目的地。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKPWAAPUC
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0WNprUXfg
我背上背包，走下車。夜風帶著微涼的濕氣撲面而來，我下意識地裹緊外套。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnltnlCR6jU
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncT6K8fmS6
周圍靜得出奇，放眼望去，除了這棟孤零零的建築和周圍稀疏的樹木，四下無人。建築物外圍設有高聳的鐵柵欄，每隔三四米便裝有一個監視器，冰冷的紅光在黑暗中一閃一閃，像是不斷掃視著一切入侵者。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ100bgaLZwT
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiB3TYt9CL
「這地方還真是偏僻……」
這裡幾乎不可能有路人經過，應該只有研究所的員工和……我們這些「受試者」會來。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynpPDflVum
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MESCeGnGr
但仔細想想，這麼大規模的研究機構，若設在市中心，建設成本恐怕是天價。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6EEAJoss
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXUYyZhof8
我深吸一口氣，快步走向大門。剛靠近，一名身穿黑色制服、配戴槍械的守衛便擋在我面前。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVsNM0DiZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv23MqYOmc
我的腳步微微一頓。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rKi4s6nkz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0BN8yscnh
「一個醫藥研究所，竟然需要武裝守衛？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5m01VIXZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeK9h5IeKP
這樣的安保等級，幾乎和某些軍事基地沒兩樣。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xfXfJsHFv
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn40BUVZkPU
我迅速掏出邀請信，遞給對方。守衛低頭確認後，才按下身側的機關，讓大門緩緩打開。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckcgiiPBTO
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbflR6wKD
走廊的盡頭沒有光，只有頭頂的白色冷光燈延綿不斷地向前延伸。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpyuIJ6QDX
帶領我的研究員身穿潔白的實驗袍，腳步沉穩。整棟建築的設計極為簡潔，純白的牆壁、天花板與地板沒有一絲污漬，消毒水的味道在空氣中瀰漫，讓人不自覺屏住呼吸。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYxxxG56A
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOvrECpt94
「在這裡往右走，第一道門推開就是接待室。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3abj8BxHK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHei44cKx
簡短交代完，他便轉身離去，連一句多餘的話都沒有。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9n6qrBGnd
我推開門，原本以為只會有三三兩兩的志願者，畢竟我是在公車站唯一下車的乘客……61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYa2GEe6KK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkYf8O3Gcf
但眼前的景象讓我微微一怔——61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2e9v1S2rs
房間裡已經坐滿了人！61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoJuV7UgfZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUmClniVo
我迅速掃了一眼，粗略估算，這裡至少有四十幾個人。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77B3r34Bfi
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRoUjRTvT
我悄悄尋找座位，最後排還剩下一個空位，我走過去坐下。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQxCbAS6Iz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfCpAC7u8L
「又來一個人……還要等多久？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShihUkSjMD
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuiloHIQTm
坐在我前方的男子不耐煩地抱怨，語氣中透著煩躁。我剛落座，便察覺到不少視線落在我身上，我微微點頭示意，對方們則紛紛移開目光。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNzaalrjhW
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPkoI6l1AL
「我也等很久了……要不找個人問問？」旁邊的人嘆道。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnC9CUAsH
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7RyywH7t
「沒用的。」前排的一名男子淡淡地說，「我是第一個到的，他們只會叫我們『耐心等待』。據說等人到齊，項目負責人才會來。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa5xTZpLjO
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o4UnweqRa
「媽的，我收到信後就開車趕過來，下午一點多就到了……要不是最近缺錢，我才不會大老遠跑來！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz1FZ3jZRV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfzul6kR1
坐我旁邊的大叔怨聲載道，語氣裡滿是不耐與無奈。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUhEUljId
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO30yh5ADP
「他……也是為了錢？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LksA2jA0s
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMftXp2a1
我側眼打量他，他的衣著簡單，眉宇之間透著一股疲憊，像是長期處於經濟壓力下的人。他的話讓我意識到，房間裡的大多數人可能都有類似的理由。
