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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3BTPZ1Mw8

急促的敲門聲將我從睡夢中驚醒。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzFpqVwukT
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt7Jsam7xx
「靠，是誰這麼早？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXAci7wU4D
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9dFwhe4XZ
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0MnbHvUVM
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXy2vaZLaB
「是郵差嗎？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjHch8Rjyr
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEx4AAF3z0
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlmaHRk5lL
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExBLlb0hn3
「切……」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG2SEEOwM3
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzUIf8RqG
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EECrKRcrk
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXht3OY1h
信封左上角印著 「R.P.D」 三個字母。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5XvpV1pbs
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYYKRVQwfl
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——58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDP7WSbLLE
「恭喜你，您已獲選參與S-12的最終研究。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcevLI1hqsO
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCds9p9Qz
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cdrt2Y2Ia
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3GM58sk3h
繼續往下讀——58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzy2ymcWMq
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpInWbLQyHN
「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。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPd47tVwTQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftGxMq3bjB
RPD的效率還真高……58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1uQjjqbLV
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf2j9C1ufm
既然不需要準備行李，那我基本上可以 馬上出發。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CaHbASg4s
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eiE6SWZIG
<封閉的研究所>
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yjSugVzMw
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2kVef6GK
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq75V8aOeX
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O0RE40WPW
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSqw77Cdk
我坐上公車，打開手機，確認導航路線。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEpo0jfDny
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBWiMmitU
「東部郊區……四個小時的車程。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR6O9GVvhy
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2bG8yzxrB
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEAxNKEw0
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYNiFCQHRT
「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。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nbRRNcmH1
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta0NO6xtXb
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdGy61Msue
公車顛簸地行駛著，不知不覺間，我竟沉沉睡去。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJeH2ezKkV
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFOVpPbBSN
「下一站，RPD藥廠。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij8Mvng9aK
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3IUuRGhqt
「Next station, RPD Research and Development Department。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpgIz2rZo7
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQyRM3Y2C
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpmE2zsE55
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS87n554mc
我環顧車廂，才發現車上已經只剩下我一個人。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xUhGsBKS
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEy5Ayyh5H
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xQpYyXwgf
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIop2MGANDr
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRXofhz9wE
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcKv6SFKbt
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5MxSsPtQi
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsY5rGHiU2
「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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg3iMQOD8K
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIzXmgumeb
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YQPAgrqKX
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanxSAJVW4b
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFvKPHpMkJ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdQvjGoYkX
我的腳步微微一頓。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKhmRpJCe
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UvbBrpnN
「一個醫藥研究所，竟然需要武裝守衛？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT62JT7bfWC
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1KWFmyPu
這樣的安保等級，幾乎和某些軍事基地沒兩樣。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeQwIssoC6
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ331mV3AnUF
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt5dfnQKKW
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOEUDN7mJr
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyMHvYGdvX
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrHHcsbzGg
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEtdACYHgY
「在這裡往右走，第一道門推開就是接待室。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRF8TAyitC
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmscMivJEv
簡短交代完，他便轉身離去，連一句多餘的話都沒有。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDBkmUuJBM
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……58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzkQF1OSlQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EEjAhSNTN
但眼前的景象讓我微微一怔——58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUSzWVxSyo
房間裡已經坐滿了人！58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek7Ou0SwGp
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCFCUx5FB
我迅速掃了一眼，粗略估算，這裡至少有四十幾個人。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WdmN575iZ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7XJHvo9PF
我悄悄尋找座位，最後排還剩下一個空位，我走過去坐下。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Ll4rheHV
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVikIISuc4p
「又來一個人……還要等多久？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGleWLMANZ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70bvs1z7J
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。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAj44fL37l
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6JBIFucS6
「我也等很久了……要不找個人問問？」旁邊的人嘆道。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuS0k7jb4t
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi0cKhHGZP
「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。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZfsLVfaS
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ArjelXtc
「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！」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQhxkHUNvL
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJ4IuleVz
坐我旁邊的大叔怨聲載道，語氣裡滿是不耐與無奈。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJJAwllS4
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyz1QoAMcj
「他……也是為了錢？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYndqJ9pzs
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqiRLWNeS5
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。
