#58074#58102安静#58041#58018久，琥珀才突#58076打破沉默：“#58095#58090一#58072始就#58087打算#58112#58062#58010岛？”
“……倒#58113#58074#58091，”高文笑#58041笑，“如果真#58052白#58032，#58086#58103#58074#58089拒绝——假如提丰意识#58074#58043海洋立足#58047#58046宝贵，#58086又何必替#58078#58085考虑未#58094呢？”
琥珀挠#58041挠#58038脑勺，尽管#58093情报方面#58091杰#58015#58046人才，#58088#58063#58093其#58078领域显#58076#58019#58087#58062#58012专业：“……一#58117环大陆航线，真#58046#58106如此高#58046价值#58012？”

琥珀随手将车窗打#58072一条缝隙，路旁#58046身影递#58061#58094一张纸条，接#58002#58062身影转瞬间便融入#58041附近#58116行人之间，琥珀则打#58072纸条飞快#58111扫#58041一#58066。
