迪奥的世界
七
住在威斯康星大道53号的老妇人推动着轮椅,缓慢地移动到客厅的茶几旁,她颤巍巍地拿起电话,拨通了一个号码。
几秒钟后,电话里传出一个低沉的男声:“您好。”
“是我。”老妇人说。
“是你,——海伦?”
“我猜,你知道我为什么要给你去电话吧?”
“……是的,你打电话来,说明那个人已经去你那儿了。”
“不只是来过,他刚刚已经死了,和十年前来过的那个人几乎是一样的死法。”
电话那头沉默了一会儿,“你把那幅画的名字告诉他了?”
“我本来不想说,但他用激将法故意惹我生气,我没有控制住,就告诉了他。”
“……是吗?”
“卢平,这次你赚了多少?一亿美元?或者更多?”
“海伦,别说得那么难听。不是我主动的,是那个年轻人非得和我赌一把不可。”
“哼,”海伦冷笑一声,“又是赌,十年前,你就跟一个富翁赌,把他骗到我这儿来,结果他死后,你得到了一个画廊——我猜这次你又想得到新东西了,对吗?”
“海伦,我说了,是他非要……”
“好了,我不想听这些,我只想问,你还想杀多少人?或者说,你还想让我杀多少人?”
“海伦,别这么说好吗?”
“那你要我怎么说?”
“海伦,你要知道,当初我不这么做的话,根本就无法立足,那样的话,我拿什么给你寄钱去?每年都寄,让你吃穿不愁的。”
“听着,卢平,我不需要你寄钱来,特别是用这种途径得来的钱。自从迪奥死后,你就带着那幅画回到你的家乡上海了,把我一个人留在美国……”
“海伦,你知道我为什么要这样做,我是害怕你会在哪一天无意中看到那幅画。”
“不!恐怕,你更担心的是我会在无意中讲出那画的名字吧?”海伦太太冷笑着说,“我们的儿子做梦也想不到他的父亲会利用他生命中的最后一幅画来发财!”
“够了,海伦。”电话那头的男人有些厌烦起来,“我不想再听你说这些了。”
“是的,够了,我也觉得够了。我刚才想通了,我要结束这一切,我不能让你再亵渎那幅画,再玷污我们可怜的儿子。”
电话那边的男人有些紧张起来:“海伦,你要干什么?”
“我要告诉你,那幅画的名字叫……”
“不!”男人大吼一声,猛地挂断电话。
“天哪,她疯了!”画廊老板放下电话后,从衣服口袋里掏出一张手帕,擦拭着脸上的汗水,“她居然想告诉我那画的名字,她想杀了我!”
过了一会儿,他平静了些,走到阳台上,深呼吸一口,仍为刚才的惊险而心有余悸。
就在这时,客厅里的电话铃声再一次响起,画廊老板像惊弓之鸟般抖动了一下,然后厌恶地看着电话。
电话铃响了几秒钟后,他猛然张大了嘴巴,低吟一声:“我的天哪!”然后发疯般地朝电话机跑去。
但已经晚了,没等他跑过来,电话机里已经自动留言,传出了海伦绝望而无奈的声音:“那画叫‘迪奥的世界’!”
这句话就像一道闪电击中了画廊老板,他在电话机前停了下来,双眼发直,接着,他发出一声低沉的、似哭非笑的呻吟:“原来……是这样,世界……那就是,迪奥的世界……”
说完这些话,他神情呆滞地走回阳台,从19楼翻身而下。
坠落的时候,那张和蔺文远签订的单据从他身上飞了出来,飘在空中,像一只白色的鸟。
与此同时,大洋彼岸的海伦也在一声枪响中结束了自己的生命。
故事讲到这里就结束了。
我之前说过,这是一个特殊的故事,原因就是——你听完这个故事,就等于知道了那张画的名字。当然,你并没有看过画,所以暂时还是安全的。
但那张画仍然还在这个世界上——所以,如果有一天,你看到一张怪异的画,可千万不要联想到“迪奥的世界”这个名字。
做个好梦。
