Part II, 23-30
00:22 二十三 向南進發 遠離人烟 遠離巴黎人的體臭 主角心神越發颯爽 他決定晚上行動 盡量避開所有人 包括市鎮 村莊 乃至山上牧者
08:42 二十四 主角終於找到一處棲身之所 深山山洞 欣喜若狂 高聲呼喊不止
13:50 二十五 不願出洞 主角只偶爾出洞捕捉蛇娃充飢 其餘時間留在洞裏
19:00 二十六 腦海裏 主角細味着往昔 所有人和事 都與氣味掛鈎 仿佛進入冬眠狀態 不斷縱情在記憶中的氣味之上
26:43 二十七 内心搭建紫色城堡 主角成爲堡主 放任品嘗任何年份的美味 包括當日的紅髮女孩 此後他突然回到現實 激烈嘔吐 生不如死 久久未能平復
36:04 二十八 如此龜息 七年時間過去 外面世界發生的人事 戰亂 與主角無關 有年冬天甚至差點冷死 也總算捱過去 若果不是一次災劫 恐怕主角會繼續在洞中渡過餘生
37:45 二十九 災劫並非自然 而是主角内心 驚覺自身氣味 仍然虛無 為此反復試探 包括他的陳年被鋪 仍然毫無頭緒 爲此主角毅然離開洞穴 往南走去
48:00 三十 主角殘破的身軀被村民誤認野獸 被當地信奉理論的領主禮聘 作爲實驗品 供鄰近科學愛好者鑒賞 理論雖無稽 然而改造成功 主角改頭換面 衣著外表與常人無異
