2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgOacVRwdx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADqmTFtaT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQMU9hapf6
黑教堂內，有來自希波克拉底一脈、常駐於此的醫療團隊。經過數小時的急救，小羽終於脫離危險，但人還沒醒來，躺在醫務室的病床觀察治療。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqh2cQBBd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ONlJk8qY
然而，包括還沒出生的弟弟，小羽的家人全部身亡。小羽的父親──廖天恩，親手造成這場悲劇。賴霜原與賴冰河，及賴梓柔以外的十二使徒，正緊急召開會議，調查整起事件。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HHOqGnk5y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLlqWdf0rj
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvz8DynY9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZ4piDNeL
多虧修復系統，檸檬只剩皮肉傷，但她堅決不看醫生，因為她體內流的是蜘蛛糖，不是水果塔，她必須守住這個秘密，所以檸檬和大人們表示，傷口她會自己處理，想回房間休息，她需要一個人靜靜。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I1Xvwr3Bv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kc5cOwyZW
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TFYie8J3K
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXb4TSyB5
回到房間，檸檬躺在床上，把臉埋進枕頭。小羽沒死，她不覺得鬆一口氣，因為小羽醒後，要面對母親身故、弟弟死亡，肇事者是自己父親……光想就痛苦不堪。檸檬不敢去看小羽，也不敢想像小羽清醒後、得知這一切的表情。她真的不敢。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F1Jta7AyS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIes7j0r74y
「……為什麼？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjkeLe1fVg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDdMfTkdoU
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPn2VaQlU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeepXnEW3da
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx4BQcd8Nj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnbhnqesKr
檸檬抬頭，看向一臉無所謂、事不關己的羅笙。他不在乎小羽一家的生死，只是不想看檸檬為了救人，兩手超出系統負荷、導致殘廢，那對之後的計畫沒有幫助。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OQanGiVO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98EhYyQk6
「我說了，是因為宗教。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d8K6QaJnu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNuFEQeaGi
羅笙靠著枕頭，一隻腳伸直，一隻腳曲著。檸檬不能接受這個答案，她坐起身，激動表示：「薩拉凱爾的教義，沒有說可以殺人！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmdWBTAP0M
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7tPHQJL9I
「沒有一個宗教可以殺人。」羅笙擦著粉紅色的指甲油，告訴檸檬：「但歷史上，打著宗教名義殺人的案例，多到數不清。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YqxsXGOty
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vaYV0v3j3
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufumQB4UAL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp25ueuroHa
「保全系統早被我駭了。」羅笙看著他的指甲，「妳可以用會議室的攝影機，看他們在說什麼。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZ7mpbHlc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6XMoPoF6
「……我不要。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85oQlx4dqP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSzxcwrjc8
檸檬撇頭。小羽的事，她不想去看、去聽，只想一個人待著，等整件事過去──但羅笙不這麼想。檸檬此刻的反應、舉動，顯然在逃避，讓羅笙很不高興。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tuDMi9WUs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhtfErCJ9
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGhOxbIsaa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ne4MYIRNW
因為生氣，羅笙的聲音比平常低。檸檬體內的壞孩子作祟，叛逆地說：「我是你的眷屬──只是這樣，你沒有資格對我說教。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSHMmjbXEb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh5BTryV8G
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQzVNzy1Qa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMeqZ8j9Qu
話落，檸檬的手被羅笙抓住、往外一扳，只聽骨頭「咖！」一聲，痛得檸檬大叫，後腦杓也被按在床上。她動彈不得，當場被羅笙制伏。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCn4716HI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzG5L3ht7A
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnBUUZUy2y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIlbog4zXk
不需要蜘蛛糖、不需要武士刀，羅笙兩隻手就能解決檸檬，也能輕易取走她的性命，端看羅笙想不想做。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFGKUU1AtP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyTQHATt3y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVUwOAzLkb
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQnNmYasaS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKMdVF5uNB
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU9HgJBruK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfcxF1eBXm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enllLOasL
說完，羅笙放開檸檬，女孩癱軟在床上。聽到對方的話，檸檬繃緊的神經忍不住，心裡的悲傷、憤怒、不甘心……全部化為眼淚。小小的手抓著棉被，她顫抖著身軀，開始大哭。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjxLthYgVG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RE2kabZRg
四歲的安琪．懷特，這個女孩不怕刀、不怕槍，流過的血不比大人少，但小羽的悲劇，讓她第一次嚐到挫敗、絕望。明明事發當下，那對母女就在旁邊，她保護不了人──意識到這點，檸檬握緊拳頭、奮力一捶。她恨自己弱小。羅笙僅憑雙手，就能把她殺死。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhpQLJcRY
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYah5mqspdX
另一邊，羅笙才不管檸檬要不要哭、想不想看。他坐在床上，無視檸檬的意願、駭入會議室的攝影機。羅笙刻意放大畫面、拉高音量，逼迫檸檬去聽、去看。她遲早要面對，羅笙必須強迫她，看清楚這個世界。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4SH4uho4Q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5pK50puu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884PbfNswX

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdB1sODU1E
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB14OxVZynx
畫面傳來賴冰河的聲音。只見他瞪大眼睛，問十二使徒之一的賴梓威：「什麼時候的事？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiyg9h8SZg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJxuPpZdV4
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2cgQDkQwL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUHqU3nkJx
畫面裡，只有賴冰河和賴梓威站著，其他人都坐在會議桌旁，每個人的表情都很害怕、震驚。檸檬也終於抬頭，看向攝影畫面。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5OS1bngT9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwG4vY0ix0
「幾個月前，天恩叔叔陪他妻子去產檢。報告一出來，天恩叔叔就崩潰了。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyZIbFQmVq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnnJlBQZvB
賴梓威穿著黑色教袍，表情哀傷。他認識小羽的父親，兩人交情不錯，但沒想到廖天恩的結局是這樣，賴梓威也很難過。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSX0LpSb3B
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vr9n2Luaq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAGkiAjjKG
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFleUJHawR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TR0BaDKG7
「我這裡有備份，天恩叔叔上個月托我保管。他請我不要打開，除非出『大事』。我那時不明白他的意思，現在回想……唉。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYueexDef3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKeRqY9Fs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5AsrvEoS
會議室一片嘩然。賴梓威說不下去，至於賴冰河……他的臉色很糟、非常糟，人癱坐在椅子上，彷彿喪失語言能力。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYbehRy3ef
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJK7i5hft
「……！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqSSjsxRml
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjEmc6IT5s
另一邊，檸檬聽到賴梓威的話，嚇得眼淚當場止住。她想起賴梓綾──那個白化症、被薩拉凱爾教視為惡魔的女孩。要不是神與畜用檸檬交換，賴梓綾恐怕還活在地獄，被黑教堂折磨到死。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtOuwJul5b
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuKUweKaTD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmdXscmi3n
「天恩叔叔說，他不能讓這個白惡魔出生，要把小孩拿掉，但他的妻子不願意，夫妻倆吵了很久。天恩叔叔一直問我怎麼辦、怎麼辦……我跟他說，A區的信徒比較少，可以把小孩送去那裡的孤兒院。只要父母不是薩拉凱爾教的信徒，被收養的機率很高，小孩也能平安長大，沒必要殘殺一個生命……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI5K8FmOAB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DHpFl2W6w
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCbwPWgg4H
賴梓威握著胸前的十字架項鍊，惋惜表示：「阻止惡魔降臨，天恩叔叔深信月之天使會帶他去天堂，儘管如此……唉，車上四個生命，小羽和安琪是無辜的。天恩叔叔太衝動了。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbXgAEPSL0
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxfOsRyt08
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS6OoWIr8R
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco9xJCagls
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf7UocNfLO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiGJ1pjblA
又一個人說：「好險好險，要是有什麼三長兩短，神與畜不會放過我們。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDhllXq2bI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNYbLixKtT
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrwjeEUvRh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlysUg05eqx
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6Dyl0ZuU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP32Q1tbBP
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3cwjbWhHx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhJ1jKJ2lt
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk2AgozVkr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8BPGRJi9
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m3MotwHjl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGXZCI4GWW
討論的聲音此起彼落。明明看似正常，會議室的氣氛卻異常詭異。檸檬全部看在眼裡，整個人僵在原地。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhOtErMAMF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqO8xIxiDF
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNcJVOnln
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuanPcrvnUh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCWk9HarFx
為什麼？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXeRqjcfLM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE76yyUaAF
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUJePYywsg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOWVbbPo8
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm7x1PdocJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQdOn4OWJ
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls0hIN7GOJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylVwN2iuTL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPeIMtisB0
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrMqxdDx8I
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSsS0vPEuX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8hlwdps7o
檸檬恍然大悟。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xtCs7Q9nb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAcS3IckAS
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bjz5xss8o
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLpoMlYdU
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzU9tLseSZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixWaQeuk8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFWTHexfaS
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ53muznI9p
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2d7KairNG
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpHPUBusJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ZtQuhl2Q
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdsjnlSBgR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW9mpdppRE
賴霜原的表情也很悲傷，但他是主教，黑教堂的事由他負責，他不能沉溺於悲傷，所以他看向賴梓威。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDJfsMTP7w
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZaIbXMXOG
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zm6ju3KJk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbAqTPTiXW
「好的。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqRgIdxlIR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXHIPh792M
賴梓威雖然難過，但他眼神堅定，向父親保證：「我會把一切辦好，這也是我唯一，能為天恩叔叔做的事了。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndzc8iwSnD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBiVj4q13e
賴霜原很欣慰，跟另外一名使徒交代小羽的事後，會議結束，第一個離開的是賴冰河。他的臉色很糟，比以往任何時候都糟，幾乎是用逃亡的速度離開，途中撞到人，也沒有跟對方道歉。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8spfGCBedo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1vn4ecvL
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWKfZSvbj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3D91xwPig
另一邊，檸檬的狀態沒有比較好，事情的真相讓她更加難受。羅笙關閉畫面，面對SAN值歸零的檸檬，他選擇沉默，不給予安慰。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHIUCgYPr9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehoIiT2Pfu
現實就是如此，何況這只是初階。身為蜘蛛，還有更殘酷的現實在等著她，檸檬必須面對、接受，然後改變──這是羅笙對她的期望，也是檸檬的未來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLMia2kgmX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquOl4vG04
「……紅鶴。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs01ynPb1o
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJX9aacI3f
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeboovK76h
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBoQUoDn4A
「你可以像上次那樣，命令我睡覺嗎？」檸檬低頭，「拜託了，我今天好累。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0rg7Z9YdB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0q4dPAul
「……。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1KCsTDDzj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmcH6gdidn
羅笙沉默，凝視檸檬的臉，然後──琉璃色的眼睛閉上，檸檬身子一軟，整個人往前倒、靠著羅笙的手臂。羅笙答應她的請求，檸檬睡得很沉。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpicphpU18f
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQc5GuFTph
他把人推開。檸檬躺在床上，眼角還是濕的──羅笙不明白。確實，他很少為白絃以外的事掉淚。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmOCcviRwm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaGkkR6SDH
身為蜘蛛，檸檬必須堅強，畢竟他們的敵人，是包含白絃、高宇維、李仲翔等人的艾莉絲體系。她不該這麼脆弱，但檸檬只是孩子；也或許，她只是需要時間。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tfim24Cyt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2voFKjSDT0
「……唉。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgQy6eHr7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUGuteei1D
羅笙嘆氣。小孩很麻煩，賴雪檸的小孩更麻煩。羅笙不知道自己能活多久，能不能活到檸檬獨當一面的那天，也是未知數。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9JjcYj2R
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew6cAo0R55
必須先作準備。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNWMBlMyrO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9nQHCfNb
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC3TVwVQvC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoxPD7jT15
比如，機器人之類的。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1coEOOd3N
