2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHVgICcxtU
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VYacFeDf
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcZ67BOMxY
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtwUtN0FQk
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpS6BVzd5y
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8AAvLqYv
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QaAfopIXF
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4GclN6tKr
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Skeh5IagJ
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmodscq3yT
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmhHGKZq8M
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXaNVAgIR1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMYRQihyzE
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4VrUo7LYc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9yYwzi9Sn
「……為什麼？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuVJQbmMNj
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QUzAf1PXm
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEu6IsT1sa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3uLPR0YTy
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwcRgLxew
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoGu4s6xrA
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fgy5Npjbf
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jzB8C2WXl
「我說了，是因為宗教。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd2pZPxQXj
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRfojfr0ef
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！」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnHQqoJ8kq
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG2OMrRqOy
「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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZ6xIlBkl
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3dz0d2qW
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhbZembxL6
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtLBRjUWRR
「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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvgQWRKVD
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoMY7eC5cK
「……我不要。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAt7csZvLI
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07H1bbsMG
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTvHp7E7F
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGwVaJDXNg
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3g3y3wSat
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej7UyxwFoN
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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMJ5Q5M7EC
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiQmOg1lMy
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXMtlLVKNn
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwQa42y8fi
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEPv5BSJdS
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjfuEMfgqB
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBdcCsfSsw
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcfDXwy5jy
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQlQihSJc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV3FJEfQ19
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9RXuxL9Ey
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCrsqog8Py
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICnu8lt4w
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwxy5pWnDa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgQtmp9EUt
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2MUCeVBo0
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lMhxcLtcf
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4ecz0wz6
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYf4KrFK6
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZY0nwmfxL
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDig7ej8Xo
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC160t8oB2Y
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkbjUscKoo
「你說什麼！？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NWkGkLXoe
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxerXMjf5
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoHbjhVrZ
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？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdHYzEm3l
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemGUeJVKik
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsRXkSpcBB
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0reg4lyvuG
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd2n9IZcpA
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9sfLh3hs
「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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXkdfUH6Ae
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Ckv07sE8
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kKoYpH3C2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Ww9VMILv
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywMHAJEpSA
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJzGfgqfMm
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfhO4NmgY
「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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQPjFbKy1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEm0vK4ItO
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELphhBwuR
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxBe2vfU4i
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkn7ISUOOT
「……！」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMjTe9xws
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8mIJ1K1qe
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ys5QG8aW
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHS535kHfE
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx8azneMsr
「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……」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKy37PICcH
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdxk1zStwa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdLIEEFA5O
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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAUeklxfvv
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ZXHbPbaW
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkonkJv2zY
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnuI2Wa6rJ
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY7EoC0fZc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiAmiBhs0e
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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVkU1H2TyF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICqIM7Z6JM
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ34p6XPcW
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4tr0ioHfe
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qMdFCQ4KR
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKOZ8SGr9
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fSrU4PCPC
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgwHoVpkSa
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJndF6Ambl
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeVMRkfYwO
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7EX6zMAM
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99wjQOX1E
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauL11dnGSj
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWU99Sym2
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdvffLuaLR
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZi2mp7pvi
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctSA4BIPyY
為什麼？383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafm71Ajn8m
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDT9jghjNI
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOvFmD7jSq
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8IIP00cZZ
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxe5A8DUy2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6f7PbQrqA
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw126avwap3
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtoXA46Kaa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy1oYx2VLJ
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozjW5iQbbn
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N7gLacAAn
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKgNXcjKou
檸檬恍然大悟。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfkFrWyOaf
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWroBXJkdq
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwbLGpAbzZ
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJEQcvrJR
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjSG6Js7fY
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkTORcrVF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKq6dBN4I
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYQxKDmUza
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU0briogoX
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDKJhznRUg
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeODKR2ZL
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8ks93Qx2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uPJcm5ODP
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkv8Dkn2bb
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP05C656RX2
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUSV4xYfAc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxXemVdVuA
「好的。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaikR5QwfV
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMGzKBa7r5
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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMSTQz6NV
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNhCrfeY5U
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoYdjrkVZv
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaZzojmgMo
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9pjt3Zl00
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfl496moFN
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YXY4njG2f
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWIjmHnTEq
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwAytV8xW3
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyPfUJVWmN
「……紅鶴。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkyyXcsgtx
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9c3XP1ij
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUeOq0Hv0d
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr89ehm75fq
「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。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBRBGwHpND
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSxbVdMOr0
「……。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6i6pucZwT
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R4sWMVvXh
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9GcMpCJT
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva5JwJbcuD
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTYpfnX1TK
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ90KQIcwx
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8twMTBb8q
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9oG8h385q
「……唉。」383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLlsoaNEA
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgouLsx8z
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。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgySlpqm6N
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJE348YlZa
必須先作準備。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30nuqwrDx7
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtofwce0yK9
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw1EMiS5is
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T7qnYymnQ
比如，機器人之類的。383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAq7F0jzTs
