2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUYCXFbPF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7xQNj0CV0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm1VMwJhF5
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinB5LmExcU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRDXndhuGZ
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGddOZdds84
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvke3WiAxiC
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Z13cgtP9
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIAmnQLMI8
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG5R6a5xnR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQes1wE4jYi
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhpRvNGYse
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CoUrKIIJQ
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P4PR8U46Q
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8RuCTkZh
「……為什麼？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdi1BVP9Fl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hDQ1KIFN6
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCXteippA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIF0mRRJm0
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldQkVGE1t4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu1xojPHm1
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6KaKAIQvA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsu4ZAMC6W
「我說了，是因為宗教。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPQwq31hX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2inFRWQJN
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！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUAwjXruHY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDS7wlTfX
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCa8xMJR8H
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4VpuoRt81
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gjeY8fxZ4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsvdt2kzKY
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeCUO2v8k4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr30j3QJGr
「……我不要。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuNe3G5WpQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkTAdaG5M
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMR1ryInF8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3fJf1UZAe
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05sG6ZdakH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcGPDZN0iA
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeGY42a4n
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFepdn8tVfA
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs1SPQjHrL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyo0oUKNJ
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmoo0iZ09u
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmHJOruLKJ
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcLrns5Tgh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqhl3fdnp
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0e0Ted34
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimw2g3VoFX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXuPvnKHvY
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjClxOYPi8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x2hM9ners
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnoNNxdhQW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSviRsJiyj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaX9WO5jXM
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7xRbqd5QU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jT6IIWxkt
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWvjMidMCF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj3GLR6TSZ
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTbrI9s4Di
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHLfSSeeEX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RsVTRnlr
「你說什麼！？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsf46di4p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGBGnMHGD1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmTK0XaO7
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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPA2Y0hkOy
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy0l91YSJH
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6z2QpcjHn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SSEET33VG
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyrAEmtJS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6qPjRi9Eb
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbfyfiZamt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS72jG56fG
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGojWiPfnaV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaE78KG1ft
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RHYB3c3eX
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw5o9PymQC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcrUHQ33VZ
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgkFIWdd0i
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp3qBfKiXL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cuYPnaKXp
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrLnKu1nk2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpOAhmHJdY
「……！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMeC4mcfq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3TxWitV7Y
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUmx6Ljb7s
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83q1WJEI6j
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXuk4WzhpB
「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……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcNK7zZzh5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQXjhCEb4c
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4BngfvYS
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNLJoXBqa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHs75R0tBQ
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgooBgmBg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGepwIHQTfA
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEyqOzfk19
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11Ry37imk
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3whasrsX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb3P83Nv8c
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkaOt5KlJZ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7KRflGED
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqybtO1No
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqom6tMXm
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpo1dJalnN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOYxZm4RdV
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydvAtdqJT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRuS9Nigg
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBcjdvgZj4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq4GlBzlpX
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWzVNYZI65
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9cwe62P3I
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZfMSTwBjh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte0Uukm2E4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBSbMcs75Y
為什麼？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElLm7dsSaf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxKlQ4DVG
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqqFltTBli
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSoxRH9Ts7
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrbzoFWewH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr13XzVyJwf
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1ldyEiO8J
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7FXUO4eVM
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzN8LDSltL
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6baGuC8S9m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReBKfB2JWW
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4AhjnbaBu
檸檬恍然大悟。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvlqINR8Bx
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0vBbrS7OZ
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo7ilrjVyq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiApxEo128
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB60pd7pzT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwzIENUHhK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucoF61sro
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxS1uQ3z3w
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oBto2V6R0
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjHUQ3n1QF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuf3pgFGrW
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m7GMGKgtN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOKNMzCg1W
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8c2h9qjLs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0EAWoCXN6
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MFe8UpjI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTROkX08XtG
「好的。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964jjInBn6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzrl814ix6
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pmhxdUl4l
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnQiHDxTu
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAw7hPaCKC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw89JvE1ZHj
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5itA8OegHY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhYTibmNCS
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA8EcAMdGl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykt8389oPK
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsY0ba4mSl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1RjeVlLVM
「……紅鶴。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJpPomOB1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4shUSpTnY
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChXMCucAvk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxutrsJA2X
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Sj1ZOXrB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSwUvcQ6sR
「……。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj3toK02lg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzw7LxKoTR
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhLtmrneP0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIR5JWUbmF
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuaCW2LFzS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6SQSOiNHz
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxIcTT7x9b
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1umVTRO94
「……唉。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvNsRK2F1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWgO4aFsY
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVndJxV2DG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dlQ580R0i
必須先作準備。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5w5LKpgxz
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrfA2VF35A
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSHkl0kWT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQbE2qYhC
比如，機器人之類的。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWTRqJ3SWp
