2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrhzcohaBX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fTpEddCz0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmoxRPEtK
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPfaFxQ2sH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhYq289H9h
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq6WGhdr3c
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsyXeXNDXG
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06nSy6tVB2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVjbslNi9u
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN1jpGl2y0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdzQwaPQqz
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz2rl1McqO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvyGeCwEq3
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeL3xQMgkD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtkbCNVCIK
「……為什麼？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapge0CcC6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyPKBP2Fy
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjePEy3sQo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpzcZtnoU3
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVul9ldlOzl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OO1ApL4Vo
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkjRdKtgM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFT1heyzu
「我說了，是因為宗教。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6olCKedMD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JsMIVQWbL
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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKFUeDYkHh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEROoZyI8y
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoyez0iUtB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqtXfun3z
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVe3vOY2bp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jIDaat3oA
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDWmEt3EYa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QVes9rfZ4
「……我不要。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65cfsgzO8p
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrx5fmPrj7
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXQaC9JTVy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgyOu78DLi
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0WXrBtZST
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99E6NHJe5f
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCd4AKX7a
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oRhRLmjGJ
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE3Va0x3Qf
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0a72WYcVr
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF3e6DPlCd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIe8vuug2R
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZmHMh8aWe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkmsam7Fac
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb18KikDwp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YhRievZkR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1HuXBIGX
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TPHYqHME
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpcCBSmkH
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Qo27nrOu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeB93EblTD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ll6skBbu
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhzEIjsjRd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwtFV8hAGf
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HHxR48gNb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEeAQppMQe
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIUWzGrduT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAorv6Coaum
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLIiU0Yxs6
「你說什麼！？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugneuTcDT9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ev1sM9OL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrTakUA9Dp
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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzIkWNN4IG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuGveOZQoV
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa71RifMzH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEq9H5VUez
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKBypY4QN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfCcft4w0a
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6pF0fl1gw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMChA8ziKv
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYtxqRwSKB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44otCApbll
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEL4mbPvrq
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhCb8j9B1t
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zz285blGo
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFbJ0zdixS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWR1mRQspj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniGXgdawU
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtA7maRfXI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNS15nt3fi
「……！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28odHAHtib
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuy5pHiA2w
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ7WgyV5zg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZ4sjeMyz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzatfvAdnjD
「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……」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQWhAk3TJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSP8zjJhn4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIcETDk0i
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsTkVzImDV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H7WVixGau
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeHqA6fNP5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H4R0UTGzG
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvbHHkCzGI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5rMf7KeJj
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFDZ1TJ95
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvxI3cNO00
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA8GIZRTZn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPMVgccdBV
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJmXpqKLKr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNa97m5R7
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQVeknGGhP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9iXwCbWpZ
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPNzljLlNQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m0l4yYuDt
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2NJzM1ePb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5XQmiJObz
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF6Js0pC4m
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzUjhXMdNj
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx2rKnkAED
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XNQ8steqw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsO8nd1rsB
為什麼？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPc8hTHJuz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sHDnCx2Iq
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLEgYx0ZQb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rd2iQGHH
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWvSJdb5D
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpvpQktZCw
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro2C6cuo89
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0JIXQLFy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZGlWi9WnM
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1itQmhW9iU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfs3OGa4HT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9z0BEYJFE
檸檬恍然大悟。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoWHVYztLt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvCeTonRK
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXSbZneAsb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfvI2QbFnD
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF3jPHAs23
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfgM04WiqW
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21vtbKt1tN
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EeagF0wvJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoQCZ0U0Ki
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0SLb2CmJ9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg45QzGD9Si
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkfZbzZvv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDfX6HJaf
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1kqf4qoV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGZYKt87ax
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkgKFAUECe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbU3A0whp1
「好的。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtHEXNYPZz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaTWN6tHp4
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8a972PDzu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZo2d6GG8n
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMPhu8Tjet
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EiEnO6zU3
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl51igqhBS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIb8NPftrx
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko989zWqvb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpNgzxQKI4
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJcDhZiD7y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZdQS8AFzm
「……紅鶴。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qCSenzx2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNmTfC3Yc0
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1jbUHVj9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nOUGR79Z
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQju9vooZQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcgYUxbduE
「……。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuJkcxOOo8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfid7zjBZYZ
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRbolmtwr1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnpdjVqd8y
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJJ2mNKRf1
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh4ILSd5J6
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUYN1agYS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3kTa392f
「……唉。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2emSeZY6qr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTInQO91xQK
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W6FnARPD8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGo17rigHU
必須先作準備。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo0hZRHXEo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgAgba33Jo
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1eV83jljU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4c4WRw0Rh
比如，機器人之類的。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskkDMMy2kx
