2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt53gK8EBIR
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGACfqcfhDT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw8c4ry0aK
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHehDJmXOh9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3bVYp8TxW
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVAGiKSaQo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhckMp2uPT6
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCSmGl0mlT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHt5hfDKg
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKFGPLGAdO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0DHq3ZYy2
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CatE4MRl0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22mjI7jUc
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgHybr4iT2
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkT3f2nNzo
「……為什麼？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqDmtgO357
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbxlxVqRg0
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLLhuXomP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUR58o9zaD
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnHahsqUU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywVefPtSjq
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89kKQqp3wF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEd0o79ES7
「我說了，是因為宗教。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhOM40WFQf
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SXgyjmPM4
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！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhywgfBTBaX
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiECqoY99X
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUVIDT1hTS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOKqfB0gF
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXALWkuxIgF
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTqgJEe5i
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK46t2OBVzU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSkO67sPU1
「……我不要。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29HWHY8239
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQGIgbDG1d
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzjggoD3P
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdHqcL4M6
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X4de2LJ5G
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfHllmwK1a
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oZuP4U9ZZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXVIZT15UZ
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jrbifJcyR
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M9w1JdLQo
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHHw34kP26
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAikIrMlXxM
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhccU9N72
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHxLbXhw5A
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGt9CYsg44
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPBD7MYrXl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGcAkAM6uE
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IucFGEJql
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVKy4tmvbG
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yzh4ys5r
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn5aFnDi9j
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdh49b2Tae
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5jhp3zolz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiDInWogvs
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYXnEAeAK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qUgW0gcyr
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjae2hFfbc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEleb0wixs8
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIQoSlpINK
「你說什麼！？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUADOnh1O3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQSvAQepJ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPEDcHVH1H
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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCwZL55BA3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSuMXK1lu4
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcQuFqwTXO
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu65B353ptJ
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1qZZKZms
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlpEU6eyiv
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8L6tAT7Cx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ose6uUUEf
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPFHfjl8yg
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuR9KysEhi
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqrjUjPb2S
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDENT7t6z18
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT961B6LhdC
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1G9hrIvh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4vdDzrI7G
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalKGcq3btP
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRjbdEbz1h
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28w6WDgkdG
「……！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1N03fwHvs
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Ua2Phtel
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT1GRauMLf
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bv39h2HIQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiwUx4WFXV
「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……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKClSd8Npu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdv2QqBBvP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkin3I6lhwu
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGVHGQUBov
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl5hkD8MdP
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFO29TzZJZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9diIMdgI4J
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISY3qbQr7j
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoLMdKexPU
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9bAJsb7B
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmHjIvQN5T
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKaIUpWLfQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzz58g3BXE
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMa3BnCXkw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyfqrokEXa
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkT2cAGsPs
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamPEjE0iE
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNTT3rACph
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqAan3dZHp
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaZLVvqTO3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS1Y2efs7c
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZNXMRkeni
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznDfjPvjE
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhi4T2T3Jy
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6tH4jB5nT
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5Ss8oa5y
為什麼？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLMvqqTEf
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUD8Qh3ErM
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOm5jm8b2b
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iND5ejfQl
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5XXeGcDkz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPxNKDnRLN
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQkEvCf3cL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe2jptz9Wu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjhttxISa7
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPelbTyNphK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHSUL04jdQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNtjsn4NTt
檸檬恍然大悟。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtg3bbbRyZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2w3AdUFM
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLziZuhXMoo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVIsD3wD6n
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNNNNKEeG
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFChDIPUSfa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufIHlECkFh
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx2GAvWHHZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1wwtXPFqm
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9ylf2PcS
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5sPZrij2p
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFQUc5xRs
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SubShc0zf
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn0IDFxhiI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hap3cUz9F
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnqBe6GGez
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidj9DBSzXj
「好的。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpDHj7wBb6
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9fQgqclC
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye0VymEa3q
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlmWS5RBm
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUxukfeS9
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDomHaYsdUK
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5PWWbRur3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wv3sLAX8o
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuuaHWHhM7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEJ7gtnNRN
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGw7cA6Uq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxPTkwTzU
「……紅鶴。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxZN7ElBlv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4mtoxJhk
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNaq9FSYh
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSPuz6sdTV
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PmCFKB9hK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQm8nECff
「……。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVu1BRglB1
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ895IaW3eRs
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW12ynVnzb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzRheuDGRY
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyrhlrER6N
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UI2itDl4B
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTO3ebqDsn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEU2Kus0jc
「……唉。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPin4vyWTa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16fvpzlar
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLG84NehrY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSjI9Ee2M7
必須先作準備。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmP0z86N3R
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7mhCpAU7
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFlEXOpXSX
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6JOB2x71H
比如，機器人之類的。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHIDTHG4Tt
