2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVp7me9DZY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFybXxsLwP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC1alAim3p
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FbM2JyBhg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGcTGDp3N
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdrBgbk4Cn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHPHxKYWtD
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmsMFL4RK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIEReNTGt
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eW12n8XMD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHydS9mhn1q
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ok4q2TWF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BSgLCw0jD
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2aFeUieZB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgjFmtbGZT
「……為什麼？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCDxMcxWZH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCDYgDwP5Z
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx56goMxA4L
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy6rfaTaHi
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUpfDp30kk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDK8d0IsDg
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSQijdcpl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGqcSwhWf
「我說了，是因為宗教。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQfhmLZmXG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkotycFcSTm
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！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxVFvVlBTM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYwe7SFqgr
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAHsjpCJmC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuklSj7jFLm
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaaG93Isyq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK50TpxdwC
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItY3WlXJ1r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpmbzILhYd
「……我不要。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWUe6p7Spw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J2SnwcJq6
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M4yb5uN8z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LqMTHoTYg
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAqlFo7tgf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZDDIyPrlm
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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vRrPuQBnh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVqZWXWoTQ
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA7EO5LrMN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOLxwEB83x
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1CqjlRmYp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoloHSlAQu
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFKgMPypO2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJmmzlWGsN
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Ez9qjBwc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKVHPFP4ah
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hCyBq2l6F
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPga3p5w4xx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zESXcyBgX
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtqQoMIuDJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbluNnussm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNNET7GrtD
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Y4IdW9JY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ7ZfmtIUu
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8FoIYKjf7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgafQgaktr
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSC6KSWNaA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQ7p5EAPR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eDm8lPtM8
「你說什麼！？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYwQGLHW8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLLKor1Xxk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMX3psPUU
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？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmvBve2c3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44c4axCKJZ
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4suE9Sugy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lDiNzBbHt
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFHTqLLaw7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ6yn7TkwR
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDYp0xVzxR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjCjfJ1Ues
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7g9nrD2RA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKvKG1aCpl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76DuYg8an
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1j6FxtjS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUk4KpSjdE
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8sIIHW00d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sFEFyZEfc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PmIiLMXss
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiPHTWy1EE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmAg9bmoty
「……！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtxH7KeTIn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzA2LZmZPB
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AVMvT0TZB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYuMxDl4iQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bvDbJNwBd
「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……」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fBTgpIfgo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYIb3cFUTc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFhfKYugO
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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAItbUfzoS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡethSBETFw4
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSvUqch67
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVm4RpjUKR
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10lyaMgeod
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquPjlfiND
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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL18U5llw4
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdci83wFiz
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yVhluhZHz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81OVwtenWR
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno8yqRielG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn5IQFPnwq
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRDFAzpsSp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVPsfAWvWs
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6fSDfFYk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMzTjR4d3Q
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6vA4fGJc7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49o5ESx5Zy
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRN1uChd2S
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZzT28SxS
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0PAjVbaNQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45bggzPULv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNIMYXZ5M
為什麼？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGcRU9WcM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFOU6RsVr7
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TAYfWz05K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZEyEjAKlo
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2e68itbiW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllvHARwX9L
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGahNv9ERi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH3kA7TyPe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklOO1M1NB
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPhxjAWGzt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8woGHMxShd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKa13DH7xY
檸檬恍然大悟。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GPAxeUs3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z79wLTKwH
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbHo7vw1fF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKCYEfgN8Q
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzIOo4kCiM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7khPG2XF1F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKCjafXSr
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xsg4gI4lI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5CVfbYOM
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zTAL0Ip3b
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5hSZDb0GC
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ1TOWGTf1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifH7Ldyf8W
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdf3rqSK9Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Oi5nAhRd
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN16zKiudI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hfy4CQgVl
「好的。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiOdNyDqLV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnwxUrIJn
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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxpm3w1iFM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXINC5F7Yi
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmEMiDPMq0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0JzBmcVAu
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WFhEZ6UKR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8M0aXJ9US
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEvv9gj1rA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJgkUa02B
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmTrKcmP7T
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIXiW2Nya
「……紅鶴。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xUbr2A6DQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR05FFks30
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdL5yewLuy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUELO70PhAp
「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。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng9wEyJsmF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaz9ynHS1H
「……。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOqMR5ClEp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFi0AFSmed
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhASSe5Izcm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbpcstxzTo
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl2DhBKq4z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qx7WvHsdX
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAGk2FKPto
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXcHUFxo3
「……唉。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IYZSCKgLF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6gMeu5zIc
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。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru2iwIras6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYd8eVXp1F
必須先作準備。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBbnft6oaG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ9Tfo5ipJ
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2f2hYvbQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDZIGs9WGa
比如，機器人之類的。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XQzZAC1e
