2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTRfGp7lR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNOKvTNaGy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpynL6BSO8
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrpAnoawNV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM04dVdOpH
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocIQz3tLiL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn55Pw67AU
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiMkEDKukv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsdjHwK9u
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM3CvJSrfl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtBnew5xR
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJye3aELQeu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvRtAz78l8
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzqCMNt84B
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbP6BTOM5
「……為什麼？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGBwnsY3ag
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpkn8KVfIp
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK0d3ZIjOP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLo5IACmkz
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80VN2Ef0N4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnc7yBZNi4
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMPe2WFm30
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnSR3GC4ps
「我說了，是因為宗教。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Xb53qfQT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZi3ppjNm7
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！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgSp4xYpXA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBeKyLvkFS
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthPMNuvoK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dJwwos9k
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8G89OrWLH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvePkLlCEK
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2paTF6y3H
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTFPITYRLV
「……我不要。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEV1br84Qz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjycrBw98L
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu5BvgLInh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIcgtcvDz
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hbJLwslPA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavaGRQiuoL
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVdmtPYrjg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAu2H4sL02
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hbFo7dpLk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUYw9eokk
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSMvnuabS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4zUU0OxQ
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ0tbADCho
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18BV9P5Oyz
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJKVQdOzZy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lixuZgu4f
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4838dOqD
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EPNlQaBRD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG5Bauts19
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2QrqwxgT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWVju774fE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY93GVY69eO
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEe96Rwbal
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnNs6As3tf
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8J0AR7asy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zb0zaPBJx
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXBqw6bFAZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4fNqj3wP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDexLXGjnVd
「你說什麼！？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPrsQxZph5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglCNtOluE0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorB8vmXdfm
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？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybPLQqYfWk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q2YXI7yoP
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCCE3LcTuZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VXRxc0tqm
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSljgFBuw2M
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n75I7cNQL
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUTWa8bAx9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhW9m5Ya59
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0n3Lm147E
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKe6ZhIOd8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbM0HVY9Kq
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogB7jUU3OO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeNmeAdPPQ
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFBO9Ubj1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjezubxcDKw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbozDNStXW
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYHxSjSve9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs2UFCn6XR
「……！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnHrEVifBS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNe6dOzkF4
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiofuW02nT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X8NuhTOwZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGGtasfNS
「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……」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2Hmbexy8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3wwKUvRH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtilm4OqhN
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dcplejMaU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FRX577hbC
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQYHEyOKO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJnGyQWu1R
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf6rReSJD0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lD3TZacCo
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGJHPpbHz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuRgtrkVR
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrIFF72DXV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjJMPJXnm
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQWCDDO0z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkhNOUlCfR
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW3qDlDsmb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy2EIEFiQK
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx7EErUVOI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1qVL0gTmZ
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrbtiUHn1G
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN06Ywwg3K
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaHloIYZzd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR27PuZpgz
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7qzaT4exP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5fNyxp9F
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU05l4lUhMT
為什麼？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5Sww8mVT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpuDw280w
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaRTB3oalw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b79YaWD7Z
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKyLKIVh6p
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXusyaIEBJF
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ndcv2ccA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEu226FnkD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsG30T2dbz
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2asdbdptV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9YQIk3fn6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9CPodHjuW
檸檬恍然大悟。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpDMcq2dlP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS681eVWT46
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicQn7i38tN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww0QQZ0rLz
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqNSrnK9dX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbySKu700Y
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8GXRtw85P
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0HKtwS4i
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67e4iNxKhk
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dHnJsFzt6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQJWCdbUB
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEctzHdDX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOty3TdlXIP
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfGXEFfjyT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqW5ia7z8y
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpBp070fw9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK2RIYC8wF
「好的。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSFzdz9g4R
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvhvYK8G3V
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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9vOeXxvwX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpZGKakoAW
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs5bPWXT2m
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKObyPDou
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzQrg4WEJf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDKcdO810r
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPrTSJM5q
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPlCyoMbT
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LY3fan9KD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3mYPcBUiS
「……紅鶴。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLDoO4qkI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sNDuRLYeM
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhIfi2oLTU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWutoq97s
「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。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc9CQpGZQn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6iTaecNjx
「……。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNFaYWruH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgRblJWA6S
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgzOknskd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtnscAW3by
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SWb7TWua3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSwjfCIRv
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t8QPsBL3p
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrPo96fAUM
「……唉。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwrodv9lLW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKAyEJhDmx
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。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkxtUtFe6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgrjKnofPc
必須先作準備。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDZ3NruKf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNCCGoTBqm
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv36LZ2497u
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzmXT4cwJM
比如，機器人之類的。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvUOYgbh5L
