2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrEf8R4J14
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34GoQW58SO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaGVCGQ5Zy
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUCn7AFM0U
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxagDoqzEG9
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5cxxS82H
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPiaRWmj4b
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0opNB5dvFW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJELiMiAlk
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ402UVlQQhb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PNAnMQ4BV
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xQuivzTSY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfGTgb1A9Y
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9pao4uaRw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7csuOqgCY
「……為什麼？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdUAmzoX8c
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllp5igsWJ
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0I7Th7cj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6upMTNDe16
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0swADePEid
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5JyRAN5Z3
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VU3Guqnyi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtMDVKKpw
「我說了，是因為宗教。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0xhwjivT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnflzP3QEH
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！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeB5BvxYzN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYuloxkNCT
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rTQitZxU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGUyvAxm62
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0aoHV9XlA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJnF9OdKSq
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkZaieNfwa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarfcXVLOkp
「……我不要。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNkqly5UJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZCTbz2ItY
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKWjyZyEvQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko4OaB62PQ
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzK55KzcY1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFpSdGtO1
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauG4LwWH6W
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdtDSk5xdR
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqffWjB69W
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxdbTudhY
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBwa536zWs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWWozvdhzG
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sRVINrGMP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt6GbPd0TN
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil5MEORdf3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEW9PnjjFj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD2oZUvG3j
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLxa4xabxK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lC6R7h2E5
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjiGENa19T
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUk7iwuxc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkdGgWqtvp
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZen5ubXqu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozkkCt3svr
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYnUHtLcI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36sr4K0V9v
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStaCeaoVve
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJLVeFZEG2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrXfaTtSxO
「你說什麼！？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM8YnJPFJq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMES8tRrvKg
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fEqS0dCUy
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？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXoPaUE4oG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7s6kQMFH
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Q17X8juE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNyrJkFkD
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGZzxTZVSD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4R9YG7OWW
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypdpXGvVbb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCNGNvC9Q
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOZ0wOSHKK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSt3iUToEl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50nS6IWTiF
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYGf1ccg7a
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlniWbXYuyg
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdNLVAMWJ3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YSgZctB9h
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY9k7LsSPM
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5xTN4DT54
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvYorOWct
「……！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxQTXUNJBt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlriYLNDgs
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkZKYZ0AKE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAZJswwhJT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W4fcF8V6W
「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……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0aJXRAXQZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvLJTbg4N8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85YCjCSV2b
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIlKNWeBly
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxOJvijbpB
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LpIaKfuOK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6PpczGYz
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzwWDOgOAD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzuJM4MM7z
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Y9DnpBwX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ey9eiFZXV
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11SjLHM2Y7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqsbFt9XCq
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt0wx4twBV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTLpl4G1n
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjs3ABKEeI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jedXMcMmQ
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobeppKsf4l
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGpv52f8jw
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxy9kPMwMm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nCgos8sII
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOAbIPBqo
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNOQfMPX6
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlldI2zgDPh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaDOL5jcFx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQItVJY9ft3
為什麼？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AJgHzhgQJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOqX5lZPB
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZen3CD1Gj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48DClATaxE
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQcUbQPMN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIZ4aNH5ia
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASxw5I1YwH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvWyefzKW9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1z5DybEMG
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRhUbgr5Q0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxZCz5ZMQ1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XoRlAoQFd
檸檬恍然大悟。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdAZfo2vL3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh6T7NvNH1
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZClGw2SLIO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzAt4M3We
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUapAhvczQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtmB4MFmOA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiPPwbHib2
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2a4CsuXRb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZweESt75cR
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZce8GQMRaC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSzqKqpl1v
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSZZ67e9ky
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtQaHTzw6r
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBAmQapeXr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAYvVo8fCk
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4IV4NDuaB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7klbLinVV
「好的。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShW9hNIauX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQlB8KzbSi
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLpOaZ8WG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEjps6vnBz
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc36SS8qHNP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuClUSXAN8J
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjzkt12hNc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQJI7bK9EN
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE8BqIn1o1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObxxoW9Ef
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZBT1JGtYz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsp3DOhyjk
「……紅鶴。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PS60QxZxn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29A697kjRl
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrocgHK4czq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyLGfk8lYL
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQKEtUOWi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoknJq92U2
「……。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTs0yud2q
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz6SHPIVup
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDGBrUJCEC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBppF8Jt1W3
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK0S0bWLId
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8Cjw3qMK
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvArOY1OD8o
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3sUDOcvL
「……唉。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEEfLd6352
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQn4ErRjBi
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpcpJq2Wi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5l31N4pNT
必須先作準備。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UO8pw6Uhp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRSZTxGCa4
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCUz2CRXmq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ZKAV4ctr
比如，機器人之類的。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV35JhIv3TC
