2161年2月19日，早上八點，黑教堂，北棟538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4rQ2TPVL5
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNK5wwGZkJ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVpWNRzQ7B
不需要鬧鐘就自動睜開眼睛，梳洗完畢的檸檬打開衣櫃，發現除了媽媽的衣服，還有一件用塑膠套罩著、屬於她尺寸的黑色教袍。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP24yiiz0zY
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTISaFF4E
他們想讓檸檬受洗、成為薩拉凱爾教的一份子──檸檬早就有心理準備。她乖乖換上那件黑色教袍，掛上金色的十字架項鍊。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUan77Dszi
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SqPpR67VG
「扣、扣。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcYdmojZuQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0OGrQHuuo
八點半，一分一秒不差，敲門聲。檸檬打開房門，她的小舅舅──賴冰河正站在外面，依然是那張嚴肅的臉，與教袍格格不入的深藍色頭髮。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfn07mxLG
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMliiuc1hC
「早安。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMT9rxUhYI
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2n7lXjGw3
基於禮貌，檸檬向他打招呼，但賴冰河沒有說話，只是瞥了她一眼，然後冷漠轉身、邁開步伐；檸檬本就不期望賴冰河會回應自己，只能默默跟上去。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS4BbuUUlS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraZ49dd8t9
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CucaQxGMJ
「還真冷漠啊。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxCAIjEPVo
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wbg6ooyD0
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLy5IQvpn8
羅笙的聲音突然在腦中響起。檸檬左看右看，整條走廊只有她和賴冰河兩人，驗證了羅笙昨天所說──不論距離多遠，他們都能用蜘蛛糖的頻道溝通。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsSpUUgT7
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6fkHJ3cnq
「你昨晚沒經過我允許，就讓我睡著了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ShUYLAaQP
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSroqYwOzq
想到自己竟然連睡眠都被控制，檸檬用頻道控訴羅笙：「我不喜歡這樣，請你適可而止。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf2IXz3QmK
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8x9pq52rn
「小天使，妳該慶幸我只是讓妳睡著，不要跟我鬧脾氣。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE7vKKvlvB
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8tvouQgxQ
聽聲音，檸檬就能想像羅笙那高高在上的表情，她真的好想揍人。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XtfmAu7LZ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmDOvY7MIp
「機會難得，要不要試用我昨天給妳的人事資料？」羅笙突然說：「賴冰河是什麼樣的人，妳不好奇嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR25HXLCu1
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuQwlC9gdg
「……。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmMkkyjQa
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl4zL3H77z
早上梳洗時，檸檬就想通了──蜘不蜘蛛無所謂，她現在的首要目標是完成任務，檸檬不介意借力使力，使用羅笙賦予她的蜘蛛糖。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4cnoYAedO

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWK4cMyWIf
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwH8T6IvV6
腦中傳來機械口吻的女人聲線，檸檬盯著賴冰河的背影，神奇的是──所有和賴冰河有關的資料，都用綠色的文字顯示在旁邊。她一邊走，一邊快速瀏覽這些資料，看看有什麼特別之處。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCnZ8szop

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3TJLcC8dR
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kpjDFbOh
其他條目都很正常，直到最後一個──檸檬滿頭問號地瞪大眼睛。最後更新時間是昨天晚上，也就是說，昨晚賴冰河送檸檬回房後，立刻上網查了這些。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvb7H24i66
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPuNeNppI
檸檬用頻道問羅笙：「為什麼有『網路搜尋紀錄』？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCIJNmqpCn
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRAKejen8p
「別小看它，那非常有用。」羅笙回答：「人類會對人類說謊，但對網路不會。搜尋紀錄能判斷對方在想什麼、策畫什麼、在意什麼。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMiL3faq6d
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmStD6V31Vx
看著賴冰河嚴肅而挺拔的背影，很難想像他正為「如何和外甥女打好關係」這種事煩惱。既然會特定搜尋，自己應該沒有被討厭……吧？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk7IHS3LZ1
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihYeUrNvb3
就在這時，檸檬發現走在前面的賴冰河在用手機，她的資料也同步更新：538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl1Op7ZJkU

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcMpSiqNXx
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW4eB8uIp8
──沒錯，就是現在，賴冰河正在不知所措，因為他不知道怎麼跟檸檬搭話。長相兇惡的人竟然在煩惱這種事，檸檬覺得有點好笑。小舅舅並不可怕，也有笨拙的一面。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhM4f2QBNY
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7E1HzLep1
「早安，冰河叔叔。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvt4mUfIH
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9DWWPbSFg
一名同樣穿黑色教袍、年紀約二十出頭的男子從轉角出現，朝氣勃勃地和賴冰河打招呼。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix6pvZRqk3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6YE1YPVX9
「咦？這位莫非是……？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiSIryHWZH
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OXoZqIYSS
男子發現跟在賴冰河後面的檸檬。檸檬微微鞠躬，禮貌地自我介紹：「早安，我是安琪。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7b0dv1QAv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6mEH0rPd
「啊！我想起來了，是雪檸姑姑的女兒！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNI9sBErJu
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fU2JVkDHt
除了賴梓柔，只剩另一個人會稱雪檸為姑姑。男子也向檸檬自我介紹：「我是賴梓威，薩拉凱爾教十二使徒之一。之後好好相處吧，安琪。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeirdOIENM
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDy7JTVJN
賴梓威的笑容很爽朗，一副鄰家大哥哥的長相，怎麼看都是教養好、腦袋好、個性好的完美男友人選。檸檬開啟分析系統，審視著賴梓威的資料。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixX0jhmbf2

……好吧，人不可貌相，看起來忠厚老實的賴家少爺，興趣竟然是變裝癖。希望賴梓威不要知道李晴煬現在變成什麼樣，他會吐血。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxVDJ7dRRq
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyf3cTZq0U
「冰河叔叔負責照顧這孩子嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoMhwEJrxe
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWKcQP4wX2
賴梓威是繼賴霜原後，第二個敢和賴冰河聊天的人，這讓檸檬更加確信自己的猜測，賴冰河只是臉兇，人其實不壞。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCS8GUaunn
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGytJsuWHM
「嗯。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfyni0lXbv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R5R2AvluO
賴冰河的回應很冷淡，賴梓威習慣叔叔的說話方式，繼續用開朗的聲音跟賴冰河聊天：「真難得，我以為冰河叔叔這禮拜，都要忙著打遊戲。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveFohPig5T
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfFziHea2y
「這是你爸的命令。」賴冰河嘆氣，「他說我是全服第一，這次活動可以放掉。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH0jAqsuwB
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfJxleWo2Z
「哈哈！爸爸每個禮拜，都會去官網看排名。他知道叔叔一直都在榜上，叔叔超厲害的！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6UcEOZDZA
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6v0WNU4di
賴梓威和賴冰河聊得很愉快，一旁的檸檬意識到：教主一家的感情很好。不論賴霜原對賴冰河、賴冰河對賴梓威、兩位舅舅對死去的賴雪檸……他們的階級觀念沒有謝氏嚴重，家人之間能像這樣聊聊遊戲、關心生活、知道對方的興趣嗜好，關係非常親密。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTRifyVJ76
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RJycf30U
那麼，賴梓柔是怎麼回事？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwP5qrNNtp
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq1FifBxLU
賴梓柔對家人的厭惡，不是裝出來的。她為什麼討厭薩拉凱爾，甚至不惜與神與畜聯手？難不成，有問題的不是這個家，而是賴梓柔？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pggt7ZJrN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrsedzQDO
「不過，想想也真划算。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPWEHZPQS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpDMgP7wL9
賴梓威突然這麼說。檸檬回神，發現賴梓威用那雙清澈的眼，向自己投來一個真誠的目光。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eLUvru30s

「用一隻骯髒的白惡魔，換回雪檸姑姑的女兒。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA26kNTI5lz
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFc1BXT3Gq
「冰河叔叔，你不覺得這很值得嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fP2qHWRy
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOVmyqU6yV
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tchb5zu6C
「……！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxko2iFN13
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO0AmifHEW
心臟彷彿漏了一拍。那一瞬間，檸檬覺得賴梓威很可怕──他還是那副雙朗的笑容，聲音依然朝氣勃勃，可是，他不覺得自己的話有什麼不對，這種理所當然的態度讓檸檬毛骨悚然。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRVq7ZXAol
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHK7u5oKD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc3VIHeoLQ
為什麼？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzTdoncIQI
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMufpyeyva
那個人──賴梓綾，是你的妹妹啊。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgI6i1f1IX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7apWebLHaF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLsfQTwhaJ
「梓威。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcRhw1dVZ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkzsdl9sSz
察覺到檸檬的眼神有異，賴冰河瞪著賴梓威，警告：「不要在小孩面前說這個。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL6vsfwGtP
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNcJ0gKtPK
「啊，抱歉。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxZhwVJyFQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzWQAVy6dU
賴梓威這才意識到自己說錯──不是覺得自己言論有誤，而是場合不對；他不該在檸檬面前提起那骯髒的存在，他只承認這一點。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2XoKOXxYS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzHhaethJf
「冰河叔叔，我先去餐廳了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtd6iJmVZv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX1o99Uo33
賴梓威看了看時間，朝他們揮手，檸檬再次瞪大眼睛。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCCPLYfDRS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrXFZNRAP6
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VutNZ1eE
只有這樣？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DQKKmiHng
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gPuQZ54vG
說自己的妹妹骯髒、是惡魔，還說很划算。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66fmTJY8l
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxbbeuFxT
這個話題用一句「抱歉」，就過去了嗎？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklTIB52fwq
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93u74yq1Nn
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ612ae3vV0C
賴梓威離開，檸檬和賴冰河的氣氛變回沉默，但現在的檸檬沒有心思，她只在意賴梓威剛才的話，彷彿從中明白了賴梓柔──為什麼她總是皺著眉，為什麼她討厭這個家，甚至，不惜毀掉這一切。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCsvoCH2Zk
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMIrSbBekh
「不用在意他的話。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtin9lCUbyU
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDceF08Bzwz
賴冰河突然開口，檸檬一度以為自己聽錯──她的小舅舅竟然主動搭話。檸檬看向他，第一次凝視賴冰河深藍色的眼珠。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11FSFQrz5t
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImslmdgVQN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohgQoU7k5f
「這裡是宗教家族。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFeBVtMlSJ

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSYZj9akSr
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbVQ4PWCFt
看著賴冰河的眼珠，檸檬很想問他：你也認為賴梓綾是白惡魔嗎？你也是折磨賴梓綾的其中一員嗎？你也覺得賴梓綾很骯髒嗎？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEiCeZC80a
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx25tizDNFI
你也覺得，水果塔是罪惡的存在，是需要被抹殺掉的基因嗎？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWrbrN5hb
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHj1WvuX5a
問不出口，檸檬發現自己問不出口，因為她怕賴冰河回答「是」──要是這樣，小舅舅會變成敵人。賴冰河是會為了她、去搜尋那些關鍵字的人，檸檬不想與這樣的小舅舅為敵。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrnxnvDLhF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOODJpg0dWG
「走吧，我們也去餐廳，妳應該餓了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMZFL83aHS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJrm9ILtAS
見檸檬沒回應，賴冰河也不多說，繼續幫檸檬帶路，但這次不是走在前面，而是放慢步伐、走在旁邊，跟檸檬並肩同行。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00hBwscJet
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cJrl69WcI
來到餐廳，檸檬承認自己被嚇到了。她曾看過某部魔法電影，主角們用餐的食堂擺了好幾張長桌，同一學院的人肩並肩坐在一塊兒吃飯，薩拉凱爾的餐廳就是那個模樣，只差沒有巫師袍，也沒有可愛的貓頭鷹來送信。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rwPGYbDRT
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgLdTekdEL
巨大的餐廳擺著三張長桌，分別坐著男人、女人、小孩，大家開心地互道早安、聊天。三張長桌的前方，有一個橫著擺放的長桌，總共十二個座位，位子都是面向人群。檸檬看見賴梓威坐在其中一張椅子上，她猜那是十二使徒的座位，蜘蛛糖系統也驗證了這一點。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBrIGKQrCN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazDN7irOY2
至於她的座位在哪，檸檬跟著賴冰河來到最前方──十二使徒的座位後方，走上階梯，上面也有一張長桌，但桌椅和餐具比其他人高檔。長桌中間是主教，左右兩側是副諮理，賴冰河的位子位於主教左方，旁邊多了張椅子，是檸檬的座位。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYmMlRuBjF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHUMKz5y2b
這個高度放眼望去，能看清楚每個人的臉孔，同樣地，薩拉凱爾的眾人也能看見她。檸檬的位子被安插在賴冰河旁邊，超級顯眼，不引人注目都難。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfmq7Z1fc
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadlzYjtsQW
「坐下吧。」賴冰河跟檸檬說。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128PnJpvy8
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIP4M1udt1
「請問，」檸檬第一次主動搭話：「你們都是這樣，大家一起吃飯？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpZhUJKLi
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMta3H58kf2
賴冰河點頭，「在黑教堂，大家的生活作息都綁在一起，少數人例外。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ADjNxQq2L
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXivQTqn0NA
賴冰河說，眼睛瞄向十二使徒的座位。大部分的使徒都已就位，唯獨賴梓威旁邊的位置是空的。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIpVNjsZ3n
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcM7Ax25mM
「所謂例外，是賴梓柔嗎？」檸檬問。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYGEISYmfX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGrZwrspry
「那孩子跟大家不一樣。」賴冰河表示：「梓柔討厭人多的地方，喜歡獨自行動。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzqyygwqSg
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJvn3Shm3
賴冰河說得很委婉，其實賴梓柔被大部分人當成異類，礙於是賴霜原的女兒，又是十二使徒之一，大家才不敢多嘴。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplPMLEBg4R
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHhVKwN3a
「還有人沒到嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJWvJUGIaG
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVEZuwhDCG
慈祥溫和的聲音從旁邊傳來，穿著主教教袍的賴霜原走到賴冰河旁邊。看見主教到場，整個餐廳立刻安靜，所有人的目光都看向前方，同時，不少人的目光也集中到檸檬身上，這讓她很不自在，幸好遺傳了里奧的面無表情，她看起來非常鎮定。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8MNM3pHpr
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12sNRzIuNN
「父親大人。」賴梓威代表十二使徒開口：「扣掉梓柔，大家都到齊了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL29sUAjig
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB59iXu9bJS
聽到「扣掉梓柔」四字，賴霜原沒特別反應。現場除了賴梓柔的座位，賴霜原右邊的位子也是空的──那裡原本坐著雪檸，如今只擺一束花，已經空了一段時間。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsqbPh9RCt
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHRCwH4DV
「那麼，我們開始吧。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp77DFEgTr
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0fo7oTRL
說完，賴霜原閉上眼睛，雙手十指緊扣；所有人也閉上眼睛，額頭靠著十指緊扣的手，擺出禱告的姿勢。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc3MnDde4p

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXseuUi09
賴霜原帶頭，其他人不論男女老少，一致開口：538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lYa1Wkvx9

538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4AYpqshQO
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVOzMRs5wm
禱告完畢，男女老少一致睜開眼睛、開始吃飯，餐廳充滿交談的歡笑聲，及刀叉碰撞的清脆聲響。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWJ6xr4dX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO0CEK1U1x
檸檬沒有禱告，她又被嚇到了。神與畜沒有聚餐文化，就算大家都在仙境大樓，大部分人都在自己房間吃飯。眼前的三百多人一起吃飯、一起禱告、聲音動作全部一致，場面看起來溫馨，卻有說不上的詭異。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IlyGWDdCQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr5Z9c4TJq
「妳不吃嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsMQ5T5adn
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F9Gv6vZLB
賴冰河的話讓檸檬回神。她看了看小舅舅，再看了看桌上的銀製刀叉。檸檬沒表情，賴冰河還是發現她的不適應。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEn8GC07OP
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8Cev4Z17
「妳……」賴冰河還是那張兇惡的臉，但他放慢語速，謹慎地挑選用詞：「身體不舒服？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZyTvhJggW
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXo4OfUgG7
賴冰河在心裡痛罵自己，哪有人用這麼爛的問句開話題！538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGsYVhT0m3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN2iQ1A14a
「沒有。」檸檬只是搖頭，「不習慣。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JanlxrIei
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKwhpCVwbL
不習慣？賴冰河回想，自己一開始，也不習慣在人們面前吃飯，於是他善用自己兇惡的長相，恐怖的眼神掃過那些對檸檬投以目光的人──效果非常顯著，那些人立刻收回視線、乖乖低頭吃飯。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ9ZY9v2fe

「哪裡不習慣？」解決掉煩人的視線，賴冰河才問檸檬。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHLLZGlscl
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpNbF8ERkn
「團體行動，和宗教。」檸檬反問賴冰河：「只有我不禱告，會不會很奇怪？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRWErwh5bW
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQP6B3N6Sx
「妳沒有受洗，跟著禱告也沒意義。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1TnglWzPv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0SAwAs0Er
說完，賴冰河繼續吃他的東西。擺在檸檬面前的，是一盤金黃色、撒了白色糖霜的法式吐司，看起來蓬鬆可口，搭配新鮮的沙拉和歐姆蛋，是檸檬有記憶以來最豐盛的早餐。在仙境大樓，早上往往一塊麵包了事……神與畜才是對兒童極不友善的環境。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAL6kzVzaJ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeR0ufBXwQ
「那個，」吃到一半，檸檬想起賴冰河剛剛的話，「你說『大家的生活作息都綁在一起』，只有吃飯嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqpzQL323c
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpaXdhYg66
「不是。」賴冰河解答：「同個時間起床、同個時間就寢，三餐一起吃，每周日參加彌撒。平日早上十點到下午五點工作，每人有各自的工作崗位，十三歲以下的小孩，在教堂附設的學校上課。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpBlAU3fx
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPq2X1uVhD
「上課？」檸檬微愣，「我也要？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrmcI8M59r
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNpYULD9vJ
「『學齡前教育』。」賴冰河也微愣，「神與畜沒有嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CJxnUU3hd
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArh1a510Lk
檸檬腦中閃過尼可拉斯的火車，「沒有。」及自己被火車撞來撞去的畫面，「我們……重視體能。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaU4QEufg3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSoFs2GzE8
妹妹生前是Knight隊長，賴冰河能想像檸檬在神與畜的生活。在高宇維底下做事，殺人是基本中的基本，神與畜的教育一定不正常。檸檬比同年紀的孩童成熟，這不全然是好事。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuHCjGQ6yD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFMciMDIO0
「……。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9P2re3W5S
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJyAjqLwaq
想起賴雪檸，賴冰河的表情就變得十分凝重。檸檬覺得奇怪，自己說錯了什麼？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjVfr35ORF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqPKPJ00lZ
「你們在聊什麼，能讓我加入嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QgE8qCJP2
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam2ivkXCdO
突然一道溫和的聲音傳來，坐在一旁的賴霜原湊過來，慈祥的笑容問：「安琪，食物吃得習慣嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34qZvuFC5C
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEnOPHkgV9
「謝謝，非常好吃。」檸檬表示：「但不夠甜。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbPVMPqZX0
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb8Vv1MlX5
「不夠甜？」賴霜原很驚訝，「不是有楓糖嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJc57Xwt2u
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrdjFsGV1
「有，但不夠。」檸檬眼神堅定，「楓糖要兩罐，果汁也不夠甜，最好的甜度是喝不出果汁原本的味道。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx4tl561sq
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YHjn6mQGQ
看檸檬一本正經、用篤定的口氣說這種話，賴霜原哈哈大笑，賴冰河剛才凝重的表情也消失，忍不住嘮叨：「小孩子不能吃這麼多糖，對身體不好。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwN0nuD1N
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRDxKfNGP
話一出，檸檬一臉失望，也是賴冰河第一次看到檸檬別的表情。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPyLQoPXTg
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz3efdrxwB
「真令人懷念，以前雪檸也是開口閉口都是肉，吃蔬菜好像要她的命。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SNUM8clcd
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTLcRnnEW
賴霜原笑著說。跟賴冰河相比，賴霜原較不忌諱談論妹妹，也知道弟弟不喜歡聊賴雪檸的事，改問：「你們剛在說什麼？團體行動？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRhJ4swGDN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzAVis5iFX
「上課的事。」賴冰河順便問：「哥，她要從哪階段的課程開始？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbYVLTGODh
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvC2F8hLu
賴霜原想了想，拋出令人驚訝的答案：「都不需要。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2eihaokAg
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ32vgzCcHP
「啊？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDc7Z2fslv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMmBC49XgL
「神與畜的重心是培養。為了早日獨當一面，神與畜給安琪的東西，一定比我們多出好幾倍。」賴霜原表示：「但宗教的課程是必須的。冰河，再麻煩你替她安排。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pBFte4knD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6rDsRXg9T
賴霜原說的一派輕鬆，檸檬卻覺得奇怪，賴霜原對神與畜的了解似乎不淺，正當她在思考為什麼，腦中響起羅笙的聲音：538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oBFhqAtTr
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFOGNuU120
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsvHRAfn9H
「雪檸會和老家聯絡，高宇維允許她這麼做。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8yiJIVZdF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5aKro3f7P
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA621M6FiH
羅笙用蜘蛛的頻道告訴檸檬：「薩拉凱爾和神與畜的關係很微妙。他們站到反高陣營，因為高宇維不承認現在的薩拉凱爾教。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQTOrBdiB
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKUZlvWiJZ
「『現在的』？」聽到關鍵字，檸檬在頻道反問。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPJzT3g0UH
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUYdekEEC
「薩拉凱爾最初的教義，是第一代水果塔『睡鼠』──小約翰創立的。賴霜原接任教主後，幾乎改掉全部。高宇維只承認小約翰的教義，覺得現在的教義是垃圾。」羅笙說：「薩拉凱爾和高宇維互看不順眼，但因為賴雪檸，兩邊維持『表面上』的和平；如今賴雪檸死了，換妳代替她的角色。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTg1p2EoiB
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6j6iJKxsi
檸檬忍不住在心裡吐槽──羅笙說得事不關己，也不想想這一切是誰造成的。雖然沒見過媽媽、不曾因為媽媽的死難過，但如果雪檸還活著，事情會輕鬆許多。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7BOyJlm47
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdjvOkIoz
「所以，」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYetrQQO59
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5kic0tD83
和藹的聲音讓檸檬回到現實。賴霜原同時和兩人說：538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutZyfzCj0p
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukC7RGq4pt
「這禮拜除了吃飯時間，安琪都可以自由活動、好好認識環境，只要不離開黑教堂就行。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ159d1ObYrj
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQIOjOwn0X
賴霜原說這話，只有兩個可能：他是徹頭徹尾的白癡，或他非常有自信。堂堂教主不會是前者，賴霜原敢讓檸檬獨自在黑教堂閒晃，證明他不擔心神與畜找出不利自己的東西。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NDJc600H
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtuW4td5ks
「我知道了，謝謝大舅舅。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQmdkrhhKW
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhTSgQjFTn
檸檬禮貌道謝。只有兩天、只見過兩次，但她非常確信：這座教堂跟它的主人一樣，神聖、慈祥、和善、溫馨，及與這些光明共存的──不為人知的黑暗面。8964 copyright protection534ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidIVm0C6z 維尼
