2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DZhO2nsm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalTbAqhu1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MqInfxmzD
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm8msDFK4C
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX3LaIQFoW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hA32CoGU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zm7VSzD1s
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SVa659Fgf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrCV8HXLRS
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJM9kkWYb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzxNVsvjph
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA2BZDv7JP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qk1XMrKM
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfjEukrPz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxChgHFOUF8
「……為什麼？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc5tlvI4fu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMOdj0nJsb
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxXZwz18J2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsqEKuPySe
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpdQjCg7Eu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8F2I5S1m9
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbngLNmZBJH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUuzQx89G
「我說了，是因為宗教。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMw0Dwruyk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqewIWY0M
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！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2wWTQBSl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy20ZDqzbw
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkG1NoxAZE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrrVAVc7o
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl11FJBPPsB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdYFoHRs0m
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECkeBvt2HP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1aZ2HSmT2
「……我不要。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDeQ22pTIB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAuusovLNE
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LbHXK5X3P
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO9V1xX6au
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6IXpPnVN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYp0hjJJTP
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEDftgoBS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8kC2Uhh8H
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEk5uw6Qpp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QskFUhVET
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWfQe5nxiv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9z7cpA1qd
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL92283YHBn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Clsl7bqM
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqso8BSogY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjewMssbXgt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGUwCKS0V
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwZuFyIlT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSXPVPOCeH
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBV1xAMuVC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pv8p9QHYc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBeMFS3PXk
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8IKbCDRB8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0YC5LZZye
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5popladL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr7IYWwsDl
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpOAyLcq0Y
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBFcMXbEQT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvnspiDRK4
「你說什麼！？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Al9rCZST
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qE3eBUD5l
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAglqUTL6b
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？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqihdU8oM9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GwRrpusa
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoup2a18OXf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIijffzo6KP
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yyZQeZWgA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay1adFZ3hc
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5bCo8D0i9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJkit5Pdd
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnX3slMUcE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvhXj5qWBZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGGqWVEud
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAaK5TzkBM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GQEyFSzoL
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dy8AKihfD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEImRNczKZC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSKPnIenRO
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip9u2pDaWf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegPlCZn7Ra
「……！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVS2khxCx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3byf6yFW0C
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoxsKt7Eqy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbkfFdrgoI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICo0AR4WZe
「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……」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhnyzAlp7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhAFAP9bJ0
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6DDzB2Rp
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QQmkaOYeq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSlGTaXeMi
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnB0ym4zs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bz63iDAQU
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOx54KtWDk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChMEu3qOTz
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdhINQJkS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W9Uo1pTrK
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiUN3zBTUy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IhlKp8e2O
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA1AKEFygm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkCOj5Ld9
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsm04fz0vQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSLhJCjGMQ
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXf5OEvrv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKoJ76qsR9
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnw5a2WaEF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKmW958Wk
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEgFN1InOq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIxuvrp5x
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yFLGs6uUG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtArUeAXI
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ7SrvN6Qi
為什麼？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDQhpFIu8a
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHCvl53Pke
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbNOFpcXvx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BK2udKPW
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaOyKVc8K
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEegqOddY
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOYucs2khk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqkOkWapkR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmv0XAwF6t
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSjJYIa0m
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3THn9PpG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUFkdYbITh
檸檬恍然大悟。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5scVeCTjN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC89KU6R8n
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBXTQfLaT3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF3YP3Hwea
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWaEeyiRfU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8h1WSqzVg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4pCz6ToS2
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4yhLRdfb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaVrFmD5g5
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxRoGx6Y5G
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrQ7ETpJt
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLD8hXTccK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNQyeVLHa4
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPcjBzgD1Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xyswelns9
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemXwhOYEV
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi9pe7SzLq
「好的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo04iOUAvfw
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB82Z0dSoh
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IlyMY1HMp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AMK6zWzOo
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXqgWkiIYG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeU1QZ3Sqc
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii4yNgiTuE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9axyjYpk3
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG5IQEZ2iS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ737vr0ugcX
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Ed4FfaMY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8RhiTDqq
「……紅鶴。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsVqvtJuHe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOEbkoLnRT
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvfwbOxXc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwn38OatfP
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ncdelprJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzH9G1WNK1
「……。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC86T3LxEca
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn34dowiQ3
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux153dEIZt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSde76EYm8L
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUuAVfQtOO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvthPiJgxyV
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3HA4TXUTl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8I6EuKGLR
「……唉。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKYp72MDmZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5U0ccBdgp
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK6xOmsglX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLHb77GLa6
必須先作準備。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYwPpkq8u1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbDgCsRI5P
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeJ4frFGL7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡposLFbupgj
比如，機器人之類的。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrvxLfN3tf
