2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4K9lQl38M
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0YZiCtGb8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN0fS4ZyYy
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GyLgUFUXq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL90rZEMaZ0
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5RyBhIbTW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDRsUmYDMT
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonwxs5n4kV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodxWjaMcNh
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHKtWB9M4i
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SstxF36qS
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1034ytRYw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ3pQ0NiVM
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCRrzEKNd3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyNa8k8LQO
「……為什麼？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUXfgoYrDp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPieg5ae7Ar
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw0PpHSYXv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxMi83xjLe
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42JYlS5WpN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQxX4Q7FuM
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOEOGxA6M1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtpoap38eZ
「我說了，是因為宗教。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwo5IlrPG9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0BKd92qkM
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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97B0CHHZP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGruZCwAFei
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1dKpOr9Rv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXtzcpC8pA
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7NUvcEisl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygImWJ9OQw
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rRkWIgJ1H
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o7ajTUUVK
「……我不要。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kir3JO9GP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrhh4OfcE
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww129mGwTF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynXI5ess50
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT7joU1zY9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSfbjmAHpG
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AfC0rwrxM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtLiynvPzs
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjDWNZuUYW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHmHExvQB
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63pS4WDID
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA3YUOhNeA
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGYdG4fIzH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDFsE7025c
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgnlMDtQDd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZUYTtGpgi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQVx0Uvpc
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysUI0WG5Nb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sljdhGQnY
「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHGTVbNOLd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbPv7iqTa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08XuWVK3e
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3I3D4Y5zt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iy0wn0mqb
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gI3ucfnHW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeM4JP13R2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYp9Nm8obU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvpuxc4vHt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY0H69SGpZ
「你說什麼！？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOybzp5JS7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGhmFFPX8d
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG3rYlEysI
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？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGw6720RQz
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvrDw1F6R3
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHCJfCDNYI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreUgoEEdB1
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzsDtgORi8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnR5hdF2b
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0kLak3hz
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOoarkwvZf
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwlPxPdmhX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDjWKibvJn
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeE85s5Ivj
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cxlD1WTFI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wiGgIlau
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpeuQXMBbx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KJYiG0Gp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW29VnRzCX
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqzdrwZKCE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNciUtme3lm
「……！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCSbraCyCG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygk00RCLF7
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsMG4SZSs5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB1o5kdx5V
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8FyjEU18b
「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……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi93c1iM6Xq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFNGCjX9ln
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQs6gw6sWW
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WWNxmfsr
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxFtCrp8XQ
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeEXbxM8Gm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkg05dC4w
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3nzBXqLdz
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h5LDOsAMo
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoRkqzOH4M
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwPGaCa1pv
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMycBaWXDt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzbTaDAJO
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZM5CwhnAK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7mT7RJAYu
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblwO28zpdv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dRuJ1Wvi1
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeknNFVaeAC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Q3jODnLT
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSGsh7J5N
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUjeQgW4b
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HownzJ83J
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1BoyQkgGE
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vvnpKecN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi2e3FTCCD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHtD8hZmgt
為什麼？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhodokFoD1X
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1cj30PXIf
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3gxPhTrdT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcMThhb5SD
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ34FHS1PL6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEWsotZQ3a
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfo3nxzWPw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfOaKZPS5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHrio4ptb
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVooVJut19
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6SqEx3Lo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4K3YY6Um
檸檬恍然大悟。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwlHyKRSh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIok6zXmMU
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHceX82u3UD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdTg6c5NXj
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKduKbknwa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHt61BkCPS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQ2utufT1
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR28MWjYA3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9rpAc6CSO
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WDndXpgIQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscCUtr4Ceg
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpun4RhG5rP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNoGTvnLK6
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sGX3TmJvN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKq83kp2GI
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9dsipYQax
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui9Q6OXTil
「好的。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqBV7fZOil
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P6xj1XjEM
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cCx3moQRC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCafghjenmf
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqPLJByhGd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlb9M0Eitc
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zkZsUaCf7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx1OrYOzhr
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVq7TZ4Tjc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUOh43uOil
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlCanB9K6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SNTcWGHy8
「……紅鶴。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTXT9QHld
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSqgy32vuD
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyIBloulzD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37neMzKGeK
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oRoir3Wfw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRvvGFonJr
「……。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFi1eELz2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarOWb3Qhcm
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT66yWW7Fo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunxd8HPky
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYu2zqxkZW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nyqa2zdYw
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX52NOM0xe5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ie3W4K577
「……唉。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAsSB10QYH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhZjKIAoYm
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk3iQ2eqk7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrvRyB4bMg
必須先作準備。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnOD6fYwDb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YjdbY1Y4Q
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvXuHhKZVH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnFzV6OVqD
比如，機器人之類的。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciRc7StNeM
