2161年2月19日，早上八點，黑教堂，北棟527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrmz9YPnIM
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzReE39zHm
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhR5XEiKaB
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgJuoen3x
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07P8gp7JLv
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k7QZZSQ2p
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4h4RGM800
「扣、扣。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEWyXjX7cy
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW286fEVZ5k
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKLfQ8Z4fT
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcHq0zIoZd
「早安。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrNFACFTBk
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZKIroLc2T
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhE4aNEzzK
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68NeCjkMXn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9dNoIFnZb
「還真冷漠啊。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32I6dUmK7y
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagBmxeZDnv
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NOgRf2YDE
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9ju53Eoo
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBH4IfzZ5I
「你昨晚沒經過我允許，就讓我睡著了。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ba8HtMojj
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQpHPezvf
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnL96kkc7A
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOGd5xaRlK
「小天使，妳該慶幸我只是讓妳睡著，不要跟我鬧脾氣。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtj9YXJTde
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJac8XSrDG6
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsLLHKJbh0
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi1Y1fyUsR
「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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouc4TN3ktJ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQeUVkioN
「……。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvReW85Kc89
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrL6Nl3bYT
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFoyxD3Fza

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr7YL9fUbF
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEySr1d0Id4

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5e27AEQHo
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9HqK6nyLs
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D5FiDGiv7
檸檬用頻道問羅笙：「為什麼有『網路搜尋紀錄』？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYgqmWbzq1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcdifoX7Hr
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom1wOruqAU
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKf9vu7pd
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？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8TOxX2qfD
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZYGjyBrdv
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：527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiURJLPUCx4

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELh1YiT4E5
──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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0qX0JQrT
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiRsGVotbi
「早安，冰河叔叔。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUMKQQKTq
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMqbVl2W7P
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Sbc4eFK6
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v6VjRUOgk
「咦？這位莫非是……？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyJlWOZyaK
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnCE64MOYZ
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUrK7ZEcP
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0krHszFnB
「啊！我想起來了，是雪檸姑姑的女兒！」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmlHX4pbJM
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSA65mHgaW
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQX9jOhHLo
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFSjArO8RQ
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3rd3yy5z1

……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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqOYFLjCSR

「冰河叔叔負責照顧這孩子嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5kfjTRzcE
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIlkaH6sV
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7o9N6WVBV
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ596gsKb9t
「嗯。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5zywtfDim
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqoNITAQkB
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpykJEUgkd
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tcjYnybC
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5MUzMLd2y
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOHHXZ0TKQ
「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！」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAtj2YmnVS
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Bcic6LcM
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw6DpoClcy
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7fJSbRN9v
那麼，賴梓柔是怎麼回事？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRKJmpydSB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVwDMuB1MC
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？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJsWMJIT2i
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOU1ed00N
「不過，想想也真划算。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU120va3OOH
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzoGuk7U9w
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSlx26j5d8

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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrUY1EN3Hj
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN2VhXXrLU
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxZ8JiCjM
為什麼？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAlsO783N9

那個人──賴梓綾，是你的妹妹啊。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIwXZ4o6J2

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB9mKYnuV6
「梓威。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZF2jdOZoz
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgL7locxVc
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmtMlsy9nm
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt6ly2IG21
「啊，抱歉。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOlG5BVd69
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJavSz06S
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWHYHUcOt
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNQwMdAFdG
「冰河叔叔，我先去餐廳了。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe2nxzABTn

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4JO7k9NNR
只有這樣？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRMWHzgqbB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCV9tOLVC1
說自己的妹妹骯髒、是惡魔，還說很划算。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNcawCWGeO
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQzR3btlRK

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6NT2Do17
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0BQ5FzGj
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtLQOElnRJ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKP2lWvu1S
「不用在意他的話。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrP38jSyAE
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSRgP5UOUb
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Gjzx8hoe
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KegdSyThF

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5HFUo8fJ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0SODw14x
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？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR14wFUuze
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ5bOiz0Va
你也覺得，水果塔是罪惡的存在，是需要被抹殺掉的基因嗎？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsO5KXRupC
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGTwMLmgr
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNmlLsFuqr
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLoMdrblS
「走吧，我們也去餐廳，妳應該餓了。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUS432xbbB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWGGeieZRf
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYV83bIdNa
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGUKUvsTKl
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaBYb8oMA5
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pcaTRSe15
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZlS8htchB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ba7lWuBEm
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGGkuSpLxR
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbu5NO9U6e
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK7LinocsD
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtWkwPm1uw
「坐下吧。」賴冰河跟檸檬說。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZnexOwCU8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmNMgsgRF
「請問，」檸檬第一次主動搭話：「你們都是這樣，大家一起吃飯？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3L3nk5ewo
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tvBotHykq
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYqhqqCvg1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRPHDwpbl0
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhKn1xb1Nt
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSJ7Wtqh9
「所謂例外，是賴梓柔嗎？」檸檬問。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH2jShWIfN
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6MqxhdmJm
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K1W18hhsU
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3uKmHrc4
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbTbp8wpGn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAMKMXf8dQ
「還有人沒到嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLiNxWl1n
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy99Sx3Ijr
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcgv089mej
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ujNnUzPq
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyA6H1OA01
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46rfN2ynaa
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqaDXO5Wy
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSVKffbpE
「那麼，我們開始吧。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLYHEdNF0m
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqAGIu7Je5
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGFc3ZvBls
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMydrn4YI8

527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AL4QbZG4z
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDWarySnCq
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQMzRQBz1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj2CYCnNzL
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9trT13iRD
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrro1bq210
「妳不吃嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu9dYewAb1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9gIbHh2r6
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseq1EwSs2C
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVG02q3KDi
「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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeVLGQvrJF
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam1cWxQWlp
賴冰河在心裡痛罵自己，哪有人用這麼爛的問句開話題！527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeW8Eixigw
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPcLwOayod
「沒有。」檸檬只是搖頭，「不習慣。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHySb39xyL
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSFtcOviCL
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0o1YopDHz

「哪裡不習慣？」解決掉煩人的視線，賴冰河才問檸檬。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Gmf25RJD
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQFxaXa6bp
「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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XvTWcPyo
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72F83ozA4Y
「妳沒有受洗，跟著禱告也沒意義。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpPs6yDyRA
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JAASAfJx
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqhhRkTxn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzxT2qB8qh
「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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxk3cCdoou
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ15nE6Xmv
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcXL46Ful8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ6b7b4QHy
「上課？」檸檬微愣，「我也要？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTibcwAmNJ0
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vJqnhdxI
「『學齡前教育』。」賴冰河也微愣，「神與畜沒有嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM81dUQZEYf
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpHr0dzC7b
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUE0HQ3GTm
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMNNfVhN1i
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUwFv3Fmj9
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGRsZFp8k
「……。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ5CpGuoeK
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpYPHLxiT4
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？527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaSI3gyeI1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItx7N8VDB
「你們在聊什麼，能讓我加入嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiUy2ETQsL
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4rVMcgjZ
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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKMcetzYGh
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVDdu8m7cD
「謝謝，非常好吃。」檸檬表示：「但不夠甜。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhy8tjtzOn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPytlYiS1u
「不夠甜？」賴霜原很驚訝，「不是有楓糖嗎？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl92tvCxqI
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW42smWXKs
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvWM30kBuQ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uP5n5bYtx
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnWWfs4IEU
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FDy0y48mT
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMc5TUAVUi
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEM83UbdO
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JDAWH8BIz
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8VZrbKcGD
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？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VEBNIEnt
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rQAIDBN5N
「上課的事。」賴冰河順便問：「哥，她要從哪階段的課程開始？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQIsXevy3
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwe1pxRXTI
賴霜原想了想，拋出令人驚訝的答案：「都不需要。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumWlKlA8UT
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSbahGHU9
「啊？」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFZ7O0kXaW
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedMQ7ECnLQ
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGO6yygihG
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xUha6KbLs
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：527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSRLR6rvL2
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3a1AhJ68u
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNnJ9vuxDQ
「雪檸會和老家聯絡，高宇維允許她這麼做。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqwmTTy0x8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLpT3YFtHr
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzA6yEL33o
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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2VjxTgGYb
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz4vlsRj1y
「『現在的』？」聽到關鍵字，檸檬在頻道反問。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UerdJPmcu
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFqt5sGvl0
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWnjDVKgG
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj815mCWza
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GIRuoenk8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKubAaMFI9D
「所以，」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NzGOXLdr4
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5ualm0zsD
和藹的聲音讓檸檬回到現實。賴霜原同時和兩人說：527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2B77rb0q
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i27GYOukK
「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。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk8iMd5yQ2
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83N8cBNMK
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。527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsKmYB5WnC
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE4LIHJ9nu
「我知道了，謝謝大舅舅。」527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRrYJueIA7
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIZWAgAnFQ
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 protection523ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf0RXVWdOU 維尼
