2161年2月21日,下午一點,黑教堂,北棟517Please respect copyright.PENANAiOv2dppuTa
517Please respect copyright.PENANAo1bnesJFSh
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwhfUWmqSvm
「……!?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAbfc3o1AYkO
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5RjlzionO0
賴冰河嚇到愣在原地,檸檬竟然敲了他房間的門、主動來找他,手裡抱著一本書,是薩拉凱爾教的聖經。517Please respect copyright.PENANAFaGbzHDLYj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAplrdg9t02f
為什麼對人冷漠、為什麼討厭與人打交道、為什麼喜歡待在房間……很簡單,因為賴冰河有社交恐懼症,厭惡人群與陌生人。賴霜原叫他照顧檸檬,賴冰河非常確信,他哥哥一定、絕對、百分之百,是故意的。517Please respect copyright.PENANAcny3UsRkw1
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPbHakA5oSs
「妳來幹什麼?」517Please respect copyright.PENANA96qwDKIhg3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsYhdbvYt8r
賴冰河試圖用兇惡的外表嚇小孩,但檸檬完全不怕他,看著他的眼睛說:「我有些地方看不懂,大舅舅說可以問你。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAmiWaJSp7D3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGuNBmwNXvq
檸檬一說,賴冰河腦中閃過哥哥的臉,發誓自己總有一天,要把那老頭的腰踹斷。517Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vh2Z9rmZm
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIestONqQLm
沒辦法,賴冰河讓女孩進入他的房間。檸檬第一眼看到的,是賴冰河設備齊全、高級、壯觀的電腦桌。看來,他的本業不是薩拉凱爾教副諮理,而是電競選手。517Please respect copyright.PENANAAbmd1ucfe7
517Please respect copyright.PENANA1p9cFlXcUX
「妳想喝什麼?」賴冰河問檸檬。517Please respect copyright.PENANAvKsdLDb21s
517Please respect copyright.PENANAZygsGpsHhe
「很甜很甜的飲料。」檸檬回答。517Please respect copyright.PENANAqjkd6YCIoU
517Please respect copyright.PENANAngJI53gDdZ
結果賴冰河給她無糖綠茶,檸檬很不高興。517Please respect copyright.PENANAkOTf7vlzVk
517Please respect copyright.PENANAxd7TnYcYqF
「憑妳的程度,怎麼會看不懂?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAU73zDQ7H7e
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaITave51CI
賴冰河坐在長沙發,檸檬坐在他旁邊。這個在神與畜長大的女孩,賴冰河不相信,書上會有她看不懂的字。517Please respect copyright.PENANAPsX2yrvVay
517Please respect copyright.PENANAr9pDbcpAxl
「我全部看完了,不知道理解得對不對,想找人確認。」檸檬將黑色硬書皮的聖經放在腿上,說。517Please respect copyright.PENANAyPnWZFSUl7
517Please respect copyright.PENANAGO5WsFt2lh
「哪個部分?」賴冰河問。517Please respect copyright.PENANAKqUeorN5BE
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4sKPFRennc
「這個,」檸檬翻頁,指著書裡的插圖,「『沙利葉(Sariel)』的故事。」517Please respect copyright.PENANABzVycd5CQT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj5buycc5As
賴冰河不說話,聽她說。517Please respect copyright.PENANAYe87jFqj59
517Please respect copyright.PENANACf7B0mj6tY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFALPzwFkWI
「『月之天使』沙利葉,又被稱為『Saraqael(薩拉凱爾)』,是薩拉凱爾教的信仰核心。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAP448Sxd8iD
517Please respect copyright.PENANAj1yICrb0VA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAtsHLBtaodb
檸檬說:「可是,故事的最後,沙利葉墮落了。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAygTV4pyjrj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAgf6RpWa2Yr
「嗯。」賴冰河翹著腳,一隻手放在沙發椅背。他不用看書,閉著眼睛都會背這個故事。517Please respect copyright.PENANAqG3q9IB9gk
517Please respect copyright.PENANAh9boXbelrO
517Please respect copyright.PENANArnbvEtaGYF
「沙利葉被人類獻祭給海獸利維坦(Leviathan)。沙利葉沒有被利維坦吞食,而是應利維坦的邀請,雙雙沉入漆黑的深海。人們祈禱、懺悔、贖罪,期望沙利葉歸來。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAAUfjwcV6NE
517Please respect copyright.PENANAFr4CKnn0vv
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKwBGDnXDCn
「為什麼?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAfupJlEVZUY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJmWMoCbLSM
不是檸檬有閱讀障礙。整本厚厚的書,多在敘述什麼能做、什麼不能做,或是教條規矩,「月之天使」沙利葉的描寫只有這些,檸檬覺得很奇怪。517Please respect copyright.PENANAku9gucyioo
517Please respect copyright.PENANAy7ADwLUCA9
「利維坦是什麼?為什麼要獻祭?利維坦為什麼不殺沙利葉?人類為什麼希望沙利葉回來?」517Please respect copyright.PENANA7GK5Vv5KLw
517Please respect copyright.PENANANCZkRm13ud
檸檬提出一堆提問。其實,她可以善用蜘蛛糖的頻道,羅笙一定會給她解答,但檸檬覺得,這是和賴冰河說話的好機會。她想試探這位「小舅舅」,是什麼樣的人。517Please respect copyright.PENANA28uEeRKXU6
517Please respect copyright.PENANABxYJE0adXX
「妳沒有要受洗,問這麼多做什麼?」賴冰河問。517Please respect copyright.PENANAoNo8mBFHUV
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYGZeNTN55x
「好奇。」檸檬誠實回答:「我討厭一知半解。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAd5VSkdjL2U
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPvdfKcxmfJ
「……。」517Please respect copyright.PENANATDvi1H3fS6
517Please respect copyright.PENANAqIEQjAa0F2
賴冰河看著她。這女孩來自神與畜,有些事,她的父親和高宇維不想讓她知道。賴冰河思考要跟檸檬說多少,以免她惹上麻煩。517Please respect copyright.PENANAmJDWeMkupI
517Please respect copyright.PENANAo6qQDJsf28
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8IX3Z19ffg
「上帝──或者說神,創造這個世界、創造一切。沙利葉來自於神,利維坦也來自於神。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAKkKon45Z1x
517Please respect copyright.PENANALgiLGnUaOP
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3otq32EJPm
賴冰河謹慎挑選用詞、語句,告訴檸檬:517Please respect copyright.PENANAi2HqDCUD9N
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuYGctwexoN
517Please respect copyright.PENANAS8IOMpzJIX
「最初,神創造利維坦,是為了『制衡』。一旦人間失衡,神可以透過利維坦的力量,讓世界恢復平衡。然而,利維坦冷酷無情、暴戾好殺,愛上了毀滅與狩獵。久而久之,利維坦不再服從神,也與人類為敵。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAtQgzhQ1bdj
517Please respect copyright.PENANA2X9zq2yhzK
「利維坦潛伏於漆黑的大海,帶給人類絕望、痛苦。這時,神和人類之王達成協議,將純潔的天使──沙利葉,獻祭給利維坦。利維坦沒有殺死沙利葉,沙利葉被利維坦帶到漆黑的海洋。世界也因此,失去象徵希望的月光。」517Please respect copyright.PENANArwEbWaOAZs
517Please respect copyright.PENANARnoyUvHchY
517Please respect copyright.PENANA5BjVOgrZ4g
檸檬聽著詳細版的故事,越聽越不明白。517Please respect copyright.PENANAZmWfPIEe2i
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPEK2Mcwn8R
「利維坦不是消失了嗎?」檸檬問:「聽起來,利維坦消失後,世界變得更不好。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAVSrCbnnY4Z
517Please respect copyright.PENANAs4uJP3nK8I
「小鬼,妳忘記我最一開始說的──『沙利葉來自於神,利維坦也來自於神。』」517Please respect copyright.PENANAs7pnl9sgbu
517Please respect copyright.PENANAyK1xFDRPZQ
賴冰河反問檸檬:「回想一下,這一切的始作俑者,妳覺得是誰?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bSEb7yd2
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUXFcdCJAHQ
「……!」517Please respect copyright.PENANA2b5nlayvec
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3X0ZD6XxDp
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0lo49zcEvV
不是利維坦,不是人類。517Please respect copyright.PENANAfYlsIcxq0A
517Please respect copyright.PENANAp3NTzCSCAX
是擁有力量,足以創造一切,也能毀滅一切的──神。517Please respect copyright.PENANA862fIEMVR2
517Please respect copyright.PENANA0oTlhUbaxT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIYYaJYx8Jo
「人類向漆黑的大海祈禱、懺悔、贖罪,只求沙利葉回來,因為他們知道──只有從深海回來的沙利葉,才能把這個神殺死。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAT8MsDfe2F9
517Please respect copyright.PENANA53XuvzMHKQ
「說穿了,薩拉凱爾教信的不是神,是名為『沙利葉』的救世主。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAgpSKdHYrvP
517Please respect copyright.PENANAYngdQ6HzrF
賴冰河低頭,看著檸檬呆掉的臉,「這樣解釋,聽懂了嗎?」517Please respect copyright.PENANA4szHtFgxTR
517Please respect copyright.PENANAe99UrCsmv4
「嗯……」517Please respect copyright.PENANAYS7k8S0LnK
517Please respect copyright.PENANAE5QZdCneuJ
雖然得到解答,不知為何,檸檬心裡的疑問變得更多,但她不知道這些疑問具體是什麼,只能點點頭,表示聽懂。517Please respect copyright.PENANAvTqxX8JoQT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAIPRWY9lrDP
「小舅舅。」檸檬突然叫他。517Please respect copyright.PENANA9c5u80ZEe9
517Please respect copyright.PENANA4V3B55SyDc
「怎麼?」517Please respect copyright.PENANANkYlAJbk2f
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8GtRKF1RYO
「你會討厭,水果塔嗎?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAYBxjCtYGL9
517Please respect copyright.PENANArCTZ0ZvT3Y
賴冰河有些震驚,冷靜想,檸檬應該是知道賴梓綾的事,才會問這個。517Please respect copyright.PENANAMkEmEqtnZY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAULB8zkD6yn
「妳所謂『討厭』,是反對水果塔,還是單純厭惡?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAVpHomcxuCY
517Please respect copyright.PENANAvCfl2QiTH8
檸檬很聰明,賴冰河這個問句,他相信女孩聽得懂。517Please respect copyright.PENANAP1JuHt3v3n
517Please respect copyright.PENANA6E9FITHW3Z
「你不可能不反對。」檸檬果然知道,她表示:「我問的是厭惡。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAjwXxblrZs6
517Please respect copyright.PENANArXaXcy4iVD
賴冰河沉默五秒,「……還好。」517Please respect copyright.PENANATvADTkEIz3
517Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xaq862XyF
「還好?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAiMtaUFTf2T
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuLuULpfcJM
「稱不上喜歡,也沒有理由厭惡。」賴冰河告訴她:「宗教的目的是勸人向善,不是排擠和自己理念不同的人。我副諮理的身份來自血緣,不是因為我很偉大,或很虔誠。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAR5UNatr6W0
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHW3QGky88H
檸檬睜大眼睛。賴冰河沒有說謊,蜘蛛糖的系統顯示:賴冰河是黑教堂的刑事偵查官,除非發生嚴重的犯罪行為、他會出面調查,否則,賴冰河都待在房間,沒在管事。517Please respect copyright.PENANAACgEvqwrZh
517Please respect copyright.PENANAHYz18O8CKR
小舅舅不是敵人──意識到這點,檸檬鬆了口氣,竟然把桌上的無糖綠茶一口乾掉。賴冰河嚇一跳,看到檸檬「這什麼鬼東西噁心死了」的表情,忍不住笑了。517Please respect copyright.PENANATwaYr1aXWu
517Please respect copyright.PENANA61dk8G3CnE
這女孩,真的和雪檸很像。517Please respect copyright.PENANAA4tbbeWJK6

2161年2月21日,下午三點,仙境大樓,十層517Please respect copyright.PENANAY1S45wFhXU
517Please respect copyright.PENANAPNTGEvP2k7
517Please respect copyright.PENANADPSNToWHmw
「神……?」517Please respect copyright.PENANADehtehacdH
517Please respect copyright.PENANAEeNiIVMYpA
聽到派翠克的描述,李晴煬非常震驚,回想這幾年發生的事。517Please respect copyright.PENANAniTTPzRp0Z
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhApdvtWcgm
「難怪她身上的水果塔不只一種。」李晴煬思索,「她對每個水果塔瞭若指掌、殺死第一代、制定《羅琳娜條約》,還能把水果塔移來移去。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAOa5VR8UIwX
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuas5EUCBbp
確實,白絃的所作所為,早就超出一名水果塔的範圍。她的強大,不只來自水果塔「獅鷲」,還有創造這一切的「羅琳娜」。517Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4oR84rIj
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsrZnhqZbU3
江云格翻開筆記本,看到第二章的第一行字「羅琳娜創造艾莉絲」,得出結論:「現在這個艾莉絲,是她做出來的。」517Please respect copyright.PENANACv07Ra7pR5
517Please respect copyright.PENANANECCjC4p4Y
江云格用手機查,發現在原版《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》中,跟愛麗絲說故事的姊姊,名字就是「羅琳娜」。沒有姊姊坐在河畔、念故事給愛麗絲聽,愛麗絲就不會睡著,進入荒誕的仙境。517Please respect copyright.PENANA3yhzzxQiXT
517Please respect copyright.PENANACmRYJGwbtJ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAwouAtKlDUr
「沒有『羅琳娜』,就不會有『艾莉絲』和『水果塔』。羅琳娜是說故事的人,『仙境』裡有什麼、艾莉絲會發生什麼,決定權都在羅琳娜手上。她是這個故事的神。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAlw0OExIogs
517Please respect copyright.PENANALEMZb4CR4s
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJBug6QMCt5
謝綠做出結論,同時,她也感到困惑。他們現在看到的,都是羅琳娜用自己的力量,製造出的「結果」。她是神,具體有什麼能力?過程到底發生什麼?那才是歷史的真相。517Please respect copyright.PENANAh83Ig75DVn
517Please respect copyright.PENANAx8bmgHynNb
派翠克搖頭,「在我奶奶的記憶,沒有關於『羅琳娜』的詳細解釋,我也不清楚。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAA0fMlaeLAQ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAMsg2MIHFul
「媽媽和獅鷲是好朋友。」MIO說:「媽媽她,很早就知道獅鷲是羅琳娜,只知道她很強;其它的,媽媽說她來不及看到,那時候她已經死了。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAA7milzgwcL
517Please respect copyright.PENANAJoq1uKLNoi
公爵夫人和假海龜的記憶都沒有,眾人看向尼可拉斯。他一直在跟體內的三月兔對話,最後也是搖頭,沒有答案。517Please respect copyright.PENANArvqBmuSMfT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAnQQCCo1GiD
「我叔叔也不知道,但他說,比『白絃是羅琳娜』更重要的,是白絃正在衰弱。」尼可拉斯表示。517Please respect copyright.PENANAepl8WDR6zA
517Please respect copyright.PENANAUbvZ6SaKJJ
「衰弱?」李博洋心寒,「她在謝氏把我們打成那樣,還叫衰弱?」517Please respect copyright.PENANABbMjK0FPFK
517Please respect copyright.PENANA8eQg9LraHB
尼可拉斯解釋:「衰弱指的,是她作為『羅琳娜』的力量在不斷流失。她的實力正從神明『羅琳娜』,掉回第一代水果塔『獅鷲』。你那時沒有假海龜,當然會被她打爆。」517Please respect copyright.PENANALh3FzxIldU
517Please respect copyright.PENANAaqEAt3mrSy
聽到尼可拉斯的話,江云格點出關鍵:「衰弱後的白絃,贏不了現在的紅鶴,是這樣嗎?」517Please respect copyright.PENANA60WeyA3W2Q
517Please respect copyright.PENANAireLVi2FC3
「沒錯。」尼可拉斯回憶:「在仙境,獅鷲曾跟我叔叔說『不用擔心』,她本人似乎不在乎這件事。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA49dws66kr3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAhY3UtyVkbx
「或者,」派翠克補充:「她知道恢復的方法,只是不想去做。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAslGOlxoMq5
517Please respect copyright.PENANA3RDacnTwWe
眾人又陷入沉默。好不容易解開一個謎團,疑問卻越來越多,他們的頭好痛。517Please respect copyright.PENANA1jKNwHXo2Y
517Please respect copyright.PENANAa6oSZmLBqI
「除了獅鷲本人,」謝綠問:「現今世上,有誰能解答我們的疑惑?」517Please respect copyright.PENANAtVRZBlUc1s
517Please respect copyright.PENANAL33JvBMGwU
「宇維少爺、里奧大哥、葛蕾絲姊、赫密士。」李博洋秒達:「我賭上我下個月的薪水──他們絕對不會說,還會把筆記本拿走。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA9lTKmCN1Ak
517Please respect copyright.PENANAsmoudoTV5E
江云格思索,「尼可的爸爸呢?第一代水果塔『書蟲』,他或許也知道。」517Please respect copyright.PENANATYDeo5LP5f
517Please respect copyright.PENANARvddeXO1Hd
「別,比起我爸,有更好的人選。」尼可拉斯想到一個人:「艾莉絲。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA3pJ78064Ar
517Please respect copyright.PENANAQmnNXziJqq
所有人張大眼睛。確實,現在的艾莉絲有夏悠的記憶,知道的事情不比白絃少,是很好的諮詢對象。517Please respect copyright.PENANAXQXijBYwJT
517Please respect copyright.PENANAOy7ErWAYgd
「艾莉絲人在夏家。」尼可拉斯說:「四年前,我剛認識派翠克時,我故意套話,我媽給了我夏家的座標,位置在B區,離這裡不遠。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAfAiuPy8Fd3
517Please respect copyright.PENANAShKVDofCG6
聽到夏家,默默翻閱筆記本的李晴煬抬頭,露出的眼神讓李博洋嚇了一跳──他彷彿看見十一塔的小少爺。李晴煬只有想起李央,才會出現這個眼神。517Please respect copyright.PENANAh9sbkrBmeZ
517Please respect copyright.PENANAO1BVirpRDl
「我贊成。」李晴煬微笑,「我一直想去夏家,算我一份。」517Please respect copyright.PENANA96yG6JIyWc
517Please respect copyright.PENANALPGcxbOQgi
尼可拉斯看向賴梓綾,「宇維少爺禁止你外出,別說你忘了。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAQZdnNV3Gy8
517Please respect copyright.PENANAKMGyUXqA5M
「里奧大哥他們這幾天不在。梓綾跟我一起去,不會有事。」李晴煬將筆記本攤開,翻到最後一章,「而且,我們得跟艾莉絲問清楚:『沙利葉』究竟是什麼。」517Please respect copyright.PENANAjyfgcoB9uq
517Please respect copyright.PENANAuShJUFkyvA
所有人探頭。筆記本第五章〈沙利葉〉,比前幾章都短,只有一行字:517Please respect copyright.PENANAJqVl36gpo6
