2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgkML0mBkL

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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfGPBb4Kf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaBoawiJX0
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWDKGu4gIM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjPQWbFko
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDJNbZvfel
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtOc8iNeW9
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtEoq3W3iy
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcb743R9pD
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoNFuz6MzZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQudMwkxuN
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIM2TpY126
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmArfFqdMXn
「……為什麼？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgN4LSMZbB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIAf7NM0ab
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz7m3Q3213
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYYlyu4Ay
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwYSdttJG3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGET23yKYd
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyJB5R34gt
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzy7JdCZQt
「我說了，是因為宗教。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzjRFET6pI
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Buy7gEd9
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！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLyveaClAd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoFnuLIpf
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJnRMfr9z
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7MmAswray
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXOp78nE2X
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS4Z8czp03
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJoIxQsvpy
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBbalZG7LG
「……我不要。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFjppQhSWq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK7UQMBYbX
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbzlrCqJfs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ8J7PFVa3
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzfmIkNxm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8pR0Ehdwd
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn5OIcKDKz
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FukO2TYu1
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRLqBqEq33
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPyOksIeBB
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2JggOFdi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiF3Kv15Kt
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbOMohEWqp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbkXFwXdTa
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2XpSdGITT

「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsOfwhbTD5

「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrkiJGhklF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L148OvfpS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXKtvXqa3j
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4JGIkShGN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSugoJuHP
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYXfC6V54l
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzAECTrKfu
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50KIs98yn2

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？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOq8ba5M2u
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltyEYfQK8h
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlhoBOvcrZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHq2XmyFzx
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZNWFvMo6G
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33UTur0tJv
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd6lqUDlKB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR0pMoEdw3
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xkBM2ZmNS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhg8AsqsS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrYekvhkVW
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJsEIiWsP7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpbpw8K9xk
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfvI3XuuP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeu21tsNAu
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGsCj9leE
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNw56j9wHu
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtanqGArg2U
「……！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Tk9xjpIb
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyVDDpfhIG
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClpnDTFOEn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI4i8xrZQr
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pgrbZK4J
「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……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYDpLtXCx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltSeS9iTtK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2XpDIE59y
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCthpSHJQHX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwzJ90FCF
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ONkqGmKVd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvaNzDgawy
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4fcaeWLjm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsaiauRjIJ
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknscLGZNZQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoGQ4wUkoj
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdQbtht3g
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4ng1CiDA
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWcpUBs0xe
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbYExpbhwJ
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9aiGJkHDt
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeGyWTnyeU
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNbuuBDYz9
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iyjjoS4hg
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDWQq91Hx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNfXDjlg1p
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqK9mOla2l
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DWGWNx9Ft
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLNAINuCY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHnU6tV61d
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lZLv2NouU
為什麼？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhv3dkahCN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLWt9rEhLs
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBqNabZbAX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1CH98qc7w
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R3QfScc19
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNg4bnKCQA
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3zn4AuV7v
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4mzv7Hp7E
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchKnNNpoB0
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJpvfbbsO
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsqXK5ed6I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2C4kLU0QC
檸檬恍然大悟。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE4LqGluFa
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpccwAiRo4X
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZjugoQZ7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDhkXXdoCo
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbdBz3RpEF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGIeo0Z92x
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cTvBxuCHy
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJLFLzx05R
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXmfhQmGt
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqdvBBcMX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCCXzq0UfM
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiE9uPMrfR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfG8ZjD3in
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJYmmIj2yD
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4hMVEVx6
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwN6WhZ39O
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHSyChUWUU
「好的。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90hBgGMr0g
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdKsKdogUz
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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmV0nBN5ir
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2tEDn938M
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8iV0W5aD
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGRDC6xEa
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4akBYb1uml
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzKc5QS3LC
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNz82jzef
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRAcHYOFOt
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMw0mvxXie
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvvQ0acqtE
「……紅鶴。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jFHLa11T
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDDBcMWv6b
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BU6sJbeQk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hxAMgDVBc
「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。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNTndEo7UN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhBdrKD1m3
「……。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7PnMxguXd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yz9lEwMNJ
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5uf5UXSMY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8JycHDGVi
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDN80OqnAA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnCw7v8e9X
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RubMKYfui
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReKe5U6NHU
「……唉。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGU3VOsN4r
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1KsE4F87
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。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhx2atsLm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRSSGie9b
必須先作準備。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ovg6SwcmN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTt28S7Y1g
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvOkYPNBcf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYPTkwBSVX
比如，機器人之類的。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6e2YPGE7j
