2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMUMfRnM3O

659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wSYQrwQr
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMKQpEfUh
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AGB60w7Wn
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS85R3u6iMv

「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD3xHgewir
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWMMgQMaGZ
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92QQPNj1ZH
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XInLtw4j
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrrovLtDWC
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWlXSaFiQQ
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K88TFa0SW
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzYsl2FrWm
「……為什麼？」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzIxI0GmJv
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uc8dXVEnI
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYVyAcLgKw
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1PMoZTHVN
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWXXEqlvUi
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLvzpt0K9y
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdYy8vAe0F
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N7PLKeVzY
「我說了，是因為宗教。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjRRKkFiG
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGeO5RKgjx
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！」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme7Y22w40e
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQHsPOOBZ
「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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQlokImpLO
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693ADrNdV4
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpSmyHM0EV
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXzb8ClZ4K
「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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYrR6aMslV
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhzHB0vtUI
「……我不要。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr89qWPpbR
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrThSlB9y5q
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnHsWktN9m
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtznfNNx0CQ
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogAElJosl3
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJUTpVzVBz
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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswtJGbnrR2
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7P0eyrta
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI54DQo2rz
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBglXMTFMrG
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqEdZlq54W
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQBZAuAB5
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSdT1HryPw
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjmFPs8jZy
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjWC4rTBQ
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BXdU7XMk7

659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOT7ls2NN3
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEpeYjBbb5
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB9H0j5Qw1
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFnjwsPuWT
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzrJlmuc4O
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HRIkARXEI
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqhedsIGB

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？」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fEzN6vGev
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW3zdCCJiz
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5fw2UVMJ7
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x3QtKgyVS
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLTg0FxT6X
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDkCnhqInf
「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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fQM2QlZcO
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBDkCozRDN
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORv82DU69l
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEHZEqpdLL
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwDlAAsEKJ
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChRVMnYnym
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtTihXAGKi
「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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbcXuXQTp
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLlKh5DRI
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC1KJK3sky
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhK8x98rk
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EvSZz6fru
「……！」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5AxUXeAhR
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0zXjma4C0
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdsqBAnJEa
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpg1oVi1gc
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVSyYvf5M3
「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……」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gCkHNiOCr
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkIJ3gZeTi
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x7QdMR8RZ
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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36fFqGeOa
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWRrU5SMpG
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLK3b6WgK
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPFvQrtEHM
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO4dE5eOz1
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxfH3F8Qkc
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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFgsoMdYHT
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgom78zenZw
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qr1fKhmXK
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1fMfGyS8O
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPn4CFFJOp
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblK4ls1r1f
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKJ1uotAT0
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10YmWIQ11f
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMlUILodck
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx0phqiiS3
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb47jMUq8Mh
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XmuoqXifZ
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoS3C6QVuH
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiVVDafMts
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S17LoOR7y
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ESUhD3NWR
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7Ei3dY1F
為什麼？659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3z6raD6H
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwuVd3bz0
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhs15ZBmdM
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc7p65iTOL
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZYF9MeWM
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Q3uZ4njM
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotUHCHkayU
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoz32cxkRC
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4L3KcZgK1
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySGkUmBVtp
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1MHZMu7F
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OA5kQ3hhy
檸檬恍然大悟。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBgmP41m5I
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk6dpb9PBW
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcAybwTgBV
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lFpjkurwt
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXMNdLDiu8

659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcqB9sdB6c
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsreOcIib8h
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKT2LqKUgW
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeB7XOgJrX
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Joxi1xXX
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HvaXZsVoP
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa158L2OacA
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2jRdgphOr
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpV8Dsv7Be
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Rk5piXJu
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2RxFA25h
「好的。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWzOmr9JF
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenKkB7VqOH
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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hsq7LfBri
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFOBWjsrpK
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NDT5bzEqS
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9HcEIKkCv
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCUqPV1mzC
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cCujGYXQi
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTE0e5Kb9
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv0hz74NyP
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9MrQS5Vg
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpDJWQ8bz
「……紅鶴。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Hc8L7J2a
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhwqoXiUnW
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYblLedXwmi
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbyzeEh6fL
「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。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2exeJrQg6U
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnO0rtxOAf
「……。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD1pQYv4s3
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPCboO3eF6
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGPqRgytnx
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDyvJfB09
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsVTIrG8u
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEnyLqjBCm
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqOjyI4kl7
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfhjG6TcZZ
「……唉。」659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv94bJwM6si
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwJbeCfzS
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。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNS0a1tPKX
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjaEqiGoS
必須先作準備。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ7LbRQJEW
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC1fgSeoo3
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclx8umvN9g
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mBf6DFCwt
比如，機器人之類的。659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTuJUkJph0
