2161年3月1日,晚上九點,黑教堂,北棟355Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ZiK4HkKp
355Please respect copyright.PENANAfJl5na6wUa
355Please respect copyright.PENANAJOy1gaTODX
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAoAQX919s3Q
355Please respect copyright.PENANA4aNfUd76PN
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAuFl5hQeU4T
355Please respect copyright.PENANAa6JAZftNUv
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAM4pMGQ8FEJ
355Please respect copyright.PENANA7FIZsLlPTk
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAMIT2eifrHy
355Please respect copyright.PENANAMMmigKtDs4
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA1BYzbzUATH
355Please respect copyright.PENANAdLLLDFIWzD
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAxNYrT1GlnA
355Please respect copyright.PENANASrclZZx2Rr
「……為什麼?」355Please respect copyright.PENANAhLNNrEMIVt
355Please respect copyright.PENANADQYbQCNsvS
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現,人在床的另一側,坐在她旁邊。355Please respect copyright.PENANAYeJDsJGXrd
355Please respect copyright.PENANA6cTmlSlp6X
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼?」355Please respect copyright.PENANAoStZ9IyPhG
355Please respect copyright.PENANAFIDt62vG4D
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAUXB7Gyi3Pl
355Please respect copyright.PENANAfKIa60WX6c
「我說了,是因為宗教。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAs3d0aP4zen
355Please respect copyright.PENANAhbfW3T1Mkn
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!」355Please respect copyright.PENANAZUi3ZidR54
355Please respect copyright.PENANA7u84zd7ztZ
「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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANALXpudvq7m0
355Please respect copyright.PENANAiQoi6IRR0o
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAeFGxf73lKQ
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mu9OySKje
「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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANABAuiLzH0Es
355Please respect copyright.PENANApYtC0SQ0Cz
「……我不要。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAyii0KTb3kR
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0TnY9AKRXs
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAn1q59nXpFM
355Please respect copyright.PENANAQBFdoRGljf
「小天使,把妳的情緒收起來,我不想代替里奧教妳。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAapRnRH0vuf
355Please respect copyright.PENANAoNQKFxGRoQ
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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA6QyIfX8VYT
355Please respect copyright.PENANAuUGeaDobAB
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAySf6hywpVV
355Please respect copyright.PENANAIHuTVx0rDT
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANA56Hlw3SQSY
355Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7HsexxAc
「別忘了妳的處境,小天使。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAAiIWsrnrRk
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0KX9Y6T35U
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAWwoonUPNZp
355Please respect copyright.PENANAvfsYoMCaOO
355Please respect copyright.PENANAqfWiz89tha
「死的是她的家人,不是妳。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAAchDv2P65Y
355Please respect copyright.PENANA1W6IUaNXky
「妳可以同情她,沒必要栽進去。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ1cwgkkMn
355Please respect copyright.PENANAnO9QwwuoDp
355Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Tl3Rghx8
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1kQvDWusW
355Please respect copyright.PENANAFR9aGwajrz
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAIdjiSNhKlb
355Please respect copyright.PENANAgw7njGZWIg
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAk6iltXz3h3
355Please respect copyright.PENANAMeXpO36q01
355Please respect copyright.PENANAsHbM2hvrlf
「你說什麼!?」355Please respect copyright.PENANATZcemsGt2r
355Please respect copyright.PENANAdrKSg2opkT
355Please respect copyright.PENANABfx4TiUo6N
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?」355Please respect copyright.PENANATi9GIhIxz5
355Please respect copyright.PENANAIpIfZTxBz6
「上個月,我陪天恩叔叔去小酌,他親口告訴我的。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAu5TXpzepJd
355Please respect copyright.PENANAfvUk6BzKKu
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAhnEW1M4GmO
355Please respect copyright.PENANA6KVz7RqvEl
「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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA9w4lvFzRRB
355Please respect copyright.PENANAAH3YScAYnS
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANArp2QSi0XEF
355Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ6iqAiWAD
355Please respect copyright.PENANAQBT9eJWrsR
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAcuHERLYEI0
355Please respect copyright.PENANAXsF1OIQtUa
「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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAM92I5XfhGr
355Please respect copyright.PENANApIvmIM04v0
355Please respect copyright.PENANAeZdMefk4gx
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANA2YTbgYvljg
355Please respect copyright.PENANATRrRExCG02
「……!」355Please respect copyright.PENANADQ0MItNOlr
355Please respect copyright.PENANAhZzJ32237k
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAmtd5liWh2M
355Please respect copyright.PENANACUBdv7E2g3
355Please respect copyright.PENANAxYCuaht6ki
「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……」355Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvZNkyPIY
355Please respect copyright.PENANAp2DPRxIFnx
355Please respect copyright.PENANAUiSyUI4Laj
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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAlbhBaZDMUA
355Please respect copyright.PENANAM1NtcpHGcv
另一個使徒開口:「雪檸的孩子呢?她的傷還好嗎?」355Please respect copyright.PENANAI1JdsFbu0x
355Please respect copyright.PENANAbk3OlgGWuX
他旁邊的人說:「似乎沒有大礙。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAYh63IYHIgB
355Please respect copyright.PENANA3NZpjltRWq
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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA173ceZXPC2
355Please respect copyright.PENANAHG0P1BF31P
「反觀小羽,那孩子真可憐。」355Please respect copyright.PENANApl9N4zjZBM
355Please respect copyright.PENANANLbB2lMKq0
「懷上那樣的惡魔,不是他們願意的啊!」355Please respect copyright.PENANAbEvtjH6qLx
355Please respect copyright.PENANAwazBru2g3X
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA65SxgHOkbR
355Please respect copyright.PENANAAsSkHz0LLS
「沒錯,我們會照顧她。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA7b0sMs9UCw
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0zzOs73xGm
「給她排個監護人吧,你們覺得誰適合?」355Please respect copyright.PENANASEzSXxpG5x
355Please respect copyright.PENANAFxbtny11jC
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAA60uRmqBMw
355Please respect copyright.PENANAvvZ8NgV9Al
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA1PhbWmj8z2
355Please respect copyright.PENANAjfVl75axCy
355Please respect copyright.PENANA42v4WjmCDu
為什麼?355Please respect copyright.PENANALfu0JUuRhg
355Please respect copyright.PENANAqFHB9i8EIT
沒有人譴責廖天恩,還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼?355Please respect copyright.PENANANNoHTZQfby
355Please respect copyright.PENANATgBQc82wXz
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了,這是應該的嗎?355Please respect copyright.PENANAjchGUCO4Mp
355Please respect copyright.PENANAXea2RBBhmw
廖天恩蓄意殺人,這件事沒有錯嗎?355Please respect copyright.PENANAOZTL4zToA9
355Please respect copyright.PENANARmLG4nVonK
355Please respect copyright.PENANAcTfkDxpH21
──我說過,這座教堂的條件,就是宗教。355Please respect copyright.PENANAu6BDwc2LeF
355Please respect copyright.PENANAAFpOSyPoCZ
355Please respect copyright.PENANA9DBvX5VDQK
檸檬恍然大悟。355Please respect copyright.PENANALN6t31J9ca
355Please respect copyright.PENANAoCxz7lw3Ti
確實,黑教堂上上下下,大家都是好人。355Please respect copyright.PENANAYy0MWV6ZW3
355Please respect copyright.PENANAdm7AYYfOJm
可是,一旦滿足條件,他們連自己變成了壞人,都不知道。355Please respect copyright.PENANA9m15Comwng
355Please respect copyright.PENANAsHh3WMA2i9
355Please respect copyright.PENANA919PbA0xOu
「事已至此,證據確鑿,多說無益。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA4w46tHHWYv
355Please respect copyright.PENANAgZzVOPvKsZ
突然,賴霜原開口,打斷眾人討論的聲音。355Please respect copyright.PENANA8fv4JYLL8o
355Please respect copyright.PENANAgfptXUEyRl
「天恩和他的妻子,兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAB1OQmYh8pF
355Please respect copyright.PENANAYE1E3PiDFW
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAFBUYa7RXwP
355Please respect copyright.PENANACciHyIe5ek
「梓威,他們的後事,交給你處理吧。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA7gEEcpgwFH
355Please respect copyright.PENANADqZtKtO3DQ
「好的。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAuqthXGNQwq
355Please respect copyright.PENANAA5ORa3PH0t
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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAGbsD7QvOXn
355Please respect copyright.PENANAf6b0UaPlHP
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAAUIrFMyuo6
355Please respect copyright.PENANAg7VzfKgge9
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANA67SP2FRGQi
355Please respect copyright.PENANA9JWAH4xmMZ
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAkLUOFpal6X
355Please respect copyright.PENANAGy3vnrsF0W
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANA9SeGkiaXFP
355Please respect copyright.PENANAJWolRiZtAo
「……紅鶴。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Z5Spwlvr
355Please respect copyright.PENANApprGE2O6c9
檸檬第一次叫他,聲音有氣無力。355Please respect copyright.PENANAjNiOD55ORo
355Please respect copyright.PENANADLepo06szH
「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。」355Please respect copyright.PENANASDFXMlN7iH
355Please respect copyright.PENANAukG0AHBYHi
「……。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAQWOTirKVMB
355Please respect copyright.PENANAxoAkvyFAc3
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAA6URyAvZzy
355Please respect copyright.PENANASQX2t4jVLb
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANA3DkLtUDzAE
355Please respect copyright.PENANAbEMFrPbnoq
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAPk708Hdbhz
355Please respect copyright.PENANADS4UPvrhsO
「……唉。」355Please respect copyright.PENANAKwUuQu2YNI
355Please respect copyright.PENANAaDeVIRyXVJ
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。355Please respect copyright.PENANAUlJzkCwwEU
355Please respect copyright.PENANANvo7MS7QTY
必須先作準備。355Please respect copyright.PENANAbzZvekmrb6
355Please respect copyright.PENANAD3zQcXguTH
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了,還有人能保護他的眷屬。355Please respect copyright.PENANAoGrw71OUS9
355Please respect copyright.PENANA3IVOgGI36k
比如,機器人之類的。355Please respect copyright.PENANAv52kwbqBpz
