2161年2月19日，早上八點，黑教堂，北棟499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf0ab8YstH
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvq3pEsSND
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXFB7Vf6DF
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEAJA7SeZN
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAwGDZuOXX
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12DFm5g7fq
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGIvAgbuKO
「扣、扣。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJf3EJNOy0
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZgFQHBZWR
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAfTZBZ2T
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Guu6mkAU7
「早安。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4farMw8ag
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBZIqy9W8T
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvjrTYHLDD
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL57eBclPT
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNhV4e3Y3

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsSPVCl9Pv
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgvU8x8YMP
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdrjpONMn
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bsdDYd0sc
「你昨晚沒經過我允許，就讓我睡著了。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD0rz84Qrq
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULbSCUFlx
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn9fykBWXd
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4CKpjRgnP
「小天使，妳該慶幸我只是讓妳睡著，不要跟我鬧脾氣。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWHHgwvwZK
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiIqhcQsGr
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhmcTteR0P
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu889uWgwM
「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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZnob0yjy
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AixwzsBzn
「……。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4oPK1pqF
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnMM6JbBUV
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwnmYy9bOJ

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAJkDRgsNB
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCtxeTjoPi

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdU8kOjXN
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIwug7G3gk
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18oIGCFsmS
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGT2iLWzx
檸檬用頻道問羅笙：「為什麼有『網路搜尋紀錄』？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzUY9bok9Z
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnILgaRQzg
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJSPFUxp7K
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePDOSu9nb
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？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFY7bBbgnK
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEauXbqNvc
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：499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc6LYrDr9s

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1w4B4U9zV
──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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sc07biwSf
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwedawEjK4
「早安，冰河叔叔。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuG3Nhi9He
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdMqNgMTXb
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JnPlsKEIU
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNRife5HGA
「咦？這位莫非是……？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4cRtdajLp
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsyuR28Qw5
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7EVHb8oM
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn94shsKYW
「啊！我想起來了，是雪檸姑姑的女兒！」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJD1dY62yT
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbIvzNxkrX
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrwR7o8pTy
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrkI5GKp9d
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQap45lSQyg

「冰河叔叔負責照顧這孩子嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNstYi9fo2
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcWB94Us1
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHq96P3Qs
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvPgT9HYJC
「嗯。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkE1xvjwKe
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTXO1Bp8eQ
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qyve08x2S
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGUa4vtn3O
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvDY6oRKG2

「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！」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF7w1hjxjk
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExqhjQJLhx
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehADnXP5Gf
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KvXb1cGz
那麼，賴梓柔是怎麼回事？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasn76hJAT
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nwRBMXHxV
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？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQtS4xHEsU
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCS5tnQ77t
「不過，想想也真划算。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkgTXo3KUZ
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGhdjm3qU
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO6mh7lSQy

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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbx6aYMec
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV6V0L5wKU
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRCvNnWyWa
為什麼？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTzA7pTzwy

「梓威。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJXrXYLYlM

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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuVELc5QHI
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7htTGvtW
「啊，抱歉。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf37l9nxTy
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0DZOnj8NK
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36SEoJQrE
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYdAik9aM
「冰河叔叔，我先去餐廳了。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgrlr8NUB1

說自己的妹妹骯髒、是惡魔，還說很划算。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaCEpTu6y

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl8P6eWzqG
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfGcJYvbsC
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jU5w07Frh
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0FmIYc9b
「不用在意他的話。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEH5hmwIGx
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFqsc9NI8F
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh2fsZYVCw
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnl3IYlJNS

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iF6JRg9Ed
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Qojg4tt5
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？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4PlAs4dw
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdXzS3uWEq
你也覺得，水果塔是罪惡的存在，是需要被抹殺掉的基因嗎？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnzcv6TGgi
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYEOxbYgUX
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwcoYvqanQ
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wzRlxMD2d
「走吧，我們也去餐廳，妳應該餓了。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtdZTAwu0O
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycGVIt387M
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX23NSQyYy9
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jdQvZESL4
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEy0CvCJ8e
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EBJpwR1iA
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyry16qeOBs
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbiPyiFW3
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfr0V27ec
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm44dQWzop
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvdZG7qwSN
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCkMyggHa
「坐下吧。」賴冰河跟檸檬說。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRODC09bQW8
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9rFtzP7nW
「請問，」檸檬第一次主動搭話：「你們都是這樣，大家一起吃飯？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps0Gnbh8E2
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETBVAYlCLL
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3hCzm7mZp
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05VkhsTBZb
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCOoLUgCC3
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2gpT9dIWU
「所謂例外，是賴梓柔嗎？」檸檬問。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkpXqssTTQ
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9s6KdcCxF
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EZyH8iDdB
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DhTBYc5t
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPRpaGrQZG
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fU7fF2Ucx
「還有人沒到嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwG3so3x0J
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIWPWFaymU
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1CQDGvsht
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU66gNlNGd
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRLn62eQRs
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR2jm3nAIh
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF1SQ9D0Ml
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ObCxmrXF
「那麼，我們開始吧。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSshwOCzom
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ5pb22zst
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8xIMJArTM

499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzAf66sUmg
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1IsL2sTHq
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dOhCslC5t
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34G3wuMC2f
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUDBRp2JoD
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2gUyEnInl
「妳不吃嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJLA1od7W2
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IKzBktRLp
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2zT98t8r5
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GzxjSPv72
「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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0PwbePW1Y
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSx9N7gc1n
賴冰河在心裡痛罵自己，哪有人用這麼爛的問句開話題！499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ2D1KTGxz
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cPqjpchd
「沒有。」檸檬只是搖頭，「不習慣。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GwauEI9uH
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9o6knKQ5P
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UFHyUTZ3T

「哪裡不習慣？」解決掉煩人的視線，賴冰河才問檸檬。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JFL3q1nX5
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmIhYcYG0Y
「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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkSS1LB4Ed
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwhMnRlb4w
「妳沒有受洗，跟著禱告也沒意義。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEBFa8dIyb
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe63qbSzd8C
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAhGo12qw6
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiLzZiWjz7
「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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwqNw8sWO
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeYkLMtYiC
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBac43GCAIH
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmmH1k00V
「上課？」檸檬微愣，「我也要？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdiJJPMfEq
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhGdVq2Ej
「『學齡前教育』。」賴冰河也微愣，「神與畜沒有嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtzUL9tr8S
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxBjjrvfc0
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgncsGr6P
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNN4oZcTva
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxHHqiB6C1
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUD5rxcmk
「……。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOWcQXrQzN
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RtvON212V
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？499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXF4MKS4cQ
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp3q6Ie1pe
「你們在聊什麼，能讓我加入嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDiv5i9eAe
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eUxLFziUr
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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ41cAJ05Xv
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVli95BqY
「謝謝，非常好吃。」檸檬表示：「但不夠甜。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwxQx4D3o
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7N4Dpw3P
「不夠甜？」賴霜原很驚訝，「不是有楓糖嗎？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDHN1HXlDu
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCDnH4Ncoe
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U0uPsO91q
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx6CUISBJF
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Z5WGS5vk
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhVBdSdROx
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9mRjaafsz
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMXWj6oln
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZjlwA01a
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMna5q1QuDi
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？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLZyjpLwhL
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfEzjtlHTJ
「上課的事。」賴冰河順便問：「哥，她要從哪階段的課程開始？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN23k1RsMz
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMlR7bSYpL
賴霜原想了想，拋出令人驚訝的答案：「都不需要。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0YSZyanR7
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKoZLv8VVF
「啊？」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcY8tJde29
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3muzn8IlZN
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXyWKUorpI
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlDgUe9jC4
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：499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2kaeNPiS
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRVJ8irrFY
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSx15Qu8Rp
「雪檸會和老家聯絡，高宇維允許她這麼做。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjc7wxnNxM
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV4i1nGuIG
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwslwbdtwi
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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMmEpIxez
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCESA8HQma
「『現在的』？」聽到關鍵字，檸檬在頻道反問。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEPSmj4rH8
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjanHKc74AV
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHR3VsV74n
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu6o1Xk9z4
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4XNVAglj
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dO1oqHuso
「所以，」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tzJcU3dqB
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKVyAWbFA
和藹的聲音讓檸檬回到現實。賴霜原同時和兩人說：499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFVTiRklXr
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo8XrUqiY9
「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。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4X9K8Fani
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqw1G0v68
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。499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU2xCsL5vF
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1sWNcRz0G
「我知道了，謝謝大舅舅。」499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NlKFW6fKR
499Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlgS3AjGtj
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 protection495ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgiwPm5Hm9 維尼
