2161年3月1日，晚上九點，黑教堂，北棟680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAFBqDOEj

680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2d6nuSi0i
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZiW2uNA5D
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CF22zvVqb
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJfHmTPtPC

「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxurBJvCZs2
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQVfpLjdiE
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4m6e3C8KW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gQYazqWgC
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM2u5OHGLs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeDpnaHLRl
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCmuWSC70R
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKNMh7cs3g
「……為什麼？」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAftGpGSCI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJBlBMG31u
檸檬開口。她知道羅笙出現，人在床的另一側，坐在她旁邊。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxHEMxnUNW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCRGF07HPQ
「小羽的爸爸……為什麼？」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF3xP0goLP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgBr4f4bY
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7tQQOOS2x
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IJTxlj0n5
「我說了，是因為宗教。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAKp461FFa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAS2q6yuPk
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！」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOAo36djiL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8ZA9W72xL
「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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWNUcths6T
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4nGkzGIY
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT6k8AlTZ1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPvQHpBDa
「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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PWb0wAvDj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuqW3oT3sx
「……我不要。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmAPQPnEuH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBWQWCvR0m
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKy1TlZa62
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbptrCyKw8
「小天使，把妳的情緒收起來，我不想代替里奧教妳。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AJm7fre3w
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VewUMpV6x
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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwX2LNrYj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D7sw6mtup
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5FgdNqTWp
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynsgf0BfW
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEI4tE7qnI
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzR4zuWErx
「別忘了妳的處境，小天使。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH9zBi7NrZ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9aWGRVTv9
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFeNEn8Xae
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q3BNTaySP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsjkgGJfDR
「死的是她的家人，不是妳。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsOTw1Iamd

「妳可以同情她，沒必要栽進去。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGesw49cLfM
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVnErXFZpH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEN0SEyOwd
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJANssunYTs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nQ7y5SmdH
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DvRSO6ivH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK460anMsf
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwVT4ejg7b

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？」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWJAzET4PO
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn0MPmiX6f
「上個月，我陪天恩叔叔去小酌，他親口告訴我的。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSzyT3E1bV
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghEu2Chotj
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLOvfmxtsQ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8vbxIYP56
「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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCqKgPL8Wx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wp626FYd7
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9zyuXk1w
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5izImP78F
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LqoMgc7Kw
「那個小孩有白化症──報告上寫得清清楚楚。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ACm2QPnP
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJkrCijTO
「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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA8oX2efTb
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV1fppJ1bE
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQqmAXXn8
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8YI1tkLmT
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTefMA8pfuh
「……！」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA2uxQOj86
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvMBSUehD
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7qtwfa1Vf
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYJPtLCnC
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayxQzg6pOu
「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……」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLLr36vdfJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO8UvHkDEG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qcqZyKFm1
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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gkZ9d0Bhj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCx98F5Yqa
另一個使徒開口：「雪檸的孩子呢？她的傷還好嗎？」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SfpQBhe1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbUNq7IJTW
他旁邊的人說：「似乎沒有大礙。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MjnL4lGO1
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAGJ5tnr5Z
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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq08lPf0or2
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Re8wtPac
「反觀小羽，那孩子真可憐。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeF2VvzSYB
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAEUoxyV5A
「懷上那樣的惡魔，不是他們願意的啊！」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpMMLqaVZa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIh1N045uG
「之後要好好照顧小羽。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmat5QjMm4
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePaEdtpeDU
「沒錯，我們會照顧她。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QXD6QsrcJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62TrvNaMt8
「給她排個監護人吧，你們覺得誰適合？」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSn0ivLKeY
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXobvp8ZwLy
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB9KnpKc6d
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V0ooB4p72
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4JUJNVExW
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDD9usIydB
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyyuQXkzlX
為什麼？680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCREAUyPG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJ5lHnvnM
沒有人譴責廖天恩，還把焦點放在她和小羽……為什麼？680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaqKzjIvCl
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BYIM3J60V
小羽的媽媽和弟弟死了，這是應該的嗎？680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFwUeJlyqi
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrMlXesi71
廖天恩蓄意殺人，這件事沒有錯嗎？680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iusFu5UKr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchK8p3JCv5
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14EwU5KzeQ
──我說過，這座教堂的條件，就是宗教。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7jsVQtzyG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhHdK4NWOe
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZYcNA0uI
檸檬恍然大悟。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE07eJiNOxr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BFJY8f1zg
確實，黑教堂上上下下，大家都是好人。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAQMHrUPDx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIrtXzP7i
可是，一旦滿足條件，他們連自己變成了壞人，都不知道。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0aRmRJN2d
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eLIgaaeWn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzWvpvdlUy
「事已至此，證據確鑿，多說無益。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD32c62JnL
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgmOStOX9w
突然，賴霜原開口，打斷眾人討論的聲音。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt76K2A3e7O
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZfl5IZ9f
「天恩和他的妻子，兩人值得隆重的、屬於薩拉凱爾教的葬禮。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UUSBgl4qc
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigbwou1gS6
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHUWTMacXR
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDkIFTmR7Q
「梓威，他們的後事，交給你處理吧。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn8w6dNg8J
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaPMLeloPe
「好的。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK74lcqBymu
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wse2eZCU9
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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMRwXRJiPz
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdaOtNWw3U
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsWsfKmo9n
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yuQOIoLFh
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHqfu1GfBQ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS4dytUXiQ
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEt9wPVMg
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqhRb083m
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X1dJpWDnt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzrDH87Y1g
「……紅鶴。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPuVq33aC7
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBizE00fIOX
檸檬第一次叫他，聲音有氣無力。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXgspPf61U
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyPMnBzdaE
「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。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1R0KI959
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnQlxaZRIY
「……。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFED7BfMPBw
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk17pvbIdl6
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz0JwIYktp
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBSBCbgLql
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5BAYqIxYD
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7zJ4Psd80
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6cqOBMnnJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFk7YZ2fnj
「……唉。」680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJd2DoKNY
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxmBywvAs9
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。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjzAz2ura8
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkq61qk5db
必須先作準備。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoE8hE5qCr
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfiotRiIi
他得找些幫手。要是自己死了，還有人能保護他的眷屬。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BSFhNgOFx
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Vx2b1Iq5
比如，機器人之類的。680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsBm51Y3A2
