在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnxqxPXhXe
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvwhGi3Qn
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOrHhvHNo9
神父和村長一大早就開始組織村民們準備火刑事宜，村人們在村內四處移動。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ovqHfReQC
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iEI7RPjlY
不知為何，老鼠的數量似乎多了起來，甚至能在街道上看到老鼠四處亂竄，清晨開始，已經有人目擊數次鼠群的移動了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTW42flYhI
值得注意的是，昨日回報的信使開始咳嗽，不過他自認為沒事，熱心地加入準備的行列。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUzG6NMvE9
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaBKshnqHT
魔女仍被關押在倉庫裡，由於今日就要行刑，看守鬆了很多，門口的衛兵甚至打起瞌睡。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmz7poBr48
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBjrNTtmMs
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiYF8yZVnK
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TVavYr8Tf
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uO0u5ZM4o
睡眼惺忪的衛兵揉了揉眼，隨著視野清晰，他注意到阿嘉莎手上的用布蓋著的籃子。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLDvKvZqm
「嗯，沒問題……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMMkuSBJME
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0CyHRpgj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaxucOGjxJ
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKg1SZreS6
但與平時不同的是，她今日右手緊緊抓著自己長過臉頰的髮鬢不放，嘴唇也微微抿著。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJDRP6Kkr9
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7giTlWevGe
「唷，小修女又來啦。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTf0yNK6Pc
感覺魔女有些無精打采。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEO8uDExH
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjgVd5cZNB
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WDE2imo1H
「嗯，火刑，會在今天中午開始……」阿嘉莎放下餐籃，背對著魔女：「魔女小姐，你真的有方法不被火刑嗎？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgOAryzL4Q
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMQcBswMdR
魔女沒有回答……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuvRi1UCR
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CITxnvu9b
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY8d2PXeUA
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6emDJHa1
「魔女小姐？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFHMgEcfyj
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbOEA882V
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF3SLtDQQS
「呵呵呵呵、哈哈呵呵……」魔女拼命捂著嘴，但還是忍不住笑聲：「噗……噗哈哈哈哈！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eYLi3uj16
阿嘉莎愣了一下，但一星期的相處下來，她也大概了解魔女的意思了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq5F1kDXxC
「看來，您很有自信。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcC1Gr3rBC
「對不起……呵呵呵……一想到待會我要做什麼，我就想笑……呵呵呵呵哈啊！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oqy0ISIY6
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSkaywXkk3
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBKkjIp8ij
「呵……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3ZAr1JVN
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vwoYoY6pw
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJxBXqbTTU
「別擔心，小修女……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnjVy32swT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR58RD4YV6j
又是那別具誘惑力的音調，魔女微微歪頭，長長的睫毛蓋住不知張還閉的眼睛。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQnMk8ZDVi
魔女淺淺地笑著：42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScFyocN7yE
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOWTl08VYH
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZFDG6Q9UW
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImf7ljOW8K
或許是那股音調，或許是這些天發生的事，阿嘉莎的腦內突然思考了許多東西，她沒能聽清魔女說的話……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLpPjxo9zO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIguCRAgYC
中午，很快就到了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8vrT8pGIf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe13vpTaIzV
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPJiFwFZn6
刑台上，火刑架底下堆滿了柴火，劊子手站在一旁，手上拿著尚未點燃的火炬。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYAzzkhely
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUpke3Y0ZZ
在刑台前，還放了另一個高臺，上面擺了椅子，米德魯神父、塞繆爾以及幾位從村民中挑出的陪審團坐在上面。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx23tg3wlzL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUkN6sRSje
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhmp54VtWg
「呃……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBdb8Zfm6n
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGiD2VRBIQ
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pqi3lyVjR
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav5v5sFyzF
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTeQs3JIG
因為，他們將對魔女進行最後的審判，進行一場，沒有意義，沒有法治，早已決定好結果的審判。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUURhRVrq2
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvEdbFLfj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBCfKuIRPI
沒一會，衛兵杜比斯和另外幾名衛兵壓著一個白髮的女人進入廣場。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSERGNxFgqE
那就是魔女了，長長的睫毛蓋住眼睛，微笑的表情令人看不出情緒。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MQFUlyXHM
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCOuLVLcIp
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZMUzrOlYq
本來，村人們吵吵鬧鬧，但一見到魔女，人們紛紛安靜了下來——不知是因為火刑前的緊張，還是因為魔女的外貌……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHiUEBIeub
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R1QRC1IC0
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ayQu8CaA
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GsNfNRRg8
長長的睫毛下，鮮紅的瞳孔掃視著底下的人群，村民們紛紛閃避視線，深怕與魔女對上眼而被詛咒。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pj0j1EO50
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWHZ1uVqo
塞繆爾舉著法槌，不知該如何是好，他深深的懷疑這場審判的合法性。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooLDOdMnd6
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q4zikVUzm
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaif8H4lPY
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVuBXpLJRk
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j2b5E7YVR
米德魯神父看出塞繆爾的不安，她伸手接過法槌，並用眼神示意塞繆爾放鬆。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BW4EtJCNG
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eYIUJ1tzM
嗵嗵嗵！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WqA96JTJf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6RqvXm3o2
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FLjXI3ZRV
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wmvs92ULV
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad92fjxRb6
「使用魔法、毀壞自然、苟同惡魔……你的罪名數不勝數。近日的魔女騷動，你肯定就是源頭！」米德魯神父一改平時溫和的態度，兇猛地說道：「無數女孩們身上長滿皮疹，扭曲痛苦地在地上爬行，是不是因為你和惡魔施展魔法，蠱惑人心，向她們展示了什麼淫穢不堪的邪惡畫面！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7BbSbRGW9
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1de74X9c53
神父一口氣說了好多話，停下來後整個人都在喘，他接過一旁侍童遞來的水杯，稍微休息一下。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMsN6zGkad
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCu7eX7FCk
但魔女沉默不語。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE4VYCQRsT
未否認，可也未認罪。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTQR779XZX
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD3botmQdG
塞繆爾接過法槌。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqXvZIbHO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDouXJ1Yva1
嗵嗵嗵！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5LGSIFa5h
輪到他了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk3xhMPIUf
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf82W9VF8y
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzlYhmxUiq
昨日晚上，和魔女溝通時，他大概猜出了魔女的目的——拖延時間，不知到原因，但魔女似乎希望拖延到正午。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9lz8RY07
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVWiCQvaM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGPVBUZu7
「把蛋糕送上來！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxk4vniChu
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdCnUZTsxq
「這是利用那些受苦女孩們的尿液製成的蛋糕……把狗也牽上來吧！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXwTj80TM8
魔女蛋糕，透過黑麥粉和受害者的尿液製成，據說裡面含有來自魔女的「邪惡粒子」，如果被狗食用，那魔女將感到痛苦，呻吟聲會暴露她。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EodyG1L7s
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ToryNfA3K
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbACSI8L5ss
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQL1To98oC
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV056f1B3z1
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18Di3ATHL
魔女沉默不語，毫無反應地站在原地，臉上只帶著一開始的笑容。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTnwaqh2gA
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgeDy9mZ8X
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGaVo04nJy
塞繆爾點了點頭。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA1831yD4e
「沒有反應，好……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuwXQByW4I
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykZEYSUU7
距離正午還有時間，魔女仍就不語，塞繆爾還需要爭取點時間。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehtcs4o2i4
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rrUpTtoB
塞繆爾換了張紙，上面記載了幾個星期以來對魔女進行過的測驗。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdCZlUoZG
「沒有必要吧，塞繆爾兄弟……」米德魯神父將手放在紙上，小聲說道：「我還是不相信她能拯救瘟疫，她才是瘟疫的源頭……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN4EqlhMbh
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBATwJH29S8
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kDUwwABy2
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXEUCvLxsK
「兩個星期前，進行了第一項觸摸測試，被告與狀況穩定下來的受害者進行觸碰，如若狀況立刻失衡，代表就是魔女……」塞繆爾朗誦了第一項測驗：「結果……受害者毫無變化，推測是因愧疚感……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vmEHy3555
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkPfWuNS1e
這什麼荒謬的測驗，成功了就是魔女，失敗了是有愧疚感的魔女……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFzw4JNcNj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZMzyikD37
「上個星期，阿嘉莎修女協助進行了乳頭測驗……被告乳頭是粉色的……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOrGmTfVsr
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPnc4GvZ8X
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SVt4JSRWo
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFfsRmSsv
「顏色、型態皆正常，但用針戳刺後毫無反應……足以做為魔女的證據。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJym1ri6X
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y9jYxyBGG
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmQBymKgn
好不容易，距離正午只差幾分鐘了，他趕著懷錶，可手上已經沒有證據可以朗誦了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbejk7uUEar
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k7GOnxtuU
「還不行……要……呃……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuQn3uSzj
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF2Vmdc8Q5
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFC3Qx8fm
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3IQioZrK
隨著米德魯的大喊，魔女被綁上火刑架，劊子手立刻點燃點燃了火炬。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyDd1iqvYo
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcyveKe92
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0g0FAPAS
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvfF8ql1E
爭奪法槌的過程中，塞繆爾注意到魔女的表情，她對著塞繆爾點了點頭，彷彿在說：42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnliT8ToiR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyHFBKmKBs
『可以了。』42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBdd1JOvdS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIq31XlHGa
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1gVoAOzEM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvuTvOrL7l
嗵嗵嗵！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Ns4E3DjK
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxQdpgaAl
「行刑！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpk9RRdGwO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEIIPDP1hn
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGj3ww6VDU
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo4dy9D9m1
「我呀……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0L3r8jK4
魔女突然開口：42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdh2Gi5Ip4
「是天使唷～」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CcAhTUSPS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt3H45DyY4
嘩啦啦——42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp77ZnibHpf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57aJSfHGWX
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAKDPurATr
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rGA0eQPB
民眾們急忙用手遮擋雨勢，米德魯抬起頭，看著艷陽高照的天空。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrda28wA1zk
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJPuO76CcX
滴……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATVnWrIUb
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7AMhh6IX9
雨水不斷滴在他臉上，他即使瞪大眼睛，也不得不相信眼前發生的事情——下雨了，行刑的前一刻下雨了。下雨了，在太陽高掛的時候下雨了……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU04c5XS8vf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjdvCdkNvd
雨水淋溼了塞繆爾手上的羊皮紙，淋溼了米德魯神父的臉，淋溼了阿嘉莎的修女袍。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIrxWR8JbT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC7OFFAQmB
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHqhkLEz9B
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWP8tX725b
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhup2vt1Ewm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGpVEhrAv2
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CDsM0kaPH
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lu1mkoZ2v
