在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9C8aX2vq
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoY29mxh5K
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRVWK3y9jR
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHLulHjpM
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaP3kN79DT
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzca2P5pln
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLBZycbvLK
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrvvbTFrhM
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGWTioTyxw
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAttwLR7zeU
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKlPthueQB
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZG9MWWcV
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A0Kz5JVyt
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRxL5q7qG
「嗯，沒問題……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmZXqRcy99
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAYsDeEWEP
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxCXSIRAkr
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFWIszYap
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HQbvtZyZN
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Vg1VMKYP
「唷，小修女又來啦。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJatpxPXxeX
感覺魔女有些無精打采。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn7prvIszE
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxzSFvFCD
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczvfzbl5TE
「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？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gvVY7RQnl
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPzm34Muj3
魔女沒有回答……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCJL6VCfxi
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHcx5RKf3w
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOErB40nnl
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oWSwV5Zqi
「魔女小姐？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeSEzEOtQj
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJjgVNssyo
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVAo89G1AD
「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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMhtKdSU3N
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8rAYso576
「看來，您很有自信。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvMnUsd2Al
「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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0pReGqu1j
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJD3LLRdF
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mn1NiFmnS
「呵……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a79dKCyT3
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPtoqH6RQ6
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcuR5Za9EK
「別擔心，小修女……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28nUnSyT58
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5RK89QS8X
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1s0hXGdaY
魔女淺淺地笑著：41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQMEJzPx5f
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj3nG5hWjE
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfi4Uwlk3E
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsNBkBoHR
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……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NUSMIWHoS
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxVFR32qN9
中午，很快就到了。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkWhIJqRZu
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiugc9UNgu
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEyhTRaaRT
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvhzf7cNqL
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigskVlalmO
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzdwE41If
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFCt5bTMtk
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKTp4BHo8f
「呃……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiV0EJ4SUz
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxr4wmKaip
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnLSUz7enk
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A3kgfFX6D
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecQhyVkUA
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIPr8s45gc
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6SOEAQJxA
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELdvEFyWG
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTuPi4VBx4
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpetlkbHK
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU8Te0jIUf
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EtNegYDUM
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……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXYaV5tjkY
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3P7ZTSeob
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iswy1pTpN
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWPbaT68LE
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA4RtFLXzQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXji22qdkO9
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkONY4Ah35
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY18S6dDa5
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7AEtqBGKO
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9UZp7BGx
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugJ26c8I9X
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yunhVpY7Z
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSz7m0NCY5
嗵嗵嗵！41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMo2hZ0PaQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EY1LOOYAm
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u64MJhaIa
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJhLvvxjvp
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScBIyk7UIc
「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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ120SrtOnHQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmZzySK3l
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1X9Pdx26
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkyH5gxWCM
但魔女沉默不語。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFoj1Q4YoU
未否認，可也未認罪。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViPnUCuLtk
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjyBPGlMP
塞繆爾接過法槌。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc4GLyV1v5
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0xAwtSQrW
嗵嗵嗵！41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm3aWiUzgA
輪到他了。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiwz3gGbaj
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNE43Cz9pg
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjvOnrkZJX
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHAHiko2J
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfILmfAf9Rz
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWGf86hLR8
「把蛋糕送上來！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomlSL3ZDUw
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk4cubumAm
「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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE2I0btst0
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrXLBeadap
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP14vVKbnuG
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6zTXhvt1
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkucedvoHzO
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9n0Zw8tZ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1oRdLsIa
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7SDa6GHC
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqmtCsdrfc
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQNKDpEyhZ
塞繆爾點了點頭。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHq891Kj80
「沒有反應，好……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26gnbGzWgX
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveVGzJ3Tht
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpPcO1yYpu
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKiBjPg3L7
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp9Q1dkxMj
「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……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGyDYpnB9W
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihvjfIPImQ
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOnfvHAMdS
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzrJqxp5Yx
「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……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lU7HRB8Yz
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9USGr3s1h
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……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66wW5EiT2C
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJis7FHZnI
「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……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasg3tp4vse
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGbRCOamTo
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmDSA4X9Ol
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9o7eD0ER
「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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7colxEu1Vm
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8kExQPX0Y
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNud4i0Mg6w
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylkzRRySHw
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbdYrO99M
「還不行……要……呃……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvDiir2Xaa
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFBjUeGWPb
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhKwgVV6Xx
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeWc6MAJhe
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oHwjH6XW0
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77DDVFQls1
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAxB7J9aFh
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MjDfd6mkB
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：41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhgD0aj2rZ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKbJMCJTxM
『可以了。』41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcWSnY64q
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdD58DH65A
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamdEiXaw5h
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3C6YRYvV7
嗵嗵嗵！41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcREqYCK8uc
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdIzrfxIM
「行刑！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvXt4zPQbu
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURpciJlE3f
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyofcTvX9b
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFNzoYGEFt
「我呀……」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHVO5nUy0u
魔女突然開口：41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2QAC8QhK
「是天使唷～」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMsJUCCT2Y
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JwAG3RuH
嘩啦啦——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQID9GARzuy
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jzJgkSXto
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6dgNOtY2h
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFaEXPxnl
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqBmXCJhS
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpSzUSl0uS
滴……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYIT6HIHG
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfiZi0UOV
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……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeakYNW6m5C
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbNs8tvF82
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz1eoseFA0
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7jSlKqk7j
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgKtCLorJP
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtp67DMyg
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4hxJsVAPS
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJYxmbKleo
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkn4PTuQ2b
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbTMNSRbwr
