在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZxHqGk5tj
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrRmNELn0Q
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyL0xQOQQN
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSmmfLdlZ2
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxQcDhaZJr
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4ruIYo8N
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2SABNMCS
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7f3LrnZ4
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZollHBlCL
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkR9W0bOtS
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6twmleCFnG
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOAfyDvifC
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHpvyV3OFl
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ijuewRyG
「嗯，沒問題……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXClMoQYDi7
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe7gpnlgOt
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCUAnfdFoZ
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8tZM1mW2a
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtgOdwkGW
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQfDyZ7tMI
「唷，小修女又來啦。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtjBW02MA
感覺魔女有些無精打采。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67m3BoQdO3
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruLBeQ6QFr
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgqldpUON
「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？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7hefSFahz
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFGbPkVTtO
魔女沒有回答……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKiXortjAL
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MIU0Oghrz
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GzuWin1Fl
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkuoBGlgpJ
「魔女小姐？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxwguP3Us
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86SFNtJ43J
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0puvHoj8U
「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！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3J0ZdVtWg
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWjnSZw4Qc
「看來，您很有自信。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzPcuHdCNg
「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！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytI4WfMlOw
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4WB5F45mw
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQg9FxlYyy
「呵……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL2ATBitna
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRk9YIrGzH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMKI55MnY
「別擔心，小修女……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhqUQmqF1t
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvcmR5v5NH
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7WPDDTB6E
魔女淺淺地笑著：92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nDcIluQCj
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lJKfskGC
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLnCYDtdU
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCxEqq7NJP
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……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5MIzuagd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfJQticiT
中午，很快就到了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtZDe2glt4
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPc1giqsSn
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVsMiFwd7I
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmUes0X5k5
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPmz4RxWzt
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqykg1btFd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIiSznMgWR
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7gKEdR2tl
「呃……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdlc0hJ91a
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeVn1ejw8
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8HA3Kl8kE
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mA2sEHEk
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRZskMKYvY
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLioB43GsH
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOAJ82hpGy
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgM13whwbJ
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp3hTnbynB
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24S7zT1GM4
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwBo53wh4T
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTHjrYagyt
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……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRTEGL1CBA
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCbYZYBVj1
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJN4NKCulW
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYquMRPGkqw
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRFnw5ZzIb
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIuKXMS5nu
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm1gwcSAFO
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6L31cXXIx
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAot7YrI2k
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf6aFcuVN9
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKCtHm5GKC
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV0q7NIAq1
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacjXdAKUM8
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGYnZHr1h
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0fXtTp456
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7B7ztSax
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mMaM2NFq
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb1FJI2qbl
「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！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8suGMRkdP
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDySo3Bi8
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiOwrBHIGl
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9X7B13XL
但魔女沉默不語。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDPr9qau3K
未否認，可也未認罪。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8D2NuzS3
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2DCCrvRg
塞繆爾接過法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2sFbPnrOG
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDMfvupVdi
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7RZtlJW50
輪到他了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoshJfI4sda
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz9SKo5fMu
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmMgGMBEZn
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AhqsReR1h
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLDjOEZzCN
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IRWKLGdZc
「把蛋糕送上來！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzthMT60th
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9COQfPXgA
「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！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1xa5JsXf
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyNYi70WpL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRroerkmtr
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni50gfjzdY
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlSjBpPyrR
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9sVQHyqId
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHzg2SDss
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OiBdRVozG
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRTRR5qdl
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1XspQyiF
塞繆爾點了點頭。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9iOemJqQa
「沒有反應，好……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQN07FT8gY
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKFGLxZbmZ
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbvz8l9f4
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rl0qgevfv
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrGW3yM5x5
「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……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDBSRD2GA
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCr7gl3if
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgagfiYISJE
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhOwf1jXH
「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……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZIbOQ8IPW
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX4N79rr7G
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……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZsjVBMpP
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAEaWIUFP6
「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……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWAB3kBFNJ
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmUNuC26xC
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzmeMhl1j2
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjmS8bAev
「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。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2UcKeohdo
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8G6WohnnT
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQscayUAv9d
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRcSSdUZok
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WLZAkFes
「還不行……要……呃……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YE8uOozJm
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8twdbgaOC
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ctuAXjBN
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOx92AQIiM
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OOTx8JQ6
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwM4bhQI7
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmDBNxX8I
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1FHzhvBQR
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：92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7bPQ14Tc2
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaEddZgFa
『可以了。』92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDV1XMFg1
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh2vcPsICM
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsuQZeRLCj
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37QghyEcFv
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf11M2xyYI9
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MW48miB25
「行刑！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0M90vSWsC
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFIhlaJR7u
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WUHdscpY4
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8hqf9Mo7
「我呀……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTWRPquzyM
魔女突然開口：92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxYnHRSoj6
「是天使唷～」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ047zkZ9F7I
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXi3ifafz7
嘩啦啦——92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyId426MIV
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslAl31G2TF
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUvEmLjCzB
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERkmmo5ho1
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceDRuT6ZSY
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonYyP6oYk3
滴……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXNfBNmNh
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9IhvjbWY
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……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtPZ3kir3
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kycxJVouP
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。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB6ApqJHCm
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHGzNL1vzK
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvT4nNJtA7
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGtFwiYJ2F
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOVD18zCM4
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL2rRdb4pH
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiVq7A1UNo
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHeDRV2pXZ
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVChTAe2m1P
