我放下木盒從中拿出獸皮制黑色手套並戴上，然後披上繡著孔雀羽毛樣式的白袍，接著把銀製小長鏡放在棺木的正前方，再取出錘目紋琉璃小圓罐及水晶瓶薰香油。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTI8uKmFkJ

準備好後，開始檢視逝者狀況，面容安祥彷彿入睡一般無牽無掛。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU2zBCROf2
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4btkr27so
昨晚才跟我開開心心的暢飲，再次遇到竟是這種結果，真是命運捉弄。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoaGjlXYoI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWmBgDBuwQ
搖了搖頭我甩開雜念，深吸一口氣然後緩緩吐出，把精神集中起來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE15uSKfxbA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9g4yVuQdI
「讓我送你最後一程，請老人家好走。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCrmFdORRV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnClr5l4OU
轉開小圓罐取一小撮淺褐色粉末，放在老人家頭頂上方的空間，接著倒入水晶瓶裡薰香油一起混合。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5S20IBNuO
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIH5l1KtNL
頓時，空氣瀰漫清幽類似蜂蜜甜味。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrX2788WAL
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34sDtl0Oig
瞬間，人們的表情明顯輕鬆了不少。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWjkYJo1sA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GD76Paki9
「願，死神之女‧查娜婭絲引領其方。」我單膝跪地、雙手合十，閉上眼睛低頭念禱。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0gFq4QKq1
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJjqTj3DKK
話音剛落，憑空發出刺骨冰寒的女子笑聲，使在場的人驚慌失措。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mz7SDRtzh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSepLkmxXF
我抬頭看見鏡中的查娜婭絲趴在扁舟上，怡然自得玩著冥川之水的景象，而另一端載著笑瞇瞇的老人家，畫面顯示一秒便消失的無影無蹤了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVA9RLGFLC
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9DuipK1Y1
——現場無一人發現。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ7sGIFr7p
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdDCRcNma4
結束逝者儀式，我點上一支火柴丟到薰香油混合區，火蛇霎時吞噬棺木的所有物後就自動熄滅。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJwf3hOZ76
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SFCaqsALZ
棺木內被大火燒過也該有骨灰，但結果有如煥然一新，而其中卻出現六顆泛著白光的玻璃珠。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoqSGBv397
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcYq9x8eiP
六顆玻璃珠，剛好對應現場六位家屬，一一裝入紫色絨布束口袋交給他們。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZlavaj6X6
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkrspxBL5
「謝謝，很感謝你殉修士，真的。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDIcxpsapo
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQdDyum3cY
「斯人已逝，望你們自身保重。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmBXoA1SJ7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoYSa3g87s
「好的，我們會的。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85qc3jQvn3
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN14pnjx7DJ
最後，把儀式用的東西收入行李，跟他們道別回旅館房間。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr83cozICs
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk2eMLEpFN
儀式有點耗神，便稍微睡一下。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJOyQzSZwI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFcGl1grob
睡起來感覺好多了，接著看時間也差不多。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnEIoWsPof
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQn504JAA8
我回看一眼房間提起行李，打開房門走到旅館大門口，只看到薇朵跟鎮長及馬車。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOC9eqPUlw
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWkSiuM3uQ
沒過多久，不少鎮民聚集起來，歡送我們離去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw78KqdSPH
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvafbSmts7B
「祝你們旅途順遂。」鎮長說。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjj0vAWwaI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5HcuoCCFy
我們上了馬車向他們搖搖手，離開這溫馨的城鎮，或許哪天還會來造訪。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkUCmTS13M
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxTXHadeOH
在車上有些無聊，我打起哈欠、伸了伸懶腰，看著薇朵文靜優雅的坐姿似乎是我失禮了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg4apMxE8Q
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAw6EHGKUq
「抱歉，剛剛對妳有不禮貌，向妳至上歉意。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtkKWvxNlE
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNAdx56pl7
薇朵連忙搖著手，說：「不不不，沒關係沒關係。」沉澱心情後，「第一次看到殉修士的逝者儀式，感覺……內心暖暖的。只是，最後被鬼魅般的聲音給嚇到了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Wytka7qb
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZqeO3NPb
「那個聲音啊，是死神之女在人間的形象，而衪本人一直待在冥川。」薇朵跟我不同信仰，也不排斥談論，「能夠讓妳開眼界，是我的榮幸。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTsiCxtmFi
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV55vfXWR5
「每種宗教，對於死亡都有獨到的見解，儀式手法也略為不同。」薇朵如此說道：「薩耶教在席慕日誌有這樣的描寫，會先送到聖堂旁的空地上，在逝者身上噴灑特殊的油防止腐壞，接著念頌神名點燃粉末，這樣早晚各七次重複七輪七天後土葬，作為未來子嗣的弔祭。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh1wXulX62
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ZrzKEKpH
「但是，妳所說的日誌是第三版記錄，目前放在總部圖書室裡，由櫃檯人員保管，而原稿跟第二稿件完全失蹤。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXc6XLESW
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZPEujuRE
館長對此事只說——散佚了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE3mVywknL
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIDyyeiDjW
真的？是真的嗎？不會被人藏起來了吧？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UMWmR33Oh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXe40LCDVt
只是我不懂，為何一本日誌非要出到第三版，且內容也不是言行語錄。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5AWhIgWtp
