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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FODStYL2v

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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHzetgmjOG

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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHmQbrVX1R
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glhyBvYTe
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUKDtxfmR
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ711JqXh6hZ
「讓我送你最後一程，請老人家好走。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnA7rQnjIl
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hm1L6c1kp
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8kqp6UPdN
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61TgQ3ZsWz
頓時，空氣瀰漫清幽類似蜂蜜甜味。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F5QRRaXeE
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr56WlW5BZo
瞬間，人們的表情明顯輕鬆了不少。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zTvNcE5UA

「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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa2VrlyinR
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxOr6KLcDZ
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6kELmd9EB
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTGir0G9LA
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecYGe1q6Mn
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhVIvYo8pg
——現場無一人發現。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvlvJVtlob
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC0v743pg8
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtNgsdiU8A
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0I5EYduR0
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiet0G7eQql
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w9M3bC8AV
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSxHbXRmv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUE15AZumx
「謝謝，很感謝你殉修士，真的。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbdII4GJWX
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw53rvXLdzD
「斯人已逝，望你們自身保重。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEWBw3RbP4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJIPIQU7Qi
「好的，我們會的。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvxTOMXAMN
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hRm9Pm8wG
最後，把儀式用的東西收入行李，跟他們道別回旅館房間。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bkgJvDkfA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ846c2G5kr9
儀式有點耗神，便稍微睡一下。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HoOxbRfdp
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcw2Df2Qgp
睡起來感覺好多了，接著看時間也差不多。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t0ajXFknd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSoSjrWlVv
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXbJeecPJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4MmbbdjI
沒過多久，不少鎮民聚集起來，歡送我們離去。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES6rOIR0rt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU63kzoA2EC
「祝你們旅途順遂。」鎮長說。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O0sXVgSEm
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q8e0Rmd5S
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmvte4MA9j
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Yvac9wIO
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRldCCdnWS
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNJlInK1xk
「抱歉，剛剛對妳有不禮貌，向妳至上歉意。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0HrZOL0Dd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3BxUpsusY
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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVGUXtmCZg
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPug2OlDaw
「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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3JuVibHIa
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAoUv1WJsc
「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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErOkUzWSbF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BKrIvLiWy
「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。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dQdp1x2pV
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGaOJBXpMF
館長對此事只說——散佚了。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijJ6XdTsd9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMFK7awNSP
真的？是真的嗎？不會被人藏起來了吧？69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GpEVJN2k
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVb0p0ovGj
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。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cXt7UR3qc
