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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAVgwsbL5g
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9f1PF9z1T
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOLUkaCnpO
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYX0twAWo5
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZ4UiiCtK
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK33eBEju7
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupYX7lHUd
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jgsDmiy5W
「讓我送你最後一程，請老人家好走。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RNooxTalf
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczqvHmNat
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alf60tZ16
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKYJrqyJdA
頓時，空氣瀰漫清幽類似蜂蜜甜味。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MiFcr31AS
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRzV09SI09
瞬間，人們的表情明顯輕鬆了不少。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFBFPksjv
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkhsAoDaI1
「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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJiWE90BgD
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aAlZrVs5d
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCbkZHwnbO
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdGbRazeuz
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhwee8TAeW
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZKfJevJN
——現場無一人發現。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhWUMhBYjA
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR8QGOkEuO
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdyaHd0R2
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOVjMmmJFI
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FuRgHdmh
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMTtCA3ERH
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwEN0W7SF
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0GBQ3KrjO
「謝謝，很感謝你殉修士，真的。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgGdk9aiJj
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaI0IGF8y
「斯人已逝，望你們自身保重。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYK5qVDjFI
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSiZ22RWT8
「好的，我們會的。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttJ5ipSF2s
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34KrBbdV4B
最後，把儀式用的東西收入行李，跟他們道別回旅館房間。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfFj7bgeh
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXYJbx0FZU
儀式有點耗神，便稍微睡一下。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVOTbbb5i
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JuoYIId2J
睡起來感覺好多了，接著看時間也差不多。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLVvAGFLcF
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9wEl7tjT
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nYjX8ZwJe
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVc88Ff9p6
沒過多久，不少鎮民聚集起來，歡送我們離去。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaLVtSRE7A
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpKASZUuy
「祝你們旅途順遂。」鎮長說。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa4dKKVp4n
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSXzIBCt34
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKEh0W1LPl
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fBLNC4ry0
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDgYrX1f2P
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDmZy0oBd
「抱歉，剛剛對妳有不禮貌，向妳至上歉意。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR46lECJmR0
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKOnsS27N
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。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdkBV5Sxw6
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGxz88CiZK
「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。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IuKeQWuZT
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLD1aOUKaU
「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。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCA1NmAVug
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Hp1uECA2
「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。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGHzkOAC8
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTRLIQGlc0
館長對此事只說——散佚了。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3VeQjfo3Z
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh7vc0iMT4
真的？是真的嗎？不會被人藏起來了吧？74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP1oHxUo9o
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqisbMN0Ue
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。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDGKJuonT
