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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeVMa7qvOz

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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pg1KLgOPs

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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h3beEAxcU
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLixUkbvAh
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoul0SkytL
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHECPU9IPN
「讓我送你最後一程，請老人家好走。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduQ0baBaRG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL99IBRzTb
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EOBfDsQ6n
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKuwBQfpb2
頓時，空氣瀰漫清幽類似蜂蜜甜味。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fLeWhFQWj
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AyvEc2Tjc
瞬間，人們的表情明顯輕鬆了不少。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hsN9AzLt1

「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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHZZlbomk
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8nQYFaux0
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI97err7dGZ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S6Zn0RQYY
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6XdxHoCy
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4RupLumo
——現場無一人發現。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ntT0FrgDj
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLXX2ZN7OJ
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhpCyaFQvE
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8X0uTQ60
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD56x6QsGu
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVsHNsXpm
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwY7sEMJYR
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEefTNsxbgO
「謝謝，很感謝你殉修士，真的。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoKYXC2q1I
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUoLB6XsPv
「斯人已逝，望你們自身保重。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYknvHCbB
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmruUAlt2nf
「好的，我們會的。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDBiWa1MDC
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPI2uGrXnZ
最後，把儀式用的東西收入行李，跟他們道別回旅館房間。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwBmLEE9fK
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw8SGaFf8F
儀式有點耗神，便稍微睡一下。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wFs9Q7CdG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apq4qIvPI
睡起來感覺好多了，接著看時間也差不多。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apjycXexn
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSotdqBPCtk
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBB7vVwjs
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFdhkxrG0
沒過多久，不少鎮民聚集起來，歡送我們離去。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHSLYWUKi2
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY3jLoVQRb
「祝你們旅途順遂。」鎮長說。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRSBkTD5ED
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhj1ryjr5
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUHtI0YXo8
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyk42UgY7a
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SalGCRSRY
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMLndruDS
「抱歉，剛剛對妳有不禮貌，向妳至上歉意。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueZkDlRBLF
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aeIbGZJXH
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。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzi9zeMYJr
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQBK9lvaY7
「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。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb48U5738p1
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd5Jb2M3uf
「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。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQaFZuHJq
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jnJ63DxOg
「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。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2exYWOHnRk
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31BWsbCxT5
館長對此事只說——散佚了。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLfXZFACxh
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH30dxgsgG
真的？是真的嗎？不會被人藏起來了吧？70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOabGLpFtV
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wafTE4Rjo
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。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCPk3uvdN1
