在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW2dokSZLD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtFojq9RPq
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7euuz6OdE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOuGAp0zpI
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO55gUpiqz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f20Tf7H9Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqWWKfceuh
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdbFpHGNih
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4LBFHuXUY
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYXQJm2gVc
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppU52A028Z
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPJaDURsZj
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnncbHTwilT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA48Lpyyqn
「嗯，沒問題……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EfthbkLFm
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Ahd1asEF
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmRj5n2Bw2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTNClcsafj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMuEvAHtCu
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMwMQmFzL
「唷，小修女又來啦。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBFG8q86R
感覺魔女有些無精打采。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmW2qZwQ39
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlPqfL955
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbP86R4r2
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFtMNqGOLY
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ao22WJmbZ
魔女沒有回答……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEbCyXbyC1
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6BbcRIq3
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dsvNQ8Mh
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv10IVv9Un
「魔女小姐？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAnbNQMZ9V
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pvyx8x6Zi
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuoiPAlJi8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ46qYb6UFc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypGvQ6ZhBN
「看來，您很有自信。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdfPyx4BLs
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1PAozrC4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8b4mLY17m
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2tgHPsPJb
「呵……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQFYmuVadG
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJqMNYEIW
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWiaExoL35
「別擔心，小修女……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mTOB0w6Ld
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL82Uodz58
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgzrRlbK0k
魔女淺淺地笑著：92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapzZghdZnM
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Nl0d2EwS
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpuJhk6onL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FOC91M6XP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg3wWcvdVs
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiT97HPhV8
中午，很快就到了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFakdA5xs
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj0uDBaXwL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3yUQUaQo8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB99C08QX9
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi7si7ILnF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTNnAxIU6
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4EDl2lVjY
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdq4l5WHat
「呃……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNnZVYXLSY
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8axLrbVaor
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGa9QWdkTD
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dahpn7tk
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX5jtv0oOq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z5CF3YZIR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgO6ljoACE
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zgMxhyBdL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY0WbybzS9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROwKLVZVcc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsfDZ0V9JE
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACo7xWf1b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkthRkBL63
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtbwY61NB
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVgVKkZiC
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGoASVIByK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjQAaYIrih
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj774rqfozv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAzULR0ZWV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwalm78keUA
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzWiQT8eYx
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUCvyVbBH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7imHr61X
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNaUoM7qG8
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRV3SjPfJX
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA10H0Xp6dL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEqzH96wZo
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp0BrbjF6X
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiU9oTF8E
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q2P2pEHl5
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1rBB941s5
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkV9BzgYTz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvKLAyFt3G
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfxONC1ECH
但魔女沉默不語。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOKOijSmbE
未否認，可也未認罪。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x44Y7zr8f
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff2FdFveHI
塞繆爾接過法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1l48kKod3
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWFSWFrIo
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKTeRsq8Ba
輪到他了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdK2WnPQbA
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7idkh2iEC
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVok1WzueH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSMoKYZSqm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZzoJ3GiH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBcKj8XPUy
「把蛋糕送上來！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqSQFLsV8
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMgtfI8S8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveH47tAjmF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMf3E9zm61
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sdRu9Uc0k
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx4Cn7nRqG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWvr1YVte1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJelrbhPekn
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjhkxsZb8E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBOUX7V31
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpS67xebrX
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYCcDppWix
塞繆爾點了點頭。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGKdDMqNN
「沒有反應，好……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXaDVr0NPX
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpayMAwAWI8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oLKDg4utu
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeCb3BRsAS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKpIKt3Sq5
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFqZjqAFgg
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAg3F7IolU
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEr3PWYrb8
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWroQvxKyO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHICdnIk64
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXflx7mIMl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aMOXkjZoh
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurog2SuO91
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YR0grtzgd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6XqoEzM75
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqoDa5JsQB
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCeFLI8D7g
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9IKlaN4CR
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4NR8BQg6q
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9PokogXVP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdRUoGp1tI
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwRN9Xa64I
「還不行……要……呃……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkG8Gu3jqP
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOK70hno7
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6Ld1Nuzs
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OWZ9bMP2T
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiHGw08k0a
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanTlh13y9M
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFfqI1KrZ
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8g66XXWh1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMXvMp4qv
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemJtBnOL9x
『可以了。』92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5l6jCYEJq
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEffUfWAedm
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaveGyDuzs
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Xw1k28zo
嗵嗵嗵！92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw78U8HwZhe
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD84Xm2pbiz
「行刑！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraAElZp6qr
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qGR4KP5Io
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjFjWa26vX
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4TtRq5BTk
「我呀……」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZrNyZ7f4F
魔女突然開口：92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXjvTHBEFR
「是天使唷～」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanhd3Omjc
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYGd8b9Sg
嘩啦啦——92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtMvegvuXf
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7bzA1hAld
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTKiNSEhL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr5Q13cVdm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIY0ig3mi
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlhwNSjEv3
滴……92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFawgeTUxw
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecNl2oWFKb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmnw13VD5I
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJ8AW1H1W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkVuYVm8bB
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4plmy5uTD
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f9B78QCM9
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjzgWjAbp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HDgxc07Wd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ730AD6qdT8
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmkrY4ZiW7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX7PGHVdkt
