在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoIYTQkl1T
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ku6B2NxN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTYUsQ0L33
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmmqAxDzF9
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRoIwWZIsQ
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bklq1qwaX
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMhjdMqmXK
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgtm5qGsO1
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jnkKnIIRI
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtjkAniYou
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNkRlbBOO3
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaxrN9iZQi
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo191eVIbHK
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiuKm2D9MU
「嗯，沒問題……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXy4Qh6awX
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVcbBbOdMU
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSNhr9Vdb7
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GsxBwJ0rM
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteZYzxQfqR
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bb7XsC5cF
「唷，小修女又來啦。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHAbyEcMll
感覺魔女有些無精打采。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaABZ0sW1bJ
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXNCrJedz2
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBNaAz5DK
「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？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs59Jf5YWs
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sBoWYrhOG
魔女沒有回答……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hKlMRf2r
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrUjK6Wsql
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF8dRJnV1d
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8bwTimoq
「魔女小姐？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpHx5TGDxd
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRzTOK0Lv
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cwtUAy1Wc
「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！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5Of1O7Ei
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPZps5yjD
「看來，您很有自信。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCMEbizaZ
「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！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNBhgo0Ux
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHTGO8Irx
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLngADkLbuH
「呵……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQs1YyDXDW
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZqT2GqcOR
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8zeaNCd8V
「別擔心，小修女……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdsv08FYDR
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KknWCEW5A
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBkpYOiKGe
魔女淺淺地笑著：46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjWadvelwg
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBI072qH1D
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScoQH80ejl
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx1BQnhNlI
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……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCJ6BBxpFs
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Av8zQYoS
中午，很快就到了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDdvoa09Ri
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOmCHUQDol
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb9CFgU3dT
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0O9uGOzsH
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFnWyUvfU
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnHaKYbQC
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKGFOvKAr
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLz2F3jxmc
「呃……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwPugKYBW4
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGYj3rEkoj
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6lKD1c1DT
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnOJ058lzh
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XlRtHb8dr
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0TAqCqXDF
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Lhq85zWb
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Cv40Jg0R
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MW8eHFIS0
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcONG5OBtf
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi02hEFTmeV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnTCOq1fqn
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……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wSnxZMtd
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniATFEqs3h
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDnLpXmMCv
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gRvuO5dOx
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6VoFQtbn
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY3if71drw
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEaLxGA7i7
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfAEWyfLiR
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg0IN8W5iL
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV1SaWFzyV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AdxY3XleZ
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYX1H90MQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6svY2OeG7x
嗵嗵嗵！46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyQmyqKHA3
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mPpSZbXck
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHmUCXcubb
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EGnAqgUBa
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhND5SaYWm
「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！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVjJtpa4bX
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM3hJUWf4E
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl4uIy3Hpg
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VqY3PVId
但魔女沉默不語。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhiCGPSL6
未否認，可也未認罪。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBf5NrD1VL
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZjA1B4VEN
塞繆爾接過法槌。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF8qphKyul
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdbucO8Ulb
嗵嗵嗵！46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sO6N7DVOQ
輪到他了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7AeyQ33T
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEUWiSbJAs
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0R4O2KXoV
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AYx7eSFy
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Qm7MxxCN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDsy9A5LG4
「把蛋糕送上來！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1GJM6PfMM
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxZbDrupN
「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！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtORAyBi34
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOlKyPlUqc
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPg5i3xuv
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FSA08jLNJ
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeKUnW34TB
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuKZPb5gxG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmAvpfSpyF
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziom9IfDRo
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X2VhWO2oY
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dIg8vrOI
塞繆爾點了點頭。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjFLEOoOwD
「沒有反應，好……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0mVnsQoUx
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR4s7h5Guc
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGxZKL6jDa
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo8ag6rRjZ
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54G2zujLqg
「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……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDgxu9Gbh
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXI36dKoFI
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeddydKjAHm
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRR5igEta
「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……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO96RBjO93x
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5A7RG8CEx
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……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaa1puPNn8
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZOODflVfP
「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……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH734ZFPSO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7KsPE9ngR
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPafw5niHWG
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkJLZJRFqd
「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。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjg6JFTbyC
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBMGvVOzui
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40EBdQkSI2
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0s4ZeiFXR
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHQj7Rk52b
「還不行……要……呃……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3wYmsSCw
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ28CUuev2
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WI46uvh1C
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlziUFbw2Y
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzU0OqYjhO
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ53WF0AKP
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD24KvATI8i
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1xLvSfMW
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：46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9XyibHPj
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzAfZUC8K
『可以了。』46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eCfcIwrJn
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5WcAtt03q
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSZAhJhjLz
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KV9hszA3i
嗵嗵嗵！46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCUVMAXasz
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9ZRtgL4I
「行刑！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdjem0piK4
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4fuGiITrv
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSVEvKg8RU
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ECkpYx8Eq
「我呀……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G9YJHQs9Z
魔女突然開口：46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNpQplI3l5
「是天使唷～」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcdLzzUZNY
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbyOVWGEi1
嘩啦啦——46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUdhtaOFUN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGYgXlRDO
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgasaeSHyo
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYatvELBNi4
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwygBraX3
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumBqtY4Q5f
滴……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSvGbPokpZ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzk7l4F2X1
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……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjyzm3nqa
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTR4exdbN
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。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTIiRwNzqV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy17q5VDLhh
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hvMtZrPqA
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7GfbrHKF8
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFcwkD8lP7
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zWOlNi1ua
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8lG3N4o5h
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmeJIWQKX
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IoxOkkCNM
然後按「加至主畫面」
