在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jOg97qHgA
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBiczF5Ort
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbR8MiB9KR
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVzH81QS3
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SdncrbM48
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw02CJCqzXQ
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFHDxNPVL8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhtJhspu4v
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtr2qAkMBu
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmfwxVjjA
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlggn0872s
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLYzNLuXmH
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWj1m8Oo3
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrwfrFgli9
「嗯，沒問題……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTp73qWTYJ
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy0pRxUufv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yqc5Mml0
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblTMf0he0N
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZE0angfH
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWty8KDAAyN
「唷，小修女又來啦。」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3IFRgVrQX
感覺魔女有些無精打采。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaJ8pdw8dS
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcZMHT50Ny
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccFIb8QC0s
「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？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqCRvuGwsN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZKOMSTaI
魔女沒有回答……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggOHiKOKIG
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J9IVbRiqc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWsWIpy5Pv
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkQcSfr1me
「魔女小姐？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOtnVe5OYC
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZAOnFdjEa
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vZNbMV2s4
「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！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfuTVRuKQ
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysqAoygFo
「看來，您很有自信。」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvjaxkJxM9
「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！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwTbYbNUhU
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mxk583zgY
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGNqx6ccd
「呵……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFA2WpPujN
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApunTk9La8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40SpMXNYPs
「別擔心，小修女……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK11eLrMhmV
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMXwGepz36
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aSMGgaxpm
魔女淺淺地笑著：62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNsIKIqtjW
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dE5t4Teta
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLS9CprfTQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhd6Fh6qRu
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……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg8tBQSajq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrGL4iTSBU
中午，很快就到了。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDIOinnnwf
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aSMNs7wL
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaGvd0SN7b
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sw3Pgm2yv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EVReGSPW
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCW81dZLZ6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrQjR0mK9z
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEUW2lJf5V
「呃……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0lVUrYF0k
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFouAqGfpP
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU0KvKUvry
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8LR3JDDI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5DymqguKp
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzxuEB6qtA
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2xiAJIDKb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmDNE0r1aJ
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOery2JZ7L
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS2jYoJKBF
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wl3GHnEcp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyHH8LECbJ
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……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqFgBdx5f
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrbHuVCMDW
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9itcKWsCVw
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJ8VtJqQV
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYhr78vQYY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg4aXIBBnf
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2owjv92NHU
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsojp4VetuH
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzeIw1oYp7
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu9sW4jVXM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioT90wM9hX
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIiBFUz6Yc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXF9ZCXan
嗵嗵嗵！62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG2PhKqljC
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTOkftYTfB
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YcEiezaa7
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGJT3M9N8A
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qe0ESDqD
「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！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV0d52xBv9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxuwNFWqQ3
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipzVqvhJcB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ogZx6NRqR
但魔女沉默不語。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ckOMdJGJb
未否認，可也未認罪。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNeMq5dYw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti1AKW5u0S
塞繆爾接過法槌。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncSp8uOfr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzwYNctTsy
嗵嗵嗵！62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIlMiZfX9O
輪到他了。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA1CHMRJHJ
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs8pVuki7f
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqI6kcyrVB
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqO0hiJguR
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W3JYxqtwE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYY6cRC4ZF
「把蛋糕送上來！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdieQ7mkKJE
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrolg0xaHQs
「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！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qs5jVrY0M
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxMKbmdZY4
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqfZBgL57F
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4sy6cBGtg
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNizsFviR7s
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8QaPXPhYN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkswVe9XKMb
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln43TqaHik
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7odYwbSY
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHUyvCbjOM
塞繆爾點了點頭。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazt1EzirsM
「沒有反應，好……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOURi54ogIj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLySaEs1tE
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvEnHrczyS
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYbcUuV8Jh
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqUxQVyUbe
「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……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP36CD3vTm
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO6VjSIOmF
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYirtAPMVk
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43p7YiX7e6
「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……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6KOa2ayfT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3IkWYLXV3
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……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPxzI2GXmu
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Tf9OwTiW
「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……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ2i7XlaXp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN6uof4sYO
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJnahqYJ6M
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3KSr4t5uU
「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。」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X4ZNt3s2b
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfs4eXNiYN
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyilswAQMI7
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTCvZ2ZF6s
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXrbKvjyKu
「還不行……要……呃……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ndWR7rLZ5
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaEAmUgDtm
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtMisnPBKu
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeswJl69ei
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG65VcPo0p
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWPtse9qf0
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡock9LjPw47
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWQg0JX2oO
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：62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjrPBoWGv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymQ8cTLab6
『可以了。』62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp71OZQI6z
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQd2qdIlKe
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ehun0pdX
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6VtSybjY7
嗵嗵嗵！62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyWqcldP31
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2JY7YEV2A
「行刑！」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKISxGwuNc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zmPzjeoM5
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9dQidhcG
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFbaBgg9jY
「我呀……」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhIRopkGQa
魔女突然開口：62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1j3J8WvoV
「是天使唷～」62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWNqoics5j
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PD6dFiVG2
嘩啦啦——62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0kU3YPwfi
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9hOS9aIi
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2DrQw2QP
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhzsueCpgP
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEmB4xcOfv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGvvjoNVL5
滴……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK38rG4UJi
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8AuxXBOo5
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……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNpbIVecdq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2nEb4DgmE
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。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvBuvuPp0K
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4YpMsqIbE
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oy6u8wdB2
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TsrY6vvIy
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJniKhyyass
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2SDsoQ0OK
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8kIwmfnc
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkISuVBSKbq
