倉庫裡的天使 - Ⅵ.第三日

在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2h8fcIQe
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi670bRiZaR
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgNk18oJRS
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLkwKzIYD5
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D28kaAPyO
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBHMTvUiue
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmnuhErbyE
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxuYh6x4AS
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzteJuuJSHH
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvSr4dk6Vt
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPWUTIIQuL
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PVM8CtK63
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGbppHx9aF
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqitnAjIl7
「嗯，沒問題……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTG7r3zq5M
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBJm1yaRK
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErYSv6PsD
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZJuNOZcV
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hZ5sqWqR
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DMWz5k1Ww
「唷，小修女又來啦。」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieYi4H5urs
感覺魔女有些無精打采。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52NVFT1OCE
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXKgqRDUpY
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4cpxhOpd2
「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？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsdcA4gs30
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFFd2YkJCN
魔女沒有回答……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Qe2QEvuN
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2R0LmPLvD
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuebzxT9VX
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV89M049Wn
「魔女小姐？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD0lrvQn0d
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYIfQzoS4
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQGrH6tdCe
「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！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8C9SPrfZr
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZUlxscA3W
「看來，您很有自信。」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9u05fWDe
「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！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ivVDXLaU
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI21Aj7ke0
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9crpZ2UELi
「呵……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPjb7HcDy
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsMmosEjWk
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GyWj1thzb
「別擔心，小修女……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWb2L6EVw9
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFunOWh51AY
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zdUqbDSP8
魔女淺淺地笑著：229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UQ5kGmC5n
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyC4nE9x6f
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3RFcm1BHe
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJefFCwYlyZ
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……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdu3xZ87RJ
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8CaL2lXwn
中午，很快就到了。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSJvLDUsPB
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf3uF90tyY
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3gBaefQhX
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxvF3Rc9By
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4KSbFqehX
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS0pGjBWMM
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3sRcZMqC
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39gBDtsCtj
「呃……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQka5jqX8O7
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU00F4VjPi
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSwzhNJee5
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJdgRUkEz0
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nYXxIdpv3
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RISyxe9Mw
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBbvCACvQ2
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOS5eRHPzG
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7sQ79BZBK
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbOtKCIw2
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNXx4ryEb
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCIrcfUb2d
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……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOp5BVWS5
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez2w6HXYQV
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRELzmhqk
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLjMqNwQwH
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQezwAVgw5Q
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VIxD3IDcm
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1HnsYZjmc
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LY5LxzFq
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0hL3hljoz
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHlZSZ1he
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIekvF706sE
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ofop0XLIb
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhv1oPxKCH
嗵嗵嗵！229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdHbtcXfVx
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs8Rh1Uz16
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGuPoLSOix
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUQ4lt8a42
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLQn4Ss9pB
「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！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyV5IAB5Lk
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUeexsRdGr
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCtuXeNCB
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOXsnmyPFj
但魔女沉默不語。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3NcOIhsWl
未否認，可也未認罪。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cl8v8t28G
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOST922tyY
塞繆爾接過法槌。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s2K5LKRNA
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d3I18W5Uy
嗵嗵嗵！229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUgWXFFPZl
輪到他了。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjGydaxPO7
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLSjChZ80E
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXl6kz9q0d
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4iVH4ndrJ
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12A1JeVq6w
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuwifTLLwK
「把蛋糕送上來！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyNl7D51ms
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGA7bue9a
「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！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMcJB7eXAW
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl52WJwUf4m
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRStLMRh1
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiEHCLIPo4
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQEU3OsnnB
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqYl0kEuhQ
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwgV2YbIXc
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDgt2xWfuT
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJZk2VjblH
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ahjJewJE
塞繆爾點了點頭。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc1X1pi9kY
「沒有反應，好……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT0tAe25Q5
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGuZMUpoBr
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QzmnD4Vwj
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwDdFVqSce
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfu5hrgyT2
「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……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZlFqc1ruV
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDHkwwANI
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5SzLGWgf
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYqwKJ2fKU
「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……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecKDtZFJKh
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQFuAuAoY
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……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlP0EkEV9k
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6zRfJBrqJ
「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……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODJZc4WfKy
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc5xyxPrAN
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt89HpHDuf
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFQzDqjW4i
「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。」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfW8TbNZoO
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIus5vJ4GSl
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uMCWH4x7o
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSr0TSqeqr
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5sK4sfHRc
「還不行……要……呃……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wMFDWZAx
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nxgg1J5W
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdID01IkLl
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZm39xzq7
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHrnsqTOZP
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjhzZAhyG6
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4fWg1gn4
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ZQ0ylyEW
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：229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xScC0rQ5B
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUtYMMVfvf
『可以了。』229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn540KlYDcC
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjscLBMpiI
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FHpNaCF9
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ165iUTalIx
嗵嗵嗵！229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiUcdIe77W
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq8oj3F354
「行刑！」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwzNrKayuJ
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOl5M9lf9w
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50rABAFwiA
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk4pUicoZP
「我呀……」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVkMwcAJac
魔女突然開口：229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc9uyWJCRn
「是天使唷～」229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmFwOJfnpB
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsflzxAYWiR
嘩啦啦——229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zhiwRpLcL
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2IdoJvDYQ
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APoDc2GnR
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKDd8FGlYr
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KHhRX4RnC
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9Lkj0Gha
滴……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoIjW9ssk8
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyHMsyMF3
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……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmIcT7ARMH
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfQEPlLdc
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。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDj7JLJxKz
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5mQFIr1iE
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb0OYKV3ED
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi7b84n5jp
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVRos18kS
  229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xc0SjEqw
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1lLlIsDV4
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhS4QMO1WK
