在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljbjc9Mtq
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkToj4JIJdV
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5QB8b9td
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fHfqQlKn
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCeSiHBiZa
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjzNycCcfe
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAZV8d3KLW
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUerp4NJLfX
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PufgmXP0F
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8PJ5ADk9f
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3ANDeBMyI
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkZVprE9Zi
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBZRyIMwF
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogKU9uCl77
「嗯，沒問題……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnAMUu3Uim
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRwwHNlxg6
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO7P67YIPG
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw0bvuHZb8
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQkoOaHPQ9
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzuGgqmBU
「唷，小修女又來啦。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYspDubPAA
感覺魔女有些無精打采。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCjztM5nB0
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNttUgg6oU
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvlaMiYAc
「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？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrtpfC2uHg
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4RkP2cQ1N
魔女沒有回答……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GOmpczftY
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ILO3vanJ0
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4EyUgYsC
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs7R9DQNnW
「魔女小姐？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzebFJkyv6X
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qcn7O4MEe
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQR9yoa15
「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！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ysIloN4Cd
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyacqzsY5Hd
「看來，您很有自信。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN42MMElV1
「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！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR2orKGDeI
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mQscJgN7z
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnZHolHsIZ
「呵……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejsSL08S7
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MVauwnHT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw87oZPXhg
「別擔心，小修女……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxBQGGtxmm
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo0j1miRWa
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf26fcjBtiB
魔女淺淺地笑著：24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9H3PFvPGL
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDOAO7izME
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImvK87VF8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwnveM6Ad
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……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5sL6hrsA
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kWCpcCD6
中午，很快就到了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMvDqmrBQv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZBMu7A2Pr
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEeWEbFKkq
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyeBOk5JhY
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdqLemNbFY
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYhbyRGe0f
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtV1DKGvfX
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikeuxrmQDO
「呃……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7MZpKQdBJ
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHHwCIrCqj
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHE5UtkUDe
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4UD0DLGRX
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRvjBvSpVe
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3saxGBZPlT
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVxqJedFqG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdks2sr1Id
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6RCQ0Cx8V
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNPuAXYcaE
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgtSS3awjT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRXB7C7OIV
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……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHxr0lVAXE
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiZhkNb2Nf
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU9uMcoF4W
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JWSboo6rD
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiI4Nm9xIs
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KtjUXpNdl
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPG8B6q5M
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwljYFACtU
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzMFsReBMN
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgCfbUdl5h
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jIFQuflaO
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt33yYCyzQ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYFqHKqnCq
嗵嗵嗵！24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBtZIEK5ho
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMg6SEFI8V
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1BumWUQDE
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpXbVMZXOJ
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTZSBL4EM
「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！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0NR96lbo
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXaR64pQ2
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5MNwIroY
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoETTpjW2zC
但魔女沉默不語。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN2jvlX5Ja
未否認，可也未認罪。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fYHY3imqd
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyvxbjjMjU
塞繆爾接過法槌。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FPr0sjmT5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX4L0ZH8td
嗵嗵嗵！24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o8BUGy8iz
輪到他了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Qy5K9ixZ
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsORADOwW5W
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4tt0FNn4S
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ5PvJV8Bt
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnRnQu7Ckt
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0VDq961bh
「把蛋糕送上來！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9agKzPORCk
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUA8AfS2QR
「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！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75HkH3yLCX
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGM2kFmnwI
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY92nm6UQi
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQlp6FWYQ
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX8Qq4PRwA
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQbZua7XGD
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnpdcBRfbI
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIzCLgnXyA
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq7rQpAEtg
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XwtEZ54pP
塞繆爾點了點頭。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1HK0f5QLv
「沒有反應，好……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD77ydpNoE
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZO4fqCJ4
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQjw8RRJrX
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26bqQqMtuw
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRPvxgUgZr
「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……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q9EJWb8pk
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRYjW5yjU
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLxLFLT6l1
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUZbGzAqkI
「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……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSFeEOpGvW
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFVpSrDFqi
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……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIg1I88AvV
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTgnMvV5DX
「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……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtxQpdGNY
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIbyTvpKhr
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDbEcq5dPM
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYvHcXXOcd
「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。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwpDLpza8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5JRBctWI
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62pA3BcIJL
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMTE129xfx
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpRrgNEY3e
「還不行……要……呃……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZI5MPnHc6
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ti3d2i1r5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCxu2VKnZ
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuTKSICpG
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlDvIg2XEs
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5LJSUB4lp
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJAVywlrAe
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdIxTAsa1
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：24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSwJYWDrHi
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezI8pXWigd
『可以了。』24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBYuFLUN3O
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoAstl143y
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57OpnAc2w1
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBxSkWiBXX
嗵嗵嗵！24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqt5YcakRv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1K8cSTm3B
「行刑！」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfk20hDehk
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqFB1bWoVh
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIyu1NHElm
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqekkv7zc0E
「我呀……」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdZAoEIdi2
魔女突然開口：24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWVKZh6cFY
「是天使唷～」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZda5AzgOI
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidWKLNkCGg
嘩啦啦——24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkPCDyNYI8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvnv66SpQL
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41j21BBTks
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxLApSC8sD
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpRTZXk9Rm
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DuOd6ovAE
滴……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsvoOcTiU2
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtoW1ktFK
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……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya1bCKGchq
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbdrLOhPuH
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。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfYzWS5WDy
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDv7pl5V0T
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3aJ6vcuP
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWP7mE0Gw
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIuQ2s0pYT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvbACE51C2
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9p169DKG
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlwmIrwA36
