在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQcUPdZ6M0
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWQv0rdn8
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnOnWTAfaU
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWq3AQZHCX
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVNrL45rOp
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZFeCuMZuy
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BRwNc0jre
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM82dPwqeTH
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fzDBiN49S
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnACSwMgMi
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aP5xC5I3t
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXOA9Ntyk
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQPOawfUtF
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgF1b4Lzay
「嗯，沒問題……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitHl3gBGKA
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvKzC2rJ6u
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyePw8F5bw8
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHWGPN2dDi
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvPO99vVIo
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTedtDMVCk
「唷，小修女又來啦。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEIf4Yulb
感覺魔女有些無精打采。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMHucyGrK9
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQexcaM0k
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQcsyHmq7U
「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？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7TYAx2sQV
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Wqr2n2VX
魔女沒有回答……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwa4bFK5z8
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFu1TL9zA0
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbYWYL7DU
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXEbiK2RUA
「魔女小姐？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uwKC7PIUT
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaFtZ3WpS
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKdrQY9gwb
「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！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNvkwTnmfs
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj4J3If2KP
「看來，您很有自信。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII2XdErZB5
「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！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySoTNS7faE
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVNSEtbSI7
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa4TLA6z0c
「呵……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSpFpU5alW
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFjs77OAwS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEATgQZZVe
「別擔心，小修女……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGMFPniShh
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9QMkqmJZ
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBE1mJtlsG
魔女淺淺地笑著：86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ruLLIgqi
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgAP24BQu
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1LyPi4ZW
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBwMCWwLp
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……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvM3lHWKxe
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2X9jAy05
中午，很快就到了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSStrMvTZaa
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3YOFO67Sg
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjHRL7pvB8
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7mgwdXszz
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL2M6A7qAD
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jP46jSq9m
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBuLGTDXGP
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnycYWRA0d5
「呃……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMeDy7Oh8w
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISvrioIh9U
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzhrjUXQpV
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gM1wITIMb
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t9MMIjXwg
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaNNGwHGBX
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGz7n0fEF3
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q7q8f9Jy0
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiH9YWk7lK
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfctDvJ1qy
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrW34TiQRY
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p60xE5bPF
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……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpETFVgaitf
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjtOwuAizn
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ389EQIYpxb
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mDhWSIMBI
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9FX5eN3u
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4S10xMRYr
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHxIFni1vT
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iPE6oBGM
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqCtHrwdON
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATFVSEJGl
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON1tyfvSUJ
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdasrfeBka
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjb99mX2OB
嗵嗵嗵！86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVnpxI7G0X
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHnMcxIk7Q
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yv8yj6edO
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4KBfpygrA
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRODXjlyupo
「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！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5cOx9G8IG
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqhqJSU6P
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SyLl7YVPI
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBvM9ll5ti
但魔女沉默不語。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hCqm84RFt
未否認，可也未認罪。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kBRfplsHD
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2QM0vuBh
塞繆爾接過法槌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmRYoTTe0G
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgLw56kqsD
嗵嗵嗵！86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDBDROZUaF
輪到他了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL9BtVGapE
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR8ben74De
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmQLtL9wMO
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EvD2gpkRN
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHniu98Rrja
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8mQLvpWXc
「把蛋糕送上來！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRyhKU3lDq
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvrAVPuJUV
「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！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufMEcLIqmy
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgus4IS1B
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6nUeFeG1
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZuPTKDksx
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzsTMsx6N
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkHOGd5bLK
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOvHUf6q4S
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qvrPHVzyC
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjei31DFX
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FLZ4xayE
塞繆爾點了點頭。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4UDC1WyvM
「沒有反應，好……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGeh1lyuko
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqgl1rKtE
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9AQmFhXq
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggq8Fjcxlf
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdJAIDrhop
「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……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrMKOom4nL
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIn9LiXzj
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l0NV7JyMV
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErUSm7tdrf
「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……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFKyH3kiRn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJO3fccIUH
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……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJieR6fuFY
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgL6qkt8xf
「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……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsin1pnpF0
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfS6itiU77
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HcBuGxSpq
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSlCMIBlTm
「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。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzXB03rzNJ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkZLcZSPhR
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXpf5lNnuH
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2VJcQNuYi
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0lukhySEY
「還不行……要……呃……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZG0j0iqR
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyG0JAufny
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFBHHOsbr
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetmn4oNrT
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHh5MTP654
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqWATw2Wao
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJLUGOH0o0
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cOqYmhEYg
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：86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nM8eANDXw
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbcX9IazlW
『可以了。』86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyjzZK5Yae
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjme7d695w
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ256xrxcyOj
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTDt2IaQPT
嗵嗵嗵！86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57VCDwNLUk
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqcYi2zVGA
「行刑！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLceSgZIRGU
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Kziy6BXJ
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMQwM1lWw3
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43RsG8nY8Q
「我呀……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3f1sF0rb
魔女突然開口：86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStUNiiKW1b
「是天使唷～」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACxOeKlaYo
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecRAw9NSMR
嘩啦啦——86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOgi5lP38
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF63clDvbF1
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6EPmzigXf
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYHMEX0DJC
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWe8MhYOls
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZmyowJRz
滴……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XTJFv9pPj
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwEKwJs936
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……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpZKhHqHMn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyd0XHp1yY
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。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvy8QA4cq
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxgAclDZlN
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFe3g58PYS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bvWbZGxdo
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22k1W7DKQV
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZvnqlmZY3
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsM9lC8svd
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4x3VgPskn
