在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWiR8DkQD
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDuarZhQ0t
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfj48GBBS5
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UBM0dMxXq
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh4Uoxr46n
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh1Kpu2W0I
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3QXnAMQNN
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9bW6nKvnG
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM0Lv3oxvo
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA67SMqjeN
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9ZLNAPT6J
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfe6Vrcc0g
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeS0R22pfm
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5v4wyEgj
「嗯，沒問題……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRp3FyuKp
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKYtpeINFC
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpDoNACPgV
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNDAb5rakS
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVPvdGN51
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreDkcWTskS
「唷，小修女又來啦。」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxHYHsNsjl
感覺魔女有些無精打采。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhK7unHQ9W
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSCUy95ci
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zpG3uICYK
「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？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcYgms4CAo
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFta7mIAXCy
魔女沒有回答……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4CzsvAhr6
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k3NDMy40R
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2i1hGbmej
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHDzAvALcW
「魔女小姐？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanDWhGCuIL
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TswXLwSTz
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHReu4WIIJa
「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！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ331v4Aa8
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ87q5IiPJ
「看來，您很有自信。」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxyJllMfNz
「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！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzirT1hzok
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7E1qo4a9
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5CogP0cW8
「呵……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7yZIEsnZC
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAJW5aNmpa
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPL1SzVYh9
「別擔心，小修女……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsf5ZnHJtA
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1FnlVoGyZ
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQteXqU6p
魔女淺淺地笑著：6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU4KHJZvGQ
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTORH6ZaiP
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQnHYrexYx
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6TEbB2iUX
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……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPOanERDsB
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxhzKIrr9O
中午，很快就到了。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHTOmSeEUG
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFqsa9dmw
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP3jNacD6N
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGFvVEQ1W
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvC1aKRvWL
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KHNqklxC
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDzvfE0aMs
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcxky9ngi
「呃……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhQR6Yxuo
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaW2sYMwib
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqm7KeaWbd
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPvGCKJWe
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkmbGOjWsf
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK901sNFywX
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETR7nogdQx
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4dtiSzsjB
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAxQ0dVvWy
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAnQuS42mb
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmlFobyN1k
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4j1cWIiGK
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……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GNuREctOd
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS78zmbqqD
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOfEAI24Xd
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUluJRQyUL9
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdxFTBW15k
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEGInqDFsP
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaz6T73y1F
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBy7ygZXYk
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5G709Btq8
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisN2bqPlx7
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmLz9j7XK3
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgR0IToJ3v
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOAt3ril23
嗵嗵嗵！6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMza0811MBy
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W6Kqx7ISj
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡske5bJxxks
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ468nB9WC3R
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2hpErh0I
「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！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkq5Dew0uY
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93IQqwuazs
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn3uPVKvxQ
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQZfLFuIb
但魔女沉默不語。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9JNEYRy85
未否認，可也未認罪。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiBenTDVyK
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmIDRKNH9
塞繆爾接過法槌。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iV5nURSbK
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXKJf8x32j
嗵嗵嗵！6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJys6ynG8
輪到他了。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc92PtVfsBN
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29HKxKaMMu
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID0VX68leu
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXrjQ8c28j
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAjWjAEjtT
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PNnZviVRh
「把蛋糕送上來！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIQafjUO9u
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4MA8sUFfY
「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！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYsI67xoLi
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoZm0U6IP
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLscQiiu1Fy
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug90BKaP3c
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnOIKJX0G5
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqWWkTF3tw
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaONtdwvTj
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OI7PcLM0u
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoucuYhLz1q
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnnQLBgd9
塞繆爾點了點頭。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqoXZ86RCj
「沒有反應，好……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWFE0ZMbY
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xnv2Ig5cO
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvCuA7oxgg
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBG3gjMIMF
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCQWOUGQzM
「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……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl5N85WHY9
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwGaMtL7Yv
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfrSdMftTw
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IxrSxPsH0
「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……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZebrUwMnCd
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZn24G4DEV
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……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDsovr04z
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcugoFouqm
「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……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdGk87KgKM
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNO97PXzyt
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCKnLup5hi
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIzlCfw8Ex
「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。」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn3ffWIL9y
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl3SxqUzle
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBohFg8L2E
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ztSwERfA
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNIPP2MNKG
「還不行……要……呃……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLAGNIBvnz
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcbCrYNpy
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIWL6NMIkt
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMeRyQ1uWZ
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3rrzHgJDb
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09JEqlbwyw
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFFyLnnMe6
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJ4YqIxA9
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：6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrZFtcYoFz
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20DSP4N6z
『可以了。』6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPYC7qFZQ5
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoGW7GgmkJ
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjOQAkfYNx
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGzvHNNzOL
嗵嗵嗵！6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrcqRPn0tV
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL4D0y8eO8
「行刑！」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBg5aXFXL7
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOXkB6WX3g
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibTxWiJ7bn
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZWmRIue9o
「我呀……」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81fWeQXaqF
魔女突然開口：6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWXp0Ww5L
「是天使唷～」6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsUDCs1Dox
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSsiKwV2JB
嘩啦啦——6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fde8EVs3u
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGOI41AhkX
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAigrUb8dbR
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbcFkOAZuI
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JCmYNxXN
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNpmP8GUY4
滴……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXE4MMBN9T
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZG5oGH3oV
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……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqFvWDTXk
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuqAgRQjjY
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。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBao2NpvOFD
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3DrPRfaBK
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEPJPKGYEJ
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogm4vxhz3a
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkuO22MPKi
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwS8EoFpte
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm7Vj0yfMr
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYAfvAgf3u
