在阿嘉莎和塞繆爾的勸說下，米德魯神父妥協了。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIEHihu3J
提前的火刑改回原本的時間，將在今日中午開始行刑。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXeBbKXXTC
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56kBVQf6q3
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUO6HJWtm
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrOCBivHTF
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDY3E8kiy
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZdHIfvtp
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsR2omqe0b
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJXp8PCfI
「杜比斯先生，杜比斯先生？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpE8X9LF4R
阿嘉莎搖了搖衛兵，喚他起床。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbatVTRpNKE
「嗚……呃……阿嘉莎修女？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IrX9BfQIs
「能讓我進去嗎？我要送最後一餐。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjUXmAqf4n
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6tjkhqXr
「嗯，沒問題……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8fGBiLMn
衛兵杜比斯點著頭替阿嘉莎打開了上鎖的倉庫門。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotOmnhiURq
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFH5nquNAW
倉庫內，魔女仍靠在牆邊，閱讀她那本沒有封面的舊書。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrQDfstg1z
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwdZXr2owz
「魔女小姐？」阿嘉莎小力地闔上木門。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHaP7GaUJ2
「唷，小修女又來啦。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5EusZPNu
感覺魔女有些無精打采。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLTNG83rL
「你怎麼了，魔女小姐？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZ641paOh
「沒什麼，昨日等你們有些緊張……不過看起來你們成功了。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerMIUfmde
「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？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDah1dypB
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMp7kPt3M8
魔女沒有回答……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM98gljlTn
阿嘉莎好奇地回望。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPqeH2Wm3S
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slvvqDy0f
只見魔女低著頭，渾身顫抖著。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNMphCjwOs
「魔女小姐？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy6W21MZdk
阿嘉莎有些擔憂，想靠近關心她。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X7abfZEiV
但手才剛碰到魔女，她就意識到——這個人在笑……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLcrtvEbpW
「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！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULAbEksZ00
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb5UrbGi6N
「看來，您很有自信。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbomaMtQMK
「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！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyCJLbu2KH
阿嘉莎點了點頭，微笑著將食物整理好，放到魔女身前。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETLwW9L2L
「瘟疫要來了，我希望您真的可以幫助我們……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhcnqGsBN
「呵……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwZsa6xc2c
聽到那個稱呼，魔女停止了笑聲，看向阿嘉莎。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsnH3wWmu
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXpnspRnf6
「別擔心，小修女……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlI1ogcDu
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMoF8wOZmu
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwTEFWEk5N
魔女淺淺地笑著：98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVsuOkHney
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPApuNHdYL
「畢竟，我是……嘛～」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yxQnmcKht
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHOE5IRN5f
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……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10b0EWEW2K
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryI5BrfmPx
中午，很快就到了。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxpE7v2zi
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiraiFRHgG3
村民們早早聚集到了廣場，將村中央的廣場擠的水洩不通。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs31izdWg3I
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunpfJ9vvMI
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q3uBgMLpy
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKPohkZmyr
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxQay726KH
塞繆爾緊張的用指甲搔抓手掌。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SP2WND5t4
「呃……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIu1vEK86J
一個沒注意，竟然抓破了皮膚，一點血從中流出。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U2D9gffgW
「你很緊張嗎，塞繆爾兄弟？」米德魯神父遞來一條手帕。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0F2pgJbk1
「謝謝……」塞繆爾道謝後用手帕按住傷口：「是的，我很緊張……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7aYpBTAZ0
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjNdbwMhwJ
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEOk97EulU
說實在，塞繆爾都不知道為什麼要派自己這樣的法官過來……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mGGBLVWj
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPHbd15hEu
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bAqKBXmiC
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKXG4WgNs1
儘管被粗繩捆綁，推著進來，但她仍保持著一股優雅的感覺。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m3N1dKsMP
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU6uOmaWfH
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……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffuwSAzSND
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡego75MAbrf
魔女登上刑台，所有人都沉默不語。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPpi0iXPgW
她站立在台上，正面朝著陪審團們。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY5H7RAtXF
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPzzKWFimY
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyPka9hGVe
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VfWh83Qjp
沒有證據、沒有依據，犯人憑甚麼站在刑台上接受審判？98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3zGkNqWAT
如果以神之名可以審判萬物，要法律有何作用？98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMp160fnZ6
他無法下定決心，敲響法槌。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8sq5U0xS2
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50DuV7rKIg
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfE6CTcEhw
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpFppTZ2kh
嗵嗵嗵！98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiZepz0wvp
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Ext1SWSx
米德魯神父敲響法槌，示意最終審判的開始。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTpLRNWjQd
「無名的魔女啊，這是你最後的機會，你是否認罪？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RmCeH22iQ
「我何罪之有？」魔女沉靜地回應。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jEnHm7OvO
「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！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qBwHX9mKG
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN69oew1gy
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPWLPgZ0Ve
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSd0oCmp6K
但魔女沉默不語。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GYXm4M2Xa
未否認，可也未認罪。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VOt2mZyZq
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bTo1Yvh5u
塞繆爾接過法槌。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryScaHgJv0
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmn0e7EsJl
嗵嗵嗵！98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EQoEdJhbR
輪到他了。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGwAVlIME
「被告，依照現行的法條……我將對你進行最後的測試……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeuLhzIrdb
他看著手上的羊皮紙，上面是他提早準備好的流程。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM447XOFVMJ
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcWt91Wl8n
既然如此，塞繆爾決定進行項在他看來很沒道理的測試。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav7X7qT6G4
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E1Ng8Y2TM
「把蛋糕送上來！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguMwt7VRyg
隨著塞繆爾的命令，村人推了個小蛋糕出來。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRJLvoKZKr
「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！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZV25xTcfP
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DUMobzvK4
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OPVqMQ1Rk
很快，一條黑狗汪汪叫著被牽了上來。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTCAE9XGFz
牠看起來餓了很久，一看到蛋糕便撲了上去，撕咬起來。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPi5GLyQe
沒一會蛋糕就被吃完了，所有人都默默注意著魔女的反應……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c60IHW682
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCriAJqc9
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWaobf9a7
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3Fkf6zCa
米德魯神父皺著眉頭，表情不悅。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kuXwXvGrP
塞繆爾點了點頭。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI4QqWdJgJ
「沒有反應，好……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgal8tuRq9
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqR7LiAqDE
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNQReTmfN
「我將，朗誦法庭已得的證據……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKeEp3SZK
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBYAsZDHCN
「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……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwVOdjwU5I
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYoSxlePZC
塞繆爾推開他的手，搖了搖頭。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62cPo90ZDS
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDDyE5ug1C
「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……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQim0VUDe
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAd7IGIMJZ
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……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPvOZBFIwO
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hrBxdGmvN
「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……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOkLSLXW5
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupOe7VOdC
什麼東西，塞繆爾越來越搞不明白了。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG09Y1Vvpwi
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG4wvudiLE
「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。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY5edidBwp
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXML1paq2B9
塞繆爾嘆了口氣，又繼續念下去。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUeDqu8yt
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe172mDEr5O
「塞繆爾兄弟，足夠了，宣判吧！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq92YrX7IIO
「還不行……要……呃……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapHbZlet5z
見塞繆爾遲遲不宣判，米德魯神父伸手想搶法槌。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqMoo3nfeZ
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehqQk33FRA
「證據確鑿，準備行刑！點燃火炬！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLOZKJIxK
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhX87GjYqe
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkBj6VPa2D
「住手！米德魯兄弟，你不能這樣！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQTalYy3lc
「你才是，不要再拖延了！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UNVtefYA
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：98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEhH0Gu9pB
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3PX4LFaMZ
『可以了。』98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTUIjHgs6V
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjPpxZAHFs
塞繆爾鬆開手，米德魯搶過法槌。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc3wbeH362
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhaocXsdT
嗵嗵嗵！98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs7KA4k2v5
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9iMwDOh5V
「行刑！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZpNcx2c3c
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTORYrFEPV
但當劊子手正要點燃柴堆時。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigshQj1nX
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEbuzZL1wc
「我呀……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqLHkdgT1
魔女突然開口：98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLS5XKh6Sx
「是天使唷～」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrV0CQhajl
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0cycr4pR
嘩啦啦——98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruEPZXdxfr
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRFgUGdXYj
說話的同時，天空突然下起大雨。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJuVWXsGnN
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhC74MUO3O
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a64EtgR3M
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaI7LbrcCQ
滴……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzjNtAALE2
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhV2KwOBUj
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……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8dhzxGuK
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ30EHo4gL8
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。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8WaQDePBw
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOXj2l5was
也淋溼了劊子手的火炬和柴堆。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8iyTDgbBR
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqRHERiST4
而魔女，仍在微笑，在火刑架上，露出溫和的微笑——宛如天使。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB90CFYr1y
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjylUtZ5XZY
這場雨下了足足三天，魔女被暫時關回倉庫內。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN6iYLK39K
她留下的那句話和最後的笑容深深刻在所有人心中……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbgUkdkXZH
