When Cangye came back to his senses, there was a noise in his ears.

"Hurry up, the trial is about to begin!"

"Has the witch been caught, thank goodness, the Lord is protecting us!"

The surrounding environment is a dark alley where dirt and filth coexist, and the surrounding houses are low and covered with black oil, and the sound just now came from the corner of the street.

While Cangye was sorting out the situation in front of him, he immediately found that his body was running forward uncontrollably, following the people.

The already narrow streets were crowded with crowds from all directions, and all around him were filled with all kinds of foul language, but all of them were insulting the so-called witch.

From the mouths of the crowd, the main information was extracted from the night.

This is a place called Yanan Town, and one month ago, there was an epidemic of strange diseases in the town, which is said to have started with a pastor's daughter, then nine friends who used to play with the pastor's daughter, and then spread.

The town was in a state of panic.

After a few days, the idea of witches casting spells to harm people began to prevail. Many Yanan residents were convinced, and eventually even the upper class began to believe it, and a huge witch hunt ensued.

Before today, nine 'witches' hiding in the town were burned at the stake, and now the witch on trial is a 19-year-old girl named Serra, before she was found to be a witch, Sara was the most beautiful girl in the town, and she was an angel in the hearts of many young men.

The trial was held in the church, with the priest as the chancellor, followed by the town mayor, the captain of the garrison, the clerk, the big businessman and other prominent high-ranking people.

There is a strong belief in the Lord's realm to drive away all evil.

The night mixed in the crowd, crowded at the door, and shouted with the people:

"Kill that witch!"

"Burn her!"

"Damn the devil, you killed my little Angelil!"

……

In the crowd, the voice of a strange middle-aged man, especially the shout of 'Night', was hoarse with choked and extreme anger because of his daughter, who had been persecuted by a witch.

From the mouths of the emotional crowd, it is learned that this witch is the neighbor of the head of the witch victim played by Night.

On the humble wooden platform, Serra, with her hands tied behind her back, looked frightened and confused, timidly looking at the once amiable but now bloodthirsty beasts in front of her, as if she was too frightened to say a word.

"Silence!"

The priest, who had suppressed his anger, shouted loudly, and suddenly, all voices were silenced.

"Accused: Serra, 19 years old, shoemaker's daughter, do you confess to casting a curse on the 36 innocent, pious, lamb-pure new people of the town by casting a spell on rye flour mixed with horse urine, charred corn stalks, and rat tails?"

On the table next to it were the materials that the priest said he would use to cast spells, collected by a brunette boy with freckles on his face, who was also the one who had denounced Serra.

Nightshade notices that Serra's father, the old shoemaker, has also been called in court as a witness.

The shoemaker looked at his daughter with uncontrollable anger in his eyes, and on more than one occasion shouted angrily that his unmarried daughter was a 'devil', a 'witch', and a 'slut', and even wanted to rush up and slap him hard, until he was dissuaded by the people around him.

As a witness, the old shoemaker almost burst into tears, accusing his daughter of evil, and his own unaware mistakes as a father, and in a few words, he actually created the image of a 'poor father', and many people found for the first time today that the old shoemaker who was once wooden still had the time to speak well.

As if frightened by her father's hideous, devilish expression, the poor girl cried out:

"I'm not a witch!"

"I didn't kill them!"

The pretty little girl was in tears of fear, and the battle before her was about to terrify her.

Unfortunately, no one sympathized with her, and the agitated people still shouted hoarsely for 'Kill the witch', and the warmth that once existed was long gone, leaving behind a sickness and madness that burst out of extreme fear.

The second witness came to the stage as an old teacher, of whom Serra had been a student.

It was an old man with a hooked nose, an aging clock, deep-set eye sockets, and a vulture-like appearance, always wearing a black robe all year round.

He was a member of the church, and therefore part of the upper class of the town.

According to the old man's testimony, Sierra is a girl with an unusually strong interest in medicine, poisons, witch history, and witchcraft books, and that as her teacher, she failed to detect and correct her behavior in time, which is a dereliction of her duty as a teacher.

Another heart-wrenching reign, and the sins of the poor little girl were even heavier.

Although she is a witch, if she is bewitched, she can still be hanged and leave a complete corpse, and she still has a chance to enter the kingdom of God to atone for her sins.

But since it is an active depravity, it must be burned at the stake, and the remaining ashes will be mixed with the feed of the livestock, and the soul will only go to hell, where it will suffer the most severe and irredemptive torture.

There was no need for a third witness, and the priest, who was the chief justice, shouted hoarsely, almost with all his strength:

"The evidence is conclusive, the witch Sella, guilty, and under the witness of our lord, she will be cast into the fire to purify evil and filth, and the remnants of her soul will enter the stomach of the animal into hell, and punish her for her sins with the most cruel torture, and execute it immediately!"

After speaking, the priest raised his right hand, interlocked his thumb and forefinger, and placed it in front of his forehead in the shape of a pupil, witnessing the whole process of the execution with the sacrament.

"Nope! I'm not a witch, I'm innocent! ……”

In her cries, Serra was dragged by a triangular hooded executioner, nailed it to the wooden cross with a slender nail, and then lit the firewood placed under the cross.

To the applause of the crowd, the witch howled bitterly under the purification of the sacred fire until it was impossible to call.

The process continued at this point, and the night woke up.

It's still the town of Yanan, with its ivory obelisk and hundreds of gates.

As soon as he woke up, Cangye suddenly found that the period of blessing had been inexplicably cut by two hours, and the shadow of Yanan had disappeared, leaving only burning torches on the ground.

Pick up the torch from the ground and comb through everything you just saw.

What the witch case that happened in Yanan Town seems to mean, as well as the sacrament done by that priest, must be related to this clearance.

Picking up the torch, the night walked through the portal where the shadow had appeared just now, and immediately entered the door.
