"Tituba, it's Tituba!!"

"I saw it, I saw her doing something with a strange statue in the stable that day!"

"Yes, Tituba is a witch and a wizard!"

"……"

Ever since he saw many children possessed by demons and dancing strange dances in the church that day, and Roy admitted that they were demons, people in Salem were in panic.

Everyone was wary of each other on the road. After meeting, they no longer greeted each other as they did in the past, but stayed far away, for fear that the other person was a possessed demon.

Everyone has become an independent individual, everyone is afraid, and the entire town of Salem is completely enveloped in panic.

And just after such a terrifying day, the testimony finally came.

Tituba was tied up and sent to the church. A middle-aged woman pointed at her in horror and scolded her loudly.

The judge in the town looked serious, and other townspeople were whispering, looking at the black girl with terrifying eyes.

"Silence, silence! This is now a temporary court, and everyone must act in accordance with legal regulations!"

"……Since you have accused Tituba of seeing Tituba performing witchcraft with strange statues in the stable, we need evidence. Sir Priest, is it okay if we send someone to search your stable?"

After seriously reprimanding the noisy townspeople, the appointed judge in the town respectfully asked Roy.

He was the judge who arrived in Salem Town yesterday evening and was dispatched by the upper echelons of Boston.

After knowing After discovering that there might be wizards or witches in Salem, Boston also took it very seriously, so they sent a judge to solve some legal problems.

However, even the judge sent by Boston was facing a high-status When visiting a pastor, you must still be respectful. Even if you go to search the house, you must obtain the permission of the pastor himself.

"Of course, this is a normal legal procedure."

Roy nodded lightly and signaled the judge to go to his stable to check.

Immediately, the judge sent people to the stable to search

"Uncle, Tituba must not be a witch, right?……"

Abigail carefully tugged on the corner of Roy's clothes and said in a frightened tone.

Tituba took care of her as a maid for two years. For the kind-hearted Abigail, she had already regarded Tituba as her own relative.

So she never believed that Tituba was a witch who summoned demons.

Roy gently touched Abi's brilliant blond hair and said warmly:"……Whether Tituba is a witch or not is not ours to say, it is the evidence that has the final say."

The black girl who was tied up showed a look of fear and despair at this time.

Not long after, they saw a group of townspeople returning to the church happily. The leader held a wooden human figure and held it high and said:"……This is what we found in the stables"

"……Tituba is indeed a witch. Look at the style of this wood carving, it must be the witchcraft she is using!

The people were excited and accused Tituba one after another.

"These black people are really untrustworthy. The pastor treated her so kindly, gave her a job as a maid, gave her a place to stay, and gave her a mouthful of food, but he even used witchcraft to harm people!"

"Yes, fortunately we found it early and there were no more victims. Maybe she just wanted to harm the pastor!"

"Burn this witch to death. As long as she is burned to death, those children will recover in no time!"

"Burn her to death, burn her to death!"

The townspeople were excited, as if they had finally found an outlet for their fear, and they hurled all kinds of obscene words and accusations, whether reasonable or unreasonable, at Tituba.

Even Abiy Gale was a little angry and couldn't believe it.

Tituba actually wanted to kill her uncle, how could she be so vicious.

The black girl who was being tied up burst into tears and cried:"……No, no, I am not a witch, nor do I perform witchcraft, nor do I harm anyone."

"So why are the kids in town being possessed by demons!"

People angrily criticized her

"I...I don't know either"

"Then why do you have this wooden sculpture? Do you want to harm the priest?"

People shouted angrily again, as if they had identified her as a witch. These are all sophistry.

"No, I will not harm the master. The master is very kind to me, and I can’t even repay him... This is not a witchcraft, it is just a spell spread in our tribe that will make people happier."

"……I just want to make my master happier, because I have nothing, so I can only repay him this way. cried Tituba aloud

"Lies, these are all lies!!"

"Yes, this is a lie, a lie from a witch, we cannot believe it!"

The townspeople didn't believe Tituba at all, and they had no interest in knowing whether the spell she cast really made people happy. All they needed was a scapegoat, a scapegoat called the Witch.

But Abigail believed She believed that Tituba would not harm Roy. She believed that it must be a spell that makes people happy, not a vicious curse.

Abi looked at Roy anxiously, but Roy felt sorry for her Shaking her head.

Immediately, Abigail felt a tremor in her heart.

"Silence, silence, this is the court now, everyone is silent! cried the judge again, silencing the townspeople.

"Tituba, now that the evidence is here, your sophistry and lies are meaningless. No matter how you look at it, it has been confirmed that you are the witch."

"……Burning has been abandoned, but hanging can also be used to hang witches. This judge here sentences you, a witch, to death, and you will be executed tomorrow!"

"Pastor, I know Tituba is your maid, but now that she has committed such a serious crime and wants to harm you, do you have any objection to my punishment?"

At the end of the sentence, the judge looked at Roy again.

Roy just nodded slightly, while other townspeople shouted loudly:"……Your Honor, you cannot wait until tomorrow, otherwise there may be more victims tonight, so let’s execute the witch directly now! After hesitating for a moment, the judge felt that what the townspeople said was reliable and immediately agreed to the proposal.

The townspeople acted quickly and built an execution platform in the middle of the town.

When Tituba was tortured in the name of a witch , When they went to the execution platform, everyone in the entire town of Salem gathered together, waiting for the death of the witch with a kind of vented joy.

Tituba was hung on the execution platform in despair. She looked at Roy , cried and said:"……Master, I know that any of my excuses are useless, but please believe me, I really have no intention of harming you."

In the corner where no one noticed, Roy nodded slightly to Tituba, indicating that he trusted her.

Tituba immediately showed a look of relief and resignation.

The rope was cut, and the thick rope pulled the black man The girl was hung on the execution platform, making her struggle violently, but it didn't take long for her to stop struggling and turned into a corpse.

The townspeople below cheered and praised Roy loudly. Looking at the judge, she believed that the witch was dead and Salem would soon regain its peace. For the first time, Abigail felt a sense of despair and sadness. She held the little bear in her hand and looked at the townspeople in the village, as if It was like meeting them for the first time.

In her eyes, these townspeople had turned into demons.

Tituba died, but the demon's possession did not disappear, and more people were infected by the demon's curse. Xiao The town is once again panicked.

People think that there are more than just witches in this town, and there must be other witches. Everyone is blaming each other, and everyone is collecting evidence.

Neighbors blame each other, father and son turn against each other, mother and daughter turn against each other. They shouted to each other that they were witches, and the whole town fell into a crazy party.

Those who were accused would be imprisoned in the jail in Salem, but as too many people were accused, there was no room for them in the jail. , they could only take out the person who was the first to testify and hang him.

In just seven days, dozens of people were hanged at the execution platform, which was already a quarter of the total population of the town. What was even more terrifying was that even the judge was accused and hanged on the execution platform.

Abigail looked at the town she no longer recognized in horror. Everyone was reporting, everyone was pointing out , order disappears here, rules disappear here, lynching is abused, and the law becomes a piece of paper.

Everyone is persecuting others, just like the Roman Orthodox believers persecuted the Puritans in the past.

History has begun to reincarnate.

Here is the only way Madness, only distortion, only chaos!

……

Just seven days later, when Abigail woke up from a long sleep, she was surprised to find Tituba, who was supposed to be dead, standing in front of her bed.

"Miss Abi, you are lazy in bed today. If you do this, the master will blame you."

The black girl in maid uniform said with a smile.

Abigail subconsciously looked at the calendar on the bedside, and she found that the time had returned to seven days ago. _
