他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NT1LwAjcu

看著她因嚴寒而打顫，看著她為取暖而不斷劃下火柴，看著她對著火光傻傻發笑，看著她的微笑僵住，看著她一動也不動。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkDwrxWGB8
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMKAYbwwM
他潛步走近，確認她停止呼吸後，俐落地將那小小的遺體放入大布袋裡，匆匆前往諾克斯醫生的辦公室。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWkQXSlejN
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFa7ZzRE8R
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYxSTtg1xE
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjegSvFCFvF
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3gRIRYk7G
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aZG2Aiar
諾克斯醫生還是認為這貨不值一個好價錢：「如果你真的那麼缺錢，可以帶走她的財物賣掉。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzYEt78tbj
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTskmqUwxT
他沒奈何，但只得接受。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEP20H8kEo
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxWaXf1ujk
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯醫生的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ve5jxcLI8

無人生來就是壞傢伙。若非一貧如洗，他決不幹此缺德非法勾當！332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2hNiY48t
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaZNwWfJWw
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB0ZST2jaq
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnwnEuseT
肅殺街景和溫暖的辦公室形成強烈對比，他一下子接受不來、反應不了，愣在原地倍感悲悽。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5JPDf8Blo

城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv7DITBk9P

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4cwo1bYoY

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQhFXGYxV

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W8R50H9St
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM26DggEz7R
他上前一把擁兒子入懷，多麼希望剛才含笑離世的不是小女孩，而是懷中親兒。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebKtKkH3q
