他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPUpmGMw74

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。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuw9CYY63t

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，匆匆前往諾克斯博士的辦公室。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEOj8EK9vd
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcqcerDhCJ
聽聞合法的屍體供應不能滿足研究需求，不少解剖學家願意花大錢偷偷買下來源不明的屍體。諾克斯博士就是當中尤其闊綽的一個。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PBsGC3cR5
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whAvBheZV
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOQPosM1ms
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpTfRmsnjG
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitZ7eXKMA7
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbEkCHXSJd
諾克斯博士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。」1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw8ndMsuYG
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4NLZFMqxx
他沒奈何，但只得接受。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXXjMFInZX
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZBndr8qV
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯博士的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgojTsJ8SQG

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！1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LZdWJ8GNy
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQTJq9OEoD
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkLjek4Cd
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnclNqKiFsw
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。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kDdHlgOUm

城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUfDPZTp1i
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijyPU784sZ
「聖誕快樂！」1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghAwogR0Ms

鄰近富戶不約而同傳出歡呼聲、祝福聲，訴說對未來的憧景與盼望。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9qqtJXngW

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpRHkS0QJ
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLk1WHRI8a
倏忽飄雪漫天。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHH0lhhugy
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPF8CUZMJD
寒氣徹骨。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYulGRVkM

回家吧。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3NgAIDQUu

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltGPjom5W6
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhq5KzHDeJ
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyT7AfmMi4
1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP26L2Ir6g0
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。1005Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8G7Sr6aP0
