他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLm3BKy7eC

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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYSKsXgD8q

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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOYt8ofkz
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8JuUMySsM
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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnoS2GFCJC
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBwwqAo0AI
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaDjPKuZvD
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtPAhkKgWH
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Su3A4AwhE
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFdjQoH5qu
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。」1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWRQRfFCpL
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy6SfKDK8M
他沒奈何，但只得接受。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhUBaZmOPN
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4DVMgGOWM
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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1CyrGPxxo

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！1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOqlZkhqEU
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JyMyoY9P5
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuhcuXBAYt
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInt2quoDY1
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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtqTZfuiX
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDK1o9gf87
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYacnybqN
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y1sgU5v9b
「聖誕快樂！」1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYD7RVjZw
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSoS4kV0CV
「新年快樂！」1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg4yWWvi2H
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYzPgU7mxT
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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFr37Mpf0Q
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaUYmuEgj6
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0dJM1lrWZ
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2dBdIjv6H
倏忽飄雪漫天。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKKBdWJPPO
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBigczBXWIz
寒氣徹骨。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGYY2Hfoen
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUPTdwKi7D
回家吧。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dFlCbVT7U
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFT5ScyvIi
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlnKUY1hki
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7kLeHX4Rt
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAojq5x95s
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ny7jrOi8a
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。1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddQ9fBq54v
