他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw1PnYRTJE

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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflegmP69I1

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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VuNMZTV7

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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZaMR5n4tU
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRgyTX8DdI
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwBYXhZDUK
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNAAJqSJsH
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJnAsCOPOB
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHqJR8i6m5
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。」1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6oyTSSSo
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPlql51Geg
他沒奈何，但只得接受。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OJgJJMS8M
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuugULPA6q
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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2ZO2LcuU

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！1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm38tnN7MFb

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkFbRAV9gg
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LryGMeInI
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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEEbKPMa8a

城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7saPJCN92K
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qN01URw04

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNfEwWofI

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJYsJz3Hw
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXFkv5vIAh
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26DbWIo73V
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKlplkjS6
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。1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh3OQMDBWO
