他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGHfivADK

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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL8ht6ioSm

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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHTb0wxsE
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvcPKRofvP
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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7f1IOdlXn
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBgu18rf2
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHl9f1iby4
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfxpbURYK
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcoelloUAb
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvp5ZPjNUw
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。」863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGW2Gkj65V
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmUhH59857
他沒奈何，但只得接受。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FEqtjzH41
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV4WSCRuhl
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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2wZjcWXBm

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！863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP0VoA2M0o
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDyE90MkG
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pWkmr3Sbk
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc72Owgpx8l
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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RWkyFnK8B
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7castCgu9G
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a42mDejSz
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QgXMari6
「聖誕快樂！」863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9vczs6x7
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5rwEZOItQ
「新年快樂！」863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJanVTTrO3P

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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6yDQ4j6O5

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKrxhqCpuv
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uYkBLxovP
倏忽飄雪漫天。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPvkywLve4
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAkqlESsdf
寒氣徹骨。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn90HnpEJFe
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2Q2ZYWDx
回家吧。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6TGJRyNK
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmEDgfOp5I
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSF9IkAo3n
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJyZQqZKpo
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUytGZ5GWG
863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87cKSKxCZ7
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。863Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEBl4EuBj
