366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpugaqoiuTK
「人死之後呢，就比較單純……留給後代的東西，能決定他的價值⸺努那受試者跟帝國受試者都是罪人，但是，他們為病毒研究奉獻己身，就能留下價值：給家人金錢、給自己減刑。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxMX1Redn

兩人瞇起眼睛觀察。那個大叔身穿破舊大衣，雜亂毛髮與骯髒皮膚，像是遠離文明的隱士。當他正想轉身離開時，突然公務人員攔下。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBGno8h5SC
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44TlGRs0m6
