他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡendZnD46sW

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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqY3Q4lmav

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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngmobop6pF

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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh5xIIBIZo
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvck6ZFbAHM
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqmbnvpJJm
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaZpjIVBLX
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3grM4IpY
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDO8NCL6un
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。」866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCV3JB3yr
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIdTsbPDR
他沒奈何，但只得接受。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aNeP5NHvW
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRFd6skRg2
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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hoashxrP7

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！866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRssqzhQQz
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLZeDSiYJ
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj80XLxIWGR
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakMiHhScaw
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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG0QW5yeRZ
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD614pmwXI4
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVl6d978q
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOYk3RTRVw
「聖誕快樂！」866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAF3G1X8qZ

「新年快樂！」866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGI2lke8zb

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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl4AIEh6qI

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX1V20AiM6
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg6v3h9ny4
倏忽飄雪漫天。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQIWxLWv1U
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovSNPCN3Ry
寒氣徹骨。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwnELI8mnG

回家吧。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5hvB7DQKL
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOsAneGmKE
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKMwRfnPPx
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5OhVKSSH
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8HFNSeAS
866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiWOvUXzmC
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。866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJkG0NnLVY
