他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwFNsQlBv

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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzHN4KnbH
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDotEAup92Z
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0JmlwkGCq
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzYPJgApO
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSzgg6EDyE
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI78uypl15M
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oC9fJCibk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W17cMXGSU
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5UwwTWxij
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkh5Gb9UIn
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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtOnoHvDFJ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBO5mYZXem
他沒奈何，但只得接受。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7nZgKHi7V
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDWLb2Mxsd
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeAi5WBkOj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WoKpJjPH
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！856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXicUXfujx
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOklNlY8jZG
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaxOqW5H0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYZZKGUJSj
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlhLPS3P3U
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtfWOBqqs5
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJzCR7zX1D
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1bhc5JR1P
「聖誕快樂！」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tiL24i7tG
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoa8wkiLbJ
「新年快樂！」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpzQ23Mtz
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkp5FhUhsM
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuYkMxzyG
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC3vaJsavS
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gztmRHl66
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqivtEz7vfs
倏忽飄雪漫天。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODAl6ZLnq5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx6idosTBv
寒氣徹骨。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlH99tLhIb
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVDE1fJc3X
回家吧。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNX4V4Nr3G
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yDcOPrlod
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWqLoIpvO
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab4RC51s9U
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTConcZid7
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHeXw2ieq
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpmqycvV91
