他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。798Please respect copyright.PENANAYKRBMabkVH

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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAJvBPhcwain

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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAqIfQ6SznHK
798Please respect copyright.PENANAk2fRrgDRfC
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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAnHSI8QpYOd
798Please respect copyright.PENANANqeuElrNdr
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色,不禁眉頭一皺。798Please respect copyright.PENANABZyekc0753
798Please respect copyright.PENANAMkQwRyC1si
他慌忙補上一句謊話:「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」798Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNpm6f1ib
798Please respect copyright.PENANAzTzjB1HqgI
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。」798Please respect copyright.PENANAVHFFvQLxfG
798Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ3RDKvflo
他沒奈何,但只得接受。798Please respect copyright.PENANAZRH93Mm0AY
798Please respect copyright.PENANAzkDPvR8n42
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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAhs5HUjMXPs
798Please respect copyright.PENANAahfapJmnrB
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!798Please respect copyright.PENANAP44MhhNVdv
798Please respect copyright.PENANAdEfEZTXQUH
領取報酬後,他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。798Please respect copyright.PENANAzs4jT8tvmL
798Please respect copyright.PENANAmwxwvZUqLM
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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAhst66UvbGX
798Please respect copyright.PENANAtWD0m8zqDO
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。798Please respect copyright.PENANAmifyxAZiEN
798Please respect copyright.PENANAMDb0T8wn48
「聖誕快樂!」798Please respect copyright.PENANA8gm0tjs8ce
798Please respect copyright.PENANAf6MjVGayQs
「新年快樂!」798Please respect copyright.PENANA7s3Zgn6H2G
798Please respect copyright.PENANA0g0Xz9uky1
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。798Please respect copyright.PENANA53WVTCIcdB
798Please respect copyright.PENANAdmBlrStfV6
未來?那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。798Please respect copyright.PENANA2SlnWomb6U
798Please respect copyright.PENANAummR7qFsc7
倏忽飄雪漫天。798Please respect copyright.PENANAtwzNVeiNhs
798Please respect copyright.PENANA066SvLnZcq
寒氣徹骨。798Please respect copyright.PENANAYDQCWnWLBq
798Please respect copyright.PENANAOQeF27pUrb
回家吧。798Please respect copyright.PENANAsaTNM3K3GN
798Please respect copyright.PENANA3PjNOIYozV
走進貧民窟,拐入曲折的小路,十分鐘後才抵達家門前。798Please respect copyright.PENANAFk2UXAUmUV
798Please respect copyright.PENANAG24dbW8CCg
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。798Please respect copyright.PENANAXtEZ2pQ3Tt
798Please respect copyright.PENANA0z3TMmFvT1
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。798Please respect copyright.PENANAoWoLWoAPkK
