他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnr0TCk5BW

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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlYIs9tHHz

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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRSIDNL7TV
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHZ35ECQ5
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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwt61D6EZT
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImidT1cXN
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHA0mAvWg1
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22d5Y9DnyN
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYoUFmaMg6
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh030z8dak4
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。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoIzCrQCyr
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvqguo04yh
他沒奈何，但只得接受。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUqwx9AXJO
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSMUvYtNEP
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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTMjJS7btu

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！661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENMAUQ7mo0
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUPF69qt0c
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXk0obAHeg
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W36upKs7u
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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84UvWRONKw
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu3tmXxl25
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpBWlX0Nc
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2vwcrwsEx
「聖誕快樂！」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoK0wYNaZP

「新年快樂！」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMYApXCnh

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。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGLIv7EeAE

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8AonJJDH5
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5sZWYwbeO
倏忽飄雪漫天。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRpgowFAE
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIflixAR68h
寒氣徹骨。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe5GX18Oky
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFcZyBB2eS
回家吧。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLEFtNwgO
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz05RwlTnO
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAMn3W416Q
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IMmuR2OD
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLXrBFvoL
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBxyS6mEvb
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。
