他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsICodfQSy

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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEi5hzt86A

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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQDuFjbP5e
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaUkJAEP5L
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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnumwibojNc
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZISlQKltYV
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh8MDoXZbX
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmeTD3lEHi
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakLD2E2h97
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfQhNcDTao
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。」753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49lkfABp3p
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JNQYOsu1f
他沒奈何，但只得接受。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXShEmFJCn3
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9l2eteYl
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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKCGNCMYSU

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！753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Kb4a2oZh
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXLD0Hrycb
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ejGBlxZv
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ZS2HYYoo
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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua1MnpntrR
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGsJqzuAs
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ugcd6RDh
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoPH1B0zZb
「聖誕快樂！」753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1pzmen9Ds
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JDWpil1WU
「新年快樂！」753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULlEUxVpWa
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEqi1p7wx7
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。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx1f7Y4zWT
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXACVemjlH
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfggOjIwXpx
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGukYGlXCw
倏忽飄雪漫天。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbobmLjXhvm
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73KDjHTncC
寒氣徹骨。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gyg8bnsrJ
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgN2f1qazU
回家吧。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68UcZZiJB
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0KBz2mVQ6
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMP4G9eJ8R
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXJDwF3J7c
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhbq8LLc7S
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSIpme875E
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。
