他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ43Qq3sM7l

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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLyqeJ9gk
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLqK9ER7nl
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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk15al7oTQZ
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35wSPcFp3P
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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gNQ1FhO9O
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSKtTpsGio
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN6ZJbt5eu
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsW3Mxt4UZ
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZIK2WtrF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBTKGMurB
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。」663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoixSOA9j6y
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzJukSFIbx
他沒奈何，但只得接受。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUXLlrNqLi
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUyhbAHzZO
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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnF6cW01g
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEfF87E2mU
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！663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wDQicwDbF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyth1m6Mco
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDngcXmBV
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIyka1GAn
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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGfqhuzo5v
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cujwxMr2a
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBsQ2kEim
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmG1CqFr2z
「聖誕快樂！」663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xU1uWlvcR
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zgP09Y0zT
「新年快樂！」663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd16gIaShY
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx5qP80NlK
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。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe5u0Q9lG4
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIyEJOVVU
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBMgT9jx1I
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnvT7xYzNF
倏忽飄雪漫天。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR5WdmeWbC
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6OcHafcQk
寒氣徹骨。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCDwy5mLC
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdkxqic9Ws
回家吧。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGNLnvFpqN
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesEADMgz4T
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJJbzGMSQ
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiP4iamQJi
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZxOMes4p
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6d90tPFfi
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。
