他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ170hLH7Zk

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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZsRwTFb1W

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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWRixKS1sR
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WxVhJO5uc
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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kLyXWEUKw
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnErL2Q4Sz
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqqOie4rbL
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U55us7HR8
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uUPglsKwc
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaQYA0y2f4
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。」921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLP7ZAtdih
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcw5KTyBc0
他沒奈何，但只得接受。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIl8h58QvZ
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbksOWx3PvN
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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnxDOVvaUm

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！921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97jC0y5VWk
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ie5TgK3CT
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5BSHh6jnu
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKd5ePyEgt
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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkti0Cny1ZA
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDQyEZy8HR
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE65gxBk5h
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHE3X4PaD5
「聖誕快樂！」921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGcamodh94

「新年快樂！」921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qcECa6Ccr
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPcS8e1X2
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。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL8GB95gZa

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXxt6KmHvO
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4AmiajR7
倏忽飄雪漫天。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO0RTU6U8F
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP5yILKJdc
寒氣徹骨。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0RbRclII
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXLRC8Ogie
回家吧。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRCsFoIGkS
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzigejF9VG
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8iGFK1PQg
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPbqlWW4l
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvzp2S3WkL
921Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjgGhTG2lL
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。
