他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。854Please respect copyright.PENANAXVVWrb166v
854Please respect copyright.PENANARGR2n6nuOi
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAOkadwMHl83
854Please respect copyright.PENANA8d12s4bbz7
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANA2tMc84sOMy
854Please respect copyright.PENANAhps3ldCaB2
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAWoOIFKYuHr
854Please respect copyright.PENANAv3KOU42kYL
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色,不禁眉頭一皺。854Please respect copyright.PENANAzvKBjTQunv
854Please respect copyright.PENANAdpRO0OfKMX
他慌忙補上一句謊話:「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」854Please respect copyright.PENANAsleFlAedYM
854Please respect copyright.PENANA54Ferip8xx
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。」854Please respect copyright.PENANAPWZVAz8mEH
854Please respect copyright.PENANAct7Hq0Hmxk
他沒奈何,但只得接受。854Please respect copyright.PENANAjKGMpLkMpY
854Please respect copyright.PENANAjumiUxHqnj
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAVwmzjGx3hy

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!854Please respect copyright.PENANADTIiWLhwCn
854Please respect copyright.PENANADsKivJNGCh
領取報酬後,他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。854Please respect copyright.PENANAp8acIGHs1a
854Please respect copyright.PENANAJzsVW0bO1m
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAbV3MN4UMye
854Please respect copyright.PENANACicCSoS5Wd
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。854Please respect copyright.PENANAbbvyel7K2G
854Please respect copyright.PENANAOhAUm9NRQK
「聖誕快樂!」854Please respect copyright.PENANAVbW8IvZTh4
854Please respect copyright.PENANAlb36fy2neY
「新年快樂!」854Please respect copyright.PENANAfvW0HLoudW
854Please respect copyright.PENANAzvo64GpQ8b
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAVF9Xq6djTZ
854Please respect copyright.PENANAcd1rAbLh3z
未來?那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。854Please respect copyright.PENANAOdsuKetipE
854Please respect copyright.PENANAsUQwzdF2ye
倏忽飄雪漫天。854Please respect copyright.PENANANeYSpDcjrk
854Please respect copyright.PENANAea88NAqyQT
寒氣徹骨。854Please respect copyright.PENANAsXqCx43sxH
854Please respect copyright.PENANAGAkuQlg0qW
回家吧。854Please respect copyright.PENANALGKwtJlYi8
854Please respect copyright.PENANAqUqdNsrvnp
走進貧民窟,拐入曲折的小路,十分鐘後才抵達家門前。854Please respect copyright.PENANAywZTTszilj
854Please respect copyright.PENANAnSOMBi6zmO
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。854Please respect copyright.PENANAxIJ2vd2PFP
854Please respect copyright.PENANAbU7TARWGKn
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。854Please respect copyright.PENANAG9RKDWPn9S
