他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。859Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ11ApwoXb
859Please respect copyright.PENANAiEEVS9cuQY
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANAHLick5mt2f
859Please respect copyright.PENANAyCw2v0K8MB
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANA287DAqy8TU
859Please respect copyright.PENANAmQG8LArIyz
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mnl50Xqoy
859Please respect copyright.PENANAw89NSNDSDF
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色,不禁眉頭一皺。859Please respect copyright.PENANA6L0QSjhJt9
859Please respect copyright.PENANABREwB7mKpm
他慌忙補上一句謊話:「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」859Please respect copyright.PENANAcgEX2icP2h
859Please respect copyright.PENANA9QKMAEZ5jk
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。」859Please respect copyright.PENANA2gsKUDZW32
859Please respect copyright.PENANAuzSCtQk3iY
他沒奈何,但只得接受。859Please respect copyright.PENANA8ROl5AOKWI
859Please respect copyright.PENANANY4H4EdP0W
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANAdu3IxUqQhK
859Please respect copyright.PENANAQ72Wu65ZnF
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!859Please respect copyright.PENANAD4CMJfMPft
859Please respect copyright.PENANAZ69MqERaLZ
領取報酬後,他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。859Please respect copyright.PENANAuh2mlGDeJR
859Please respect copyright.PENANAbPCGdahC5o
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANA8lkTvnaqwy
859Please respect copyright.PENANAPBRN3G8dwV
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。859Please respect copyright.PENANA8XtP2E2f5H
859Please respect copyright.PENANAfGwqTPlZVy
「聖誕快樂!」859Please respect copyright.PENANAsNs5zDHehj
859Please respect copyright.PENANA6KSISARqFR
「新年快樂!」859Please respect copyright.PENANAnzT31ZFObl
859Please respect copyright.PENANAmWxjJMyoZ3
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANAL50N4BxSVT
859Please respect copyright.PENANApTnep7uUyR
未來?那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。859Please respect copyright.PENANAQwpc5ra79q
859Please respect copyright.PENANAEXy1IhBjCV
倏忽飄雪漫天。859Please respect copyright.PENANAFAqp22z3xy
859Please respect copyright.PENANANfhnoXEphi
寒氣徹骨。859Please respect copyright.PENANAsAOHClaWeG
859Please respect copyright.PENANAwbSXHvDICI
回家吧。859Please respect copyright.PENANA5vIF6braIy
859Please respect copyright.PENANAo4xvkTnAQP
走進貧民窟,拐入曲折的小路,十分鐘後才抵達家門前。859Please respect copyright.PENANAkWY5hAnqAh
859Please respect copyright.PENANADIj25gtdmy
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。859Please respect copyright.PENANANglZr7eYnF
859Please respect copyright.PENANAoxj41VEgVr
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。859Please respect copyright.PENANAAf3KTrfkSz
