他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkoEgS5ePc

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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxnf6y2tcC

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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R834dXxzl
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTFgArDmr
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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fGPPv7My8
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjsFicYJFL
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTbNZOMss
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNkpc9fFyz
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmadCShhKG
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrkmQQrx8
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。」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpQzZnjez3
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44RKchxLjX
他沒奈何，但只得接受。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ05ykhGqA4
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq22Vgd99kc
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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK6EbtLITk

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！752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgAcg3Dew
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgud4djzWK
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlsJZevULU
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJROcXSIZGs
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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWubuIMe1NO
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvt4DTagYQ
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH65q2fz3e
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8foKkxqxAK
「聖誕快樂！」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbEoYvDknS
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlU3u110yL
「新年快樂！」752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9WOO8HdkD
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt3gJNZ5Zb
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。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XURqkeSsR
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF77W0YUBj4
未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIgObWXT2O
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYvhJ2uKhc
倏忽飄雪漫天。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNUi6mAzV4
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQi6UK1xIQ
寒氣徹骨。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwHV22KhZ6
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQtamdsKvN
回家吧。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuKdPuYYOd
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ttwYHoZ6z
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsxrNiANaa
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv18jU1Kmu
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0u9l1YKWi
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs6uOPUqHL
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。
