他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qNFVpeesr

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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj6QNObEGK

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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoYBY1SMlb
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJ8XCP32V
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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1TqaA9ozD
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ntsb2U32J
但諾克斯博士見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBxVHBb0CS
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4llUbtFaM
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlii0QrfxB
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeA2NiPwMg
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。」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MdEVCznYE
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK3thFa5eg
他沒奈何，但只得接受。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuD1Rixs9I
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjkW63FmKj
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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWVpxsH7w7

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！855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyXbRuwANO
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC7sUVqr6u
領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUOU6FwneL
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUp9g45xex
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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5451Ac8O1
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn9dxtB28G
城中大鐘不合時宜地響起十二下鐘聲。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOx278Ja8k
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KV2wV6x08
「聖誕快樂！」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJA3O9N3C

「新年快樂！」855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3ypA8dvV

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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTXL5mec4

未來？那小女孩已沒有未來——她剛凍死街頭。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8S615gyZp
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWLhRNqYRK
倏忽飄雪漫天。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcfrDU47ne
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx795rTnVh
寒氣徹骨。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDE1cXMgIz
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDbws6V6F
回家吧。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5V9FGNcmk
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlUbZ5qr36
走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0feZBOoKTL
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNuYTq9g9h
門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoYH15McIW
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ka5P7OazL
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。855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwn69vfJFK
