他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGHWIF4jjp

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。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmshVT6YUk

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，匆匆前往諾克斯醫生的辦公室。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWHDf55CZX
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DmO4g9Pur
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmxlcvp6QQ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNe73WoK2N
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsI3F9Brnc
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YlMWzWgqa
諾克斯醫生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。」323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjb6mQrye

他沒奈何，但只得接受。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tumaz0VBg
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ2RWJqYMo
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯醫生的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBHeOSV8V

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！323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4jPYtRlbX

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyLVKPCrXu
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagG8zmdNWI
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。323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ERw8VUse
