588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nZf9IWWI
「人死之後呢，就比較單純……留給後代的東西，能決定他的價值⸺努那受試者跟帝國受試者都是罪人，但是，他們為病毒研究奉獻己身，就能留下價值：給家人金錢、給自己減刑。」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAblYiyekRJ
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSc828b0iD

「那個大叔……剛才有來嗎？」588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2m50H09rI
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡettQKkKso2
兩人瞇起眼睛觀察。那個大叔身穿破舊大衣，雜亂毛髮與骯髒皮膚，像是遠離文明的隱士。當他正想轉身離開時，突然公務人員攔下。588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZxSdXnLi7
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUxtd6lno
