「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFePFm96Bi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcVYQouOVE
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlIrkDwptB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmQchxd8f
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5TJrNeZ1Z
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhAWOvRV5V
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFM83I4TjJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5yYVi0XcA
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbppZkoAUAw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWfQE1ltQI
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbBTvPsCxR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIySyJw3Qgz
卻使我心頭一震！405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06cGs4O8X
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqblEez4m
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJfNL0JMA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliZ838tXvU
甚麼解鈴之人。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRntbAmNVZJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqlLfPqGtD
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJJSQ0nSVp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCpksbaNZk
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgTnpDvjiX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoRiWdAySK
「我無。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe7v67WyGq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZivJRj1tiY
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2NtGEuhfq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mZQZs6zfi
「鈴兒……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV3gGMtLee
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFqnvJ2RAj
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ68zwaZNUM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC3uojHkWj
「你真係無事？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Rd9msqn3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1v69sl4QH
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrndT8Djhzc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81sMKhEFdn
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnCrSI2aAC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1hIi5TYND
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQu0mShQkA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvcEOzToDS
「明……明白。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v4r4qYN9R
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDp6y4Tjb
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKuApj52NT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJy1RvK5Ap
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERkMpqdnd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFM1LbAqjf
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9XFMPmLTy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAyne0rI2B
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdmXA9l44q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGV2l35vi
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy49I7iCn91
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmWr5V3HWt
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0vImAjc3u
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPgEPp3mkZ
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbf5P72qAP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEHgxYw90g
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nUD9JbaH8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQqTACw3gD
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBAcemSrH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9WOPSWYz9
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXHLUzZtWj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0MhD317i
「好。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBW6sTpn6P
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Tc4etPs8
沙漏中的沙被停下。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQo5MCPnu6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAjGa7djt7
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xWlomScig
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n9WvPS420
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCv8GrjefD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH6ESuYncG
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S9liDhYdD
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniViKjxpJj
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQF94zm17f
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IQ0RR8ATm
「呃……呃……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVmhomQL4L
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIc93CHvE3
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykaOsc3qWv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQDyyB5iU
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTqEHUJI6Y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WfbsbZrfc
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2XDOllePj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJiSv43dQ
「……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzvoOAjsy3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuLyjzwceq
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMw2LmHDnQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI18hKLvRd
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBLHH6plX1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPJbvIKNvg
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpNBqL2srJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5f2ywaSGu
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92TQCGBE9t
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC0XIUS0w0
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOKKOm8n9
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14lxpjvE6z
假如鈴兒是錯的。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3a6ooxVG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDP4LDsKl
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq3898E95e
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiR7aYzNJo
「……你咩意思？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7nKB0cnWp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpwKJzRYMw
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kdarSsNVv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuGMLIvDhc
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWUMBsnlDX
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57K2Mfqgt7
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLHtVkDu8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zaCNyJhiR
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHrCwHzinv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc7krKmpx1
「阡迴之門？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygMrGV99Sc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUiYC42BZ
「跟我嚟。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SqVftPhYf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIb02ntaMv
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezI8LrEdm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqjjetPsjV
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1dHZFGNMj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZH3GQRutC
「叮…叮……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rZ5LfNhRE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuCXyckKRR
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3QqmSuMYJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZpVECjmeM
「就會咁。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWdUhK8de
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZYu3emtnv
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYYmmPQJPH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dlak7FzwT
「係阡迴旅館？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoybgrt2J1W
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGNVwMem6
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKpsmBskM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEujmxhXF
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Q7PChfSN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIEelQwRHN
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOusfXV1gRT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiLnVbuwjs
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET2MjGfftz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMCLg622c
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIdCsnrnVz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zxg8zPAGL
沒有回去常世的未來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytcZ69PlhS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F2kw1tT6Q
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKjQfEQnGs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmsRwRtJf
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25bOVa7EsB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4jDZqKhmJ
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqQPX7FUd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AY5qRL7Ay
可是，卻——405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr3EplhiUr
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtzIBgJ1Ey
「無。」鈴兒說。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMLO3rjSTe
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKz4Ougd2T
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi77e8wUltq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4jKze2gv6
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2psFf5Tl2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QftwiQWFI
「真心咩……」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM3z4p0RLf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbe4MZ13AM
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR2GSyzmsT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkrqNr2BVl
我一時間答不出來。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtM4b2htn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwShJJAak
回家？當然了，我想回家。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E4e5jN5ev
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Qil5Eanr
但之後呢？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbcwPWlkb7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXiQmZVXaT
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAqxfxJYDK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU9f9xKXbJ
我甚麼也不會成為的。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFdDpsothM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28sIOGrzpu
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmEiRbI6Tg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYbfVP1gI
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAezFNYHB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJQA8wlCh
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFD3WhfRMv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutIMToUaVF
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSHvJUUawV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn35b15p2N
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8kVN8vB1
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J1gLP3FfA
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwca6m4qQgD
