「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlolyztIMNE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCMuxzdHK4
「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？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI9Q6WdVL9
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRBvzJRiqN
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFUhDQT3ye
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBujCEo2gwk
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGasmcCspXt
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsEmU4zamc
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Hw80BpXj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ622eZCt1Mg
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUEgxjAY2
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1gtIqtCTr
卻使我心頭一震！404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ms3Ixscb
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlEQr7Exq
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFSvg7iYGl
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lyB6urz4r
甚麼解鈴之人。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkybuyUSCZA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDXlh6jxc
「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？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LYjU3xOU7
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2fB6LWLq
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxbXhFQiFp
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXEx74Hh3
「我無。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSCaHI3bA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipRUOarb7v
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgImtFQcMo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGemTzjNOT
「鈴兒……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYXHe5MiP2
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYsyHyCXQF
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYsVMO41n1
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lUl88zjbr
「你真係無事？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNGjmZp3eq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJS0bauTnN
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0UaC2oVe5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ6pVli1Et
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksVidOOFUk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4oTdsr3c
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitmFws9tvn
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx9w01L11M
「明……明白。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VwNB6xBlq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDltNNhIz
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！404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELNHIAGVfI
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA5OsvtclU
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JFNb5Yd6
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2u4B25QO9
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68uRG79LAo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vpadowl54
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QnK8pskyl
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ZlAcMqFo
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6bzpc57p0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWSqxmhrT3
「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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQXYAsEtmt
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhivn1b1Ef
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMDLG33dNP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6t1yKZM9
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMor3OJr0Z1
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRtBijIs7E
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjrNA9NWdy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94gtJSCXGa
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nbYmRalb9
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnaGkHIUI5
「好。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JYlvRNYCj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZNb17I6p
沙漏中的沙被停下。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVP5xN5RY
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IGhOeAkQb
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgwJ9cBEat
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hvH43ifk
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73rFyr7DP9
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo1UMX9tSM
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRpepzwMap
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hRop2CUOs
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcH30io5Uk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxb2j3xkvG
「呃……呃……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ilDxwkoq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayTvKqIgG9
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9BGNkvPfS
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMj3B4Mupe
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXTR44jGuV
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFaCHwlodl
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUcZwISEZA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2KGVCAPjf
「……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInxvR4iczK
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarkmpw5O1P
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO3i6G9bDY
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rN5pn46KB
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvolW3Rk2mB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBi9a2Ao0
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhGvTdaqXR
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKel295NPJq
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCoyhX3YwD
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbzrsRUz3Y
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiusW9k31t
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL5wHdTDah
假如鈴兒是錯的。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rlbuPAr7P
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQKugbuIeM
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosLwcE47De
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpP452dfzV
「……你咩意思？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU71nz6htx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQOYkt1Cbx
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？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1lSZBWDM5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCc5TZqahz
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIdPXqdMNZ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfgYtstep2
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypLhlEVel
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PyfrJOBME
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OBRQbYPQ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB3lRfI8r7
「阡迴之門？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklkFp5sJla
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRCa2xxEj2
「跟我嚟。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZZ7WWgrEk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElwa9VIPcz
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4T2qr0ghq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lCsGWJao4
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAh0cWIBPf
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ39UzPMCn
「叮…叮……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz1r9FEgyh
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPi8MD0rS2
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9cL4zXTdS
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCUAq5n2Wk
「就會咁。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpUvn3doR4
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsk5Heeikj
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DkyHbSqJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXfyo5k2qm
「係阡迴旅館？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMN8pnrPm1
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi0zIBf6VA
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v3VsdusMa
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjjoInr94d
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy11VJ0aif
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9hqtRKuQ3
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL5DPDTAif
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZdqYyNxsV
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMNQQ7jKhg
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQON4wCA0Xg
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pELKF63zA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV9K43QMAg
沒有回去常世的未來。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXaHrHXh9o
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxWQodn55V
「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！」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0SNFO6jNa
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25il2UvD9F
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg0kpDHBLA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhUgybCW6
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgQzjTp67y
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9lPqJR7YB
可是，卻——404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyRgT7RSJu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR01te1uV4
「無。」鈴兒說。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9l02vK6zX
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6bOVyFjal
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebHfegri6h
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTWAKRVuUz
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yINiqZq5h
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMK3iGpexb
「真心咩……」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOhj8pgjq2
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe79gLACu0a
「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？」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeKbOmWuJq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ9vpfBwBn
我一時間答不出來。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh50Uyey3z
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpACjQqS0u
回家？當然了，我想回家。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQ7bquC3u
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTGfFgTpn
但之後呢？404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wlopQpvsE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHxJdVYtb5
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？404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1CbMQv0VC
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ926lSJYc5x
我甚麼也不會成為的。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoixpmINHV
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JrmHryyph
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？404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1gHA98FSo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5YhbzXFSu
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJfJwVEof
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ADERGBxGZ
「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。」404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J5daJikIE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8KKWPpo7q
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBFStT13lX
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79oiSvFYGz
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNKWHfOCju
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC81od6IyC
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。404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFgFgeCgd1
