「咦?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAgtg8Go8t92
438Please respect copyright.PENANArahPJRyBjQ
我看看手錶,時分秒針全部停在凌晨二時廿三分三十五秒,離我上次看手機後體感時間明明已過去了半小時左右,時間卻凝滯不動!438Please respect copyright.PENANAMFMMOwjztj
438Please respect copyright.PENANAupM6SlniOw
難道說手錶沒電的同時,手機也因為未知的Bug而畫面凍結嗎?這樣巧合?438Please respect copyright.PENANAjlh7xWBv5b
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUsU620ypzl
我迷路了——我突然意識到這件事。438Please respect copyright.PENANAGUFLzABUZW
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUakIvvTedO
全身毛骨悚然的我額上滿是細汗,我不知所措地東張西望確認方向,但自己明明走在正確的路上,沒可能……438Please respect copyright.PENANA8anzQrFWy5
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxSdIC50b3s
「溫年柏。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAW3o6FmDym9
438Please respect copyright.PENANAz16z2CVe51
遠方傳來似有還無的低語,我連忙把視線從手機屏幕移開,只見一條米色毛茸茸的尾巴消失在路邊的深紅色鳥居之後。438Please respect copyright.PENANAMNoskFfpvy
438Please respect copyright.PENANAh4r3jaQc1E
「……貓?」438Please respect copyright.PENANASKCnGpec7X
438Please respect copyright.PENANAnE0v6Dpgc1
我走前幾步穿過鳥居,只見小徑中央一隻貓兒正蹲在那兒,黑暗中用炯炯有神的雙瞳凝視著我。438Please respect copyright.PENANAQz6Jhrl2QK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeQiyNs9XXC
「喵~」438Please respect copyright.PENANAsyctlfEyk9
438Please respect copyright.PENANAlV0NcUnAVx
「頭先,你叫我?」我竟然向貓兒發問,我終於發瘋了嗎?438Please respect copyright.PENANAVywStbXsAq
438Please respect copyright.PENANAziskBVKcTD
貓兒沒有回應,卻是回首悠閒地地搖著尾巴步向小徑的深處。牠米色的尾巴如在向我揮手,那隻貓兒頸上繫著一個由透明玻璃所製,風鈴形的鈴鐺,隨著牠走動的每一步發出清脆的風鈴聲。438Please respect copyright.PENANAiqXBze4s0a
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyQIYPngrXK
「叮…叮…」438Please respect copyright.PENANAVGYsNNG0zU
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVBuWRFwf1j
只是在半夜的路邊,這樣特別詭異。438Please respect copyright.PENANARAumsDdfae
438Please respect copyright.PENANArNf7RBX9Ro
要……要跟上去嗎?我吞吞口水看著貓兒,又看看山下本應存在於那兒的欣澳站。遠處東涌的方向也是烏燈黑火,不見城市的燈光。438Please respect copyright.PENANAmJOKZQEi2N
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8e9qQVgaa
只能追上去了吧。438Please respect copyright.PENANA5k65TEGrGf
438Please respect copyright.PENANAwd5u7rlcVN
我追著這貓兒偏離了公路,身後只有密林和樹影。438Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZUXL41gJv
438Please respect copyright.PENANATFp9KqgMAl
「喵~」438Please respect copyright.PENANA9cLIuxYNNn
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7jwOhBJ67
「叮…叮…」438Please respect copyright.PENANAyEbvdnVnIK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAH6axYVMOPQ
貓兒走遠幾步後停下,然後坐到地上用後腿搔著自己耳背,圓滾滾的貓瞳正看著我,簡直就如等我追上一樣。438Please respect copyright.PENANA5ESInGHZBR
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVAOsDFuw8O
「你想帶我去邊度?」438Please respect copyright.PENANALZRBXv3JoF
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIY8K8TJ9NT
我走近幾步打算順便摸牠幾下,牠卻馬上站起來繼續往前走。438Please respect copyright.PENANAjoZDXG0NGh
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3uEfNbkjfb
我追牠逃,我停牠等,貓兒就是不讓我摸到牠,也吸引著我不斷追著牠跑。438Please respect copyright.PENANAAqUDtOrsCw
438Please respect copyright.PENANAt1n5hR5eK0
伴著貓叫聲與風鈴清脆的叮鐺聲,我都不知道自己身在何方,走到多深的樹林了。438Please respect copyright.PENANAT3dVJkpNon
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkZx8HBEycE
但小徑始終在,路邊還有石燈籠,昏暗的燈光與腳下的小路始終通向更深處。438Please respect copyright.PENANA2WXv4BtLat
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJg1F54XWOb
一路走著走著,貓兒帶領著我穿過這片公路旁的密林,不知過了多久後我看到前方的樹林變得稀疏,小徑穿過樹蔭而出,我竟然看到了日……日落?438Please respect copyright.PENANALDsEHsTXUZ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAgHPbhOBxSS
怎可能是日落?我到底走了多久?我下意識地看看手錶,卻看到時間依然鎖定在02:23AM。438Please respect copyright.PENANAQYqqsKSdWZ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Xeu3KS8X
果然是手錶沒電的同時,手機因為不知甚麼原因凍結了吧——我打算這樣解釋眼前一切,卻解釋為何突然日落,還是說這是日出?438Please respect copyright.PENANAUk9Mm5hhrd
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6DXUJDajgc
而且這兒是哪?438Please respect copyright.PENANA2tDNkHAlo1
438Please respect copyright.PENANAq0NeDE1Pd5
樹林外頭是廣闊的田野,日落的餘輝在地平線閃耀,定眼一看從樹林伸出的小徑化成田野之間的阡陌,水道中清晰透明的溪水在阡陌左右細流,黃金的稻米漫山遍野…438Please respect copyright.PENANALHq2BqWIOF
438Please respect copyright.PENANAN3VsihqVxA
東涌附近有這樣的稻米田嗎?不可能。438Please respect copyright.PENANA06b1QhQ14u
438Please respect copyright.PENANAuaPD11Wfwm
「喵~」438Please respect copyright.PENANAwLkpKNvrH8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYWL9QDQBiW
「叮……叮……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAc9opu0aRnS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUrho9dGd4G
風鈴聲提醒我那隻米色的貓兒還在,牠頸上的小風鈴在開揚的稻田旁被勁風吹得特別起勁。438Please respect copyright.PENANAPb1iZUkNet
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJc6DSJLPrU
風鈴聲隨風飄散,伴著於稻米尖端因風吹而壓出的「浪」向遠方掠去,稻粒被風壓下又抬頭,形成一輪又一輪的波浪,捲向遠處的稻田邊緣。438Please respect copyright.PENANAlnIAxkC9tX
438Please respect copyright.PENANATue5KjmWkq
那兒,有一座建築物在。438Please respect copyright.PENANAfDXXAMoTnc
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5jdvQ0tLWx
「個度係……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAOBFAIque4j
438Please respect copyright.PENANAFAQ0v7L8P5
才看一眼我就知道那不是香港的建築物了。438Please respect copyright.PENANAWHhpUia6lv
438Please respect copyright.PENANAEAcYw9mQzr
438Please respect copyright.PENANAENc8P6P6QE
438Please respect copyright.PENANAISzFysIatc
巨大的深紅色建築由木與瓦構成,七層的巨大木塔型建築與附近矮細的現代混凝土大廈形成強烈的對比。角落的飛簷與瓦頂的木欄柵之間有暖色燈光滲出,似是燭光,又像燈籠,給人一種安心且暖烘烘的感覺。438Please respect copyright.PENANAQV1075Dudg
438Please respect copyright.PENANASEIUo8xah8
木塔前還有零落的幾根麻石柱,上方刻著扭扭曲曲的圖騰。438Please respect copyright.PENANArlQ30MaFzc
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmAQgHsrUjv
日式?還是中式建築?無論是哪邊都不可能是香港的建築。438Please respect copyright.PENANAAQq5KVqBel
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhkSP6fHEGz
以木塔為中心,附近有著零星幾座混凝土建築物,構造介於舊式商場和屋村校舍之間,但共通點是沒人。438Please respect copyright.PENANASjWfyS6dep
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoSuqe9zd3h
放眼望去,空無一人。438Please respect copyright.PENANAjwSCqxUrtV
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoTn346rhr6
「呢度邊度嚟……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAZkRURcIJrS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAepaXJxViRZ
我穿過黃金稻田之間的小徑,日落的餘輝使其尖端閃閃生輝,橙紅的天空與那座建築物相當合襯。438Please respect copyright.PENANA5s5QGzDc6B
438Please respect copyright.PENANAz0jV7aYmEn
「喵~」438Please respect copyright.PENANA2H16MPnLsa
438Please respect copyright.PENANAs35EnQTdn5
貓兒一如以往地在前方領著我走,似乎對這兒很熟路。緩緩穿過田野間的阡陌後,我終於來到了那座建築物下方的石磚路。438Please respect copyright.PENANA01nMTLD0Ki
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYRQur6WAFe
沿途上我看不到半個人影,建築物之間有樹木穿插而過,只有以鐵鏈懸掛的招牌隨著擺動發出「嘎——」的聲音,格外蒼涼,格外寂寥。438Please respect copyright.PENANA5obEb6tTKp
438Please respect copyright.PENANAfSwaPWbbIg
「行呢邊?」438Please respect copyright.PENANA6WrjfhSSUW
438Please respect copyright.PENANAR9chDidnVk
石磚路的盡頭是一個小池塘,破碎的邊緣下是平靜的水面,木塔建築物的柔和暖光亦倒映在其中,加上灑落的夕陽染紅著這廢村的建築,風兒也如被染上寂寞似的。438Please respect copyright.PENANAUr4YPCUWq1
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeWbw1yjajG
貓兒領著我繞過小池塘,從一些建築物旁而過後再經過一道池塘上的小木橋,我便來到了木塔建築的入口。438Please respect copyright.PENANAhjS8QP8d9m
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIxc2ASAdFU
「……阡迴旅館。」我唸出木塔建築底層中央入口左方的木製招牌,似乎就是這建築物的名字。438Please respect copyright.PENANAlyV7bFB1xy
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5OD7bAtGGw
阡迴旅館從底部仰視更顯高聳入雲,很難想像是木建築,更難以想像這是在香港境內。438Please respect copyright.PENANAqLDD6h38gl
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZr2mPQSTIB
當我望回入口時卻發現那隻貓兒已不知所蹤,只剩下我呆然地站在入口前。438Please respect copyright.PENANATSrn29fsun
438Please respect copyright.PENANAwMcv6ZZLP6
既然有燈,就自然代表有人在這兒對吧。438Please respect copyright.PENANAiHFs10AQx3
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhssuZR93WJ
入口的木牌說這兒叫阡迴旅館,就暫時這樣稱呼。438Please respect copyright.PENANAKOAYrZWx0p
438Please respect copyright.PENANARRCrzdLOok
站在阡迴旅館前方的我再次掏出手機確認自己所在之處,時間依然卡在02:23AM,至於地圖亦沒法接收GPS信號而沒法使用,手機亦收不到信號。438Please respect copyright.PENANAB4PF5qHrSp
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkSmv8lc15U
放眼四周,也看不到路牌,招牌之類的地標。438Please respect copyright.PENANAsjdNcKwVjS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAD2UyACL1MU
只能問路嗎?上面的字是正體中文,所以至少不是異世界之類?438Please respect copyright.PENANAqw4fVwBzMR
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQEHDWp2Dkh
門就在那兒。438Please respect copyright.PENANAI2UwpdYByQ
438Please respect copyright.PENANADuNtGCjprM
別無他法的我登上阡迴旅館前的幾步階梯,古色古香的深木色大門就在我面前,銅片包邊的木門令人覺得這是座古老的建築。438Please respect copyright.PENANAS2cFTmFKI8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeT18zlQMec
「嘎——」438Please respect copyright.PENANA6K94aB1Vyl
438Please respect copyright.PENANARvnUYdk5mB
沒有想像中沉重的木門被我拉開,內部的暖色燈光從縫隙間滲出,眼前出現的正是阡迴旅館的大堂。438Please respect copyright.PENANA9XncTfzH3f
438Please respect copyright.PENANAqUqBYBcBs4
說是旅館,眼前卻是一個氣派非凡的前台和大堂,與那些五星級酒店相比下毫不遜色。同樣是深木色風格,地板卻是白色的地磚,倒映著建築物巨大的中庭。438Please respect copyright.PENANAhZKkE27QS8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAexX1ylaxK4
阡迴旅館的室內中央是巨大的空洞,使人想起井型公屋中央的巨大天井,但更可怕的是這高度!這寬度!有可能嗎?!438Please respect copyright.PENANA2jh0oqD8iD
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0qXeekU8fd
「嘩…嘩!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAscpG3bfDQy
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmi5nXsfm14
目瞪口呆的我連忙回身跑到外頭察看阡迴旅館,又奔回前台抬頭仰望眼前的巨大天井,這是甚…這是甚麼空間異象?!這怎麼可能?!438Please respect copyright.PENANAYsXpBmDLz8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAye9y27ImRR
「乜…乜料…」438Please respect copyright.PENANAmicePcBJ9a
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6BTgAPv57q
巨大的天井無限地往上延伸,淡黃色燈光把一層又一層的木製懸廊和門戶映亮,我明明站在地面,卻感到一陣眩目,雙腳不自禁地往後退了兩步,如要被天井吸上去一樣!438Please respect copyright.PENANAC37yhPNwz1
438Please respect copyright.PENANACObsGSxyp6
「嗚隆……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAKuAqHajnSJ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzf5d9kETxR
天井之間有不知名聲音在迴盪,仔細一聽竟然是我自己的說話在天井間的回音!在天井的最高處只有更高的天井存在,直到視野盡頭的消失點,不知從哪而來的亮光把天井的每個角落恰到好處地照亮。438Please respect copyright.PENANAzmcQaimvRl
438Please respect copyright.PENANAN4W7oGytxb
「叮叮……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAuO7LAD6eCu
438Please respect copyright.PENANA7gYTOXY6ro
風鈴聲?是那隻貓!438Please respect copyright.PENANA0Owms6shZk
438Please respect copyright.PENANA81E2OfkGpp
我把視野從天井收回,望向風鈴聲的來源,卻是一名少女。438Please respect copyright.PENANA9kTkQDIEwQ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYbFd0XcPna
「哎呀,係意料之外嘅客人。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAEexvZHh6QW
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OwjDMO89
少女的聲音亦如風鈴一樣清脆悅耳。438Please respect copyright.PENANAW2cHnmj26H
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkfs2zpeGVX
「你…呢度……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAmvWkH5Yuia
438Please respect copyright.PENANAcqGZXWOsju
我望向少女,再望向頭上,剛剛的天井卻已經消失不見,取而代化的是普通的天井,就只有七層,大小亦附合阡迴旅館的外觀。438Please respect copyright.PENANAxv2PeM75t2
438Please respect copyright.PENANALO0xdfMlxw
「唔使擔心,你好安全。」少女一邊說著一邊走向前台,「歡迎你嚟到阡迴旅館。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAKldxap7V7J
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4hD3FvV2nP
這時我才仔細打量眼前的少女,沒有瀏海的她披著及腰長髮,耳邊的髮飾是一個精緻的迷你風鈴,正隨著她走動發出悅耳的鳴聲。438Please respect copyright.PENANAfR4MXPS46p
438Please respect copyright.PENANAxLuJ016kbu
少女身上的洋服令人想起女僕裝,但卻沒有過多的蕾絲邊和花紋,簡潔大方的寶藍色連身短裙,雙腳是過膝絲襪和綁帶高根鞋。438Please respect copyright.PENANAwnzRfsgktF
438Please respect copyright.PENANAL9739vSA3B
「……咳。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAzQfW148U9S
438Please respect copyright.PENANA0knIxKiAZo
她以輕咳打斷我的掃視,意識到自己失態的我馬上把目光投回她雙眼:「唔好意思,呢度……係邊度?」438Please respect copyright.PENANA8OBnkP7Or8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUYQltLSdFo
「我頭先先講完:歡迎你嚟到阡迴旅館。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAirNkYfNtth
438Please respect copyright.PENANAsPHEvlewGK
「我,我知。我嘅意思係阡迴旅館係喺邊度?我其實係蕩失咗路,但呢附近我根本唔知道係邊……」438Please respect copyright.PENANApK5o8mb2pB
438Please respect copyright.PENANApungUdfUKq
「嗯,明白你心情。」少女說,「我會同你慢慢解釋,唔使擔心,但係……可唔可以話我知你叫咩名?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAjHMn2A2L0f
438Please respect copyright.PENANA4NqD2991uO
「溫年柏。新年個年,木字邊個柏。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAA9qGXonUhL
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzLokb8D9up
「溫年柏……你係由邊度而嚟?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAocyf9R91gt
438Please respect copyright.PENANAnYDioCQIx8
「邊度……迪,迪士尼站啊。」438Please respect copyright.PENANACXB5vR1iM4
438Please respect copyright.PENANAUSikBmoaiV
「溫年柏……溫年柏……」438Please respect copyright.PENANA5tueVNteZC
438Please respect copyright.PENANAjwI74DABFe
少女的指尖在一本泛黃的書本上掃過一個又一個名字,我注意到她的食指上戴了一個指環,指環與其長手套與衣袖是相連,使其手臂顯得格外修長。438Please respect copyright.PENANANVPJt0WeRK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMq93yCz1pr
「溫…溫…溫年柏?」少女皺眉道,「你肯定你叫呢個名?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAq4RZ36SD2o
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzdx3WuKdPb
我不禁啞然失笑:「我用咗呢個名都廿四年,都幾肯定。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAjvtuwpLNh8
438Please respect copyright.PENANArkBgG4yVdh
「嗯……」她似乎再從頭找起。438Please respect copyright.PENANAGofBRpRIkH
438Please respect copyright.PENANAOuz9yu5ekS
「話說,我個名唔係你本簿度好正常啊。」438Please respect copyright.PENANANypCbeAb03
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2AkwCTd8qs
「點解?」少女的指尖停在「陳立正」一行旁抬頭望我。438Please respect copyright.PENANAQX9pmTIaCK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMYlRJwUhwa
「我無訂過咩旅館,我個名又點會係上面?你就唔使晒時間再搵喇。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAAvp5C7QcEP
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2wfWqAZk57
少女先是一楞,然後道:「的確,但阡迴旅館唔係普通嘅旅館,只有係呢本登記簿上面有名嘅人先會嚟得到呢度。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAWEoKFIBeyj
438Please respect copyright.PENANAXlldLSHPX3
「下?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAwF32VRjFXq
438Please respect copyright.PENANA84KrUiRlow
「所以你既然出現得喺呢度,你個名就應該會喺上面至岩……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAYGQaeZBMQq
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoU7IMOSw1E
突然我有個感覺:她不會是瘋子吧?438Please respect copyright.PENANAiOvJDCZnBu
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeupMmUq5DG
雖然是個很漂亮的美少女,但她竟然會一本正經地說出名字出現在簿中的人才能來得到這兒——這種瘋話,再駁斥她她可能就會掏出刀子砍人了。438Please respect copyright.PENANAWoObjZWPmh
438Please respect copyright.PENANALriDWIPVzG
「咁,咁你慢慢搵,唔使急啊。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAWHg4CqEOkZ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAzHBI4O1DPM
此地不宜久留!
乘她正低頭注意掃視眼皮下的舊書,我攝手攝腳地往後退。大門雖不近但亦不遠,以我男生的體力優勢,就算她發瘋我也有信心能率先奪門而出……438Please respect copyright.PENANAf247rDvZSX
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2DOKHdee5
「喵~」438Please respect copyright.PENANAQqe8XUcFDr
438Please respect copyright.PENANAiOOsfL8FfI
「叮叮~」438Please respect copyright.PENANAuWMXGnsXOJ
438Please respect copyright.PENANABWcWa9HuXz
一個毛球突然從我腳邊竄過,伴著風鈴聲,我低頭一看正是剛剛的貓兒。438Please respect copyright.PENANAGgEzDVLkkT
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJPsxYWjq57
「渺渺?」少女抬頭叫喚,原來這貓叫渺渺。438Please respect copyright.PENANAxBN58XZbEn
438Please respect copyright.PENANAI8jFC54YvU
「叮~」438Please respect copyright.PENANA8dgoQs7PQv
438Please respect copyright.PENANADcrVriiXsO
渺渺一邊搖著尾巴,一邊在我雙腳之間鑽來鑽去,不知是在撒嬌還是阻止我逃跑!438Please respect copyright.PENANAId0HokZFJ7
438Please respect copyright.PENANA05kAL58aEB
「少有喎,渺渺竟然嗲你……嗯,但真係無你名。」少女蓋上簿本說,「咁就頭痛。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAvjt7eQo957
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6ePP2norF
「都話左,我無Book過咩旅館,我個名唔係上面係好正常。」我恃著已拉遠了些許距離再次駁斥,「到底呢度係邊?我想去東涌站坐頭班車返屋企。」438Please respect copyright.PENANADxpFWBUGcg
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYhznVRo4bg
「我由頭解釋一次你聽,首先……」438Please respect copyright.PENANA70ZEShV0P6
438Please respect copyright.PENANAO4l9sVqcdW
「首先,你叫咩名?」我打斷她。438Please respect copyright.PENANAl2OdmqjJu7
438Please respect copyright.PENANAsgy8f0KqdI
少女輕撥深啡色秀髮,「我叫夏鈴兒,係呢間阡迴旅館唯一嘅員工。」438Please respect copyright.PENANACtjH47h2xH
438Please respect copyright.PENANAadIXNxyqUA
「夏鈴兒……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAfDgUdOcAwD
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5R3BvhexNs
名字也很好聽,我想起了盛夏的屋簷下,風鈴迎風輕搖奏鳴的畫面。438Please respect copyright.PENANAPokvhM6ovv
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYgrN3q5ssl
「嗯,呢度係阡迴旅館,係所有迷途者都會到達嘅地方。」她說,「你頭先話你自己蕩失路係唔係?所以你到達呢度係好正常。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAa7wRq0Ih1x
438Please respect copyright.PENANAVeY6SdfGkl
迷路嗎?其實不然。438Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDFNcN4Dt
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6cUrC0K4KT
我走在馬路旁邊,路牌,信號,行人道一應俱全,照道理來說我是不會迷路,亦沒有迷路,只是追著渺渺離開了大路鑽入密林之中。438Please respect copyright.PENANA6JFeCvCT61
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYszHuNL05n
然後來到了這兒。438Please respect copyright.PENANAa4uB3DURGS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYE3zXMW6jo
「咁古今中外咁多人蕩失路,呢度咪好熱鬧?」438Please respect copyright.PENANA7rcdQxL7WE
438Please respect copyright.PENANAOgYCUq7jpc
「呢度講嘅迷途,唔係指物理層面上嘅迷途,所以你想像中嘅各種失蹤者,佢地並唔係度。」夏鈴兒說,「而呢度嘅人最終都會離開,返去佢地應該返去嘅地方,所以放心。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAkWO50JEOFM
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhK1FuNA6cd
「離開……」438Please respect copyright.PENANA16pu1kIrwO
438Please respect copyright.PENANAAJYhylK9vZ
「嗯,但簿上面無你個名,我都係第一次見咁嘅情況。」438Please respect copyright.PENANANQcX1vAxkv
438Please respect copyright.PENANA9NNgXrSj9i
「即係我有可能返唔到出去?!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAr7hORwwKWh
438Please respect copyright.PENANAI9rhLLLxsN
「我無咁講過,冷靜啲。」夏鈴兒說,「放心,呢度始終都係旅館,會有房俾你休息,有食物有野飲,我地仲有溫泉喔,唔使怕。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAUUIjXVQpgl
438Please respect copyright.PENANACF5nK7eWuy
「唔係啊,唔係啊!如果我家姐瞓醒見我仲未返屋企,佢可能會報警……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJdCpoehg
438Please respect copyright.PENANA32t6IVRoKj
「啊,關於呢個問題。」夏鈴兒凝重地看著我,「你完全唔需要擔心。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAJjdPXaWQvK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyqX3VwjzGw
「點唔擔心?!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAn7vqBa5E2F
438Please respect copyright.PENANAi7MgreHbtB
「我就問,你肚唔肚餓?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAXhJJpAQl2g
438Please respect copyright.PENANALoZTiuxgka
「突然之間問嚟做咩,唔肚餓啊!」438Please respect copyright.PENANA2OtkRMxUKV
438Please respect copyright.PENANAaPkECCdNoV
「但你上次食飯係幾耐之前?」夏鈴兒問。438Please respect copyright.PENANAKHB17ylPoj
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZmSYLUNefO
「呃……」一時間我都說不出,畢竟我在下班前幾分鐘才被告知被炒,接著就是亂成一團的人事程序,收拾東西之類,我記得我應該是下午時吃過點餅乾零食之類?438Please respect copyright.PENANA0TtI8j1PGx
438Please respect copyright.PENANAHU2HpGhgeT
「都隔咗咁耐,理應肚餓係唔係?但你有無發現自己完全唔肚餓?亦唔攰?記憶係唔係完全無隨時間過去而變淡?」438Please respect copyright.PENANA53TBZgKqzs
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJkm5TuMo70
的確。438Please respect copyright.PENANAKc1LyYzIhQ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhFeKTzvvmX
被她這樣一說,的確如此。438Please respect copyright.PENANAO9zlnRfoBl
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkj6XLGnyOl
我不餓,也不累,而且只要閉上眼,剛才鑽過樹林的記憶就清晰無比如同再次上演一樣,沒有正常地隨時間而變淡……438Please respect copyright.PENANAnF5DJAisX9
438Please respect copyright.PENANAtDK3IRqxWc
時間?438Please respect copyright.PENANAM1fDXd5GYR
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKQC3GVAh3J
想到這兒,我再次查看手機和手錶的時間,二者依然卡在02:23AM.438Please respect copyright.PENANArNmt0J0GUB
438Please respect copyright.PENANABstso2y7QU
「阡迴旅館呢度嘅時空,係獨立於常世嘅時間線同空間結構,係遺世獨立嘅異世。」夏鈴兒說。438Please respect copyright.PENANAQm7wKkmTNj
438Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Hhbxt3bf
異世空間:阡迴旅館。438Please respect copyright.PENANAnIu6aBJOTa
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1WVGXdWOc
本來我想反駁甚麼,但眼前的02:23AM字樣證實著她所言非虛。438Please respect copyright.PENANAe3kl8xi9CG
438Please respect copyright.PENANA38ruwhj7x8
時間……空間……獨立於常世的時間線同空間結構?438Please respect copyright.PENANA6ilYyIaB74
438Please respect copyright.PENANAH1JSrDr7ki
「無可能,都唔知你鳩噏啲咩!你好簡單,我頭先入呢道門,就係過去;依家入咗嚟喺度同你講嘢,就係現在。依加三秒後嘅未來我會抱起渺渺,三,二,一!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAWJoams4u4f
438Please respect copyright.PENANAjGJjTt1G6J
我抱起腳邊的渺渺。438Please respect copyright.PENANAUaE1H29Vpt
438Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sr8guLTr5
「你睇!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAXqsVTsUNZK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAh6VjSuyxj3
「喵嗚?!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAgRzxmMTgXU
438Please respect copyright.PENANALdAGGBXGEx
渺渺輕輕扭動掙扎,我放開牠讓她溜回地上,有點生氣的牠用圓滾滾的肉球輕拍我的小腿以示抗議。438Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Es86YAq8
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKHhjMD212T
「點會無時間存在?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAGilvJ7nDN6
438Please respect copyright.PENANA2jPQ0WysOY
「嘖,我幾時有講過阡迴旅館之中無時間?我係話呢度嘅時間線,係獨立於常世之外。」夏鈴兒說。438Please respect copyright.PENANAKn1betIYdO
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeINrfUk4E9
「我唔明……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAhaK99gBJHZ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIsuQ8K1GdD
「你到咗咁耐後有咩係明?」夏鈴兒無奈地說,「做人謙虛啲,唔好下下就反射動作咁反駁,聽我解釋先,定你做開反駁隊?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAehV0KKNldL
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGtyrzJUaRi
這女生說話還挺串嘴嘛!一時之間我竟然還真的被她攻擊得無言以對,但畢竟在我眼前盡是前所未見的異象,錯不在我。438Please respect copyright.PENANAC1J84PwYMJ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lmXVoLxL
先是消失的東涌和欣澳,然後是理應不存在的黃金稻田,接著是突然出現又消失的無盡天井,還有甚麼獨立於時間線以外的阡迴旅館?438Please respect copyright.PENANAvfTj3g30Yh
438Please respect copyright.PENANAJqtyP3KvSG
「雖然我唔知點解簿上面無你名,但我可以俾第一個建議你:放下本身固有嘅概念同成見,接受框架以外嘅事物。」夏鈴兒說。438Please respect copyright.PENANAbtf5yk2IFs
438Please respect copyright.PENANAQCbG9X4nvO
「好,好啦……咁到底係咩一回事?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAaBFv6eoyAC
438Please respect copyright.PENANAKJC0jNllKS
夏鈴兒瞪我一會兒,似乎真的相信我是由衷地提問,才道——438Please respect copyright.PENANAYhKhtAYYOK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAXTgYMpfjLt
「阡迴旅館,嚟到呢度嘅人一係失去返去嘅動機,或者地方,或者方法。方法唔成問題,因為阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯,可以通向所有地方。呢個地方存在就係為嚟到呢度嘅人提供休息,令佢地可以療癒自己,直到佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方為止。」438Please respect copyright.PENANApp8zkwstvx
438Please respect copyright.PENANALw5MDFQzBQ
「走失兒童服務中心?」樂園之中也有這種設施。438Please respect copyright.PENANAGFf5vYrldx
438Please respect copyright.PENANAazZHZxKBSl
「係呢個世界會走失嘅唔只得兒童。」夏鈴兒說。438Please respect copyright.PENANAdEhFSSodad
438Please respect copyright.PENANAldeiGD2QMa
「咁嚟到呢度嘅人,你頭先話只要有…返去嘅方法,同埋乜話?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAL84CcCMg9u
438Please respect copyright.PENANA1odqlBY8dd
「返去嘅方法,動機,地方,缺一不可。你想返去嘅話,你諗下你欠啲咩?」438Please respect copyright.PENANA4slmD3BvzB
438Please respect copyright.PENANAn68OuCbF0E
我馬上反駁:「我無野欠,我可以行返去,我好想返去,我想返屋企。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAtO71sWFZnQ
438Please respect copyright.PENANA86QNuMRhiU
「……咁你自己去試下喇,門口係個邊。」沒好氣的夏鈴兒指著我身後的大門,「只要你可以返去,一直行就會自然返到去常世。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAVhUGGkqHCH
438Please respect copyright.PENANAYkHQNHM05g
和她相處實在算不上愉快,即使她長得秀麗,聲音清脆好風鈴,但話不投機半句多。438Please respect copyright.PENANAXqdCthlz6b
438Please respect copyright.PENANAGLGQOvwfFN
「咁我返去搵路返屋企先,拜拜。」438Please respect copyright.PENANAoE6v2Qy6SG
438Please respect copyright.PENANASKT0XC7klY
「等陣見。」夏鈴兒嘴角卻揚起笑意。438Please respect copyright.PENANApUHusgQvg0
438Please respect copyright.PENANAIggFgzCwDg
別小看我了!438Please respect copyright.PENANAVRIq89Jqdu
438Please respect copyright.PENANAuK8aEDxtjq
我轉身拉門而出,看到眼前風景的瞬間卻站住了腳步。438Please respect copyright.PENANAHIlwjedEe6
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWNQqKbhR2n
剛剛的稻田不見了。438Please respect copyright.PENANAMO8X4dpVLD
438Please respect copyright.PENANAK62Q9yU1RX
無人的鬼城依然在,但是在街道盡頭剛剛還在那兒的稻田和阡陌小徑早已經消失無蹤。一條不知為何出現的大河橫躺在廢棄小鎮的邊緣,道路到達河邊就化成了一座石橋,橋身有點破落,青苔斑駁但似乎安全。438Please respect copyright.PENANA2zgJ9afiPL
438Please respect copyright.PENANAF20UKCN6X9
「啱先啲田……」438Please respect copyright.PENANAvekDVYKbdd
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPwO3j3UZNl
阡迴旅館這兒的時空,是獨立於常世的時間線和空間結構——夏鈴兒的警告言猶在耳。438Please respect copyright.PENANAOYrXORxWNE
438Please respect copyright.PENANAhbGYOWUpTC
但剛剛已經這樣反駁她,現在回頭打退堂鼓也太過窩囊!我狠下決心步出阡迴旅館的大堂,然後往外頭的街道走去。但不只剛剛的稻田消失,外頭的街道也存在著異樣,第一眼看起來沒甚麼兩樣,但是仔細看的話——438Please respect copyright.PENANAquSLyaJI5q
438Please respect copyright.PENANAjM5RqOYbOf
石磚的排列方式不同了。438Please respect copyright.PENANAs8cd4zPAMV
438Please respect copyright.PENANA49OjliiSWw
街燈的款式不同了。438Please respect copyright.PENANANpy2ezJ4kS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAWoumkHDi5D
建築物窗戶的細節不同了。438Please respect copyright.PENANADAIbrINAYT
438Please respect copyright.PENANA37yy2QFFXA
仔細看下去,這兒的街道已經和我剛剛進入阡迴旅館時不同,只是建築風格相同,整體與剛剛相似的街道而已!438Please respect copyright.PENANAjPTWHKkfjS
438Please respect copyright.PENANAy2HudPTs99
但是現在已沒法回頭,所以我還是硬著頭皮從街道穿過來到了那道橋前。438Please respect copyright.PENANActCBASuB16
438Please respect copyright.PENANAmGYPrYaxR1
橋沒有名字,就算街道上沒有任何文字般,在橋的對面則是零落的山丘和亂石。渡過石橋後,我特意在路邊蹲下檢查,完全沒有一絲稻田曾存在的痕跡,路邊就只有碎石和道路以外的沙礫雜草。438Please respect copyright.PENANAoqar6O9Ktf
438Please respect copyright.PENANAFRxuT1gijd
真是活見鬼,這真是活見鬼,出去後去廟拜神之類吧。438Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ7rppbc1p
438Please respect copyright.PENANA6uCVy9dzu5
回首看身後,阡迴旅館已經漸漸消失在街道的陰影後,雖然我也不知道接下來怎麼辦,去哪兒,但至少我正在遠離那個鬼地方。438Please respect copyright.PENANA9VIKnj4WzE
438Please respect copyright.PENANABSuz1BnM9Z
只要背對阡迴旅館一直向前走,自然就會離開那個詭異的地方!438Please respect copyright.PENANARAY5sYdnWB
438Please respect copyright.PENANAuYBamYvzVH
走著走著,海浪聲隨風飄至;走著走著,遠方出現巨大摩天大樓的輪廓。438Please respect copyright.PENANAjf08DqjkrK
438Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Jr5xmoZS
海邊直路盡頭,不就東涌的屋苑嗎?438Please respect copyright.PENANAqMIWyCkZOB
438Please respect copyright.PENANA5GtneY8T5p
「哈…」438Please respect copyright.PENANAtqN7c0DDMf
438Please respect copyright.PENANALeIE52A1fW
終,終於到了!438Please respect copyright.PENANAqktQoFa4N2
438Please respect copyright.PENANACQtDr07H9Q
「哈哈,哈哈哈哈!!」438Please respect copyright.PENANADVjnUqILo2
438Please respect copyright.PENANA8iZLaSgxo2
邁著愉快的腳步,我沿著海邊的直路走向東涌!雖然路上有點奇遇,但最終我還是成功回到市區,接下來確認時間,看看距離頭班車還有多久……438Please respect copyright.PENANA8izo8dkpHw
438Please respect copyright.PENANAdCQtrKLWhr
02:23AM
438Please respect copyright.PENANAXAlX5yzZMM
438Please respect copyright.PENANAawajuZciQu
「屌啊?!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAfHj91lTk8R
438Please respect copyright.PENANAoEc2YY069i
時間沒有前進。438Please respect copyright.PENANAYwrIfyYSjk
438Please respect copyright.PENANAflbFRiH96u
我望向海平線的盡頭,那個「夕陽」依然掛在空中沒有下沉。從我那時候第一次見到夕陽後,太陽的高度就完全沒有變化,那輪旭日就這樣凝結在雲朵間俯視著我。438Please respect copyright.PENANAR06Zc6QH6J
438Please respect copyright.PENANA3YDa6hG5IR
「無理由,無理由,痴線嘅咩,點可能?!點撚可能?!」438Please respect copyright.PENANAk8cTYkGuPB
438Please respect copyright.PENANAi4DVUXo657
我終於按捺不住心中的燥動,在路上狂吼著,怒嘯著向前狂奔!不知路上摔倒了幾次,我都霍地躍起繼續跑向高聳入雲的都市!這不可能,這不合理,這毫無道理可言!!438Please respect copyright.PENANAmcfFQwb7f8
438Please respect copyright.PENANA1mabZq4ONA
阡 迴 旅 館
438Please respect copyright.PENANAMycPKDMla6
438Please respect copyright.PENANAp94RNvaHNU
大廈的灰暗陰影中,一座格格不入的七層木塔巍然屹立著。438Please respect copyright.PENANAc3acLZoMVi
438Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHI7TJhIV
「嗄…嗄…」438Please respect copyright.PENANAk8dBZeUBoq
438Please respect copyright.PENANAN241LeAme3
我抬頭看著滲著暖光的木塔,不敢相信眼前的異象。438Please respect copyright.PENANAHMYYmHMpxg
438Please respect copyright.PENANAiryTejVIPR
「嘎——」438Please respect copyright.PENANAibetf7cUqW
438Please respect copyright.PENANAuMABxxS0yY
正當我無法以常理判斷眼前局面時,旅館的木門被一個人影打開,正是夏鈴兒。438Please respect copyright.PENANAEhx9MboDfj
438Please respect copyright.PENANAPEefyj0Tvb
「喲,返嚟喇?」438Please respect copyright.PENANAHb7UOzeI5U
438Please respect copyright.PENANAeaJFWPzcV8
穿著現代女僕裝的夏鈴兒輕輕步出,只見她沐於夕陽與旅館滲出的猩紅逆光之中,她右手輕撥耳垂邊的隨風輕擺的秀髮,風鈴髮飾奏鳴。438Please respect copyright.PENANAop29VoYlJy
438Please respect copyright.PENANABa6vKwBsZG
略側身避著勁風的她微微回首向我微笑。438Please respect copyright.PENANAWlhNswM5JM
438Please respect copyright.PENANAZQbTajO1AF
「歡迎返嚟,溫年柏,容我再同你講一次——」438Please respect copyright.PENANAda3scRf4XJ
438Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Ic53tslL
438Please respect copyright.PENANAw3XQU66EoE
438Please respect copyright.PENANAyuhfJ6D5fk
438Please respect copyright.PENANAkQhfsGMbnU
裙擺的邊緣,輕揚的髮絲,和身在逆光中的夏鈴兒,都閃爍著永恆夕陽的金光絢爛。438Please respect copyright.PENANA1xrB7uNdiY
438Please respect copyright.PENANAofb4bbYDq7
「——歡迎嚟到阡迴旅館。」
