愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoOTl8vALT
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFoO4ZOLP
但準確來說，是前攝影師。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5BLo42YTu
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgIn07a7ci
「全職做攝影師而養得活自己嘅人唔多……好可惜，愛莉唔係其中之一。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8h3EU4MMQ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmotYCWrm
鈴兒帶我來到了天井下的接待處，從抽屜中拿出一張相片，上面都是鈴兒和大家在阡迴旅館中的日常照。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8UGt4CVLf
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWA64sosD
雖然不是甚麼美輪美奐的服飾背景，但從構圖，光影，看得出愛莉精準地捕捉了大家的身姿。笑著的鈴兒，彼此碰杯的阿力與阿倫，伏在鈴兒胸前撒嬌的渺渺……愛莉的相片之中滲透著日常感，看畢後有種心中暖洋洋的感覺。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82hcZMfx9j
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAonFedbtP
「好靚係唔係？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVi6kRFePv
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCMTU5SXCn
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMKoBsPYIN
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07RKb8vEM0
「愛莉嘅影相技術無異係真材實料，但係想喺香港做一個全職攝影師實在太難，唉。」鈴兒嘆一口氣道，「所以佢亦無辦法，只有向現實低頭，做返會計。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7dFTkBPld
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKto3BnXLm4
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjxOeMTjQT
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ht2m35UrR
「嗯，仲無晒私人時間添。」鈴兒說，「佢係某晚OT到凌晨，忍唔住話落街買咖啡，結果走咗去天星碼頭旁邊忍唔住對住個海喊。又唔想返上去寫字樓，又唔可以一走了之，因為要靠份工生活……」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4YHgHvDA
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0s1MMiTjr
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2dahg6EZZ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDM7OdDSQQ
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUFGNexUc
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9nMMF3R5G
「返去嘅理由…」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy4Var8FLO
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY6AukfjwE
「之後係大廈入面蕩失路，搵唔到升降機大堂，行出大廈只見到阡迴旅館，愛莉就係咁樣嚟到呢度。」鈴兒說。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhwmChf7Oe
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzlpdixeca
我搖頭道：「唔怪得佢唔想返去，係度佢可以盡情影相，又唔使擔心生計，我係佢都唔走。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvcN6SSNXI
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyV4e60HiA
「當然，但問題就係呢度：留係阡迴旅館之中，無論留幾耐都好，佢永遠無可能成為真正嘅攝影師。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrRBpa1OUs
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYHOr87ZeP
我心中一沉。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCLDNRpqfN
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7kva9W7uQ
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHcSy6qEai
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgwjTbQwww
這兒沒有時間流動，雖然我們不會老去不會疲累，但也意味著在阡迴旅館中沒有成為更好版本自己的可能。阡迴旅館內時間是停滯的，所以人生也會定格在這兒。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAaChsCEnG
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOmVWfFQe
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLCPMmHb1W
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44We4bgcRN
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL7vzKHP4f
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Z4Pcz5xh
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK9EGTMycQ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzHgChlKEo
「唔緊要，係我同阿柏早咗到。反正我地呢度唔缺時間啦。」鈴兒馬上擺出開朗的樣子，果然在這笑容下是一顆體貼，溫柔的細膩內心。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmJNSqB5V1
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmpQEdhJFv
「我始終想再睇多次。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ9PBgJ4Cp
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCISOebg9E
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYieOmSYRa
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgVoZcDiSC
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauF8bWotLp
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj9448LAFh
按鈴兒剛剛所說，她就是要使用名為「阡迴之門」的權能，通往時間和平行宇宙…？363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaqCeFv9AY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9AErYGrlG
甚麼跟甚麼。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF62s224il3
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNgvtPth7x
「阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯之處，即使係唔同時間線嘅平行宇宙都包括在內。身為職員嘅我，就係要負責為住客打開阡迴之門，令佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsZQVqUe2
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqLW6jHXT6
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy90NvDh1S
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUu0uZ6y9D
「例如——」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs65u5xZlUy
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDIqO2jQsr
隨她優雅的腰姿擺動往前走，鈴兒腳下的地板突然如泛起漣漪般輕晃，她別著的風鈴髮飾奏鳴出清脆的聲音。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GdaiHPBg
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyrnRofdSj
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMJY3KvtS6
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwFcXsQp8i
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyc0YmWDJG
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasttMXZnWp
「嗯，行呢邊。」鈴兒張開眼回首微笑，然後信步往迴音最為深厚的角落走去。的確很明顯聽得到迴音從這邊傳來，原來風鈴是用來定位的方法。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ay1AZfTcy
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1rn6iCtlr
我們穿過天井下的大堂，迴音的殘響言猶在耳，天井化成巨大的共鳴箱，每隔幾步殘響都會再次掠過中庭，提醒我們前進的方向。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rwOZ1xqVO
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhEcx8Gbyb
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSHLkzXyAA
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZshhFw31E
「Hall 2B？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOkIil2f5
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWrqRF5Yq
這門的風格與阡迴旅館的室內設計格格不入，金屬邊框加上噴砂銅面相當歐式，門柄還是木雕花的長形原木，能看到木紋在凹凸浮雕上起伏。在門的正中央，以秀麗的英文寫上「Hall 2B」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BsPphUcqu
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cQdsn6dqO
「阡迴之門會複製出目的地嘅一扇門，之後穿過去就可以到達目的地。」鈴兒按著門把，「準備好？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicrDH6CEx
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9cxbpOwS0
我點點頭：「嗯。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBpLVDdN3k
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4FDte1jn
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcPlA3WWMC
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01MsuupjpM
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD84Q5KRngO
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHipSoKFKH
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOqhO9enpW
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9dmZKgzMs
「嘎——」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3BqzWGbvN
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uhfhS0kHn
鈴兒推開阡迴之門，我們三人魚貫地通過，門的後方竟然不是阡迴旅館的任何一個空間，而是一個宴會現場！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1UpvYrKto
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUFOSveS6K
「呢度……！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJJlDqLR6r
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi1SD8Mafh
舞台前方大排筵席，人們都衣香鬢影，一桌又一桌的大圓桌旁坐著各國籍的各色人種，但他們都穿得相當體面，男的穿西裝燕尾服，女的穿晚裝裙子。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MUbAEZ3X7
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WpFdYOy4M
啊糟糕了雖然未搞清這是怎麼回事，但我穿著很舒服但絕不適合這兒的鬆身外套和運動褲……363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXSFLqe61s
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ZtMSZGoB
「咦？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwDtiSmbod
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCIyM0J3p
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWAD0Et92B
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTokhlsIP
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzzNTBhwsE
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBxIeB6kM
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVH9Ou6URi
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn198WxhcX
鈴兒穿上了酒紅色的長尾晚裝裙，高根鞋上的黑絲襪與晚裝長手襪互相呼應，而愛莉就穿上了橙色的晚裝裙加上優雅的長披肩。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdSoeiKzlv
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAZKYWQDT8
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455dDZ6j3B
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJhjOceNZ
我回首看看剛才穿過的門，剛好有一名侍者穿門而出，可以看到門後已經變回了酒店金碧輝煌的大堂，絕非古色古香的阡迴旅館。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xxd6bj1sy
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHIVCGxfaD
「呢度係……」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jd0qOYhj
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPS2yeN1o
環顧四周，我馬上看到舞台上的英文標題：世界新聞攝影基金會頒獎典禮，這倒算了，但最嚇人的是後面的年份。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJZXsPKzu
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKou8BuRyfD
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KLYSZkip6
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJy3Glc134
鈴兒說：「年份無寫錯，呢度係未來，應該話係多如恆河沙數無數個未來之中嘅其中一個。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMimYBOdIx
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfZiJ0RhQ
「世界新聞攝影比賽，係世界上其中一個最重要嘅攝影比賽，同美國嘅普立茲獎齊名。但係後者主要係美國人先可以參加，所以……呢度可以話係攝影記者嘅殿堂。」愛莉雙眼閃閃發亮。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr94SeL75AS
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFhxfQju5
「各位先生女士，請大家就座，好快我地今晚嘅典禮就會正式開始。」舞台上出現同樣穿著西裝的主持人，他以英文發言，附近的人聞言也紛紛和正在聊天聚首的人暫時別過，然後坐回自己的座位上。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDTPrM6L4F
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRb3KJdDQU
就在那瞬間，我看到了。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqzddyhu9
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX9vlxwuwN
主舞台前方的一張圓桌旁，一個女士與男伴坐下。那女士不是誰，正是我們身邊的愛莉！但是看年紀似乎年長些許，旁邊那個男人與她也表現親密，無名指上的婚戒……是他的丈夫！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqFmbJE3G6
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvaw2ANW8s
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2wJvOTi38
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr0OBL09a8
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxFSlgmF4u
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J9j7435zg
這種場合都是預先分配好座位的吧，我們身為從阡迴旅館而來的人怎麼辦？363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGIs8H2LxY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTjUBIKESd
「我地行呢邊。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9O1UPTKfQ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLKy6CWI5f
鈴兒領著我們逆人潮而上，賓客回到舞台前的座位，我們離舞台而遠去，如同逆著時間流而上一樣。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtgWrP5z9j
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0FYtZeHAQ
就在我們再次穿門而過前。我卻看到那兒年長的愛莉正回首看著我們的方向！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzbAJRIVOc
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAflMdpPwJ
「嘎——」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZeumUqrI
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkaDAKHiS
穿過大門，我們卻沒有回到阡迴旅館，而是回到了同一個宴會廳！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdPnanYkH
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWtCInemRL
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhvAliZ6DY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJbxi0255
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM3qTb3MHP
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3iRT4xoM
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrZ2fvVa5j
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN2EeKVvix
鈴兒繼續前進，剛好我們這邊的門旁邊有著另一扇門，我們馬上又鑽進去。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVAR5z0Tk2
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPs7s5bSQJ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHOhfLeiY
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpdY0RkrBl
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeESQtQAal
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJDAIeNYMo
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD8zMtUuNs
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL59WW1L9LR
每次穿過門，舞台旁邊的愛莉其打扮都會有些許不同，或是頭髮長了，或是晚裝變了款式，或是頸飾的長度不同，而她身邊的同伴也會男女老幼變個不停，其中一次最離譜是她肩膊上繼續坐著一隻鸚鵡。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNwn1rm02
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUPFjvNh33
但唯有那一句不變。363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdWf1FSDT
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC74iXtPC1O
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPweWkHTniJ
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfO3DCbgfo
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection359ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5LgZyHUHK 維尼
