愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNvtM7s6QK
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNXjN9myU
但準確來說，是前攝影師。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgvYJmsKs5
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eg0Ibyntb
「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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFMXJiBa3
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1lpqmvaaZ
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAtuQGkymP
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMYcTvjbM8
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVM6ymi6Lq
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9gumgkqzB
「好靚係唔係？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e67RsiYFE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee959zSMKf
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJOKsarHmV
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLltKaiFLnt
「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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoHsvXJXA4
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpOJuYj7iY
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpmgoWqzY7
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCnvtyrKNH
「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……」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDc8k66sSc
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBqJ56oRKM
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdod4mYQPhj
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKd5mRs20
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hUJUcTGCg
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEOa0IJgq3
「返去嘅理由…」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgMaTlDmyy
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tjJsRW0Rn
「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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qOZQG8CIu
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFbCdmWdiH
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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CeNl8l4OP
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd5W0EpvpC
「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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XkrhnLWbg
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwDuY1IrA
我心中一沉。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMFAVeWGfX
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHG7FVbRj0
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK3wWdYFWY
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYTHU6phA
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DvBxXtnW0
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7vJkTosjU
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJh0VBKN4N
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0fGrUPEZ
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6UpYYrRXW
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwqsZ9K0fZ
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkllXylMD6
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttKfZjrNj
「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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpqyeMtI0
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoKljVxy60
「我始終想再睇多次。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfWMDHlcGl
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9tMSe1nRV
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ARHdLECh
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKg75oB62E
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCV4BT89o3
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmtE4jxsy
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…？488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuAsjPQ5ph
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuitYPk7F
甚麼跟甚麼。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIyksYgddt
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uqEinpObl
「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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEWkGpRs4F
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJWVFAcpA
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZBMkjNEIN
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGgp5KbKjP
「例如——」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDeACrMN6
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJkiR6XmWq
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogXqEKhFh
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUzThPtxcO
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWluGaLn54
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqarVOJRZu
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9spK4lgWVZ
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxqfLNl35
「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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuJ1TxJQs
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv1L45JN73
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsVCaiYrU
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQOQy7ZpNQ
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ6iCNAPnV
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qe4MEBefy
「Hall 2B？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjJX4ReQFJ
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEwutUZs22
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」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMqx6fUUj0
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRyyMdEu75
「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？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8URU35CfEB
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePNzuQMA2O
我點點頭：「嗯。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6tjsqRpfk
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ58ebzDUD
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYM9KKp0JH
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUmtyo9cMz
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDDzSIfPyG
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlvLl7KJkJ
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2G4wf7piO
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk726V9sRF9
「嘎——」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQfReTcG1b
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBLM59UvNc
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！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrw0FJQqOO
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUWbWwNPYK
「呢度……！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5wB00t6M8
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAS5anHEFt
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmztDz2X40q
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SKuzDGzdN
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……488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGJZ7m87x
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZlMV7d1ib
「咦？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z5HNfVyyE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDwT1ryO6b
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSverPHduKq
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JRUFDwzjz
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfATlCvuI56
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypRHQGmhgg
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BWcpGWPjN
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j2Wrk0aV4
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7kWuNgper
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FA3ymAbk
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUMcrxF6X7
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjth4q1qyz
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3FZYknxTe
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mf4AoYA3Q
「呢度係……」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD94dEJIRH4
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Lk1GRD9P
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgjOks7owD
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF0vP4nFbX
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6tAQNTlTl
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2u3u5Mtj
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。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0DTUgmNU
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvcmvIPt3k
「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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjHX1UR5v
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TIjr0TJeW
「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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSxTFD0gwe
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKb7Cft2jH
就在那瞬間，我看到了。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5vhtWBGr
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpULS0OuOU
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！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTC5JVjOF8
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumWBJlJXiF
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheVrvsUBP6
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0bMFOas6t
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWeyjDTbg2
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLMIuyKz24
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？488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlleP779tD
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAajXH92bBS
「我地行呢邊。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiz1gbl3U
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq64fn06cV
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy1UGeeC3S
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YHtoI5ih2
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！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZeGTBzum
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOWUuqYyni
「嘎——」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j4hhUZjud
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFCvalpXxq
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！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlsBg270U
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24jbgzuraS
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR3HwojtGE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6feL0OFWD
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKB9VPZjI
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFovZnZ3HP4
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweVLOvYYYh
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWFRrju9mG
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL2ZYbdEUw
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IDKl6Xwt
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2jx0ohffR
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Y0KXuUQc
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHwGPik3EO
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb94muFmywW
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFXo72cnXN
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y7CRVP5tU
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。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxSQLjxZBG
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysxxv6FMqc
但唯有那一句不變。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBypzXIIWn3
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq9ZikzzN7
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfT3SHdfzt
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxzeDxR8G
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection484ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0aRlnWXN0 維尼
