「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZKIO1u3Zj
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnKRc7qtt
「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？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl72aqTa5u
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlQXu65pf
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JQ4zxJqJC
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfJU9ZDixD
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ28r5FcdE
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGBFuMV9x
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxApNK4M50d
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KOO89nFaL
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUkofpAjnv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26dwzzTffz
卻使我心頭一震！401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq66SsJDFk9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hnesFeA4V
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCmaUdzo2H
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC2NXqi9Fq
甚麼解鈴之人。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFleCRjmOB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg1rLbuMu0
「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？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy4Y88qmEe
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvwCZhnqZE
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjX5u3J1t
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggG6Y9FqvO
「我無。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHpZOfdjUX
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21g3xZBiV1
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNh93qEuys
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM3f8Cwncd
「鈴兒……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7qOU4MHoy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEnZhd7hGI
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsy8E0JLlU
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTeHeWVMQk
「你真係無事？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRGO34wk4j
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6myrGRDm2
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjgvNwRkXh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKn1QVXHmz
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGMfKs9pS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hx1AZMhrO
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yz0DB0XeB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn99rLWUFRk
「明……明白。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6HvbZmu8G
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpSHOFcfYJ
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！401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGFcuDlMPW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBadfffwtW
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsF4SFfKKd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqvvI1DWDG
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUuyKImriJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupX59MKW5m
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nuLWINBvx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX5wBjPorV
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43EBBNzrn
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0E7StthdA
「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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1iHxL0rHp
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8KxVhtjc
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEy6VDCWi
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwebPu7WF2m
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXcaS14j5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVF5hbWY5N
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAErpWhJdr7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvPqg35MzJ
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIeGzgKEh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14V12R4RWc
「好。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9em0KJP5c
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrJPpVHV5P
沙漏中的沙被停下。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnpE2CpJHh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKgkQaZL7R
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1NaPwCj6K
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTydmQvgfhs
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmHOeKNF6y
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY0Bu7qw33
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKLsQhz1jk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjZ8CYzdV
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF9jsO6PRH
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr48xOpdxB
「呃……呃……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9qETlANqp
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTooWy2Fb2
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMtLuPEsSf
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Wbg1ydVD
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5uFcoeIN
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7s2DJ8hl
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QJyhqTyc
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ykwpn5UvX
「……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qaTEs4v1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfsmV8Lg1y
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3GrpdLNZo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsO8tKyil
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN40CygIAjV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGTCovbuLo
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5MmBjmVVW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwI1niACV
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyl3Pztx8F
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBnAy8DSzU
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDw4e8lJVT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpN4hXJWwQ
假如鈴兒是錯的。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ofJLkaqo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtMr9aWo6k
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0KKeSlcKL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp6bT0I5VQ
「……你咩意思？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ8K21xPah
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh86tPbl3C
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？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGP9hR9Ac
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TxBh7JCkF
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2otyRwCBqy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2jRfyXim
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ORxnPBbcS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbITRpZ4Uyn
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfKFa2cum3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvJmQRlaKj
「阡迴之門？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv27BETZIb
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpkCbr1z8
「跟我嚟。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwK9MSjlAO
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXJjOmz2HQ
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7P71Ddsd7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbiazMFzzw
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMdm1gxLBP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLTLwyk4G
「叮…叮……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZvEjI6j4w
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQ3BsLozT
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOdSWLrfj
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgQOr2FKmN
「就會咁。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0Dmw1USq
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cqmP84LC
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyIPAhFcIw
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNADSTMlhLX
「係阡迴旅館？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaHRc8iDRm
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsVjkrjGu
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGneSpI6e7B
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bxxycRwO1
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLc1rL2g2O
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IexZmF8ZQ
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GCZW7rRtl
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnCcXPfA8R
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm6pKyXVpb
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewyiMvxtFm
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybcN1rRYvy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQHAAyMbY4
沒有回去常世的未來。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZC02Yt1H
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMe2Yai0n
「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！」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Zc0NTGKT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEilPLSeeg
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEuvyYrtHX
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0buJxdZYKZ
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXuz2AwJ5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEqcSA7Jd
可是，卻——401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqVvEFUsSC
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWLAi6V7R
「無。」鈴兒說。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT4d8W9lU7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXASMFBbW2
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMIewThTn9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAs2Vnz840
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqgieOolP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCODZ9R8wo
「真心咩……」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fv9P0ujeO
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpYP1ZcyQ
「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？」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ9pZmnkqU
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJYeyUHia
我一時間答不出來。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqqiNAFfk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhSe6mYcv1
回家？當然了，我想回家。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6QD3RQtWg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YY9yhwA4O
但之後呢？401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWz3lJn5su
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlghZJCo6Dp
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？401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8afeUIqaT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKe041q1Xx
我甚麼也不會成為的。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYYeuR9Lsl
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q9CWwIAD3
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？401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziqNQJi66M
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHW0u0tfE1
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUY5uRxA7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxqy4pXhx3
「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。」401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpRadDsZPi
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr94qeVhZr
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfaroa7D1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEBWacXWAI
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ178BiFb08t
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyiABtAaSK
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。401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiSBaEgur9
