「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHydCLXjxq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JfuF2naD7
「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？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2PJCfA8S
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD2TEf9XQL
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpGfpkKTCS
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbUfSrvplp
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffAnbyobo
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILsYT7n6Y
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdbX9jADIB
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml85IuOWee
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTJ20XRMZ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizH5OUejMY
卻使我心頭一震！255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4im1Gqk3xt
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBBWbVa2hb
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45CIY0KF8r
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoEsqvm3e
甚麼解鈴之人。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I9obrIsKA
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVqxZCIgJ
「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？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByw34Zs4Em
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv51vrIpdXc
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1demZG2Lk
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W8VVRdknm
「我無。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pWivYjUlh
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2HJYGTrkG
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHesrzEhT8
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb14hxYswE
「鈴兒……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowZaywVMKr
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBiLNkWQe4
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmzPiSgknw
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqMI3B6cD
「你真係無事？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLco6PWlPB
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlyopgA59Y
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTaHyx84f
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6YmeCe7AO
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcYQGmLEu
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVbt8z3aVm
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX2naPT0Pu
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtDgrUfWtf
「明……明白。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHHXzzoWUv
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZZPbATxM0
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！255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOWgsi87FF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDfm4t9C7v
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7eOYmEqdQ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOayKBa397K
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEJEFqN3x
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5U5SVBo3x
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLjCXMzg5M
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEfCQ4nquJ
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xyeKf91f
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85dtGY8xe
「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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ACGpUuxK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHFCjiPVbx
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IEQknmpxi
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccdYQX1Ly9
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykVDyf3iMl
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4QzbYlZW
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Oty1QlIp
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRIiXWahfV
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjLA1ufXVi
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZaL7DBPe
「好。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9JaGThDI
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l9xCcVJyL
沙漏中的沙被停下。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahl8QokwQ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtenQZ2paz
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGtM8CwSYE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1tLVDvhiN
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCnf9AyU2u
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxnthaL9tc
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQfjqf8SQa
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SE28z4mPi
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs28l6T2Y7G
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXRQWwzUA
「呃……呃……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbYp5vo5C
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jn1V9LrJs
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS40wEnlivK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ04PwhJbr
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4PYvzScYp
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UjmytxYXJ
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PrQkLUS5j
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93QfprazRx
「……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt4jnMYNs7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFQYTQipXp
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8U7gd3l3a
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujcAinrvfM
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3okakt4oE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNjUVBIwJ
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddqwsKnmT7
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicesrY9dNR
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1mxKsawo
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMcd8hUclr
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0zFA7zkEr
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHld5ZkQpz
假如鈴兒是錯的。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpuMxf04GH
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYnfmfdXmF
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPPrc2phE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJRWTi2FJ
「……你咩意思？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrvRYHevcf
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcz8k5UGSN
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？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbulNH0h220
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCZuqXQND
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKWpv6K3OF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH6dxTPq3W
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmnQFF81X4
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJSn8TB9F
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFJe0BDeZF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ksm1NF9UF
「阡迴之門？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzsTD3NObh
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSUlkNvzw
「跟我嚟。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCw3ybRd1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtWNpYqFDd
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLoucjcfVG
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6KygYDFiN
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgoBHqTqIW
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8KUtKGZQK
「叮…叮……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVRJCMx2QE
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusMRUmaG82
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi89IpOAfIL
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxLIvfRiY
「就會咁。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQI4NqT1YF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonF5bGRSFd
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElh48EWqF
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOctOa7An
「係阡迴旅館？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDEiM1fGvo
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB5VUtKkGa
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1v0qIlRrq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lDqCY8rA
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7EKaQwOmu
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjnJz4B4wV
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bKt8W4yj8
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbcJxyg9bz
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY7tdcZtYG
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllKuwfgUQD
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDjW5yvof
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAcVClQZs6
沒有回去常世的未來。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbC1PUwea1
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zp4TwoaHR
「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！」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5gP7oz4oX
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRV6iaF5VA
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9j8GJP3W
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNOhR14QdU
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9wJLQt23Q
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvfPecdXe
可是，卻——255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeverYuEec
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfunPtELGo8
「無。」鈴兒說。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMUEZ6BH2p
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveET2R3SZ6
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMYFRAr2Bl
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykGdeeFEa
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh5G4oJUiD
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ941ZwN9iIt
「真心咩……」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLvGNdVATq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwSL3aKIG
「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？」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgolNfBAKd
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2mQeZcWND
我一時間答不出來。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXzraDruq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHZRmJa3z2
回家？當然了，我想回家。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c1YGVG5wJ
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP2zsTaB6K
但之後呢？255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlStsfx9Qmq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTcCKz2NiF
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？255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhh7vOskKp
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PWl3wSx8K
我甚麼也不會成為的。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zUYQZp7uV
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL4NHP6dpR
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？255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mj8iyHYJC
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLh4LMKDm
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3soLtB5WTD
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JWc46dwXe
「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。」255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzB0QP5qT2
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd7Gg7JxjH
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJJPQ13Iq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjH5ekYmnC
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXw8lXS2vq
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnxFKU4rVH
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。255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs7qeEpyn1
