「咦?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAW4PE70Dv8k
437Please respect copyright.PENANAwKbX1wUBMU
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!437Please respect copyright.PENANAiTwc8r5jrY
437Please respect copyright.PENANAfHIISmxUyh
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?437Please respect copyright.PENANA89KzP2Wk5c
437Please respect copyright.PENANA6K2De5khut
我迷路了——我突然意識到這件事。437Please respect copyright.PENANA9hN5Im2MgM
437Please respect copyright.PENANAxtclrNmqsB
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……437Please respect copyright.PENANA63Nmjom1Zq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAc2LOgVZaV1
「溫年柏。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAFgbWg9Siff
437Please respect copyright.PENANAH1blV9OT7K
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAsU5vWlf4z3
437Please respect copyright.PENANAoFWnhbfNHp
「……貓?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAMsKaqMzXMl
437Please respect copyright.PENANAHYYt1O75Ba
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAwsonPZdmUL
437Please respect copyright.PENANAkAAVyMYjJX
「喵~」437Please respect copyright.PENANA8r1yQX3O0P
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWadldtUQzY
「頭先,你叫我?」我竟然向貓兒發問,我終於發瘋了嗎?437Please respect copyright.PENANAe6nL6eFnSJ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAGcA6XHNFLz
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAiGNCKSk7Ij
437Please respect copyright.PENANAitE82OwFS5
「叮…叮…」437Please respect copyright.PENANAqiJXwmn3Bf
437Please respect copyright.PENANAzu4c6wJ6bq
只是在半夜的路邊,這樣特別詭異。437Please respect copyright.PENANAPDmuK3DJez
437Please respect copyright.PENANAb8ZYxlj7bx
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA8XnzRiZh1a
437Please respect copyright.PENANAZQkehre46T
只能追上去了吧。437Please respect copyright.PENANAeNskZruA1W
437Please respect copyright.PENANAcCkVJz7WBl
我追著這貓兒偏離了公路,身後只有密林和樹影。437Please respect copyright.PENANAdoF5iEqOxR
437Please respect copyright.PENANAz8KZgoEmEB
「喵~」437Please respect copyright.PENANA3xEbGOabU9
437Please respect copyright.PENANA5m0ID2ZlZk
「叮…叮…」437Please respect copyright.PENANA5F8prt3JWz
437Please respect copyright.PENANASsMA2zfUKP
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdBvuOI4v
437Please respect copyright.PENANAR7w7Ab7cV0
「你想帶我去邊度?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAnBoHtKuA5T
437Please respect copyright.PENANAhY6NPt0zVx
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANANbqBZMA1fi
437Please respect copyright.PENANAbRI872dxSD
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAyQegMhzN3a
437Please respect copyright.PENANA6jr6VeVtd3
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAoFIyho7GTA
437Please respect copyright.PENANAoPEFcKOzFt
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANATD6QDksRzo
437Please respect copyright.PENANAtFruTNtQUk
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?437Please respect copyright.PENANAmvKYUvPIzI
437Please respect copyright.PENANAkLs3PvJTsx
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIGxf9EOh
437Please respect copyright.PENANASJVjEtjV1n
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?437Please respect copyright.PENANAarAFpgRsbg
437Please respect copyright.PENANADk2L5j7TOo
而且這兒是哪?437Please respect copyright.PENANAcmJtSbAjbu
437Please respect copyright.PENANAyUJkaljNLG
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…437Please respect copyright.PENANAH2dCNWl3Pr
437Please respect copyright.PENANAFoRawvqevF
東涌附近有這樣的稻米田嗎?不可能。437Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bi6YYrNMR
437Please respect copyright.PENANAcXhUDI01qC
「喵~」437Please respect copyright.PENANAy2FfeGu7Rb
437Please respect copyright.PENANAtwBpM7kQHE
「叮……叮……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAKB2sPKe0uk
437Please respect copyright.PENANASDMMqFGGsj
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAP1D3G86A4i
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWSHR6cLccp
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAdYNqZa4PCC
437Please respect copyright.PENANACf3vIcB8v5
那兒,有一座建築物在。437Please respect copyright.PENANAU4tZS442yS
437Please respect copyright.PENANAcNX3Cm2srI
「個度係……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAbzKdiBtfOL
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1jnbr2wW3Q
才看一眼我就知道那不是香港的建築物了。437Please respect copyright.PENANAtnPUrnwsLg
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8ptObjfH
437Please respect copyright.PENANAxkbhS6ktUv
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWZPyfdd2eg
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAV8jTfyg0e6
437Please respect copyright.PENANArSnIZHxSao
木塔前還有零落的幾根麻石柱,上方刻著扭扭曲曲的圖騰。437Please respect copyright.PENANAv3SpXLZjl1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAjq0tTDmAnF
日式?還是中式建築?無論是哪邊都不可能是香港的建築。437Please respect copyright.PENANAlP2i6VXziE
437Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZTFnt2Dts
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAqEwL18K00k
437Please respect copyright.PENANAarnL2DW1GF
放眼望去,空無一人。437Please respect copyright.PENANAoMgLEOY3Mw
437Please respect copyright.PENANAyvHJid8DZq
「呢度邊度嚟……」437Please respect copyright.PENANApLIG1Od7FD
437Please respect copyright.PENANAPIMwLtli2I
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAbDNYZ35z0p
437Please respect copyright.PENANABU0TzR6fwG
「喵~」437Please respect copyright.PENANAWdlWCFGqa1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQHRTWjAbaR
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAv3WSTs0Yp0
437Please respect copyright.PENANA2B75tUiWpW
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA1LQdtGJ7DX
437Please respect copyright.PENANAIrWEdNdOt8
「行呢邊?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAkqjE4321qK
437Please respect copyright.PENANA4fWDvzzqws
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAfeWtElAp5P
437Please respect copyright.PENANATZN8guHkRl
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANANb9gI4ZzzQ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAldxBZwNoBo
「……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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAlB1rPT4Kle
437Please respect copyright.PENANALtQp42kXm1
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAU9MSH4vXCV
437Please respect copyright.PENANAGCnDwYOPzB
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA97CgKolyku
437Please respect copyright.PENANAt36Em1F2Bj
既然有燈,就自然代表有人在這兒對吧。437Please respect copyright.PENANAUaG1EM6mVR
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJv7ofso9DA
入口的木牌說這兒叫阡迴旅館,就暫時這樣稱呼。437Please respect copyright.PENANATs5bp9Pe3n
437Please respect copyright.PENANAVctqs5elPz
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA9ub5M132CS
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAZumdm9CXR
放眼四周,也看不到路牌,招牌之類的地標。437Please respect copyright.PENANAQOOdn8fBOV
437Please respect copyright.PENANAGo74KW3Nco
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?437Please respect copyright.PENANAb37VYSgQv7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAW7qUVXdywi
門就在那兒。437Please respect copyright.PENANATHDiCGyPpw
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnYXi7laMO3
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA569PpXlPni
437Please respect copyright.PENANAV3qIk4V6lQ
「嘎——」437Please respect copyright.PENANApPSZzPpjoG
437Please respect copyright.PENANAniv3C0yDRh
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANADzTySXI5yq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAz3abbhGiBE
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANApNzgX2pKNw
437Please respect copyright.PENANA0z8Vu9179k
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?!437Please respect copyright.PENANAcu3WuIAAk0
437Please respect copyright.PENANAThnW59qrid
「嘩…嘩!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAWNaeyjrTVG
437Please respect copyright.PENANA83R7EEnl0N
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?!437Please respect copyright.PENANAWeGlrh27zg
437Please respect copyright.PENANA58yeZVEaTO
「乜…乜料…」437Please respect copyright.PENANAAS4iFhmIvK
437Please respect copyright.PENANAM9xL0sBVbZ
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!437Please respect copyright.PENANA0r6Le1nWuh
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnURGfmHEoI
「嗚隆……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAZrMiBH565p
437Please respect copyright.PENANATNsjYUlTiR
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAPzaufoEKG6
437Please respect copyright.PENANAy06wpHAGCf
「叮叮……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAfbBkSw8o2c
437Please respect copyright.PENANAUT4DgVqFdJ
風鈴聲?是那隻貓!437Please respect copyright.PENANAit1S4Dk0Kk
437Please respect copyright.PENANApLvIUS24Fe
我把視野從天井收回,望向風鈴聲的來源,卻是一名少女。437Please respect copyright.PENANAha7vncXMeX
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1CWbK6qfMV
「哎呀,係意料之外嘅客人。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA3UMtvOLAeP
437Please respect copyright.PENANAwR0pJzSUJP
少女的聲音亦如風鈴一樣清脆悅耳。437Please respect copyright.PENANA5jXsgHnbl8
437Please respect copyright.PENANAk9EeacMJfP
「你…呢度……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAIUZt2hqN4m
437Please respect copyright.PENANALoN8adBUDq
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAUHyHwEyNsM
437Please respect copyright.PENANAEU1kRMybKC
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAI4gF8XZjJd
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAIO8wZAaFJ
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA8yQpy3exST
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnzgGBvotX0
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAWOfxGDQ3zX
437Please respect copyright.PENANAje7gnBBJO5
「……咳。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA54lJOpJW2z
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQm8V22Ifio
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?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAhhPlwYpbde
437Please respect copyright.PENANADo8uHsuRGL
「我頭先先講完:歡迎你嚟到阡迴旅館。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ21XXp4mt
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8rGZagtHeh
「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……」437Please respect copyright.PENANApRg3zgqq63
437Please respect copyright.PENANAIJjjOwjZvm
「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?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAxXC4RTCTQD
437Please respect copyright.PENANAW4z4CSPYTV
「溫年柏。新年個年,木字邊個柏。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAhG5aob8MYO
437Please respect copyright.PENANAjcI0KS3CyJ
「溫年柏……你係由邊度而嚟?」437Please respect copyright.PENANApFFoDASOm1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAc4C7tcoF6B
「邊度……迪,迪士尼站啊。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAVfSh3VjiK7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAaRHINaUdOY
「溫年柏……溫年柏……」437Please respect copyright.PENANADoc94DnNq7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQ78Rhqx4JC
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAfLr4aUlq7B
437Please respect copyright.PENANAaJG1XLUNHM
「溫…溫…溫年柏?」少女皺眉道,「你肯定你叫呢個名?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAgMBATiT2C2
437Please respect copyright.PENANAangrwxpm2K
我不禁啞然失笑:「我用咗呢個名都廿四年,都幾肯定。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAnVoedk14nH
437Please respect copyright.PENANAj8CYPCiK1Y
「嗯……」她似乎再從頭找起。437Please respect copyright.PENANAbtH47OKcRa
437Please respect copyright.PENANAd2pnAnZvXV
「話說,我個名唔係你本簿度好正常啊。」437Please respect copyright.PENANACEvks1atWa
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7vk5Ud4F
「點解?」少女的指尖停在「陳立正」一行旁抬頭望我。437Please respect copyright.PENANAQUPywbLcM3
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXaQWiGinjl
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAgGNN2OzL4X
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8hvVNjZKTZ
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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2aUYE8jg4
437Please respect copyright.PENANAn3J5tssLYE
「下?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAAisJGBmzGq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQAYtM8hlJK
「所以你既然出現得喺呢度,你個名就應該會喺上面至岩……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAWyxxfLBkKN
437Please respect copyright.PENANAGF2OENYLLJ
突然我有個感覺:她不會是瘋子吧?437Please respect copyright.PENANAJciaLKGjB4
437Please respect copyright.PENANAdojYPFFAQq
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANARahcVXV3jb
437Please respect copyright.PENANAzhzwu51qeY
「咁,咁你慢慢搵,唔使急啊。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAmL4MR6J0lK
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWyYqUez3vT
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……437Please respect copyright.PENANA8ltFWnO1QC
437Please respect copyright.PENANA68l92PV5RM
「喵~」437Please respect copyright.PENANAlxAPxiGdy1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAulJJbX8yGP
「叮叮~」437Please respect copyright.PENANAiVSA6p3TuU
437Please respect copyright.PENANAALoBQFwqYW
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANArOj6lppxfW
437Please respect copyright.PENANADo9L6zd1Gr
「渺渺?」少女抬頭叫喚,原來這貓叫渺渺。437Please respect copyright.PENANAJHrUXYdT4W
437Please respect copyright.PENANAbQmSqrs2I0
「叮~」437Please respect copyright.PENANAAqMe9qHbH6
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWpXtiopiXe
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!437Please respect copyright.PENANAIH5P573W1q
437Please respect copyright.PENANACAjECqG2Dc
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAu6eRlgwsnA
437Please respect copyright.PENANARsc7aGCNII
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAbYX2FPw6Op
437Please respect copyright.PENANAphbokgJMWL
「我由頭解釋一次你聽,首先……」437Please respect copyright.PENANA9ztrxode9m
437Please respect copyright.PENANAvohq2HpNEd
「首先,你叫咩名?」我打斷她。437Please respect copyright.PENANAfdLpJNmqNZ
437Please respect copyright.PENANA7cPaUtzbbQ
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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAVIg2vSnJXN
437Please respect copyright.PENANAsk6qxfWs0Q
「夏鈴兒……」437Please respect copyright.PENANApYqKPpUHWS
437Please respect copyright.PENANADB5skF2Lid
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANA77mMdolLCV
437Please respect copyright.PENANAg4fdMfmox5
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ0B23Nqe2
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1nspUvTprO
迷路嗎?其實不然。437Please respect copyright.PENANAlHWvbdA2LK
437Please respect copyright.PENANADz414G9pdM
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAW8rIY3lfrL
437Please respect copyright.PENANAdrcVVFhl11
然後來到了這兒。437Please respect copyright.PENANA0lyczNBm9U
437Please respect copyright.PENANAxWsrKtj86X
「咁古今中外咁多人蕩失路,呢度咪好熱鬧?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAHh8lWfcIvE
437Please respect copyright.PENANAerBGs2Wpfi
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA4q3umf5RKE
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQYMfUGh9ee
「離開……」437Please respect copyright.PENANApSuTTBj79L
437Please respect copyright.PENANALd6Lufi0Aw
「嗯,但簿上面無你個名,我都係第一次見咁嘅情況。」437Please respect copyright.PENANABMRtwrGiYB
437Please respect copyright.PENANAaGDxNxn80W
「即係我有可能返唔到出去?!」437Please respect copyright.PENANARGvTzvkEzd
437Please respect copyright.PENANA6eBf57G8BY
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA8oQT8MNMB1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAEf3ogAL8lI
「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……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAKpijmF6jVR
437Please respect copyright.PENANAqGPb7806PA
「啊,關於呢個問題。」夏鈴兒凝重地看著我,「你完全唔需要擔心。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAP0XVQjgx68
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXK31jmIu7i
「點唔擔心?!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAf81IzFO8El
437Please respect copyright.PENANAfFwU2NXw9t
「我就問,你肚唔肚餓?」437Please respect copyright.PENANARqMMYpws5d
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXVf990ULwj
「突然之間問嚟做咩,唔肚餓啊!」437Please respect copyright.PENANA4XC8nrasgA
437Please respect copyright.PENANANrIkEXxQyK
「但你上次食飯係幾耐之前?」夏鈴兒問。437Please respect copyright.PENANAlJG45j8jHi
437Please respect copyright.PENANAMDdXHlhWga
「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?437Please respect copyright.PENANAnlVVrIQ3Rh
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJpBQY9dBdV
「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?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAeXOzCwH9G1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAPDKhGTYqqt
的確。437Please respect copyright.PENANAWJycUECgrc
437Please respect copyright.PENANAqcfNuFTdWP
被她這樣一說,的確如此。437Please respect copyright.PENANA0MiNKHggTj
437Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fhm2jPdo6
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……437Please respect copyright.PENANAgGJjr5IaE0
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmUuQITODsj
時間?437Please respect copyright.PENANAU7wrjgXKrU
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAabjgr6vRf
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.437Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLTGZlS1b
437Please respect copyright.PENANAUGrbpeGwwK
「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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAAGK64ky00C
437Please respect copyright.PENANAMovrti4WnM
異世空間:阡迴旅館。437Please respect copyright.PENANAzt0dR5VimI
437Please respect copyright.PENANABOBUkYBFj6
本來我想反駁甚麼,但眼前的02:23AM字樣證實著她所言非虛。437Please respect copyright.PENANAdd3sK3a6EB
437Please respect copyright.PENANAhW0neKgf5i
時間……空間……獨立於常世的時間線同空間結構?437Please respect copyright.PENANAHjhn0fg27H
437Please respect copyright.PENANAqDuafVbIfW
「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!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAHcDrt5lqdq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAd4B4cQ9igC
我抱起腳邊的渺渺。437Please respect copyright.PENANAQWgkfg1BPQ
437Please respect copyright.PENANASWb2lUBWqX
「你睇!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAPWEe3Sz32E
437Please respect copyright.PENANAUQR3F1DBVv
「喵嗚?!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAl46jcSj1Gv
437Please respect copyright.PENANAfttlppcuJq
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANApu5b8iwDEF
437Please respect copyright.PENANAHTOeiiI8R8
「點會無時間存在?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAd4TV8NKCpA
437Please respect copyright.PENANAUjd7Vouqlp
「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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAd0BvgtQeWZ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAVPPq45uGqU
「我唔明……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAQzzoQqjz8E
437Please respect copyright.PENANABwwPYWW9ri
「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?」437Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZrvXOoP8Y
437Please respect copyright.PENANAByqB6KSCVc
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAD46F50py43
437Please respect copyright.PENANAzOF31HjmXb
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?437Please respect copyright.PENANAQgHQqyDcr8
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8wL0Y0PnYM
「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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAJklQ3IUiS7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAIYkd6JXuCM
「好,好啦……咁到底係咩一回事?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAqRELrmsBzc
437Please respect copyright.PENANATXPqsuem2j
夏鈴兒瞪我一會兒,似乎真的相信我是由衷地提問,才道——437Please respect copyright.PENANAOCYrt50CXc
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1bHSeu1R06
「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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA8nUP5VAe6a
437Please respect copyright.PENANACqmzJoussx
「走失兒童服務中心?」樂園之中也有這種設施。437Please respect copyright.PENANAuya9w84iV5
437Please respect copyright.PENANA2BpKSKLIr3
「係呢個世界會走失嘅唔只得兒童。」夏鈴兒說。437Please respect copyright.PENANAU5DH1hUEW4
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8wI00W2VDW
「咁嚟到呢度嘅人,你頭先話只要有…返去嘅方法,同埋乜話?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAWVHhZpJ4PI
437Please respect copyright.PENANAgkoK9JeHdc
「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?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAizM5C2wZgZ
437Please respect copyright.PENANAvBu5hDaWzL
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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAnLho7IROLP
437Please respect copyright.PENANAy77YriP8Xw
「……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。」437Please respect copyright.PENANA69ECi5tTkT
437Please respect copyright.PENANA4I8XpPnT0K
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAfJnJjlqzXG
437Please respect copyright.PENANAqtdIMPoLob
「咁我返去搵路返屋企先,拜拜。」437Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Z7qOG4zq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAbZTmVeDi44
「等陣見。」夏鈴兒嘴角卻揚起笑意。437Please respect copyright.PENANA9GLBh7maLH
437Please respect copyright.PENANAvfuBinWUl3
別小看我了!437Please respect copyright.PENANAFvEqzA7zyT
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXcy51U6SUw
我轉身拉門而出,看到眼前風景的瞬間卻站住了腳步。437Please respect copyright.PENANAVfXgki7eVY
437Please respect copyright.PENANA2ViiVPNVlH
剛剛的稻田不見了。437Please respect copyright.PENANAGG5lH3cd2q
437Please respect copyright.PENANAt55yZvCCYJ
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAn271LehDTN
437Please respect copyright.PENANA7e5CQfDKTd
「啱先啲田……」437Please respect copyright.PENANAsiS34hLmTs
437Please respect copyright.PENANAiRrrl03ATW
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAcmxjb5OwNb
437Please respect copyright.PENANA9MvomK12ep
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——437Please respect copyright.PENANA8SJITuMp8t
437Please respect copyright.PENANAm7qoOI8rBv
石磚的排列方式不同了。437Please respect copyright.PENANAQP5WJiSwWk
437Please respect copyright.PENANA1fC5v5zaBZ
街燈的款式不同了。437Please respect copyright.PENANANhS1wsFuTM
437Please respect copyright.PENANARXdMXzi9ud
建築物窗戶的細節不同了。437Please respect copyright.PENANA541NPw9Rg2
437Please respect copyright.PENANAQTOFwUxZ3Z
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!437Please respect copyright.PENANAm5gey3TAYV
437Please respect copyright.PENANAqjdgih6Njw
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAEDmKDYtNNW
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZUqmDM9p6
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAWWdhAxTCzV
437Please respect copyright.PENANA7stEN5ERsY
真是活見鬼,這真是活見鬼,出去後去廟拜神之類吧。437Please respect copyright.PENANArj1bPLExlO
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZjBudlYh
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAviY6StJNHq
437Please respect copyright.PENANAiflb3L0Af1
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!437Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Hk3gEC9m
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJTqNxsdghn
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAAeER2sr7Hh
437Please respect copyright.PENANAPGkeluv7zX
海邊直路盡頭,不就東涌的屋苑嗎?437Please respect copyright.PENANAxek5MxXoke
437Please respect copyright.PENANAL0PBEvSLdA
「哈…」437Please respect copyright.PENANAUic0K4eZiC
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnNbKYR4cNK
終,終於到了!437Please respect copyright.PENANA9MwTxIcKwK
437Please respect copyright.PENANA8f39bR9QaC
「哈哈,哈哈哈哈!!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAEBOBJKS15M
437Please respect copyright.PENANA4mmsUjjJc1
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……437Please respect copyright.PENANAhvW8DvCq1A
437Please respect copyright.PENANAfzWxCn7br8
02:23AM
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWi9LjjCfp6
437Please respect copyright.PENANAiJiR12sm0Q
「屌啊?!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAze9MSsyIYX
437Please respect copyright.PENANAWjQyFoCM8L
時間沒有前進。437Please respect copyright.PENANAAvYwG5kyGa
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmaZlPAtCrD
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAjQDLo16u4A
437Please respect copyright.PENANAwLTdw9GrPi
「無理由,無理由,痴線嘅咩,點可能?!點撚可能?!」437Please respect copyright.PENANAE0wluj4gaR
437Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Sfux9GN1
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!!437Please respect copyright.PENANAaVB3hMQb5J
437Please respect copyright.PENANAOTQDUnezOp
阡 迴 旅 館
437Please respect copyright.PENANA233DwopsLl
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAhtJHiWyDH
大廈的灰暗陰影中,一座格格不入的七層木塔巍然屹立著。437Please respect copyright.PENANAufTBk11ZG1
437Please respect copyright.PENANAnbpNMneoAz
「嗄…嗄…」437Please respect copyright.PENANAzBupTYnbrX
437Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nrxr58cdi
我抬頭看著滲著暖光的木塔,不敢相信眼前的異象。437Please respect copyright.PENANA3bauyNwRiK
437Please respect copyright.PENANAb8nIAnIYF3
「嘎——」437Please respect copyright.PENANAUtmmFRtLtV
437Please respect copyright.PENANA5kvgi2i4Y2
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAJGmkuyshSw
437Please respect copyright.PENANACxbrii2E5M
「喲,返嚟喇?」437Please respect copyright.PENANAd6nj3Dx7Qv
437Please respect copyright.PENANAoZq91Jh3eO
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAhTOKJ8Di5O
437Please respect copyright.PENANAVshtKQMuwu
略側身避著勁風的她微微回首向我微笑。437Please respect copyright.PENANAfcE79cdik4
437Please respect copyright.PENANAAFhXgAc91N
「歡迎返嚟,溫年柏,容我再同你講一次——」437Please respect copyright.PENANAJl9NwOQPfz
437Please respect copyright.PENANAmzUl1mf0Wy
437Please respect copyright.PENANAJifOEeAWS3
437Please respect copyright.PENANAHGxLohNCz7
437Please respect copyright.PENANAXqosLogp6x
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。437Please respect copyright.PENANAUZZuFzsOGi
437Please respect copyright.PENANAVYQ4uF31iL
「——歡迎嚟到阡迴旅館。」
