愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6GFYYQxnC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkicpgtY20C
但準確來說，是前攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizoCJJDJiy
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZzcMfhFIU
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQtBcagAb
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd0SUpBIDc
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntsMwsYa9h
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlbEkM9Xt
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCNn3nstXA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHmnqIs13n
「好靚係唔係？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjRN5nxPOY
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYkdTyYgWl
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj34os7I99
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BiAo8PTo
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7I09BLkQ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22NERf45cv
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjCL7A8dwx
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDAjwTpwZ
「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……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeRt9jIvEx
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedlSMWmpZU
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCftZxkPwqM
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSjKKzN9iA
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdxskrvUgT
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxuVSONWXH
「返去嘅理由…」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtstjeoGupN
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjEQnApGQ
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPZ1ycUxdX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mJlCsihs7
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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUwZdjQEP3
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOxar84ONr
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2lcrM2gfC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6awOnhP1Df
我心中一沉。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cH07fTLr6
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqsr6wQ9cp
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSX5Da8144
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQbinU18B3
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbSER5ELZ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAPkbwXC1l
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcvw5kHsCI
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kwYUcu3RL
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6HQkfVg4Y
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5svpVl0o0z
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXpBoJkMms
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4A3jcvTO
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgtsx5nsiy
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSSosTyWBN
「我始終想再睇多次。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV6tnVS8Fj
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCUsHIWE1A
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjujKCzEfD1
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvndXdXcZsr
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBXP073WUA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiCtBmK7ev
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…？832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBH1bMxR97
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngiIuQe88
甚麼跟甚麼。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgzMDLUNxB
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jtSbjlZUn
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv4oVMGM55
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPMbHmPMwT
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjxYu8zrOf
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc92VE7me5
「例如——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcu8m8QGn
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOxQGY17Uq
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqr1jjazHh
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDidCA8hHtE
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCzkqQ5yGE
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJrRlDufZA
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bqqupTfCS
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGpcolhcp
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L2ZhwKvXv
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbOUx6BAM
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs15hQcbiP2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGcoS1Kk2
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEeFXsjJtG
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIIhuTMHMa
「Hall 2B？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGdk9kyqMn
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0KUAbDPjx
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」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zv1EICOCX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNCLCxrCWg
「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？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTcEfThZeO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMxOMoN9ic
我點點頭：「嗯。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDLEpM53aD
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZC8YR3SVt
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50TyyYwJet
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8AE2l4sDT
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzCwNzaLrg
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5GQbrq17s
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rRbYdenxd
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VAbmxACkE
「嘎——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2NYQyRfC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqK6LZP1EM
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZncfqFRpH
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfALQ3Tihtv
「呢度……！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSP1YZA184
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK533YLk9S
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBthnOuFmrO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8rxGawWOU
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……832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFMuqIddwy
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdNOpSC4fr
「咦？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLDeKSjUZ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmqgEDIFO
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUVmmpl2oT
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkCaBawAh4
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJEduaXuD9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNiisuiWO
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T7nFcIdb9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfJDP1lx6
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rSlWZbuOK
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiOc1sKYw2
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGzAa6duRC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0iTmd8L2l
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOzSIdTjiF
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFvKvUdjdF
「呢度係……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGI9R1k6D7
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW5KucDVRj
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhj4F8XH0p
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U7q2r55Lk
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJhCVTIqRX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoC0hnZWOi
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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop7ubZ9Aqv
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeCqg1DFRs
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo6IZNmZnC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Tu1wKa50
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozXDuc3mHi
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHCNPSTIU
就在那瞬間，我看到了。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy9HbrpNd1
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwulQ62HXk
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDhBUGuz9q
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadkgoIBHAi
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti9z2WvBFY
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlWOhYEvXM
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGiqJSVZIQ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FT4c97QsV
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？832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBC1xhQA5j
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxG8tLB0e2
「我地行呢邊。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEyBjCaZav
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C9EJrzoWm
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkAxdNRWE0
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqNL9J3HO
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogyCy0vKCo
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ776yOXSf3u
「嘎——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHKqmIB28I
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMZ38YhPr8
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rNuG1CXJT
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XViYzz0UU
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VtXJN4LOt
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCmeXcB1Ki
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOu3l84wCd
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zMJbNHS21
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGNQGLLdAC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF5qcvzKuO
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4qYMrPLgd
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCIvf88by8
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4gXpa1SiF
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg4geIyFMt
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxXLLLgGAL
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotVhLehwfi
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fGQGkJSM9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3NB6HCwEG
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5LEvY6UX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJmZ2Hzgx
但唯有那一句不變。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5xwnBG3ep
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZcbEdUEPy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWguEMGV37
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbzrNTzJy0
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection828ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMeGzFMHGo 尼
