愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qSO00Qqp3
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPFyJmigDV
但準確來說，是前攝影師。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSsVCx9AwR
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJl8oK2Wc9
「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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL5beWr4Vn
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzBKYBS9kT
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObaHWYqUzp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacEfXUYXVo
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXpWHH2FFK
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67hRMVmWvv
「好靚係唔係？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5NeQvjrMs
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmHNrowch2
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9qrrsAJHJ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZGTt9TR9d
「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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZz4txjuUk
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Emp8U90LU
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBWG1sZWJ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmgnDkNl3b
「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……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncUBcw9SLQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS5AfraT8j
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiREzGkqhZ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nxh4QLkqc
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2l4tY3Die
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyTvIPxpzH
「返去嘅理由…」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKM9EOTgXm
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RhjooBodY
「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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j78mUfMSL
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKWqA3qpz
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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNm0Ehkyq7
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1PK6BNIKq
「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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzJWpoS9M
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuG7QUeIJa
我心中一沉。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh7kDQMMD5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYGpwMeKY
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDY4prNXa3
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LpCF4N86l
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LOuKbmc1G
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJzU3j7ux
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVfz4lJcc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdmmbk7mrr
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqSto7YE0X
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFva2c0RjM
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGZWhQn2FV
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWovdvbMKVf
「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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5vooV5kS
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzkzb0K45B
「我始終想再睇多次。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWSnAzfZ5l
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDSkGLdSn
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFm2JhG0Gg
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS4AgEixVe
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyszZxTl7
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uXU4ea0Vf
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…？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKAf04483e
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcKcFR8Wyn
甚麼跟甚麼。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQG8sxe28n
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiMarHjAmw
「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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkvLL8mRp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nvvbj5jdq
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDjjiOlOjG
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbpVVzil5
「例如——」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcYaGrSKoa
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuU5ZoxOwf
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcrm7GWYBt
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB90x5VVpl8
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDVhEWw8Nv
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbnuEPPJAy
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDfCoZGghQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJgSf5Jx3
「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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ555OlM2Jx6
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6Mlaj9IG
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsMDS1iDd2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNctmauF8j
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaiAvKfR0q
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXi8eHKLx
「Hall 2B？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnONDew1pg4
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IeQyUBQ5G
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」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMhZaxGjpr
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBfox5HIQr
「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？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ebigOm9w
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1ld0uAQo
我點點頭：「嗯。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKL3Avwq8H
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE1T7Gq80d
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq57AZcL1QF
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCGDIDaRsv
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZucOeoVMk
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMa2YRVBrS
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ufuBleIC
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPadyyYKHYK
「嘎——」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdcSeSQ1h0
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSutyGLSG
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！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYONOFW1I
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w273fXkYS
「呢度……！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJa7bcjj2t
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtr1vKHxVo
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMcO2UwQy
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLeVTJvsrQ
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……487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPsMDHs70
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvklwKByUh
「咦？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIMzEg1B2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSjySsmyxP
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwOnMIbKKA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4suzNNOqu
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdldEMo2ig
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gjHLceNe
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKUqTchYPc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuYji4feI7
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpywC7Xk4JO
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6clARSIMNB
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DaCUuUDQ4
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAINOZwfmGh
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6bcgp2MtZ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdBeUxKIT
「呢度係……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSAtzL0M8
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFZoJYK3S
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR9qH4ueAu
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzXfrLIypM
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeV6PJUz8E
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvRNL9i20
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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3oHV5inx5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lb8Sm0j9H
「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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7F9WDXSay
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0DTCknPGo
「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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4aR07TDAI
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFXmQXhN2g
就在那瞬間，我看到了。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPMFkcVUSA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p5ekxZpkQ
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！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9QnIGrP2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xKGbxRXmp
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LBuAr8UiR
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArfIPHThSN
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpk9DnofcQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZFYLixbd1
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？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQtI5DKMYW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0HKjwsXUG
「我地行呢邊。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0CmITjPW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7NFmzaGez
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcDzjKCSi
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoYB2nj8MN
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！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxaNX1kPQa
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbMjSKvTWT
「嘎——」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7m52kZmG9
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmVOD7w6VX
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！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfOK2LWjPX
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypdU2OGDO
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx496eNlPDW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHn4fnHdps
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qHroQNPBj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3oXcdRx3w
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLctOjpvIGx
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmo5QzmBV0
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDioHYua2K
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDoZfJN43
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoefAz4RHm
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmPfBJODS
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIpmidEzlA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgRtzHAsx5
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIr9s3qvZl
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZM6Z1mVW
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3apSxVhzJb
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZMEsY9WZS
但唯有那一句不變。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiiqoyiGEN
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72XwknPbH
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CPeiQylDo
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycngd4pDdI
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection483ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EN6eeT0bx 維尼
