愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuKsyhtRne
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmho9SyQKS
但準確來說，是前攝影師。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qIRyeNW4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefKfOtiOg
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QU5BZ7ZKr
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKc4bNnsW1
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElLTaNMXT
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAiI3PX4Rw
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1c4ZhbbiL
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDl8FJm7oL
「好靚係唔係？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aOnpIAIZe
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSd1tWb2fo
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVm3xnKWtE
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqGUT1gPtg
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXW8tI72RL
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WGgCGcycg
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADWH6e15NS
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLgYIfTqZF
「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……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xntwmteP
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOS9FMp0b4
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVowlwrumx
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM8iszBRGU
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGnxFFJkOy
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCD8fe2k20
「返去嘅理由…」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90wi8A1TgF
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdkcEXoqx
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXwXhFfsU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu3dODw9rC
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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRYDPjBDGZ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SKlKDyeI
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHXXXcpOoU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwWsDftRDD
我心中一沉。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtltPEY4qjT
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv8ksBL95j
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFHftSOFp
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcsj1WN7fR
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDULYL2PJ5w
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcWh6g99v
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXwmRBeK9d
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NCn2irnhh
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINZw1xROLG
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOEfh75SQw
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfeBbKz85I
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrsKtU0XRQ
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapHxF1c9i4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVd0XESn1h
「我始終想再睇多次。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQk4ubE4Wc
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH8NRIuHSz
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflLsQEfOSA
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAYQAyvrpf
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80RfyoJvsP
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhLrJlNE1
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…？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnnfAmiSHM
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU4OxtuT56
甚麼跟甚麼。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2okonI3Skh
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFdO7iRBlx
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2rEceM05I
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou0Ne2LD9H
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0XJt6wju
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2MuiIibL
「例如——」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvfnNLdBXD
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WJ7HiBkqP
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliws3PaCFE
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOVQMB6Fl
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MMcwV4vYX
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDla7PWTsb5
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpJw8U1ZDg
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiuXjhntBa
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD8uYzuP4j
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZYGGd1C2A
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNMSfw3GVf
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1tKodeuOo
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31gcyNUh0U
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaxUV8H7nE
「Hall 2B？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspeJzSwiV1
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGAyYYF80a
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」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFz6UanC9M
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D3VjjEE6T
「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？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGLoPNu7Z
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4I10T4FZx
我點點頭：「嗯。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8vd0fixX0
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ViWK12K32
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JlnOGVs4V
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9FIekkuo4
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3SB6Mzdtp
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEai64K22b
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIE6YAkwHo
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYbRQu2MR
「嘎——」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a2Vtg9ji4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugQoxuhd5A
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！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk1ga2vqKh
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk9Xedius0
「呢度……！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ9KICJLX1
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wZKEOcGQ
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt4oX0BkCw
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cGnDnDqSH
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……696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBYTseQyXf
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtzB7tF81w
「咦？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowUiY0xSso
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLPLgGNlxx
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQknOUfa2
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKXL59IEw
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNGLNMPLl1
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF3HNrzHGk
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuiaLekimv
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXwQXemSIg
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DynGMu8S
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn38XnkewYZ
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVnI69XnP
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgq8G70HWd
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XFuamiSFJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiklFneghQ
「呢度係……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIWXj8tQko
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsR5VyIH7q
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBA0WZmtTU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbEcgx7Dfw
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYvbOKjMX6
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVTYzF3vGW
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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYinKKIjf6
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBSAmtxob0
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3IKThbgm
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVzmoxYWgV
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGucsmn8N1F
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡettY3VZYOX
就在那瞬間，我看到了。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ258bqYmsgJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCR136R7pR
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！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NuHbcwRjG
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdWQOIWFMO
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nkmp97wVu
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMTZemcOP
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfVqL3FpWV
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0CXHrYLWM
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？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINYhiq6EBf
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9FWwz2zie
「我地行呢邊。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d6RUIAkm0
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm06sCCeez
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU62SP6tdg
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7bhPLQXmi
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！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgi7ht19E0
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy3aISADUd
「嘎——」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UNRTJjmAp
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY852Zjkzx
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！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBba66T3vN
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3e2xQ7KTY
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3mFlZyF4g
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDEgH6cJHp
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWwbuzzKf
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXD0ZHpXNI
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtYkkQhzba
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo6KO67QvN
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0vgWZcjoh
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPdQWltmZH
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoaQrsFkud
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIo77zGgp4
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYNoIRLaQW
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrRDrYG5t
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtmvFgYPS
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6umeRoLDqr
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxc4gIFDYo
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tPLvWJhDH
但唯有那一句不變。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBFxbbZzU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcOjWDvoV
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaNBYJWlH1
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xfn5vl5B
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection692ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQrynlrdZl 尼
