愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHiR7Z1Fzr
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtY8BioMVP
但準確來說，是前攝影師。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmpjBQXR0I
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkiLMSC89R
「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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNUP5hcWTE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjPgaj0Uo
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYDXsi6gmM
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFu1Xbpvj
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyNWqONdDO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodu25wooPe
「好靚係唔係？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbTOYlwgJY
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdytMQPsPv
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLUDPIt4eU
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghX5QsJ4za
「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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92yA5Vqv0f
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEfic8Nc6B
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBgNOfK7Qn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQA2DmSwPX
「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……」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWGcvSAXF4
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRqgMP62K
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkViFOC5PsQ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKIPZnep3B
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdyEeFk7oh
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaJofguWBG
「返去嘅理由…」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvFdrZ2cFb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBfPgxGGWK
「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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFh1IhPn16
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqnYDGUYbn
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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDYBPYPqEv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCftcyUita
「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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20QqDe4PK
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVn1ocVyBM
我心中一沉。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4CGP50iYb
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq7O4st4my
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmzUGapImE
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FbCnK5i5w
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVfPqnK80y
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPomJishH3k
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIvsXvRmv1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohV9bVbu5Q
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3npRSUdicG
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudJtcxgnn
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6tgt7CoIn
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7T4yNmSw0
「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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkT17S0x6y
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPPMXRrXeM
「我始終想再睇多次。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIEimOs6B
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3mi5Dm7pY
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw9eFJUDOO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ48wOwVkc
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ME3NTjqaS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEJGgB6yvR
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…？890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzlYj08wxo
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRzVatxWde
甚麼跟甚麼。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItac9yQfoH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLZA1Y18P1
「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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrL3VO9jS
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrDDFjZzjW
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UkCRdWyL6
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbJCCS0Rwe
「例如——」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwXiziooSh
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXski7syhJs
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYYa6SpSu
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sIS2stlJW
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJwo0JjAw
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSEBgioBVP
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ449Z2h1Fqf
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69pFbo3iyl
「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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZVkwY5cUH
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA52jq7DjNW
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMrRwhvTl0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJtu4TxiLy
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZHnOHGFFi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQ6cvClr1
「Hall 2B？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzWIFR9HIa
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw7pgiGhtw
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」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2gyAUvwN
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8K1FzMBoe
「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？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHIJw4DlP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kq6tUeNOQ
我點點頭：「嗯。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlMCDxObyN
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbFqb4wbsB
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8IcUKmNxj
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUfsZ2OjUS
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcV5KJ3Z70
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1de1wt1PPm
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Yqf0fMzP
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaU61OZwf
「嘎——」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwH9etpoxV
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyfFBdsPwG
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！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DybWmcHJi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB8IP9YmlG
「呢度……！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2VQCyLFi
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57QOquLkH4
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujHkbA824e
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyazXrIfAl
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……890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB0jiwXtxD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvA7oEenI2
「咦？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgn7zPcrz0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCyyKQ4aA8
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx63KU9FX1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2tJzAZT7
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQyt2N65X
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3qUerfJpi
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xgHH5MH3z
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mD3YH09IF
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7rUvcZ3c
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkIDPWvMSV
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuds8v4c9q3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFVDkZyG14
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EDt9ynyFa
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6giNz7Gap
「呢度係……」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWTWOkIVC1
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRloL03LRBk
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwkW6TuiOD
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTAa5IvIra
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiKKkL0k2
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAousX4z1zn
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。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvHkQgizIr
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2UFFMzdib
「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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH9j61qlS9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bwAc28C6U
「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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtnxOUf59
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrnbVaiJzT
就在那瞬間，我看到了。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS2dpCV9u3
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthd6fVKZSA
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！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iyUeD6Vt
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGsJRqaEPD
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QmG9aEiV
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtmzaONzIk
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk54MqcS1Wc
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7H4J2EFlB
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？890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeML0hi0it
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jhlqaHcw8
「我地行呢邊。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAxCpeVHWf
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdREusYtp6
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBMSKzjGZy
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMGgXSilO
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！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVwnoptmZ
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbZbUeCs0g
「嘎——」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkG08R52NO
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmTjrz1MV
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！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmlEGfTESl
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHKyLMmE7l
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H1UOG08Qg
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKBcGGEZnr
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFahx60e6x
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNbvz8081j
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT0DvBrUY9
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe7L3lYPy3
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ592AKzVzhz
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xkV9R8Oxl
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTppCycBds
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP75XkKBKMu
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNp6SAj9H0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4yCli7rou
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1Lf8IED0
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUdhrpoYxi
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。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pRPI5PiWz
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUgMFhJfNd
但唯有那一句不變。890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8aDDbQkv
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquOdgdzacy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T3Zs0uMmx
890Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uGswaGrFS
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection886ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V8MTB1MY6 尼
