愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6IRulK88
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEly1qoPM5A
但準確來說，是前攝影師。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg2TGhrWu2
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1egPP5m1NP
「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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaAuS6IuML
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmWnICstuz
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbpMrGea70
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufGuszFNC1
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYi11Nk1QQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRheeGTWOQ
「好靚係唔係？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyx6phsGh1
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYOtZfNnTV
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJbRjggaWX
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqKyCWzcrU
「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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlSfcFO46F
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNR6BbqCRw
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv06WYAzjO
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBgYUGKDmN
「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……」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DVgTZV8Oj
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf4Xug142P
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsT5CQVQHt
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GfCe0Ah1
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ1WtmvDz1
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGODlCL3kcK
「返去嘅理由…」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNmDKI6HQT
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWJuuMV4tV
「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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEsFVKGPz
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JM8Fu0Hbo
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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxQOVjuGPn
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKnjWQZDFt
「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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFmlupDTw4
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcptomR165e
我心中一沉。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXOzMCf1k7
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP7ljZVF0e
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc19A98k1U
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqMMiWk7o
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdrvQsgwkm
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6adhSOrTk
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx7rWjgIBr
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9xdENmWc4
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKTNatGbKU
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxqjNl6X36
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCiEYC66Mu
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W5wf8kGwQ
「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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxsM31n2HY
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz6RL41h9e
「我始終想再睇多次。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX4WdoDMDJ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4zQsbE4Qr
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCQIINS7DX
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUf8aeihcI
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJFJqVPjzt
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsZzPSDpEe
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…？824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKycmKqHTL
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3wPqF2k0
甚麼跟甚麼。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrubx79TV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf8vCDVCeg
「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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI65FHmAsEw
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4B2247JE4
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaWpdnxiJ1
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXigEGEJSkZ
「例如——」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGjzSoxY65
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHBkFy2n9C
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQHsQbOPlG
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyKtn6es8t
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP1sPXpWlm
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJG2fkzFt
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPQops3lvY
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDz96SBMBC
「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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87lsnbzCX
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3mLQuiYUA
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrJAPoEaSE
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaCOORldba
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRc0hYnyqy
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1cY3bYLd
「Hall 2B？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGxSiQlG6o
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phFhqKsTF
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」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfqGbKuaMC
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNqDpgHnK
「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？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70sXjhRoFv
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqd5iZmSxn
我點點頭：「嗯。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ssQHjD8O
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2lDqi0MoF
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fj5PWhiti
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5TNU4h7T5
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqulc5mdyD
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29XsQS3D3n
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkgkWXsOQc
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJZKPWeszX
「嘎——」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ5WpemJss
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvugwqC040b
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！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74erVoGnVd
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjxXcpgqaG
「呢度……！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdxXPeACbP
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWB3IyKykB
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0cRErO5p
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvOT8YTlCe
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……824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWofw0Uwp9J
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qDa6NQbYu
「咦？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YCh4v5PU9
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dwmQudB4x
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVSaZ3rfW
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8i0gSw8X
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jSXoat0m
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd1yt3iPNA
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHePVAwgWa
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwazeQNACR
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbC1YQfRHZ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zRbua8178
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7YoYILRkK
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwgnJZuJS
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrZ03cB7Ea
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO7QGk5OUF
「呢度係……」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aTk3kX2c6
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQV9ebWL2
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQt6rYarJG
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHVR8gr6EV
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV7tOrBvLi
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMjdGa8pI6
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。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Gkoqz7ZK
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B4yAKBi1E
「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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcMPiNnTCK
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxBCjZ5i2l
「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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo9kl97jWj
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPbjFE2k2s
就在那瞬間，我看到了。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NxjbXqOV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDl4UhHuX
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！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MCX8ZbfSQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhtzgZMviF
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLOVQoAs2U
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVkQ4Zyhd
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEpH043yW9
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn0YyqoNod
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？824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxvSk9zUvE
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1SP3NpZc
「我地行呢邊。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sdYhmEyt3
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfItkPrNkt
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7kq0BixxQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ALUt8DKK
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！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVcg8iBzNi
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVSEPfkPoZ
「嘎——」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRf54XlrpO
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzRl78DHok
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！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfHDKk1C2u
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE9D90PV8R
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VL6IyqJgQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EH7wsj60s
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4QNFakqe
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdu06jKXK
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkkJnO6WIL
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttKH7h6GUy
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHqhVrGjtw
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u946UpHSj
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHId3lK0P
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJkMCUlrh
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSA4wpxc74
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAtkfK0XMe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOXgySLBEm
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvosjcEyGL
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1xG2AqvpM
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWDiJCFBzG
但唯有那一句不變。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIPQP7JTax
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHrYo2ijuU
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01XvsbwcwM
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54nKX6WyG
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection820ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yzjRSqcZ 尼
