愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQddENn684
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaR9nrpQe4
但準確來說，是前攝影師。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsHWg3oZsS
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7EE21yrZi
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j8WhxbNDH
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20VSCtQJK
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrreGJsBPw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1IRa3l9TB
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfNO1bg7kZ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o20s32q0F
「好靚係唔係？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8b0RoQOGw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeGxCs3Pp3
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GIv4JuF5i
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUuhbERBDk
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfqdOwi7a
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUyNyEj34x
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MfESj8QF
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGEo2twee
「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……」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisH7JIJNGG
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLGjsJY8r1
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRUHNmhgrY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDP487y8NE
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVV5TBu1qD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4jhqTEcGx
「返去嘅理由…」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NIlsx3juD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VPi1ivGBQ
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCs1lJw1Ij
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0nlSiK6wf
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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPW62dD8ZI
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5h7spZFep
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknmuDOVvE
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH75PadDHq
我心中一沉。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8JE7A672
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOmFXHvKud
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbLTZE7za
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CIXCbnjUr
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKICKfHP55
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4d7TrciDw
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ZMf415nu
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguMJhsnHgH
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5aQ4LjUnz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ27l7LHHOk
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEGvUkDGwM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrra7kXOtY
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM90S7fvno
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3lsvEvYTr
「我始終想再睇多次。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlCKz9qLJi
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TwAcKCxrJ
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTue0GOq7
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1vIhzOy8
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHvvV2yAnF
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd22u9b6h4
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…？853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUTnkFqxN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPeY0KErwk
甚麼跟甚麼。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGeUyXixx
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaOls3uewN
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdS7ioxwq1
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQBBwlNDSe
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMujK2Q15n
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhhJ26FGWP
「例如——」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb8KQgGLVH
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuHVKwfGuY
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvuiIMKjQo
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwEggzR7A
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHcjK3Zub
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAZ37fvYVn
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7y5fBz16w
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Y9EsAPQh
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1wYTUTZ0I
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm6Q24c3VV
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDlqhghEYv
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2siM2DaMQg
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31tNt54aM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNwWzuMGBA
「Hall 2B？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxh89obJVX
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8AMPeyDTz
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」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITH9R1rNYw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoAAYajuUJ
「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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttY3XsuZS
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAidlu665n
我點點頭：「嗯。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3THmO1yyL
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywj45CNXd
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wxp4n3TRC
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCsBxOaoH
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7X7T55f8n
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHdFLTTTcV
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomBorlTp2b
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPNJUT1axe
「嘎——」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfbdxJS98Y
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfCR1bpG71
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！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqKsbAH4YJ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8bhT3M2Tg
「呢度……！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36CviTYj8
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDfRD4zgib
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa94y2SGV0D
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkfHRwtPL6
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……853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStzx7Vp0ua
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBMNey1sy
「咦？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSdW3Y5zWx
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LF6kfaGRP
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9D9SpFVr
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCTuDY4JvH
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFJOElMNF
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYQ0BrJeBe
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qOLSdT3U
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZoxbxROM
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz7e5Jh3IW
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4l1QAHDi
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2kvFwtQ1x
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nbETfjiI
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7RtwgyS5M
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ZpCQTn5L
「呢度係……」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vzmcwb5KK
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0XhH3CFm
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fd5Za9lpz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9ELIcSnl
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Ht4VRYqv
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNSgfdayB
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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfw6HdeA0U
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADmrphgpIh
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqCmze9xxx
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vCzbN3gS
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQdrTtYtEF
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTlxv1JreC
就在那瞬間，我看到了。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L8ElBQrLH
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4919Uj827v
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！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8jyuhv3lW
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVscHQ7mZJ
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjrPFILp1
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WqYk0nKCp
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cfV6s71RI
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrq0THffxm
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？853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4ZikiOXT
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQDNsL7X9L
「我地行呢邊。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWL9Gl22TY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9M1YmXPLx
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOlJK4jCbe
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrzpTvvSzZ
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！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlOwW3m88Z
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgin3pYFwdY
「嘎——」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7kc4M0D0j
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rdxQyaQXg
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！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1akyr8Ocs
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdPwyeESee
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDOr6j6uKO
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIKitN3dMl
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNG0UkFqgM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh4qtnA4Ig
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LeEUfkwz7
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL28Veo27Jy
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnphmPT0Ub
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX434GEDnBr
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhAdkhgUTG
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr2eSTn7bA
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCRtPebqN2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Gl0m8vn0
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkBuSPZXt9
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoHbLtTWkR
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezDKMfXb5F
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUge2HTx3
但唯有那一句不變。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgWcx0v3Lk
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3jgXmI3oO
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axtXAgzGQ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoM2uZsUub
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection849ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVoYwD7LSu 尼
