愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt48WHr9fq
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJU2PBVICA
但準確來說，是前攝影師。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIn2e10DK
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83DxNWiVuq
「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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yBpXhJEo6
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MyMnQquyK
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKYoReNHJ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyM7nYbIth
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U6tRqfkcx
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPq5POVRJh
「好靚係唔係？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLGKZANtwN
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQo5bCIaa3
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvdtxIV1Oa
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnynZUVvE8
「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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN8zgpj0tg
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O7WWTJWrx
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Hx9QnwrD
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCytJKEKzqW
「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……」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9GLgtGXqW
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A5Jb6DGe8
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn98udJx1U
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjZigDqHp
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrck6DRKtLQ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpOkeQcrGS
「返去嘅理由…」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsRcCCnwp
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNM2MUQHMA
「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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xWn2vGIEr
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6kIrqAuN
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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlMPsVJwvm
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRjDbxut6S
「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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2LxVubLm
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwj9wcyVgK
我心中一沉。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3gj7qtHJo
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w2UGjuZLX
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ywCMMRRcd
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu08vBQQNfv
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIO7bfmqZS
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDAnsh6h9
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVPj1yQWNK
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvYfbv6wrh
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjfDlmhcbY
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNlBVeG7jU
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcTzJXKa46
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMq6yFTIrj
「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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN28NMm4kQ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVW1PktXT
「我始終想再睇多次。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdWkY0ohmT
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT8kxsEVbY
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw4bRxdsAa
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kZhvXHptY
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVc8unHDmm
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqBHkiELG9
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…？823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqabC7OsNU
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlAVV7iooS
甚麼跟甚麼。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbvct2p9or
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcfSBnWFea
「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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlieInXEYQ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmr4fuTdqZ
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7NL9nt4o8
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4IKxa0syk
「例如——」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tb5AFstUL
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51m6dxRRie
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1jIi1Jv9o
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbW6iJXwXi
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpi0ej8SuB
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLOgabafw
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNKJxo5mZS
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrEfERqDi1
「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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNyxLmh49
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjxpuJJ0oB
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHoN2XYPiA
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqWOdm7dH
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkyYVaVl5k
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbvuMAqG7
「Hall 2B？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvSxxLAAsM
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79wEiLoH2
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」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tayqP7Eg
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLAorLyFlS
「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？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUSgDRQr8K
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVqQTJrbI
我點點頭：「嗯。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaRp3vbikh
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexYtbyP1aI
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ZOJsc0u6
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ6455qDNm
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsPzE7YpX8
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3ZK7fhY2
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgq62PPoCz
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz35qosnQX
「嘎——」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkLqfUJ7to
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopUCpgB2eC
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！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMtx60bLU
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IC74H2Zwu
「呢度……！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuLuJkIgD
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPTxpRaoHg
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1W6LJNG7T
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlFTF4PkZx
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……823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKkpUdPvrS
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppeLOpI81f
「咦？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFiFu1du5B
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqarmaezm5
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmDpig6QhX
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjCFSasIP3
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7GjZWfezO
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJaiMBQWD
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDyi17qSJ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2cF9aBZgg
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77mDGDadI0
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSY5ngSTSQ
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZPbwQj0ar
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65V6dFG6gW
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnLzDAOeC0
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17xNewqfLX
「呢度係……」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgecrm8hHS
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HJWp7tNRa
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHMDSnPaL
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8614zHoEV
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQsGhArYGU
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjcrqlcYtm
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。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8eeKxidsL
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbFrrGlr1v
「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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHpzNe4aoL
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfrC1auDsi
「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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ztTsxIQE8
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppipukhTnU
就在那瞬間，我看到了。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wpd17L92N
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHK0zkcCDs
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！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw0YW9XjjJ
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93CFJ54Yjf
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6YJs5r5jY
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5u8K2sXU9
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS90Jsbqav
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Uf6fdmsd
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？823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4P5Y9AWPB
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylMeWVOOmH
「我地行呢邊。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPzze2xv9N
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIXFX5bau4
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsrl1B6V8a
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjsUrS1Bwg
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！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR9FyQa6dT
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE2CmmFcfd
「嘎——」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6npcfSZl6
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3yEz9VMV
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！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxml4QoEBU
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLacsvmrUn
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSOIXPwRl7
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWETjLy5kl
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuAUzstyzg
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUvzfwcLBp
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OyaEmRbv4
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXYWeSttc
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXQzutr9Nh
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0s2s9CPt
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidadwEK5aB
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcHVLdDKT
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05GzNzVjIf
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM5rnjaJ0x
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOZG62expT
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Q45EwA7H
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。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE08syaUQOf
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLqlQGjj1A
但唯有那一句不變。823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLTah9ivNI
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7iS1OgYDg
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91Ue8oNBO
823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NiNeLrVpm
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection819ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXipcfsW3r 尼
