愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwabntv7AdC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS2QIxpqlT
但準確來說，是前攝影師。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbY4sgTAjP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXiuwss5L
「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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADyakCx3r8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspMagtUjtT
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydTHP4Fx8T
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNXWbEGRw1
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzUQAbfFEa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XOqEwJ5Rf
「好靚係唔係？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1utpeFPZZ4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxN5YW3N10
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJsvHhonIF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyaUBnJgCe
「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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0pDXOCkHB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT5YoIYcMI
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSoB8aCn1a
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7PqrkcYxR
「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……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0f4jmZNOB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmprEZ3zGs
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJrGIQFqkC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AeyvuEhIk
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7BeWCqTsl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD68VQAPu0G
「返去嘅理由…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKHBNqNZPr
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHbT5fM6Sq
「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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW1Ebq87vw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUcvVdqcq
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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLV0Mw0SJy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gdAFNgOgV
「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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5MQrH64OA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpluRAaXeP
我心中一沉。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpj6SHRLR0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE2ojssGgr
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomyWMyqZ7k
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk2nENBTD1
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLo1bLRpSc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDv95NBvek
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf2jDjXD3T
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny3QeDRZcx
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M11FcjIjH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmleK0mKNMl
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujjZpI0ufV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3EZcJZ9co
「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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZPaaLV6KW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKKqk1gjSS
「我始終想再睇多次。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvr2v6oJo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56p6ZhSBrC
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSCiZMhdn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0icyGRme
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefdG5jz0Bs
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP63WKGDTG
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…？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGXqMwbqgq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5qFmyjyo8
甚麼跟甚麼。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBGZqjdSG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3aVc5DBu0
「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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXM88rlIhK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGqO1VWb4z
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnTkyhV68
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyjg0MkT1F
「例如——」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmvnyzvqq4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQmV1zYJ0
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDauJ8JZDgk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22hxI5kLEf
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KenDSifPl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNY6xou9S3
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79B5jST4We
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7S4bNjsu
「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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LANOwHrzi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42QGrnB5a2
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmf6EZeT2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3F2ZrfEq8
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgiLkp9WkN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbZsJlm905
「Hall 2B？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny9MkJgitx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ669Lx3aD9h
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」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHzlvo7ip2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oYdN6S5N
「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？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3hWGmLnCN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSuNMLdvB
我點點頭：「嗯。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWWLVCjNLP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VbBmyTaAj
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9FDS8Yqgj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBth5AAeS
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ895406w6U5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKy1ZSkwf4
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6GXpFGXxL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH2UM4TXtM
「嘎——」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4i892p8rv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xWiSfDcOs
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！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ48qNcBb1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NIeLiYNAR
「呢度……！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeg3ZQ8mbN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdt3eawHzu
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSZzOYgDD2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N9RlOP77o
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……447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTfHWjZTXe
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacsuYOf98Z
「咦？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4YSdETcRL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmeldJzgvj
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5Pa2kRG4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLLhOqkuGL
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpe4PBqiTJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznGIrD2scm
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgN8KHcabk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDzvErklqF
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJApfB9IYTe
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMipTQ9QJN
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcVsrGoU2P
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQmg09cyv
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad9tIqKGHx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk8hsHiO08
「呢度係……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZVYOdI1j
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLMpiALQvo
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41h6ltESji
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEREVqSnC6
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg1lHBXGCy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5G8wrBzx
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。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kAcNA8npl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIwZkGLBCm
「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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSPVbtvFHf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8YGvUgiT0
「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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBTmo4cg6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF2XLJhzwR
就在那瞬間，我看到了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWnkjDLhC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfWxNeRsGv
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！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B17TqBS05
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhNfTfW1R5
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLnhWga2RZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpWS7X92eI
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvoxVOdzPh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVssxxstK7
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？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX8RiM8fBU
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXAMrDrkn6
「我地行呢邊。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5li2BeEm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsevMe29c4
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33b1mfnd37
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI5lL6BOFl
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！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGermjkW9
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVe5Kk0lDT
「嘎——」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCEBZJpQw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVqromf5PT
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！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98DvNvf6za
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzGqz42lKP
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjPCr9Zau1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MT6YFI2pj
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3F6pCxTlw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j9HT2L5pA
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZfN8pkqcH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfQLMJkRi
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DR621r1wg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oCYysOmc
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz5jPWfexX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi57BO3v7O
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbChaDix3U
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGhrKPVWNS
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAiLT5Hqq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2K72QbMyE
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。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSi6YiXHLO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0LMVR7auU
但唯有那一句不變。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEB6ul5uo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5SLXY27i8
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuSNGzcpRx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXyOBaGRT5
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection443ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXbS6SEJfe 維尼
