愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb1sjUv9hw
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVopYSuZnK
但準確來說，是前攝影師。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKr1saAMWQ
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApwiZnshVS
「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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPSmvg6T6L
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mokiTAe2p
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCjJxpqXCk
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kSdtnEAua
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgv5hjYl0o
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPn4SRiqeY
「好靚係唔係？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA87F1S0Rq3
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDPLExNzY
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PGeabhh0G
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYa2331OMJ
「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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ElK3pI8x
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLVMtPKZAu
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPRr2Vr0U
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N7hFkVRt9
「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……」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfX2JksBWX
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy7k5KiV6E
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h1Ln6stfB
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd3NKBWJXD
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LUylHEx9
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPqVnIfjl
「返去嘅理由…」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS764Y9m3nL
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6dj4I2jvc
「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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwjYBBIPQI
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UNhY2jLjP
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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYfh759Xy7
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u8hIEPfh9
「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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSanFniYS5F
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxY6vvxcnf
我心中一沉。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P02P6JYhE
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeRdfeawr9
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AZk0jh5M3
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gQyCKKvSB
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrjMKcssDc
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6GzjTAONK
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZLlOWyuq
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02upGwGBZ
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIXSJXIwPn
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr1pUDezaq
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEU1VOXOG1
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp9gpOdNwl
「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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TI37DGvZW
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtcoiFAv91
「我始終想再睇多次。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PyJfaHi2w
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLpJYvyrfm
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMjzvKxeG
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAaSPvTLUK
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbyY3cG8du
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedGTpr7C7
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…？852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQZcf56ZQ
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFQbPEDoo
甚麼跟甚麼。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqoAJ4yxVh
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfhbS9Hfi2
「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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5J9rgwcAb
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmM9ObjIWk
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCD29tgFJe
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMXxaiUvYf
「例如——」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfaymnpth
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvly2DecMV
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOFTwhoej3
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeaGYoAUgF
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf0Ah2UGxd
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8RU43bPV7
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0LUAkjwQe
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeBp5qewPN
「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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvlgeUkjl
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvBxWkwOyC
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtRmISyciT
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHHRLljcew
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLyvi5tyhl
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbpIAGakFv
「Hall 2B？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkKHkUzU3C
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFcdDNRnjb
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」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XQpFGGwDH
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQCtKwCNzF
「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？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlj6L79jDc
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9aj9R1Dgy
我點點頭：「嗯。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHmUXHhPZr
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEYiDGPqOz
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuntsgjjUeG
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquncrCg0Wk
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm02mKHzz5
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qrf00ou7
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdPoTARET
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpCid4dWF8
「嘎——」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhwF9QOrDx
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERC48aU7IR
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！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXLB6E2hUh
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HxdjMp6j
「呢度……！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJCEFBoSYs
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ864ugxmQ4o
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfa12mO4o
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7iLtU9SZL
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……852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDt9MiSqt
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy4aJkbzsj
「咦？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvghHwdJOX
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARU0yo8O5V
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK5mHzYjsD
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQEoxHca8r
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUFGqG5znB
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtojI229H7
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SS9bC96Ox
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2vIfoQCuG
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8GjAjOLgU
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0WpVAULHQ
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9DEQvjrj
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAlFltPpiS
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcDCaAYAOh
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfsZ2DQflf
「呢度係……」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGugVqh3yO
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3cti5gOf
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KmQQdd8H
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bOD8eyPU
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg9Z6HGRvp
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8sCR8z3s5
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。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5YlcEAoZG
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rG0y61stO
「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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yDd01ITVW
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWg1qSiy6G
「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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zUbES7l0
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynPrxoKFms
就在那瞬間，我看到了。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Y6pu3qTx
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgursWMpydZ
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！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz88QTvQZL
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVRPO4RQjl
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rygU6JRo9
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFUThR1bpx
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrvr2Qu7XK
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS0Id8GEPw
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？852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjBxkeTdH6
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyWaPt2oKA
「我地行呢邊。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJnPqVk45g
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYh08pdt7H
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSq7OLTSkA
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yw96SQPpu
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！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GO6vJ0am9
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGS9TT17ck
「嘎——」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZjMYlFqw7
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtx4GUWRxK
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！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgQXHEbrnJ
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13XQtN3cBF
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT00xkgVGz
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu49fZtPtd
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh4rUYpTg4
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudV2QRUKe8
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6eFdVNJE
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvdfatpJgC
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS7yqtlAM9
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOGlQVotdH
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ221FcMM8sY
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SdJp3Mrou
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gyq2rlfeO
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlFoAS92v
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP586pE3Wgh
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0udZvApVUm
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。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq90DA2lJaV
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZF9rYXwxq
但唯有那一句不變。852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8KZ1qcFu
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7l5nukPKD
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVZfWHTfi
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z8Q1oELOC
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection848ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoToKalsp7 尼
