愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAIiWevHjk
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88NFY9u0n2
但準確來說，是前攝影師。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIPS1DqKz8
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXnEqIlDa
「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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPfap6nA8d
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FKsPYXqsZ
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcMDjGdSp
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01uKEyyic
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEJ3xxR1TA
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNROggbookQ
「好靚係唔係？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlByYQCxYt
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfPbVCMbLE
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0rUUbJ0f2
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsno2CPldqZ
「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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVaypkbIi
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8THY5nc1D
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiDyISwQDT
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HYUbN3QfO
「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……」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtizxKb9A
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW7bSSnr2M
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmu4za8mLq
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ek3mwGYk
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp5qGSnvi6
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4CZ59VZN
「返去嘅理由…」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSkEX9yw6p
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgymIgOGHLY
「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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7U7YTpYj
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9EWuuTbLC
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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA2YIhd0xN
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ZkTvc2m5
「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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyfZ5sfvDb
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDXuHgFOjw
我心中一沉。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOESIYmCN
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPNhNGa8H2
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5OTEbXbVl
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Xle4R0ZD
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRx7vHSG7z
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbdkDhDdVM
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHtZj7vcPI
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpln5bDfDge
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66GqnMVTJ0
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvANOQX6dmQ
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTkg8Gp3a
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQUJpubi4E
「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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoT2YXTTs3
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iUqElixm8
「我始終想再睇多次。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkRFFF42FD
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzWZDcB7Tn
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXDRlAjsO
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZIUdea0EO
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrsUcJrB8E
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf52lLR7iO
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…？889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpScCaQFkZ6
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ugb0FGI8N
甚麼跟甚麼。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww7pEpikUW
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLILU8LmJxO
「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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwI9lLxmqf
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSptilMhYbY
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwYqBMDgCX
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8mMFH7UYl
「例如——」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdkYyof9wy
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE0Wjp8Cil
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzyBzwxHu0
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2bK79DQG5
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuWbLurAtP
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlV60jeiWS
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7zi6YnCXJ
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjownkTyd
「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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyj9Kg1Gum
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6NdEp8anG
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGbQuLwCV
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBt70t1GmZ
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo0MY5CSBS
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlg5zvJfN
「Hall 2B？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYMtjQbtpP
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkUTgDUckw
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」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdag0iPomer
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85xLrMGxmA
「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？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMoXdYD6N
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMawdK7NLl
我點點頭：「嗯。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ821fs5mvp9
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrZAmipLej
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vduPfY8kM
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNVU72gl5
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEUjXVkAyT
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE297AHptc1
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMk8giQ0ep
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PVuKIzJO9
「嘎——」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NL6vLq6w5
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd5pfiKqin
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！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnZHJ15hjN
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFkqrOfFUi
「呢度……！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsNhBE5w22
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcdvWJSDXm
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3zlTNnR3u
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDgqQqjaJ3
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……889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUnYTlO4G
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQimpptKWY
「咦？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjet31U8ME
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhOsjfnc0
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IszvgQBa7
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjngeCPDI2z
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrSibkr9P
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ilXTqsdHg
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj9lVRGUuH
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQTKjIIxHh
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbjqgFrKr
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePE4POCMRU
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSUgfrTk3o
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrSRQB8PKY
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrVV8XAVRs
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOvYipxB30
「呢度係……」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHbcHd227O
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIQXDKFnBs
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWojjXmS4qg
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH2XyeumQy
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNkbJqLFJK
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwiUNQfIo
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。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFBURq9omi
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqgjJkWEnE
「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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSt7KGlkTI
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIA2E3ZVY4
「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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0EAN3G9Vu
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL5MhSR7qI
就在那瞬間，我看到了。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EUF8sxrlZ
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0qoIKYF1b
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！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqipzUsmEu
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnup2MtEhsn
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLI0vmJ0Ft
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2M0yGYmLE
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbFOglfKAk
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ojVvtaSxL
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？889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaV4ypMQ9c
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznyFm78ZbE
「我地行呢邊。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyaNWsFs1O
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvIIM4aU7
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlY97QA62P
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgpZ3jEnX
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！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf7cGqlkyn
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqtIXyN67X
「嘎——」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfdNtAj907
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqr6T463Zu
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！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gdbBe81Ox
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dSYBOXBsY
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD1FY21cNw
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwt0TZS10C
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbfPjmjh82
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2PvhqHa22
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC3ZcHRa8h
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk5KZmBOaM
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgRvz8t05W
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFRrL9H0NQ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38jifn1T0
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuymCkoSlxB
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9e8mEZCcy
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk2berZ0Ga
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWjKuOgKZU
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLPhoVRqXb
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。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCS0R18lu
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAg53A64NM
但唯有那一句不變。889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5snkcaAdt
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaAZSmvxRe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0QSCMZEoE
889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXXrOPJh2U
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection885ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPTDCVN4H 尼
