「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PCV97nh09
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X1jSH8AQN
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDEluhv3a
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXAuNUNiu
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yle21kQkm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAP2Leghi0
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqELjH8Y3p
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIpSpmMQo
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2d6jflLqE
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4QLiaQjuG
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYwu9n0Hg7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rU3ehtFQB
卻使我心頭一震！256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsspifAeTX
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxMwQnQO6z
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt1VMoHr2L
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJupWY73DZ
甚麼解鈴之人。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtah6v9UfGa
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj54G5Vaej2
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKZsEIiqvI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTfUXmIQl
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82wpqshoH9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU0GSI1Wct
「我無。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VphqVwamk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAKJDk3XZO
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNlm8l5aBh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxvteqd7Bo
「鈴兒……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qA74UXiat
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmKdAmMiBY
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuURmTyoSJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDd2XcD9d
「你真係無事？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCrOQmxWkg
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6LHp5YQX
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYuMxJ6RRN
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl0Fx6xS0l
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2MVWiY4hj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaHU93rpf6
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIqZE08e01
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPDp7xIWeM
「明……明白。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXpyEtp78S
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIkRFZmZvf
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvJNjqJ6HJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtViolZQY6U
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNg0Rync2N
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5guxwu6ec
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHpF21dQp5
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG1oyRWU1C
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSNewbg7UN
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfu5Pv4Hr8
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVrqbu2q9T
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr3fqAJeSv
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweV0jfYCIQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqqILoInIj
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfwlrEDjf
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdQAvrz4YU
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ4sTnbtST
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAfXXNTqK
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUEqj9gaCf
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGqRSlGCf8
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmBKtkbnvR
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Qt1VsAE9
「好。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUssjdOWtZq
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmSgGgpR7R
沙漏中的沙被停下。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuMCA2LkfZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWXKCmZ0ai
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNlquU2125
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyGK4U84O
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcMh6mdVV7
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtJspmNAZG
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXXpiDg5wz
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8fBUyXyEz
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Xrudg231
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyvSHxYY9B
「呃……呃……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1JW0AopIQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ2ctSum3B
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWbJh6Hw6L
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CghxZxhsl
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvcF7iiRPH
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ORp2AVpg
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBbXENqJO
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdMocyVZm1
「……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOr6H1DvHQ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifbjOlT0o
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmR6cYTEy3
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguXSf2ztUQ
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGjwYJm6CL
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJRMBSyQEP
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSXQiTb0A0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgAe59vDl
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7jsFyntOg
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mEzA0vOET
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2kATzSNv
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMifEgg0X9
假如鈴兒是錯的。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX6nxwAihk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NOD21ss4p
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WxV752Rfm
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG9n8hSORB
「……你咩意思？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUsZNwTdR5
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBt0Cd4dtD
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWP4I6j8zZ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqllBYeRh39
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvyw7TAiBB
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucxF3GZ2h1
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvSTWhchPw
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQei6edxJK
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOBHq0gE2E
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfBlnYFeD
「阡迴之門？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYqgu2pYt3
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCDLHTn98
「跟我嚟。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDTtdqojhx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COAkjvlKB
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fBkABpCdp
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lnCVsmKGU
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3boCGCSkc
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSrNeWuBHJ
「叮…叮……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzerEI4w6cu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUecAFwVvB
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmdicEHPTx
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOixyt1OMa
「就會咁。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnIyg4KoA
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H904zEonr
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ewpa5I9Q
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXc0tQ7OOn
「係阡迴旅館？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A7D6dQwht
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUEiGZE6m
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK2ledSUk9
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfn29Joayt
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrrO6bd54
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWgpIZnYuX
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhClSdUCNnk
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NjNZjcv6f
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc5e1JVEzl
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQu57WOj0
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ZLs1zuA1
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0DtUJCUAO
沒有回去常世的未來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXjXHwaeS
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVvwH6l3k2
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyejZX6gP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvuqNMrxAP
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOMLFDCwXC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxClF26Pyy
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOnOCCIwD0
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae2eJFCnzO
可是，卻——256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliIkQjfjHn
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiPNHFVLI
「無。」鈴兒說。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwQO5RmYsG
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh8q3n1kFX
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gUbip2zda
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacwnVHNZWj
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HNW5G5Kgj
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hEH5Io6cH
「真心咩……」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhexe0ZrXI
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcxPraF1G
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWQipTLUuD
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQau7gXZPrz
我一時間答不出來。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgXXOrV4Iu
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTsXiRQky4
回家？當然了，我想回家。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2OOYZfbAe
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiscRM4T8h
但之後呢？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQSqbt9gTP
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0BYskU62d
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbh2Qawfwi
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSoC1u6Ph
我甚麼也不會成為的。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMN1ZRuHMh
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZOK7BLF21
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ46OJeC6l
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvuyKZSRnk
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbbwF0sMNC
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB8gLCv3YB
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPGBDZ4W5
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFJO5pRKfn
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbLBmWPcr6
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre6UmAGIEq
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOHU89i7DJ
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBax101PU3m
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscVj5ZLbjB
