「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqk0DBMAEe
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkyCu34mRQ
「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1QXdAgFaM
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wj6m5iGE8
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ1hiSKDpY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4bm2YGCcM
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKd7gVpLyI
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ejATkUrY
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgwJ22wcRz
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvXUZUpkAi
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfXd537oN3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ0Yj2w7jo
卻使我心頭一震！203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWSpIVegr
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcxWRc3ief
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLxO0uVD3k
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk4vgnzIPL
甚麼解鈴之人。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp2uBdH83W
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLxkeRDaX
「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJCSf3cYJM
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaP5MYva9m
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVifsC8PvRG
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7eLiaicg2
「我無。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRpcvzvFwF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD5eByCpwI
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HAq8Xh3oj
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH7QsVowwI
「鈴兒……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkadDxiCO
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtFowc9pJx
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c17jsFsTN
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGetXReXGZ
「你真係無事？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3S9yzozA
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BjVDRSCaF
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWmgo3ET0R
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjAFYcOUoK
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI246gFjD5
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4eN4n5zfe
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIyc43RGMc
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qSpSH3yOB
「明……明白。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXvFiylOXZ
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ620jLmEmus
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！203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ijYVLtaa
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnXaKfj8b
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UwnGj6dry
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUivKTPJk8C
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV1Mo5dx67
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnx6WC1syy
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjJh54XPcY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRH3Pffqdx
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmILXnnBDyn
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rKK2BcO2x
「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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtaEcpdkzh
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirWqz5KYuc
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYTyg02naa
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uf2MlMwxl
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEGlz59M2N
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5L4qw5ZHP
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWFxEHuOR9
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKETOcuoBNJ
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FZjQutzA6
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxszBveszv
「好。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKrTLbnpDB
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10BYOkZ3YQ
沙漏中的沙被停下。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OrqTYOnUw
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNC7yTXCbw
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPVRzJ30Rb
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A2FhntQdX
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S9HzVeW4X
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7ISdWfGO
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCJDcRgics
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUCbJtdl5l
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8zuYyev2j
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX4sypKsxy
「呃……呃……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6nQgD3X8
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiBpA5XH9P
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBcu08ukAq
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJxssrjKx1
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hCkqBsznG
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQPuyieeYm
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP665m6GSut
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BC0YUzWmo
「……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SsR5AJ6gE
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj31RE4q3e
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoF7IyD3YY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtdAUH47gf
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfdTDcKJcB
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUqBOuR7VR
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80YdOyruTO
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhfib1Opy
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡambDbCapUT
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJq7adeNE
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEILV3xDiH
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtxAPa5qG
假如鈴兒是錯的。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rmMGhWb7H
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNmSfgef8g
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6OapfMGf
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQV4AnVPss
「……你咩意思？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkEOYHWxv
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWCFEmYo9x
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AO4Y05bj0
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KX60MlJT
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0WM2Jm5Um
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ku3qRI3c
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDheQH5nQK
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eQk2wVlLP
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sIll8gQk
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroV5UG0E3R
「阡迴之門？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfIIZUs0YF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSvaYV5lYs
「跟我嚟。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoZrpJkLTg
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2yCDAIuWa
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7kD4KX3nV
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIsbkoXFAX
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUx926ZEWV
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmsjwzdr44
「叮…叮……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjETWWuRSMW
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsuvrZwyO9
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3zAa5Iph3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxnTVWfjW
「就會咁。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLvys6t2Hz
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HPgLf1xmk
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqOBaUied7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwOmsVKdB
「係阡迴旅館？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDZyWJgRlE
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wihbnrnbt
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hj2nCvxd3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748RpCay4W
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4nTpDV6VF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PezYc744K
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg97diYSB4g
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMpSYDAflK
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy1H8yrhpY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo0hEdb4zy
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb32xOtnPM
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue2s1RYQ3t
沒有回去常世的未來。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHU0KXIu7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3gOgrTN5B
「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！」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUNoBGOPMY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwRk754Ug
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVujAGJ4L4g
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuF5oml8qT
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyiSJY4KvE
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjssqgI6LYk
可是，卻——203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AJ4blZBz8
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnmokgz4u
「無。」鈴兒說。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ipy7bshj
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWeRRbfPRd
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGsnuAA2HV
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpwExLppN7
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2MDe0SD5X
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GpksCiH0d
「真心咩……」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmeki0KMEd
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvg7eNvunr
「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYs4RyiyF1
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcT8jumWCz
我一時間答不出來。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrhZ8I7CXh
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ksPxJYU6
回家？當然了，我想回家。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVvHilKieJ
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmh7KwCi0V
但之後呢？203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwuzZMYSC
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNyJKeNGz2
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？203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaPloZ2XiM
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEvWL6kHNx
我甚麼也不會成為的。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjQ0XEWTDU
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFjJVKF2A
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？203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga6tzVVXfz
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQLYLbiJTS
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZ9OKyfdo
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YI3OGzWjw
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67r3c8xjYg
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnEJWLjzxe
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm17VqEnq4d
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgoT9yqewc
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJjkEoAZKK
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswIWWfPk8t
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrODjDIZla
