「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsG5wuZMIJ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBlT0zn7e
「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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt7xRCyBVV
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNgCY5Kpph
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkEiNg0yTL
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvMHker3Y5
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrtssfqkQ2
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd2lG5rvNK
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO61QYNfywo
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNFNGJMmV
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVUYBRkWe6
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9KzhVh0b
卻使我心頭一震！238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gHkWCv1e7
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPI9xv4iz4
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrcBCLdKLd
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1HQ0y3He
甚麼解鈴之人。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2AOhJpBk0
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHUkpVvJHc
「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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88hWe5DSRM
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtcT0LoPLQ
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju1q4y4n5F
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZ5hGfS4U
「我無。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZyLp3mqaP
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeHb6j02Sw
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p0Zc3KRf3
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7hNZMG4l
「鈴兒……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkped1ndcSG
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPDGvsm8CP
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm3WfLSYaU
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkP1vewIdD
「你真係無事？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2pNXhOZmZ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC2XVgKKWt
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WhSOGG92
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PSJIQ1ZKl
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsqxhd8gwn
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcukn8z2EsU
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHT6Xukims
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4Zc9Q6KY
「明……明白。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaRpIzLU5f
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmzi3nSfXq
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！238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQnV1tZSgB
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrf1SPGh6V
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxkmqW8g6
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCNJPS7KTb
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWcJEVg25w
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU5KYtGV4H
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Jt5hc0rM
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CfmfOCrNQ
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiYGqgoONd
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgfG3iNle
「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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8dKy2loZ5
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4lkJHoPg5
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTayj65ofkR
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALRq80H3d7
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IwPFmUDa7
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQwePUtNN
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpF544HSaH
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJlHKZDPS
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTefSBpkmV9
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwGL9psCKb
「好。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVf2XQEeIg
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJYfOGIFrs
沙漏中的沙被停下。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZQhEu3imZ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6LBT2XT27
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7xOEE8Ddp
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbNosc6TBA
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1yqp330h8
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqrF2TwyeD
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehMgoKP8rH
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyICFnoVjR
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYqJRsUXa
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYHRCwj9w6
「呃……呃……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBUcjXQsQr
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAtyrMzgNu
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YGfpGTbRu
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJkfwaYz6w
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wa3cHB3nZ
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4niUKHOQP0
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCaDVowZVT
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwe1iYZEu3
「……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcbfxJ5Df
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9rpcqMxVo
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1BBhvDgt3
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXqtumHc7
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaVPeqmR1G
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7oTc3zYw0
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuXoTPJs2l
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FdSObY4qF
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKden67vQIo
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJMsclPfcZ
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbySVdeDm8
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSLNRRaB4i
假如鈴兒是錯的。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTVVg7V44V
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEzaftBvyR
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oP4b4EiVp
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhChRnsCJw
「……你咩意思？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPerBdHEJ2W
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ41WPRlSs
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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpaI5gKc4
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlBpQgljVu
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjqZR656c4
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIbtBxYKP
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNuAZ8Lp6N
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBchCXfCjaK
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrVRxZfhwj
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWZ7CeS35
「阡迴之門？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTednq6Yimt
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySrJAJrgE3
「跟我嚟。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9NJtrgEAj
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEiM9Vk6J
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HKccErHf
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG3yMc03JZ
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlLIPbXAVa
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYuhU1Laml
「叮…叮……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMWRSqDFjy
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgfB2yIwNz
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8qK8v33jW
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc5dDwAho3
「就會咁。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX4L1eitMK
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TBRj4lpZ7
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ4I0J6vXp
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzOihR95Md
「係阡迴旅館？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBlrjVTPDN
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlhm8C9jPc
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLk3vX4gi
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3NXEOsAv6
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIsAyEtQt
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmVoyfexuG
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM7RyxXPwt
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRF9HxhPWG
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnQ16mJE0
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qa6sI6y7T
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7FWVcmlah
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBlbuCFOfS
沒有回去常世的未來。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHDNm1O8c
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSObM6IiXx2
「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！」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzukNrv8a6
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM3JwIlQaH
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kB2ON8M48
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFViBa3JDb
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK10cgLgws
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGNRKSQC3T
可是，卻——238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUDaBfJz67
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡead1QQ9Cz2
「無。」鈴兒說。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVaVEjhceu
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30kJXNwYMU
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPl0y00HlB
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcRc3yjSR
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlenAhBLxBa
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OlpjvkGjV
「真心咩……」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBFgFxboio
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ZJdlDqp8
「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？」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh4hTxJLLe
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcV0lJIZlA
我一時間答不出來。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5KcMkoRy5
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0TFwhiqOL
回家？當然了，我想回家。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKWvfAtIHp
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1AgT4Dni4
但之後呢？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpfq7ia2pN
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e1f2oDtSP
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？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iJy3djf4T
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTUWTdajCs
我甚麼也不會成為的。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPSo5MN06
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L06qZZ7xw
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？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSVtVG86P
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJR4gkC8Q
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrSNl5hCAE
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8knbNr9Ys
「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。」238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHQMQULgps
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9iONZ1mUu
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQJb9A0wRt
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ynUnvrJM
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa2XEZ54IK
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDa6sGktKA
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。238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCopQpl1Ls
