愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf64x31exp
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIH4v5C0TE
但準確來說，是前攝影師。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXCZcMt6PB
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYZ0YfLbl3
「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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZOjOdsTrT
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrpQNqtway
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70pvKdv7d1
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3E8AatlY0
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eRg5Hn8dx
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaMKGdpJp5
「好靚係唔係？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86bkxOuL8e
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoit0233YQ
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66jwxjLuaZ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQYaYv0jeK
「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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrhjHZONKJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD5kzWTuWy
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWdtktLG9
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ASvVw5Ra
「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……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaEQQpxbNK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXUCKbWPY
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORzoIiWwOh
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMpV7A4fDB
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6U5kMHSdi
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZw3OLGxa3
「返去嘅理由…」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrdxT1EBT6
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLahKC3V7Fq
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9woUXVfqw
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtOafwyHkz
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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8s7LNDo70
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaAuNEfTwv
「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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7mDBKRcph
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVhFJuknB
我心中一沉。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyTrYNmwY
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQtdhtVNrg
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5CyFfmfNq
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKcWUb9at
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailhDAX3H8
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7I292khfA
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJX4QdXVnl
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevBQYbhy1x
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZQGsKxaFO
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CHuBgniqC
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24KteilhAG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6lihEjcy
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wYlIah7gi
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQD4H4mGbh
「我始終想再睇多次。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBjnuKmR3J
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHPhHmSsb
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65LLeyNHHj
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKdPvgwPOU
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA8EbJoi2S
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgi0FS0m3q
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…？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky8q4uvXeA
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeDmPST91
甚麼跟甚麼。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURzD6tOZ0D
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwqSt2bOiJ
「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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy2E1yKpMG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixAutKnkv2
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nsxOc4Aea
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMB2C61qGW
「例如——」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77uG5exzIt
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVSAOHa21n
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ641bdmMkrc
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUaXMCxPOQ
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUCWIAWw5k
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWGG09Xmi2
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs9aBTVjni
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHR3Czumz6
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsawIOZvavg
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURoXWUp383
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p9Pgkdtq7
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgWw507Yx
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxXRD3iOv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzvuJj3XNw
「Hall 2B？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtURczHAh6
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ojVzLNQgh
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」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyMgciY6j
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzE5hUfB8y
「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？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKkKo65Ryf
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMvPOqFpDT
我點點頭：「嗯。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQFsFQEuyX
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ANISRUN8
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ533fqgsm3f
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE3rpNulv5
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKmpzaTYHX
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXGKnXLbo
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZCHJiLPv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1Yy8Ui79
「嘎——」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2jSY8jlCV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEjESUilCU
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvoePLLhAA
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYKdOpXlXf
「呢度……！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk44RHkJsJv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxpuPQ1lpU
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG6HIAJg9N
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81p7Z5h1md
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMegz8IHkzt
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb1IMYtxNT
「咦？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzrQ40twC3
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyWADCLgYU
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH4Mj5O8kB
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6yVbkLXHs
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ee3puXH7
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyp8T3m0e0
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTfIIG91KF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0irG4Uj6PP
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUXOTCACqV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoUqlMjgH1
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGEaFlhmVB
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ld2oA4Iye
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8F0jU8DtZ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2quJuNVmev
「呢度係……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBMyXKrlRD
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPnpisMAov
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2PMMMKfuG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYeGOULMfL
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlA4H4w4bx
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM6pvyUPhD
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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZCdIKmsIc
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTiv1kyq5f
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JyIeDknz
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwVjNPdx3
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbFUcjVfMB
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55HKW4FoLh
就在那瞬間，我看到了。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWzjIIhNru
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd5chMXFGd
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX2AFzzibF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd8s9GFN1V
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M19JxlaFY
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiiZVT1Xwg
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkbNiGgFdN
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91GYZhcP0h
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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jwHSWcJaM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmibJYCT16
「我地行呢邊。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xgN0JIv5p
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3x1Oq5pof
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjGyhewC4p
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLW8CZQQe9
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHURqrW2Q6i
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb41hNYTp1
「嘎——」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUud5JsD7F
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7plZGnjE3w
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdQwUwmB7L
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrYx1iNzZ1
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pq7tU0zUU
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqmVyz0Mu1
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIoL5N3SNn
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJjO8w6Xg
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Z2wJAYsj
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJEDP8c7y3
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQzlZsQwJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3OZsJVgBs
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8F4XMBJbK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvWJNAAy1i
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhKZDHA8rQ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYbWh2Q4xB
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bUHPgdhZc
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MD7I1KfDe
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5mKkZYQLr
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtv46kwQyQ
但唯有那一句不變。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4AWx5SBBr
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzfYhJh7RC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAaEziUKW2
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgAzpfBHAD
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection464ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6wKvlqlPj 維尼
