愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ebIM0M13L
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW2NExETrK
但準確來說，是前攝影師。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ghyjh8CCP
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSpq5TeGfl
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqVh4j7aFI
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2f41cy5Q1
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlkLvScNgl
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7j46wviXI
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORxI0XucTX
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTuyRwfVGX
「好靚係唔係？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4yogoqvch
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotejD4sYSQ
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOUzggHVJW
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Lhg8p0vK
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FdMDujqLi
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBy06vx3CU
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQVR9mSEa
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlPtyanVlp
「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……」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCShXvzv9Iv
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSel565DFob
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMECn4Ig81
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulXs4sgipo
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEP1aFxvx1
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrN5cVrWq2
「返去嘅理由…」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTVANSh10M
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ2YZEowUu
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vR7Bph0Fm
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkihTOsew8
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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kyrO5yayN
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVvTUrrPt
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFRlusNQFg
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajX8OM2Cli
我心中一沉。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GebchH5Fn
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtghxCakzp
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcPprMfpmt
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf1Uyy3gHI
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKw6VDbR2b
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqYSxkYWuv
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd3RIlJw1W
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cD4xBVIGl
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwIY3Pfxlz
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDRGYHMQn1
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxtuCCcAy6
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAxXxdUo0X
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2K7OkYYRi
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6z8ewjkbk
「我始終想再睇多次。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD53H3SwwoO
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvdhm9Jq9y
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz6AkXMCw6
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaO6TBuVop
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38aBwoUiB9
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1fCyLikK
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…？298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgsv0C2Ag
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HlIiksrDV
甚麼跟甚麼。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TIKs6xKJ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OypKV3sAY
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESCKTeH3bE
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m4jBHc6gA
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQtlCs1Ys
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyGNTeDCHU
「例如——」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsyayQGBRL
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbrZoiA2Pk
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQc2bpOYU
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dq3B5e5eX
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZO2AohK0i
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJQcmv5QMh
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ikcN9lT5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW4yYazJI0
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wG3m6OG6Y
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSOPjoSenR
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyONb6dr89z
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaZ6O46frp
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0L3Cz8klZ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSZhCKA7P
「Hall 2B？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69y3RZWiA3
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxJ5BkQjUC
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」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ZEslLwxq
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnX1tV5irC
「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？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2gA9otG8j
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexhZmW5N6
我點點頭：「嗯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAeW4Dy2oJ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSJVyit0zO
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdw30ts9dS
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBPwA5SI5V
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVWxTWpoi
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldedpnyLx
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFqzprQPdO
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xn39j6Fu
「嘎——」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJMEiXBBY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmMORXcs4s
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！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaF8XJ9Egv
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNSDGznbq
「呢度……！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVwr4urTb
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsEiPDoOa
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfv2HWUKXx
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ezaj6FZmD
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……298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4xrIxtt0e
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv74jbah3q
「咦？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLm2X5sRLe
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP19yLk09f
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEib5dVpCHf
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S52acCiaY
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamGRVx8U0g
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbdZXrGKJK
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNdtm4cub
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXNUpwQA2a
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALxPmedPvT
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY8EOGFyRH
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvder6oSfZ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK1sp6x3KC
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49iamk2r8z
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Ia5IP1Hv
「呢度係……」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMgBPdlsWv
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkqgtPBDL
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eUTCdwlX5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm4y6thQcL
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV24ZdyDVD
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgh8AMaZi
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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJJj17e6OV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMHfjH214G
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZa21TZ6Ch
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A954oWdGy
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTrsXjPmax
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0od3QvM6f
就在那瞬間，我看到了。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4UxvbQRxE
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUxFWWsACf
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！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMyzy9vXZH
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiA5PIIeV
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLfQTqk7VB
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU77MTTf4tW
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ga0Msgxlt
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuNPp5bX6j
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？298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiJ0JIhSxp
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEApf8vGBh
「我地行呢邊。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEo5zAVKJg
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRTSl4uUAI
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHBCC5wrr
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICrHo7yCf
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！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvKeCds9j
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpToODkLa
「嘎——」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRMIxGNM4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAP4P3yIEV
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！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2laHpeOdy
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNkz8lCWWh
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4YHiWYMtU
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9AZL3TobX
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2CuiRW6rJ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx6PiWezjM
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnDupaW4eo
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1J2RmZtGG
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7366FSCeD
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxYvig8qJJ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PwGmxmbtC
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa1TQOs4eW
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwbX6avw9k
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZBdYTCcU
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzHj4a7KKM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4zOKOCusH
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWs1eHK1mo
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NwK6yuocj
但唯有那一句不變。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwxzAz39R
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuzZ461tCL
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVBApFpOOQ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg69iUf2I33
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection294ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzhbeNxeQZ 維尼
