愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl2PozHnr0
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jvQ3sz8Oo
但準確來說，是前攝影師。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeC99CCUm7
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHequXDXaVN
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAxyUVYrBE
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qgAiLeDJ2
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaS5On9J3K
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7kuR5Nag
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnHTTG6Xft
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h4yiHNwfc
「好靚係唔係？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc1Vjbs3lG
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRGDpWxlb8
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7epqJVDIIS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzBczyrTk7
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjrvAC2IKk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI47MfgWp6
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmjYBTgzoI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKm3RroNe1
「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……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynoKgAetA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a31lYNwOI
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbvGSgVuq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7tQD6Za1o
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUc5pSLmya
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKGWZMeoPT
「返去嘅理由…」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ523fRbS9ys
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3HlLb9p1M
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz4OCS8rEx
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4nWQnF4hs
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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzegMwLHMt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDEqmLdBB6
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfKxOCm77
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEOYu4xCKT
我心中一沉。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1SHhEKg6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrsH8ca8Mn
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdo7EjPJh
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmxFxTuCWp
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenva8rwzKs
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCv0eckCt3
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYHVPHdCyA
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr8VPrmvhm
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Qq1Ck8IP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu451pxNiq
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61gChnrrZ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67tr24W3VS
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaObMjSXLsy
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCLTLpwHm
「我始終想再睇多次。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsweeeJlDzP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1oGaMxank
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXczJ7Y3CJz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgDawGfGNm
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM0TgTQM4R
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMCKuZzKbt
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…？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rGf2urh9K
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB73sEtG71
甚麼跟甚麼。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FRsnZfpyN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilf0jrlaca
「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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ4d0MWc2p
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z5iirrIuw
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMxW0tbbDC
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2SrHScjMG
「例如——」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeFXYdMzVM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQpvTh92Td
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQWuHDmpnM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgkPauqRRo
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5lh62Otoz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE6j5q9Vak
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDBu420qzX
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsVo3BJUFJ
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDBgikYUIq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSRAmmQgsl
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZsD5ZmPyS
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ7fHy8BbS
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWB2bOJWFl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kP607NFKV
「Hall 2B？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7AaAb83yU
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9zVUSKJmN
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」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuqpMmmwko
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPqO7bugvN
「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？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN44WL03eB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCCflgiMXx
我點點頭：「嗯。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bm4vYIhkn
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF0utZKKW8
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNifiTOn3Xo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqsyHFiWm9
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFR97FPl0R
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkGskuIi1A
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxfrIqxSrk
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPs3VzjL9P
「嘎——」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNTTTnPkwa
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uLLs8a9cV
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！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvbTegVH9H
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXdZieCGJQ
「呢度……！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopx6Hs1Uvo
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdS7M4tvNj
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3SoQXGjAN
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpUl8ZFz3c
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……336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ05kxI6tB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5eTM5qblM
「咦？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6yEBdB3bR
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk7tPeHGz4
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr65AsCYeFP
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lbAyO70LP
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzVFh5OFIM
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Jam23md9
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjx7QiXBOQ
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBnFV3L9Od
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdriVG0PO6j
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxLhDyLcG2
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uujXeG4w6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZU394TwgN
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxTZ8xcDs
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSDG7TkKqh
「呢度係……」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39YGqdgeTz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1rOi0g5fA
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue3jyt6aL6
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNuyg41975
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET2FIMOYBf
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtUzankCGn
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。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntJ2gXWHZz
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VKIJEspM
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u5oc59Noq
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Uq7u70ih
「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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UYKWcrUKW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHe2cYFfjC
就在那瞬間，我看到了。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtRKyXXZ5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CA1VDqDrl
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！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUyw4EAjRi
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUphaObmvv
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkQw0ZgZXl
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiiJu5FwFX
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVCSoYyvqB
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzMo8N0qxw
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？336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBhhDVdKh5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kLk60ltJ7
「我地行呢邊。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQe2Fdm6C1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVWWWJbKz
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KIrQ89yki
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyEjvq0cWz
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！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlyWlYaK7u
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJIHKuZK0B
「嘎——」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5lSLwwAj5
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ5hrtMAPd
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！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKK4uefSR1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRkAKpfxvv
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc6JsMQEsW
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlG38qATlt
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo4ApqmcHr
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2seL9KWhc
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznvpJbHxma
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmMwicw52F
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM3EedZpOt
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrycXeZPLU7
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMknH97Il02
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eQ692g6un
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504V3d50M1
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ca3UnlKm1
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVgxkcLlHI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP6W4SoiMG
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。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VQJPhU0C
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUGejghvDv
但唯有那一句不變。336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo7T8tKR3F
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdiAyZR5wG
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw24x8vIqI
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp9uXBxB7T
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection332ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4faTrqeQn 維尼
