愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAgQoH8Uhe
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3VGJbiky
但準確來說，是前攝影師。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc2GNXMCHq
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawx9tRZMMy
「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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmRQF9gMO
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgr4DQpeBM
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTIPFgC3hu
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdT6kO2WB
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDtCAHjhIL
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcyB2sSgeS
「好靚係唔係？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZYq77Q5TR
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2GjkFubih
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAxpsynciz
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukQly8Z12X
「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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUnv0sFKn8
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTxf9614tq
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDRFzShxw4
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBnKPHofK
「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……」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qY4ISpiL
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaUqn2XXn
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFl0oUikwl
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NXT9G2UE
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96BPk3QGKb
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZRfMCxyS
「返去嘅理由…」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWasKSVZ5M
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN8R0cgfdv
「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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zoS6UC9NU
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sra9R07fJ
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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKWBqCW3ao
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3LV0IKHdT
「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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKi9K0fDNp
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtbD0pJfJM
我心中一沉。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YArcArj2L
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlciQBc4EdN
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMcFHfDfu
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpuQ6gh3H
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwyo9Wj50k
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia7r5udGsf
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu0bhv4y6Y
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S0KxUbQ8i
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHatluwQSzq
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJx22x0JzC
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJSsa5gQDU
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ73HDxnZB
「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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA3L1ZzAjO
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp6jcZfXcq
「我始終想再睇多次。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrjMYjt0KR
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap8x7wgnWf
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37qbufldjT
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsNmxT6ubp
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5F2aUOsaC
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHZ47nAaW
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…？470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrrc4xW1rZ
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz8lUtFu1R
甚麼跟甚麼。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRO14RTjL
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkhRk9dgVh
「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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXUud3Odb
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjrzqd6Dis
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOWHguX1HA
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxKZZ8zQr
「例如——」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOe865LLnX
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBelvNXDiCc
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3iuyMg8Rf
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hNg17dYaV
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eq9BPAdwx
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybD5rtcFA6
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6a83BqI3C
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW5P2zMltS
「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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbEB4EHSPB
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdoqKCFzXZ
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbK4nc80tC
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxMf7tTDjB
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUGnp0vKrn
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCjuQ92dKn
「Hall 2B？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0J68ukwFZ
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1VaTJWYoJ
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」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMbHlWxd5C
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpJfD0k5j9
「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？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsHkQpBUb
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QvvPCuavk
我點點頭：「嗯。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ41un0gcy
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQb5L5VSLw
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy01JCg2uH0
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiJ4Eay3i
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktkUcsFjdK
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dLy9lHOX5
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhMteSOih
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6zEW9vWm
「嘎——」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvq0FnwG9f
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlux59g62ZT
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！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvL8mHSt3S
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbJzmTQVAm
「呢度……！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Vb5Z6lM5
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQGftijwcX
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphNoODBML0
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0c5MhclVp
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……470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Ls4J7jP7
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wHHPIZsW
「咦？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVra5PK6O6E
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAJ5mrA9NL
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHqXbvj1ut
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBdw4d9X5b
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77aS6WzxDo
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91SaJOfx7S
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjFlg1qZ1c
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2TbO5Cjk3
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSWtnT1UQY
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PAnOwIRWv
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SiRjvjSP2
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJw8Y9Wr8u
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrVmp9UgPx
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJk8zNo3td
「呢度係……」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviJHfxtzSI
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtY5FTulwu
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIeG0Sten
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOcybBtml
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFffLcGvwW
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtEmOHNqP
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。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfvcmVxqGc
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc1WjlkM2X
「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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWpSSiJOK
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj5agb7WAF
「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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2qJ1gU7x
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimrOQzDKIE
就在那瞬間，我看到了。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19viZLEs9S
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4mIaHnLJC
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！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CXxAuzHnu
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdawlaYzOez
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0JLhl0l0J
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE12rEoqzHg
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj3iL2sx3X
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBa5F3voEl
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？470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCN55Iq9Tp
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTT8KrSFD
「我地行呢邊。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbu70miGqU
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKP1EzzdRn
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOm8dSj2T
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMsKgkfl49
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！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMFKi06CB
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mMuBv3NT3
「嘎——」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyugsBafbm4
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcdzQs9vjZ
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！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOKG26bY6j
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF10mpzxfy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Gmcw50G4
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmoQ07GaVU
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTYzvJzam5
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi1RYGFWUG
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNxkJ1rAA
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbucSSpyG1y
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kvWiMxxJE
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Ox1nx2sd
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieqeSIbvBM
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuVL5XIj3
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6h6pc2s53
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrrHiUyApi
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKlU73ZO1
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbop7dpSu0
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。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuweHETJhX
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1O3jhXolM
但唯有那一句不變。470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFySuJqVxBt
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ahzR4ur9
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFVCC0NcUl

終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection466ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPHrBuIXzP 維尼
