把手吹乾後我推門而出,才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂,耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。265Please respect copyright.PENANAqvh5jDWIWc
265Please respect copyright.PENANAbezgKP0KHM
「啲人呢……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAssNPQTeENq
265Please respect copyright.PENANAxv3HGQXTMK
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳,那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物,它們還是暖的,牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著,紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上,一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。265Please respect copyright.PENANAPyRs8dQJB2
265Please respect copyright.PENANAjHIk4VNZRR
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出:「喂!!有無人啊!!有無人係度啊!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANALk6OlrHmD3
265Please respect copyright.PENANAyw2WBXgUff
「……係……度……啊……」265Please respect copyright.PENANA2wUMcGKyhT
265Please respect copyright.PENANAH0M4wjOwnm
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥,逢門就開,見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框,門後卻沒有阡迴旅館!265Please respect copyright.PENANAehXOERF5g7
265Please respect copyright.PENANACzyPRsvFff
沒有,沒有,沒有!!門後沒有阡迴旅館!我被困在平行宇宙了?!265Please respect copyright.PENANAYcKgEf2DAu
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1CwPcpXRJS
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間,阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能,我們並非真正到達了未來,所以在「展示」結束後,這空間也開始消滅了嗎?!等等我還在這兒啊!265Please respect copyright.PENANAJxAPlrCqT3
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUKzmEmldsH
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外,外頭只是一片漆黑,連地面也不存在!整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中,我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消!265Please respect copyright.PENANAOHRyUAG9L9
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJLx7ZKyZhk
現在怎麼辦,現在怎麼辦,我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎?265Please respect copyright.PENANAoX9cGV70au
265Please respect copyright.PENANAsFRxZ9TBeS
「喵~」265Please respect copyright.PENANAioyIeNafN7

「渺…渺渺?!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAiupQwieRhh
265Please respect copyright.PENANAHtzgUOV072
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我,卻突然聽到貓叫聲。265Please respect copyright.PENANAaNfRlfxYGe
265Please respect copyright.PENANA9GmtvgtsdZ
「叮鈴…」265Please respect copyright.PENANALT9JurTd9Y
265Please respect copyright.PENANAP3SKMBDQET
風鈴聲!真的是渺渺?還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了?!265Please respect copyright.PENANABQ22LcP4ko
265Please respect copyright.PENANA10DbHdL5mT
「渺渺?!你係邊啊!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAjRurIJQJr4
265Please respect copyright.PENANAsAYbqGGesT
我站起來東張西望,卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。265Please respect copyright.PENANAFg6i01CmCD
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYUHlYYUJzB
走廊盡頭有人!!265Please respect copyright.PENANAl6uQUAWL3k
265Please respect copyright.PENANAXmpYWk36Tp
「……小姐!等陣!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAQfpod0ofDM
265Please respect copyright.PENANAyg7gApFSpp
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞,繼續向走廊深處步去,不行,這兒就只有那個女生在了,不能放她走!!265Please respect copyright.PENANAjY2NY6luE1
265Please respect copyright.PENANAFyBKyjr1CX
「等陣!!求下你,停一停!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANA7EFIM7t6eV
265Please respect copyright.PENANALj3pPXSfsw
更可怕的事發生了,隨著我追向那女生,我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出!牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中,視野中的景深突然變長,走廊深似無盡,身後的昏暗正洶湧而至!265Please respect copyright.PENANAip0FA8X47D
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQflePdDnM6
不能……我不能停下腳步!這樣會被身後的虛空追上……265Please respect copyright.PENANARPysIEkZXS
265Please respect copyright.PENANAgSh98jWvKx
等等,那人是!265Please respect copyright.PENANAGiGXGPBvra
265Please respect copyright.PENANA26Dg0MQfoA
「鈴兒!!我係度啊!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANA4wcCPU9MKI
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYcjIUg7q30
追……追不上!我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延,她就在視野之中,但我卻永遠追不上她!!265Please respect copyright.PENANAJLBvNLuRZv
265Please respect copyright.PENANApR46Sg7ajF
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏!鈴!兒!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAKc1MdFrIac
265Please respect copyright.PENANAqudZ2qTB4z
「砰!!」265Please respect copyright.PENANANFDENNn6eb
265Please respect copyright.PENANAObmGm1rp62
「哎呀!嗚…」265Please respect copyright.PENANA6yC9LjYlPr
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkilKUw6B4W
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板,狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門:「鈴兒!」265Please respect copyright.PENANA00K9Jqj5mu
265Please respect copyright.PENANA2ahr7vS3lC
「……我識得你?」265Please respect copyright.PENANAcNlgiiOOfJ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUKVDauxuyv
咦?265Please respect copyright.PENANAUacFs4dbid
265Please respect copyright.PENANAqczlixEWR8
等……等,哪兒來的門?我在哪兒?265Please respect copyright.PENANA0uUxC0Ekcu
265Please respect copyright.PENANAknD5L9DuOh
氣喘如牛的我站直身,發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中,米白色的牆壁,灰色膠地板,還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。265Please respect copyright.PENANAYRaHr3RXau
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkfHUmv2zPN
一看便知這是醫院。265Please respect copyright.PENANAAUsDXzFSfZ
265Please respect copyright.PENANASMvtRoepfL
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講,真係嚇死我…」265Please respect copyright.PENANAPvArCp1SMf
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcUlQ0agK7a
「先生,我地唔識對方,就請唔好直接叫我個名。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAtJnWNfrx1y
265Please respect copyright.PENANAzFRRfNGx5P
眼前的鈴兒,極之冰冷。265Please respect copyright.PENANANy0zDbcHi7
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwDTQHBGjOr
「但係……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAFHrZEcnutE
265Please respect copyright.PENANAeiQvA2HmnJ
她眼中沒有一絲光彩,沒有一絲生氣,只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵,甚至不知她是死是活。265Please respect copyright.PENANA4qvtBjJ2Gb
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1VVff6z6kS
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛,如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。265Please respect copyright.PENANACsXb1fbtWY
265Please respect copyright.PENANAdOmAc0E8nQ
「我返去做野先。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAof03PyeVdd
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYvpKnbKWUV
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視,那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄,但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。265Please respect copyright.PENANAwkGvRr22m7
265Please respect copyright.PENANAsaVnMG7lYw
看著遠去的她,我完全摸不著頭腦,她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了?265Please respect copyright.PENANAcJa8qAbxdw
265Please respect copyright.PENANAtuVGJ0pJRy
但馬上我就看出端倪了。265Please respect copyright.PENANAfXDhgsBMWH
265Please respect copyright.PENANAfBFjrAmkZL
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。265Please respect copyright.PENANA982b6knNpk
265Please respect copyright.PENANATukfv70vLC
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。265Please respect copyright.PENANAv52IkCIXJi
265Please respect copyright.PENANA4dXUbHM4uT
這兒不是未來,不是現在,不是平行宇宙,更加不是阡迴旅館。265Please respect copyright.PENANAHYN38D9zxd
265Please respect copyright.PENANAPrC7cATBok
這是過去,鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。265Please respect copyright.PENANAaXtz9KTfSH
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcsIKPB8TA4
[13座 西翼4/F]265Please respect copyright.PENANAmP0NjxzXND
[安寧病房]
265Please respect copyright.PENANAab4gfOmeuN
265Please respect copyright.PENANAm0J438Yg5n
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著,加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌,她是安寧病房的護士。265Please respect copyright.PENANAvWlqMcrRtK
265Please respect copyright.PENANA91hjKAPN7k
才一想起剛剛她那神情,那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情,除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重,如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。265Please respect copyright.PENANArxRJ09M5jQ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAhl0wljcciZ
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。265Please respect copyright.PENANApMQ40TvrSD
265Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ293QSrt5
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步,入住這兒非為了治療,而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦,使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著,能保有最後的尊嚴,而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。265Please respect copyright.PENANAwOjru7kMkQ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkcn12SDew0
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中,身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人,只要不動聲色就會自動被無視,即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉,所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。265Please respect copyright.PENANAO35ASRLFl4
265Please respect copyright.PENANAedK1Le8RUk
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚,通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室,當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。265Please respect copyright.PENANAYqyGa3NQOc
265Please respect copyright.PENANAS6MMxLrPvC
「明白。」265Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nj7abMtRD
265Please respect copyright.PENANAIn6ZqBMjYb
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏,連悲慟都沒有,在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。265Please respect copyright.PENANAMpeoyBRxzE
265Please respect copyright.PENANACPK9abCHCC
好冰冷,她的表情。265Please respect copyright.PENANA8RTef1m6bi
265Please respect copyright.PENANAmawsKBS4oi
好陌生,她的身影。265Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gb2RrDonF
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYH7UMbi33P
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說:「我會通知工友Standby,盡快清好張床俾新病人。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAegIaayTGMU
265Please respect copyright.PENANASyPb1HmDSi
「嗯,至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上,要多加注意。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAmbLCAnG68A
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkFhGThcrND
「等陣,聽日入住嘅新病人,點解……無資料?」265Please respect copyright.PENANAylO4moijuA
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQeDicm1wTq
「除左夏姑娘之外,大家都出返去做野先。」265Please respect copyright.PENANA5fTvsipGY6
265Please respect copyright.PENANABS4bJCQtIS
「係。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAOKxUFDnBsQ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQMud8KfSCv
其他護士點點頭轉身離去,還順手關上門,我當然站在那兒繼續聽。265Please respect copyright.PENANAamORm6wjHO
265Please respect copyright.PENANAayrHe5E1eM
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床,夏姑娘,我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAiq4HPpzbal
265Please respect copyright.PENANAR9YrabD5Gp
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。265Please respect copyright.PENANASyX2Fxgz5E
265Please respect copyright.PENANAaXLX3LcgPN
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘?」265Please respect copyright.PENANAXTgZN9FUxc
265Please respect copyright.PENANA5wcliYlAgo
「我認為自己無需要知道,如果我有需要知道,護士長早就俾咗資料我。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAyaE1Xhrr2H
265Please respect copyright.PENANAtO3dBS5G9H
「當然,但理由我希望自己親口講你知,你會主力負責佢,其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAlmcQr8yiGX
265Please respect copyright.PENANAS0x8XYXBV8
「咁原因係咩?」265Please respect copyright.PENANA1FUvYqq7dn
265Please respect copyright.PENANAYx1Gi53mCm
護士長拿出一份文件:「你之前有無睇新聞?嗯,身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAx2RIlls5bg
265Please respect copyright.PENANASahZPnJJvc
「喵!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAqOsWVMyELP
265Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vj76cHTES
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺,我連忙低頭一看:「渺渺?!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAs1z6ZrTteU
265Please respect copyright.PENANAtfBZX6FZdi
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出,在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨,然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去!265Please respect copyright.PENANAKtxFvcPoy3
265Please respect copyright.PENANAwmi1e7Hhxd
「渺渺,等埋我!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAyD2i1YgSQn
265Please respect copyright.PENANAbYhLEcsFQ1
是來接我嗎?正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時,也是渺渺在引路,牠知道回去的路!265Please respect copyright.PENANAuN6UkE8Ezk
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQA4bCDvtzi
「渺渺!」265Please respect copyright.PENANA6YGo088C2Q
265Please respect copyright.PENANAXRP2gJ3930
難得看到回去的希望,雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了,怎可能放渺渺跑掉!265Please respect copyright.PENANAqHEKv66NiJ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJMezrg0a3b
「渺渺!嘁……真係,肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快!?」265Please respect copyright.PENANAHzg5tDYlTW
265Please respect copyright.PENANASkoJLQmyF3
「喵哈?!」265Please respect copyright.PENANAZmifUUnrGu
265Please respect copyright.PENANAUskIFaeV1C
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣,但還是在那兒等著我。265Please respect copyright.PENANAkf5Fwf96YM
265Please respect copyright.PENANA6VLLi2yAZz
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——265Please respect copyright.PENANAIaXFFAr8ao
265Please respect copyright.PENANAcPjUD1wp7D
「叮……叮……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAIp77c26UxH
265Please respect copyright.PENANAiWQh4T1htD
風鈴聲,在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。265Please respect copyright.PENANAt5jnj8p2pE
265Please respect copyright.PENANAV6DNqWasck
「…嗄…呼…」265Please respect copyright.PENANAVTv8VHdPsk
265Please respect copyright.PENANA35Q6CjhNDw
深呼吸,閉上眼,我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽,聞聲辨位,試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。265Please respect copyright.PENANAhUnMdGM4rd
265Please respect copyright.PENANA1lkd2p6XLn
風鈴聲,來自阡迴旅館。265Please respect copyright.PENANAX2CZ4geSfF
265Please respect copyright.PENANAZheF5uyZox
「叮……叮……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Qc2dgaxB
265Please respect copyright.PENANAys5d3DSErN
鈴聲相當悅耳,閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中,青天白雲之下,屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。265Please respect copyright.PENANAfLd41E7EIH
265Please respect copyright.PENANASTscaYrgxD
找到了!265Please respect copyright.PENANAx4EODRuHt3
265Please respect copyright.PENANAPlAPNB7hjc
「喵!」265Please respect copyright.PENANArXVjuM8gJD
265Please respect copyright.PENANAXN8BXwblC6
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿,爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上,我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門!265Please respect copyright.PENANATLCK7k3nD7
265Please respect copyright.PENANA3rFFwsbTyx
光芒將我淹沒,待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。265Please respect copyright.PENANAOIDADyUn8e
265Please respect copyright.PENANA2aeEjipVRr
回來……回來了!265Please respect copyright.PENANASjzoSDHwde
265Please respect copyright.PENANAfrViKFqtqJ
「呼…呼…」265Please respect copyright.PENANAWBX56ItAFz
265Please respect copyright.PENANANVUc5KkAhM
定眼看四周,我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定?因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板,木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂,而這層沒有任何房間或門,就只有半開放的戶外空間。265Please respect copyright.PENANAcm7Oft45XZ
265Please respect copyright.PENANAmkHzyu2vxa
「返嚟啦,溫年柏。」265Please respect copyright.PENANA21DtWDz5b4
265Please respect copyright.PENANAQAAPl8e53W
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台,露台朝西迎向夕陽,那兒鋪著榻榻米,放著一張矮桌和座墊,一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒,身穿白袍背對著我,一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。265Please respect copyright.PENANAwDdNDSLLPm
265Please respect copyright.PENANAaJjSLQxbIQ
「你係……」265Please respect copyright.PENANAJsvgfXXVOa
265Please respect copyright.PENANA7wEdG4IM8R
「熟人。」265Please respect copyright.PENANAZGdiX2jQPM
265Please respect copyright.PENANAkbtIWMQc67
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑,即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容,但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳,好像看到久違的老朋友一樣,盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
