「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMinDqL0HiV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdumrS5qAI
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqY0oh8X7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1POVhgSyRc
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXpEZAiY5E
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBGJ4jjMD
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq8wQkaJG8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIF4yIJsF
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9MYkXepRr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaaohH1zcO
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f2bRJNLVP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ4t3KNRDp
卻使我心頭一震！339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tcC454ML7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdM6fnvIM
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliBDKVn9eq
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obRLtgT2F
甚麼解鈴之人。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ29QEGOEW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0kcsAOVZ
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG9C7mUOMb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm4L7eksYN
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw7wwHiwjv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GcLlcNIDw
「我無。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwUOWVZxph
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLZnppTae4
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXMnb4j1rl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRptKB3npN
「鈴兒……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1Jq1ialU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZWtap6jmK
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7dQG2PUcW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPwByKZoTm
「你真係無事？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ByQwch43
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJiml4G2MW
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc6G4VOpoP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTWBt9aeJV
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlhS7DuEFr
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjECKZJe4ZW
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD0uT5ZXoO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1f9w0jLqA
「明……明白。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8CJB5Wpm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqj03qltF9
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsumLxBwxC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwtDYqL2td
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZv7aY3bjS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybtzvXYNg
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0it2CizKxt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y0vDbgqnY
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJZRbQnYN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYIPg2LFWv
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5f9rXLSv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmMInMJTaY
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzfsPJvgx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcUBCCOZKh
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx7rv4sowT
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ZqrQSSP4
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgKJ2HZM9R
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBVEtMcxC9
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVflHPEIMbG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlF4zamGuX
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SJbphLf0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bq1q0mYlL
「好。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvXiPaLUt8
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2muASTEGXk
沙漏中的沙被停下。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OyG28ra0Z
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2TqBNz9Zc
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gvxDdWFrl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zX7Ihd8Ln
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakxozEvWRV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH6poZfmGa
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vf5tevzWq
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYDZKDRxRA
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6toEHnzo6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsqry5GmyK
「呃……呃……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI8fDnNuVH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSgJzHgWau
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFUz80i5y2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFveEPMl40
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQJW7Vhz3B
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A6JXpmdDr
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gPML0k6RG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO61GrQmqx2
「……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuc4rwk599
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zFejwaqxD
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zoe0dcyKi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT8x83SEa5
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXnQwIqsms
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8TlVxgRbF
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddx1g9k9nq
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DPcolAfKK
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIReE1IxQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH9PCYUotq
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhZDMw8rV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg39lwIUKbm
假如鈴兒是錯的。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99IWUqB5Hd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2Nd3zv8i
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8BCP0GQo
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIq70QDBmn
「……你咩意思？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXvGivbmcY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgox4ORoGbS
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUgane919
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbFyLfE9H
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO8ilFoCyF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F4WW1YkOB
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoSoc8r8GT
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rpwqiMbLa
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2gUIZluxu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpr1hbw8IA
「阡迴之門？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0maAaBq9A
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYvCcY41bw
「跟我嚟。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC0hNBFC4f
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7lLQK55ut
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLAdTyjvgj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZkUzsyDS
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4OKsxatf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIw5QcZQc
「叮…叮……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWeRQrZKQ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNe8hUzPoC
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W8OGoXWKT
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcwZQzX9l
「就會咁。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoQb4XtwNb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinBIHufNG2
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtbpSqdnah
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpZ1XpuW91
「係阡迴旅館？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUnrSizTzW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpryfakWohH
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhujXYWrOlm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrHYRvDA5
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HI0Y0rhb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkj9jZHqrL
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJjsoOUHXz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhGqA9svdH
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFCvJruQV0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFWKmWABwg
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqoE0cfD4m
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxGC8rkd3b
沒有回去常世的未來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMi3PWJCsv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFVUWqZBj
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzkwVWsAli
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtroiNAXdoC
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLb9pTTz6w
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBMqjKwJUz
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0PsxfaGAK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbp3ibFESB
可是，卻——339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3ovv356f
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iDAVwT1SE
「無。」鈴兒說。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLqgSQkpFx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTzC8JuDQv
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASiLb1dgHi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZUd6q8RjZ
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y6M8j5OSt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRnFUrjhES
「真心咩……」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmcfzM8lO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCYFvnxZv7
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMTDPNX1zy
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iL2kcOMaa
我一時間答不出來。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz36YJE5rTM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9CVHxsexS
回家？當然了，我想回家。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3459jIZQ5P
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRMRMxq3YF
但之後呢？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl5BRrVopA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHOvnVJqA5
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvGWdCVv11
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr08dYfyzL
我甚麼也不會成為的。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4iF307zKy
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJoMi68yRm
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneXFyO9fE1
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L24E4zwik
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLPV5pylG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjd9moSuJ
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNVIm4rLNx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrGxDZN5GK
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlgfhl1JrP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyeCah47yG
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGrqUMOkl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2DCzXkoU
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2hnpvGWeX
