「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhnfh4CkH
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pW54iYD1e
「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？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbEuenOqkn
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE36uI2H7V
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZtsL2NM1K
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwbqwcgKm
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl4CxiSE4w
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vKYMvel4G
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKl4j5HL8P
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gCeFlbi7
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoD7iUvMnz
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXhfqfsZ6C
卻使我心頭一震！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJSzvPiOZ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUn5PSMpUm
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimQOutlc9V
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblTHTzIlK3
甚麼解鈴之人。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ly1uMyYlG
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgM5Uu9VH1
「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？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLACEBlsVtU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mxDRuvsM5
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NZQIGYal
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcm9JJKG39
「我無。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4BWDC329i
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKh0QAHkBq
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk4jkbojC3
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGvXwJbhW
「鈴兒……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNZrPKIF8
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxts4lOGCKX
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJuBKzdFT
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PjLXKF8Fy
「你真係無事？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmCH9bC4TW
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eb5Mx1GjY
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgZUkibFbZ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e43L66u9A
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv3FsObgXX
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcrGltjWeV
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoakUNdZRR
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGL2bI01iz
「明……明白。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FqVEtjT3
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gTAnGKog
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！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFTXpPsul3
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuExPAdf0S
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjrgBftwC5
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3NdNYbHog
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFseuBklhv8
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku2GPHraNf
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AvkcTzUux
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgMc9Un498
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw4ZPCHsMc
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmVCUIxydk
「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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9yTaOYl0k
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16yDwVujf8
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhceWD5ru93
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibNfX0a9kQ
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j5fwNte1u
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNQ9Y4Ej1M
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyN6jc38ya
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vX09XumOu
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAcxN0xAFa
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLs5EsfilL
「好。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ8EJN94B5
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHxRTvVRg
沙漏中的沙被停下。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycAS8yatC6
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkNh7JgGR
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDwhOwupN
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg0EPEZoqg
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0X0fYQ4A0
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAtp9xuSi4
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelHojcfpVY
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zX3lgrKXe
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWSRmZtdBI
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWis95nM3s
「呃……呃……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq76CjjiWDu
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt7SIyYiX8
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2OFqil91J
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8DBtytPKa
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ99UkIHjU
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzX5H8vIvl
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHAmrEWx28
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2A1UxElaj
「……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDALrIaJkAH
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Okf1WgN2A
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq2ILgGbiy
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYDFLblXQZ
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ennFJ7a85
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRAQ0kGfqY
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN4oNnvpSP
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDEqcnBW5c
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlh6ZNyRT
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H35yxVMHe
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4tyM0Spou
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7VRKOaxUd
假如鈴兒是錯的。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfrJICM6xg
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOb0hh3dkz
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgFC0QlmRE
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ivlFkTCe
「……你咩意思？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3NlsOoOPL
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4dUeuiR1V
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？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKeLFoCAGx
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6LBUmkkVe
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89lvpJJT09
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcA4beyS1p
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG68KaJfVF
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ryRm2jOb
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLehhmEw3mm
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnOZa7oNyO
「阡迴之門？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjKAffeJfl
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKYWM3kXn
「跟我嚟。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYwHoMpkM
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfYGYuFdtT
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4JZxhixZ4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfKZodq6i
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb2QnexdPJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYKxrRSFw
「叮…叮……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR68KlDMSiQ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdHKQu8v0
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqCEjAYPqY
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE9CyUip4Z
「就會咁。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmL0MhipXx
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzj40bYHJz
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiseytcS6d
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mL1axOyl
「係阡迴旅館？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn9a4ewGt7
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDlkpLRDJ0
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqpfOteB3f
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PrKIMrsHa
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DUq7UgCCQ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgng6FQketT
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUuTsp8TeN
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDLefeShqz
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8zB2bu1c
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleJ9Sa30px
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB1vNyKcnm
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8njoU0lGb
沒有回去常世的未來。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ztuGi5qa
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwok2H8iNwQ
「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！」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs9xNYtKKQ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20nRxTB7i
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJqbNMZc4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT96XJlG6Sp
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTW0pvQvaJ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BJo15vOzg
可是，卻——696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecB7cIQu8Q
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQQhi66fW
「無。」鈴兒說。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUvfqSNvV4
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbEMwNY3eL
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChFzBEKuNR
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LkjVipf0u
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrA0MI98hH
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mn0U4nDcM
「真心咩……」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrgG17d7A9
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvCyQCgS7x
「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？」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyrHfoEFOP
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ931K4Z3ixx
我一時間答不出來。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxWsfWI5sq
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RKLouwnEC
回家？當然了，我想回家。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XSvqfF2bn
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRf5zuBO5D
但之後呢？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhJDHquLNK
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcBCvb7ct7
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？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhsy6TsXk
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cpu7ItLky
我甚麼也不會成為的。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvfBdOXBbR
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TynbYPMly
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？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyqJ35DIc
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqkr3M10cZ
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJCAPKu31J
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrmtost6Hc
「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。」696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OsBbEAZrg
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLbAesoQOF
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNStALzsbM
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Zh9pfLW8
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM80Bwvicp1
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uL6jZClFo
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。696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvCKq4kXc
