愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5E8Qllpq3
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZNKAqfHD9
但準確來說，是前攝影師。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2icrALVXn
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQUliBwsX
「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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT4dsH9BK8
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJxfhN7GAf
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLCFveGZsQ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4XSpQCsrM
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovKyG6I6nr
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBElM3MJ7bi
「好靚係唔係？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGj5jgaLh1
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFKkZd2toq
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAXkzV7UE0
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMtHABDxut
「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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKAXC1p4aJ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZbv3nBTZ
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv4QOV5csK
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2T3o7L1R7
「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……」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Yt8OwLaN
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2WkEQnzP8
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPhv29JQ8
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiKMH7Etoj
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXFTtHhQ5a
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtiBQowriL
「返去嘅理由…」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRmYct9wkK
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXH881oQaI
「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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CH32aV1aq
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmnVA5rvon
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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjoisb09gu
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0nAcP4JFs
「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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPikL6JZqK
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wY7HFfk1l
我心中一沉。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNEzROz8Hk
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWve3IgQDss
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuzWjbIyc1
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiU3vx8EQj
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppImkNBbR5
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FNK6OW5Du
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE4s3lYvhF
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWHz8qO1T
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5949bQ9FDu
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuKcvCd5Hc
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngjW3L6i8
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI01vtizz0y
「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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4aCYLhXaQ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8vVorWaMK
「我始終想再睇多次。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Elp1dOBV4
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8xDxMdBp
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYZZQWb6R
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpxtU5zWdh
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ChdFWW5I
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVKNJNl3L5
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…？830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQZfyG8FEk
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iu4ZBT8Td
甚麼跟甚麼。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJ0a1tCWr
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYOSC8Z16Q
「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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqYG4w5jg
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vaOh8RL7X
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8C4DI59RW
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj8uNlhRJk
「例如——」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWX1wA7ymG
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NWcFCM3G9
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMOFMIRKQ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibxkTCyIqy
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAmEk5aQv
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOXaNvKwGs
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeCjT9mHg2
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttAHnp5V2
「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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzKCw5gFrc
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbYznjLHQj
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437a6WsRUE
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8UIMxfcB
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftiLYuAOVR
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOF0OU695P
「Hall 2B？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pifwUIoI6
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrtSI6ABc4
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」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41VQpc7sf
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOncPdM3aC
「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？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYSDaObLp
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmqj86EBbL
我點點頭：「嗯。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdxs8tRjxx
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtko7lPoMCE
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFgv5QAWqt
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXuuA8Tb20
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Gs8DkR5e
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbw5Zj79uX
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0aOLw01V
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kK9cMcfub
「嘎——」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywl8uCNlFS
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv55mxSXJwy
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！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqWj8Dx9Y
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOAnKLAbgI
「呢度……！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzAnsB6BMN
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sJqYtjsNi
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCOsMLdWj
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfryWv07Mg1
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……830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVujUt9lcC
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mqDDYtnsL
「咦？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9p9yZ1C2q
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPSGIQqIf
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQAbCdk0BW
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL45E8r6s4D
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRdmWrzbqo
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavYtU8QZ1W
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEd17OlS6U
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9YQwz7ie
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRotjkMohHu
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWVR3uzJg
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHXfir6nL
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTCUilMkX
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX77FNyLFE
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGvwUGg5Vg
「呢度係……」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MO196bzLZ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPEdtoEYWN
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vQkDFQYI
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnam8wgz7wb
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cJnmpwA5T
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAy7UtaCKd
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。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwgtv3PUEJ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy79UIRTlP
「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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ9kro8f40
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHAsQLwN2h
「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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipdSSrDr6J
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJFjX2X4pQ
就在那瞬間，我看到了。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EQHB6w5Pw
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTmHSyUMd
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！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQHYk75lKs
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzmJtF5OSw
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8arrVxct
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev76Ss4Dyy
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyIi2sx4rq
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hSUXM0WB
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？830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCxngYCYhu
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BdGbBw99m
「我地行呢邊。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzI434zBzh
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcSckRYI2
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRcJGWKQ2m
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0WGitEIT
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！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHE74OFsg
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1p8lpFCit
「嘎——」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRRIFPL1J
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnXLccSvIO
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！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpBW40hxk
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vvzgkw9wJ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3menRayIJ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7PA9WrMmP
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC7YCZQ2PU
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYFevvhE21
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn5ZhoaBN4
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPilKyZgvqy
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusr4t2XYSg
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSxuJd5qjy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRHtOMrOXz
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6PdmGFQa
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh42pkaH4Iv
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37KamuGqSp
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVC72sa99F
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ck2aKBgqh
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。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs55ZEPBaLF
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrPC2qe8os
但唯有那一句不變。830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs1xETFWpA
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1xrhuVUN
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqIgeQ8z8
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLjhGdy1J
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection826ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0UuTl4HZ 尼
