愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLen1i48xc
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE86eRJito
但準確來說，是前攝影師。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu5SB11IcS
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9cmUgLxL
「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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacTCNmUGL2
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTGSjbFxyq
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTdch99LRN
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBBYPnNOXb
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhlB1o6Dwv
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eB7HdUYdP
「好靚係唔係？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpCRS5KAdP
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9XsiaSieO
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93w2ihCic6
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jZGcCTWtF
「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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M2o2ziTzp
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLSAgIEdOP
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkaAeRoujB
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxktp5AFkJA
「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……」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Xbx4aZSD
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYp7iRYvKU
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTtiteq2s3
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOSAVJhijE
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzfFYipfx
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHRodHLZXz
「返去嘅理由…」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiHJxIT7o
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGj4mp9yrV
「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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7mGQl2TTs
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFA7nzzEDA
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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE9AVrmeM8
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gel19jxLU
「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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLWY8umZ5Y
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJWYCGWSC
我心中一沉。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8pDr5qWKe
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIhz2ivXGl
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKgbFlPYj9
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGJP0ST1vO
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDOYGlJk0
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaSX0PSJva
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BcyYiveAX
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpGc2nbOZ0
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUavQxbpP0
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yor8rjVbv
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg0zM6xcbh
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0NQjrczdk
「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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhdIY0wKIm
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ABwtdoY4
「我始終想再睇多次。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRuX10fZCg
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rMIkFDaIA
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzdgRBvef
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6EkCZgm70
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjtHZ9QHGf
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5XsUoDU3V
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…？834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJXc5rya4
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAkHyhsCLZ
甚麼跟甚麼。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsWkNlEDUp
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP1fU2VBv0
「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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rcp3E6w5d
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EWTmkkG3v
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBsCS5Bpaq
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yxBEZ5Ja5
「例如——」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Ct5KxAmi
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9QNMCJBS4
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8cr1pQPuz
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7FRqKZkVq
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZc6Hrzpk
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen3byb2Usl
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTsnDyKphx
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeTXrlUF61
「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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGpHLmKI1y
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CjMMhNedA
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMXeF1PFfk
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rNM2BLhf
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqe8W3x39J
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEajZXbuT
「Hall 2B？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqELY9XR4Zz
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uWUVlipXW
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」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9sBDvXzsj
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3nv9G5juc
「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？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTpUxhgP8q
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF1TeLh86X
我點點頭：「嗯。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVd97YCXxk
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNLYL7tMT
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd1AiAAgqx
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoyLfBkUQu
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi4s4FCFuz
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUHZ6DwgrX
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRGXM7mKqD
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwNayXHcKi
「嘎——」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3CYZ13r93
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmUq5jEDb
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！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKsQbBCCz
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjXLXzBqo
「呢度……！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfm8EZDm7
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bh171tlxb
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWmSEOKySj
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjERLuWFFlQ
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……834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjf4c5vvLA
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIEi8xHBlr
「咦？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFP8Vz30VE
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMlktIGMN
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwY4aZSnAM
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fPFRUsiJM
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U2BVZ3vec
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoEBN8knTs
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakyXZjhCo
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp19prhSQEo
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfY9vsCIDF
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqM3TeftYX
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QPo9yxlk
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNlgsxQ0C8
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi4trTCavb
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G4SnH1rWk
「呢度係……」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEEh4ac6o
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZgCLVGLBb
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNTTMg1mV
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4wJu3CdhG
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvKuZuGUon
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQM4xgmjMd
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。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3fSpWakZc
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDYj6v1EKP
「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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0FzhfA0ZR
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKC7r50SQ0
「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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lu7ZYQtqy
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yBxfaMINM
就在那瞬間，我看到了。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGAouFLzxQ
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OFymYnru6
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！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8nDyLWpV
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACCVApeNE1
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni21c0uxxG
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYnOCoGth9
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3bcknXKp
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4HHFCVDG
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？834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFFhTnLPOv
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw9vUh3PNL
「我地行呢邊。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPUQY7ItnM
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFaSyEjd9
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsd1yJ17FN
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAE6auuor4
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！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf4dUKqMIE
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJANWlqKec
「嘎——」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WBe0RxZq
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNjvP2fdW3
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！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK7UpKCXFg
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSsg3L3DdY
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FKPS2hMO
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05M6yI6N2I
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NUIaEky3
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pRPZaUEw
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5z7nEBhDf
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0EToOyAb
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZre8igNGj
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyDsBzm0gI
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXT1dKXxCH
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCcoQTF7QP
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATQ45y0yeW
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ID9sK9Xya
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3yKEIO2t
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGG1vz1yzo
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。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGnUM9fWC4
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9e3ExnCnu
但唯有那一句不變。834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnyH72kBvW
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwItkDHk2L
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT5WGr5Qsp
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALlrBWZTfz
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection830ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPrExtw5kW 尼
