愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ER0fMfVYJ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RpVd5NrcP
但準確來說，是前攝影師。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIAfSeTz93
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnBpTMUxBM
「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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OuGtCKhxE
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA8IqMwIFt
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ga5yiNzi
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeRzsZe1Fu
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLxBKQMlz
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY14ZsYyzoB
「好靚係唔係？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOiJbksIt
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuzaoOXcwm
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASLsozcUjv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3q5G3ctIr
「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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvTBxlNoEH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ng2RU4Dpe
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGuhGz5cka
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctsmK93RHu
「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……」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMxL7Xsyu
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMhfOSzDlq
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxmKk3Y23g
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlzqmkcI9u
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXGxTiexZt
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh8cKBOjvy
「返去嘅理由…」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouobHTOsNc
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHw0Z2dZX
「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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr6OPFThBx
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMzoiSaYMd
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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9Cs5mOjv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTeYuUvzJE
「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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vZvK3ww8Q
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlX7vNJWL
我心中一沉。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFdWtx0ZF
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ682Bsx4r
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGEpwRiO9c
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iMVO4DLxb
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEeclrcOKS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfli7rc26mT
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHAeUo1We
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hxOQb830G
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqIDOCP1dD
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVelGOJbBPp
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ9EfMysWC
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7vlWatZ6G
「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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF13XN6eDKs
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4h9bLHRAO
「我始終想再睇多次。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05GTy9uuO
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G7TIokTIS
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfeqQtzi1k
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfImjMpeiy
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQNw7L6xXC
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Fhuk5ysS
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…？367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xnUOJ4FR
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3llaB1aAfE
甚麼跟甚麼。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5B15FGDPL
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwoo6POeww
「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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM25Nia6PT
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0a002ftNq
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KYZKWxNwI
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVO7IMQqP
「例如——」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRQ8Iz0ALo
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qt0iqtzp
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyF7QNMLRq
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JtJM5dUkr
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX89grs7A8X
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNwO1ZhM98
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlTuZgZhNg
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGa7djjz1X
「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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6efppzhqw
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0kc8mLjxc
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg6yF7RxOm
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNzBpptwC
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUSqj6dkUj
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoGfJqugP
「Hall 2B？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8IfZDXLW
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwZXoYs9Gb
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」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv83v2YE0V
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKddvxNZjNq
「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？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaA14AuPFi
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XaLJbK3uJ
我點點頭：「嗯。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG7Fxxf2IE
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaMRVEeWMd
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa70n9sWPKO
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSSuuGZ51t
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFERXJIZ8Me
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwBS1Nk65c
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksSw9K1me4
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9INRYsAPYU
「嘎——」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1iYUtlX5
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGsfiYk3vx
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！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD10ftI4nM7
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO5HDrqU2w
「呢度……！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hk6L8yRQ2
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJ4Z4U7L3
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPqKP2NoS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx7gvEKpCG
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……367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggkjTGNWNV
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmv2ig1KJM
「咦？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOUpN85RgY
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUelgou79t
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDiGjIHMI5
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpFTur1VxQ
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU77LedmVK
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WSl6O2FE
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ3NoIC16X
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0wLhIHSAW
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ypt3khGzL
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgNtrzW1Pd
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjWvlC5jOe
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABnt1w5u7h
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdY4B25Nm
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Re3Powp6
「呢度係……」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4gZciQOLa
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzfRScL5zo
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr47LXwGki
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbUbgO9FqG
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7JFPnDCRZ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2HxNcBXQP
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。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwsgnjHz4
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBzbRKNqnQ
「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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVzYJFlUOv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY30niPmoj
「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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOADi8TKQs
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvIkW4Rmjx
就在那瞬間，我看到了。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYoRZTbFyG
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2plwAcOM
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！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOifiTdUyeP
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEXYjXrsnq
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzkPn2WTi
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQlAePQYkp
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIb1GHwvzh
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Slqe9LDL7
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？367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXkALuaHnP
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwfTpEu7zr
「我地行呢邊。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPeezqRs0r
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK4z7ZOGuy
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T2u5hlsQZ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Q8uYoR6H
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！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWcFxutn5
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ae72bv6a
「嘎——」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqR7c4ATGa
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o7fKGZ3iV
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！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWucKDRm3I
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh5uQS3AnD
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ajl9t9mG
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSmQ2NIQYd
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpaOBTP0Y
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzA84yT89
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYm7WBDVMW
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSey59yZBnd
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdLkZ8SFP1
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvttBJsaeVC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ099QPGhWQY
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKHxLiiosR
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdPH7tx8W
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4xBVDLJi
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN64tmvNev
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nRt63G4nj
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。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHRpJxkkFb
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbnUveZMcO
但唯有那一句不變。367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoeogBJSVo
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKXsLOFfG
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoovbCqnvrA
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIbj4OriRB
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdiPJHfgQY 維尼
