愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLLgmf3iXu
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mvTvNXAiv
但準確來說，是前攝影師。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvrvRImW1V
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGduKRFd3W
「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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiltzH3wdr
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ToRmTXPl
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37liuGbNZi
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlefxqUJRjy
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9j18T6IY9
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCtJ4WONR1
「好靚係唔係？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP070iS8J4X
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QJ6GSBwbB
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2d0Z9ImTt
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Qi5k0oft
「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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDHe8gVyg
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N9EhK0F5P
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwopcnYYNr
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWXGG2blCw
「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……」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SRcfNWGyj
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoUP05cKMd
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jQirEhbbz
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFic4cFgUK5
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HYnPMO24K
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOwczTWG0T
「返去嘅理由…」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutcAiHZhdp
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLypF8iN9
「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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACWjW6IuHr
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaFAkDkKt1
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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6qaEqHig3
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zNCvmDHcO
「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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAC7plfXVv
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZzLNoR2Og
我心中一沉。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFhr0kDX4U
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWxZSLvSM2
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y6fs3Mo9C
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qMA0nzWne
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ0hyVG4GN
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pVXes4R9b
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9NZtb5P5A
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW8ehEDfcq
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6gQ3Gfvth
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0MJhNvwo5
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglc2CgqyCn
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1aQBn8lCS
「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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzzhx4M0SV
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlUwTwI9xM
「我始終想再睇多次。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzypTAkpiH
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZnkMYIFVw
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPjtnHEolL
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FcpV0vhJ
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRzz5g9u82
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYZun4mwyM
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…？831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPIJS3WPIe
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZFz1wL8Na
甚麼跟甚麼。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Hjf03XcI
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ZyL30tZm
「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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvk8EYjNzZ
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukJOIrEi2Q
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd8BDbs4yj
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxT4JL4ysu
「例如——」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyV8vJPIgT
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctaqew5X5x
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy2cSAg7wK
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVIEShisLA
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpco07DEhu
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxxWDx8hOs
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUneQY0Eh9
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa528ykrUBl
「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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y7TAlJlKt
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3RMhZeTRF
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFf8Krsb7h
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFCyqIFphC
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbQEgKFoDm
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW3TFWwTOD
「Hall 2B？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2J0SXBf7Q
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxISsIboMOj
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」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUN6zBZR54
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AAus6LPQ
「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？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ7HXWTq5D
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrzHE7GRek
我點點頭：「嗯。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGi58xCa9E
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhVqtmqvLu
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcHE2nNc0X
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WJwzYGWOz
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUO2bodZnv
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonUmNEY8kj
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Yu65P508
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DeijAc914
「嘎——」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCRL3WPjzk
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCgtoOX03V
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！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO34gzgksXI
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjGUfVoZSm
「呢度……！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwWXh67Tj
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx1fn9mNMi
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnqNNuN21G
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsqEwV41jU
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……831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RigP0Vt2I
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStKKRAmZRd
「咦？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82TAE2ox4z
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACTcgdi6Of
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6IowCGE8m
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo6XqLMsfC
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Po2Uyrzru
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpMJ0pRVyX
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPl6RDKWH
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN76oh53Xa0
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmHXB5gxie
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscWJMmgcmN
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgaSf7dpLG
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjptdSP59Ox
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLkIgQPGyA
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ52599pETY
「呢度係……」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Zy6nyjaf
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRoYVjRXPC
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a45yJXyRd
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYqrAfyB66
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyii11THNE
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FbFv2BQJL
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。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvCRRsxAF
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fYZSBtsJ
「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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBok7fxMYA7
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBDHMSiJS
「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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0cXK8tCu
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uGJjhgTY
就在那瞬間，我看到了。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhyssixEUK
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1IghKjONN
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！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIamu9jY2B
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx2VMibJ2I
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV3Al3Xv8a
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxHWwuRGdG
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0BXi9yCVv
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLlq6Ykdi
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？831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9zXpe2Bs
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0llSBIxg6
「我地行呢邊。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN1TKIHJeP
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgu8gX85T5
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6hSRm2Y5D
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsT7LBMTPE
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！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfYyKV2CFT
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWucGcB7lVA
「嘎——」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdLFip0vET
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqqhpL1HAQ
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！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3dWVuDis1
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58wQxpieD8
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzawkVsGCk
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVdaIyifnY
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf5R3I8gtq
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHIhw9aJPF
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiGdmuaRTL
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yUMi6TI3d
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2dLnZWso
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdfpCXSQJp
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2I7q42vzI
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9VzDmdGR
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPBEbkYmJ1
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJhu4bXijK
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxc0UHtTwe
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg69Cf0bep4
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。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhtzX66k1
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6VzpQxodT
但唯有那一句不變。831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlWB9hEjG
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PJMJc2YY2
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNSN866CoQ
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IuJCkgeNk
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection827ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19iftYSHD 尼
