愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgMZWhoWEg
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdkfRJxTn5
但準確來說，是前攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwwrqb5wyW
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVK44D0o0P
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfObYkRMDo
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xEO5hqSOv
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7eYtjz7q
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznmBsLKPqK
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVAPzXp3eL
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvwcCTlwe2
「好靚係唔係？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLhALTV03s
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zqVweCauf
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmbcO82QJH
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM9avlE8e3
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXofX2waJ6
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe04bHebIl
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjQb4CX6Zv
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzVfvl8GwK
「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……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGTRygimvO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5fyYk5J9l
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFUcZNMkR
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDwYVcwnX6
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInlXjLWkpr
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7rD7a975
「返去嘅理由…」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G3vVE2Pdz
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64w67yPYLT
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbtttWwF5Y
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEKf03VXxV
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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4G4o5NtZR
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpL0rQ0JKn
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZbO0rPgz
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOmBPDzHPO
我心中一沉。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dmXMGxDku
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm83KVC1Ikm
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9BRp2Tpgj
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqee5pRnV9Z
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6nkDBonfe
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB4zzifEU1
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nB1DWMEZb
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo585YE9If1
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfwmlUMZ9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTeOVg2YOI
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbznunygsn
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSt23An050
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX32y4vVns2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIMTnrWf8
「我始終想再睇多次。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZriirQDS
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99jgFLvZM
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa040vHZ0Ih
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahGE2wSQ51
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYf8Vw58A2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FVw4bWj3V
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…？832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcv3FHSvyL
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPLosxZrl
甚麼跟甚麼。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SKnMvQI7B
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFPyydvtDn
「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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0suvY0d8vZ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wq1QnyD8L
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVsUQUil2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHgo0UbGrV
「例如——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6CkKAhQZ3
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyW1MklHAi
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFp7ZcTsd9
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECBjHkfADz
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCUFERmBju
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmEMxBkGO9
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38jNxt2XSD
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42YABlcUmy
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVhMdlspC6
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhmfIQWvM
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDgAU7V1jD
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOZv7eePx
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB540vlODt
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNj0m9wG1V
「Hall 2B？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I6kC2UiP8
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4zf8cbyKT
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」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DWLpMP7CA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3bG8Cu6N0
「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？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY6DxmRkZS
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZhbDdYDHk
我點點頭：「嗯。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQawuGXy2eY
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1OObuX6HF
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOLnQ1kaV
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxlAomX27
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RoZFwJIR
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUFbfhpTe2
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF05kaG1PYT
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvDdZtI7dU
「嘎——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFwroIGOaO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOVlVOZhJ4
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UHl1OFe2d
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG43kctoeAh
「呢度……！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRJrSTuzJv
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur3TWFCGyJ
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Z8ggMtBr
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPkfTHvh52
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……832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13tucrgrOg
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQHShRxfr
「咦？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWO0eCGyaZ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NoMRufzkM
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP2CII6baM
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSHkKGwpw
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVnn5Z4Gi
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi6UqXRBVX
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nrfmjus3e
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB3H7ocSGr
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLwu0jEGrx
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDnSqqulWM
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzWpviRrtY
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJUw79GGIy
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4MSnft0Yx
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hqB8WMaOI
「呢度係……」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2a9JBNjWf
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdGLt8vbK4
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJGqqCEWJO
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXvFY8vJ5j
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO8a1tvZDL
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdpj5d1mGd
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。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnHizceCT5
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrew65vcleF
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLAqVv9QqD
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucVDPuI5p9
「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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02kC8PEQb0
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD25RgrMir6
就在那瞬間，我看到了。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mfeKuYrXA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPntTntaX
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4BO62HI0V
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ia5RlXnDp
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2j7yunCCp
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOq0WFbvF
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof8kcKptg7
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepwExrAait
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？832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1ebokkAuL
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojFcy0IpU
「我地行呢邊。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlvZjPWOn
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hKiC9fLJ6
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvCUZz6mz2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE13YyfrIB
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCGuQGWp4P
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3yPkXd49E
「嘎——」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf9NI3gV7B
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMjNXz4Nc
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！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSRgZeYeKZ
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7l8Pnzn4H
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79zTF0w7E
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsanfEbXDC7
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNItLQThjj
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydHQXjaA8Q
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItM7coT6CN
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGy3U1rUU
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogG24BySc
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uz6Czr8tu
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbuAn7k1TU
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp749JpQVpu
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzBXnw1Vqz
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpd9yJT58i
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasuj0PF2x
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGL0IzG1Od
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。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZDGT7YgA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk8BUakJnk
但唯有那一句不變。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTpVRY2HG2
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWVcWJ9qm
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscD3A4ZqD
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoELiKJoZS8
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection828ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyf4Cq4327 尼
