愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabN0Kojw51
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGTZajPBeT
但準確來說，是前攝影師。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe0ch9KH54
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7O7XTg5S
「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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfbgZzcuCA
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWN8Zzkt0B
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO7ymwhRRA
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzUbpdeEVE
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPvdfCIbcp
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH4SebtKTu
「好靚係唔係？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy6VmRmxfL
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9GjJTREBi
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdkNMfmsn2
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD41vuwn0dn
「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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMXtPi6ql3
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFrCBgvW61
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR97gccxVC
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yLv32riMt
「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……」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNjMiz9f6
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjaDtvEIx5
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5XAexUMm8
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUdmpkCvg0
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqol3Lyb5a
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi30neWLa5i
「返去嘅理由…」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtO50NsZ3S
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP3ZB0NXCv
「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpgFD1vC32
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfkov7Ae8V
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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz8eFZxLVA
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqOPnGSu1
「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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtppjgGhMs
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIysVheCku
我心中一沉。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDTAZ1e4gP
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qgThUWGub
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDebp9Lwvr
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkXJjvxS9
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ3t0znKQZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCkyL11BBp
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDUcultmhB
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZ9Mw6pT5
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCZrA7VK1
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7cFYqksO2
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqpNcO9pH
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMl7W6omVF
「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVft7R7DONl
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VFO1xY5LY
「我始終想再睇多次。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFjtjWqhoZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJzU0LzSs
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ZHdXOjzu
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwa4UsyAxA
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMCQKp5a0O
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5UYaWYzjC
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…？484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeiEB5z0IY
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTP7seGP5f
甚麼跟甚麼。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1OWMV9aB8
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwF2ZXATd
「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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvum32xLjEA
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWaDfIBMLI
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZyZeFHJTI
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJzF1226Kd
「例如——」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0X0FaemCa
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6SeXEyDy
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc06N6AY3e
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT5uRJct8W
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAULtwKJfV
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3SruIcYjs
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6WxiomoI
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3wKmHmnA
「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpKo1ohEJ9
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJo0FCO3Kd
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmRjLr2znv
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdosmfmDnA
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3k4SrwhcF
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKykU2r7K9
「Hall 2B？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5x7fsdiHd
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZKelUQksC
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」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYA0oCpuoG
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvezyO74i
「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？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg22gF6KaR
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosNB6mGw5u
我點點頭：「嗯。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAcT26CVRm
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG347YHCG
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMS0gCI8RO
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6EpGSNvto
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHcjARvRIt
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQK0SMuWo3
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeofIDnZcO
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3XEbidtRS
「嘎——」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLvTPqz8uV
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPMWzezjD6
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！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyONktpnv
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KqEg8f2w
「呢度……！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6yZy77XwF
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSTbycccs3
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvKfNBQd97
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYYtjDh8p9
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……484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2BowpHU5p
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bkpqvkmXl
「咦？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qkZntycl
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8cOPb3TMZ
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCtfgknGHq
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnlaSQU1kv
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDQ1kCO81I
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sISwEUk1h
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawAwcmhTw4
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Ml8OMZUJ
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TnLMIaKXa
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9BqYKYqhR
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYZLghBT5k
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC1ZVB9VJn
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhJnO8nFc
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmM3Q9X4X3
「呢度係……」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFVg2HxCFF
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf7Q5H4NQW
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF68gmKkATR
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7J3xeMgZ1
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROVMZWPhjE
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDClv3mSjaO
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。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckQfHFLUe
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBaFQN4dwz
「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzl4sR0Mfu
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPR2wPAwkX
「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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn4zXRBDZc
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafyBQsKVJ8
就在那瞬間，我看到了。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRJPdxuL6
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRiChV8b3k
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！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGobLouje94
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf72yWdTLeH
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjRg0kqVy
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmh5bib5AI
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uHFdX6SDZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbJnM2jl6n
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？484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUnKm9a3lq
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXYkrPp0E1
「我地行呢邊。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvHooBwx9c
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNypdR6kF
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVBGGKd90f
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBpKtUFBvC
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！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS4yxnj9et
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKa9YeDoMo
「嘎——」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXzIRuJspY
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40Z2wscTM
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！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4fSupdzj
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj2aRBTjcg
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPTzUyRAoe
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLXXITipV6
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhR0QCgaj
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNsGWb6nMZ
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb1CElk1WY
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRjikCZOx2
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKsSvZjX9
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMWhNmhiMv
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXHlcAvC1
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopI0TpZA8N
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2U0FpG2mZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOMQ5HReiE
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2I55f7YG
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmO5FeyrI
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。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS7VoaRCuH
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNweB1yqsjX
但唯有那一句不變。484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiSORRaflB
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcipNRBDYlv
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIgwa0CMar
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeAKwyJelE
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection480ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCkRLhyrm7 維尼
