愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKiuNfjqV0
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtlZvlqGT1
但準確來說，是前攝影師。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXgYnQb84V
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Uie81W7h
「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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcvAoSR1BG
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvInLynKIyM
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyk1Va9typ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvg3hJajMk
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9jQol7CmE
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9deSTEsDg
「好靚係唔係？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsUl8wtk6P
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICVnfNNaQ6
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOK6eJSnM5
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCshK0Pf9E
「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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRX76QsDbv
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYpmD0M334
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG3BK9SqMY
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj0OyO0Vq3
「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……」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07rzxe8Gha
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm05sN74M2r
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh90gSnLMP
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDMN1IUwC0
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tr2JfdC7d
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEUcjRk0Lm
「返去嘅理由…」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcl9rqRpQx
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18BUnsv4Df
「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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzc7UiU7kH
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMFnW2heYd
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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0xaULO3T
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIq5b84wsV
「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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauDUJJqEME
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsqgNrFX7R
我心中一沉。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxAlBwVhRK
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosU6nHfTm5
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2j2TcgVZ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi02LJX3iE5
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruBul1prWQ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nN0a8juj
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2NjBrt5X
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHauaLGLUV8
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmI8RVtiM4
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mq8tzNMvb
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi22SJevZV
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iJTZfUsmb
「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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jGSqW2rCv
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRrsveHLea
「我始終想再睇多次。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ZYbpPwU3
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmzjs48lg
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdXEY1zoCf
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP3cnNJZ3n
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeJ8vZktlP
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNA8RO0uCp
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…？474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0HjKJ1N6u
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdrOKIlGLP
甚麼跟甚麼。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hwrVXJHYt
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0afDRKRQEm
「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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzcyr46mjG
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4YHo6jq9u
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BfN5BQTo2
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3akiPXKPO
「例如——」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTwgDd6bQ8
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wFe6UWWF
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5jxuSmwOo
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAxGzfFoq
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H1nDrUwp7
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aibYNhqhK
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58eP3LZChL
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaU30KOTZB
「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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk0zTu5rlG
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9mt8Pwf8A
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HgfZ1p6fa
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrm2toQ61
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFELcbLNT
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJieOL164Cm
「Hall 2B？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6LEA8wSI
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNcL5G6Zv
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」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgutmZ1enZ5
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTasfJMCgl7
「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？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljIO6Aagu8
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfkRnkHtI4
我點點頭：「嗯。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY2ZlYMmeQ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFh5C30ekV
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMYT3VkBd
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CFMHmW7Q8
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJVD01gSuK
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJHbLAgB1w
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs41AYGjxty
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxE3my9BH
「嘎——」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozg39NfhsM
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81xE7lzB3U
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！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPjzWXki1
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevpongd7w
「呢度……！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQxqPNUvTs
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NArZPA76A
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwg7tF0izy
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvn5UavLAb
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……474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSTN0RkUd8
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mzBaAWr3G
「咦？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL4AYiBnWt
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqBusx2BPe
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CfiOzPGjD
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xc03GzF32
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcxhFRSO3F
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ggYahHmJ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU8adrTpP6
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x71H89zkh
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmmjvkzOAN
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbmYRA9Yy
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxW6PDftf
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMGCD85v8m
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk3GSEawct
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA5nfz1oJY
「呢度係……」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlsuKgqc9
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM03s0klkDq
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvkScPWHjA
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfDH14fQYo
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdeWJ0fpym
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGSNOgoNH
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。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1HqZk7YJF
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRh8OHh2n6
「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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimImUgAcJ8
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtjtVthyM8
「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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxWtu7HjIo
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4L6T1UHyV
就在那瞬間，我看到了。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHF9rPzsjP
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wPuYiTqN0
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！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLltfE7HQc
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eMMti9nsi
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i9XO45kpu
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb7FZgtiTa
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBBhhHi45W
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpSpjPvltc
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？474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3B2ORkq6T
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBjUkUGiJt
「我地行呢邊。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCqXdklzk
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtia2poqPL0
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ3KjBkijE
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIZktuPlIw
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！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NoSMBhXju
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIWDOb47T
「嘎——」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M3HbCxDqN
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjxkTo2por
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！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKm4AnnJUS
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFWxLfQJMr
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS3v5RdazO
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYmT1SDxVU
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNliLq0xAXG
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXaICJVlGB
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwiowFOBL
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe6p9MUmuE
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGjoCJ37bL
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn332CNj6Ji
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtE2W752jz
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDzbOzcFs
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrT2bG6QkO
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6w0FcMuv6
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKrL3RCPh
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB4Y5u7rRt
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。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Vc0nEYmn
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaENZyRrTq
但唯有那一句不變。474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueklKkMPh
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfTb1iirZ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd67ht5ntIJ
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXvXEb9crw
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection470ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSswGTK66 維尼
