把手吹乾後我推門而出,才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂,耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。264Please respect copyright.PENANAml9qMDmh8C
264Please respect copyright.PENANALjuF9ZNqVx
「啲人呢……」264Please respect copyright.PENANAm3QqqBUXQD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAtpAFuTkiNM
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳,那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物,它們還是暖的,牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著,紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上,一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。264Please respect copyright.PENANAoRCXvATiSl
264Please respect copyright.PENANALsfh5ATZvt
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出:「喂!!有無人啊!!有無人係度啊!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANABgSmXUGUh3
264Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1Cmjy064a
「……係……度……啊……」264Please respect copyright.PENANAM2XA4bwgNG
264Please respect copyright.PENANAFVsAeSBzRh
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥,逢門就開,見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框,門後卻沒有阡迴旅館!264Please respect copyright.PENANAQDJgGPU4TZ
264Please respect copyright.PENANAQc25oY7HZk
沒有,沒有,沒有!!門後沒有阡迴旅館!我被困在平行宇宙了?!264Please respect copyright.PENANAhzbGyG8CvG
264Please respect copyright.PENANAIP8YI0iO0K
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間,阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能,我們並非真正到達了未來,所以在「展示」結束後,這空間也開始消滅了嗎?!等等我還在這兒啊!264Please respect copyright.PENANAS2X8wbDyoL
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXiftQ0zJa9
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外,外頭只是一片漆黑,連地面也不存在!整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中,我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消!264Please respect copyright.PENANAH5BERILe6a
264Please respect copyright.PENANAQNHiM8IGPJ
現在怎麼辦,現在怎麼辦,我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎?264Please respect copyright.PENANA7WoLTTwnzj
264Please respect copyright.PENANAMyrkLbI7kO
「喵~」264Please respect copyright.PENANARLpwdobx4G
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJsll3AwGVt
「渺…渺渺?!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAQE8YtkubsM
264Please respect copyright.PENANA9LocpX6mVd
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我,卻突然聽到貓叫聲。264Please respect copyright.PENANAXUjJ6MzMv9
264Please respect copyright.PENANAVCrjH3sH0a
「叮鈴…」264Please respect copyright.PENANAS75Q4xYYAL
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1uLHLXfXuc
風鈴聲!真的是渺渺?還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了?!264Please respect copyright.PENANAZua5weTStr
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhYPF7zxdba
「渺渺?!你係邊啊!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAcMkWBhvHGj
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhJJrhNsNMO
我站起來東張西望,卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。264Please respect copyright.PENANAhry7Lf3T73
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7qcTlYuXRQ
走廊盡頭有人!!264Please respect copyright.PENANAATPjgFgxEi
264Please respect copyright.PENANAqu3mJaCQYf
「……小姐!等陣!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAj8OGLgsFrX
264Please respect copyright.PENANAkiKLGDCjxP
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞,繼續向走廊深處步去,不行,這兒就只有那個女生在了,不能放她走!!264Please respect copyright.PENANAWAuARTs8KS
264Please respect copyright.PENANAqxKVu3R1Jn
「等陣!!求下你,停一停!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAnlgdbUmVz0
264Please respect copyright.PENANA6WTya51XdM
更可怕的事發生了,隨著我追向那女生,我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出!牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中,視野中的景深突然變長,走廊深似無盡,身後的昏暗正洶湧而至!264Please respect copyright.PENANAevwbMGsXLY
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhr9dfeys2Z
不能……我不能停下腳步!這樣會被身後的虛空追上……264Please respect copyright.PENANAzfbDt05RMW
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1sYpjn6Kjv
等等,那人是!264Please respect copyright.PENANAmkNDTopB9M
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJEhJGo16yx
「鈴兒!!我係度啊!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANA2uiVeOd4cD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAVOEVfFY7NW
追……追不上!我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延,她就在視野之中,但我卻永遠追不上她!!264Please respect copyright.PENANAz4GkelZzfc
264Please respect copyright.PENANAPjpM67ljqw
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏!鈴!兒!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAH30f4tz1kD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAStLshMybwx
「砰!!」264Please respect copyright.PENANANkv1sg5VuC
264Please respect copyright.PENANA8OqwvuYAkd
「哎呀!嗚…」264Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Sdqga2yc
264Please respect copyright.PENANAbBNdUI43EX
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板,狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門:「鈴兒!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAwiF7JObumY
264Please respect copyright.PENANAoo0IsxutEl
「……我識得你?」264Please respect copyright.PENANANOnTsCxEbD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAaCTuHsXEfX
咦?264Please respect copyright.PENANAtSGztC7fcV
264Please respect copyright.PENANA3SvPX5afJh
等……等,哪兒來的門?我在哪兒?264Please respect copyright.PENANACyeXEUUTyO
264Please respect copyright.PENANApYUyClgNsO
氣喘如牛的我站直身,發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中,米白色的牆壁,灰色膠地板,還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。264Please respect copyright.PENANAC69HgjCQk3
264Please respect copyright.PENANAyzHDvRiUtv
一看便知這是醫院。264Please respect copyright.PENANAOi65ZXT7Kj
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1h0gfoFrpV
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講,真係嚇死我…」264Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q3iSGVmcZ
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXI5GXPL7I1
「先生,我地唔識對方,就請唔好直接叫我個名。」264Please respect copyright.PENANALBkgBxssf9
264Please respect copyright.PENANAkMQxbcwuLh
眼前的鈴兒,極之冰冷。264Please respect copyright.PENANAWrFOA5kuXL
264Please respect copyright.PENANAN48EQPAPvm
「但係……」264Please respect copyright.PENANApipJFYlBcA
264Please respect copyright.PENANAN3IjRSTzfQ
她眼中沒有一絲光彩,沒有一絲生氣,只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵,甚至不知她是死是活。264Please respect copyright.PENANAhaKqm23AUb
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXtwvAwtcI5
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛,如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。264Please respect copyright.PENANAC1FvO9qwYC
264Please respect copyright.PENANASXQXqyZD1G
「我返去做野先。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAl2QZsZtaFt
264Please respect copyright.PENANA80Avn9Dzhk
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視,那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄,但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。264Please respect copyright.PENANAkLpu15h5SP
264Please respect copyright.PENANANsZkeHnUWB
看著遠去的她,我完全摸不著頭腦,她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了?264Please respect copyright.PENANAGfNsUs1iWJ
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5FXbeu8PF
但馬上我就看出端倪了。264Please respect copyright.PENANAz6xdKLYHqp
264Please respect copyright.PENANAdA5JpSrAl6
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。264Please respect copyright.PENANAZKZqIX7iCn
264Please respect copyright.PENANApnGbtzVM6Z
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。264Please respect copyright.PENANAyl5PNYKbxZ
264Please respect copyright.PENANAYO5XsRF7Om
這兒不是未來,不是現在,不是平行宇宙,更加不是阡迴旅館。264Please respect copyright.PENANA9RALMuEtxr
264Please respect copyright.PENANAvY6qxIWkLu
這是過去,鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。264Please respect copyright.PENANA6DQv9P2ocE
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXeLQsz6j6l
[13座 西翼4/F]264Please respect copyright.PENANAzKdn7iTuY3
[安寧病房]
264Please respect copyright.PENANA2OSNKKbX89
264Please respect copyright.PENANAjG9m2V9VL7
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著,加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌,她是安寧病房的護士。264Please respect copyright.PENANAHbDa0V9zSD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAL3Y0v0Mhpk
才一想起剛剛她那神情,那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情,除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重,如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。264Please respect copyright.PENANAKd6BM0WW61
264Please respect copyright.PENANAAI8UHmqTon
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。264Please respect copyright.PENANAwIecxLrEmC
264Please respect copyright.PENANA1YGO3j5MDE
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步,入住這兒非為了治療,而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦,使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著,能保有最後的尊嚴,而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。264Please respect copyright.PENANAB7pJhd3QW7
264Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Ezu9BVNK
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中,身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人,只要不動聲色就會自動被無視,即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉,所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。264Please respect copyright.PENANARQELSJtRsr
264Please respect copyright.PENANAqUwTLSDzbB
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚,通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室,當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。264Please respect copyright.PENANALHZJHlqP6f
264Please respect copyright.PENANA0QbpdW5Uua
「明白。」264Please respect copyright.PENANA63lTHBW5SY
264Please respect copyright.PENANAjRcWU5tS7x
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏,連悲慟都沒有,在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。264Please respect copyright.PENANAC1gIpVolIu
264Please respect copyright.PENANAHQrbcevWc6
好冰冷,她的表情。264Please respect copyright.PENANA78uVp0OGgg
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXjltdU7zA8
好陌生,她的身影。264Please respect copyright.PENANASiGMhlEKp3
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhsF6smXfcp
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說:「我會通知工友Standby,盡快清好張床俾新病人。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAjWQeUUfcJO
264Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Fm6QHVrd
「嗯,至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上,要多加注意。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAg0uhgNeLWS
264Please respect copyright.PENANA3OLHRMCTWm
「等陣,聽日入住嘅新病人,點解……無資料?」264Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZQSyLYQZI
264Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Kiz0eADZ
「除左夏姑娘之外,大家都出返去做野先。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAXjbpAPPpAv
264Please respect copyright.PENANAKcxWuomlv0
「係。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAuNMGg2aPGP
264Please respect copyright.PENANACgebyrikdE
其他護士點點頭轉身離去,還順手關上門,我當然站在那兒繼續聽。264Please respect copyright.PENANADpqSjfujfC
264Please respect copyright.PENANAvypO9cCj5e
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床,夏姑娘,我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」264Please respect copyright.PENANA3609YzGmRj
264Please respect copyright.PENANAsakriD760i
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。264Please respect copyright.PENANAorfVaLW7jc
264Please respect copyright.PENANA5io6pYkW8h
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘?」264Please respect copyright.PENANAOOLz3cxDHC
264Please respect copyright.PENANAA5SQJhNWuc
「我認為自己無需要知道,如果我有需要知道,護士長早就俾咗資料我。」264Please respect copyright.PENANA93in5yf7HX
264Please respect copyright.PENANAIhbz6ExckU
「當然,但理由我希望自己親口講你知,你會主力負責佢,其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAMgUcb4WeeE
264Please respect copyright.PENANAIMH4xWnNCe
「咁原因係咩?」264Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZQ9hGXTP6
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhGNWmKQxHy
護士長拿出一份文件:「你之前有無睇新聞?嗯,身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」264Please respect copyright.PENANAJnHdEdkXGZ
264Please respect copyright.PENANA2V7TKDZW6v
「喵!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAes6RNJkAFX
264Please respect copyright.PENANAncaSutFXwC
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺,我連忙低頭一看:「渺渺?!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAhGTxkd8A0c
264Please respect copyright.PENANAfVRFJ4rLDQ
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出,在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨,然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去!264Please respect copyright.PENANAafiQNFfFto
264Please respect copyright.PENANAhq7Z2JtlEj
「渺渺,等埋我!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAorqWSBaWls
264Please respect copyright.PENANAXsNmZqKcua
是來接我嗎?正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時,也是渺渺在引路,牠知道回去的路!264Please respect copyright.PENANAltBn3xoxxR
264Please respect copyright.PENANAzDcLJwVdRm
「渺渺!」264Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lk20ORq3G
264Please respect copyright.PENANAl3sOUV2Tc5
難得看到回去的希望,雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了,怎可能放渺渺跑掉!264Please respect copyright.PENANArnMRbyOoY9
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7zqtm31jpX
「渺渺!嘁……真係,肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快!?」264Please respect copyright.PENANAgrAy34BnuM
264Please respect copyright.PENANAKJoHQUQp6w
「喵哈?!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAhl5Ln8W6Ek
264Please respect copyright.PENANAxUUBomZUq5
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣,但還是在那兒等著我。264Please respect copyright.PENANAdUgYB8isIc
264Please respect copyright.PENANAbCcCSh5DG3
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——264Please respect copyright.PENANAb3OU3uHoDb
264Please respect copyright.PENANAGUCkHWg91o
「叮……叮……」264Please respect copyright.PENANA04mL7WL5Ci
264Please respect copyright.PENANAYwJEItCgvu
風鈴聲,在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。264Please respect copyright.PENANAqlpGETNjL0
264Please respect copyright.PENANAVphBeL33Tj
「…嗄…呼…」264Please respect copyright.PENANAv4IZOhk2E4
264Please respect copyright.PENANAKrICZRK863
深呼吸,閉上眼,我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽,聞聲辨位,試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。264Please respect copyright.PENANA1WT2Dgg8Lu
264Please respect copyright.PENANAnZUPDWBvbl
風鈴聲,來自阡迴旅館。264Please respect copyright.PENANAh7O4M9pNrk
264Please respect copyright.PENANAoMrobOxtEW
「叮……叮……」264Please respect copyright.PENANAhcC9VkGXd2
264Please respect copyright.PENANAtnVO63ZS6K
鈴聲相當悅耳,閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中,青天白雲之下,屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。264Please respect copyright.PENANAiJtqfsg57z
264Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ur6BDG8iU
找到了!264Please respect copyright.PENANADtCNzcOFft
264Please respect copyright.PENANA73KekQmjZu
「喵!」264Please respect copyright.PENANAE0ZPOTuQnR
264Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsU6GeWyQ
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿,爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上,我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門!264Please respect copyright.PENANAh76AuqdIsE
264Please respect copyright.PENANAU3YQbSiSjo
光芒將我淹沒,待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。264Please respect copyright.PENANAeGzftEOrrH
264Please respect copyright.PENANAFZk1n8qm8e
回來……回來了!264Please respect copyright.PENANANlAQUcgbDr
264Please respect copyright.PENANAQF34Z3gNSz
「呼…呼…」264Please respect copyright.PENANAgjx5aGgDk1
264Please respect copyright.PENANA4ajdvIY0dt
定眼看四周,我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定?因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板,木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂,而這層沒有任何房間或門,就只有半開放的戶外空間。264Please respect copyright.PENANAFhWGoUVNia
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7MrfRoPKL3
「返嚟啦,溫年柏。」264Please respect copyright.PENANAXRPSz3aGkv
264Please respect copyright.PENANA74J4xDKmMm
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台,露台朝西迎向夕陽,那兒鋪著榻榻米,放著一張矮桌和座墊,一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒,身穿白袍背對著我,一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。264Please respect copyright.PENANAfU80csfXRY
264Please respect copyright.PENANAA9BbhvMZpA
「你係……」264Please respect copyright.PENANAZIQcvbpRz4
264Please respect copyright.PENANAzibxmsksTK
「熟人。」264Please respect copyright.PENANA7yUj8RMmr1
264Please respect copyright.PENANA7V5LY9TGgT
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑,即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容,但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳,好像看到久違的老朋友一樣,盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
