愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8elUvXhgBc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODWO5Gq6qD
但準確來說，是前攝影師。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXmoo5YosS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAWfCvcfLI
「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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCoLl49IsO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjkMyfgRl0
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ki15mtr4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZnfrbTvt
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vfCfee4Ug
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4lveOCjhz
「好靚係唔係？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDwrjlsngH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiXwjcBo5w
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo9ScCsQp5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86BmwjSPv
「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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwLxG6Lt8b
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfE8oMout4
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CATmdd2Yx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAcscny5Hk
「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……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x5aEsm9Ws
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmwAviCi2L
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M8PQScjXN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8klKOPCtn
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sEhVJB0LC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDooeLLzWlc
「返去嘅理由…」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLj72mRiOv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF76xGYQ5Sj
「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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWXH0ccgjr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZZPXjgd0h
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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnajlbtPszm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHph7l5Byv9
「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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfubQvPWa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVrrr6IId6
我心中一沉。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsFfKRQ4lr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQDJXEdy1w
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL5uvmVfEw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdu0Fyb9M1
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbGZK4Dxh3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQaKn11bvS
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEkE0hWPc9
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRsLJg4PX9
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7F8dxM8sH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNO5cc7pnC
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSPtCviRDi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoLK3dAPGz
「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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlGjYnOuW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaT2IuCftv
「我始終想再睇多次。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rCL4LS6GY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiudlwLOTw
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7MAERN1Cy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3BSZw5Vjz
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTNulo5wsl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3gxJaHIOx
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…？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJDfJBDzY2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMrnZ79Cdv
甚麼跟甚麼。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9yU9NjxoN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPVz6u3zCV
「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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXt1YLU5Tu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡous8oZ1s2p
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOm1mPw6K0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qe4Pu75L3
「例如——」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqHLKfEnwc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzcHJDSpfp
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4u23KWLz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1zVqYCVh
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa83DTGmuQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31prLobOtO
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqSHXsuzro
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiA3jwiVe6
「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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnlx8uE0Yh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtoxjl6fgF
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATYP3VAmAu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytw5FYxsU8
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHvyIzfukt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcG6dydjLh
「Hall 2B？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXlBHHzgVD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3aXOH0oPy
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」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRsptiFWkX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvXHugbYa
「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？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3E1wTyj2B
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWpcMyT6QA
我點點頭：「嗯。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wtVayohXj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn72sPBdR9
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbB7P0GlAk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRakURnCaBE
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCayG7ChUn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDoRtSKiBR
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZEEfyYSgB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPz98XndRu
「嘎——」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91XoAVb2J
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOuPJXYc7K
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！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJpPHRiRS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd9cq5OmpP
「呢度……！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK2HVaG1zb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP4cRUZyY7
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGAgL0ldWT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhimiildjz
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……361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxkIDBykb3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ze5UGpglz
「咦？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y5M2Y60PG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA0mwiG5HA
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7d6dAsS3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAQFF9zuB
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqwVUEIG5d
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAg9Pv1dv
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wvfg7fQSw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5nso2BI0I
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ASqGUsct
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfATlbjEzDt
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6UupjoVsw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6KtzCpt4V
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ImdsIUj8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht9PMOf37m
「呢度係……」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYG2UiUdXH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZdaaqcYg
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipURBec4tk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb0j2NYbAP
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB9sIewFAF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12ZkHZiqC
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。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2VdmdiRRh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5j4DIms9R
「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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvJ0tf6DfV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftMxM301m
「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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17E0hzo9AM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoYpPw6UPF
就在那瞬間，我看到了。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlio4OcRLn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhWPV3ahRF
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！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9r4KdoT88
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwMQvRGpf2
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr0OP39haA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZGebLMxSR
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTiS2x6Zq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf5FbxUVho
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？361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0MOrK59nX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAiN9SYQTN
「我地行呢邊。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kEfZvuk4j
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWQgSev8lR
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHxwoziyEJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2uXJXj6N6
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！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhJ1ForyJv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJueHW8q6N4
「嘎——」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8pHwkGi3U
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWoysAAYl
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！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju066crkzO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBqEiZdFx8
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I4vz1TCmJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ECxK7qbO7
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUWcvtf4g
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cg5xWWNJD
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxX8h60amr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKlVMgwrvU
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSQSrBtV8o
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZvRHsJHF5
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgC0QPLsw4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcB3PtHUFL
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x6tF3L0xu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJusdVkJ8m
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ORqi60Vil
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56sd5yWmpk
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。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb525jzYOWV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWH5Su9e7
但唯有那一句不變。361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ95LvDuENJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTv8LOMOrK
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM5JrPPnwt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnJnBrkH1c
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection357ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpIUtXagfL 維尼
