愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUtm6ez7U
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprBKpebMOU
但準確來說，是前攝影師。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlydvtuwjal
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89doCZDdzz
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavW5tjdTTO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9q8d95ON
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3K6lbShc
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuai8ymnzj
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0Opc5wHU
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJUbfPN9K3
「好靚係唔係？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFc5khHe1G
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGddA9qhGF
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cow9DUHnJ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HbHKZVnvy
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Dt6B6k7f
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtG0GxPSup
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmDxmd9Kei
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJNciMCUgX
「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……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLIN1McLgj
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNCVmx7C48
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZEQ5RzHzX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZL0BvhtX0
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQJgi3IZ6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTejEl2lddc
「返去嘅理由…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nv5pcqypV
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1FalulfQr
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4P4sowKq9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqcxg4LVMp
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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcQvS4p8PI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwYXceU0RC
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEnJxiCWPS
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WuRZtmzAx
我心中一沉。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu09vOt5R6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtIuh4SRRX
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVzm1UOg8
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi50eJVh8l
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ImJItBJl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJfOPWvamP
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi88ATZJPm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9rn6opYFa
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbvD8WgZzl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjra1nfZtAF
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MObzYi3gV
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pImSTCBLX
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZpv0swiP2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wINQbe9JF
「我始終想再睇多次。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7WYYltypg
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXgsnNRotP
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIEUpKmq4k
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLp36mrIpX
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxpls6HwG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpQyLwRV9
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…？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pBu3t4GWE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BbgzblDHD
甚麼跟甚麼。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwwH4jvE1Y
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHWaYVnmp
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqcb1z3IE1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0fD1wPRoH
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHJEQpiTR
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8uyA3BQa
「例如——」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz9fQt8FEl
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoxfE8cRZ3
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzDk3llMs8
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtGo7Q8Q3
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxkt4C9Re
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf7ZhqWvJy
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxp2UCLX0Y
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhxV3b1eq
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSHUldimyy
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw8KbKhJUG
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPCL6HAnJt
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbLAZtFxdq
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKO8TUOpj6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LtMNgATaI
「Hall 2B？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpghrTZgy9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6dRc6o1hQ
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」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVItsiME9A4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uIdHFzSil
「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？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C2toGuL4X
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzSf1yJq7n
我點點頭：「嗯。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxie87XHJd
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeotQ4GgRi
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOsx2HfL1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDoKc0IDs9
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcerdsC4HXr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmOgVpMP9e
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTOAUsvPcc
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8koGhuMpZq
「嘎——」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRDBk8MqtI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA6Ej6Q9pw
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2LkePZydi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjdS5ZWeu
「呢度……！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiayQKZqpQ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKoRryqhSt
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8hdblBE9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7vgDpYgoK
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……471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcxHwScLzH
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHL4Kh27U
「咦？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzsC17Qap4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN50OW58KzU
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysmYonMnd
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBYgChYBjm
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsR79aGEIy
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvjpgYxp8
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTUutVmexk
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCvn6qZ7oX
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84rPWHtGTO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYkfS4GX3I
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGHeT2o7ii
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt42YejmP0u
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSedsfPIIM0
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBCU9UdwTJ
「呢度係……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tRyelibeF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9nQnApNe7
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHE8r7tIaI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZiEwVEAk
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgJykfRck
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWWvPbJwe
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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGya1YEEsF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa4z7XRmDv
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwafKnKHO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhllw4ZfwY6
「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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7UDJXiLb2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvPiM4JLzX
就在那瞬間，我看到了。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb6Ey5OATd
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj5lqbYamB
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn8B2rFWyP
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhwupe8jTZ
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfAyL6BmcF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUf6rIn4QV
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtnVsTZU85
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vHn6n0xEb
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？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpdz1dbj9S
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eIvlN4Vme
「我地行呢邊。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7xPRMWZe
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIdFpqxTqf
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8DQ1Uxmt
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRuwJF2RPG
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK8AlXHyyT
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ZZopEkKX
「嘎——」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn4bE6u4v9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYy4bouqW9
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbofbqpFx6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXmYPcdxMo
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZudKLriq
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraGbN0lZ5
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDtOk6t9a5
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoh5AFLqKq
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkNHUrD3UX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbdegeddn
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnTIFzpYnm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTUZzwiz1
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcrXDDvCKO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcPOMcVW3
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo5aUk62sD
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ086jeUXW9F
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP8YoouOsT
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIMyXp2XUi
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHHgULi3KI
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkstOC1oYLr
但唯有那一句不變。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFDXT1Oan
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSnoGRN8F
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV8smsR7vX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh8abKrZNN
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection467ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKRa80PNGs 維尼
