愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmydq1MGv9
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjByR1V0ZX7
但準確來說，是前攝影師。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDjZ4nqOM4
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuPbscwG7K
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzLJ1f8e4V
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkVBanTpzJ
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwppJsr4NIx
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCZBpuS2d2
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYgxwC8MR7
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63BBbxBGfl
「好靚係唔係？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9jNtQqEwx
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu3K2McXQ2
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkMHK6scl8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TQDS7KwN
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCqVatRClL
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7KqI0B2gF
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNosQuNXT0
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ht8IGkzUq
「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……」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF8IBLVzkQ
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinx0jymi75
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZldG1W8z
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52MenplN9o
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk41OMdpvV4
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzBo3p3k2z
「返去嘅理由…」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3OVFeSX2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguO5xts4tF
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydp1jhLklT
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYkw2xphD
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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXESh3zEq
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBddq05fKFV
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNVPxP5m4l
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4USczXsNX
我心中一沉。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMmoj7Etu
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9kzdFCWFK
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQfUPlN4cR
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p43Ckn0GS
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsF0PSvELy
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4YH1YMnMU
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QIcoTIDr2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMLLWLdyAb
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4T2NZWQyR
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VaIEtQbBO
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkklRKXsh4k
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZQERbfcM
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY2kESOThT
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kwzAkMmEh
「我始終想再睇多次。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQCfyHnrp
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzyOjsW1UB
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudud98jmZ
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpuoC7NpE
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrkbRsyItk
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyusKH4PGrK
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…？839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO6Mj4BBT1
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4RQOibaN
甚麼跟甚麼。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWGxsT6Xz
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1s0QNGGxm
「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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDo5ZS0IuU
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQu23xlji
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoDQkpVbBW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdeqNDsyu
「例如——」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN0koNgCWA
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zwLqGIb4
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLbthSC4c
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaqmfNAdbd
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IMpGZT060
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNA9PKI01
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2XgurWu2R
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvBQU8aUq1
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTXSasidCB
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB9A0D2YyZ
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu6hbjEMRW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbdR0MSlRJ
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4EOZVVKys
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1aLozWrNu
「Hall 2B？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqePwOv6xci
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3emNlffGWX
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」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKki05IeIF
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbvX9Ad2EY
「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？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LSDz7KXJo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eco95JAdc
我點點頭：「嗯。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk45BrBtb8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTacELaYFt
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3EkJDxEW8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpkpFLTwLv
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTDwAbpLzy
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPxh62CKf
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv7FdGADeo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkrLXCTZq
「嘎——」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfUwlCHP7
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSAMb77fOe
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！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxAe0dTJc8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZ4FetYpk
「呢度……！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20cc6wVgn0
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlPdF0JV4g
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYcWfI5tJb
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlbShJwXvL
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……839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa38kwmT3s
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0odVSq5HPi
「咦？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI4uJUj64r
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpBjBWAz1
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9QpWUrgu
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo3IwFgyZs
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hNCSoTMo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl68jVykRvb
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuxmevafOj
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1718UgEoFk
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNt0VFets
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWNUW1Prew
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oedNAuCLC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBBgsaLoxY
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO7NVpusPs
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PAKzBqns8
「呢度係……」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BQVWuXjY
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaRxOZvXvu
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvhdApDAC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDNQkr66gr
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH53QE8A4h
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjgPoHulr7
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。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOAfyfPaWD
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnyQRfFSel
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetCJlKsNCC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATkWBE26Zt
「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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Sp8S9xJ2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWf6WybBJ4
就在那瞬間，我看到了。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCRxGI7RO5
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYrqncB4kt
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！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBfMK28Pkq
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAliRkfRtl
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xS3qfxrBb
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcaiHHTDnk
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWDQ0SAx8
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ9gbB2oE2
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？839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxfTsLLnbr
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewb1tPBst
「我地行呢邊。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb791xOkyM7
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzStlqWAFKV
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWtZqJbdxu
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7cpBJ0nYw
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！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS2cyPh0SG
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaum4MCW37n
「嘎——」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd2x1JYArD
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VADjI7wHn
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！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAoO4o6pFP
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfpt5efXMs
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRJhHKXCs
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudJD6hLrO
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst1FAdy1QO
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2xtWhpL8G
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PRlPW1v27
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpCpbw0kSY
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJaxrS7sG
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6SAl6wha
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDjxQnGXzB
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8hwKDN59o
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09n1RgSNSL
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpy4fiNwXp
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf8wMPLkme
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWNcP1Nuq
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qmgHEkPMj
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2o9kVV08i
但唯有那一句不變。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GtQzlWSjs
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbsVqVQRdy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzI73z5V7R
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIIvFNmqPI
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection835ＰＥＮＡＮＡP98Iez7jgd 尼
