愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHtup7nFD
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJYAYOcPSU
但準確來說，是前攝影師。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bUywRYG9M
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQQNnpRzdw
「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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw2w7OvgJZ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJNu5kbjAo
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz76Gl86KK
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhsKk9T7ak
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnF1JNQFtr
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN82dPij9IQ
「好靚係唔係？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lNgfRhYr
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUeXda2OzT
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSz23zA4FI
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjB8S3oF4p
「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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHyjMsxwLn
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YSj9jkduq
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuunKzrbml
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsCBwyFZ9s
「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……」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnoVZJxaJ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwviy8RDkCT
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZxtujNVv
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCenE8W3CJb
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP9OIpcNC3
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAInTo22es
「返去嘅理由…」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl3st5sKCk
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0drm37q0j
「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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvaLnI6LmH
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj8KEGvkLk
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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLzVe3OJVo
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKP0LC6MG9
「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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrdY5aPotN
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWur302P4JX
我心中一沉。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy92mEkDPoF
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY35CS3zrm
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ6hG4V9aa
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzdsXkxOTk
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQaL0YD0zt
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVq3yxzvDY
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSde5Gp8aI
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoAta8TASl
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksTd9nxZtx
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBsuZbp5fT
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv5siEJhVZ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6XASasLW0
「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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo0PTZMlsA
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQaUh6G5qV
「我始終想再睇多次。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmDZ9kfKhe
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eN1Csh5LW
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHJ5atWUbb
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd9ghKSiox
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTNxY73i5m
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dngpWiuY0
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…？820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm792d8daq
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT0rNRVrcd
甚麼跟甚麼。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJup4biSDj
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDA7Fkyy8b
「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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWRVUcirD
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8D1hWM8TJ
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmuRZH6uO4
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqf1LOyhL
「例如——」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2JHpcBBjU
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzaEddObYi
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF5PDSdpjf
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRfsG05jzN
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHG5Qadv9V
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8jM5HNh9v
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0mQXEBfc4
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgnIuWtWt6
「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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5chXrTgH
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9LYG3eJY
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFr82e0Vf
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFiwXabr4Q
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr5J1qHUJH
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaY2UUJtMM
「Hall 2B？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPx8wYsjGX
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMTAtcbqx
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」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqawUiGXVLn
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwSZpdI9NU
「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？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB4LMMPi4i
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw98jNiVQT
我點點頭：「嗯。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAgqdXWvWk
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4QbtJsBTN
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMx9Yi1Kni
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbvQp71ciq
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcYyNEfCdl
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpZf7CVaNO
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b4QF8wjmv
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6QjlyFgnj
「嘎——」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjNiO9paX
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXvdXewlx
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！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgaWPbkJi
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRDYVFPizi
「呢度……！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOxTGwXgC
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O570hzTiT
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtNYw7STbe
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNNydKTxzt
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……820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLfNdZClyy
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB6udyhFky
「咦？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs05jnsWv53
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOglDE1a6fv
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurqf1mufEX
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXEkwHiz9a
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEWgcLDgFY
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3N0K8mJwx
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZiGXeBKJR
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapv4jChTwq
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtnO9H60aJ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGlYMLsk32
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuas3SL6Yhy
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNau4yuW2GM
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuuG5cp9C
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Fr0dFl1Q
「呢度係……」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySc96jTTgG
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGz9DRMWjS
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yh8FaEZtU
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4uqR6kfC
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTX0ae1Vwq
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAVHuZwY2D
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。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFnkcZRb31
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy43GOfoR63
「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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3BpP6YqgY
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNsSd7aR6R
「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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19HNmaQgT
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJgFQcmI4D
就在那瞬間，我看到了。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizZ6ICul1T
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsVM4RDvTj
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！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PGofbQLYy
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hb6ZCg8B8
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2eZR7dvW
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSIaNSh0M1
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIT3mpXejT
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy2yze5Fcn
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？820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtTov3Z8v
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIamlltIhb
「我地行呢邊。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F3BtAvoaq
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBXrYLpYZ
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpkM1MyXVn
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzcmz5oMol
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！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6J75JzJlB
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8dfuBW4JK
「嘎——」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVsXhPt05p
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtGJc7y2Ah
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！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgUrGeMlcX
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fzc2a22TY
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rvG6V70mT
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H7lRVlPae
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3klBgAsEcg
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9WoA0ksBt
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzce5d2KMPJ
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTnmy9YJk
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU18RqbyKF
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaqDwYHgY4
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNzIdu6jE
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeueUUELmp8
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rkUncb6Jd
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJIcU4u2wI
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweZ2dhT784
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlCuy1czjM
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。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RX3IUckjl
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyCOlx8TJR
但唯有那一句不變。820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EIGi0wANt
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LLtqyfEVO
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKaD2U8xV2
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8bjqUN1kd
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection816ＰＥＮＡＮＡINgoBllSVe 尼
