自動共享車停在方舟廣場前,夜裡的方舟塔被幾道從基座而來的光柱映亮,而米寧的雕像則被噴水池下的泛光燈照得波光粼粼,水波紋在她身上躍來躍去,相比身後的六塊石碑更顯生動。321Please respect copyright.PENANApsWygJL7xg

「已經向阿當取得臨時通行權限。」Kitty說。321Please respect copyright.PENANAYiEPTASm4g
321Please respect copyright.PENANA2ojZwitARv
果然我才一走近大門,本已上鎖的門馬上「咔」一聲打開,我連忙走進去跑向末日博物館的方向。321Please respect copyright.PENANASq3SWwgDeU
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPxKY9LpxVX
爸爸應該在那兒吧。321Please respect copyright.PENANAAmTjOOseZR
321Please respect copyright.PENANA3uglxnkZiC
末日博物館除了展示末日前的世界外,對於宣佈世界末日後的世界也有鉅細無遺的記錄,這全有賴世界各地進行的星之曙光計劃。321Please respect copyright.PENANAuMYfzhqgHx
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsgqzDx22Up
對我,對爸爸,對媽媽,對姑姐姑丈來說,這兒很多東西都耳熟能詳,特別是香港館內的各種展品,有當日與我們一起穿過彩虹橋而來,絢香師傅傳給我的武士刀,有我們在液壓升降機前的合照,有馬教授載有FM病毒的硬碟…321Please respect copyright.PENANABAry8skIFN
321Please respect copyright.PENANAo7dBSmgA9A
這對爸爸來說無疑是夢魘。321Please respect copyright.PENANANt5yS1dYUE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAYD9waVGLqI
但同樣地,對他來說這兒卻不可救藥地使他感到熟悉。321Please respect copyright.PENANAB3FDQLLXTW
321Please respect copyright.PENANAQtYTR55mIi
當中有一個展區相當受歡迎,但同時叫我們一家不安。還記得,當日Kitty以一種名為「虛構人架/架空靈魂」的演算法模擬出馬教授死去的女兒使他使去戰力,這種技術被應用到這展區之中,使參觀者可以直接與末日世界互動。321Please respect copyright.PENANA0DtkjI95E4

321Please respect copyright.PENANAuIo2QbLlqh
走過這牌子下,便是這名為「末日下的那些人」的展區。展區是一個正方形,在邊緣上被分割成一個又一個的「凹」字型房間,面向中央展廳,這些房間內被佈置成不同的背景,有獅山十字會的內部,有中央圖書館的據點,有赤柱女神教聖殿之類,而在那些房間之中,全部都有立體投影—投影那背景中最適合的人。321Please respect copyright.PENANAkY2HEhUx0R
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOMFhQH7Gzu
比方說,現在遠方赤柱女神教聖殿的房間中,一個只有10歲左右的金髮女孩,身穿白衣,赤腳的坐在那堆金銀珠寶之中凝視著房外,等待下一個遊客前來與之互動對答,這人是誰?當然是年幼時的我。321Please respect copyright.PENANA7aMoJoQmFL

[莉莉.勒菲弗爾]321Please respect copyright.PENANANQ70yjgFPq
321Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Ea1GPXjv
不只有我,還有其他人的立體投影都在自己的背景下站著,等待明天開館後第一個前來的遊人,對他們來說也許很好玩,但對我們來說站在展區的中央就如被昔日鬼魂包圍著一樣,在耳邊低語著過去的腥風血雨。321Please respect copyright.PENANAsryDsqK9N9
321Please respect copyright.PENANAoAaiTHiTCw
環顧四周,盡是那些曾經熟悉,卻已盡數隕歿於末日下的她們,站在回憶之中凝視著現在的自己。321Please respect copyright.PENANA6j3oxWTySL
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1IYNKtFQaF
當中就有那時候的爸爸。321Please respect copyright.PENANAuiaabj9MJo
321Please respect copyright.PENANAP7xBwiTc6t
而且還有現在的爸爸。321Please respect copyright.PENANAN4sWysNuRg
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsl0atjgbwv
「爸爸。」我輕呼坐在椅子上的他,他正在自己的對面。321Please respect copyright.PENANAbPg3iPzn76
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4S46q3SSRT
「莉莉…?」爸爸道。321Please respect copyright.PENANAXQHZ8rUXDW
321Please respect copyright.PENANAkclOoqAg3N
「歡迎黎到末日下的那些人展區,我係楊子平,係末日世界,一切都必迎來終結,生命仲有無意義?」立體投影中的爸爸馬上說出設定好台詞,不過只要說畢後,他便會…繼續模擬當時於末日世界的爸爸,繼續當下的互動對話。321Please respect copyright.PENANATgQnserVzr
321Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wr7FEmOw
為了分辨二人,投影出來的爸爸稱之為文雀。321Please respect copyright.PENANAh4QgRq38LI
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxpkETu6eye
「你唔係應承左媽咪會去睇醫生咩,爸爸。」321Please respect copyright.PENANATuecRH1B8w
321Please respect copyright.PENANAFkGWuwma4e
爸爸苦笑:「我知,本身我都諗住去…但,就唔想行出博物館門口。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAfqu3IIVe7p
321Please respect copyright.PENANA7XuNpCId54
「然後就黎搵自己傾計?」321Please respect copyright.PENANALyRxthMcFC
321Please respect copyright.PENANA60Qk8vSSSt
文雀說:「如果係齊姑娘,一定會衝上門拖你去睇醫生。」321Please respect copyright.PENANA0fx3g9sgb6
321Please respect copyright.PENANArxpyNqw86G
「…佢係度就好。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAhRLzXzu523
321Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Jd5vwtG3
我望望遠方正在醫療室背景前內待機的齊姑娘,她正在循環播放著整理醫療用品的動畫,還好不會真的衝過來。321Please respect copyright.PENANACMKwzkRMzg
321Please respect copyright.PENANA5ImoXuekav
「媽咪佢喊到好勁,佢覺得自己幫你唔到。」我說,「你當為左佢,去睇下醫生好唔好?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Dex6Y4QN
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxbnEspeXXI
「睇黎又有咩用,都睇左咁多年。」爸爸搖頭說,「做人要識放棄。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAQkcYC5PZT9
321Please respect copyright.PENANA6Df41SuwR4
文雀冷笑:「好在許少傑唔係度,如果唔係佢一定大大聲指住你個鼻黎恥笑。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAV2UBacVVsc

「我相信偵探都會…又如何,我係抵死。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAzarryaIJIA

「爸爸…」321Please respect copyright.PENANAjveYd0gxHs
321Please respect copyright.PENANASUo2Y7GtOG
「我本來就應該死係末日下,就同大家一樣。」他環視四周的幻影,眼中盡是懷念和內疚,「我又憑咩?」321Please respect copyright.PENANATatQjv1j55
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwx6NcaYATF
眼中盡是故人。321Please respect copyright.PENANAd2ohHrVpD6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAV4QkJtandY
但身邊卻再沒有任何一人。321Please respect copyright.PENANAMgHpoOyqXe
321Please respect copyright.PENANAZItZ9PfGv7
「既然你生還,就應該要好好把握當下,活出你生命既意義。」文雀說,「你依加咁似咩?」321Please respect copyright.PENANArgRsVV1wwL

「你每次黎都唔敢去絢香個邊,係因為你唔想俾佢睇到,佢用條命去救返黎既你竟然變成咁樣。」321Please respect copyright.PENANA0eqLR9x2XV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcCMwP9CYzt
絢香師傅的位置就在不遠處,背景是獅子十字會的陽台,夕陽在她身後落下,卻永遠不會消逝。321Please respect copyright.PENANAvo6oXF4rm0
321Please respect copyright.PENANAd8I4E4tLcA
「咩…咩唔敢,佢都唔係真正既絢香,只係區區演算法計算出黎既結果,我…」321Please respect copyright.PENANAUrjuZB4lEA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwgtxT39Bvs
「咁你過去同佢講野啊。」文雀說。321Please respect copyright.PENANApiMKGzPkF1

321Please respect copyright.PENANATbZmOtHaM9
爸爸的手又在抖了,明明阿當的手術已經幫他的手完全康復,但他不但沒有好過,反而變得更加嚴重。321Please respect copyright.PENANAgHBVAgtGG7
321Please respect copyright.PENANApqXZ4N0a38
「返屋企喇,爸爸,唔好要媽咪同姑姐佢地擔心。」321Please respect copyright.PENANA8JqwX7huYD
321Please respect copyright.PENANADlFtNtjIWc
「佢地始終都想我睇醫生,但個個醫生…莉莉,你記唔記得點解明明我有PTSD,我反而要係度做顧問館長?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAMgNEQGKvYc
321Please respect copyright.PENANADRcDFsYRdn
我知道的。321Please respect copyright.PENANAZlLfq2G47U
321Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Le27lS4g
當日醫生問我們一個問題:你希望你爸爸逃避末日世界的一切後躲一輩子,還是在博物館中繼續與之接觸,然後學會釋懷,放下,繼續他的人生?321Please respect copyright.PENANAzsdzRLX3md
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjNmQqYvPoU
他又說,爸爸的情況有點像在換水的金魚。321Please respect copyright.PENANALk4lOFQEAk
321Please respect copyright.PENANAPIqDB8h1kk
末日世界是極度的混亂,方舟城852亦是一切井然有序,他本身已有心病,把他這樣扔到完全相反的世界有害心理,應該要好像換水的金魚一樣,留一些舊水,漸漸溝淡,否則如把金魚扔到100%的新水中,可是會一命嗚呼的。321Please respect copyright.PENANAh7BGhl7RZu
321Please respect copyright.PENANANqPcYzrrrQ
但爸爸完全沒有要釋懷的樣子。321Please respect copyright.PENANA9Iqrv6pUiX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAhs8jg2GvI0
「我知道。」我說。321Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tQyljbKY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxv5gfmEcQ8
「我有時會心諗,或者我個時就應該推左呢份工,遠離一切末日既事,等時間沖淡,咁樣我情況先會好D,但係…」321Please respect copyright.PENANA1LtHtAfkdF
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwSbq8V1iek
「但係無可能,我,媽咪,姑姐姑丈,每個人都會令你諗返起。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAYcySi3Oo5M
321Please respect copyright.PENANA33qt3oLJ65
「係啊…就係咁。」爸爸苦笑,「所以…根本唔係咩做錯決定,而係做咩決定都係錯。」321Please respect copyright.PENANACTgxkbAMX5
321Please respect copyright.PENANAZaeOAEXYlU
他站起來環視展廳,末日下的一幕幕,一個個場景再次把他包圍,他的臉被來自昔日的光彩映得五光十色,但瞳中卻了無生氣,如一潭死水。321Please respect copyright.PENANAwy8bvstHH9
321Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ChZhcP0F
「阿妹唔應該救我過黎,我應該要好似大家咁死係世界末日之中。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAboF8b14nm3
321Please respect copyright.PENANAYqze4Yl3Hg
我已經不知道應該如何開解他。321Please respect copyright.PENANAtOMluEH4a8
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4zTfxHUoWa
「爸爸,但係黎左方舟城852之後,我好開心,係真架,同埋姑姐都係,佢話彩虹橋計劃成功後佢先可以放鬆休息,第一次訓到自然醒。」我說,「所以…我明你好難受,但係,唔好否定晒全部野先,正係因為有你,我地既生活先完整。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAFznyXXalal
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwrBC7IGHvZ
「莉莉大個會變到咁懂事啊。」文雀點點頭說。321Please respect copyright.PENANAtgtgt3kQvE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAFLjSsomzMx
反倒是眼前有血有肉的爸爸,只是站在那兒發呆。321Please respect copyright.PENANAPIProixzBR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAz2yIqPWfKl
「返去先啦好唔好?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAlgm1ZI0tiA
321Please respect copyright.PENANA2vfZSzXHQJ
當下之急是要把他扯離這兒,帶他回媽媽身邊,至少這樣會使他好過一點。321Please respect copyright.PENANAUwRu0a2vCY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAWqSPseAoYa
沉溺在過去也許使人痛苦,人卻沒法自拔地使自己淹沒在過去之中。321Please respect copyright.PENANAM6v5ta9Pi6
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnoNNecIldw
「嗯,返去先。」321Please respect copyright.PENANApbA4ombwPo
321Please respect copyright.PENANAISpCJ8IQ2g
「你覺得你準備好既,我再幫你Book醫生。」我說,「我地會一直陪你。」321Please respect copyright.PENANA1Su2WBMT4l
321Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Lh34rOun
「嗯,我會…盡力。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAUM6KSA3X5T
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjbUgh5Z8kX
但離開展廳的路上,爸爸還是繞遠路躲開了絢香師傅的那邊。321Please respect copyright.PENANAT9M77g6c8i
