「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2oqUcIxm8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k7FsS0TQQ
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpUx7mOc9Z
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8UtgeSe1
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr1tVvEJZA
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztFto6XESo
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhatod2nFMo
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CBJfFA3Yf
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6TpTWEiLQ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQcEO638DN
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj1tQYLaga
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKSpQXL6Jo
卻使我心頭一震！204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQkjpFkolY
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ARwd0oJg
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN4qOITwkD
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcUHUDupNH
甚麼解鈴之人。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOk3NrQsmS
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY3wDkU5sh
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZrPX3cwjj
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk29Y6VlI3
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVtpH0xxV
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QD5Ucu3Lh
「我無。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWgvAnXyFk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpWyole0Vj
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFUCBWgZSC
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx5Je18FZi
「鈴兒……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTSG3dPofv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5em6lHiOMP
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeisc2xALK0
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAC4Y6Owkj
「你真係無事？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPfaowI2cj
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v6RTXlQgk
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtXY4TAcnG
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0W7OH7C93
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzacxQMTqY
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Sy232FKn
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa16EhVqGsq
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW0OZqTjbl
「明……明白。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYFKsCMG3X
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxboOWXCp7
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOqmvdrnfd
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWBtmsiA5
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQL2e59du9
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZIWDqfOT
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg5ShyQfov
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqkkLRPMyq
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt84qexAF2i
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TLsJXaBxl
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNT2o8Y4uG
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw4OGpmCOy
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5bDtWZ4Ru
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9B4NeWMas
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjvJTW6vWQ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs1byih8FP
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrT7fIlafS
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr9y6VcTli
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDqj2Lf25I
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2E3XBiCaW
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC0PStPXGr
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaiPXCl7ww
「好。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc6l9kRUtR
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD8M1VtHvK
沙漏中的沙被停下。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdd5WxPuHk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRr1UopS9W
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E68OLNYGw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlsS4VwHTM
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrXXVM4CSv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuH6HvT0CJ
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOixDacYfd
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQloVGabtp
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNSiz15iaG
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv46gsfE8e
「呃……呃……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84a7eKTNHO
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2hrcv8Vfb
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX1BN5XgQs
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWkIiLaj3V
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zBlPwujx3
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vU2CQfwu
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgi6IzugH2
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs72meTPbJ
「……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcXBYRobk5
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICDJrCzXV
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoV2FZrcx
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLG0MpELnj
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWwpIQ0adc
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXPq5lqmdt
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc55NRyb7h
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpJo3YvB4
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdQMeOURwg
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylEScmGPq7
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGDs9GGB4d
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCP1hR4A9P
假如鈴兒是錯的。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQpphnSo9T
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnL0PZEhgJ
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbhvajdQm
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDFdbfT5F
「……你咩意思？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtuiQ6RlUt
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrZ7j9E62t
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzenagfziDL
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9MukxmAE
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mm8pcWHoj
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAby2s8VDtp
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuRM4SDME
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH81kHdGRrd
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ROARBXa3z
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2GWO4KyE1
「阡迴之門？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoPEOAFpZi
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGUUnWyVo7
「跟我嚟。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z9L8si5sn
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJEYReRpeC
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVdLIepo45
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowwLNqbIxL
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl25Ljsy51
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszA0ZsAw0M
「叮…叮……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCHqklp3b
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvsbzltI3
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ljNjMgo3B
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC0pDBEfFO
「就會咁。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTbbbppthk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gIlnsFXmV
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXGavyIQK1
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkB9KFVjd
「係阡迴旅館？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem4cb8Fkjw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38mGTqHfCO
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZWms4Bd60
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA4cJjQNrN
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm5CKeCkly
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4amvSpfq6l
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhpRYnbMy
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFLj2SyhAU
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzcEjCEZRP
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXt0xVK9P6
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEHf44Dqzw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwPiEXiOkS
沒有回去常世的未來。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJlGJbQPNW
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Cg321Kmy
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz1xgOsofi
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3E7CUwfLy
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfR6jol5Db
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuSo6lGbzk
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmCMOT32WI
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBtUYvb4PY
可是，卻——204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXFsSy8cqz
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFHjfRTSM6
「無。」鈴兒說。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpIyqC3i4Q
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuf9zmbpnp
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPECcbOqn
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKu5KfLd6k
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6GXFZIlnn
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ260n8VUxHa
「真心咩……」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mvyd7eXgg
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOCVJakn61
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbuAduMWxo
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX44p3C5fYI
我一時間答不出來。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4eY1uQ8JI
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayCxwacsHu
回家？當然了，我想回家。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hi1bXqkkB
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3uFn3Witk
但之後呢？204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOdX2hN2qR
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVV4chZ6hQ
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhywoABsd5
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkxCexIot0
我甚麼也不會成為的。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrkXKolFCN
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6f2cO8AFj
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctGPGjJYEF
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCJ6LnfMGV
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKP3qsNcpx
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UBaMzxbLY
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2xG4c1bh7
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtyrNYHz8r
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMuLXrtD2c
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd220kp9A25
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAmWw5iSo
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIPpiNzq2o
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWnPhC8UqN
