「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYchacaSu
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqJB4Fv8H
「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？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWwaLAJ7E
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP2Qt4lGkd
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6bY1bbkF
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKYKoxbx6F
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70TCLMFPtB
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmal0W4Ft5
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz04m3a29av
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrlSRBmAjz
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtZ1IpcdFq
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZRyUnNDq5
卻使我心頭一震！202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeyLHU1KBY
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bH3ywYCIl
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci3R5cpw43
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc773MBR85
甚麼解鈴之人。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXgCFtUzrc
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLOFjwmT4m
「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？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRVveyxdry
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3KefmYC0F
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODdWAD2Otz
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2w4QX3oHA
「我無。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkxgSwfWj
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsIoPX420U
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1IabDPWvE
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIao3Li2lR1
「鈴兒……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvmRepigi5
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV91WvJ6Hp3
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC6mbYDbY6
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3wZRlJQg5
「你真係無事？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEt6Mj3QIG
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjx5VDXAKW
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOD56fUWaN
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOqfTutjm
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBni5UneYm3
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEsfq4zYfE
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv93nsv618
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9oqwSed56
「明……明白。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzbys9qAeA
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtyK9kngKM
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！202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31q6mTDHXR
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3ECBoIGW
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbaDlYz2kn
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umoJKXKdV
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFIx2mRLiv
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzXcSVaWg
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBMME5P8Rd
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9JU54H1PB
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQt9Q5ARy2
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ar5sKKSsP
「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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPz49nDsD
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF1JmRc2w5
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTo8ae2Qsu
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPAK7UD34p
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF7nGXPosh
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUOkjDUcnC
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yz2POIRRW
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfF2XLlmE
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv4HILPwTd
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B9TVG7TfB
「好。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY5I1LbxLF
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetgoGLJCvk
沙漏中的沙被停下。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWj8UvO3L6
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDfbKkYEyE
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31A67x0p9e
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEU498Ocy
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEIkfFSckm
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsihgWEUrC
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YhuYpTDeM
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqzwOloG0S
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitKxnytQZx
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdbUjw0NUg
「呃……呃……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGe8uQZ9EQ
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHWx7o4wqD
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmIHKfzPXO
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrHQvibSBt
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ki383AUob
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1UabMdlia
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsebtIdO2VM
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWWdOuEI2
「……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0mQndI2ex
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVvVQkU7o
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJZ2TLplm
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWVwH3t5GP
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S146Q4Z5q
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUeVjVN3zL
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xaQXZnpL5
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHFuMcuea
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXTe0AB1j
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht1DavJ4ut
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I0IV4e8Ti
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi8FO3mnSn
假如鈴兒是錯的。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXLMzSNWVX
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5trS7wpK98
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgJgS03YRZ
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYofcbf6KXz
「……你咩意思？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Oao6czPL
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpo40mfZQ0
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？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfTaY2JVn6
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDeBQ0DKXa
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOrqBpnpSl
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAbDfKQaix
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ36afBSAgE
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaUcEhfaT
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJMtOxu21
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrB7mazdU6
「阡迴之門？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqIGqpFRWV
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZu4bN7g9k
「跟我嚟。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjncZ12vRfl
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8AIHzXo7k
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASrWtVGSHr
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKwN3GutdG
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9WUszBWb
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cwEOkYP9
「叮…叮……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4IpOJ2gCT
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUIF30JOga
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1RqHVVw8x
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwm58mHk4D
「就會咁。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXknUdXFODo
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdZ1eCfVf0
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejO6DKwZ46
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlX7vt5SqP
「係阡迴旅館？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFyiToNee
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqdeS1jP1S
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBv3JX00Cz
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdAg0AJCP
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6nUjyGed2
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUkfpMc0u
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UG2gqzRZC
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7GVaS5rgx
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR1Zcbhzd9
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNLfnMPxDj
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrcmxQ19Gc
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38uYv1i7me
沒有回去常世的未來。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLLOGjfZn
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6SFyaV2PI
「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！」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBi5Z5sXQa
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdFop1WeH8
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI8HHY6gKE
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bhflXwffb
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYmmJNQ3R
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm3BAvFhwI
可是，卻——202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnMC17cN0N
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyfZyIeD1V
「無。」鈴兒說。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hn0RYysmE
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZx3XcMYke
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUha3pERrs
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9HUs2KW8W
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc1TJAgvqs
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITu4nnPwsO
「真心咩……」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pe3GZJEgy
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRIQyNrV33
「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？」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2KyYtaeFc
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzQ1Bmycsr
我一時間答不出來。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTg7KGXzPp
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH16ZXEAwv
回家？當然了，我想回家。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk769Bz1HR
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBszO8p63Ft
但之後呢？202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JMuwtbTIb
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGSqKwXN1y
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？202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhztrqrMqzq
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdRyZpIh2
我甚麼也不會成為的。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4tYH7KF7
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACbVfuhbpT
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？202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP2U0BfhYN
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VgHOXZ8XR
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfjnVbtYl
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgiFTLB1QU
「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。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28eN2ABNaH
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq13rFu7eP
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7bJc9K8Ml
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejKqZFOdE
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM71GaBkYp
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9XKl3H27P
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。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBmeBZbb9q
