「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57q9hAqsO
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdssTYN8wt
「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？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLprcRuWUH7
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dM0pgw76z
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hLjoBWGgf
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MY0yHKSV7
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYHxpTGb0i
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcAXDY7NWH
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfMRcynDh5
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksUkBE260g
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfald2TY46
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaN12O0NXu
卻使我心頭一震！207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UDkQFuhj
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi3UKug5c1
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNPZLp44P
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVPUjLVPJI
甚麼解鈴之人。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FU2ZFstTR
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDdTx6ElV
「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？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgAdmKfZI
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kwkeLSuum
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOrlvbCX41
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3TTWkmBus
「我無。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDeNtkHWmi
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanhWrc0X7a
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhHTisUKR
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5iECYXZv
「鈴兒……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslp9veSCBk
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOaxYcJYaF
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhSRLMEyQO
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t73PhQ2mi
「你真係無事？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Rn3Eu72I
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNQXSgtxg
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyhxL6co9F
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2TAvOsZq
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI4KS3ZMSZ
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡselaeTcZWH
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLXtkVzqD5
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeoawfkZZZ
「明……明白。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgVoMdZqT3
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2driQ34y0
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！207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jQJQ4vg0s
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLQKf9ha1P
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqa8tMAAMM
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltnkjw63ZZ
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneihxw0htc
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidfL22OrXP
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhCLlXnwfU
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Baamyr8f
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06bD0e15a
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs2xd16eAg
「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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Nc7IL2yN
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQpZiJRK3E
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCy4AUX9mb
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqtU3KxCfw
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQfmr2NmN
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOISCNdAPvT
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57hzC0BmC
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i3fdE8TQx
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZbxrnQxc
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjCQGoPtqE
「好。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmS7QgawOD
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpexWSOwhw
沙漏中的沙被停下。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFlJUXz6bj
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp61iz7wVn
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90yrP4Xnrx
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBpaEpUIP
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy42YM0RGv
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeabOGZXDA5
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGHHI3leaf
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0602ZOoSgl
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQBvFgOauK
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1zWE1HVxZ
「呃……呃……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh74f8WUeB
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlHGbUKUtk
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBCamS81Sv
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqihRvGkIXj
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNQQO1pNyO
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yRDIGtrHN
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoG8DBSh9V
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Q6UdUYSr
「……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAeGwQ65jh
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLlcTtQ0sI
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFgp8Kzzr
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv9Z6WTGxm
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhWnK5bSnc
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivBZwnchVf
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGY756gz4
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrJ1gPPiG7
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkd0QacpgV
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTu3LvsDyG
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdMmw9eaz
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkvJsbK2SQ
假如鈴兒是錯的。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfFR4rI3h
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg73ygnoRXV
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxOoikYSM
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptAI5L3za
「……你咩意思？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XUIy1dMa7
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRt3nquwis
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？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwzKvaX8f
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20wvut7qpj
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mlmchy9nw
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEvQWjUIr
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r8XYhzczh
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3GhcmrtNg
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc4XFI9emB
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmqPIprvou
「阡迴之門？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBvDBs5iRe
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghHWwrpXh
「跟我嚟。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcMRHNM7Up
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4oSfuIEyI
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsYmbvRtdE
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI93qLtgvQ
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiXn4wdKQV
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGHh2p33C
「叮…叮……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyfnbMkyR
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsVq40PcZD
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvP50kJMvJ
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa9RNa9ced
「就會咁。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH0dJ6F14i
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lUGp0qrDF
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtPgp4r1f9
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLyLpq97Z
「係阡迴旅館？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7izTkHSR8
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWDx8h0muq
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ejlpxa4vd
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXQARgt11w
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgslXXbG0nd
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdQ8Yvi29W
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQb46yVOTV
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4plgQloaG
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDclu1PXQd
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SFrrCBlNa
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSZzjs1GrK
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZF7RXsiTY
沒有回去常世的未來。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHOYxLAm51
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFt36zOKSK
「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！」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKN56a3U7l
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWqZ5kqjW
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2QcbuWrn1
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKlEu1snnB
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5eh536SBS
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFowzs2pNXE
可是，卻——207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguBwHeVZLf
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1R2YJQZFf
「無。」鈴兒說。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXX6LgG4eH
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKkuGaREi
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JAwy4HkcT
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmlpvsKVPp
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qffZA5AEw
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Vx43C4wl
「真心咩……」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDE3tigCAl
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY68nJlNM8p
「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？」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgIyGn84AQ
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakku5UFVH5
我一時間答不出來。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgdoxJAR09
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRqE5Ody8L
回家？當然了，我想回家。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdDYuwORYT
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2f1cNlybq
但之後呢？207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG38n79UZ1z
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8USUYTg17z
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？207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cds0LOR3
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZpWBxMnn
我甚麼也不會成為的。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ60UuEL9e
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzy6LUqJ29
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？207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjauoh2DHI
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqgnrVNzbF
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTFyIn7x3H
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTMcIsSILt
「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。」207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFoRzT31cd
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2YJN6FfBw
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I9Q7nN7kE
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz1DyAESoI
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHEkD4s3r
207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Cd76uZvq
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。207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepTsguLteS
