「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrSyXFsMU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3QOD16eis
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0lT0N4Fek
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPoaRYOwad
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblGX5uQCQV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4W2mVJ7E
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHNmgVMnLf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiaHC4BdJM
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlM7Ctrasd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfNhqzcW4
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSOmVc2I1A
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JlUqixqvf
卻使我心頭一震！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifc8bDUvFD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREjK7g0YZJ
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM94GMsvKw
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURIv9OWMue
甚麼解鈴之人。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A6RH0VLd2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYk82paYPU
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmnY4my9U
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzk0Zt5jPS
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj09qtgtxE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2kJxBGPVK
「我無。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcR88XV31
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB9EIUYAd8
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGPzLm1w6s
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxYeQmzssV
「鈴兒……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVWxWBfcb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQaBYRg0Nr
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0Y7JZInK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfQZezvqBi
「你真係無事？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGm5m8HFJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44Drzum3v
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq7ZowzycP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd23J1bnFi
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRIKgW5mDa
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX2HiBAtvJ
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkW7JEAGT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXsnz8YA9k
「明……明白。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz735msCEV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmclVmbt9R
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！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdK9sU4BCM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3049Lkh74r
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzfvR3gBn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBjLVzmTV6
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu3lnQx8Xr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi2GkNTCAy
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpHF47JBbt
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd127syejSS
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva3oHzI9BD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4drYE4ZTO
「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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmd7jg3AN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABuYsMMslZ
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6H0eVOeH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkwuvI7yfL
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPllvSzz2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNCx8WM096
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2DXsMNg9b
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQeHYWLcWc
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBIhsqA26
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rr8tQjUr7
「好。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiWGu4QIai
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfa54beFFo
沙漏中的沙被停下。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUh21I2qab
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4uWVmrIIF
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhosY3aJU5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNinyny4y
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIfFdflCOz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlUuOyurvh
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RNYY7L9n7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZdQNfAjL
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvmKEyLDo1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iabxywQOT
「呃……呃……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANrK7veA3G
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUx5wT1c6h
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbrEYDjtsn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo50oS1Ltz
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYROamoQuMl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeR01yhqSr
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8monbv0Ux
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF748jwcXvX
「……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUUKeyYZu
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRIoNAVbf
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxphIQsIRT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYfKJMwn4
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovAsMGQljJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkmz9eH9UB
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV3MGLgoi4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d1Yl6hxgC
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iWgDSvjW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGWMY3Jtnc
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uUs1MqtsP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9GpsyYs3u
假如鈴兒是錯的。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn3f0laVHN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UsXJwLSd7
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0XN9CV8ER
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhngNBNRX9d
「……你咩意思？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9qMRNatw
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2s07t2ljj
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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyS1ohnQVv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyi0Y6R0vI
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQ1MLceOo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6A6L3hWhS
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSC2GglOw
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkWrQe0uY
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJirMSOeVSj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfe7kh4JGN
「阡迴之門？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsmVVgAgAE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4R35YHd2Q
「跟我嚟。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXH5QsvjsP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F7cL036p1
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvIkwOUuLW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rLUT0jfjp
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLxVT2yz7Q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Tgp56sLG
「叮…叮……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLvwo8bQ7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WwChb8mCh
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPuiKUePTO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHc0Prsvn
「就會咁。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLfATp3bv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEslYjSacJ
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46wnCaKwW1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFLmy3iWLp
「係阡迴旅館？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3tsg8w3p
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn3x8UD9Jm
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whU9hlNTB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uhrEXtb5C
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr7AG9SIIv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA6oHI6qKS
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAanDVdMO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqn7w1T9hb
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONdlT93Tet
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0d53pju87
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoGPAQnELy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfh3giXdfJ
沒有回去常世的未來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjcKjFMfmT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9J95VJ8jL
「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！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF13qo2byv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAWWFzszfy
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ2UMM787x
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKpbZgSe5z
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3jpKix4Sf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPFCdEPhQU
可是，卻——146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbloSI3GA1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JE1boJdqM
「無。」鈴兒說。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj074lZAFev
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAyPZaci9S
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLerk3qnmd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHzWB2d8iF
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoY6Acxp1A
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1POednk9cf
「真心咩……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjkWaQPeP8
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBvg29uXl
「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？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk6jftT9OU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWMhIZI1Si
我一時間答不出來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvbFkAj5Y
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v2FogI5BE
回家？當然了，我想回家。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3HaLjxwdf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oeJK32clK
但之後呢？146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ8fFuBSXq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58g9VrdqPk
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？146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqM8HT1gF3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcPAjJTGmZ
我甚麼也不會成為的。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKc8udvMn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXso4CUQA
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？146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ICDejaofq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAVYdxlFgb
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD64uMezO7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJ1gV6FAj
「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。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUXT9DKGhA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5tbjcBPRU
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAGTlRv9Gg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TrzO770LK
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDOLvG3PtF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCDA2nX6Z4
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。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFh7mFJpjx
