愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3E4F9Eql
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf4MudJBmF
但準確來說，是前攝影師。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG4QbjgVWd
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu638vNvZ6
「全職做攝影師而養得活自己嘅人唔多……好可惜，愛莉唔係其中之一。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI053RpSQfp
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4LqoMcQUB
鈴兒帶我來到了天井下的接待處，從抽屜中拿出一張相片，上面都是鈴兒和大家在阡迴旅館中的日常照。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7HRR13AHe
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qz0tAd4zt
雖然不是甚麼美輪美奐的服飾背景，但從構圖，光影，看得出愛莉精準地捕捉了大家的身姿。笑著的鈴兒，彼此碰杯的阿力與阿倫，伏在鈴兒胸前撒嬌的渺渺……愛莉的相片之中滲透著日常感，看畢後有種心中暖洋洋的感覺。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlDMYqeH46
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1BIyb9J59
「好靚係唔係？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf99uNEvvVr
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGSzLEsBhr
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBQYoFQUEo
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPjMTH5Uo
「愛莉嘅影相技術無異係真材實料，但係想喺香港做一個全職攝影師實在太難，唉。」鈴兒嘆一口氣道，「所以佢亦無辦法，只有向現實低頭，做返會計。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWNmGdAWN1
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mAMqfXNbJ
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna43GPGNiD
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZyOAC0Xe9
「嗯，仲無晒私人時間添。」鈴兒說，「佢係某晚OT到凌晨，忍唔住話落街買咖啡，結果走咗去天星碼頭旁邊忍唔住對住個海喊。又唔想返上去寫字樓，又唔可以一走了之，因為要靠份工生活……」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qeZFmbOcF
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S3CkZIXtU
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdfcJzzPSK
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWmynAek5
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7xKxBeEk
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuRyRO3iqw
「返去嘅理由…」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGfNCWHM9q
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6kwCn1RDQ
「之後係大廈入面蕩失路，搵唔到升降機大堂，行出大廈只見到阡迴旅館，愛莉就係咁樣嚟到呢度。」鈴兒說。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hv5t5On7T
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFFpsMZVnA
我搖頭道：「唔怪得佢唔想返去，係度佢可以盡情影相，又唔使擔心生計，我係佢都唔走。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwGZBTD5kx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nAyylCUp
「當然，但問題就係呢度：留係阡迴旅館之中，無論留幾耐都好，佢永遠無可能成為真正嘅攝影師。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaK9zqWWCa
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStvqnGVNpT
我心中一沉。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Zw0e0Qya
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhVa44ZusD
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFmlSv8Qsx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28WINDsL7n
這兒沒有時間流動，雖然我們不會老去不會疲累，但也意味著在阡迴旅館中沒有成為更好版本自己的可能。阡迴旅館內時間是停滯的，所以人生也會定格在這兒。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCO8wf9wD3
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYcSPXftfS
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafmQbIRpvL
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OH2prNmz9
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03mcnnDUpv
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpTt4wmj3U
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnzxDAXdEg
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7cuNioXD
「唔緊要，係我同阿柏早咗到。反正我地呢度唔缺時間啦。」鈴兒馬上擺出開朗的樣子，果然在這笑容下是一顆體貼，溫柔的細膩內心。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPXiKSZpbJ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZVsOXeX6Z
「我始終想再睇多次。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mrz20JPHT
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdKM95NJy
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhinK2ADI
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEs4ngSUwJ
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KJuse7XB
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuqzkn32Uo
按鈴兒剛剛所說，她就是要使用名為「阡迴之門」的權能，通往時間和平行宇宙…？242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCNnyIct4s
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNUTKcHfSM
甚麼跟甚麼。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtnUqTIWQr
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuge29SxrE
「阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯之處，即使係唔同時間線嘅平行宇宙都包括在內。身為職員嘅我，就係要負責為住客打開阡迴之門，令佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfobptwLW0
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYamN8Tf5U
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwb3kID3v5
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfhRL5cxYu
「例如——」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJL5G5o725
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2FU02PcW
隨她優雅的腰姿擺動往前走，鈴兒腳下的地板突然如泛起漣漪般輕晃，她別著的風鈴髮飾奏鳴出清脆的聲音。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn5Sr6Vwd9
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh78yMAHnW
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7M7KaiEN
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOok7BGXVq
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdk1QIOaI
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAmID9d4lT
「嗯，行呢邊。」鈴兒張開眼回首微笑，然後信步往迴音最為深厚的角落走去。的確很明顯聽得到迴音從這邊傳來，原來風鈴是用來定位的方法。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlpvjfslkz
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3picCxEC
我們穿過天井下的大堂，迴音的殘響言猶在耳，天井化成巨大的共鳴箱，每隔幾步殘響都會再次掠過中庭，提醒我們前進的方向。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmEAtna4b
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GIscTAkr
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrQvrulyC4
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSQ05OkIF5
「Hall 2B？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9aSjwpsGx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG8AWUPs5i
這門的風格與阡迴旅館的室內設計格格不入，金屬邊框加上噴砂銅面相當歐式，門柄還是木雕花的長形原木，能看到木紋在凹凸浮雕上起伏。在門的正中央，以秀麗的英文寫上「Hall 2B」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FL8KwnblT
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3bGWoOVWM
「阡迴之門會複製出目的地嘅一扇門，之後穿過去就可以到達目的地。」鈴兒按著門把，「準備好？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9IHP738Fr
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVSe7OIIx
我點點頭：「嗯。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ngDmd062
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMDedPwnP
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGxlCRlaRC
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7yyWu5D6
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2jOLGHzS
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lrBSOkFoA
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgpRUNx0J
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV9iyytt5D
「嘎——」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWhJjUe80l
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpsX89Bm8
鈴兒推開阡迴之門，我們三人魚貫地通過，門的後方竟然不是阡迴旅館的任何一個空間，而是一個宴會現場！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWLY5i1vZY
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlXlkHFRr7
「呢度……！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhNEFLIQbJ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0t8bSMpP
舞台前方大排筵席，人們都衣香鬢影，一桌又一桌的大圓桌旁坐著各國籍的各色人種，但他們都穿得相當體面，男的穿西裝燕尾服，女的穿晚裝裙子。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvks7fBbjO4
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQgQpldzxt
啊糟糕了雖然未搞清這是怎麼回事，但我穿著很舒服但絕不適合這兒的鬆身外套和運動褲……242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUpDtylNTw
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fhkzUXMDt
「咦？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRsbbRcnyU
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fbyft54TZ
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07RzPbGGQQ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEACTCnOEv
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJfbn5iZU
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbxwL51Wr
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyupp1WZ5mB
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnh5J5CPjc
鈴兒穿上了酒紅色的長尾晚裝裙，高根鞋上的黑絲襪與晚裝長手襪互相呼應，而愛莉就穿上了橙色的晚裝裙加上優雅的長披肩。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VoLUaxz7j
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneGrxqOrSx
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhTmoII7L
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGQUc4vfSa
我回首看看剛才穿過的門，剛好有一名侍者穿門而出，可以看到門後已經變回了酒店金碧輝煌的大堂，絕非古色古香的阡迴旅館。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmr3Hs4vX
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7iMeZzkir
「呢度係……」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CsPLdXBM
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruqQ4NS2Iz
環顧四周，我馬上看到舞台上的英文標題：世界新聞攝影基金會頒獎典禮，這倒算了，但最嚇人的是後面的年份。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOsuhUGUvW
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0WOZGT2Xq
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmrOAdaNWP
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJM6rSmGm5
鈴兒說：「年份無寫錯，呢度係未來，應該話係多如恆河沙數無數個未來之中嘅其中一個。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5y30pu1g
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K2Cs9fhg2
「世界新聞攝影比賽，係世界上其中一個最重要嘅攝影比賽，同美國嘅普立茲獎齊名。但係後者主要係美國人先可以參加，所以……呢度可以話係攝影記者嘅殿堂。」愛莉雙眼閃閃發亮。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvzySX05y1
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySa7if9Bh
「各位先生女士，請大家就座，好快我地今晚嘅典禮就會正式開始。」舞台上出現同樣穿著西裝的主持人，他以英文發言，附近的人聞言也紛紛和正在聊天聚首的人暫時別過，然後坐回自己的座位上。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfyH5j55nJ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOj59rLew0
就在那瞬間，我看到了。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5XOIOKdCx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0X4GutIz
主舞台前方的一張圓桌旁，一個女士與男伴坐下。那女士不是誰，正是我們身邊的愛莉！但是看年紀似乎年長些許，旁邊那個男人與她也表現親密，無名指上的婚戒……是他的丈夫！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrFsHqD6eW
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKq5yjmLOB
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJXh5gRjx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpKOe9Hgy7
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2GhHqEpI
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfFS4S3Wt
這種場合都是預先分配好座位的吧，我們身為從阡迴旅館而來的人怎麼辦？242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFYNX1sTBh
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrypGei24q
「我地行呢邊。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYvF3GfkG
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahabpiRBNj
鈴兒領著我們逆人潮而上，賓客回到舞台前的座位，我們離舞台而遠去，如同逆著時間流而上一樣。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmKkhjIDRA
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DE8RewpwB
就在我們再次穿門而過前。我卻看到那兒年長的愛莉正回首看著我們的方向！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVu88vB9Qm
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7bi2GxiOc
「嘎——」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJsrZRCoZg
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJkKNgknS
穿過大門，我們卻沒有回到阡迴旅館，而是回到了同一個宴會廳！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfWzy4eckt
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3tMEHzovN
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSZQsAm8N5
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrr48kCzoX
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp0D5P37k3
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DB9QdyVI
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n7noVQU29
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHCkOVb0rC
鈴兒繼續前進，剛好我們這邊的門旁邊有著另一扇門，我們馬上又鑽進去。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jqb5zyEsf
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV17CVqfre
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXHMCAnkgr
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsj7XI9E6
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFUeCMtUeY
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAjxWu1AhW
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHz58zxsVi
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRi9eiIN2H
每次穿過門，舞台旁邊的愛莉其打扮都會有些許不同，或是頭髮長了，或是晚裝變了款式，或是頸飾的長度不同，而她身邊的同伴也會男女老幼變個不停，其中一次最離譜是她肩膊上繼續坐著一隻鸚鵡。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovQPvkVzUK
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENnYqImwNm
但唯有那一句不變。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfhemdWuy
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWspCAZWZb
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ZgcF0613
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3Dqgu47i
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
