把手吹乾後我推門而出,才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂,耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。153Please respect copyright.PENANAS4SQYAXQZN
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGVCBUeJrNq
「啲人呢……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAangSsAJWgl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVEwppJ3x3z
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳,那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物,它們還是暖的,牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著,紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上,一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。153Please respect copyright.PENANAfDrFba98vW
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbFjSioVUfj
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出:「喂!!有無人啊!!有無人係度啊!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAhE66oOywi2
153Please respect copyright.PENANA276xWxsxsV
「……係……度……啊……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAr8JxHadOYY
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFhGkJ0TFlU
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥,逢門就開,見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框,門後卻沒有阡迴旅館!153Please respect copyright.PENANAaepuFVsAgn
153Please respect copyright.PENANACHPuHBpVZ6
沒有,沒有,沒有!!門後沒有阡迴旅館!我被困在平行宇宙了?!153Please respect copyright.PENANA801D8NtUoD
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtx7JYgutug
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間,阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能,我們並非真正到達了未來,所以在「展示」結束後,這空間也開始消滅了嗎?!等等我還在這兒啊!153Please respect copyright.PENANA4CMy7UH7rh
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMue8Cx7hey
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外,外頭只是一片漆黑,連地面也不存在!整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中,我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消!153Please respect copyright.PENANA9ggEfO53VF
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAPOgl40hu5
現在怎麼辦,現在怎麼辦,我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎?153Please respect copyright.PENANAvf2QrUHzHr
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeLtJAnWBht
「喵~」153Please respect copyright.PENANANpcrVDy8js
153Please respect copyright.PENANAwkXvWf2O2N
「渺…渺渺?!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAuFuZwctqOP
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2U4tqTLCjq
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我,卻突然聽到貓叫聲。153Please respect copyright.PENANA4BTBCUKgjO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHTE60bPXLv
「叮鈴…」153Please respect copyright.PENANAl7ntGLSa2w
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4WTGyJhvxy
風鈴聲!真的是渺渺?還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了?!153Please respect copyright.PENANAhBKsuZ9VQ4
153Please respect copyright.PENANA33D7ZGeomE
「渺渺?!你係邊啊!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAdB3tpAicfg
153Please respect copyright.PENANAC14Uc31yIs
我站起來東張西望,卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。153Please respect copyright.PENANA5MJbzxRNdo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAlvZqCGa7wb
走廊盡頭有人!!153Please respect copyright.PENANAZgUjZdodlf
153Please respect copyright.PENANArgANKBgDDh
「……小姐!等陣!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAQTn4MSLg8V
153Please respect copyright.PENANADC2fNpjLTI
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞,繼續向走廊深處步去,不行,這兒就只有那個女生在了,不能放她走!!153Please respect copyright.PENANAuuHhGCUyff
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnITMIPDeFr
「等陣!!求下你,停一停!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAROLW3LUTTv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXhGtEJ7JWX
更可怕的事發生了,隨著我追向那女生,我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出!牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中,視野中的景深突然變長,走廊深似無盡,身後的昏暗正洶湧而至!153Please respect copyright.PENANAT5x6ITmQCo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPsjFlziXDg
不能……我不能停下腳步!這樣會被身後的虛空追上……153Please respect copyright.PENANAg41WIheyEq
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqXSaDhnIbe
等等,那人是!153Please respect copyright.PENANAJvdrPVnP2a
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMo2Zu3ZzSh
「鈴兒!!我係度啊!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANA56Goqy1sL1
153Please respect copyright.PENANA7xzL4d4Y1S
追……追不上!我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延,她就在視野之中,但我卻永遠追不上她!!153Please respect copyright.PENANAIqCUcbppuc
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEdtLL6OWem
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏!鈴!兒!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAd4sI7YbWHA
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXl7EZanE7Y
「砰!!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAJf62gUx59I
153Please respect copyright.PENANAw7N1nF3QHs
「哎呀!嗚…」153Please respect copyright.PENANA0sqEAjt90m
153Please respect copyright.PENANASMjR5y5lCA
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板,狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門:「鈴兒!」153Please respect copyright.PENANA6BNcIUxokg
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6WVwGsfPs8
「……我識得你?」153Please respect copyright.PENANAwPBHy8eqE9
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1zmrgJN8O
咦?153Please respect copyright.PENANAA4vPnFwZVf
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzxv5fdZKFo
等……等,哪兒來的門?我在哪兒?153Please respect copyright.PENANALIqpDiAJNQ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQGEhznozA3
氣喘如牛的我站直身,發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中,米白色的牆壁,灰色膠地板,還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。153Please respect copyright.PENANAMnEIwh6QMZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAp2NIC7fRmU
一看便知這是醫院。153Please respect copyright.PENANAeUBFtAxKCu
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbNNdl7Kwao
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講,真係嚇死我…」153Please respect copyright.PENANA5YtrRKNAyO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAjCBZAjBQO
「先生,我地唔識對方,就請唔好直接叫我個名。」153Please respect copyright.PENANA7X6YPVHOfI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVQofnxexyc
眼前的鈴兒,極之冰冷。153Please respect copyright.PENANAOLzgB6XffO
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqUmMvPffVD
「但係……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAoS82t4HuDz
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmudYbZazKH
她眼中沒有一絲光彩,沒有一絲生氣,只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵,甚至不知她是死是活。153Please respect copyright.PENANAWYbwfuEMRK
153Please respect copyright.PENANASMGmIyFLPS
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛,如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。153Please respect copyright.PENANAJvFIDDtM2O
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqe2ZgXqmpU
「我返去做野先。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAA8h01ZPzJE
153Please respect copyright.PENANASO9Fc0T1ix
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視,那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄,但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。153Please respect copyright.PENANAO91RxVPJiS
153Please respect copyright.PENANAztgIkACnBs
看著遠去的她,我完全摸不著頭腦,她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了?153Please respect copyright.PENANASqDT7VMLom
153Please respect copyright.PENANADgJTA9daXB
但馬上我就看出端倪了。153Please respect copyright.PENANAD8jsj2yrNY
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8tO3H4JZKr
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。153Please respect copyright.PENANAIvc7Fyj7jE
153Please respect copyright.PENANAaY47qtsoxb
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。153Please respect copyright.PENANAziVc6nKaIp
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtnFwQurT4b
這兒不是未來,不是現在,不是平行宇宙,更加不是阡迴旅館。153Please respect copyright.PENANAKfhWdRrr0a
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWrIQc2VT2l
這是過去,鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。153Please respect copyright.PENANA7nCOtGM2Mb
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjRGHjWTY9P
[13座 西翼4/F]153Please respect copyright.PENANA7OkN2Aahva
[安寧病房]
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXGEOEQ3Xw2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXoyGC6jL0z
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著,加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌,她是安寧病房的護士。153Please respect copyright.PENANApLQt5pfiKX
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfkfcW6at5p
才一想起剛剛她那神情,那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情,除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重,如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。153Please respect copyright.PENANAAHVukl9MPo
153Please respect copyright.PENANARuvo7lZAAf
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。153Please respect copyright.PENANAqKjqvFHfws
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYLdWd7veCK
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步,入住這兒非為了治療,而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦,使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著,能保有最後的尊嚴,而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。153Please respect copyright.PENANAoYH9lzU2EW
153Please respect copyright.PENANADLAJXcURcJ
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中,身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人,只要不動聲色就會自動被無視,即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉,所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。153Please respect copyright.PENANAmnDAzrM0pJ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAraVmy71ldd
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚,通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室,當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。153Please respect copyright.PENANAPbhjVsRd5u
153Please respect copyright.PENANALwMByOFzIl
「明白。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAhKKq285LLB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAhFemCnmyvd
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏,連悲慟都沒有,在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。153Please respect copyright.PENANA380tAnh0Oz
153Please respect copyright.PENANADTilaRTeu9
好冰冷,她的表情。153Please respect copyright.PENANAbsIWG4zODM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHgnjs1Hpcn
好陌生,她的身影。153Please respect copyright.PENANAoVPpcY0wUr
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8ven7tsnQa
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說:「我會通知工友Standby,盡快清好張床俾新病人。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAqGbk0tN8Sv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQhtvsrRSxf
「嗯,至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上,要多加注意。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAD6UBXOEVBq
153Please respect copyright.PENANALeJWGobQFJ
「等陣,聽日入住嘅新病人,點解……無資料?」153Please respect copyright.PENANApIz9Xco278
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuRWTJCo5il
「除左夏姑娘之外,大家都出返去做野先。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAb8k4u5Y7ET
153Please respect copyright.PENANAhOM4BS0XsI
「係。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAaKOGGjWSCL
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkYsueuSAeP
其他護士點點頭轉身離去,還順手關上門,我當然站在那兒繼續聽。153Please respect copyright.PENANAHTTeJEW4ej
153Please respect copyright.PENANACQfPqGktxi
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床,夏姑娘,我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAn7YO0WdvHJ
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsxJgAEyDqc
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。153Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuzvCfswr
153Please respect copyright.PENANAK45hcsrbNz
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘?」153Please respect copyright.PENANAv5skcTI1dh
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWyhs6swNSo
「我認為自己無需要知道,如果我有需要知道,護士長早就俾咗資料我。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7ol7pfdaz
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYBKxKEPQCd
「當然,但理由我希望自己親口講你知,你會主力負責佢,其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAs9o0sfKIQk
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWcsWq0Bn5b
「咁原因係咩?」153Please respect copyright.PENANA85fwHT8uKv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAABVbKm6qyC
護士長拿出一份文件:「你之前有無睇新聞?嗯,身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」153Please respect copyright.PENANA29SEm8Ghil
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbIVVExKPeW
「喵!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAIDT6QtvsSQ
153Please respect copyright.PENANA78XNqAJM4X
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺,我連忙低頭一看:「渺渺?!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAqejwhoZfik
153Please respect copyright.PENANApFNa4zqdJh
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出,在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨,然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去!153Please respect copyright.PENANAGEMlYENI7q
153Please respect copyright.PENANAH6eKhs3uRT
「渺渺,等埋我!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAfxE6N2JZn9
153Please respect copyright.PENANA65W8bF1G5Y
是來接我嗎?正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時,也是渺渺在引路,牠知道回去的路!153Please respect copyright.PENANAiGpu9JXY3V
153Please respect copyright.PENANAulOivIhYad
「渺渺!」153Please respect copyright.PENANA8P9y8nvw4D
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgnBHUbXyej
難得看到回去的希望,雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了,怎可能放渺渺跑掉!153Please respect copyright.PENANAYbZ5TQNc90
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAVTLTkmCF6
「渺渺!嘁……真係,肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快!?」153Please respect copyright.PENANAq5FDLg1scm
153Please respect copyright.PENANAu7J358jGoC
「喵哈?!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAEQFcyIeSWl
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWQoaEJ2MRT
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣,但還是在那兒等著我。153Please respect copyright.PENANA6a67aMvBSC
153Please respect copyright.PENANAOqknJUIX6V
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——153Please respect copyright.PENANAOeJLqkphg1
153Please respect copyright.PENANA9t6Q5U8A0l
「叮……叮……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAwNUheT2Sje
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8LGpt3jf1Y
風鈴聲,在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。153Please respect copyright.PENANAGP0WGYJrV4
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8qqRezmylu
「…嗄…呼…」153Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uh3XSsg14
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfcQljcSG73
深呼吸,閉上眼,我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽,聞聲辨位,試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。153Please respect copyright.PENANAmJlJFlcdYt
153Please respect copyright.PENANAVfjyIXPse6
風鈴聲,來自阡迴旅館。153Please respect copyright.PENANAS8PatkmysO
153Please respect copyright.PENANArc5ZqMJwWL
「叮……叮……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAprNxgd7cIf
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMC1K3DNYJK
鈴聲相當悅耳,閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中,青天白雲之下,屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。153Please respect copyright.PENANAqLmp7J1RV4
153Please respect copyright.PENANANOk21wgwN0
找到了!153Please respect copyright.PENANAhaA43ud1lg
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtrAN5jghDf
「喵!」153Please respect copyright.PENANAjqJimq47Ri
153Please respect copyright.PENANAB472HJ7j9j
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿,爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上,我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門!153Please respect copyright.PENANARn5wdywfJB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAOelb0HWEuu
光芒將我淹沒,待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。153Please respect copyright.PENANAISBdeNQo4R
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYkhqIcmd0C
回來……回來了!153Please respect copyright.PENANAVMiuhJA4Su
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWZKFDiM0Pn
「呼…呼…」153Please respect copyright.PENANAJcrNjj7DUO
153Please respect copyright.PENANASypVY0FC5V
定眼看四周,我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定?因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板,木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂,而這層沒有任何房間或門,就只有半開放的戶外空間。153Please respect copyright.PENANAF14vTbbofI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAltNRAwIqeH
「返嚟啦,溫年柏。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAWbxCEffyf2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnnxUtoxz4n
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台,露台朝西迎向夕陽,那兒鋪著榻榻米,放著一張矮桌和座墊,一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒,身穿白袍背對著我,一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。153Please respect copyright.PENANASWd2br4Kww
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsCxRzHtPw2
「你係……」153Please respect copyright.PENANAMQLsh7rBbq
153Please respect copyright.PENANAMYHrGoajWc
「熟人。」153Please respect copyright.PENANAkXgI8OrmQ1
153Please respect copyright.PENANAUPpTurvmin
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑,即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容,但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳,好像看到久違的老朋友一樣,盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
