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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAvE31YhY3IB
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hye2YeRcS
「啲人呢……」176Please respect copyright.PENANAyqCGVfWMQa
176Please respect copyright.PENANA003eEb4mZ4
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAlqBMrSt6xO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmOvfsyBoHy
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!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAzjjD0kdc0q
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGSRchresgg
「……係……度……啊……」176Please respect copyright.PENANAAScTg3L1Wt
176Please respect copyright.PENANAaKSURdOJVv
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAkHS1QahTi7
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxGOaT1Q7nC
沒有,沒有,沒有!!門後沒有阡迴旅館!我被困在平行宇宙了?!176Please respect copyright.PENANAXywezLUSFq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAii3ky7VJG0
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAz63Y4fIgvf
176Please respect copyright.PENANASbFAj1PpJY
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAys48JfMgYb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOBfrov6czl
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?176Please respect copyright.PENANAMPHrlpFDQb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Hv5x2ZfB
「喵~」176Please respect copyright.PENANAKoK4dV03i8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ8E9lF4Kc
「渺…渺渺?!」176Please respect copyright.PENANA1PvWUWuaH8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIWRydT0naI
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我,卻突然聽到貓叫聲。176Please respect copyright.PENANAe6h2LWRFxE
176Please respect copyright.PENANAM0PojOBiRO
「叮鈴…」176Please respect copyright.PENANAdKoOvQOxNV
176Please respect copyright.PENANAr2M2c1SS8x
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?!176Please respect copyright.PENANAYfQjjoNPNP
176Please respect copyright.PENANAC0X7wAgN3j
「渺渺?!你係邊啊!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAHBEW7VzfNk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPvSPwwSU9z
我站起來東張西望,卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。176Please respect copyright.PENANALcC4FQrbMS
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0FwIVe5b8i
走廊盡頭有人!!176Please respect copyright.PENANAOgATTCJD7S
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYkexLfTVgh
「……小姐!等陣!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAeY2WNDLEQa
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPkWiqwY5LK
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!!176Please respect copyright.PENANAM64vmvW6TO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvzM2xFJgJU
「等陣!!求下你,停一停!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAWlHRPiYUJ1
176Please respect copyright.PENANAarApcImOEZ
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAOZc6bHKh4U
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8jmedmg743
不能……我不能停下腳步!這樣會被身後的虛空追上……176Please respect copyright.PENANAkQy1EjfOCf
176Please respect copyright.PENANAfDTAptO5Nx
等等,那人是!176Please respect copyright.PENANAL5UKrpxxrm
176Please respect copyright.PENANAShxoDvKjwf
「鈴兒!!我係度啊!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAl9FWKXBUZK
176Please respect copyright.PENANAgAMda4pqeg
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!!176Please respect copyright.PENANASnBujzQ5bK
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjaqVgjmniA
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏!鈴!兒!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANACf8uyLagBu
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8hGLa6NR6i
「砰!!」176Please respect copyright.PENANA6RPKYzWGbh
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJpuMIBDK4J
「哎呀!嗚…」176Please respect copyright.PENANAv9IfHGCmv9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAc8myiHGw0y
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!」176Please respect copyright.PENANA5nSqO58RQO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtS1TReaL7O
「……我識得你?」176Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ysQLBdss
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtvdrv4YViv
咦?176Please respect copyright.PENANANVdVK60VLC
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyK2IMJxfpO
等……等,哪兒來的門?我在哪兒?176Please respect copyright.PENANA31XbnWRSMR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAG9UWfoZSKa
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANASYXoXTEVwH
176Please respect copyright.PENANAx65iMjvHH3
一看便知這是醫院。176Please respect copyright.PENANAUKXtgugFZm
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVepM7mt4qN
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講,真係嚇死我…」176Please respect copyright.PENANAUYvpT2miTx
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPHtICpEuNr
「先生,我地唔識對方,就請唔好直接叫我個名。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAS3xHUULmrd
176Please respect copyright.PENANADTPWjcBVrS
眼前的鈴兒,極之冰冷。176Please respect copyright.PENANAvGovUly7fU
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOG01kmwmQB
「但係……」176Please respect copyright.PENANAFtQ7GN6Xyt
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZVWE0MFI0V
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAhIHOka5DuU
176Please respect copyright.PENANASzfYOxqXsE
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAIr2OFplrVQ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJulMS9rRza
「我返去做野先。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAN1NYwbz1Go
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOS5Jg7fI1U
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAfuuo87u2bR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEbYEq4OqSv
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?176Please respect copyright.PENANAqwMgiDr6Xa
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWwRrFLx5EW
但馬上我就看出端倪了。176Please respect copyright.PENANAbPlf4IqqJr
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZXhp9AbsTk
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。176Please respect copyright.PENANACvKg40aus6
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXSfZj49Y79
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。176Please respect copyright.PENANAgXXpATTVJH
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxBdvukvkXb
這兒不是未來,不是現在,不是平行宇宙,更加不是阡迴旅館。176Please respect copyright.PENANAmrxgDI0Gsp
176Please respect copyright.PENANAiiuvEtQZgQ
這是過去,鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。176Please respect copyright.PENANAu2pvHIIhAO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAk3RaLxzImf
[13座 西翼4/F]176Please respect copyright.PENANAo1txqxME8Z
[安寧病房]
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMoPfBY9vph
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYD7g44BMMx
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAswmghNisoP
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHsAhOJUAZj
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAAaQrzrhVa9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOaxAgyCpif
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。176Please respect copyright.PENANAOFX7PFHEfr
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJfv2OpKTPE
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANA1TI2yYkeg9
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdF6KXYUBCU
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANABSoUfzyGnd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAiToqn8Llu7
「……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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAR9VZNKFEde
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2KGbbpl5NM
「明白。」176Please respect copyright.PENANA0wYJrN8kQz
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1UU61SIIeV
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANA4UCKf0oP4f
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEx6tQUPo5N
好冰冷,她的表情。176Please respect copyright.PENANAoykfWoyaEO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGXAP2Bl1S4
好陌生,她的身影。176Please respect copyright.PENANAX8U1dcMxqh
176Please respect copyright.PENANAc29kjDfiwW
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。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAUIYKvOot6P
176Please respect copyright.PENANALXDL26WbAf
「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。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAHLPoHYEPjo
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6WR36aTzqK
「等陣,聽日入住嘅新病人,點解……無資料?」176Please respect copyright.PENANAq0m2qbfYFl
176Please respect copyright.PENANASRlTunEfAn
「除左夏姑娘之外,大家都出返去做野先。」176Please respect copyright.PENANANOQD4ZjVz8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXVXEomL8u1
「係。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAbBy8qfV9bQ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAReI2mbuOcL
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAxym6hFuUAR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMycuYFLyII
「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。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAJAHtyXZv87
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQSDO66gXBo
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。176Please respect copyright.PENANAg40gcnsb9z
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmfhVybveT8
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘?」176Please respect copyright.PENANA2z2BURYKmN
176Please respect copyright.PENANAg4pRhUmrAs
「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。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAe78Z64fjSW
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0zdeQxzPct
「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。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAjph8ytyNKM
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0k6GVAYMgY
「咁原因係咩?」176Please respect copyright.PENANAIXwhz4Ewan
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGOHZeNwQNI
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……」176Please respect copyright.PENANA1gaxrn8Yt8
176Please respect copyright.PENANALi5dwasDnB
「喵!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAPOPWNCiJsW
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9pDUBiJv8Y
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?!」176Please respect copyright.PENANANCztEm5qgs
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlkNaO9krNN
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAcnJkvyD5Hm
176Please respect copyright.PENANANjGYwX64TE
「渺渺,等埋我!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAMaK5KapNwC
176Please respect copyright.PENANAofIco73pDy
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAlJga6t3I7M
176Please respect copyright.PENANAcZD3ZYcOXo
「渺渺!」176Please respect copyright.PENANARQ7pXpEkWx
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIS4BkVgWGL
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANAWo5tk35QXD
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeIttsMMwit
「渺渺!嘁……真係,肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快!?」176Please respect copyright.PENANAsgoz7L6Sjo
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnxPvXw27Hu
「喵哈?!」176Please respect copyright.PENANAv9UuD8lVKP
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2X2sQLPN4M
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣,但還是在那兒等著我。176Please respect copyright.PENANAqh7Z41ZHNH
176Please respect copyright.PENANAA9RwAYBvp7
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——176Please respect copyright.PENANAi0p9WiEVw0
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rh0UayFKv
「叮……叮……」176Please respect copyright.PENANAmo8y3dbGGJ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmRnrzoHca0
風鈴聲,在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。176Please respect copyright.PENANA9RjEClaXjc
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzcJL0cGsuR
「…嗄…呼…」176Please respect copyright.PENANA9GnbiklkOg
176Please respect copyright.PENANADxyokroxTd
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAaMfnmKFHCf
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuJrjNMotIo
風鈴聲,來自阡迴旅館。176Please respect copyright.PENANA5J4FF2KL6l
176Please respect copyright.PENANANLIqhSU5kp
「叮……叮……」176Please respect copyright.PENANA0pYcxLZWwb
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6wOXtRNWjX
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAfKZegzYnzB
176Please respect copyright.PENANAC81fAYltUS
找到了!176Please respect copyright.PENANAv8lmpbPfvF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ2Y1g3Acy
「喵!」176Please respect copyright.PENANABTetVDG52B
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8dcmXOysWn
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!176Please respect copyright.PENANABKG16ilTQs
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8FBfzAY3C
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZoCYNm8ob
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYgtdwMFIYx
回來……回來了!176Please respect copyright.PENANAasLqep20kX
176Please respect copyright.PENANA8ISRfAynGv
「呼…呼…」176Please respect copyright.PENANAbQyIuwhJiu
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuoxBYTK6gS
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANAr2UJyeV0LA
176Please respect copyright.PENANATydyNmD37z
「返嚟啦,溫年柏。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAKGfgKa6kIl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJwnyztMtDN
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。176Please respect copyright.PENANADuMb4T7T7y
176Please respect copyright.PENANAz9uzOgpxbK
「你係……」176Please respect copyright.PENANAJU7IqOvteZ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAV2bBzvAh8r
「熟人。」176Please respect copyright.PENANAFF6wi99f9j
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEwB5zw7IAz
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。
