「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrFwU69YF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqt4AX3h2T
「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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHcGG6I6b8
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0aZu6MzQ
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKP6l8rl8Z
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYukMxra8i
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILYI90eZD6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpLxZrYnoX
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh7al6lkdX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U77mwonJq
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH6B5c6vTJ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DpEUoQU82
卻使我心頭一震！180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC14cFDVOnx
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT8MnDf5Ow
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrY7Pv45kE
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvMP5hqSR
甚麼解鈴之人。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMBZ6t3tOA
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdiv8fPETu
「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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY062SPYOz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27LQJoMVcr
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60aDpy4nT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYNPrIzcmD
「我無。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8rsxghnPn
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrzyBNZp0m
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUahGMZ8CvX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6en2DIdiYc
「鈴兒……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbPI7rltma
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMrO58sy6
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQS9eppdML
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbZXfvxF3Y
「你真係無事？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ngHj45lR
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn4MhtBQnV
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPgJGN6tx
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEJKr6K1Fw
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cJFulmER
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YU6jj0G7R
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv702ogSVu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrIKVDgOcT
「明……明白。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zARnmqR7B
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RNwGqS6xh
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！180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxPXOw3iV4
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6kyAnqk7H
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPwBbalOga
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ2wSIhK5t
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCK5F2d0W0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIh7L7Flzj
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sSETpvf9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRADT4VyTF
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1OfVv8UlW
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWRMySDQM3
「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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJF3tqINIh
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKPsqSf8Pi
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL1rQHtQEh
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMwGvfCG3
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hLBHj6l2C
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp7omPGCG5
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNqeHS7er
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEffbJJrGA
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwiQFPyZe
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Yh1f2ymD
「好。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGszHulVzG
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdym0uWR6r0
沙漏中的沙被停下。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd9dH0Hizr
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUioNY2ODy
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqjoruwq2j
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugR5KmHIrG
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGTSASEx0U
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7c0GivTH
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyvlZfb68f
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T8hXwtu2d
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Tt8xWnAJ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqGoi0jOhp
「呃……呃……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0K62bAuV2
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsvdF2xNFD
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoVmaXYYu0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhZTXPWPno
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLwMF0l8GX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnsTNkvDr9
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig1AI7QG4L
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe2cAW0tti
「……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZA485iYKk
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedCSdmnN1
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hkOaVX5Tt
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKN7H53u1g
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5vm5EyG8h
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GF1KCX5Ei
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP51AjE1ai
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkyxiQUEmT
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZO0tRPM0b
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xSnBAw6Lc
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL20bArUI49
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGLyHNzCd
假如鈴兒是錯的。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPysjWhDJZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0RWNrKNcI
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0NHv24HN
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6206PeRM31
「……你咩意思？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe7aVdac2H
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV0HgLoYSY
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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxganrOCh6
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbooCCXej9
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9FvWR0Btv
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKR92FmvQ8
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCOPysYMrE
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVVyTt0ltt
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZjWjvBCLl
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4p8z8yWp
「阡迴之門？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhQwSy4u38
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijJZ9IOesg
「跟我嚟。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakRjFePvG0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHBBqutsa
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEGUkpxXo7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjbYg008wg
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt5QDiqKZJ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBH39bfs6Q
「叮…叮……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUYsnsTPfr
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWCGIArvEi
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtiMmHfCgX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NZaNqYNc6
「就會咁。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qjG2am7nm
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQSXsWcjBS
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDzDBEqrXz
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1BzCKZghM
「係阡迴旅館？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfI2RIREl5
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PHtWref8
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W4ZBT6FJr
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16gb43aFV
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTCbW31hhX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBOx7v3tZt
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtaWl9s1YZ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5PmeLfUJ9
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmAs30E0fA
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmmdWyMj0z
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ofSmKQebr
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLKVW86rf
沒有回去常世的未來。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9mAccMLZe
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr7THUiAeo
「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！」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUZThD0FaU
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEbwJbcSy
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIzSSE8gf
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFFScI02U2
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oWXggj5Y4
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuF5omGki
可是，卻——180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAb7Z1tm7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmrSfgNzoS
「無。」鈴兒說。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0km9kEDhB8
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjQaBOferh
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpivYgfCPt7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBctSWpwwGA
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgQa9Zkfdu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8BVkyXSxf
「真心咩……」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwbyNrZhnO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQUcSbnuc
「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？」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaSYFnGRu
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdL8U3Coc6
我一時間答不出來。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DzRSPcpp8
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzQcgBZMNv
回家？當然了，我想回家。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2DloQFY7c
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut4ynqdL6o
但之後呢？180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MVF9HxU0g
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEiIbuTfM1
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？180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZRTWiqQAT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQ6xYeU2X
我甚麼也不會成為的。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lRLweSmYo
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UIroSxHIL
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？180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGRfKJ6VSe
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKOcr8xLXA
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLscKiP91n
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gcGNlqls
「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。」180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoey1sLQCKm
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu4S990ml5
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Imkrjhxr
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yCmXzR2ai
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGU4m5lHX0
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lNDgq4cH5
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。180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SEHXDJDgR
