「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6eiLwk8Y3
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMiufUpLP4
「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？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBWnF4w3w
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdSib93Cbl
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkhUaDcGzJ
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJ5hsjpxF
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZdooDNMpf
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXvZF2ICnc
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiox3XmRm7
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZthEhxDBbL
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlUp0MZrbX
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSgL3h84NV
卻使我心頭一震！144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC057emMk9q
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCcuP0CFE5
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpmA00foW
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPfeL5tSLC
甚麼解鈴之人。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBsJD5HtLH
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKIwfbGJn
「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？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKRa6bxhQv
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzJuriktNp
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHRVH3gNYM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw3su2Jf9O
「我無。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFBAxIwCmg
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp51jVme2P
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Gk5ZysWt
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh3Hi9Cs45
「鈴兒……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRGaYhWsta
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSrSMVBamv
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3cu2UZCBg
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfPz1aOvJ
「你真係無事？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgpq6g7HXy
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2vazBGI9P
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUAALiS9lN
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdpEr2CQWW
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spLun3j23
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcSUqaPuL
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QscYLyj9Q
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZnxf8lxK
「明……明白。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN379Nrzgpf
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRE4jE037v
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！144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYO9xGysDF
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU7coGalpW
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCBoCo8kMZ
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zwK4Vu1Td
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c4nv15mnP
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxgYf3HRQy
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin6szIOps0
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8BdzhkgRb
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwcHjp4rd
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FyT2QIR5w
「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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRdn0fgSYW
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANeO1Ay3eU
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsBzl8JPDh
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TgDLaM2lz
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElkGuHTZdc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJN03ufk3h
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNvqAFzpOu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZwQOBOXa0
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Jr1ZZMiE
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39KP7todD2
「好。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqYvsS5XEb
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iWsAAkrkt
沙漏中的沙被停下。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EMlr3VRFZ
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MS8IPwjU0
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnGsaV5wuk
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFOB2kx5gU
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9nD90J7t
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuioQ39YUw9
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPzdS6hRsx
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbiWOwyfNE
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvkACPuHQq
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbRXIKAjK
「呃……呃……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYEx0nHq5r
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjivdgLRWT
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AhPyBOEtk
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVDUJYJzd2
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3987vXiim4
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA6O8Iy2ey
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH793bOti4
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b3GyPftjb
「……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcUwHPARBp
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx4vjX7nAZ
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2yZ4OjUHM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2chUvG1S7
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbTbaEtD4y
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZ1Zabd6f
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZayudb1i5
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjDLf0Ms7t
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mu8XFK8e2
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitO6zhg1GE
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHFGjaoL5K
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDJDoeLsSx
假如鈴兒是錯的。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjplqm7mXH
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgiCkieBC
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk89n3SYLw
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAETcExeOOn
「……你咩意思？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjA9MX9lM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRCE1sVoSh
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？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dyt01PtWm
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnORvlfGCL
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJonnVevgZo
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL5Wg6CYV2
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr54B5RBaFB
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg70fGnc1Zs
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW7zfhi9hA
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXTksXtRk
「阡迴之門？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7GoHjF14
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe75KMzYdJE
「跟我嚟。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs6swx7wBr
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNzWICRnyL
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeJi3gsXqM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofboBlcWL
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDnL655ANq
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkqbYS4IVB
「叮…叮……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaYlyXyFft
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORQEPZ3is
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObCljz0gs
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxJMeuxkKg
「就會咁。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdId2q0rzvE
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOCFeFUJ9I
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3K27qeVu8
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV7tcNQR4p
「係阡迴旅館？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7dqbTc2er
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AEH7vE8re
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjh1AOoAFj
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe349dPZb3
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4brqqttGyc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXcMEMbFh
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUZcKYGQu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyk8qLpDKY
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RO4epWE3F
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGc239fwi
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5GVr1mOb6
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT28X2Cvj7
沒有回去常世的未來。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJ17MYkOV
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudoEqSGAmQ
「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！」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16qNaYVg1R
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPwzBThHFp
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK0j6NqNeZ
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnhXfwYnez
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY87R0Olqu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMZl5OFuK
可是，卻——144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFzQSQkWBu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mobs7CAch
「無。」鈴兒說。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD7o1Xgzdy
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeT4QLU6Ep
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vSpXdVCmZ
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DNyoMKJIB
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a3e7HXsOi
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKyuw7DQj
「真心咩……」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSN6t8gO9w
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38xUSI4syn
「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？」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7UDbHyMC
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMpBoU7oI8
我一時間答不出來。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkW1VXKNrB
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEKtl9YiGk
回家？當然了，我想回家。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbJNA2PzRB
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRu917tXs
但之後呢？144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlo1YFkeqc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiDt86dQ3p
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？144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgcOSA7Pvv
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYxG9iPu2v
我甚麼也不會成為的。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NIVMJrbhL
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeyvFj2ePH
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？144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgqALfHtGL
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmig8ZpLlR
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc1WkTpoZc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk0YhtupDv
「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。」144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOXxDQqfZj
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N30kphkqz
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMupNqIUPV
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9qeXpZLx3
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpERSSjKCV
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSQfVwJUjg
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。144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkov0CeocRA
