「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpFmI3CcQL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jnveKShJS
「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？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktjc7WFG3X
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqACTTZTg
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vkOqry5bT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTbHlDWq8j
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf84Dr49uvA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOBIpk2Dd6
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmfBb52M7a
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9jZBSiOJ
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwBMCHKywy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWDSEuKIh
卻使我心頭一震！240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVeLcl5T9H
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCczeURxVUm
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIdKX5UnRx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2XrFHdUvK
甚麼解鈴之人。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxntBD4Izr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47YOBPQYCt
「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？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MqSxvMQHF
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKA88sJYc7
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcSA9TBOS3
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbL6ca6na6
「我無。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwijkqyGgR
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEmuQxeoQC
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTUzIIt3d
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggiHDsd1ie
「鈴兒……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWL9ICTQ1B
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2eFrCWkrq
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG08fD3mi8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6I3woRRn
「你真係無事？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtmT5AFRyY
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURxRP5CY19
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJmhhvq7A
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraVvb90Ct
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyd36qdKkr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmHKSIwSER
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm4vBz4DeP
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU6pVmYTC3
「明……明白。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKC1ztXUlw
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWnIXQieNk
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！240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8NnR6Ih2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xfuT73dE
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNvVglYop3
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh2sutrTzK
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCWnSCMUTD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRRokCoa2B
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdv2RGSc1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2P5i0FnSO
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXAESUdW1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BBinphYtI
「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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUajCYb7W
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YNDOse1F
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCvOCOoEdQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzq9jT2mbH
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbfZg7Qjb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJiKDao99T
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdPS6c3WCz
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXw9sVivw
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICUy7wqBcC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii79wxL6HX
「好。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y3MPxMdM0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYM2IFU04H
沙漏中的沙被停下。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2VEeufq7m
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t0mrJD2C8
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UnpIcUFJG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34766Ru5XQ
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q4OSum67t
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYy6B2iA7y
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7DA4a27L
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yhLZHJZv
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcAYDf2E9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TehM5aQAA
「呃……呃……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbjYNY9AOW
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY60NivbVG
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nUDmirh4
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj4B6bvP1e
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJN8BvyA1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYps6iSbo8
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38EUth3res
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnrhevr4Kv
「……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOY2xgcHkf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhtTVx6eyx
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafg2NfIXI1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0JviZsGNA
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CoJ8lCF1T
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf79ozmQwB
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtVwDCkUz2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHn2VnECBc
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulsYvUljBe
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GCNs6kYsC
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aGpf4l8gZ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUj3egN00e
假如鈴兒是錯的。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBtWhmBU2o
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwoJkOUFmr
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0qgxGhTad
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOVY7GgAA3
「……你咩意思？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyArnBuMPDW
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNFo4f7bO0
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？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFuu0TlxuG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0sSKmERku
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtPu3XKL3u
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dF4kFNbae
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDYyB7sts
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvaXj7crGw
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJdKKgm71M
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQQ2OY2Bz
「阡迴之門？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2LHn17xyJ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVmGOwvnRi
「跟我嚟。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS9o3k4CXq
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRVw14aeh2
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gRwY21rfK
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ho3WEmneE
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SU4uJf8vp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbT0Iz5PLF
「叮…叮……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTqPbiBP1L
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49qCZm7Hlm
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkTSCEInnb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUtu5wfHr
「就會咁。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GeJuL4MaF
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWEoyPrmm
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHQUZvZ6i0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYARmo3ymn
「係阡迴旅館？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqOtcxuPPd
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDS9opnNPb
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchaTTlz6R7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZh3lwwY1g
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMlNqtsSg
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxa2skTsj1
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtneblSZj2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8vVzDjLLQ
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8uje9kAG8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7CZmZg7rs
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV3V7Fa9xs
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGH7w8OyW6
沒有回去常世的未來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W4VW2iSQW
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJMFSfIUp
「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！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZc9mTJnQB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzxNCGlhnS
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YYr37cAtY
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl5bBVJb1T
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOJXfg3P2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KvppGWAqt
可是，卻——240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoULXSB587
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUgE58SQ1E
「無。」鈴兒說。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLNQrlKTYS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEGvXYU3Mg
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt67SzZNRb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAv3iZ4xs1
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhaDPXfVUE
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzK6Cur7eh
「真心咩……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjOVHucLOj
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBHhdg5mgt
「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？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTElBwhuMK
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e7Dx3z44z
我一時間答不出來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVdYGGBC2h
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbvEEQI2NZ
回家？當然了，我想回家。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMxJg18fdK
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEYlsGqf7z
但之後呢？240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1io04Lxbv
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwEknsh4D
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？240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08wBOGh7ql
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLZeAzosbQ
我甚麼也不會成為的。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSSbbsIiZR
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekwqhl6UYu
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？240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0f3V7eSe9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNQD9pzUmf
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahwXKnUQcf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4nwVB11PR
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BGXliHgBZ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aklyLEb8J
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjjQvtmOmY
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwp7mKKR4e
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z9Tg0ghMy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOau1BTWjR4
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqiV59SBAq
