「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlQjmmZcOl
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWgJbvEYiR
「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？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8nlhopgn
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55WZ85Nkm3
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpw1wrgkH6
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnuvTS2SLN
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrhBnZ4rxE
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQK1PYO3CD
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zPA6CvN7M
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBlO7A91k
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGv50zfkk5
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6aI6JjcqN
卻使我心頭一震！121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhwp30T3S
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba72cm1eCD
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmf6uhwWC
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92UUrUr6yM
甚麼解鈴之人。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfSiXhhlsS
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu81MiPADrR
「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？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb44rLHBZxw
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ9TOP49Vz
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUlsGCRTj
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDO5qGmyYP
「我無。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml2t9PJ8RU
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145wBI0r1c
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul42pqUwiQ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aLkEX4oC2
「鈴兒……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYGVYcxQL4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21z0RWhH3
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZAeexhak
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5429xTa5
「你真係無事？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDligq8VLsD
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhfImoyrU7
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZA9JWXYHX
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7c1nFHwi
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClISJdsRG4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaOKU7NF2Z
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73lWoyVBCr
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ti4EJh8wG
「明……明白。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFFulEj6ID
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwqqXk3bp2
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！121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBWcIkJISk
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjUNDvEsR
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsAq8lQ1re
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVLgTkwALB
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw0wG5UweS
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgagWUCtBp9
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IcD1VKPgZ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwZYee2L2R
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S3qc5MXd2
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HPsHsZkbD
「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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJsUbHCKzM
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyPDgb0o6N
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswzuDWX5Q3
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyfsSQrgdW
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTIi2RHDv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaduB3r9EOa
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEOogZ3zQ4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw5DSnvKAj
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAnlB8WXaG
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzbe6yseaZ
「好。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7EB86lLhj
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4bWgHfAe
沙漏中的沙被停下。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J1UAuON2t
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrHoodagog
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5FXkyiSV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMjFdc3dLP
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnSGHmy0fv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNtM7VthUw
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwExYIcxCTF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiANHEond1Q
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzcry3a0zO
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pchHiKL5A
「呃……呃……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmfjWXs60i
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIE6lU8odf
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtlHuO8Fhd
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNpRDf3OCd
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi4tRFR5yv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uM4vhdXYm
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvTgskfQX
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIPQByjuWk
「……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25HevDon2o
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd69T3ZT3tz
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPATQcX2W
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWzZEhzJn
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSlwyttbmt
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToyUIHdnfo
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec7nksg4Um
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8iPrFNQe
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjqc9FIMx
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lvCrdDNkx
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo9Ho0FB9l
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdnd0dWstv
假如鈴兒是錯的。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡighz4NQn7F
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ3YXCjnDN
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMUTLh275Z
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA68sNWIjf
「……你咩意思？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf8jymY5xV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUdtSd4kuT
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？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSVQqbSwYQ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxa9tzfTEJ
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ013L1SSfBc
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EfOmgOxaZ
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOkn5Ys6ug
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAoDC2G39D
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxY5Rrt35M
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsleam4ydsN
「阡迴之門？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO4Q0gu91j
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87RSQvJn6V
「跟我嚟。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aiFAs9fAA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVC502Z4v
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynedA8tODA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YMPb1fMA
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48KQzTrl7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KOVQzb5YO
「叮…叮……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H0vNsAHD7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bwNRmSr1
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmypqKC7hv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrL5H7N2dy
「就會咁。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxYb4r9Iu6
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyLTlaohlD
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvP7kOoNiV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfmN19szg4
「係阡迴旅館？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77peLmO7Bf
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwobIHnOxW
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5T9E5LF2A
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4RclK2foq
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnv7pNjW8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WDOaxxdJR
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp9IpvUNhq
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK3NtFCULG
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfFifNReSC
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfU7ECUdDE
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3mIFQWRz
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN245mTUnPR
沒有回去常世的未來。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gck95pHm6
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg4Z6aug1P
「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！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ng4Pa0BJ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghKj2777wJ
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3xjV29iTV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNWtYvO4ti
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDxvf9lQ8G
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9UP4cDCb
可是，卻——121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOV0dM0UG
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23KwC6XhiH
「無。」鈴兒說。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0FjWFUI3o
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFBTodkx6D
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEyHfUmfLl
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9753XlJWG
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7mwSvEhLF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9crbLZlhBN
「真心咩……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoIvvc35as
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfCQQIg36q
「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？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcaV60gZkj
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3kCrbGqH
我一時間答不出來。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAoCg8lE9
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN8qLwpAzg
回家？當然了，我想回家。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKR7tbNlRC
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkpZhhQYTb
但之後呢？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GAzifEaJ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOy8VUkxta
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？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1eXEubnOZ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4kLjD8UE1
我甚麼也不會成為的。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1bvi7j4D
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygQm1RkEnv
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？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJmvxb9ZM
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIizfBhjY
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vrlwhx6qb
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL4w4dP76x
「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。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29OQbuLF8z
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHrkEJZAdf
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZviU8tvAq
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHNqUkhq37
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsbbfdrphr
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwnmSiRuy
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。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyozVHiaIe
