愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMqny9Cfw
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19X2soDmpb
但準確來說，是前攝影師。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZFgqSety
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNuV844DXY
「全職做攝影師而養得活自己嘅人唔多……好可惜，愛莉唔係其中之一。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3s4dj2Xx9
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwpCMBaFoG
鈴兒帶我來到了天井下的接待處，從抽屜中拿出一張相片，上面都是鈴兒和大家在阡迴旅館中的日常照。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wtNImXqBz
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXT80Fbd7S
雖然不是甚麼美輪美奐的服飾背景，但從構圖，光影，看得出愛莉精準地捕捉了大家的身姿。笑著的鈴兒，彼此碰杯的阿力與阿倫，伏在鈴兒胸前撒嬌的渺渺……愛莉的相片之中滲透著日常感，看畢後有種心中暖洋洋的感覺。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ7k2Y0sVw
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWG7kDMYWI
「好靚係唔係？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8CAYmqveZ
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeeJ0WywzM
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPUhKn2w5W
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC2DzMlGRg
「愛莉嘅影相技術無異係真材實料，但係想喺香港做一個全職攝影師實在太難，唉。」鈴兒嘆一口氣道，「所以佢亦無辦法，只有向現實低頭，做返會計。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoDcL2Mm3w
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMX5zZ5u2H
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gorfrSWmY
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5dlRsqbMR
「嗯，仲無晒私人時間添。」鈴兒說，「佢係某晚OT到凌晨，忍唔住話落街買咖啡，結果走咗去天星碼頭旁邊忍唔住對住個海喊。又唔想返上去寫字樓，又唔可以一走了之，因為要靠份工生活……」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbuQTfdmv
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVgiqkGZ3M
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3HkKfHPL1
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P4eDXV5kz
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuotnD7OEwD
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzFQQT6z77
「返去嘅理由…」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O3XmC3NuM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcFsDwxRNd
「之後係大廈入面蕩失路，搵唔到升降機大堂，行出大廈只見到阡迴旅館，愛莉就係咁樣嚟到呢度。」鈴兒說。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEKRoCiif4
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR89pRPLG4P
我搖頭道：「唔怪得佢唔想返去，係度佢可以盡情影相，又唔使擔心生計，我係佢都唔走。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFC1SZf4i3
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBaiFA5vPp
「當然，但問題就係呢度：留係阡迴旅館之中，無論留幾耐都好，佢永遠無可能成為真正嘅攝影師。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoLSKTsVf
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDXr6Xd1N7
我心中一沉。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLtJk9mEg2
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46qW8EeRxj
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE3ZchXFgG
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5sbDxYRFo
這兒沒有時間流動，雖然我們不會老去不會疲累，但也意味著在阡迴旅館中沒有成為更好版本自己的可能。阡迴旅館內時間是停滯的，所以人生也會定格在這兒。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4jdATZgrs
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TuKqG7QRY
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIzz3svCWF
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC5pTmEoEv
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yUCAVGECB
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrnayxapwA
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJF1U2n3gP
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGJ2oMfjfN
「唔緊要，係我同阿柏早咗到。反正我地呢度唔缺時間啦。」鈴兒馬上擺出開朗的樣子，果然在這笑容下是一顆體貼，溫柔的細膩內心。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYdww7rj5D
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPU2UUJuIj
「我始終想再睇多次。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzt5dX5hX0
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgXLGZDPdL
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwAS7oXU8f
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNNxV6Wm4
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD9Y9s4ZSP
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEe6LfDSv0
按鈴兒剛剛所說，她就是要使用名為「阡迴之門」的權能，通往時間和平行宇宙…？183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t3TzvlvqW
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFryr8wX7
甚麼跟甚麼。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKLxCLAoEM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Oby4AngH
「阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯之處，即使係唔同時間線嘅平行宇宙都包括在內。身為職員嘅我，就係要負責為住客打開阡迴之門，令佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN5quqFVHL
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REAaW0WYc
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ393gwr8mbU
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4ZtYzuyU
「例如——」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxaeh4NOYM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGFRQudFLL
隨她優雅的腰姿擺動往前走，鈴兒腳下的地板突然如泛起漣漪般輕晃，她別著的風鈴髮飾奏鳴出清脆的聲音。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zfC6pxv55
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3J5opB3GQ
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyH9IjPsRD
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyxB1xjhY8
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDEbsmNF2n
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlHIrfXItZ
「嗯，行呢邊。」鈴兒張開眼回首微笑，然後信步往迴音最為深厚的角落走去。的確很明顯聽得到迴音從這邊傳來，原來風鈴是用來定位的方法。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWggdyjeQh
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgTq3qFQC
我們穿過天井下的大堂，迴音的殘響言猶在耳，天井化成巨大的共鳴箱，每隔幾步殘響都會再次掠過中庭，提醒我們前進的方向。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo20tRsej1k
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAwM0UtJxv
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJnBlwKzj
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi4bM2oeu9
「Hall 2B？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmhslWV2Ld
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4aAMTkbl
這門的風格與阡迴旅館的室內設計格格不入，金屬邊框加上噴砂銅面相當歐式，門柄還是木雕花的長形原木，能看到木紋在凹凸浮雕上起伏。在門的正中央，以秀麗的英文寫上「Hall 2B」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeeTFTyfUU
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNGQPMSbHO
「阡迴之門會複製出目的地嘅一扇門，之後穿過去就可以到達目的地。」鈴兒按著門把，「準備好？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuETx0wvtj
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JtBw2bOlA
我點點頭：「嗯。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42miHkslSR
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAVuHw6Izk
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ1I9QjGVM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL830NTj1dB
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsCVmyVRcZ
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfkZZTU5T6
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Btb8VMN2t
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ZSWVhqBh
「嘎——」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOYXLsBMF5
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsQyOWSdBH
鈴兒推開阡迴之門，我們三人魚貫地通過，門的後方竟然不是阡迴旅館的任何一個空間，而是一個宴會現場！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreaZccmCFs
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrtNMv6XSZ
「呢度……！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKXPBvSkj6
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4GuWuMqZ8
舞台前方大排筵席，人們都衣香鬢影，一桌又一桌的大圓桌旁坐著各國籍的各色人種，但他們都穿得相當體面，男的穿西裝燕尾服，女的穿晚裝裙子。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOdCdqm6ch
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c6wyaKiG4
啊糟糕了雖然未搞清這是怎麼回事，但我穿著很舒服但絕不適合這兒的鬆身外套和運動褲……183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8cyy0TnyB
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsUqICYYf5
「咦？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfZgoCvjw9
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZVwxpzQq
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbTUoW3fP
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEY6GNwJPT
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWQ4UjHYMi
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMOJTT4OeX
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaK9S9oGy3
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFJT8wI98H
鈴兒穿上了酒紅色的長尾晚裝裙，高根鞋上的黑絲襪與晚裝長手襪互相呼應，而愛莉就穿上了橙色的晚裝裙加上優雅的長披肩。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr3EsRsiRw
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLoyOpzDEK
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjfum4cPBq
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXDXc3KrPo
我回首看看剛才穿過的門，剛好有一名侍者穿門而出，可以看到門後已經變回了酒店金碧輝煌的大堂，絕非古色古香的阡迴旅館。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKqRawVJj
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnjLvaJfM5
「呢度係……」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkpGSgEgA2
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXaMAOivBz
環顧四周，我馬上看到舞台上的英文標題：世界新聞攝影基金會頒獎典禮，這倒算了，但最嚇人的是後面的年份。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmpDSaqil
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs96H9lMZc9
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5R5PSLaZM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmex4I04iy
鈴兒說：「年份無寫錯，呢度係未來，應該話係多如恆河沙數無數個未來之中嘅其中一個。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkHCsN17ZN
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNzvftYt1
「世界新聞攝影比賽，係世界上其中一個最重要嘅攝影比賽，同美國嘅普立茲獎齊名。但係後者主要係美國人先可以參加，所以……呢度可以話係攝影記者嘅殿堂。」愛莉雙眼閃閃發亮。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx4Ty2UGVU
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGjnS7dLdw
「各位先生女士，請大家就座，好快我地今晚嘅典禮就會正式開始。」舞台上出現同樣穿著西裝的主持人，他以英文發言，附近的人聞言也紛紛和正在聊天聚首的人暫時別過，然後坐回自己的座位上。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDIuzDvXhA
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGLTNknZu
就在那瞬間，我看到了。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKtmWlSNNC
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbeoW41Jh
主舞台前方的一張圓桌旁，一個女士與男伴坐下。那女士不是誰，正是我們身邊的愛莉！但是看年紀似乎年長些許，旁邊那個男人與她也表現親密，無名指上的婚戒……是他的丈夫！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCs0CQBPEW
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNbZWmLalL
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IeOH4VTDS
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKsw6DD4qB
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1GEdBfSK
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HBZfyNz9p
這種場合都是預先分配好座位的吧，我們身為從阡迴旅館而來的人怎麼辦？183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWeqlb6KnV
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGAFZzO775
「我地行呢邊。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpH0QziPbM
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfrMhRMUgN
鈴兒領著我們逆人潮而上，賓客回到舞台前的座位，我們離舞台而遠去，如同逆著時間流而上一樣。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAzgFERBLH
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhymhTFf30
就在我們再次穿門而過前。我卻看到那兒年長的愛莉正回首看著我們的方向！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCHOyVBC8E
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sA0lkFDVP
「嘎——」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdIQ2l5DMP
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv15SFocXAF
穿過大門，我們卻沒有回到阡迴旅館，而是回到了同一個宴會廳！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQKzDyIoV3
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqeiL2I1YV
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57xqQGwCK
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfqPPk8Mof
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLH3tfdmo0
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHj38G6AXb
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZRYwlcpWX
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FEcHpfCdr
鈴兒繼續前進，剛好我們這邊的門旁邊有著另一扇門，我們馬上又鑽進去。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTx1fCqNjV
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiG2nj2DGw
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkwA6bJHu
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzCgVVOt17
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTXvc3DQQW
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3pZuj5SD
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFtmprSDt
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOWkBcq7Jj
每次穿過門，舞台旁邊的愛莉其打扮都會有些許不同，或是頭髮長了，或是晚裝變了款式，或是頸飾的長度不同，而她身邊的同伴也會男女老幼變個不停，其中一次最離譜是她肩膊上繼續坐著一隻鸚鵡。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTKG95cbEo
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxfZ92cQ9
但唯有那一句不變。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6PBRooETX
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3oE7bFDWi
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5KQW4Yvvd
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5LTarjoT
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
