愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JEqOl1f4
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH0CnvK3Gk
但準確來說，是前攝影師。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD1K4TcxDU
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGhe3KB0NE
「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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l9vwjUszA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUqSxQtWkO
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKadUfRoQh
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlLwTnpvjW
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0II4MbDSz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerw11S0giv
「好靚係唔係？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMpRutbesY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMAiKBb5By
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTvw2e7Sr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctPRKR45Za
「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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxsHcevZT5
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sv7aqLYxK
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7m7nyHAev
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbICypoRog
「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……」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdfXzvaegE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydxbc6DArX
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n5zCgCRZz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLA2cHKLvh
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNK0tBnuGo
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4nJIXorZW
「返去嘅理由…」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMrWbvv1Eu
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpQz2I7TcV
「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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeEIX6PqXp
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnqg0PRo1T
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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWgWFNiyq
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQHN88d2wh
「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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szNrmMmAp
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80hT81eK6u
我心中一沉。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJthFkzGFu
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmxqt25GIA
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSRypU71hs
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb1QovtsYd
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmvCkFtlhK
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGanfDSQLC
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2JlUZyvJH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDr07sM6kP
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8S0bUtMtA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK6Pvo7C64
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7KldtxFkC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j30fCtrWA
「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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh393gN4JXv
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppKHPsao4E
「我始終想再睇多次。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8EThSUSkr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPrSgVisO
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI5yQbkxkb
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNOPJfxNM
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zvUe9zCEA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbqh3RHOhI
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…？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer8LlceGvj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6G0ZMbpO0
甚麼跟甚麼。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QoTlFrblQ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtohEdjcpl
「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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNir5OQrloS
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3BsHaEzld
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiVwRVEYvh
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGArM1KmY4
「例如——」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5Av9W6TL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAMItoBEZk
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJfIxTt3R
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFAGhTWGgb
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqIkJYMDPA
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropJ40pBgp
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFbW253kN
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4use1ZqZV
「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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMyapn4cv5
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjcbmf4SB
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZfO5YwCnq
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfW3G0YsId
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxCCgf0WPt
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR56cJyMZre
「Hall 2B？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbS7Dxj5di
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILPxZuhJTL
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」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLzEtQHWKz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnV3rAxgYO
「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？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dkha8DvCh
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq5DwDU8jb
我點點頭：「嗯。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJEstzTQlj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cten7meMb
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uO3dSyGMv
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMMUOzwsc6
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU7k1gYoMM
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkWpDxyjM9
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkYYaUSG6F
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVUv8aWPp
「嘎——」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBmB37v0ZV
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0LzcF6Z3
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！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyL5zCaZS
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDXA9DaTjk
「呢度……！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ZfFF8d1B
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSsMPBA8Yz
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT3qeopME1
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPqv5pQU1B
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……302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXlOn5IHqz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmORtvDQy9G
「咦？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1beTcg5Vl
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ0nPaqlOy
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPyBi1EzgL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwjgcV1uy1
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BJnXSHloJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88N1SQwyB5
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJrQ4ysIl0
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREeIuosnA
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKRLD13jb6
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtZdSEsbK7
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8yiQwCSKw
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdf2SlfxtT
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1PIu4xWi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFc7oIOeR
「呢度係……」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSS90z35mM
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGVCFQcZgJ
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuljeeKSkt
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡime0wblPIS
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdDkdDTUW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjcilBqXHC
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。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFugk5fu8
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeIYUBRpYj
「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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GCArM3r5y
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPceAB8Ako
「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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6oGTaBcAM
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA2YyxSbgM
就在那瞬間，我看到了。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQeTwaA0dJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YWgdavaEn
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！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw877Vt9iN
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxa74aWiXE
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKnKxma8Qj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4He4542rL
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsfB6tjEZo
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXyITGUddP
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？302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHspO1Tdm7g
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPb1xtRCmD
「我地行呢邊。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q3q91eBj6
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi1xIlaTGf
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLkqZuobO4
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQEy1byL54
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！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOo6cIXywh
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlWZNdbJTq
「嘎——」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc30Nej02v
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVYGNNvrnW
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！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wSFLGktL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAhCFRRrzB
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJCxSvpqy8
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WUlt6VibI
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcdwseeTGx
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7KFh64VqW
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlJGIEBUa9
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzYa4g57uP
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETIUulxW9
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5EXzwZ7AQ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yxziAkqWI
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LqZ1qusIq
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaAnndDizN
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZK8FLAk24
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyFvkxSMMb
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPr1W0ZHN
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。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzfdgkqVEC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kyl8TI1Lz
但唯有那一句不變。302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ppxs8uSxZ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH78Oyhcq4G
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA4ZDCaxhz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzlvGGjmms
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
