愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M5JO3tmwm
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObu5o6C0hk
但準確來說，是前攝影師。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX38eQXkq9
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYqcbYuZkv
「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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jkowA948B
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkptHEK4PRS
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjrMDTaUHC
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhjQ3rIWH
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY0Tqsw9bS
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ccKbpnncy
「好靚係唔係？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXWIcWFKVV
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmR4YrztCG
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXrg9Ermeh
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxPSS5DRvY
「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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdckKKzq4WL
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1nQaTag2
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdi1crAni5
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXEv5Sbpf
「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……」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh107Rrrwj7
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLsOqPAq65
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO2wPCnZej
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xj8HmHwj1
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJ0Fsm6Lj
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJSObRAVg6
「返去嘅理由…」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D0noT3xXB
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GsXlauldY
「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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhTmaCYyLb
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouYHiBR83T
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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK1x9Cixlb
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YkriN7TL
「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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2mSbSEENN
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DYZqvOifQ
我心中一沉。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzPjAd2Jn
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1lej3SLrh
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61APdYHg0
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkvxtCh2qn
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM79jfr7lEX
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzrQ6VUHk
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMEPZ31554
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn57ofJyBVL
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJiXBfAfMS
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0DGzUTV6
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurhbKAEM4B
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4HkVog5A2
「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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qD4aEyqK8
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPhXXWRg4U
「我始終想再睇多次。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jyqZRpZ3P
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LHu9q3wtp
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNyAorjIzF
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs48BSR33s
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyjhzdFY1v
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qUeUMggzf
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…？143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44k8TSINF
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d1oidobeH
甚麼跟甚麼。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfaszWFHcz
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZngzZT8RV
「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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCacXgZUm
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSSdKHiQsA
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5O3taPHUm
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72X1naFPyS
「例如——」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTPr2jrWB
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmn47ub1th
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmuOST7N4t
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUmOvU0gO
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ053RI8iyVS
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo91X8zuG9s
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfwUUjrqL
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTVfJlptPU
「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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs0HPJwSfl
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uFs1wMeRP
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdgPGcbOe
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV9XEPCbHF
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJVE7GqNv6
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9IRNqXBy5
「Hall 2B？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW02XxrVvX
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ejmVLhIE
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」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxMv7IBVu
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y5TsSEejG
「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？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRVM0p0uC
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT2mE1Mv9D
我點點頭：「嗯。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLUGIl0GRx
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GtvXLhnZV
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0WJD9kpwQ
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZgrDEXkt
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneWpDdTeNE
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtAVV8e16
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53LttJlFht
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFftHkwFRk
「嘎——」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXpD5YFgln
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJE1JyddH6
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！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GnS9TEtpq
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLqjbNo3Ko
「呢度……！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZeBkLqZ13
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWi2HZTGco
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDU80eSsN9
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWQTqJoDuN
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……143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ME3DPgjK
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYhmxizKvm
「咦？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5zS36zbEi
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUlkcQi9j
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBALzOO0IR
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzaD3FW8gN
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjocQ0ysthy
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SulY5FgsZ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJzKwLJJQm
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYp4Xdu5af
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBDbMavWPC
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJkk8986A
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcuExUJfdE
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkdHa99TmU
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDuTsUCuCQ
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWpexZJWz
「呢度係……」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaKzZCPVn4
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4xhftaRKt
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahnhUTtnmz
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ445xj9heQw
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bHW2DBWZT
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p43VPH8nh
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。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJdzOnHVRd
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBf94c3NAG
「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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdiniPlXq0
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWMUDJ2oQ
「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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZmSlph3fc
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EDKDrASA0
就在那瞬間，我看到了。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcKc5Mm9rS
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsZEnJIzC
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！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaNXLscgT
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp8lr3wuLs
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn18Dj8TTM
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMCmAJjUIC
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb0CzbdBzP
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhOdnYrSi
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？143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF3nn7qB63
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpWHf0UQFi
「我地行呢邊。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xD3yy9nzV
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KQhsPz0Qr
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJZxWqERk5
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllcqcqHwmq
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！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvKuP1i2g
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6JRENt1Op
「嘎——」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrfzRHquny
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGAHDs2yq5
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！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHb23TTISQ
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZnA1ERJEu
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x2FSSHt8K
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3rFWURQFB
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2JYyEhxe
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBta61NZxVP
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRv15uDvhG
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovEv6oTx61
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW0TKaYLHS
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RBJBWWpE
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI83HK9eSt6
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqplZopkB
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4MmLkhStX
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jcTZvmJIo
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnaQ0qLxrW
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ikZAgsHk
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。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssFezGP2J
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPkZDLWJzh
但唯有那一句不變。143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZTgboLD2
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn2mOSUi9G
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBRZ7pwIYc
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbWRpqd9jl
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
