「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmMsqsg21
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALaqXGa7C
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspXK3VjnZ4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4hdnJwNHn
「這裡不好嗎？鳥語花香，豪華大宅、美酒佳餚。還有，我和小思都在這裡！」她輕輕招手，招來小思——我們的愛女。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDCCAVUF59
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgFSWeGTjy
年僅五歲的小思胖胖白白，兩眼水汪汪，腦後頂著兩彎稀疏的小辮子。她鼓起兩頰紅透的小腮子，模仿媽媽的動作，摟抱著我的小腿。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2II163YTB
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYAbPj3ClR
她們的每一句話、每一個動作都正中我的軟肋，硬生生將我的理智和情感撕裂。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFx379Fvw3
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OOrAM3xjw
沒法子。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZCxh3BZLu
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxCSWGiOZv
她們的外形來自我的記憶，言行源於我的心念，再加上高端科技營造出來的聲音、氣味、觸感，二人活脫脫就在我眼前、我懷中！483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkzT7VwWnJ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYNjZs3zpY
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzy6E4tdpL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0wlTDjYZF
暗黑的狹窄環境與虛擬世界內的柔和日光形成強烈對比，我的腦袋和眼睛霎時間適應不來，暈頭轉向，整個人從床上滾掉到地面去。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHOHDHIgQo

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJnH9geBPl
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSIBGDykP
「先生，事前我向你解釋過流程，你應該知道強行脫下頭盔的後果可大可小。輕則昏迷數天，重則永久癱瘓神經系統，變成植物人。」大叔外表粗豪，說起話來卻是婆婆媽媽的。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbHBrbkpod
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0YczjmWuf
我硬撐起身子，背靠床架癱坐著，勉定心神，穩住呼吸節奏後，不忘向大叔道歉：「不好意思，嚇壞了你。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpDpwOEnbR
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqFbXiyJ7
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmrjt8Hnx
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5KKn8hXAJ
「如果機器因為我的行為而損壞，我會賠償。」我是個負責任的男人，無論對人對事皆然。我為此自豪。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0h0AW279d
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zWJMRLOAc
「不是這個意思……」大叔終於反應過來，上前攙扶我到休息室去。他拿來熱毛巾，敷在我的前額。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR96MCTC9yX
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaEDlolmhH
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCvePyGKIs
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRePZLHSN6b
「忍耐一會吧。」大叔自顧自在我身邊吞雲吐霧：「誰叫你不依規矩！」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfwTEaN54
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMNitzfEWN
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaazauzeJsA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNXwGMpZBY
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOunEjXipBX
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhufgzSIe0N
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiBFMDUHA4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFmM65WA1J
「顧客願意花大錢前來光顧我店，大都是因為抵不住親人離世的傷痛。」大叔意味深長地補上一句：「你不是唯一一個。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LI38dRvzg
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FE3CBsxxf
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjLH2RmbY8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIF5Gt25aG
「所以你有能力捱過去——因為大家都捱過去了。」大叔輕視我的悲傷？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nWZuj4LN7
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxHKzxq9M5
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡextbpaaMeL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySK6G4rptQ
「我知道。他們花掉大量金錢懷緬過去，直至身無分文才如夢初醒，不得不重投生活、找工作賺錢，然後漸漸忘記傷痛。只有你，有本事打斷自己的思念之情，爽快俐落地回歸生活——你剛才主動向我道歉，而不是恃著自己的悲傷鬱結鬧脾氣。」大叔遞菸予我。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQqJhvVhfY
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB06QPXRZV
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhK5ft3TEQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVevgnsRnT
菸紙的雪白、菸紙的粗糙質地、菸草的濃烈氣味、菸草被手指擠壓時的微弱碎裂聲響、濾嘴被叼在唇間時散發的淡淡化學味道，一切真實而空虛，沒有靈魂。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9oRlL40In
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSue0Xwczrs
像虛擬世界。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhwqhUhEt7
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oX9TCkCOe
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqwLRTcy2
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlb1CZi5s9
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMnRZrMjK
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwoXMLMMKt
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7RPd7lpnL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88t67B5nmk
店外，夜色蒼茫。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcGNY2uo3b
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYZkrLZDTi
我回望店面的霓虹招牌——紫白藍綠四色甚有節奏地閃爍著，耀眼奪目。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzkh4A158q
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK1U8Ap1Ha
但只消放寬眼界，就會發現它只是萬千燈火裡的其一，毫不起眼。
