「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我,微微抬首,熱淚盈眶。363Please respect copyright.PENANANzoATZUBPy
363Please respect copyright.PENANA5M0vCpBTk9
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕,心裡卻是萬般不捨。363Please respect copyright.PENANAvVCm2AV3ud
363Please respect copyright.PENANAPYBugjcoMO
「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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAbHu7Rh1Hyk
363Please respect copyright.PENANAsXfHgIXTkP
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。363Please respect copyright.PENANA9wNaNPhPy5
363Please respect copyright.PENANAyHUidwsIC3
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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAINwploIACx
363Please respect copyright.PENANAflsyCsMLbZ
沒法子。363Please respect copyright.PENANAitD8Aw6rcc
363Please respect copyright.PENANA3K0Wq0JybJ
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!363Please respect copyright.PENANAFIDsFU5y82
363Please respect copyright.PENANAZz5bVBdrQN
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口,我斷然脫下頭盔,離開虛擬世界。363Please respect copyright.PENANAnfUH7b8N2W
363Please respect copyright.PENANAiApQXcLMRl
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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAZUOwUPqm1G
363Please respect copyright.PENANAR3Cb5RfZul
店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內,見我神智尚算清醒,才鬆一口氣。363Please respect copyright.PENANA4OGWCgHP1e
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVimH5EPlPf
「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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAxqVCgV2GMR
363Please respect copyright.PENANA2GE3CrqFjU
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。」363Please respect copyright.PENANAMzeg99U6MH
363Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJm12lqmS
不知何解,大叔突然愣住。363Please respect copyright.PENANA12lctivo0d
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtnDmWj7KX8
「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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAd0IsisSjll
363Please respect copyright.PENANAWKhYaZZ4ZU
「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。363Please respect copyright.PENANA9zIVcvgagh
363Please respect copyright.PENANApGQwmMXZO6
熱力令我清醒不少,但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。363Please respect copyright.PENANAmoHZwwARMp
363Please respect copyright.PENANA8153WBsidS
「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!」363Please respect copyright.PENANAmbqsAP9SHw
363Please respect copyright.PENANAJNqoR7FQYH
「不得不走。」我心如刀割:「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」363Please respect copyright.PENANAXJSjFl62qe
363Please respect copyright.PENANAAOgo2oacCA
「親人離世?」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。363Please respect copyright.PENANATuAxKId2ve
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkvtpOKHkGy
「你看得出來?」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。363Please respect copyright.PENANA61WKMAeIQz
363Please respect copyright.PENANATmxMGJ24Up
「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。」363Please respect copyright.PENANAmbpihG2pv9
363Please respect copyright.PENANAkxUQoF4eF9
「所以我不該感到悲傷?」我聽見話裡的話。363Please respect copyright.PENANArS6beXTIYL
363Please respect copyright.PENANAavGFaqcl7o
「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?363Please respect copyright.PENANAVkHW55fFcy
363Please respect copyright.PENANAknOBO5D1Qr
「我不是他們!他們亦不是我!」我有點兒憤怒。363Please respect copyright.PENANAXpuKgdYdIS
363Please respect copyright.PENANA7fNfK2FdIk
「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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAMOnKtfKnzH
363Please respect copyright.PENANAclxLgotvMS
我接過香菸,將它玩弄於指間。363Please respect copyright.PENANAkkYcqi15BK
363Please respect copyright.PENANAC8X298WG5u
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。363Please respect copyright.PENANAsh2yjf8ZQJ
363Please respect copyright.PENANA4nuostw6OV
像虛擬世界。363Please respect copyright.PENANAGey7tGoG04
363Please respect copyright.PENANASq6pMymGnF
「這個……」我放下香菸,掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔:「謝謝。」363Please respect copyright.PENANAI4LTiBsV70
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0Lr4fFl6PI
大叔欣然收下,俏皮笑道:「後會無期。」363Please respect copyright.PENANA10dr4tl6HQ
363Please respect copyright.PENANA0JpZbr8bPm
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然,心痛冉退。363Please respect copyright.PENANAZWTnoBM05D
363Please respect copyright.PENANAg01fqTK54V
店外,夜色蒼茫。363Please respect copyright.PENANAVElmN8ccZI
363Please respect copyright.PENANALpDWD0FEC6
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。363Please respect copyright.PENANATXqn70QdQN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAvie9eW3TkS
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。
