第二十三章:【聚.散】310Please respect copyright.PENANAQcTT63zC57

1:55 – 香檳大廈B座地下錢虹相機鋪內310Please respect copyright.PENANAPqHpH8Xjl6
310Please respect copyright.PENANA41oBP7pESg
玻璃門上嘅水氣若隱若現。310Please respect copyright.PENANA9JGhquWpHh
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyJqLSs99zP
阿琛坐喺地上,佢嘅鼻頭貼住錢虹相機鋪嘅玻璃門呼吸,兩隻眼望實外面嘅一舉一動,拳頭握到實一實。310Please respect copyright.PENANACsLdEfKGPS
310Please respect copyright.PENANALc7vsRiu7h
阿琛好清楚玻璃門外面有啲乜嘢,佢喺呢度經歷咗好多,好記得曾經被啲無頭殼嘅怪物兇悍追擊,曾經吊住喺窗邊吊到手腳發麻,曾經被大蜘蛛怪物逼到要鮮血淋漓地逃跑,呢啲事佢記得好清楚。然而,對於佢同Yolanda之間嘅事,卻一直停留於嗰晚食完蛋糕、飲完香檳,雲雨巫山過後,彷彿就似睡死咗一樣。茫茫然就喺詭異嘅香檳大廈出現。310Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNvX5QbzF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAG8HErLcXMR
「Yolanda,您究竟喺邊呀?」阿琛心裡仍然擔心佢呢位「女朋友」—佢人生中第一個女朋友。310Please respect copyright.PENANAJYPbG6bfiF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwB8YROl5Fp
與此同時,財仔企喺鋪面上的工作檯,拆咗由佢自己安裝嘅其中一截潛望鏡,透過管道中觀察店鋪外面嘅情況。310Please respect copyright.PENANAtsH4xxfvCQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmS9oewJEVp
潛望鏡可以睇到嘅範圍有限,最多只係鋪頭外左右七、八米嘅地方,但已經比淨係企喺鋪內,隔住玻璃門所睇到嘅範圍廣闊得多。鋪頭門口仍然放住先前黃經理同Fiona用嚟遮住自己移動嘅座地燈箱,而燈箱不遠處嘅地面仲有啲斑駁嘅暗紅色血跡,被唔同嘅腳印踩到化開晒。310Please respect copyright.PENANAiS90dFs5k5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGKyRkq294k
「琛哥,出面無嘢呀……」財仔回過頭來向阿琛說:「要出去嘅話要快手﹗」310Please respect copyright.PENANAciINXPpbwF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmbouxKhIf9
阿琛舉起手示意聽到財仔嘅說話,同時都表示意佢唔好出聲住,阿琛再貼上隻耳仔去玻璃度,靜靜地聽住出面嘅聲音,探聽住一啲潛望鏡唔會睇到嘅事。310Please respect copyright.PENANAiwEmnVNRMj
310Please respect copyright.PENANAI770mqD396
由剛才俯伏喺地下開始,阿琛就隱隱約約聽到啲聲音,啲聲音就好似撕開一啲布碎嘅聲,仲夾雜住少少痛苦嘅呻吟聲,但實在係太微弱,而且不規律,阿琛好想嘗試辨別出聲音係嚟自邊個方向,究竟喺錢虹相機鋪嘅左邊定係右邊?310Please respect copyright.PENANAUpkAqAec0R
310Please respect copyright.PENANAELpg1CNJSc
錢虹相機嘅位置屬於地下商鋪內圈中的角落,出咗玻璃門右轉可以直達香檳大廈大門、B座嘅電梯大堂、以及上去戴東尼酒店嘅樓梯;而左轉就係一間出名食芝士撈丁嘅快餐店及其他相機鋪,仲有另一條走廊通往香檳大廈另一個出口。310Please respect copyright.PENANAYpEQRJJWbq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGrUIrvk6c1
佢地嘅目標係近門口不遠處嘅B座大堂看更亭,跑過去只需十幾步就到。似近還遠嘅距離,踏出去係需要勇氣。310Please respect copyright.PENANAtxJUkWzY8o
310Please respect copyright.PENANADZR6Ciag9x
阿琛用手拉開道玻璃門,一絲涼氣從縫隙中竄入佢鼻孔,打咗個冷震。阿琛再認真地聽下出面嘅聲音,發現已經無咗嗰把痛苦嘅呻吟聲。310Please respect copyright.PENANAEO80KoqhVx
310Please respect copyright.PENANANNQdxAmeaH
「死就死啦,早去早回﹗」阿琛一鼓作氣,用力地把門推出一個身位,踎住咁行出去。財仔見狀,立即喺工作檯上跳落嚟,緊隨阿琛後面走出去。310Please respect copyright.PENANA1AJZ6WsAo7
310Please respect copyright.PENANAohfGOhv4lh
外面嘅溫度明顯比起錢虹相機鋪冷得多,又或者錢虹相機鋪裡面太焗促,阿琛吸了一大口氣,精神抖擻了不少。310Please respect copyright.PENANAwp21aTbgSY
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsAbzOxZpwz
「琛哥行慢啲,等埋我呀!」財仔跟實喺阿琛後面,躡手躡腳咁行。兩個人就係咁踎住一步一步走向大堂。310Please respect copyright.PENANAnufA2tOiam
310Please respect copyright.PENANAO1Kdgwut4i
突然間,微弱而又痛苦嘅呻吟聲再一次響起,今次阿琛聽得好清楚,就正正由佢地行緊去方向傳嚟。佢立即企起身,將身體貼實後面嘅牆,財仔似乎唔知發生乜嘢事,但都立即跟住阿琛企起身貼實牆。阿琛慢慢沿住牆邊向前移動,去到轉角位時則慢慢伸出少少頭去探下究竟。310Please respect copyright.PENANAxVWpYpVPYF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuJjZjsvLXf
轉角就係B座嘅升降機大堂同埋看更亭嘅位置,亦都係佢地要去搜查嘅地方,阿琛勢估唔到,即使連去看更亭咁近都會有咁多阻滯。310Please respect copyright.PENANAH1OScXtVVy
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYzY2NCo00p
阿琛快速轉身,面向牆壁,繼續移動頭部,隻左眼終於都越過牆邊,稍微睇到升降機嘅位置,卻意想不到見到呢個畫面:龍志超坐喺一號升降機門前,咬住自己隻手,一臉驚恐咁望住佢前面嘅景象—一具躺在血泊中嘅人形物體。310Please respect copyright.PENANAzvgttaGcam
310Please respect copyright.PENANA866a4ltArG
阿琛無預期會見到龍志超,更加無預期見到呢個畫面。310Please respect copyright.PENANAdBUu8MyJyX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqlIjX2W4tM
阿琛依稀認得血泊中嘅人嘅衣著打扮,應該係龍志超瘦啲嗰個手下。阿琛唔知佢叫乜嘢名。佢俯伏係地下,郁都唔郁一下,而且成地都係血,背脊中央位置好似有一個深黑色嘅窿咁,明顯地佢係死了。310Please respect copyright.PENANAiAlgsb8CAN
310Please respect copyright.PENANALFpcVNt5cx
阿琛再環顧大堂,似乎沒有異樣,唯一唔同嘅係升降機大堂原本有嘅閉路電視不見了,甚至看似沒有安裝過一樣,阿琛有點疑惑,但都見怪不怪了。310Please respect copyright.PENANAHeLl9wJKOR
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuNk74oszOf
呢棟香檳大廈好奇怪,同平時外展時候嘅格局好唔同,一啲都唔似係阿琛熟悉嘅香檳大廈,自從佢最後一次返去搵Yolanda之後就一直有呢種怪怪嘅感覺。310Please respect copyright.PENANAGpTPNcxQYg
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvSTOwjyJja
「琛哥,做乜嘢呀?你睇緊乜嘢呀?」財仔等咗阿琛好耐,見佢企定定喺度唔郁,按捺不住咁掹一掹佢條褲。310Please respect copyright.PENANAODqvlUslYI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAllAmd90h61
阿琛無回應財仔,居然逕自行咗出去。310Please respect copyright.PENANAHDtg1IBSHd
310Please respect copyright.PENANAiGTPd5myNG
「既然大堂無乜異樣,就出去睇下啦……」阿琛心想,其實佢好想知道龍志超遇到乜嘢事。財仔冷不防阿琛就咁就走咗出去,馬上跟住阿琛後面走入大堂。310Please respect copyright.PENANAXf1RuP3i1N
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwhVqXjoVTR
即使阿琛走到埋去,龍志超仍然毫無反應,甚至好似無為意到阿琛佢地出現,阿琛慢慢走過去龍志超面前凝視住佢,但龍志超彷彿好似入咗定咁,郁都唔郁,但阿琛留意到,龍志超咬住自己嗰隻手,咬到出血。310Please respect copyright.PENANAqnqZyYFXf5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUPezQqZYxY
「佢……佢做乜嘢呀?」財仔被眼前呢個畫面嚇到,以前聽隔離屋啲師奶講,入晒定唔識郁又無知覺嗰啲人,分分鐘係撞邪,財仔宜家見到龍志超咁嘅樣,立即諗返起以前聽過嘅傳言。310Please respect copyright.PENANA5ueGm9zMxk
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZOUHXPFkAE
「佢係咪撞邪呀?」財仔戰戰競競咁細細聲問阿琛。阿琛聳肩表唔知道,佢淨係知道龍志超應該係被嚇到失咗魂。310Please respect copyright.PENANA3srq7IQWMw
310Please respect copyright.PENANAizFXtndOqM
阿琛企返起身,望一望附近,仍然係無乜特別,2號升降機對住樓梯,樓梯亦無任何異樣。310Please respect copyright.PENANAqSrwrCJFNH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOIeglyirP2
「財仔,唔好理佢住,搵下有無平面圖先。」阿琛同財仔講,決定由得龍志超坐喺度:「反正佢都唔抵幫……」阿琛心想。310Please respect copyright.PENANAcCOwdJMaQx
310Please respect copyright.PENANA76EO7BAsIF
由阿琛抬住阿Ken去到錢虹相機鋪之後,龍志超等人就不時對佢冷嘲熱諷,佢一直都忍住道氣無發出嚟,始終處理阿Ken嘅情況先最緊要。310Please respect copyright.PENANAJW4Dpv2RC0
310Please respect copyright.PENANADm7tc2OQhD
其實阿琛都發覺,自從自己返咗呢份兼職外展員嘅工作後,火爆嘅脾性收斂咗,可能係因為喺一樓一接觸到嘅人嚟自五湖四海,三山五嶽,要斯文嘅有斯文,要撈偏嘅有撈偏嘅,如果繼續火爆落去會好易得罪人,小則唔駛旨意繼續喺嗰度做外展,重則可能連累其他同事被打一身,呢啲事都係可免則免。310Please respect copyright.PENANA9T5JDLawQs
310Please respect copyright.PENANA41HMa3zpYH
因此,阿琛無論係工作環境中被雞頭呼喝、被姐姐仔白眼、被看更驅趕,還是係被好多男人無視,佢都已經習以為常。但人始終係人,容忍唔代表心入面無感覺。310Please respect copyright.PENANAzR7W1CLyua
310Please respect copyright.PENANA44BvrrTLnI
「龍志超呢啲人,唔幫你已經係對你一種懲罰。」阿琛心裡想說嘅話。310Please respect copyright.PENANAbdrOMfBMpN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzeEAlhlaDp
「財仔,您搵下嗰邊看更亭有無櫃桶,順便睇下有無嘢啱用。」阿琛回過神來,指住看更亭位置吩咐財仔,自己則走過去牆邊嘅報告欄尋找線索。310Please respect copyright.PENANAT9tU3n5bWN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhQwajlWYjw
報告欄前面有一道鐵閘,將看更亭、升降機大堂間開,隔住地下商場。平時阿琛都係經由呢個升降機大堂上落香檳B座,但印象中只有看更亭係有安裝鐵欄,升降機大堂並沒有任何間隔。310Please respect copyright.PENANAffMQTVqtq5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgaIpVfxnty
阿琛拉開呢道從來未見過嘅鐵閘,走入活門後面閱讀住報告欄上嘅內容。310Please respect copyright.PENANAa9EEWxNVDt
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbNcGL2cMdk
報告欄唔係好大,但就密密麻麻咁釘滿好多紙,有部份係大廈通告,有部份係警察呼籲,亦有部份係一啲殘缺不全嘅業主立案法團會議記錄,阿琛隨手揭起看看:310Please respect copyright.PENANAFK0HPe4hso
310Please respect copyright.PENANAu8uPD2A0oD
香港政府制水通知 (1963)310Please respect copyright.PENANAOstdYXVuQO
香檳酒樓全面裝修 - 暫停營業通知(1969)310Please respect copyright.PENANAUIpAVQpHvt
香港皇家警察 - 歲晚冬防通告(1979)310Please respect copyright.PENANAl8ZNWhSb2D
香檳大廈B座業主立案法團第三、十七、二十八及三十九屆會議記錄(1975)、(1990)、(2001)、(2012)310Please respect copyright.PENANAHwWVjp5H0e
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyMaKjN7drG
阿琛睇到會議記錄嘅內容全部都係討論瑣碎事情,即使喺唔同年代,大廈管理嘅範疇離不開都啲供水供電、消防治安以及公共衛生嘅嘢,唯獨是其中一個項目:欠交管理費。每一份記錄都有個表列明邊個單位未交管理費,包括業主名、拖欠期數,總拖欠金額。310Please respect copyright.PENANAwogGwllmQ7
310Please respect copyright.PENANAlly8lJVeuL
除了個別零星單位一年中有幾個月無交管理費外,阿琛留意到一欄總拖欠管理費達三萬,呢個金額似乎係由1975年拖欠到2001年。每份會議記錄呢一欄都出呢個拖欠單位嘅業主名字:310Please respect copyright.PENANAwnwsljymxU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZXUMQyXyvo
「5/F B室 杜鳳琴」310Please respect copyright.PENANA70mXu5LPO9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAo2rGfJaEmF
「杜鳳琴?」阿琛對呢個名一啲都唔陌生,阿琛細個嘅時候,有差不多十年嘅時間同嫲嫲一齊住;嫲嫲屋企有部好舊嘅唱機,每逢嫲嫲要開唱機,阿琛總係搶住要幫手放隻黑膠唱片入去。佢記得喺云云黑膠唱片當中,有一隻叫「芳草天涯」嘅碟,由女歌手「夜相思」主唱,而喺「夜相思」後面,有個括號括住個小名字,正正就係「杜鳳琴」三個字,呢隻碟嫲嫲幾乎每日都會播一次。310Please respect copyright.PENANAhLKd3ZxUbI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJUjJaNFxOE
「唔會咁啱係佢呀?」阿琛心想,這段十幾年前嘅回憶,因為一個名字,再次浮現。310Please respect copyright.PENANABmiVbKNNy1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAVeTuF3SANz
喺2012年嘅會議記錄中,多咗好多單位欠交管理費。呢個時期嘅香檳大廈已經成為咗男人天堂,環境混亂,管理亦相當有困難。除此之外,阿琛亦發現5/F B室單位名字已被除去。310Please respect copyright.PENANAgTroikkEuq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcVvc9Cbe0f
「咯咯咯……咯咯咯……」阿琛背後傳來幾聲類似敲打木頭聲嘅音。310Please respect copyright.PENANAHSwG4QnLOH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ChUBodLL
財仔正在用一本紅黑色嘅硬皮簿,敲打檯面,同時苦惱地掃視成檯嘅雜物。310Please respect copyright.PENANADZUA6kYBi1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqRKLg7dYxP
「啊,搵到啦!」財仔用手指夾起鐵盒內一個萬字夾,個萬字夾生晒鏽,似乎年代久遠。310Please respect copyright.PENANAdA3KzhpIUF
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5BKo7ipQEQ
財仔輕輕力將個萬字夾擘開,形成長條,再用指甲係尾端扣勾一個小圈,變咗一條小鐵鑰匙。310Please respect copyright.PENANA3w0R3TvJPg
310Please respect copyright.PENANARopLyE3klj
「搞掂!」財仔暗暗自喜,望住阿琛笑了一笑:「睇住啦!」310Please respect copyright.PENANAtD7KHOaRVl
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHBNxe1UOz3
財仔踎喺度,將枝小鐵鑰匙插入佢面前張寫字檯嘅櫃桶嘅匙窿,上下撩幾撩,再轉兩下,個櫃桶就畀財仔拉了出嚟。310Please respect copyright.PENANAVSm2TAOWP5
310Please respect copyright.PENANA17YFqLE5ot
阿琛企喺一邊嘖嘖稱奇,眼前嘅財仔只不過係十五、六歲嘅學生,已對開鎖已經瞭如指掌,又識得用光學原理砌潛望鏡,令阿琛佩服不已,佢舉出雙掌,作狀拍手。310Please respect copyright.PENANARwRH60BB35
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5ueE30OQB8
「呸!」對比起財仔嘅勇敢及機靈,龍志超呢一種古惑仔實在係差一大截,阿琛對龍志超嘅厭惡又再湧上心頭。310Please respect copyright.PENANA7S2CUhOGp9
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4B9s09y59H
櫃桶被打開,一堆廢紙如山般湧晒出嚟,財仔一睇,全部都係馬經。310Please respect copyright.PENANA8UgvU6bb5i
310Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Bej11fqL
「華僑日報……工商日報……紅綠日報……新晚報?全部都未聽過嘅?」財仔翻起面頭幾份報紙一睇,大感詫異,手上嘅報紙年份全部都係1967年嘅馬經,距離佢出生年份仲差好多時間,另一個令佢更詫異嘅地方係,份份報紙都係新簇簇,一啲都唔似經歷咗幾十年。310Please respect copyright.PENANAl7gsNA0ot9
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8EPwV7fXfJ
阿琛走過去更亭處一齊睇。其實更亭唔係好大,周圍都被個鐵閘圍住,地方只夠一個人企,所以財仔將張櫈移開,方便阿琛走入嚟。310Please respect copyright.PENANAkVL5LUqPTO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzaKWnadFHn
財仔攞晒櫃桶所有報紙出嚟之後,發現仲有一本大簿,本簿材質呈微微軟身,約有A3咁大,封面頁係由雞皮紙做成,上面用紅色筆大大隻寫住「數簿」二字,字體鐵畫銀鈎,應該係用毛筆寫上去。財仔小心翼翼咁攞佢出嚟,放喺檯面上,然後望住阿琛:「揭嚟睇下?」310Please respect copyright.PENANAfaXeNtKQut
310Please respect copyright.PENANA67k0VuEiwb
阿琛見到本簿,第一個聯想到嘅係管理費數簿。通常管理費都係每個月嘅月頭由管理處代收,到銀行入數,然後每個月向法團主席司庫交代,數簿就係記錄幾年幾月幾日,由邊個單位交過嚟嘅管理費 — 最起碼佢屋企嘅大廈係咁樣實施。310Please respect copyright.PENANArJ8QJZStFN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkRWwaKaw11
阿琛點點頭,財仔便打開數簿嘅第一頁。就如阿琛所料,係一本管理費數簿,由地鋪單位開始,逐個單位記錄低收費記錄,並包括業主姓名及單位面積。310Please respect copyright.PENANABIePtExNhX
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6YfsjptfBV
佢地逐頁揭嚟睇,佢地知道部份鋪頭有好耐歷史,好似錢虹相機店、星座冰室等,管理費記錄全都齊備,亦有啲鋪頭如香賓無線電行、SKY ROOM BAR、香檳大酒樓、紅寶石餐廳等,阿琛同財仔聽都未聽過。310Please respect copyright.PENANA4mcxVN7RTd
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ1RoyRMMr
再往後揭就開始係三樓以上嘅住宅及商業單位嘅管理費記錄,阿琛想起之前通告欄5B單位嘅業主欠下多年嘅管理費,下意識地揭去嗰版,想八卦一下業主究竟幾時開始欠交,順便了解多啲其實佢係咪嗰位舊歌星。310Please respect copyright.PENANADxKArbaZqq
人,總是八卦的。310Please respect copyright.PENANAWjMwfNizrE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAL7IPhkYBry
「琛哥,估唔到以前香檳大廈咁熱鬧,又有酒樓又有夜總會……咦,乜三樓有得睇醫生添㗎?我都真係唔知喎……」財仔邊睇邊講:「其實我搬咗入嚟只係兩年,都唔知道香檳大廈原來已經有三十幾年歷史……」310Please respect copyright.PENANABwfMbeKAmU
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6daTJWQMU
「點止呀,香檳差唔多有六十年啦!」阿琛回應著,同時都在打量緊看更亭檯面有甚麼東西可以用,佢留意到檯面右上角有一串東西在閃閃下,係一串鎖匙,另外檯面上有一部寫住「樂滿」嘅原子粒收音機,一盒健牌香煙,一個銻質嘅漱口盅,上面印有兩朵大菊花。310Please respect copyright.PENANA2qBbe7Hgyb
310Please respect copyright.PENANAcojtIPflc2
「嘩,好耐無見過呢隻漱口盅啦,財仔,您見過未?……財仔……」阿琛拍拍財仔,財仔晃動了一下,卻沒有反應。310Please respect copyright.PENANAti1BVZRU3P
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhC43cErTBv
「琛哥…」靜了一會,財仔聲線平靜地叫了阿琛。310Please respect copyright.PENANAKX3U34xLjQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOaRwGlJLw9
「……你可唔可以講多次我知,您話香檳有幾耐歷史話……?」佢一字一頓。310Please respect copyright.PENANAhHvtZGky9p
310Please respect copyright.PENANAAp4uEu3t6C
此刻,阿琛先醒起剛剛同財仔嘅對話,佢記得自己講咗句「香檳有六十年歷史」。「係呀,無講錯吖。」阿琛心想,佢都只係糾正返財仔話得三十年嘅描述。310Please respect copyright.PENANAiSckZ4XWy3
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeajl1zl6GB
「咪六十年囉,做咩呀?」阿琛不明所以,佢探個頭去裝下財仔,只見佢面如死灰,咀唇抖動,講唔出半句說話,而財仔嘅手指則來回摸住數簿上面某個地方。310Please respect copyright.PENANAQMFZ1lL30W
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnBSAxqYzZ8
阿琛循住佢手指方向望過去,見到係數簿其中一個單位嘅繳付記錄,財仔摸住嘅地方,寫住:「4/F E室 黎先生 – 2016年1-3月 $1,320」310Please respect copyright.PENANAGNaTf5OmS5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqkqyP2DJlz
「呢個係我地住嘅單位……但我地無人姓黎……仲有……仲有……點解有20…1…6年嘅…?」財仔開始覺得好驚,頭皮發麻,財仔發現完全唔記得自己係點樣出現喺香檳大廈,佢一直都以為係有怪物出現,自己同屋企人失散。佢一直都希望可以搵返屋企人,尤其係佢兩個妹妹。310Please respect copyright.PENANAhTjDjs06Po
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEBjVj1v1a9
自從媽媽病死了,老豆娶咗個「後底乸」返嚟,財仔嘅世界就已經變晒,只有佢嘅兩個妹妹,先仍然令佢感受到乜嘢叫存在。每次兩個妹妹被個「後底乸」虐打,而親老豆又唔理時,就係佢心痛嘅源頭。310Please respect copyright.PENANAHViO7L1krT
310Please respect copyright.PENANACBoUFKbgM5
老豆嘅冷漠對佢嚟講係致命嘅一擊,即使財仔用鉸剪威脅自己,叫老豆出手救兩個妹妹,佢依然無動於衷,老豆甚至大大力摑咗財仔一巴,佢記得嗰一巴打得好痛,唔止塊面好痛,連個背脊都好痛,然後全身都好痛,跟住就不再痛。310Please respect copyright.PENANA33WnGqAEiI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAarRX9byqrW
哀莫大於心死。310Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8DqGSKhyY
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIfbQLuYKeu
半响時間,阿琛見財仔呆咗,用手背輕輕撞一撞佢:「喂,您無嘢嘛?」然後再講:「2016咪2016,可能個看更寫住先嘅啫。」310Please respect copyright.PENANADgrfGcgfr3
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVw1T74WT
財仔搖了搖頭,沒有再說下去,慢慢地繼續揭本數簿,一直去到5樓B室,阿琛叫停了財仔:「等等﹗」310Please respect copyright.PENANAFK4ZEpc3T0
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1ibe2E1FJv
5B單位嘅管理費繳付記錄十分乾淨,自1962年12月起,就已經沒有繳付過,令數簿上留有一大遍空白嘅地方。而數簿嘅左上角,寫住:「杜鳳琴(夜相思)」310Please respect copyright.PENANAkxgFbVMbS1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsnTZum7xjI
「果然係佢……」阿琛心中覺得一陣滿足,卻又一陣失落,由見到「夜相思」的名字起,讓佢記起嫲嫲。「我都好似好耐無見過嫲嫲了……」310Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7DuD7uz7v
310Please respect copyright.PENANA42byrL1iAp
跳過杜鳳琴嘅記錄,後面都係一啲無乜特別嘅交費記錄,而去到最後幾頁,則有幾幅用人手畫出嚟嘅大廈平面草圖,左右兩頁分別係地面草圖及B1地庫嘅草圖,上面按單位寫上了各住戶嘅姓名及電話,部份鋪位上的名字亦有塗改過嘅痕跡,意味住個單位可能曾經轉手,甚至係轉過好多手,因上面塗改液嘅痕跡很厚,似乎唔止修改過一兩次咁少。310Please respect copyright.PENANAI8kJ3rtF0V
310Please respect copyright.PENANAASh4jMFlxR
「呢啲…算唔算係你經理想要嘅嘢……?」財仔指住香檳地下商場嘅平面草圖,勉強地問。310Please respect copyright.PENANAwsBnQXEWLm
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5JShpfESYf
阿琛拎起本數簿認真地睇,平面草圖雖然唔係完全按比例繪製,但都有清楚畫出各條樓梯及出口嘅位置,包括埋水泵房、電錶房、雜物房、升降機機房以及垃圾房位置。310Please respect copyright.PENANAPtf12GkWmS
310Please respect copyright.PENANA35tOU17QhC
「B1……垃圾房?邊度嚟㗎?」阿琛唸唸有詞反覆讀住呢三隻字,草圖上垃圾房只有一個出入口,而個出入口係喺香檳大廈外面,即係應該對住後巷,根據草圖顯示,香檳大廈內係無門口可以進入垃圾房。阿琛對照返左右兩頁草圖,垃圾房應該喺星座冰室隔離。310Please respect copyright.PENANArgTDElY8gx
310Please respect copyright.PENANAktGfYrzDKL
阿琛以前去過星座冰室食嘢,B1地庫除咗一間足浴店、一間戶外用品鋪及星座冰室外,就乜嘢鋪頭都無,莫講係垃圾房,起碼佢從來都無聞到過有垃圾嘅酸醙味。310Please respect copyright.PENANAMnzbobuWHu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXGq8RyD1qX
阿琛再往後揭,就係1/F同2/F嘅單位平面草圖,1/F有大範圍嘅空白,佢知道係戴東尼酒店嘅範圍,所以沒有間隔顯示,2/F係8個單位嘅草圖,寫有佢地嘅名字同電話。310Please respect copyright.PENANAbh9fzUxJeu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOUB1XYODWI
財仔覺得全身都崩緊,伸了一伸雙臂,轉了個身向後望,龍志超仍然係坐喺1號升降機前發呆,唯一唔同嘅係由原先背住升降機門坐,變成唔知幾時褪咗出嚟,對住升降機門坐,望住道升降機門不語,大口地吸氣。而地下嘅嗰具屍體,仍然係靜靜的俯臥著。310Please respect copyright.PENANA1NOghlICVJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOgtYxV0G6T
突然,阿琛「啊﹗」一聲,然後再「啪」一聲,吸引了財仔嘅視線轉返向檯面。310Please respect copyright.PENANAWL9gms1WbK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqU2co9tG1P
阿琛並非膽小之人,但佢無諗過當佢揭到5/F同6/F嘅平面草圖時,會見到呢個畫面。310Please respect copyright.PENANAkYuAZGzsuf
310Please respect copyright.PENANAVhALAxkwfz
紅色「已死」兩隻字,封印住左右兩頁草圖上的每個單位,數唔清到底有幾多個。310Please respect copyright.PENANAk0NQdICqAH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtkJ0LtRpb2
一陣毛骨悚然嘅感覺入侵佢心頭,令佢全身都毛管戙起,不自覺「啊」了一聲,嚇到掉咗手上本數簿落檯面,數簿撞上了檯上嘅漱口盅同埋串鎖匙,全部跌咗落張檯後面嘅地下,發出清脆嘅撞擊聲。310Please respect copyright.PENANAd11qntie8n
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2uF5FPAMbh
剎那間,空氣彷彿凝住了,阿琛同財仔三魂唔見咗七魄,踎低唔敢郁,大家都希望呢一聲響聲唔會帶來更大嘅麻煩。幸好等咗一陣,都沒有任何東西出現喺大堂,佢地先緩緩鬆一口氣。310Please respect copyright.PENANAGMGJvb62NE
310Please respect copyright.PENANA78qjEGrrcU
「Sorli……」阿琛尷尬地講了句對不起:「反應大咗啲……」310Please respect copyright.PENANAPmljJfP8HK
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2aB6nMAfv2
財仔同阿琛企返起身,探頭望去本數簿上面,有好多「已死」嘅字樣瘋狂地重複又縱橫交錯咁周圍寫,幾乎遮蓋晒平面圖上嘅所有單位,唯獨留白咗一個。310Please respect copyright.PENANAuYmMUFaeYR
310Please respect copyright.PENANARZ8dBpALEC
呢個空位,就係5B單位。上面無寫任何名字,只有一個倒轉了,類似「?」嘅一個符號。二人面面相覷,無言以對,心中嘅惶惑昇華到最高點。310Please respect copyright.PENANAfZDhIjoTK0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIKVFyy8X5f
「琛哥……」財仔首先開聲:「不如…攞本嘢返去同佢地研究下…」310Please respect copyright.PENANABdp5Ukodsc
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPfnboSAcoa
阿琛完全諗唔到究竟自己睇咗啲乜嘢,係邊個鎖住本數簿喺呢度?又係邊個寫呢啲字上去?5B單位發生乜嘢事?同杜鳳琴又有乜關係?310Please respect copyright.PENANAS5KAXaEjgq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhzL5eAOm5H
一下子湧出了一堆有待發掘嘅疑團,而阿琛佢無暇慢慢去掘,宜家最重要嘅係帶住呢啲草圖返去錢虹相機鋪,會合經理一齊研究點離開。310Please respect copyright.PENANAz5bJhQEG2A
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdrJNRkCTXk
「財仔,搵下有無其他嘢用得著呀﹗」阿琛合埋本數簿放喺檯面,四周圍裝下仲有無其他有用嘅嘢可以帶返去。看更亭上面仲有兩個吊櫃,需要企上張檯上面先夠高開到櫃門,財仔二話不說,按住張檯就跳了上去。阿琛就趴低睇下檯後面嘅地下會唔會攝咗啲鐵樋或者木棒。當佢趴低後,第一眼就見到跌咗喺檯後面嗰串鎖匙,佢想執返起來,但發現隻手太粗,攝唔到入檯底。310Please respect copyright.PENANA9m4cm3RMOQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUrEZFtAQJt
「喺外面伸返入嚟執啦﹗」阿琛心想。喺檯後面就係鐵欄,鐵欄嘅鐵枝雖然粗,但鐵欄之間嘅空隙仲夠位穿過一隻手入去,於是阿琛起身走返出去大堂外面嘅走廊,踎低隔住個欄執返起條鎖匙。310Please respect copyright.PENANA95nJIMyZVq
310Please respect copyright.PENANA56t2qkKi1d
頭先佢一直都無留意過串鎖匙係點嘅樣,直到宜家攞上手,先發現同佢平時見開嘅鎖匙好唔一樣。「咁細條嘅?」阿琛好奇,佢都唔係好清楚啲鎖匙係用嚟開乜嘢門。310Please respect copyright.PENANAHeFJo9fTDz
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5b4NHj6UrX
一串好舊式嘅鎖匙,與其說係開門,倒不如話係開鎖頭用嘅鎖匙啱啲。310Please respect copyright.PENANAfTQIctLVLN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbbLBFt18zL
正當阿琛準備企返起身時,就聽到一聲駭人嘅叫聲,然後就係一聲「咔嚓」,阿琛見到龍志超雙手拉埋道入去升降機大堂嘅鐵閘,然後跌跌撞撞咁仆到出嚟走廊,跌坐喺地下,指住升降機大堂方向,張口結舌。310Please respect copyright.PENANAzhLh2k4muJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbrT9sbLLe0
鐵閘關了﹗阿琛與龍志超喺閘外,而財仔被困喺裡面。310Please respect copyright.PENANAj5uLNAqfwI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPL4O71o73r
財仔都畀龍志超嗰一聲叫聲,嚇到心肝都揦埋一箸,見住龍志超一下子就拉上了鐵閘,佢企喺檯上面根本就嚟唔切反應。310Please respect copyright.PENANAVVrGR5qmGz
310Please respect copyright.PENANANs7MVp0r7T
「琛哥﹗發生乜事呀?」財仔全身嘅神經都開始抽搐起嚟,佢立即跳落地下,飛奔到鐵閘前。阿琛都立即跑過去想幫財仔開門。但佢地都發現道閘係無把手,無門柄可以開,只係得向住走廊嗰邊嘅有一個鎖匙窿位。310Please respect copyright.PENANAhVmUIoM8TV
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9eEXuv1OmH
財仔聽到佢背後有一啲好微細嘅磨擦聲,或者係碰撞聲,佢分唔到,令佢嘅神經更加緊張。財仔捉實鐵閘嘅欄猛搖,希望可以搖得開。310Please respect copyright.PENANAIiNkrGhwww
310Please respect copyright.PENANAL2dZOGn59s
而喺走廊嘅阿琛,隔住道閘望入去,佢見到有啲類似係曱由嘅昆蟲係升降機嗰邊竄出嚟,先係三四隻,慢慢就開始有十幾隻、幾十隻咁走出嚟,唔止地下,連牆身都有,而且空氣中仲瀰漫住一股濃烈嘅腥味。310Please respect copyright.PENANANlB7p27xcD
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2sdtOlotsc
阿琛愣眼巴睜。310Please respect copyright.PENANAKlJ69gqa68
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGvIWePUpSJ
「琛哥…我後面有乜嘢呀?我唔敢睇呀…」財仔見到阿琛望住後面郁都唔敢郁,自己心都寒埋,佢伸隻手出閘外捉住阿琛手臂不斷搖佢,阿琛先至回過神來。310Please respect copyright.PENANASNsHAKGu65
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoVZ1O9R8yD
「要鎖匙呀﹗要鎖匙呀﹗你嗰邊有無鎖匙呀?」阿琛摸住個門鎖窿大叫。310Please respect copyright.PENANAqF2bSs50en
310Please respect copyright.PENANAotrBLWGpL3
「你手上面咪有囉,啱啱跌落地嗰抽呀﹗」財仔眼見阿琛手上已經拎住一抽鎖匙,焦急地喊道。310Please respect copyright.PENANAyqV6rfBD83
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPp5PJLMYf7
「呢抽唔啱呀,大細都唔同﹗」明知係唔啱,阿琛都嘗試抽幾條鎖匙出嚟插入去匙窿。310Please respect copyright.PENANAYJO1xQqbsQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAudJ3eMVKnc
匙窿太大,鎖匙太少,轉不來。310Please respect copyright.PENANA3QKJi5qfcl
310Please respect copyright.PENANASW0NPkmLtb
財仔無耽誤半秒,走返去看更亭四圍咁拉開附近可以拉得開嘅嘢,希望可以搵到開鐵閘嘅鎖匙,阿琛亦不停咁換佢手上嘅鎖匙嚟試,但一直都係扭唔郁。310Please respect copyright.PENANANX27SMqs2Y
310Please respect copyright.PENANAD5h3boos77
「無鎖匙呀,點算呀!」有幾隻曱甴已經爬到看更亭,仲打算爬上財仔對鞋上面,財仔用力踩死了幾隻,但仍然不斷走上嚟,甚至飛起身撲向財仔。310Please respect copyright.PENANAhgoNDhEpfe
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgHScHOaHch
財仔隨手拿起檯面本數簿瘋狂地撥打,打走了幾隻曱甴,但數量越嚟越多,佢只能夠退返去鐵閘嗰度。310Please respect copyright.PENANANyhqYd5dp6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdCKEa05Jdz
「琛哥,快啲救我出去啊!」財仔已經唔顧到其他嘢,淚水狂飆,聲嘶力竭,然後死命地用力想掹開道閘。310Please respect copyright.PENANAfdCPyDnrek
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8PSP9c6cCE
「您讓開啲!」阿琛情急,索性用力踢,希望可以踢得開。310Please respect copyright.PENANAv32PQAp1y8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAySM7lxZyWo
就喺呢個時候,大堂嘅腥臭味越加濃烈,有更多其他嘅蟲由部升降機入面湧出嚟,而無數嘅蟲當中,有一個人形嘅物體喺升降機中徐徐步出。 310Please respect copyright.PENANA6XuRcfeiUm
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5QXMDSKlQ0
財仔呆了,阿琛也呆了,龍志超喺地下尖叫。310Please respect copyright.PENANAQkVRLMlIWe
310Please respect copyright.PENANA7iEpD7PdSC
人形物體踩住地下嘅屍體而過,一瞬間嗰具屍體就畀啲蟲覆蓋晒。人形物體全身上下都係爛肉,滲著血水,面目模糊,披住一頭凌亂結漿嘅頭髮,明顯係一個女人,而佢正在不緩不急地走向財仔。310Please respect copyright.PENANAcLUADAtDNu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyyLfXu3GEy
宜家唔單止龍志超喺到瘋狂地咆哮,財仔喺閘內喊到呼天搶地,佢腦海中只閃過「死梗」兩隻字。310Please respect copyright.PENANAVIDWKYMxZO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEgF9UU7Mfx
阿琛見狀,更加用力踢道鐵閘,踢到「呯呯」聲,喺呢個危急關頭佢已經顧唔到可能引嚟其他怪物,佢淨係一心想救返個同伴,一個一直都幫佢及相信佢嘅好伙伴。310Please respect copyright.PENANAwtHYyESOgH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMF4Aa1Bzkw
「啊!點解踢唔開㗎!」阿琛越係心急,道鐵閘越係絲毫沒有想打開嘅意思。310Please respect copyright.PENANAe4hWkxXFft
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwgKmkr6rcO
「琛哥救我呀!琛哥!」財仔伸手出閘瘋狂亂抓,就好似遇溺者想抓住最後一絲希望。310Please respect copyright.PENANAut6TzA0oK6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPVDECDAWlc
眼見啲曱甴開始爬上去財仔褲管上,令阿琛都不自覺咁退後,佢抓住自己頭髮發狂咁踏地,眼睜睜望住財仔被啲曱甴逐漸淹沒。「唔好啊!唔好啊!」阿琛恨自己乜都做唔到。310Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZclMIOPCM
310Please respect copyright.PENANALW405ctRZb
「琛…哥……救…我…」財仔流唔出眼淚,雙目空洞暗淡。310Please respect copyright.PENANAn8CVOHawQX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwdVDQmxAC5
突然,財仔耳背後突然聽到句聲音,全身都凍結了。310Please respect copyright.PENANAGNvEHrMNda
310Please respect copyright.PENANAso0yycmx2h
「畀…返…個…心…我…呀…」女屍嘅頭喺財仔背後冒出,湊到財仔耳邊呼出呢幾隻字。310Please respect copyright.PENANAPCQ2Bbnejx
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfU8KiWQ4rL
財仔感到背脊一陣刺痛,並且傳到胸口,佢向下望,只見一隻血淋淋嘅手抓住一個跳動緊嘅心臟,然後慢慢向後抽走。310Please respect copyright.PENANAoE3K5o6QpX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwOSpR8p48k
財仔知道嗰個係屬於佢嘅心臟,被人挖咗出來,拎走。女屍抓住財仔心臟,慢慢向後退。310Please respect copyright.PENANAWd4E8iTngt
310Please respect copyright.PENANACbgF76klHs
此刻,財仔平靜了,佢已經聽唔到閘出面嘅阿琛或者龍志超嘅叫喊,佢深深感受到每一下呼吸的劇痛,而且佢亦知道大概自己只有十零秒左右時間淨低。310Please respect copyright.PENANAADQtPzlrcI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPG9IGfQyc5
廿秒?或者十秒?財仔腦中閃過佢兩個妹妹,閃過以前一家人嘅快樂時光,亦閃過佢要做嘅最後一件事。310Please respect copyright.PENANAvfztxSDuZK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfcDtLQe83q
財仔勉強抬起少少右手,將手中嘅數簿硬塞入鐵閘欄嘅縫中,鐵欄每個格都唔係太大,數簿要稍微屈曲先可以塞進格中。310Please respect copyright.PENANARMkB1GstrH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkCQUp9Jit2
最後一口氣,財仔推出了數簿通過鐵閘,手便掛在閘外,一動不動。310Please respect copyright.PENANA0JJW7Skd3W
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPk94wrCxNm
數簿「啪」的一聲,重重跌在地上。310Please respect copyright.PENANAiJE14lNDr2
310Please respect copyright.PENANAu9dvpge8tK
龍志超突然靜默了,神經質地左右探看,而阿琛淚流披面,望住地上嘅數簿,雙眼佈滿血絲。310Please respect copyright.PENANAKdfyvUFcV9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQKTLBFVU0H
觸目驚心嘅一幕,引來四方八面嘅騷動,樓上一陣嚎叫聲傳到阿琛耳中,地下商場另一邊走廊亦傳嚟密集嘅腳步聲,阿琛知道那些怪物聞聲而至,就在不遠處。310Please respect copyright.PENANAUJhhRA3Dnh
310Please respect copyright.PENANAAkj80dFMvm
龍志超聽到怪叫聲,突然發起癲嚟,連滾帶爬狂奔向錢虹相機鋪方向,阿琛開始逃跑,亦不忘執起本數簿。310Please respect copyright.PENANA6k3aikPYzC
310Please respect copyright.PENANA7KLp906gNv
事實上,阿琛已經望見那些無頭殼嘅怪物由戴東尼酒店嗰條樓梯落緊,仲打了個照面,佢想唔走都唔得。310Please respect copyright.PENANArKNxpFkzWI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbHmNrQBPfT
龍志超已經嚇傻咗,呢點阿琛幾乎可以肯定,佢追住龍志超跑過去錢虹相機鋪,而身後有三隻怪物緊隨其後。310Please respect copyright.PENANAoYqVDinKea
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6XPTt24fDI
只見龍志超剛走到相機鋪門口就踎低,發晒狂咁想推門入去逃命,但似乎推唔開道門。阿琛見到龍志超想逃入去鋪內,感到怒不可遏,加速衝過去一腳伸落佢背脊,踢得龍志超跌低,甚至跣出了三、四呎遠。310Please respect copyright.PENANAJgEFHK6scy
310Please respect copyright.PENANAoaDVwTWsu0
「仆街!你已經累死咗財仔,唔好再累埋我經理呀!」阿琛直情係對住龍志超咆哮,恨不得將佢剥皮拆骨。阿琛走上前,一手扯住佢衣領連頭髮提起佢,用力將佢推前,離開錢虹相機鋪。310Please respect copyright.PENANArmnt5Lzlpq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAF9I3iy2Dp1
最後一次回頭,阿琛望返相機鋪嘅玻璃門,見到黃經理趴係門前望住佢,兩人對望了一眼,呢一眼電光火石,但卻包含咗一個簡單嘅訊息:310Please respect copyright.PENANAl9GF4dOvrG
310Please respect copyright.PENANApKzggLTnDx
道別。 310Please respect copyright.PENANA2ecsGmZX6Y
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5wSEMBiALu
阿琛知道自己能夠返去入嘅機會好渺茫。裡面有咁多人,唔可以任由龍志超暴露咗呢個安全室,否則阿Ken佢地就更無希望離開香檳大廈。310Please respect copyright.PENANApyUKtxBrP5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAeeBQOpc7Uk
面對住三個無頭殼怪物嘅追襲,又帶上龍志超,阿琛無把握有第三次嘅僥倖,可以逃離魔爪。310Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8NVlp8YC9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ1LKVPPZ3
「再見啦經理,感謝你嚟搵我,你地一定要出返去呀!」阿琛心裡最後嘅一句話,充滿了感嘆。310Please respect copyright.PENANAFhjXdeowhq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsSOosCKnGd
佢掉低手上面本數簿同埋串鎖匙喺相機鋪門前,然後繼續扯住龍志超隻手,消失於走廊末端嘅樓梯之中。 310Please respect copyright.PENANAyj9kfqd9pq
