愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDEKWu6kE8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiUZMtjZQp
但準確來說，是前攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KTYmh6jcF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInFJ4U7cm
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV7Af33CsM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uFx0vN3x2
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ie4wWzu9X
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX3ODBHBrT
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEKg6jex0c
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxBKQrYqvX
「好靚係唔係？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ZQk5nnID
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJVrqbctt
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF3m3etijq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxewgJ8ax
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5R3z17dFC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlBNV1CTK3
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rpSB8V73P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UiinUOuMA
「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……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjuYXJ2LHF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQIXCB0XVt
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jE7k7I1sJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NiNZQd3G
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCVL3t1Ml
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoUMYfMCoY
「返去嘅理由…」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BzkQBXCBM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7KvJcfari
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSyILB45mg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL85BLlVlY
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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeclvSsjL4A
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxdBhD4OYi
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SggvpweLt
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFbvOfCElO
我心中一沉。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNBS214qiw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW1GiHQVmF
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke1xSBMPUV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHm4cv5DG5
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSewiYJnAG
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd9UDKJVe2
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi2Z47ltIB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBD6mJdXOs
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtY9mxUlme
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvr27TLVhp
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtrylwNJH4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzBhmgBLB8
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHa5lL819I
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKOAQL4BJ
「我始終想再睇多次。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI14A6ZMiYD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnITPcXVuU1
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5YxjCi0E9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapeI7roVW9
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHiNQh2CuG
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV36TK2oSN
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…？840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MRhAtAc6R
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ595iZrDMkT
甚麼跟甚麼。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRPI4f0l02
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhFoOCMVKr
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Id3WM2te
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPnRPv3ki
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq71fme4kG6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GEQpCrkWx
「例如——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGp2zDyIq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqAp1xUshk
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Tsokehhh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780jkjDoCb
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0aVTnKPP
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KM3G0r57
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0hPV4sm0P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeIjhz0kyp
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ0j9yxzb6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs5INO7bVM
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsP1vhja6c
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ235z1mycK6
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtFZYv3S10
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAWo7Pn4kv
「Hall 2B？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYoH0OI0z
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYVshcYJ4f
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」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wpriBB1Lg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldm6VQcy3a
「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？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwpnWry1V
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ16VFlmcM
我點點頭：「嗯。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKRdH6I22U
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1vTwsfxag
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7PTiP6bg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeiUnuXpmq
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu2t7ijqLB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdc07e8WMx
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZItBlA8IC2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH3zWeJXxj
「嘎——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmNScKr7Q
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAzjNcbxp1
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFoisMOetY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS11TiwHFVl
「呢度……！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJWiuDVd9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQvDojVy3
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeMAYB0Vc2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KSD3PX4ov
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……840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq890oWUm2b
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsMuJSiS1v
「咦？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb9AOTEZ5X
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPrzDb70FU
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpAc82Ov9F
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTnwM0jut2
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBzoPj0Rmn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWcYZGOAbJ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa1ig0YTZr
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ9QtIezMF
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomxgH4SQ6K
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Oc46tOUX
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtzxHVsJ1Y
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHetbDrL5jb
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f5EVdwqiz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1JqkZulCX
「呢度係……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mv0JQSqNi
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy0oIaZIUc
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov7zXColMc
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUEWosDBU
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnSgVk0tEP
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0wRDqTKCK
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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwHpI0Kg2H
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTFlF8eetS
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0zgGQEyfu
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfIUUX7RE
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVzntyNi6T
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRsIgQu1U
就在那瞬間，我看到了。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYxQ67qIf3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85aeD88T98
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaE5N2DGMS
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQopsGChIf6
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEWlcrNS4K
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FgKxyaawK
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUdwchnh64
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OaicpOpga
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？840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHFVGzu96s
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu8p9PgZFj
「我地行呢邊。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNK3LvbHeJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TF8D2m2HF
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFurELJUWsS
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4CjDOQD3a
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgVanFi8wY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtZTdLNFAx
「嘎——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FdkCS33F
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsDCfkvHcm
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfBc9qnoWD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZease9Zicz
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2Gbv4J2s
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCKAV3jmXu
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFk6p7SGIz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AdZaKA2fh
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5PnVo0e7A
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YOgvotah0
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPIj0hkCJY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRnuxHvw4s
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpPsWs9bRq
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABZya2qN4g
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDXRueD8H
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8mWGYhDc
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISP4ABn4im
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJUXHqoUTT
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTtf2AHr2t
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTTYva4kAG
但唯有那一句不變。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXk9KlDCc
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAlaWYhZ6w
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi2RS8iSjx
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkVHgMjkmy
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection836ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0spey3YQr3 尼
