「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbrSYVglaI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCw8V3bIhr
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXj2bjBkW6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0O4t9Wh84
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUD8N5XEp6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG53ekazeC7
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIPNFtEUH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oOoJdNQAF
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFycGItrcE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbU7VwyA8d
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2zFpIE7kx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TuqXYxjg
卻使我心頭一震！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJNOxY7fq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnEqeeJire
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZB5bXjGQY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi1PTKQgor
甚麼解鈴之人。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6iWMQB8o8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmis61d3s4
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7W5Bns5cO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BPXuniYZd
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasfqAoN84D
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz3Z0hFdez
「我無。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifD82Nqw5L
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRLlT0Ky6
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RGZfCB4BC
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vd2Oj1vE
「鈴兒……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzOwPj5oz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t0icEcYLu
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrx9JpXFE1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDAAIAn5yq
「你真係無事？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdbpHxPs20
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVrHgPjus
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh565zLithh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXf3tAdxX6
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHieTWFGRh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgAx8puGFT
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckWRApNdAv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMPd2FErI6
「明……明白。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh3KUCfmFT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5pbSkzvkh
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgG0hdIcn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYqntqAEh
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0plNgQ1mY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL88RddOpaa
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Am4n3rcQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1jd8eDuBt
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsRBJtlurA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlicUTxqJIZ
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobviLSgcNh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnU2r7Np02
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1hVVa2OJG
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkczvVOTAkT
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9pV6xECpY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrMVT9pB6
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzbJc9qz7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYnpPUZ6X7
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJNAYlU1pe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJJwyRbHL
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu4hMxOXXK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJeIDFWwo7
「好。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDTwDNqlKd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9m7IgudMg
沙漏中的沙被停下。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT276dZ2fb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JDaaF0myf
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkEloIvKWn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp9LqYA9yM
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRgMqsArXY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPldXPycD26
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVZU3nUQS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaN8d5ypZs
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v0LgS8lsY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNqrvqApOA
「呃……呃……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzqJzF069i
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdHVcopwyB
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLZ04dwVgU
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0aaUEj9yY
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBfkpTS8ce
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uA7k4aFAQ
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPVNwuWw8c
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7yj5nsBlk
「……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeqMkYrKdG
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2camzpkk8
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKexFqV5m7s
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfP9eI87lR
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdIT10YXgA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D53psUGFx
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8SO3UlLq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWIg8UxDN
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fGJENMPFR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ3njphkTG
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wH0VTch1Y
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77M0BGAlrJ
假如鈴兒是錯的。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvO2asEw9k
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpXifXZUI6
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzFxN5tS1O
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh214mqXawl
「……你咩意思？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKIIWTYe2E
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusp31sHwJW
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreEZyRteFe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6gdFYX7g9
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSihsDf4UQZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMb31E7H8V
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMlqxLCxTK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOoun7d6F
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TbDE9YJjq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgHeR2sfZg
「阡迴之門？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWe4joocVv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKC93lmuL4
「跟我嚟。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImlyuh5Enx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLCPVSUP0w
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrl7BVXKPx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RZ44JTmx
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgGLn5zc2I
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ENOJVa7Yl
「叮…叮……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjyslZBcAp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyhSWPzykw
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35RpW2Bit7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmhVYXdR8
「就會咁。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dHNiJscmq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSLZA0TmNM
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkPvJMGsY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEROsqEpQJV
「係阡迴旅館？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGqhB8bQ91
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeasGp4AWaF
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3B0mtZ2yd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5h81bgUoU
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTe5XurcX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJcg4pKoAg
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKEwXZKpmj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPjExMZe8
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQznCt99N6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8xrDldz7v
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHfueTwJwY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQF1OfHYDY
沒有回去常世的未來。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsVKgsT7Y
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kaC7Lepnz
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44kIdD6wXU
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2pDufUGzB
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRCQXRurWR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xeBzYvnyF
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0OzGMy78
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSiwTdBdQX
可是，卻——351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5c22dzvf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeYf7ZyCUv
「無。」鈴兒說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANIWzb40sQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvS30cTeAm
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaJYVohG7T
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHBIlOmeSb
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJf4yfQJ8W
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQ7nNFJzC
「真心咩……」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu4veeapXW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1naFsRfzo
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN8RHRozne
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcErQV4wCR
我一時間答不出來。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2cdx5OdY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkSqNrcJ18
回家？當然了，我想回家。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgYUPDqXWh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpRtP9jgv8
但之後呢？351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yyZPL46vq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLeYwwzFn
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcCHKcwpZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0I5BEu7o
我甚麼也不會成為的。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqa3gLkqvT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4Tpw3MiM
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ycNdYVCz7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP2dzVpF4x
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Co2XE3fAC
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC5gZzR0c3
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSsuiM3z0v
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxntP2vHTwn
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58dMEeFhLu
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RiUzcrSNE
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra53tJ2bgP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96CqhcoLNX
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFNUuGNzFv
