「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLqRAh8sBo
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoXJleJaVe
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfspC8Fc6Gk
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea855zgwm3
「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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2jAIIYRYV
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcRuGuK523
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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFgtig3e4s
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lp5BuaaIC
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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV2xzYNWQr
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKPPCbgAP
沒法子。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDU9jETZ2T
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3tw6VQc27
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！594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8dgnuFFLu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdHcER8TTU
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6asl0YqOu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGSDnUNMz0
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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhh90PRGZo

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7VICl8Wtk
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34HwYh8WMv
「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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvejyI8Skk
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1rUaeDoL
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。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUQt7RRgdM
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXScbJxmq4
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCYwO9Mz7r
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvBBc0lm8F
「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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakkEM3UmUD
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ255CEGivul
「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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY1hSOOWhq
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zLlPGPLv
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ09HEVHJzQ
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIgnyyYrVX
「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！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbcqu7Khr
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0pQcp52K
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaqgveRSdG
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRoYlqkL4
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRVf7afKQY
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDpyXZkO57
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUjX2yLfm
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimv5DmopL
「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。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j5PncimJw
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOMXD8lxw
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95cXZeFyZI
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCWjv3wz9
「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？594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YBdzkxUU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNy3GcdLzC
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba7iV2dkbe
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAFAyZil9R
「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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334ZbKzrRx
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67moBVFL11
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvaUxxZeHw
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL7HE5cxVN
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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1ppCTBxLH
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHP7nsGsRf
像虛擬世界。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrl7zRamYi
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd93ziT27n
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCTP5wgF51
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLjrlhs0pE
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffy3pf2Bj1
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZCF6nNOtx
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogGpVUyWd5
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjFo3PI2nt
店外，夜色蒼茫。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KFKXYDN2b
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbtO3FE2a
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。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhOh4nkfM
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkszpF3Rv6Z
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。
