「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJV22vq5dd
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e2ouowuXO
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16dVkM4aLc
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARQmv5c0J
「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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1sIYi1X7x
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDN1YDb1CU
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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9TMAKqly
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBQ913CZ9B
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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVVFjaJz8v
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV447J2kiPN
沒法子。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpyxHx1FJN
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpO5A5hDfZ
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！665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXBEupBxhR
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7ddh83Ur
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJybJc3AY6J
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3kzEjUCZh
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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g97q6s1m5

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37XrPmEnHK
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdWZdfoioJ
「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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhXzocY9Fw
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnZAm0QdvU
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。」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXzKogwYYO
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFxLngKE6Q
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTlA1QcuRR
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdqIq6mmS
「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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPYKPDVRV
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OhcEW1tod
「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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoVhOuisza
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3cz2EHf7
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dcHrdPNFg
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVcZ432dw
「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！」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AGFjS3fLl
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVZ4gslJhW
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gxDO7NDt8
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknteBQLL7J
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG95N1NGf1U
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaZ4fNCXMF
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ALuEZCsg
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EjNnD6vWV
「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。」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pHnGfpL0e
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NBmOryQx
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwFJ5Xgk4f
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvYXbpexK
「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？665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdIx6RDBA3
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5K69ibv8u
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpesAIJEyX
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAVp8t4Sqt
「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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tjQtpwQAI
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojaYhStXCG
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwM749puIN
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJTbAHtXDT
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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MP0ChJVFn
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrX4ImhpkX
像虛擬世界。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJHHVECmAC
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9nADqvpTG
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bbDcROjx7
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0PebjXCEm
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Dl5r3zVo
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFk5AiSm24
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3JvaWgn2k
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPRt5thlm
店外，夜色蒼茫。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60PxoHfA2m
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJO6JzH1a2
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。665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSvLcvEJlQ
665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMLqCOybvM
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。
