愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ylgBvBokS
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hsvc1iHEf
但準確來說，是前攝影師。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7EjMN9BYS
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJoPoNvcW
「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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPvXwK3O9L
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjnHGsvKJ8
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5b1CHYSt8
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0L5I7Mvp
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0n1fxsiey
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c4QHaH409
「好靚係唔係？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wxNDoBXEG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRh9YThTtm
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXJcISK5x
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH8AcIwzae
「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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJabb7CZy
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIyT3r0utz
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWMCNJ8Lb
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBaRyk8FP
「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……」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNsq5ZoAr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKiCBCXVgE
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLis3uAJV4
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ce2raF2I
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSL2tspsyN
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXcC1kcN38
「返去嘅理由…」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjc0MnZ6RM
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIo0GOW5xa
「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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2VHgOZzS3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvV1MsISkn
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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyoDVufNhN
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVfvu3bLBu
「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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitwuc7UUk7
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k1QWT9dD2
我心中一沉。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaLe0Sn9iS
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiOnDiaS28
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIreQ4Q1r94
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6hFBlm0r8
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAkutgaUnT
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNytTa3x3c
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw6QjxMK4H
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AaMtPILV6
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUmJn0wcv6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5EbT1lFSv
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigOR8BdqZ4
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC3eScZBdc
「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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFVpKXgNS
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OYxYoirKU
「我始終想再睇多次。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SLNkb0Odn
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wsG5Bo084
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0mH2q9g3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oYVfjzEUe
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXx402B6cI
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglqlAV4SGj
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…？485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlS65fKhI7
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW1tYkAvsL
甚麼跟甚麼。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Be8udNmKw
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqaOtYLEb
「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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2MwE84RuF
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdiOarRxxu
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMJWAU9fj
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhyrtHLWdp
「例如——」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5wrLkour0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOoIsxKvZc
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIum1FHndwJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwuIE6LcBf
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlccxkhj7h
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeyoUhgjwB
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglNsJ7X7Ar
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eZVQFxqqq
「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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KfKrvJalJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0glSDPp9
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfRBpTN8EJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNE8odirQj
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjWJSHgOrs
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaEzE3Cmw5
「Hall 2B？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFknTPtpK0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9cOqwaZoV
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」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoCWEnZPQK
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOjwlMlwF
「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？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRilhMH1fpQ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxs3pBUl4h
我點點頭：「嗯。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTJOc2TZHw
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2PBZWHJ5l
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CfgFkba77
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiU0wDL0oS
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z8zSJPmr4
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTIMeO77yd
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCPBv8lc1c
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKMjJ8SPn
「嘎——」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bLPHRhFwv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdPMUTSUrZ
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！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVmpSfDMzq
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cgphkAHg9
「呢度……！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOuuGeSxQ9
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMOS3aP1d
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pc55G9q3k
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXbklZwnLi
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……485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgjwrBYblp
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsklbz3Re9
「咦？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiGCJK4ElV
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3r1XuVIRi
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH0iAbgtpR
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmy42ah1MW
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiipdZjUbuq
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8FnN0kx5
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfAWcsx1C5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOvpPvLW1H
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPM15I3Vl8
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFe1DvzE4s
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT90FtOfPbD
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyM9Ige9aC
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SrY9iUUUl
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoovRHYxysb
「呢度係……」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vU17vbtX
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxpCnpazdj
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8UQtsf00n
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BveSLzUvV
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm0uESuTG1
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQkJXSR83q
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。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N1HK7tfZ6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHowloOQ4o
「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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAOEfeCmS
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbabpAvWr
「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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx7GRU4wqG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkTqs4Pl8v
就在那瞬間，我看到了。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a0wDJgKPp
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡervq2f6sbb
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！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tIJLVP7Ow
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjIbkLUp7
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhok6o4ht
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP6mJaRBvp
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnoIKC0aKk
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7AjW3rQga
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？485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm9Uvr0UYQ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFGrDa2X6
「我地行呢邊。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKsyQWZ0qj
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTDKxSG9M7
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7NaIRGbfv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13U8nZps3
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！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10e0j6DdZW
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEUTEJQY5
「嘎——」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRFm3I7qCn
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Rh6N7E09
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！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTuJlI25pv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8cePt3SVN
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGurUjrHZm
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzfo4rpveC
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7705M6SGQv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU8ZBT42RF
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNiyws4VP
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxLSTnJo7L
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYApvXMCXQa
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguu4mvyHAy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC1O8uKCez
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5kPDGYtoX
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx71nefKUW
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7idOjYjgL
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVawIPCcenp
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT07MH7bdE
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。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoz0OxVqcu
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeKnCl33iC
但唯有那一句不變。485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Iuzm6GKi
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0p1zAooY
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGj9jkGWF
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0R7eyOLe
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
