把手吹乾後我推門而出，才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂，耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCU0tQUOAA

「啲人呢……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7tCO7ZZK
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh0nrsXDic
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳，那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物，它們還是暖的，牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著，紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上，一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sKSSCtAt3
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHSqtokn5p
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出：「喂！！有無人啊！！有無人係度啊！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloS3Awh9hO
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E8Sh2ofOd
「……係……度……啊……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJGsvcG05I
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRnPqMqpF4
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥，逢門就開，見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框，門後卻沒有阡迴旅館！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4y8qCcntp
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhGCnUrZe
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6tTAWOLWI
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORP3VKtQvP
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間，阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能，我們並非真正到達了未來，所以在「展示」結束後，這空間也開始消滅了嗎？！等等我還在這兒啊！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn2tTnSuy0
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHxJFLoeA8
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外，外頭只是一片漆黑，連地面也不存在！整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中，我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVHUeAqXqX
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwUe0kIu1
現在怎麼辦，現在怎麼辦，我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎？398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAsRZOO7mn

「喵～」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RGXvwlaCk

「渺…渺渺？！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSocg6FRFYZ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNDjWC2Nyy
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth5QWOmCAW
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLLdzEUO4b
「叮鈴…」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKU8aUZTRC
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZZIrn1WU2
風鈴聲！真的是渺渺？還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了？！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNTil28XSa
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh69BEHXECp
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cfBq7zAuz
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewGuibDhYo
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqVyoI3k1i
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhG1LCBXhI
走廊盡頭有人！！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarlPfVvHJ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvebu7nMeA
「……小姐！等陣！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkVs0sVLa2
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH1dhcOXKk
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞，繼續向走廊深處步去，不行，這兒就只有那個女生在了，不能放她走！！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaD59sZmt9
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66SMo3IfEF
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL5NuvXD0w
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHtltEqqOA
更可怕的事發生了，隨著我追向那女生，我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出！牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中，視野中的景深突然變長，走廊深似無盡，身後的昏暗正洶湧而至！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG440U1ELR
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT85cvfu6b
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wusPNrLO9
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybSw4smXRy
等等，那人是！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOmrcFh1Kj
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzKxLUPS6P
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbIvXCZr5k
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusMZQxLJNj
追……追不上！我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延，她就在視野之中，但我卻永遠追不上她！！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYMGpw9qw
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hn6Euz7pH
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7J9nrDbJf
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QZBNtOc3j
「砰！！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXRfOgmZGj
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiBeriZybp
「哎呀！嗚…」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTeFjl38N7
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhigoT3Af9
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板，狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門：「鈴兒！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGv6lIFR1h
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIv5YDsImO
「……我識得你？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuohvrYJzBd
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHXCqe0EUx
咦？398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvVrh91dM
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Vt1yN8Kx
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRHl96prYj
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXrAyXDA1H
氣喘如牛的我站直身，發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中，米白色的牆壁，灰色膠地板，還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tV7bkRdvB
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJHiGwLqE
一看便知這是醫院。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqkpebYKI7
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RsfZL9z3
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhfbDrRMbB
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM4Kr0AZwu
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSMDnEST4c
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6KCTThfrz
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCO9LR6ICh
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24vohjfrXf
「但係……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwFHjiidkQ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2YCv7qu8Z
她眼中沒有一絲光彩，沒有一絲生氣，只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵，甚至不知她是死是活。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5jyKN51Lu
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQinlYOjTqd
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛，如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9NN2akeRF
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFL75FPyGC
「我返去做野先。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgy3zcaByD
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlMaDQEyxm
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視，那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄，但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5NCZSvQ0C
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM2ZWiFoK2
看著遠去的她，我完全摸不著頭腦，她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了？398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOhKp2m6Yw
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFz5wyJdJz
但馬上我就看出端倪了。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt26FjLtMP
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gK61gxt21
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYulyeBurv
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNAJk18e7P
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rzVF9mFZQ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIVa31lUOh
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAslDcZOp9
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M6bKNAQ5F
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5walu7mj
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemMi5hhtCZ
［13座 西翼4/F］398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYKDLyaTB
［安寧病房］
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6DnNLIb5
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQN0GyCwJ9
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著，加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌，她是安寧病房的護士。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1fWs6j3h
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6btrFNDf7
才一想起剛剛她那神情，那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情，除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重，如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYK7O3bFEw
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk84Z6aEUqD
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkP4EEvvA7
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw0BbW4KRr
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步，入住這兒非為了治療，而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦，使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著，能保有最後的尊嚴，而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMarosDTSJ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rAFSuujec
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中，身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人，只要不動聲色就會自動被無視，即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉，所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQRSWHDL4
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPEHwmIqP4
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚，通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室，當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURKmFkazKA
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxmcXj5sVP
「明白。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRIkkT0s3t
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nofJKCug
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏，連悲慟都沒有，在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlebJ1lkd5X
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU3kY8IZp4
好冰冷，她的表情。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCfl8UrQlH
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRzPqCOSPP
好陌生，她的身影。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lqLA4fcIH
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8RiJ3vmIy
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說：「我會通知工友Standby，盡快清好張床俾新病人。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpisfjoViO6
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKBjJofBl
「嗯，至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上，要多加注意。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXUwJg9wWz
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinCod27Fqx
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWQF8mOCFF
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduCxk1RTFS
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuECebcurrb
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspCNWmBfA2
「係。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4VSPAelra
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWyexnfNqo
其他護士點點頭轉身離去，還順手關上門，我當然站在那兒繼續聽。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WHxI7iuMw
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PgEt50xCc
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床，夏姑娘，我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZH0MZ87b
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxo9ajPeIr
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDepX3oER
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb2AmI4sv3
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8yoFiyZt1
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiYNfleon8
「我認為自己無需要知道，如果我有需要知道，護士長早就俾咗資料我。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tfmlyW3v
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZlri1eLPO
「當然，但理由我希望自己親口講你知，你會主力負責佢，其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxy8Cf26O
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyj9nSc3Y0
「咁原因係咩？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u7FSedJ6e
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnX7bNSu0F
護士長拿出一份文件：「你之前有無睇新聞？嗯，身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pltdqsQQn
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Nb44XMdS
「喵！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMFlcMJAst
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADIbn9hbey
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺，我連忙低頭一看：「渺渺？！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXEZD50z1
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CCLaGcBq3
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出，在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨，然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvw2FZoZM4
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNHk6bleGy
「渺渺，等埋我！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoXxNtWVfN
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xm6tCxvTA
是來接我嗎？正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時，也是渺渺在引路，牠知道回去的路！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICl4gDk2e5
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQCjh7YZz2
「渺渺！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBX94N7Tyf
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5Ebn9Pt4
難得看到回去的希望，雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了，怎可能放渺渺跑掉！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCtBXk967
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUPx5WG3vN
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUgLJYB0Ub
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZf55L0YxQ
「喵哈？！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms5IHhbS9Q
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgRPXGLgq3
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WkvsjGTH
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTiSz4HkZB
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC9YhQLeOv
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVShhcKYNr
「叮……叮……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgm40UNTQp
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sTJFFd8wd
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrvciYxcgM
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOgDZoeN2e
「…嗄…呼…」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fxXza0DC
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIQ2S53yH
深呼吸，閉上眼，我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽，聞聲辨位，試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDIYEQICWP
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1owBfrPPrI
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYUgELxzK1
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk4Wfql66j
「叮……叮……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5gN4U5o58
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1HiJmx2z
鈴聲相當悅耳，閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中，青天白雲之下，屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfUyQMfMgG
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWFi0VmyEM
找到了！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3fIXbV2c
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ix170bEhG
「喵！」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe5SRm30Ad
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HX9JKcqyq
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿，爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上，我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozcAr015zH
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPj3k1MMS
光芒將我淹沒，待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHmZjEJHLQ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk3DkWtHP7
回來……回來了！398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHltzg3lczK
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAroM6C4Wp
「呼…呼…」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z2KjyYFxm
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wW5JZfPXL
定眼看四周，我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定？因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板，木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂，而這層沒有任何房間或門，就只有半開放的戶外空間。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxHtBMLGbk
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLBOjPAAaN
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5alppR6YU
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2sqO8hK7F
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台，露台朝西迎向夕陽，那兒鋪著榻榻米，放著一張矮桌和座墊，一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒，身穿白袍背對著我，一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimuaxGbNhP
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvSFbLC3j
「你係……」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbXcQUH2ba
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx1MnzJCjI
「熟人。」398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzfn8bg2VQ
398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8qEDsWcEc
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑，即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容，但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳，好像看到久違的老朋友一樣，盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
