「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkOjcCyz7J
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80E49qoguT
「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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYJ7kmN4W
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiVquFOAgF
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VV5B5eRCk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA4A6n3fqC
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7UYlFVFc3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipxGHP3wK
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5NXDysvCE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzVCLKXfW
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYvjSbONu3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZbDM0fuG7
卻使我心頭一震！396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3207IOdXmb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcJdYRuT26
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hp6b2QAQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUqizZC8DP
甚麼解鈴之人。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwBzVPcSnG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgwlT4dlW
「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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh8QDnVaTp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7dud61PSD
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Dd08Vcly
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRxudk1VXJ
「我無。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVf4MKQ7lv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsp0pEIbQG
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWCsGHZe4x
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZXkNh12Wk
「鈴兒……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzN9pGPYD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7bXdm0TI5
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthwlWWmXi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap3M57LK65
「你真係無事？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaf8pyV2H0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSp8CC7uXN
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i24l1hJQP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrlI8k81oF
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcasN7XDS9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIVQnL9MNi
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTZWQ7Zhq1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRYzq5QBQc
「明……明白。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FHkiCmjB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBmIkAj5eb
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！396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL1G6lisae
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7cj73KzAp
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZjbqhGIPh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFExMXRP4tM
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde0fFU6pO3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBySYpaIu
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmezdl06rn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnt96ZkwDg
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0l8tCiUA2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV1stIHJpN
「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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7XQKFRliP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS8q6Cxs7
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK5emQX57A
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqP1RFm2eJ
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMrewMBMou
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspXoct2xsr
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOlMB6yEAw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwWUsYwBiE
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc5MGPc3QX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCUtkygLz
「好。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwqnSOSgT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTiFCycnQ
沙漏中的沙被停下。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdXC8NbLSM
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKGKSP39U
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTEzU36krh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpE263HYPw
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSrurB0uv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzhTBtHK3P
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3wNLTtQZg
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW5gFfRiLi
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlotEs0Sr7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1dK6G3Qye
「呃……呃……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeLH3wTNEr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXUUd5DRe
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpGZrPXl87
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAYgczQmUP
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzemLFHSkpm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xrETJWFDl
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6InXhn4JAT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0batYazte
「……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVNtGa2LFW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKbJ0bo9Nf
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqXBGy7P6k
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEx01Ekusb
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVJSMgXgSc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYPHBXZFKH
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Sb4Xipwy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDIuqMz3rp
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhYGXNpzzQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m7dWQmKye
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx0I6VJJB5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOF2VJwTD4
假如鈴兒是錯的。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd2J3wgbKF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rMYiJfmyS
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomEs4NzQiU
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxwRdsQYB
「……你咩意思？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJg19wdkTA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CV9hBJJG
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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGhnFdaCuP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNmw7jWTuN
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZN90d4RrW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngLJnhlS1
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBuRctnTNJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliyZRcJZpf
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp9ZP2C6fq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrqUUuPEjf
「阡迴之門？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE4OHc1SDv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufE44bw2ib
「跟我嚟。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpRiYyXBZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgRuB5UIOr
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjNtrufeqd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuh7kfstHQ
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kH9GI1Pn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFuxqGVPl
「叮…叮……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicMeCFlrjl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KCQKkXpYD
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhM9eCZs6v
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAIiflKm8g
「就會咁。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MYVDIpEhX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdIJ1kqDdV
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mIX3W8eA2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLWTNp6Wbj
「係阡迴旅館？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPdl1YOFK8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCkHOzSxoS
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WSvJ5XSi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuRHo72alF
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQynA1LsiC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MTBOjLO39
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LSU5rO0V
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxXiZkHem
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiFPEmYU99
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r56sT8wat
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO4dl2wqIw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibkucGjLto
沒有回去常世的未來。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD7bsiv72d
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYppbFEOr5H
「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！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemd63G61nz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbokEc7Ou9p
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjkMdE3szW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHoJWsk7o
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLLeNERtKV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOHlMzBEU4
可是，卻——396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQfuVDpuf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Xffp36Je
「無。」鈴兒說。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDyrLwuKo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXmsCZla6E
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8HaSp0Doj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeFFCDooHa
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2a6IF9Und
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK3jhSJnQ0
「真心咩……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu7P2uZgi4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBveQC2WlW
「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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj7H00j5nn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvrAMpbpAr
我一時間答不出來。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi0RaLsdVi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypl6lMDgI
回家？當然了，我想回家。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIcvNMFBlE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh7ra5OQyy
但之後呢？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZDRXwt104
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroZfNZ42QP
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？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb4ixYjsVC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6eLWCXfga
我甚麼也不會成為的。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDYnbWOe7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoiHf5YTKK
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？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHjUGRgrpS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ungcn9f9N
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJCPHfG0kJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H2Cp8WMDz
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GSzTUV9O
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwgWpEwyl2
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BCbEpN2Gd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAU8L2lvEI
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrFsxcnO7c
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVZ8bU1nf6
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILrZb4iNXI
