愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbMfLFZbAJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MrmWWjWXR
但準確來說，是前攝影師。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0wnHPd22
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammeaS42jd
「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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YOxUzlOc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpPPJrPQek
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXUNJdpsHP
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiLXQFnrfB
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y3zrlMDiM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2oIDjUvgJ
「好靚係唔係？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0worNhFBN8
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkR8jk3JHa
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstKFx4RutO
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJgtT79FS
「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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVx5QgTK1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SvqMl9DIp
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmYNTOiC1O
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwLiyOedkq
「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……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49OiK8ht9T
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNehjcrRA3b
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc1EeLQgQs
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW25QuXf5Lz
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKlHDWZU7G
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe4fe97xNr
「返去嘅理由…」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbIFov76v0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p1DoIndTt
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQEMMu9OB7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LBJ5MDLwc
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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvmKfcnkE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjWSeKZzur
「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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uogBqZgQR
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e6s7eDM7z
我心中一沉。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1rkJAvTmy
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7KTBOm32
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtoh6phqIk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vqh6cQhTr
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I4D2bU8ij
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIee7EsbphU
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs70Yp5XWMk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8tv3Em5J
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj7xIKTNmv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0woc6Y2WY4
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e1rIQVbwM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ1PL3Wt87
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmprRk0Gty
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacPQqdqQ6F
「我始終想再睇多次。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhRjTyp9W
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYKy2GLJgk
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8jtvomrjx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21cueR3fxv
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DzN0cYx8w
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAVsQ94rtw
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…？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsVvn2sAk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEgRFzv5x
甚麼跟甚麼。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq39tubRwI
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjg6FpQwLf
「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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcvbKaTODi
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGNdJnHIB
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99O8FwadLK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX9JAKPSCq
「例如——」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY1Q05Atmn
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5LgsvWg1e
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRSCGzCNva
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJth2tAq7o
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg9XpG0bjr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOoWc0ULIf
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvq4MFSo3Q
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1gBvA5Z1E
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdioMuLaquE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBHiFozgnx
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4nJDJbIfB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsGMUD37oq
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD0IIDgbJK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k2E9IjB58
「Hall 2B？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNdDqV1X5
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuriwtSyKg
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」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U4Lymaqzz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SwBDhHFUp
「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？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hK7XnguuE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCJDWzrC1a
我點點頭：「嗯。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8GHHo9Req
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS72EcnEFM8
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nPGY3cAno
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3mvZXkcWt
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsmYS4TuQw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bF1tCQ6b9
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZK2wCsxNX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEzDOzYScV
「嘎——」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex7AInArIX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjbJ1kPDif
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISHdeNXJx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5afHZ9G8KM
「呢度……！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQQiwo4tbO
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV9XL0lT41
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7NCNxrDuE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFWiM7p1ok
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaSEZFPcgm
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zr20DB0lu
「咦？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97J9tIkJle
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tlwAMRfH2
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06t8GKwZkr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTtiTSOYJv
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZx25oK6F
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9El6xo1P1
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThUVK0io3k
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLMRGZTwku
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJjRxYORh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSldvHqx3eA
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8f3ODDu3
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQ1xvJanm
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWtGfwCiEP
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RNto3lmhH
「呢度係……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRFi1sRugu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFPMTfjjHN
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pLLVUm0Ze
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgTZnkR0Rs
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLxFZcgB3
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHesWmAkff
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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOVNm7hzm9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVnS5XbXMk
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DYk9fivLL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ne4ihsrcB
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCnq18ypYJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5RknQoE4P
就在那瞬間，我看到了。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnaOK5nIwr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8GvqCOPh
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSowbvxDrty
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oMfagYzG6
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi27uSncE4
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuejXE9qDZ1
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHVubDajZ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0BHoEYL4D
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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTi27KulZM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5imjmtSNKu
「我地行呢邊。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4Xm1emUd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpz3O1vrn
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVSXqN2jLk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3DCP5jRyM
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5nkaj7roA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS5BX22JEr
「嘎——」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmhO2bwomY
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZ0AAP5AJ
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFKez8sM79
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomq3t1WTuk
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPlMlVNXZB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3piIT8yT13
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrWOGba2Lv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8B6byBDGv
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ANSgNet4M
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3PwZnCwwa
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Em6q8g78l
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWLSBhmaXp
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQDQCOyvF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGr0j408L
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eBuGZYFqO
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oC3jDpZGA
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iOtoq3rsc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68IW02e6W
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrGuyJQPnJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2p7bBRO8
但唯有那一句不變。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVWQ4gUfq3
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GxczuO6Y9
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYapfxaRdN
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYBNH8QS6C
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
