愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZMvBZktV
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zpICmwU2b
但準確來說，是前攝影師。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuSud2GtjQ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGBQKr8w6
「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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMUSyoisqp
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX386F3iLe
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOj4UewfoO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb8Nbi5ULQ
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfRBQgQmAz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0JKQ1a1IS
「好靚係唔係？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkxdxUqMpo
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vLk48x1xt
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW160USf89o
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELSYbf7u5V
「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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcaGQpfjO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDY0Mfw8YC
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZX9hCdy4x
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvC3iKSQZO
「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……」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tOxhhnHXC
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtue1GiNufk
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxG8ZbXE9O
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdACnME4BP
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtySjbtgyi
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN89QW18wZ
「返去嘅理由…」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRndhJEssPQ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh6dfQzMR5
「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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSRgktl7hE
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAUdDKTnrp
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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXfIPzwiTm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl1GtjdjNx
「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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4USoWMaCz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwEUerdpO
我心中一沉。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0RtASmgUP
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4q6q3VOgF
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPqpQso7Rj
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuphNujXLQ
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnBdBZNWdO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwTInQXsQI
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIlAfYWphL
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo15EpUbc8
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1fT95JPy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah3kzcAvoN
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfbXBtWanm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr8k5hB2Yl
「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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLU25xPDm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5raYDfFs
「我始終想再睇多次。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY9vkPEDHq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9OqyBjhpx
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLiRtsht9n
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A3MtuCk5w
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5AwfVQaZ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pY4yBq72p
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…？341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtif5MBxqbJ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA64F63Qm3Y
甚麼跟甚麼。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCr8FYbeIf
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnVkoEHlB
「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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVY2r5Juq2
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuIMG0Z0HX
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPQmG9RoW
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrDZQUt5PN
「例如——」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF12WGKUQI
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf0UWiQvcw
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyoLmu99vz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeplvKsiyS
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpGIOOpxw3
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59fRf0360
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Su3siWjuj
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDES8SJdww
「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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdpL88J2e
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W3d60lnad
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpwjm0F9lS
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySfaUt1jW
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqATymCeGl
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMgVBwuZ7
「Hall 2B？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdJgsWNOt
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLTZWLa7B
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」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PFZusgCh
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVChKfX2SKb
「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？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCLxHhlCPg
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGX5Q7XQfn
我點點頭：「嗯。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7EQRQB4dy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd6AfUnI5x
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapYgp1ac0
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb1Rqt4FTK
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXoSsNjNd
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQumTlopT9w
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC2g7V8QIk
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcmOjciTXI
「嘎——」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcjhBkhBVm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewyXC2Qvwj
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！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeYgCjAh62
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lPDynhuyv
「呢度……！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8u3hcakJ9
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOuNB0BqI8
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jBDbEv2su
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB39JgC1OVK
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……341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt0cip2lZ0
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkAayL4lO
「咦？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGbZKVFNaP
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXm1hLKrs
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQaFZBftst
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSLiNH1l9V
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelcyfdx03F
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1N9fONOQ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJKjNh3Yu
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgbWRrzbos
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEX5icCybk
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen5BjD6kvD
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ld6PELokq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp9DwkdVlP
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lBsS53RCy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzUBaNosqU
「呢度係……」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAMUUVkfUm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eo554yJ2E
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhzUbQvz80
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU6BY7zpPP
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaXtXBsDfb
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgS24NEnG6
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。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxAYqwFD3
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbTOc7Vb8m
「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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSxae8wtgg
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwBCBcfGlg
「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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZKtTsOpf
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1QDaVEuS
就在那瞬間，我看到了。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYU3RQ1Bl
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg3qcTxLFf
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！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSCy1t4vS2
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRFbb9yZa
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWy814bZ3
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHKdWUX7l
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSIVl8bBGD
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9K3Sx6pcp
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？341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gWAmr98oO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAsuZpqkFG
「我地行呢邊。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcakciK1lQU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttqhFOg3ld
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPAGuhRXHh
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhVLnPxuQ6
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！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CINvosVkb
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa1HTdK5MO
「嘎——」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciAaLPZGGY
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTnQExb7O6
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！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHcVyujs6b
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSlVBo99Jm
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc86Fz1ZHIt
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqPCD0hWl
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkRyXh3yYm
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA8aCC5NXp
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQdrz5z80j
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNcue8Jwzf
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYZBYeGeBb
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvYuTokxwR
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcCCigzrc5
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZH23eQRuL
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJBsl5mohz
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj4shTkTTM
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ4ku5TjS4
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyqPyBLr4e
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。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PHoHD7jeU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENYT7nPzs
但唯有那一句不變。341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFnASOKg1S
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5iSqrsmda
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdEz4rTWr
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH0PMZsZsk
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
