愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64HLXT5Wwp
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVSzorIn1n
但準確來說，是前攝影師。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJRn6SMfI
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sorFSdQWc
「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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroLzt4TAe
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFckgLMOLEv
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6Jz7zQUw
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwYk7kyD1
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGYlvcqpBv
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygqGIKmmEE
「好靚係唔係？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEClOSDbDw
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqr7TAv4vI
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQA1TPeiBj
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLHaFpEC9
「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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80dkeszAW8
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90U21uRKKi
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFJdffgBbU
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblsr3SkHjh
「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……」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWldcFy0KH7
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9SUfbcxpf
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yd5NlreYU
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0pA54fw8N
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVseR8qWo2
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhUog0Fg27
「返去嘅理由…」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRcxFs5OMh
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvry69Xvtjv
「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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYL6lO1e5G
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDLZMa4mI
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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64fZg4NxBO
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZwRFC1mS6
「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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3heEHzxv2
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswX0iYFZGd
我心中一沉。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFftQ7S5g
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP5BFvtdye
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMugdisrknB
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMWa8zCl5F
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOCHh0amTS
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qr03RwTe
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9ukzYIG23
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IncvtAjKA
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfcR9vlDct
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nlru9IfSi
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8luZ3qUQD
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CKdVSy1NP
「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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxMwppBivm
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSxkNb7mJ
「我始終想再睇多次。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBOxZHUrde
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3myy5v7jmU
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ey11xbI73
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNkO49tOl6
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy768LXnOXz
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QbAjZYsTq
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…？495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zT0O4tNk
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUGTvxmetR
甚麼跟甚麼。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkC7UUHawr
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzNqlWjXDN
「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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdM8OQ5aQs
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYENjoWpo9
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVUtSVwyDo
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadXycyZ9fg
「例如——」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0iXGRh9Kz
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bcdqQuAm
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5af6F19vHm
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxbcxf2WTQ
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7X1Wq00ze
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuavoJc978J
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKqHDgrC0w
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGe9DCc0m2
「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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4dE3N1nAo
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPzbNsSnDl
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMlutPadxq
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxpZsmXUHF
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHvSeF7udT
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQi90eBo0Y
「Hall 2B？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7iWpW8D2A
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlsUB6RAP9
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」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOiCNLM1Oe
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYxLvUj5u8
「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？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt2YQc4KSc
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKDB5ZIDjm
我點點頭：「嗯。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjxY7ShCAZ
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9AKDwnybh
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKHhXlaKV7
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC2qJTSD0o
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G6ATXPt3O
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBetDy8wD3r
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKareT085
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHKqbDP7gj
「嘎——」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDgxV4Wc5Y
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4XRIhIRAA
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！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEq9lwEiKp
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFZFu3dL1t
「呢度……！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZuejkdF8j
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyQ8yB0nO5
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJiB6Q3jd
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJ1QvGLsH
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……495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQoqqvLR2p
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9xQLjQ0hr
「咦？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H75udEaRs
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL50rMBqFRD
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCF7yRgmSm
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBuTRMdOTV
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oQ9zJCqaE
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4mNUpFJC2
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi1iAXx0m8
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSzWP28gv
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqLzN1qGzl
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtlanhdnMo
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUxniiTgW3
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u1UDWg6A4
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZqCNJFDu
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW23VpMJkg
「呢度係……」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gEoLiGJHm
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUCbD0vcqk
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPEMuTViRf
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWuxu7npyE
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wCE7ordrK
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gqd2w5uHf
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。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSp25j2zuW
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8c5BNsIQo
「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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLI8dIUsus
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEHRt53zKC
「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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTFZBTUCTz
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7JSsBx8RJ
就在那瞬間，我看到了。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzoHOgPmJW
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiBwnKibfj
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！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaX5gB33lm
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTsqH1OML
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ofbPy3WX
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqt4XSRNbb
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9noMmVvR
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCinf6NWUh
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？495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LkUXg5Xep
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQU5MJUuOQ
「我地行呢邊。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8DmLFdnKA
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSGwWkUR0
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxM1cVHB2Q
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKgloSAGD
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！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JuGDKzv22
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7SU4hXsJs
「嘎——」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9bUkeBZ89
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XC3O7Ca98
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！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ0LzsBl3G
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosts5DCKyi
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlMUEQccip
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrhsLKpX0A
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5rT5d1lj
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd26ZefxrIA
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S6tbzBQ2s
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ83OxbrRF
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8j15lmSqH
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljLaMJLbi9
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVdQUCQiO
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNKuyxGqxA
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCZqPKRbrP
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jJj7vDMOz
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m86rTn4AU
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxs1iY6FE
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。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0JYjuLZsf
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIENQwrQrA
但唯有那一句不變。495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLUXvunsR
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbkeYUMWz
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGMdQFisrZ
495Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKtrfuBXAd
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
