「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwfLAi4jY3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VHUHOEbaJ
「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？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdenFxoZmd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLxC07Wfu0
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1yzaiijvz
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAC2TLUmJp
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3pstYg6kD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZBGgapbDw
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPjU8e5Vf4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKs3oGXZ9
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3V3gSxNPm
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVpSnIE0DX
卻使我心頭一震！342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMiP3we6mQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21r7PvPNVZ
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsLIGxWSN9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CRyPoVVm1
甚麼解鈴之人。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyemMrYG8i1
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe407b9WeA
「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？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn5pDh5fg0
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlGfou0Qq1
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6lfwmEd67
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph4i8TySZQ
「我無。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnpMjH7tdy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6jOaqkao
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjZKk4GAtL
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc33U5nJtg2
「鈴兒……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46IAsm3KdK
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gEodo9AJL
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHHeea4S9D
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxEj19MR19
「你真係無事？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlBBETGW9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUX4BsHbV
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuxjCkzII2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6J82tMtf
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpooDD8Hv2f
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenogCVQLUp
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapmN8eCkP
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4xxVpN4mT
「明……明白。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nz9B0b1JS
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIBC4omMk
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！342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Yacw23Qp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW1u9UfgQ1
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaLLmNu67N
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoECdHXs4K
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YDC2DGtBO
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rTDmU65EF
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW38QIIe6GZ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ0OYlWvaU
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ExgCwrI3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERzRvkQnVm
「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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f6HETPLVc
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWOyNOwcrm
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDVxxSscOm
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdiHH0bxnL
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41UH1GPSd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOPSOguqlI
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVvxJ8MDC9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt53i5RsGpP
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRgocxhBnm
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ZT8ZNuN1
「好。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRviGL68B
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwWmap9fA
沙漏中的沙被停下。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BTpZkBzTG
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3qmLAp5sd
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAfFHp2Pw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7YN7LMh6
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw07BDGZzOu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJxISsdQ1C
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIke8TyJ1F
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubPec7iwkc
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5CmLq3Sv
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fKOAKVsWd
「呃……呃……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzw5K2dlx
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwk0F21KLW
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtgSGXVsr2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33vCbBRBAx
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hLROs5ac
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8c7zc85Nm
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfBDsr5DPT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cznAvekUk
「……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILvj0WE3y
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA28YLiK8U8
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwNpEyphoR
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL0ivxmcDK
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjSWvr92eb
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvDJABmBH
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUxFf128YQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsbEjNryi9
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIagQdFHcy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtkEYuXq5z
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4yJhd82a5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGR3Qo0YHw
假如鈴兒是錯的。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n3zvUBSdc
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLENk0oBM8
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqb9atht5a
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQu7erqfKS
「……你咩意思？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw64GICH9G
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgqcqrA6HM
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？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hLs1plMg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC21fSiN8w
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7Z747Ab5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRMmHanzjB
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8WnQZFREE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qpN8mTc2e
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzV7KtWPL
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWqhrsMPmA
「阡迴之門？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaepEwHso3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJx4ncNWX
「跟我嚟。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh51FPv8x1H
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU65fFDsEvF
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNnbCSFcf7
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEoVxGhGmT
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzoSDAkGp7
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpM12tD16p
「叮…叮……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaD2S7M2E3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUHH1NrPDa
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbItpnjZwk2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOvd5DPWVm
「就會咁。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡechtXppsXN
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONEANYNcf
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LGcZRSk1P
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYeWZtayT
「係阡迴旅館？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fc3akSTF
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWorpXxyQk6
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKiSCN0Wr7
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1EGTyg264
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgcRYYbNp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEey9ouKTCK
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhta9yqOVo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyhvKZezaN
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFUyBLYGC3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbFKzZ7sj9
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbZPqRzrW
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy35h2eyXeC
沒有回去常世的未來。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5XwhXVnkJ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46YfRq8oF
「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！」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kgERN3Swh
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKC5gvd8yI
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5jHqtQRJk
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTRLJuRWvE
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2kFkl5bzd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVdR3yDThR
可是，卻——342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3vOR52Fip
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTJ6udWALm
「無。」鈴兒說。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHW3Ap8r7R
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5aW7XZ1Ea
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKIt6RZIRT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9DPCP5ly9
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I97WByE1l
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdxXrHjscl
「真心咩……」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUfQ3kO0o9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9iDtwRq98
「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？」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoLyilXPs5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHV1yaxjAn
我一時間答不出來。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQ4rUMmOi
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaP0Rgweoc
回家？當然了，我想回家。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxDKmCYt8
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj8g0Tq01S
但之後呢？342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlNpqNL7aG
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8UDciR0oR
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？342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGccaw5by
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6kcRHtrAA
我甚麼也不會成為的。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDdUIXwKk1
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8Hk1AbCr
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？342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2BeXYw0et
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF44Qkx8sRG
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvYGZUk2f9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJeXxo7fwj
「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。」342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjooz3Aftg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyPmNWWc3m
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5opAyTZpQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQciZZz5Fk
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKngJnCQlX
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKlOz1tgD
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。342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqRhSnN0st
