「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzs5DyIAEa
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOKgeTePp6
「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？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxyqWXsa6
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ur1h5gKGs
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuEGQ4e5gu
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQbsgcqXbl
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFdCn00LQ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8naHUdARUG
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQy1acV9hi
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCwc8SezEd
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFiMm5ewV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprVfZGbfw
卻使我心頭一震！343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLtpN3aTW
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QsQjow5t8
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX019JVtaas
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLpdtQobRG
甚麼解鈴之人。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsXS8d7lwK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3QsVkWFVr
「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？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3BWlq6NHD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYFM8FnTb
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7eLJu73AP
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDMGgR6msP
「我無。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKkoZGoyD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmJp0KMog
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsO7auFIgH
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPgvCtyDJ8
「鈴兒……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFpUDWbIvB
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxBTMF3Qpd
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa7wrfFGpx
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0KQCeC3s
「你真係無事？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEasffm6bW
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZzEvZ6B10
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObbiCDWRq1
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu69gB24nyF
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnEZ6iFyW7
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7s99wDAmO
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4QSzJTX6e
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTvsXI2Hum
「明……明白。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtTpRycrN
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSbVpJf1DG
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！343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24iTCFPb6f
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrDOPzwixe
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42M85UsBjR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1e9VpUyQ
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92J0e1OY6
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbvxP61Oo2
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58MilOIuDe
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjy6R34qKZ
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUEkJjLwyV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lzmTgy0gi
「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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnGa1UAVIG
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBCDc2o0uL
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgG9sVp0hj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SIWld6Fxx
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYjq7ejAC3
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8NVGU0196
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFeDbNvm2J
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKITAQhwjbv
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAwWquRX2C
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhvvIHGMAM
「好。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cn8kR1NS
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdTWDUWsyp
沙漏中的沙被停下。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZopNdCloU
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yxAPBGyWG
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA01dtbrPA
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnCbz4vBvF
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmKWjwz6V2
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYvVUwsqU
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwLocP4AO7
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y05MVo7P0
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfL50rxDXI
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgOmbwvlDb
「呃……呃……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ622XiCB9oz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb7Kr89sq1
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBV0DgCC1
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5u20oxwJo
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGV2uY3l5
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyTOPRvJWq
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYtbqOO2Dj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1JIcLzzp
「……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJQpmVF5AN
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfWDaOPBzL
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWPFJB4oF
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1grJJvWWEl
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpGRFFMU3q
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ5UivsfPj
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsrQ7Wu9Gr
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTF80eNh91
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbXXDMaiEi
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iMIzDLR6I
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE1TqQxFSR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPdADapjON
假如鈴兒是錯的。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI6HBCgLyh
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwpQ7VaVj
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinj0yX1byo
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xYrW8mrlq
「……你咩意思？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFIK8SBjn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1HHjEOBq
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？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n8PKeAOBP
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P0sTCelcb
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMV0DZ7KQ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0HqC2buNv
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeB4sZBBmw
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcxoNMmNmo
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwcxk5MWyj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJgbCuOYa
「阡迴之門？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGGAOKnoEZ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDdQJweEsr
「跟我嚟。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEKfW6FMHh
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonAb6jnNaO
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKnvjf2c2B
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5HE191UUz
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP30ua79p2
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFy4GvNQOl
「叮…叮……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZHyQkdwem
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZYhxfDVT7
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSmcTnrt14
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrXDRw064L
「就會咁。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWDI8mSPcf
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRsuUV8MW
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9O8Zfr9MC
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3EfvNNjPG
「係阡迴旅館？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ1Bw9RKvz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIIfouzyZY
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZEE6xFXr
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaT6x5QchY
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohAjStVlW
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTxm9Q1nh9
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHqnXh6dn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViseIlNPEg
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZoTNvoHfX
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctLNE8Vvt
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2m7zIUqht
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwca3yu9Ry
沒有回去常世的未來。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77ONFTFBzG
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrqthZu7MP
「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！」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q6RSkYqnz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BOK8ExQ10
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpE4LWDafp
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL28envSgW
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEz67kJ3Up
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC1AUA8RPJ
可是，卻——343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOE9di91D
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RthekwTxv
「無。」鈴兒說。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LW6KSnSQu
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz3dlXD2O9
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39AiAvYgXf
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlBBKpEkbG
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLrCBE6H6C
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBs5u9AB7j
「真心咩……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0LgCO7Cr
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAibdQUSXYp
「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？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMpNzgOgaj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUDacXNVbz
我一時間答不出來。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjL0xExhun
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqiKKxVUdH
回家？當然了，我想回家。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSZQ2DqM4d
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EOuoFCeAx
但之後呢？343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuJ6jk8Iim
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6xUvRkpl
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？343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19zEY9EzwY
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PWZV6320y
我甚麼也不會成為的。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwTcN4oLK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYwLyiW3yV
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？343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QE5NPmGYn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcusr2ajtS
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRTOHtD06G
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeypX3YqAS
「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。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXPAIKI5CK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT0PJAPICB
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfZHhF5bku
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5TAnFZMKc
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiH5zvlfGj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBHmYq9ulk
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。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrfpPToPRa
