「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14aFqCCtGf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVD6bbJt8
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUtuQKSCQ5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvLyzqfkAK
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJzPTzoKkj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4NDpiDVGx
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnc1DjnuOZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZPg2MRET
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkLyAKQUPv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuur6RUJB53
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDIWbzXgWM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtBk5ng0Lf
卻使我心頭一震！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnekTsYfXk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQqeCn84KB
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C2713sfmD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4VHue5Eum
甚麼解鈴之人。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV5K8agiCW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMEorWwkRe
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OrId8pD3f
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSir15Bjodp
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiRUgMVlYG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ1vIepmnE
「我無。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXz98Albp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLScqJL5hG
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2lxLDya99
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whsonA9gm
「鈴兒……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWpSKwqpL
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPes5H5N91Y
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAwqGxX2T3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL3PlwAvSf
「你真係無事？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80c9OBpapM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pZLfSmEWk
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6cLaUAPJ4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJ6vuCeLh
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc52lM4nsm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3S5bINtU
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITvWQj7UHh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT39RD7o5vu
「明……明白。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZPSw7FlU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvl9ydOdEv
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！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqQqXZp0mq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwB628L2tJ
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVQEtKeL4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw94NU5H4ES
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt4LbCrJ7A
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2aKgYWvqP
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPaqug47C7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFziMX6IJGS
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuvMXDv3HA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDWvK4KuE
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvPvPiQtdj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5yH7Olo1m
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuOs06shl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1assMtX4
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8E0DA5UJA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVU0JNPFm
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwDXzRP6U
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1W0pv4Ed
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnqAvcdbI
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EmvjRJnS
「好。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuod1daZOkp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkpqPho0Fa
沙漏中的沙被停下。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC2pIMEG93
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz13ttVclmo
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQI6f1CVr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqIg3ipjbU
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP309FR3ZA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwoxd5Z04t
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQLoaBWiO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvApTrb3KWQ
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5Q1Nyu2c
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TH4IXv1wr
「呃……呃……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eNfwFBXUY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqCysYhC0R
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcV5FkT6Ut
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqtSZuSrMm
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HS8f0kfMK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh5TDCeTvT
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvLi9sKlFg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06eLbb96TC
「……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwh3pA40sO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4lM8ARuml
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6OyiXn6uW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPTvQz29p
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbl7hhDDn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAVYNduJRd
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgfLwlGPWn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytsGCJSYwv
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MGziOeSCV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpksVfbjod
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj7uBLDpU2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmQKt4LAg6
假如鈴兒是錯的。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgHz7oT1a
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4yept6gOA
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FYXgxt8pt
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibthUJt5OG
「……你咩意思？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivFEFTtJQD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWcWptQS0
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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdwAldK21T
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGej7TIJa7
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35dSxvEdtM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTxvSirnC
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXF35LRPfq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6BZBa3qJL
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXDKlW9E8k
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ojgEETF6
「阡迴之門？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxQ3M2TeQr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QVzGas4Y3
「跟我嚟。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt82FRrwwbR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvvrcEQKDO
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63UJ0C4sEJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfEYYGUv1
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxHk7vJdVV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mg7xUDxP4
「叮…叮……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyRHwXojhg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbRKBY3k6
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr7ipsqjWQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphHe195doE
「就會咁。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVM2Jytc6Q
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXt4HlT1Tt
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsBHiiR6L
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcLDghP8HZ
「係阡迴旅館？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTC6BekmvJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAj0iGJlC
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe5wce7hOy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9W3KsbKFB
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbZUwzkhnO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaI7uC4aQJ
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AU2FcjwEK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99zlSCeVGa
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKFrrgSEDy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhZkMAZmr
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCEcgvrS9B
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpTV9L5aM
沒有回去常世的未來。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIbUY7H5c1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpqEioSML6
「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！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvsP09XkIl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpIX2vIIjI
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWWwg86L3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcpb0sSfFA
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTPpaWCwZD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUXs8o1FLw
可是，卻——346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8PMiNeudD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bc4qBR6rK
「無。」鈴兒說。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGrm1l5ZCX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJLnxlK0C6
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgXEmug0A
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfJHgQ1LFW
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLLlqha2Wc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBg0Kggx3j
「真心咩……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKMuRMfLj8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOUQxgxTFr
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaAwEJnJM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYIR15vL9c
我一時間答不出來。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3pxUjxML
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxY6wuzRrs
回家？當然了，我想回家。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPkWotvbeP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qM2FnVV1
但之後呢？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVKtJcSpCR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD3M92bMoc
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXrnQMx09
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsloADKeRzg
我甚麼也不會成為的。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTfWP7VgYi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHq3Inv9QI
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？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgx8uqEAnt
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLJ7oQyNtc
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyRnNC9oqP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7eDY2MCqX
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsiYofOIIb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkb3V77Qie
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv33DV2aUwj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZvfJbylmz
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk29iZDtZj5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpao07L8g2
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZtY90gXYi
