「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQ25oD3Ay
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaej4aYskn
「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？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h84thKSCN
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgd8Al9ws1
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ9eeU08gn
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOADrEnhZh
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyH00WDsk
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiPcK9AFdb
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4fSwzG1ol
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa8q2Yn8nw
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPfdyw0Sik
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGAhJ1hCEa
卻使我心頭一震！306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP30fAIimv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TVwgmbSSk
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZh7wF3NdH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2skOwl3Ha4
甚麼解鈴之人。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHo25OT7oa
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhksEPPKSU
「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？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqZSsd5Ypr
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS2DIuEpec
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3yeouQ8T2
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWtKXJ7yGf
「我無。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrdVi0lSxR
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7jdy0u573
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcqsJoiw3R
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3QKp7I8d
「鈴兒……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuE82vUK12
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7o4r7Xt7H
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICuUNbF2CJ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwXnkGJ5V4
「你真係無事？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeCJz18rp8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrb8h0sNZC
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Yd45HtBQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN95q8XrfJ
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioPdrbNmwj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27F2aNpR50
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLtk4KNkrM
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5njoI3CFP
「明……明白。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8U5iP8fcC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iZbRsGES
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！306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJgnpWYOeB
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXINx2X1Chw
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE1DHIaFsR
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMUrRgy8A7
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9esoqUF5eE
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmmIROUhrv
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32KDdjKpoj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZf5nPDAbT
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sLwuI5RvW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslqx5Sgad
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfWmj7hRIF
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rft6aABMI
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoE1Cj8d7F
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBxrULgclg
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YevHXBFj6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBev86MB7F
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDKTBVSeAU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJhuw512zI
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4bKaTqRRv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7DCVGkyeH
「好。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8E4Z10Njj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jxBMorK9
沙漏中的沙被停下。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs7SdEZT6P
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3AKmBB6i
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKeU5LoZ3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzcF5mtF8f
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTiLhr9xvu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoaUmVpyZ9
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjIAkCislX
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KuHZf1Cgv
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5zn0UgLyU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx0et2Ej6A
「呃……呃……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q2aAwpJNh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr0vnmlAIW
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywnc51HBv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ0EHvtcER
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgPwvVFs2C
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5R5qNL1QO
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS5SCiUYzP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpPCAMCfM
「……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBFEMdJsCQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdliPQMg1r
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgONnQEUtR6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKChOnO7W0
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhsBp7w1Lo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaycTrkQD6
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXteCowJvfn
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLcpjaVo3e
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTiKNFNuua
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcXOE9OWIS
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGG10AEyLx
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9o4vc94Ds
假如鈴兒是錯的。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlC5ypTBkt
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzoaWz22kT
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5IWWX2p7B
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTPNV1hRvK
「……你咩意思？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4dWM7JBe
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ebRRH5zO
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？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLJO4oHVx0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U7jnevxiS
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0BWsg11Bh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8m81vSGbE
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k6xxZRJBy
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AB5zck3p
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTAIOY842
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk34IIhIdV
「阡迴之門？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGLWmdL3mJ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahiQwbiU0I
「跟我嚟。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIiLtSqBho
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvP27aSgj
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhgDa8MaC3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ltp4qRKz
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjJWqmtr7
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0zZXJ6rK
「叮…叮……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbORdSnmZnE
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRHC6y4QDN
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsADJCMUZc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqNpsdpa5L
「就會咁。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgxaHwU3bo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHmKoATzos
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMpX6hAKwG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ev7tRGVn
「係阡迴旅館？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4XfN2LKNh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrBrMlD27m
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIiAwhzNWp
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wt3crxJGv
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5LwFxAVSn
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6UQntbmlo
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0d17biNe1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR5L03uutB
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMfqhRJMdq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEDt9J6oM
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOozTLTcep
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b3u8ZO011
沒有回去常世的未來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMElYTviQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK2ROyg2TK
「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！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPRxu7oae
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemoQsKb2T
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLaOaGp1ua
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER7gqN2rS0
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhHq65rp92
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzidGIEWiAD
可是，卻——306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv43IcTjQSW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyBPpbyLe
「無。」鈴兒說。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO07tD5g3g
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKglTMdF8Bq
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHCeU6JW1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d0E3kjB6o
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAFPHtDcEk
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFOCG0FhYL
「真心咩……」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGYtdZOTSH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1fbr6XpD
「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？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOikkAYeAe
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxfSZzlZUU
我一時間答不出來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpLp2nSuYS
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicB6YxC9Bo
回家？當然了，我想回家。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVOq7Iat6L
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3FXAoSXhe
但之後呢？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvTE76As63
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUBrFekBl
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQh9SMSfG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWE41lVGlT
我甚麼也不會成為的。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzFXTGI0dC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYlKprBl1H
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？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGxxNpja0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrukbtWRlz7
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ph1wTu68
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvD1HFzmXc
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJJzr2hHz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh762nT2Ij1
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UVGw4ZhFk
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuqFp56669
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxq4oKOkz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Zr0AMCxA
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTnv0urvJm
