「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bykwcc7rS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqnaZx3tm6
「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？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiOrPy5S7c
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zkb75mh1d
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9xMRPwedx
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv3nXgfpLr
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZWwjg6xfF
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZXkiVK2ks
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RAInpZPlf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5koByNQVKr
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyRJGUkjv
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCfoRzCBro
卻使我心頭一震！402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1jlqW79aD
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2xhFBKMD
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7X19ly50z
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXst4HxtJu
甚麼解鈴之人。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70QZEgT13t
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf1VJIn56o
「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？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdFWKBdBsT
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqG0yXLLCo
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNUcuWq1Na
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRWGm3m7h
「我無。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWvoeoOWGt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx6CQQB3Tx
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykM9ZZgSP5
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiluNnlmx7v
「鈴兒……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudEPuBefyG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOwkrxhWVq
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcuIcxsyCR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSezgO2URt2
「你真係無事？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HMyZvhj6V
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVwlw8ETg
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cAn6syjU4
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLccrIe7SF
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kzZR7Al9t
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMefHurSl6
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1jj8QQT6F
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhTaIyQug4
「明……明白。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPXWhjTs4f
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgy6M8fjF
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！402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTDLJp8r2X
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToEIbuC7tZ
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfbXEhGkDZ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMIXCt17qB
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ANkc5BDL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbrTR1wLqT
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjd6s2C7fI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMDRZUUGdW
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNszWUOE0o
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQyA2WwOsD
「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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzo5GoBNcf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwert49Kwc
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZaXxQ2e6D
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypaPKwLDP4
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6obE6tQmp
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0qHRaog2
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd0WBfoixG
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9NqZRtjv8
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnsFvA8zkB
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjoRDAYaaf
「好。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3sNWY2Zq8
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTww6m9R60
沙漏中的沙被停下。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x3Am7F5gQ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8FPmtbWm5
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2xUJ7n8Aj
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBscwp5AL
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLaB5YpBgF
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTqtfVk23B
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCjw4FYF0S
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YOD9dnPOT
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yif2uTdvk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDqatTDBdT
「呃……呃……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG14CADjF2
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9HDvBKLb
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oVBPHEnZU
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U2xsYYDZa
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETe6CWfIL
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LbbtEbc3U
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINs0jww7U
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3veBkyBfa
「……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAldRlmMWS
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMEJFm2jj2
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GQECqIu12
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPapfPWSY
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLrqdP22i
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBE4vj7qFE
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzn1W527jc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5KqaWrFeo
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXglf9mYH
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyLerG9WC
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LBj8qIcxe
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo0QxbFa9B
假如鈴兒是錯的。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYT8x4ziUf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rjAj8thTD
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gjitUZ3yR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BAwumOFrc
「……你咩意思？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5qAQ7mD0v
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpuagNhl3
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？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJG2v5jAPP
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffikfzJlQ
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZinTu2ns8
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMbjKtY0xk
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Y3kEq4s0
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvf6R9oaDz
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSJrGCiJYi
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrIqFm6Is4
「阡迴之門？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1wL4HuWVc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFjPX9052X
「跟我嚟。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBETOYh0XOq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgOEhRaE5U
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipBUlcQos3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5quDpEpzLw
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtVpOQcSgh
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4YccEAvV
「叮…叮……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOPKFBjdJ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO15h3h68c
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw7jRHv8jM
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JcEONp8zJ
「就會咁。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd70t9xv3t
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbgK5ppaxj
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffOOGTsTwt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1U7HXW7ut
「係阡迴旅館？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGknYk1AOV
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahDcIjGh9p
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OumfkmQxs
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaQN9UOIrA
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HVv3fa74
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25mhmmnXA
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBmPnwDuf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBkkFEzVHn
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiwTh4JolR
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sMm9cnNsG
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCnVp2724e
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mfBYsrUxN
沒有回去常世的未來。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarE8JZZwaK
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5lmiOeje2
「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！」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tjFv38nCk
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9gVuCL8Gk
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjq91r4AbN
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSHSwzT767
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpkJ0g002S
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpeEe7mGO
可是，卻——402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMex7gkuJOI
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASyOTayC6H
「無。」鈴兒說。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FbvEwDkoj
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA2z2BmUJ1
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK3NIWmMWc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLumdWHBW4
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpPj23msCt
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXJmrxBt6U
「真心咩……」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymJzi6wtzW
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VfZK4YlZM
「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？」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ulgCXEMd
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsL3NrKVgY
我一時間答不出來。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QWTt1SUXq
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39I0ZfmpgY
回家？當然了，我想回家。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn0bBq0q0m
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSjJCzu9Fm
但之後呢？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJPVyVVMP
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhLV9SeAa
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf50LFwUiQ
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rUoYZGZWo
我甚麼也不會成為的。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXBSRgrv3n
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bm4ovfza
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？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ426muoGuVc
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbR69UtjPB
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAi8Z8c7tf
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGx6iK09G
「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。」402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirMwzK0UO7
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAr3WsDedP
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXyanMY16L
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGkbcJYZO
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSbeGkxm3
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU2JbKPOCm
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。402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunS1mSJPea
