愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD02Yl468a
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p4OFeFFmj
但準確來說，是前攝影師。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTDBFzJ0GK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrFPyKL9ZE
「全職做攝影師而養得活自己嘅人唔多……好可惜，愛莉唔係其中之一。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJLBkm8dRQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYjrcT6R4
鈴兒帶我來到了天井下的接待處，從抽屜中拿出一張相片，上面都是鈴兒和大家在阡迴旅館中的日常照。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsoQ6iz9Ua
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFzNirstUI
雖然不是甚麼美輪美奐的服飾背景，但從構圖，光影，看得出愛莉精準地捕捉了大家的身姿。笑著的鈴兒，彼此碰杯的阿力與阿倫，伏在鈴兒胸前撒嬌的渺渺……愛莉的相片之中滲透著日常感，看畢後有種心中暖洋洋的感覺。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Srbanmx1
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlLeVbmLrz
「好靚係唔係？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhe0xsmydK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhK2KmqzFf
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCA5wQB9F
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoJqSnf5Qm
「愛莉嘅影相技術無異係真材實料，但係想喺香港做一個全職攝影師實在太難，唉。」鈴兒嘆一口氣道，「所以佢亦無辦法，只有向現實低頭，做返會計。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfi0XWUHKT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNisn8EFPM
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhoF4prIkB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYfu9SaHxq
「嗯，仲無晒私人時間添。」鈴兒說，「佢係某晚OT到凌晨，忍唔住話落街買咖啡，結果走咗去天星碼頭旁邊忍唔住對住個海喊。又唔想返上去寫字樓，又唔可以一走了之，因為要靠份工生活……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm4jlxpS5W
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcUbXVtZXc
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhB7tWMMw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Lx4c9OYx
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1UNCaQkVA
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BOrV6qHoi
「返去嘅理由…」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqu1FbY9bK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuGmDiBNC0
「之後係大廈入面蕩失路，搵唔到升降機大堂，行出大廈只見到阡迴旅館，愛莉就係咁樣嚟到呢度。」鈴兒說。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7e1D7DO6g
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJsSBaYIg
我搖頭道：「唔怪得佢唔想返去，係度佢可以盡情影相，又唔使擔心生計，我係佢都唔走。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPTv4psF6c
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5QOvFRurG
「當然，但問題就係呢度：留係阡迴旅館之中，無論留幾耐都好，佢永遠無可能成為真正嘅攝影師。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqYwSEnVyl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxron262N1
我心中一沉。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwzxZpmU9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT741kR2VI
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QOESCOkBZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO1NHfAOZi
這兒沒有時間流動，雖然我們不會老去不會疲累，但也意味著在阡迴旅館中沒有成為更好版本自己的可能。阡迴旅館內時間是停滯的，所以人生也會定格在這兒。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOc5oQKExy
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVY4BOcEvM
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMhmb6I0tW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cvQNDa6gs
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh53WFKeQhZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlObB8yQ5yx
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBYZOBOBLb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYYaqwcLEV
「唔緊要，係我同阿柏早咗到。反正我地呢度唔缺時間啦。」鈴兒馬上擺出開朗的樣子，果然在這笑容下是一顆體貼，溫柔的細膩內心。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E0gjpULZU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHItw0F3ay
「我始終想再睇多次。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDRCeM9qA
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT6jc1WZoc
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvEojwqbk7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTNeuVGdMh
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzuVql4Bdp
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCEYjKld6V
按鈴兒剛剛所說，她就是要使用名為「阡迴之門」的權能，通往時間和平行宇宙…？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAa2EBGrG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2I9FMWTq
甚麼跟甚麼。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZes1kx1Kv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z5NWCwmhk
「阡迴旅館係所有道路嘅交匯之處，即使係唔同時間線嘅平行宇宙都包括在內。身為職員嘅我，就係要負責為住客打開阡迴之門，令佢地搵到返去嘅動機同地方。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vsgT0yQ4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpImtw6UNM
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BuhIzwtY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknOa5DACEh
「例如——」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmmPi66PG3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL38CcM2PJ
隨她優雅的腰姿擺動往前走，鈴兒腳下的地板突然如泛起漣漪般輕晃，她別著的風鈴髮飾奏鳴出清脆的聲音。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgLiDVk4t
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQ8coTScu
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYYV9WiZt
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTdfyS6HB
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI07UbbgO6B
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdn4tuKFX
「嗯，行呢邊。」鈴兒張開眼回首微笑，然後信步往迴音最為深厚的角落走去。的確很明顯聽得到迴音從這邊傳來，原來風鈴是用來定位的方法。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61Ut060pi
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuZfjJvsdL
我們穿過天井下的大堂，迴音的殘響言猶在耳，天井化成巨大的共鳴箱，每隔幾步殘響都會再次掠過中庭，提醒我們前進的方向。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuOMOIGtgd
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ690GaEFZsF
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA2Fio6IaX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp5MUpYli1
「Hall 2B？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypz2eboY0A
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBezktsI3n8
這門的風格與阡迴旅館的室內設計格格不入，金屬邊框加上噴砂銅面相當歐式，門柄還是木雕花的長形原木，能看到木紋在凹凸浮雕上起伏。在門的正中央，以秀麗的英文寫上「Hall 2B」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMabpsoKdUs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQGurquPzY
「阡迴之門會複製出目的地嘅一扇門，之後穿過去就可以到達目的地。」鈴兒按著門把，「準備好？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79fWl4Tbwp
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWwuY3CHiC
我點點頭：「嗯。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsRDyOZ0c8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZRqLADvtZ
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqemF7a9Vr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqc60MyS2h
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xBIbC5hTX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aBpuYu4Ns
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaguJmdTx
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuet8moTVPz
「嘎——」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKHFczrJYu
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWpDIAjHgQ
鈴兒推開阡迴之門，我們三人魚貫地通過，門的後方竟然不是阡迴旅館的任何一個空間，而是一個宴會現場！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbkUllKTNB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRLZzNpoXp
「呢度……！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCaFwkJucy
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJWUQYAzkM
舞台前方大排筵席，人們都衣香鬢影，一桌又一桌的大圓桌旁坐著各國籍的各色人種，但他們都穿得相當體面，男的穿西裝燕尾服，女的穿晚裝裙子。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Es1I4ESo
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiVHinCKwQ
啊糟糕了雖然未搞清這是怎麼回事，但我穿著很舒服但絕不適合這兒的鬆身外套和運動褲……456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg7p8R53FI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzDb9OyFDv
「咦？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8wMUVaIX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8iSYiujGG
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGz3AZkZv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2uKFx7qMN
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuR6GiVuXN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nfDKJzuR5
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVZ85neWp5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvxO7CaDZx
鈴兒穿上了酒紅色的長尾晚裝裙，高根鞋上的黑絲襪與晚裝長手襪互相呼應，而愛莉就穿上了橙色的晚裝裙加上優雅的長披肩。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u999rQCuU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyhnF1RSkf
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGNw6OhvCG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5zcHlVmNl
我回首看看剛才穿過的門，剛好有一名侍者穿門而出，可以看到門後已經變回了酒店金碧輝煌的大堂，絕非古色古香的阡迴旅館。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpKumi3pgD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdKtgUynZb
「呢度係……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuUt9C3Ymm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUX01IZYon
環顧四周，我馬上看到舞台上的英文標題：世界新聞攝影基金會頒獎典禮，這倒算了，但最嚇人的是後面的年份。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRq72TXTpb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpE07Pk78J
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOTg2QjMu
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LvRkFQ8qA
鈴兒說：「年份無寫錯，呢度係未來，應該話係多如恆河沙數無數個未來之中嘅其中一個。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLbCbjNpfW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnpJvAIo4w
「世界新聞攝影比賽，係世界上其中一個最重要嘅攝影比賽，同美國嘅普立茲獎齊名。但係後者主要係美國人先可以參加，所以……呢度可以話係攝影記者嘅殿堂。」愛莉雙眼閃閃發亮。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C3CnENadc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq3WFDtFoP
「各位先生女士，請大家就座，好快我地今晚嘅典禮就會正式開始。」舞台上出現同樣穿著西裝的主持人，他以英文發言，附近的人聞言也紛紛和正在聊天聚首的人暫時別過，然後坐回自己的座位上。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0991B9qbE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QRHMsLBUT
就在那瞬間，我看到了。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPaGnPpcU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hLyb6VQ3s
主舞台前方的一張圓桌旁，一個女士與男伴坐下。那女士不是誰，正是我們身邊的愛莉！但是看年紀似乎年長些許，旁邊那個男人與她也表現親密，無名指上的婚戒……是他的丈夫！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDnDi7CmBf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjXarl5xwv
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2McHZYtPT6
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeQIbonoQV
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQndz5P10
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9A7XyjUdq
這種場合都是預先分配好座位的吧，我們身為從阡迴旅館而來的人怎麼辦？456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0aWbtvuyl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzDddey27t
「我地行呢邊。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHgzYLd3AK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1boCwKWgVw
鈴兒領著我們逆人潮而上，賓客回到舞台前的座位，我們離舞台而遠去，如同逆著時間流而上一樣。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5jxhR4AXe
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSWjWRLvdJ
就在我們再次穿門而過前。我卻看到那兒年長的愛莉正回首看著我們的方向！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowHX8aenrV
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXWWilCASS
「嘎——」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBPoCIgCa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQ456E0h1
穿過大門，我們卻沒有回到阡迴旅館，而是回到了同一個宴會廳！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzuMsnKvSN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KWNReL36g
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPvjLgwzNE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf5aigl4if
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtsw3vIpv5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDECg3fUy1
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmNOGMN1fs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwpH0sUfV
鈴兒繼續前進，剛好我們這邊的門旁邊有著另一扇門，我們馬上又鑽進去。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrVjvYfTW
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ459TpCuPGx
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9znjgTcKlb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0PD6IAlG
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWKiXf9ZgC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15sEyhEf11
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Sb2CHZ62
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6sZGCfiBD
每次穿過門，舞台旁邊的愛莉其打扮都會有些許不同，或是頭髮長了，或是晚裝變了款式，或是頸飾的長度不同，而她身邊的同伴也會男女老幼變個不停，其中一次最離譜是她肩膊上繼續坐著一隻鸚鵡。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5mVTwyUHM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQk8dq2Rjk
但唯有那一句不變。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFPvcIIUea
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlErRaMi5t
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHHY5hO9AM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhovOXxqbnV
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
