愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigHoXTgp9F
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxST52cms71
但準確來說，是前攝影師。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiig9IuQKAI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosOVQqu99h
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH0nro4oYm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzdftaSW5L
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j7EYZt1W8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDOs0YlCM6
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJx3hxy8Wa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADainwQAV
「好靚係唔係？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tih3E7Cje
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsnaxyvCR
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg6jZhvBOj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjz1MKbCFH
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYJYRebds
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PqbPnHpJo
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTSZgjGBuz
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRaq2XaeVg
「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……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYu9TmUB7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ934Lo5hQIV
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKYj22byp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmeVWe9ygc
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTeS5vKQH1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLObNc8NnGZ
「返去嘅理由…」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvpqbtehu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5ngSkoi7
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHv1LybUn2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnljB0R7uct
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHShabtDCJU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EflXUVKcE
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz893qHos4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxV5cO59Lr
我心中一沉。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9z3dw8z6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxgy3hCM0U
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNfcsKZrW3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G516UcL9M
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE1iZ4H6at
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHOxIhF5p
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZS3qll2wR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpql8kIxTD
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZD1ShIEJ1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM6vcrXtoP
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDOouYyTcq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR10CDz6wSu
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLxiOubPf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1OB2ORKQr
「我始終想再睇多次。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLANOiciV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUicYmhtrQU
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpOkTti2tY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWN1XRT67T
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal0uBn3jyQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2RAfo7ur
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…？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ltcEK5KVg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINfDZbc0NK
甚麼跟甚麼。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79s0KxS4SB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrVBKVOPSZ
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Crv57Xx1T
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZStQwPXBav
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldG8fm69tV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhEsfpuePZ
「例如——」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpH8W8pV9F
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5RTTpcri3
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NiR8aJcb
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJXjzBGhlv
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2WVINGtVp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UNPbrUJqt
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCMrJQCzDS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJsNCtS7u
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GWDFzPC1E
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkbh6mOmGo
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEWgAIJHw0
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMW9YeJ92j
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEIGbz8jA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAmki6wDOW
「Hall 2B？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaw4DaCcqg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIUmQ74s9P
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」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXe6Y77ly
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsoVqYDlUz
「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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtgFqggeim
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhBqzHJDw7
我點點頭：「嗯。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfOLwkpCrX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKv1rGM6c
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXFEDW3yXh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWyuBg9ySr
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVMutTA1Zs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ZwRrjE7M
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA91XLAsuij
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbhUWl6Ip7
「嘎——」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQO2pBy6VJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxl9jHrWwI
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！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunVo8bjM4i
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfqCsf5Cov
「呢度……！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT9j7NyrXF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ769iZk8RVF
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTxzNgxzYt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeDAb7BmgN
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……378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB1sZ3zj4H
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVioJkgh3
「咦？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRRXVL2rOM
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jnXGscbIc
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSAN0F4lxO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcOKg9gCvn
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcpFfBLLNn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjaX1pJjai
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUmLC6vMjY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlHPAzdb0j
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GmDWRZAH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtULSp5uylK
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5jlKo83c
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyAJ8JFis
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatXt7w4o1v
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LEixhM19u
「呢度係……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyd19UZcMe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIDDqO4PK4
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27MolfdssO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJatZjAagUJ
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkwThyyNNc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PI6xIgRXX
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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5g3rbQm7m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v6HbKoG1l
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsbtgOdi1V
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8NTyVDfhm
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1oyAMGlAc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymOY6tvvuJ
就在那瞬間，我看到了。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8e5Qzevgd
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9oYeEoLEw
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！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7AUnue0xN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIt7m3aPs
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFgnbP9STQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPslkeshGm
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHFhrJhp7M
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo7KWO5pIm
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？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aaifgqngj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPVMZ16Fjw
「我地行呢邊。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtfeAhaLT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8KYrsOtb
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbm60VZ95u
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmWngxjVn
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！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmcWIRqZG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6SLWCzlZ
「嘎——」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8ocNpMzO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviPS5eUIU0
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！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLenDdIHNKI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8b4A2r88
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaWEFv5Zb
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1FVJdRSfR
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA93XeR6jv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJrDhYhIb
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzqH5i9M62
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRL49HaqNt
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsPT5b3hf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf5GAmdurS
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLtN7vnHG2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNAYsVRtRW
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VqetoocrU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vmBDMKwk4
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljniv2OANO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzsVKz8y69
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGcWRYJ6DV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiwPUCVauN
但唯有那一句不變。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5IWI3dx0s
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR1oWlvE6y
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28uALa3ufR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCHhBS1Oz
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
