愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLygYN7mwJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrOX8uZZnh
但準確來說，是前攝影師。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUvUnFCgLM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQIsBWEwiW
「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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlqbEJvQU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKrxkviHKg
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvgsFNncpL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdS5xvqB6V
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAg34g2ETn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOyRSvCK1
「好靚係唔係？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlYP4n88Cx
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbliwfslVC6
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJkVe0DW09
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MauO1hipR
「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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXngRA1tfv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9aVbUKysu
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduFqYHShvu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjd5yyIz1
「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……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVXEYi7pZJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDESpMCNiX
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHXyPcS1zm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6bhazKzb
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKqvWYq5Sj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNCUTig0J9
「返去嘅理由…」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuq1zUGLOM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUekwC08xm
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gIiynr6rG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOet9fGMA2i
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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfiPB6azPH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLuVNMuknh
「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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDROpuAq2r
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN7UP62rN9
我心中一沉。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOV10Mji4R
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvvz42VqT3
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0aYD7Ua5B
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uhCCf2qE
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORDKsNs7w0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9FukHpBKV
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27LLyAY0Bf
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu6S82JnJw
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22mUg3DOJR
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgaNDxK2N
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4wDhKALC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpyHchOytr
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nIrMoJg8n
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZouyd5N2b
「我始終想再睇多次。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSehSvtApXP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVcwiGsSlu
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcHQ4ACHz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJj0TXwX2f
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8fowHUPHs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4LFGWc2Vb
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…？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgIbCGNB1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62ZUTt777
甚麼跟甚麼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAD70Hm4CT
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJNlhZ6fC
「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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU3Z4CkIiW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKviTt8UR9
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnumMAWQtEo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRgUL3It7
「例如——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHV2An9Wcj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEry2XLiV
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgBkrq6EoD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85hyRlZxTl
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnlMtuLnIa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaMjOooHwc
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC7emWQ3Qs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSiD3IdLE
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iuffBCAu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvCiqlWGT3
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARO6acAUWK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnFT9GsGK
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WPYboKAHG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WELSmYsAA
「Hall 2B？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY74z52ug1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOUm4kzsxF
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」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0MHUtg2WV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4hS6L3CRn
「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？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl02XAMwr1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDnypKSnn
我點點頭：「嗯。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfCBorjNqJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHXeNox4qy
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnDfoNO4Ou
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54b63EnIMc
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGohayNSVZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ekHx0ZoL
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2wWyezVg2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoFgvupTx9
「嘎——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTHE4q9xAS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LIzl7I9pi
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoHGn6PguO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsAJyvPbTl
「呢度……！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OOw2Po8w1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMuyqBJn3W
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfUTeqvbkp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIzjeZRK6H
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpvjUtrlRQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Il9USTax
「咦？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa3GAs3pIG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PRsAnV9YB
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKKNv3OikG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3xmUHTpTq
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrEeKcEGFy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zOzKAX8W0
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMew8DcrJv
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFoFK878mw
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuet2cH2UJk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzANNfJJeOx
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlx8Zn4eGr
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCROVCY4AFF
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawhjTEC1ea
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmaV4Y7gEW
「呢度係……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIqu5VPFzq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc3q2r4oWT
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEuxpkdw3p
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLKzdJiSNS
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlpg84SWW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BHbUzb63Q
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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqragyNqf2S
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xBkgQddK
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNx1Ujuwdp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4evHhXw9e8
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8cYofhmuu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeOp9YR7rU
就在那瞬間，我看到了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE8AUUcTr6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtsX88eJYS
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5OrweaHB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK3Q94VCLj
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujny2jXDq0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRtHJdTtH
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLJSMweUo1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1pLT1s8OQ
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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisyXwBKozg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeAydEZ4Rk
「我地行呢邊。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoKJl7s1l5
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ykqM0LhE0
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfB9QxsFSO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjioYTMeiS1
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvpgbGXOHQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCihMy07B9I
「嘎——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMQrZllCaA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnhlwiWR5X
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv0iPQ1zYx
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtY4HokRQD
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0k3Ps69C
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI770ZLxFSq
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmKKS4NMkd
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3fotYNBYJ
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9H9eYgyvo
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvCM9uxzTH
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Ky59y5qJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgOqmB9eqe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzNiddqAFz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENxiBGcg4W
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d1TtCl12w
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnPYdmj4un
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNGJjwcG2J
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNJPym1qi
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ywDJUP38G
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwUbATlgvJ
但唯有那一句不變。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYw7Y5jv0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWTGh3N59V
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ABEER47KB
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk2vKQKLFw
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
