把手吹乾後我推門而出，才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂，耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLJNFzZBSq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdW0B77Tie
「啲人呢……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJyacuHO3W
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltA5FneP76
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳，那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物，它們還是暖的，牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著，紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上，一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo4mzcK4Ye
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuguG0KcSxI
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出：「喂！！有無人啊！！有無人係度啊！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqAlJcrS5c
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio4mq7MEIm
「……係……度……啊……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWO51GrAf8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Rd6lwRUM
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥，逢門就開，見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框，門後卻沒有阡迴旅館！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48KRkPxmi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHNdSHIc5P
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimsZmg2Nj6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdpiGPEN8d
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間，阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能，我們並非真正到達了未來，所以在「展示」結束後，這空間也開始消滅了嗎？！等等我還在這兒啊！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeceu1rHB4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQJW8yWfQ
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外，外頭只是一片漆黑，連地面也不存在！整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中，我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2g23JM0fb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdDMUiziDZ
現在怎麼辦，現在怎麼辦，我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisfzRVgz7u
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCan9tCR65
「喵～」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7cPo2slSn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21uNXxm054
「渺…渺渺？！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYtMhNIbm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZXq0awauY
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciKY15TzPd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOzeWSw1J9
「叮鈴…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tCBaOFbI3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8HhU42pD
風鈴聲！真的是渺渺？還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了？！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N756SSJja
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kEYiYmQ1K
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3VM720mf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreYK8HRKLc
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPP3YtSBJb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOZEUVlDw
走廊盡頭有人！！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMt7RIySrb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgizn448LJU
「……小姐！等陣！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKSgcil5A
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymYUsUsZS4
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞，繼續向走廊深處步去，不行，這兒就只有那個女生在了，不能放她走！！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JEpKhEa0C
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFWCZXuVp
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7UMYwUsFl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKNnJFps2M
更可怕的事發生了，隨著我追向那女生，我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出！牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中，視野中的景深突然變長，走廊深似無盡，身後的昏暗正洶湧而至！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqbK3eRwbE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyneJGawph4
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjUhXFNE0Z
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn57reLQ7P
等等，那人是！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡansC0kzR9v
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5CjAyjfml
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3TEtrveVi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXQh22lMuf
追……追不上！我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延，她就在視野之中，但我卻永遠追不上她！！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNmXi9JgZq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhxzdJilV0
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OP2ZA6tNZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ndcOVmdc
「砰！！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYsUl35DW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTTmbEsIip
「哎呀！嗚…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6x6LlxEL0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHRUppS6bP
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板，狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門：「鈴兒！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaKTgXmqkx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ6IooCvoI
「……我識得你？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0xbtjUG3M
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90rJafP7m6
咦？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLUogKF3hO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSz8iO0L3Y
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdgtEafjCD
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6fShkG9At
氣喘如牛的我站直身，發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中，米白色的牆壁，灰色膠地板，還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MbqRGKwqC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bxFxkcgfQ
一看便知這是醫院。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U5CzRqZox
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTZxHis9x4
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZvbFkaQD
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF234suPrjO
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUIrqZPGPj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eUvpcNKh5
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CGgXQNvcf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3lbzowNGR
「但係……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPpI10HyJ4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8TLifajv0
她眼中沒有一絲光彩，沒有一絲生氣，只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵，甚至不知她是死是活。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk6uwOs6q2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1MmWZvYo
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛，如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyn9lkiTah
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6a430Qaw
「我返去做野先。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixkvYhyEao
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco0NxkEsqv
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視，那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄，但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWI5BwxSi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ynEUEGZW
看著遠去的她，我完全摸不著頭腦，她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了？447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Zoi6gto8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznGguvWVZR
但馬上我就看出端倪了。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z8VuUxfSY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEYL4ZBpkS
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbzy3fG7iu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RhVQIDWYK
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5Pw0Y3VX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZEyUhChMg
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lRN0HNka
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FWq3VnOpE
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3LbejSuE9
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN7yNlh1c3
［13座 西翼4/F］447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBHn14NFUF
［安寧病房］
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAxn5nydE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopEfmiwXRR
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著，加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌，她是安寧病房的護士。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOObTSdQ0y
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5phVHCFQ7
才一想起剛剛她那神情，那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情，除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重，如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6NK7dnCu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMNnwbWP8J
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfSkLyF5eX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1mhyfi9x
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步，入住這兒非為了治療，而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦，使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著，能保有最後的尊嚴，而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcQnvC7GkE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAvASIooRs
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中，身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人，只要不動聲色就會自動被無視，即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉，所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkccBB2r2h
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBolPQOzdu4
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚，通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室，當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUoIpfqo4c
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3egjmqa7m5
「明白。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiC0rTihZ8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Y4ZCWBmv
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏，連悲慟都沒有，在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhW5hUdg6U
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX9lnz6NvW
好冰冷，她的表情。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2s6azA6yB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseBxVIHrZn
好陌生，她的身影。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL6A9fltHw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx55vHUoWyN
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說：「我會通知工友Standby，盡快清好張床俾新病人。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhWGn67KVF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CmE4Uimgq
「嗯，至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上，要多加注意。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8KXZwpRlA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVykFumcY
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAoSikBsiq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HUBQ1wKSy
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc14lK3VtA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubAvSlZxK4
「係。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQClHfQkWbJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHSk8iZRcw
其他護士點點頭轉身離去，還順手關上門，我當然站在那兒繼續聽。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5JYLkaNFV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OORsiAcI5
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床，夏姑娘，我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogLVUN5Vc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWY8GDZy9x
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fuGojJsQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKVvNwgD7O
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq6OfUN8jZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR1EDxiO5i
「我認為自己無需要知道，如果我有需要知道，護士長早就俾咗資料我。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDJj62sosS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ayely5DcQ
「當然，但理由我希望自己親口講你知，你會主力負責佢，其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJRVj9Fei
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04DI0p4fVH
「咁原因係咩？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I5C6TxUt7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBpx0bjMlF
護士長拿出一份文件：「你之前有無睇新聞？嗯，身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0paar8T3Q
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZijIFfadwd
「喵！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXse2Jc0aVx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhFoH7O4yS
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺，我連忙低頭一看：「渺渺？！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2sD1JT7Sc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgX8IjvMc8
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出，在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨，然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWI6NoO5iO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtkOTWbZVq
「渺渺，等埋我！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQcUl8ngVB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmCVf1sF59
是來接我嗎？正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時，也是渺渺在引路，牠知道回去的路！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwUIFXtPZL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTSTjCEeny
「渺渺！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNTcwmqYs3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnq7e2cBCB
難得看到回去的希望，雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了，怎可能放渺渺跑掉！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnRi4oJf3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpOoB2VO87
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h8v9g0htG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FIbDuCzf
「喵哈？！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WDYi4ZCIc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpodvzYxf
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UBm1HT0ZB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23YyUXHlLQ
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC941OwJrj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs0FYPb1ji
「叮……叮……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQi2TnNrjZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHQcTuLuFF
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg32Efr6c7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnM2wQGQ4h
「…嗄…呼…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Y0hAmwut
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMnpmVUaGc
深呼吸，閉上眼，我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽，聞聲辨位，試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTNvRGtCq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRxgPWmFn
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwIZLUdj91
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWYv0xKI2
「叮……叮……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0NN4QLspZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHRTIQrYdZ
鈴聲相當悅耳，閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中，青天白雲之下，屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRPiQXGYwq
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhFR2sJ4fx
找到了！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK94XAKmxv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0xSXvSB3h
「喵！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA45Oa63ep
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneLgK0ohL4
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿，爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上，我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z3t1hqlOM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVAZy0euVm
光芒將我淹沒，待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF65qOBmRDV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqsBdiN3gV
回來……回來了！447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2lafnlqpm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2rCCXPa0V
「呼…呼…」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGQBfuyU4L
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8U2hvSZfh
定眼看四周，我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定？因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板，木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂，而這層沒有任何房間或門，就只有半開放的戶外空間。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvaTyGDJQS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTZ4oYGsZ
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIyKuOgVd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡganfn4G1iR
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台，露台朝西迎向夕陽，那兒鋪著榻榻米，放著一張矮桌和座墊，一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒，身穿白袍背對著我，一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQOGuWmqby
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQpCJIya4
「你係……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEqQ6jBpJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp9SS77ElX
「熟人。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PR79XgpsF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY18N4kV4Bf
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑，即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容，但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳，好像看到久違的老朋友一樣，盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
