「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzwxy3kU0W
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3rofK4nQZ
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWc5JCr2sv
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRdARZgYDm
「這裡不好嗎？鳥語花香，豪華大宅、美酒佳餚。還有，我和小思都在這裡！」她輕輕招手，招來小思——我們的愛女。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr63V3PVWm
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzLFyCi8E
年僅五歲的小思胖胖白白，兩眼水汪汪，腦後頂著兩彎稀疏的小辮子。她鼓起兩頰紅透的小腮子，模仿媽媽的動作，摟抱著我的小腿。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLajYeOYGF
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZqhyS1FZ
她們的每一句話、每一個動作都正中我的軟肋，硬生生將我的理智和情感撕裂。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobyRr0iZF0
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxonZ5ByLY
沒法子。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEywFNTdee
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEBVlxjOZm
她們的外形來自我的記憶，言行源於我的心念，再加上高端科技營造出來的聲音、氣味、觸感，二人活脫脫就在我眼前、我懷中！661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8lDFuJ4fh
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaV7QJly3m
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1mfPpQZr
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudtSj8nnBT
暗黑的狹窄環境與虛擬世界內的柔和日光形成強烈對比，我的腦袋和眼睛霎時間適應不來，暈頭轉向，整個人從床上滾掉到地面去。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj892TndN8

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS5jcwQ5AJ
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2ULtBh2v
「先生，事前我向你解釋過流程，你應該知道強行脫下頭盔的後果可大可小。輕則昏迷數天，重則永久癱瘓神經系統，變成植物人。」大叔外表粗豪，說起話來卻是婆婆媽媽的。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVwp4ziPBl
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJn7OtgOd
我硬撐起身子，背靠床架癱坐著，勉定心神，穩住呼吸節奏後，不忘向大叔道歉：「不好意思，嚇壞了你。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gqzhkL8U0
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYlmlgk1KH
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaUTqOCIri
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHg2Rhkh45
「如果機器因為我的行為而損壞，我會賠償。」我是個負責任的男人，無論對人對事皆然。我為此自豪。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKpb2Yj9JG
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWB2A2UX8N
「不是這個意思……」大叔終於反應過來，上前攙扶我到休息室去。他拿來熱毛巾，敷在我的前額。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzqOq4B79
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh9c5KAZxs
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6QN9aARux
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDy97Uny3x
「忍耐一會吧。」大叔自顧自在我身邊吞雲吐霧：「誰叫你不依規矩！」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWDCAi5Cw
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7usH9a4qH9
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXmL2iDPOr
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDXq0EdQxD
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSUA8D1lBV
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAEEQmJJdL
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNMrIwrcD
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbmiHRRUV
「顧客願意花大錢前來光顧我店，大都是因為抵不住親人離世的傷痛。」大叔意味深長地補上一句：「你不是唯一一個。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhinj6mdEaX
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwGdfAqZsR
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXU2yK9VP9
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPyOcxG6sJ
「所以你有能力捱過去——因為大家都捱過去了。」大叔輕視我的悲傷？661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkd1EXDt93
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujMg3mWM6l
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gngfm6V8E
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvT7FRoKl
「我知道。他們花掉大量金錢懷緬過去，直至身無分文才如夢初醒，不得不重投生活、找工作賺錢，然後漸漸忘記傷痛。只有你，有本事打斷自己的思念之情，爽快俐落地回歸生活——你剛才主動向我道歉，而不是恃著自己的悲傷鬱結鬧脾氣。」大叔遞菸予我。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ9gIgDkWG
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8XddtzPZi
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500xhrJjZw
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7d0DuOM4
菸紙的雪白、菸紙的粗糙質地、菸草的濃烈氣味、菸草被手指擠壓時的微弱碎裂聲響、濾嘴被叼在唇間時散發的淡淡化學味道，一切真實而空虛，沒有靈魂。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdtxaTLjT
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZuIZXbWFl
像虛擬世界。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3NIl88XCm
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOttLINDr2
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65mGHM6yYd
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwb14ghvpr
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf0psEvXJ0
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8GvfaDYnQ
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWR5INPOfK
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmS0HjIkoU
店外，夜色蒼茫。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEznJvEEBVa
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ykJPrnyP
我回望店面的霓虹招牌——紫白藍綠四色甚有節奏地閃爍著，耀眼奪目。661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvR4HnKERc
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC6UZ0sIPf
但只消放寬眼界，就會發現它只是萬千燈火裡的其一，毫不起眼。
