「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OB8bwo1MQ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSwBbeAM0h
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Jc8KXRmJ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSKMExMuY0
「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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkuVBluPb
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FUtGlkMPn
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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3sshQrCBu
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjUS8RggJ
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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jt4OqbqTm
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9WwPU3cyE
沒法子。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YFnIf73jg
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dNraoZcvl
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！518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb7kWsLTGG
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBxPy2xYzM
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwcsOBNyKZ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0x2qSfqA9
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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h20dNqQcG
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3se1hKc8Xm
店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyQe5HawXj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSRJM0ZOG
「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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhSbeOcqUm
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE6JMwPtJG
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。」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAqa5BZew1
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4xLkkTr8
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIqYGpR6jX
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgBwff1xMX
「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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU26qdmT53C
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VIH13lgw
「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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MrocENKAT
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceH4Uxp0Vi
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWYoiHw9vt
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurMfqKWSo
「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！」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil1qZlQMWi
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO6TuBpQmC
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEegYmcFQN1
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4Ohm07zS
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNWdIv3bcO
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkD3lh6GT1
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCKDaMYrGh
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cOIsgj9wq
「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。」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpFvavvgV
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJfVpSuG1
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO153ggza9
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkHCxEKfbP
「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？518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin9EXeiR0y
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN3uq38TLz
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ROMzpK95
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2R0sbH7z
「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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTcdOGwiKL
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5lDDQ2wmM
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvCWM3J17e
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXoNjLlCws
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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxln1tHCKr
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLo72BqYj
像虛擬世界。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sYelty5Sr
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDjz898huz
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmcUVoHXka
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvV1PjjkT
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXpb9HnZb
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M2Q3hatlr
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELGsUC8q7h
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGMEF7lA1
店外，夜色蒼茫。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ536l9TZn
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXDzezoyC0
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。518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8oXdFTEN
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9htLunYCa
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。
