愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9g3D3yXQC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGJbvyVLKr
但準確來說，是前攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAZxC34xp5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMsF6duNZ
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRknFQNvnD1
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr26ZCXGXW
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqgROtgzmM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63afAYgRsF
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHsVRH3tO8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmlEpOmXgL
「好靚係唔係？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcA49jNXxm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRw7w6ljqe
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbddVVUmvFw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXEinZAWf1
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxI9fpD8Xc
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkuwAKXdz
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bhB7fBSH4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9jbL0ZPY
「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……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp5OGwIQLK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh1IrCgEny
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALNlcocaMy
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWWKTJVGLm
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaEB6qkwoh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO35PGGqkx
「返去嘅理由…」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAYZNHMu2T
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnaUh08ZG8
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMHcxAqnPw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqminQ89za4
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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx2BghYV6g
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfemsu805Sp
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymBkgwdZib
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy7VfwlZNw
我心中一沉。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlkxafuOD9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v0weI8rkB
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2mC5WfJn
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2YWBieIGf
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGznRLRALY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2XLtTlDC
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRtOTdgOV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYhEseLdZ0
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0iDjEkjeb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZY5bK229t
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJTeeCOERj
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdCTtdV8Lq
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQHM5csOwK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOzGEbwiK
「我始終想再睇多次。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEkZfV2lY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWxQrgq9VA
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQ8VvMwpT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr17CLBRxY
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeFjufeXn2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcCpDRU9Dr
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…？840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAeqakfapO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJRGe5RvVl
甚麼跟甚麼。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXAbPjQpX
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5VwRoLFQj
「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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqHiQijxe7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlxUkHkiKY
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGsOVjCRXR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAvNj4Zt11
「例如——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUCcaMDGli
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr18XViSWBK
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmyn0MhzU2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4yNpXE7f
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZidpsdhSR8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtUJxJjYi9
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UfSLMC6qk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykBbE8LX9C
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFPCaXJCp4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz5TtYmpZA
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvWNu98GuY
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCc5ikNFu0
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG43QLgK4X
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIzhHxgfDF
「Hall 2B？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3TaPkV3fH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtOwwFVvFs
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」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD03XhWQcu
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTipAJKx31B
「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？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGi2Z3Sx2y
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQTvBjhBxg
我點點頭：「嗯。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP4Dr5OOAi
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0z4eao9Va
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GTzfzilPD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fJSKTPRHw
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqXWVO7fLF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jf1AdOVqh
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtnzfF4Q9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r8yb77FtD
「嘎——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi3P5qJKvU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAisEkzdz9
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOR42lU39t
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9KoHtxWH4
「呢度……！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADeBbqtnFP
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy2LcO1khI
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMHhQ7qyWA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH3zsZ4Gqz
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……840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7f8uPsBQh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz4toKrAS9
「咦？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1OvvcJq5s
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfOVyu6JbX
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPyIwKXK0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡablZMybwBa
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOW2e7t6RL
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eVIF6TiY7
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUljwQUravv
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchuBSUo4eW
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFqXS92Gs4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGA6U2Hrwy
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ3uzTQDpF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHr8gL8UV5
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjstvYkQwIk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApspGdh8pZ
「呢度係……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLYUxxjQbD
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvMYPZmFnL
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnaxeAsIL9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGb2JeynHl
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWE7rCswo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uO8DRSOfV
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。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQbQWJYFPJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ASwD5Ydc
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhnuPoChu8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CX0nRKzTj
「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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8hwKQ9wGT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpUb1NXXTX
就在那瞬間，我看到了。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCpVhSVuFJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcKmCaQL6H
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVoJyDt2SZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItG8hkBsP7
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YClGLnVoM
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVgSsopXHK
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXKrFtuumt
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpekvOzH2lx
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？840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuINZguzRsz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0FEFYRtI2
「我地行呢邊。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO72mq16Fdy
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59cTO57lZg
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu100STIbeC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mg8mDhrR
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FkeLmvkT
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU4dq1Tc7Y
「嘎——」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwDf9FR70E
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIJgaWMOaW
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！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEYrG3CS17
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnolJDXxdgo
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakYB5vrEDU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP87VkFXhL
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ267LB3PV9e
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRscPeb2rd
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tDJXcEqJa
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Le5yj3Z7
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDfzJfxuGC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6amYnSqnn
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYaJKugZ6i
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4otk059oi
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06dEruvZ5p
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRSxLjWqdk
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTroU3lLiS
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBVWjY9X1M
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。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT0VO2LAiS
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnAChK7Ckf
但唯有那一句不變。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFHGQ01w81
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZTTdLAJF
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmabwCrmjC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZdsaB9mt
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。1234 copyright protection836ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo4URf1Bw3 尼
