「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf03PiVm86W
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ku6y9tXSa
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aKuMEprz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxmxNz6PIk
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAJCxbwCS8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7p0kca2PS
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4bNW77Gfe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyvkA2kJBx
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMAo3Z0P41
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5SBXUZ7L6
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaoSCC7OtZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc22a641og0
卻使我心頭一震！381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWWmkEcG9Y
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHJaGTUFhU
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYt7O39ckk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtUCozlLwM
甚麼解鈴之人。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nfsa8OykS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXzWf3leLE
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUAS43WJEd
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQltZ3SBw1
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHotra3Z6
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRw9Mttya1
「我無。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4GskqKF8P
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhj7b22F1w
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39YFHzpC1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H21ijScy2
「鈴兒……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYC5SouxtE
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn4Y0OGCMV
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpex4GIosJf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BapWoZ0iP
「你真係無事？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPupCBVoLbN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNTHx0fZaI
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnKUkmaJ7h
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Gh7nj28S
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXv40HEcu
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0cZ4eVZ85
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpS9QvqT9K
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6g9peNT9
「明……明白。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVodHEjlQK
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0i13rYmDN
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMLuZnIK82
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpzz0DF5g7
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPbvavHtI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviI5yyyyN1
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBZTjV6mdm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV9gW0v4nd
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQlhMtRYl3
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ0KQzRci7
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aGYm5YVMo
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTr9OeDdk2
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxbMJqmsgG
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQX4ib3UL
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt6qU6bcFC
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkwPF6Gb4P
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxS4KKdZ3a
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTNMS7f7Q
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4IhUwRbTk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeQuWXCYTB
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoDW8vyqIP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEI3gDehWz
「好。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3aOgHFoMx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY5rjGsKQ0
沙漏中的沙被停下。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLMhMC3Pz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aW0ItRhUt
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iGlZiK7gC
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVXR9iBX3H
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcf0dOPxr7
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGxKT2cVCz
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRhg3MOBPI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBffHOt9eZ
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHoVy3DTJ9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvZMKa4NpD
「呃……呃……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvnofTnpXk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTJmi4nQV6
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk63XyTfIXT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y47p8E2Xi
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxvXPNsQpy
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvuAMvGCfr
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wKeHqiVVB
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLl4vHAy15
「……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg1341P6Yb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWqbNf5tNN
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0GkMIwvXc
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuz74hCEqs
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9uMHUTpNi
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs8THUet0J
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gdiGZ8JV
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu00IaVK88q
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSllqW3X0d
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq2xJ4VBz9
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GpuzsiQ6v
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4hJ4ITXUL
假如鈴兒是錯的。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJJbv6U7Ha
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXQYkzaYI
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOtldhJta
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIu78Lbjnh
「……你咩意思？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qv5Qw6bHU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvziufWboED
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCawLuRH4h
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaVax83GWj
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN637ggKCbj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFONMX2TY2
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz241FNHlXU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkDJb9CyPx
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fk6xj2b9j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAIrCgKI17
「阡迴之門？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbvFV6UlHb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dcu6cWhr7
「跟我嚟。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInohe64ibm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXTMYFcc19
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKRMsh4Gz5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1c10HYLB
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJKth1PEN4
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHHumx2fCr
「叮…叮……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzKWzixvDh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6TJKDTBU1
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J388gQPAU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYxVhdcSV
「就會咁。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLB1Y93BJc
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUseqWEC8WV
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNwDGMnibW
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOx8YgWzat
「係阡迴旅館？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMlhGaO76h
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agSZwnSUW
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOG8efZ92
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHCmMzfhkG
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc3LcYFQa6
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3ZDzANSE
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEhr9P9tQe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeZ2q6i90F
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmwQTQUqk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLXF04oXJ6
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNEIN1Xbt5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWMuSo94r
沒有回去常世的未來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb37d5uOuQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ3vny1vGJ
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4jLaHBUQe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwMOdKDUKp
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPwntVfhy
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaazOOllOt
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM6sc5jpFS
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXm8GNcLOo
可是，卻——381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4lpGd7d0
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUH7QxkqgX
「無。」鈴兒說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zDWskfua
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjkRqtCU84
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjY9OBiz2N
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O7t0ImFpl
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjyBVfdSz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTdrW7t44H
「真心咩……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJfTwylA0X
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dY2nGFMJ
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlTfNqHVPP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFB7WRHT7
我一時間答不出來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqAWdk4NTA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCd8ZG7TOj
回家？當然了，我想回家。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToUqN2T2kb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGOycDeMYq
但之後呢？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2tkE9Alj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPgjy97Dp
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQy3UIBRR
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3gtdGyrDW
我甚麼也不會成為的。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXDeWcArb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9eDGpTZM4
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKR6ItASQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDbrLwd7iz
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yjzQ6VKmO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DCa7ZutUL
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYFbOFSG1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7LzUSQM8u
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1g8wQEA3x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2lZMPookn
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPpBjwgbOo
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpWn7eSRw3
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOTuRVP4qm
