「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgaeoSnE2B
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIxlGoqP4E
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPjYO8er1x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb2rVd7293
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VaJKPntBe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZN2l0cCOY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6b59wFTrs
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUTMGcFJMl
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimoxeOMn0
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgOnJKGsNq
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6TduEEYza
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqZDmtj4W6
卻使我心頭一震！381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQXmKkUG6j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cnE333I6R
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7WRfeU3WY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrFvtwwNVo
甚麼解鈴之人。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEiqTk6Nwa
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mJt5N18C
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7tTYCyKK
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe641Bg2Hef
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zcOjP31j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1nj1Mkteg
「我無。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbIDjcJodM
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbUHNjl4wy
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrdXpE8WRk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG4sPOjOdJ
「鈴兒……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuPVje3z1j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvMiFZ2Hyx
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojj91eVWyk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NRsykayd
「你真係無事？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIHPQVijMF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oBHKo5SJ0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD9va9pjwn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB44hgdFiq9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQEQN0I4M
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcN8Jubh6E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C9fybUa3j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq9DCfopaY
「明……明白。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUTuxNB2vY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ohXwG0BG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3T9oirTph
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuakTudsGoj
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp7HLXtwQh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTqDfh0ALw
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGPquFhJHz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSXGOsiSgl
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZKhwfnkSb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qgoqjXbA
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQyTSJ8IfV
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzT4yCjEmg
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDi3VXc9Fx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23kLodMO8C
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2cj7Z8fi
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbd9OpKAJH
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuaDmjSUo8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucR3aamOTX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoFqLEIrVf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZndKDc09ar
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGSbb8a5IX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPhkZt7Ej
「好。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6VgDWFzSz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI2ikMus83
沙漏中的沙被停下。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4c3kbv3sn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OVsYP10Qo
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNoqv42G1Z
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRSTxtEubz
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6qkozzcfx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4KTeLXXlR
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTzY2WfCsP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhFnaMjdB
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD1OvmsB2x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVjle0Jj5M
「呃……呃……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsjtMEWWWz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6XgJfwpbc
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVZUXIbIN3
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuAvX3ZN5m
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbM8sieotf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YOxxX68n2
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlpl3xJrlu
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGeVcw3vAo
「……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBsc7AEOc
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2o2jNGKBu
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG1o3pYLo1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKw8oo2d1G
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjdbALBjoH
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpjTpyypna
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle9zzPZ3vR
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZqflIQtCM
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkB5tdlxoQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZyHFREyB
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvVwqADT3j
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgpIXrUXsq
假如鈴兒是錯的。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYSQpah5Z
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlbYYwvioI
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkhOJOXE1Y
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz21k0UX06o
「……你咩意思？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJyOwvUtf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYvcPnlnW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ZezPmRvq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqlt6dAq5y
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Mp06sSJo
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdGaoU0wCs
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijipqwnVQ2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5QbQrfXDa
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwE4hNuuri
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAM9AhQwaJ
「阡迴之門？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gayJabFdf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1qc112Ydc
「跟我嚟。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaW8hz3s6Q
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2n62pjB6j
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZkV2GM8wU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DIbdyH4Bk
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Uks8vH0e
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8jU40oBVK
「叮…叮……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ItBDoFhLU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QoZ2vGUgi
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53dFCxpWd9
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CcZF7E3aU
「就會咁。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjWMmWyXvV
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL7mZo2Ek6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1CQiWr0JI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kuyn8Wter
「係阡迴旅館？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmviLfVq7A2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfLhmE1L2
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbv2cIn1qk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c11bIDhxo
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQAbmNYtdh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh2CjBM1UO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNIRTTrG1H
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqdLWUAOTc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0U7eCcRbX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbzWMimvAZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7SydeoCtq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnO21EdooM
沒有回去常世的未來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OBvxmo5JO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90dubhkxR
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI8aYzGzCB
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZO3ICWTp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOokAB1nIWY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjWBchT48Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcgawDyKqg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRHsim9Gv
可是，卻——381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqSimTjc22
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKLhAI8Ued
「無。」鈴兒說。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDhe9gHa1
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gk5m0KeG9
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj9Zht4Zgk
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDXOG55Ujj
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaERJLN0JP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRItyKJzZv
「真心咩……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkq3BP21HI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4D7UiCBfO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpZE5wpr09
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt8UcyPR8t
我一時間答不出來。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfvEqvJcj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI7SJSQeBR
回家？當然了，我想回家。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl395JfN2x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTAgM3ulr4
但之後呢？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc05mMLG5PN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUXtxf4O9S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99wkEYeop
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOOAy9792l
我甚麼也不會成為的。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB2Ie6oAZ7
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcwQG3z78y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkTrNzJTP3
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjgypjh1O
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdQxhiAV2K
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwP7QYH5g
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Jp1pXvxZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J6XwisAb3
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkXvg2aiTn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhiTzvNo7e
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0D3cKH2fb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmqw6nLRY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGYXNzZLh7
