愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrusFjMmgEn
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmSi4eS6h8
但準確來說，是前攝影師。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr304NGPMmG
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagF8Bm6mJB
「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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoCDa9S3iG
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSFXVVOgXu
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvYpRUOjd7
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVR0W9KHZ8
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzbCJXBcNh
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQQtwMGgH4
「好靚係唔係？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw099z8imU9
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wqjyiMwJ
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RQhi4L9f8
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrnJsZGo7
「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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLodNJmmnx
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMImDSUH10
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU71JGkLZah
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7tqET5DJL
「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……」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgUwRDgxE
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73LQaUW8Fa
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPFhgMottl
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu652NrROw
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H8CRT1TTn
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkZtJvOHZi
「返去嘅理由…」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8S8sEDu17
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQyDI75vd
「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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kip9CQA6E
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW04NLSrGp
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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHydHF0Yle
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBn1BXX1a
「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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PYEnKXjoz
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6IeJzygWN
我心中一沉。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lHkIyJy3I
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyQovW179K
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp3kKTbqQU
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmOlZ256x2
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7bJBeaAWJ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSGkasyv1
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF1rtkQK4o
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiObqvZHrR
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwoFAFpgGA
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwowPzDy5q9
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmangkZ2lz
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eGV6vO4rO
「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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO1Uyu6uum
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfe8xZj2W
「我始終想再睇多次。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQlHiG3Wk0
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeumImzjkSm
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHeDf7pZKq
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwJBpYeTM0
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG5P3Ys0V0
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnelNgCts0
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…？464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1QYyyD1Jm
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWRvKmoMf
甚麼跟甚麼。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV3Lb6UOm6
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGhIOOomo1
「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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgSw5Gsf3c
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j2icCeOCt
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoQ5kSkvmD
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq0gGprkfV
「例如——」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX1UQUfHrH
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODOtbSRyz
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtK6wBZyPk
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0OctSYCAi
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzFH03hmyE
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtECiXt2Dof
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGCXWD54s4
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbVYehVrtq
「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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmt5KXsQB0
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xybUk8yQe
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk2F5DL26g
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq0gLnFzQt
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYsKzumGlP
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK0AVEKCYh
「Hall 2B？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyIhvFBUNF
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4UlfmZNFJ
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」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9uFJREaMD
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBk1cEDQTD
「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？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNkiIQcGDG
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6w3pHY9BQ
我點點頭：「嗯。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DrAa0I3W
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtjgdJR5bg
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWw0r4cMJ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCxOdyVqt
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqbjaqZOnq
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXygmt8yXK
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDG11dcJy2
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yVyo3u5Tn
「嘎——」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCvro1WphY
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sX1HeAK7L
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！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi9YrYqau7
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kswX5FEj3
「呢度……！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Zc79Gawe
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZEbNXJh4b
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOXHyUhIs6
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx5QEA9PfD
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……464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j6lNLOOiO
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4QdiciKEm
「咦？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHAwvivlXf
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcmqZ7Si9F
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZcUOMXTi5
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4sj1QDTZE
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0jabXNap
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSdvKU98XK
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vc16Zbms4
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuvn1QJH0O
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLs4e0cjJ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emV7HomJJ
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6gFJQJaNM
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNIAzKJRX7
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49OSb0aDp
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLgwSzQ41O
「呢度係……」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBdM0G9IaR
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4t4Ohdda
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn97rtTkyOG
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElyHydGIou
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGO8poUYDO
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT1JGPt9IF
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。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uBewb0vbr
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJk6k5Ktg
「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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlIPqntMW6
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvRRCHgqiy
「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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgE9zK0ImB
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIkGA4QRhG
就在那瞬間，我看到了。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8h8Bsyk9T
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG49VoTbyja
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！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5pY4O4VMl
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnmNMpdD1s
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0KnYUDGIO
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvGWxs1Wwq
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGaUeP49p5
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazsW7oCVEp
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？464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiyPw0KQYn
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAzIV2Ln6W
「我地行呢邊。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KdWSLaLMJ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQchZvlleG
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdqcJyEyuf
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMEIkkSte
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！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m31TCEC1B
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5PNv7ItfR
「嘎——」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQBeDVZuZ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6Ub7EYbU
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！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zaOwhRhk
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2i0OboZiz
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOTVd2SfU
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Id7ePDIS
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSp4oOe1sc
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTgDwTOJhS
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1216Gc2Mj
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn9gpZuSov
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXlmdGzUsV
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wbMkcWYva
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjXrhWtEmx
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLjojoHloT
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72eUhiIJBx
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEYxh5d2v
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMePaZq12f
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX7Bp76mqC
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。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkb9PH22L
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH3WN9gLAc
但唯有那一句不變。464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBCLws6cPb
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T1YI0dkOb
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyP3ZHWzpx
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdlaLJaEZB
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。8964 copyright protection460ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59r57MbhE 維尼
