「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p0npprfIb
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQqb4BDp8H
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTIktifMER
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1vfwOh4R4
「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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej2BHI1xwv
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6fAqmhdG
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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Fn7n3mUh
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhulEiZGTVw
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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq4qgb68dL
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukkEEwXyq
沒法子。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaeH7fU6mZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMrmB3YN03
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！541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCTHWEiaY7
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQM0Q6YhX
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaB7OENLGj
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHQFoN4bfb
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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGWDhfCSN
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9edl4ojkhh
店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTDJLg2OdF
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntstKonQT
「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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLEv2NFAdX
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIFyPdspVX
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。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUwByCUx7
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jvCgJw9u
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuP6q8MJd4
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv8NpAGgbR
「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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnMgMJw5q
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVEjkNlUE
「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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwpCVnxF8Y
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SrqxpWIlB
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOxQKEMMeV
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mu9RHnW5
「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！」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR46uboGhd
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HlG0loBNp
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnC5TD226q
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeRzuXqaNj
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYiHdAzal
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAQHqzl7iV
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhagLRMYqM
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0oVIxOaiZ
「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。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFlxgO1Me
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMMGmzL4yv
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOps4NociZ
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7K2imCpv8
「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？541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdBJY5vNSl
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqSuxfN8Z
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrlL5iyDI
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5XALu9jrh
「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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkzvVHslgc
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEByXtZvS27
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvV0nan7ML
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pRptqqmoM
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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFFAyaVBc9
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHWgaXB7qZ
像虛擬世界。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx14bNmqdfc
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPoi1FyobG
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5XXcdFAEd
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZfbCRqP4
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFptIwjP4q
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfyaJjfyRt
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPepMHdpwu4
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTbWwPaCs6
店外，夜色蒼茫。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmjD68laNh
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NAy9pQ7dB
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。541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd22lXLsKq5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKQb1sTib
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。
