「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfBoDUjByX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROoBVZoOX1
「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？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EVsj1PYUl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu7gqf51qy
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zGYbK7i1J
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BneJQpetP
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rXfZyBFv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddquWDTh6I
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltESoUyoKn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEzZdmpCGL
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9loYtqJVNz
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOXCLmr5lS
卻使我心頭一震！266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNoOBmpxkg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcXY24IR2C
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn0d2M2b3K
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4909IhOZc
甚麼解鈴之人。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhTjQUP1Sm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMlits9WSt
「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？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAPON2ull7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS4CWXIROK
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMGkB1roQ7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa10ovQufBz
「我無。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSoCtwFL1L
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPccCnQG7rV
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzEjyv104z
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6NJrrpUMg
「鈴兒……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q3wlbwZFw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57zgdyIutd
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiMSMrSe3t
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT33APlGVM
「你真係無事？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJTiXouNx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyiT9TK3Wg
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbZO3Ult8r
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX6x0nsUfB
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVlz6Ypr2S
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP32NCkNlG9
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfzxQQ0AA5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYMvq3rlUf
「明……明白。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxwFMnIuu8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOYyPYHDqw
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！266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2h1cR7oAm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3QxCaoFJ
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytfZQMN3Y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYE911nyxZ
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVjKzSLEyj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ969IZYrZAx
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13pjzHxuYX
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvET3K6sVf
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsXYhvBf69
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz447sEzEeZ
「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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt2nkBCCSq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgsJyh8e1M
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAvkWpRG2n
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi40Cq3tNv
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2706e4aLx
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOCaCpJLnq
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x47ebsBKl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYDKKniSek
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxnZwv1CYh
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF77jHw2WI
「好。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nW0Ivfsii
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8nynin3xv
沙漏中的沙被停下。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlF30tCjrH
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpFCcdWtUG
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UzSbtVPS0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbKFDTWoiL
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfNNF4ncT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YcOY7Dv0D
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl7Cre9s4h
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa2p5a9UHK
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6V69OUJy6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I7BgymI8T
「呃……呃……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuApO3eiteF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRh2d8oXjN
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtEh2tru0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqV84Kj4KB
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8yAmZyScZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LJxnthJDF
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzwg9JyFWC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViN3ntVO6a
「……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGNQrCZjPM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhZfVJNYIr
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GB8dYUH4S
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzXpdaCNhV
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsfVOzT5BP
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusigpbdoZW
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntVvpgb4O
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmUesqYg5A
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qQ1JNU06o
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtvNkAXQ6
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen4kjhSCLF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMEOiPPCWs
假如鈴兒是錯的。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelfqZHEXAV
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlro1168Sab
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SUVJnfPbn
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFmUIcT2O
「……你咩意思？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMpLyuZqV5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwYwvPjREu
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？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyDEz1pwdv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7HbYgtmY
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVRX6AOdE
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDRrZTLo0E
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWorBr0Tl5F
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptsaGNuO0a
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYsaSzF69Q
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVviB7nwMs
「阡迴之門？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2iTcaLXmJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6oruyRDD
「跟我嚟。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6toTNts4vd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkigvPVZSOo
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttMca1CtD9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWXlJqBWG
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMT19KYaCU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKORoPG5ph
「叮…叮……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeifMaRmmPG
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux4voWY3Ox
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEpUzqyywF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaRs9Ohdca
「就會咁。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mz3CV6ryj
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27PHDBIS9u
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoA3QaOuTm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ816e4Ufh
「係阡迴旅館？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSh6UrDYgT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7GWFh2n0A
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5li7mVauE0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4FRvsHUN
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeduLU7ZOLl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk26H8hl2S
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB02yPtbnI
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsSNl4ixnE
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgF53CaKYM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYI5fKpTmq
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4DsTzqhn1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUMACrPc4J
沒有回去常世的未來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6edxOSG1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySZMvTvbm0
「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！」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgralBGeeM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMcZjmXLFQ
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd65iL5qaIv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBsgmTGkEk
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxsWLCkV8V
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6k1vsHzxx
可是，卻——266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7H9ewAfCd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxdLzG431Y
「無。」鈴兒說。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJejaXKfp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhF9R9e1M8
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduEMfdN2Ht
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRiRHxIX4w
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bQYpQNMm3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVFyepQE9
「真心咩……」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6LeNOAPA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPVSQMxBD
「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？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qh3QySbdu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kTf955agg
我一時間答不出來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46apqAw51y
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVQAI7fWna
回家？當然了，我想回家。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rL4inuxWD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9nFs7fgJY
但之後呢？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhqHPwaFh9
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLsCuG3co
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？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1l4z8rkPd
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjUYpiVuf
我甚麼也不會成為的。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YrEsv5Kl
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB36udYYHI
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？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAEj4YmVfu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hi7WihiSP
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCCsfJdOTg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rPnvccRz
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56tyvtc79B
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7pL6j8GH
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf8hnq0CEr
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMP2taKe4b
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p9LIteVuv
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS2P0d2fx4
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFep2qj6Cxm
