「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvGKkP9rMr
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcL6PWhmYP
「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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAcCpA14ge
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTKpSizT35
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrME8N48VA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZonuoUJY
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoSOznNU3c
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QCMNrLx2J
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyIMCoqeiA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAqaq7kwy9
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKYXrCw3p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ym6t9tz1
卻使我心頭一震！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhA9Tt1Bre
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS7Tgf6dM9
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0IsP3niAh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtIVx3Dju6
甚麼解鈴之人。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnUGPnDZWB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQtwpkAtO
「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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUyH5jeDI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98heBPkQTu
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI93uBXiVI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsIABk8Wr5
「我無。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhygxaNTB8z
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXuH5krQdP
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSyUPJZani
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiveEBJyI5
「鈴兒……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkY68Y5ZKw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyXhvqb5Mm
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iiSNLAZrN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2LKKKLGFR
「你真係無事？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgA3xO4ba6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3bnTLMiBn
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCV5adtBoV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFzkJpxWxR
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLB40ZvXXv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOduL3pzLD
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B5Ao5FYn7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5iiZqlHTt
「明……明白。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLRACIqko
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHzE4wPKU
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！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW0xbdeyhh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03vveYUyjP
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYy8whiW3a
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPfROOM9BD
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AgmBXLy8V
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8scEdd1iee
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEqwGgMyTI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApm8tnXril
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhpGS8FYL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCNM1iJlQF
「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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFhkLTxLX
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NJySmYluM
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3At8JRzBg1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2CGAXpJh
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi90p0DmaJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG0aSwUOrj
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydJA68MEQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3iPpRrRMG
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRkbNpnR5s
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbBvuLbf8q
「好。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRnveyxsLh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64V9Wb2jvS
沙漏中的沙被停下。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ICksv92F1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhk6tmYyYP
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAAszXkoNm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaOGGJvB08
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIIheF2lPo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Lv94C7tG
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuDmV79hkB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFluwY0Dr4
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQGIrKgF3A
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze6ej4Gy6Y
「呃……呃……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ2tcroaBs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9yXKAPvcp
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvreVvOjEwj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9g0eCn6Nb
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViUv5NgTsC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEAEG6nkmC
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2xhXyE0JR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJem2609B4i
「……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunAQCd3Sg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT6kgaeNGr
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uc57qO0Tv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmCEu9a5FB
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkZmsT4PkA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fpPJmyTuY
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKNOrCLBTy
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYh3UPnF0g
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfQs85cswY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ9Qn5dGIR
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOudyFsWKN2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYsIzbGYJb
假如鈴兒是錯的。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrx4v9ENS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Nymj89XF
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeIzShMCOG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJPxhvVlDv
「……你咩意思？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOZ9rO4Cnz
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX6a8T1dtH
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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpjhIxss0F
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aMgDTbYfy
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lGGgCoPPh
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv3WoK8827
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZAxyvJdh2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtu82krbSV
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThiYZQvleE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy9zYRyRk2
「阡迴之門？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs65fJbs41
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46T9ou2xbs
「跟我嚟。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHh2OAVJea
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYQlARt00
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkdznacO4o
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd5xhyThVm
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZl98IXbU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0n0Ys1rjj
「叮…叮……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaKOgERfOk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiTY7En7ye
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX5AMx6BFw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1UFjTt9Ga
「就會咁。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy5Jd4Fy7Z
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRybjNgwMt
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJ5swKwBQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iWqafn9FP
「係阡迴旅館？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2OSrNJehw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2cqi9V138
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WAL5pA449
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagyNZISe8L
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJYuECAii
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrThAaqkhj
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDLO8GRxB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAO47wPjdd
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF905q9FRA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83DOizBWzu
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGx12ZEJnR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEg2VIOaVj
沒有回去常世的未來。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TyDPRH148
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziedPTutYs
「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！」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8w8ogq2LJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjpgjTmoAD
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaiGO6UzHc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjNHwaeLU
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B3tKSvCmv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEBjFZQnAp
可是，卻——378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9pz5tLmsu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM983aAIfeY
「無。」鈴兒說。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM1kxwBuGa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvt9pGtvww
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnFHhl6B4h
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3fXqq4nR
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY4Z5i4sSK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0gnI5D7Y1
「真心咩……」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRETQWsEo7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBBZP4rKVY
「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？」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5DnSE2pw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzwXxj0QRp
我一時間答不出來。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Xa3gHOFD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ybAy4hCT
回家？當然了，我想回家。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshyfquSw6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXuWJlDBrp
但之後呢？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM3pOykQxg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiJiGlGmwT
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？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKI52yRfJu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMAH4UHUtJ
我甚麼也不會成為的。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjuf1UmgH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPPWf6fRY
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？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtImU9rw3fH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuogXV1jur
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsg5YzBIlx
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmabrghbc2T
「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。」378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODBEA7d1iV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKUDKa5OEq
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR6mlSjjlR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgORFfrVqE
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoV5gPSEfn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4MVZaSeI
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。378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND1gEwHrlB
