愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCTFEdHlbB
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT0Ai0IZRx
但準確來說，是前攝影師。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuEyinVrBi
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqXiskIRBU
「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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOKCONPAcT
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwBnEsQ3E
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6PsK7PIvR
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5O59ct6e
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU6VJdbex6
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm5l2MZof3
「好靚係唔係？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E95xKo50W
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLA3lEHhk
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmq8Qxg7oq
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjG0FuXVda
「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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0DoOGmUaF
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LQEjpPENH
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkOAXrnyx0
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0KaCIIXf
「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……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YuDBGJNTg
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99321NZErN
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKsNeza5tr
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHRdpwYb0N
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMEl5IfDCl
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8QnnZ74r
「返去嘅理由…」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiQ8YUM9U
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqkJa8owzO
「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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGYmSIoNqg
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWplXLjsB6
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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOlU70yzaY
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJu6dkson
「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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbplmNzsTy5
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPREoYX6wR
我心中一沉。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4gMApAydy
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZbiPyx3YL
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcrpc96nS
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1LD36YvDc
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPpe00AZjB
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAItIaVzkx3
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXT7w34UTf
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzIhtHNO23
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA11Zte1im
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2f6bvDUMe
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtwq6aAtRc
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT41HwTHTN
「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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjN0uqDe7E
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbQNrzbpkE
「我始終想再睇多次。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLktKsjdWy
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEhDGJfini
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnUAd4PlLk
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsMBoyPOBL
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4IS8YMev
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBWqQ6nmrI
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…？388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HxtqTVuKm
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhcHK8d51s
甚麼跟甚麼。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlFZL3MC5v
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnrMo1SctW
「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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pCNWLkEK2
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyh7WgiTu
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Mt9a5zGu
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZTqhAr8i
「例如——」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOV5wFjWg
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvFbZj3eV
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtxxk4q4Fl
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtbEREWL1F
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc88rtmqlq
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczcShBcSUU
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI1DZcIzvm
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoeIjjTJPq
「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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbBidAV9LT
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlpzExcsuN
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQNewDgH6
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIstNLPaLiO
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU8oIZlGM5
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAjuENjimI
「Hall 2B？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheLQtABqsG
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XVX57f5x1
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」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXNYSgeTW7
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOy4zHB15u
「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？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aJHbiuzHB
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjg0mcCsek
我點點頭：「嗯。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gawTVL8Tt
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO83KaX3v6
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1QNqyycQ
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwOBhuIm35
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZsXoZeci
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFWneFie8M
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJIBcGoWum
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjpPYo2VG
「嘎——」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82EDidiBNb
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQcPvtTY2
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！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdtDHhoiB
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSboRVqPLz
「呢度……！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofRBMU4N5r
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8vpsLYzQ
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PcjKsMoA
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8CaDSqsBJ
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……388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBL4FISP2b
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEcYbO0wd
「咦？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7NyCT0d6D
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEn7G0OHOM
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ40J1J0OM
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKDviFJ74P
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPCm24KPhR
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCp0hM7Bns
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ5e032JWt
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7H2jg3kPi
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoFLslLggX
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ607ekTKPRS
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWFzM6qDbi
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEncC1W5hKw
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTgMc9NZNb
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn05ME2iDQ0
「呢度係……」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFZKQEgHUa
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbI3fY9JZR
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGmoMNROQ8
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTaLSTPeD4
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83j74rmse0
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhd2ANK58
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。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtR296xjki
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvwgqCaPQH
「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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSxmoJSiVh
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0E8i008S
「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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GeeY5JVTr
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG6dcoMIcX
就在那瞬間，我看到了。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32DT7NmChL
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc5WMsFbiW
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！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIwEnvvvhj
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2sBY8WSrY
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SDOEDoaM
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8dmhnIBhA
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YA4CzwXh4
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ZNddPUnP
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？388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsow8yMmIOl
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWXQLjWvNW
「我地行呢邊。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhWQInTv9c
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaIObTLmAg
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBSNQbtFSZ
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCJ2mYBBP
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！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1HLE6t3pE
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80xHsH7VE
「嘎——」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88uSABMHeX
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0ZVUE91n
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！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS72cp2kv8
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96WqXEbwwl
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyYPi0Txr2
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm8NjBxhm0
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJnvgUV6m
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBPCX4V4d
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfV1pajNsN
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAG1xCanoG
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuHFnAsn0K
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5V8D0D4Lv
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMHX9Hohd
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPWmEvj96j
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKx59jT7oF
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpZ8HAhPgS
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXaAyltKTc
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamjswGGuLQ
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。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb9XH7uLgM
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfUOJLGEAu
但唯有那一句不變。388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFBieQjpjO
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Uzd57rbC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93umnIMpaI
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RDOXIM2U
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
