愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2A5c3HkQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoWkJF6QCB
但準確來說，是前攝影師。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ptwUPpEYG
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj9qyW3mGZ
「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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd460ADWQO
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWQr5QvPK9
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78srmymtCt
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWbOV79rYP
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNck4IuunSM
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW7WR02csP
「好靚係唔係？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62KRfpDs8B
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKE3pNwFfT
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVPvrqLSwj
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1i9kn58s
「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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeNZJSZUPz
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38iMmxKFWQ
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3zoijZvNa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPiaJgFiz
「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……」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaY9y9RkTq
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm86bE59jxH
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HVA4lfZiX
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs20y8ksK67
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYKPmaz7a0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc1wlGNeZ4
「返去嘅理由…」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkczmw8UQd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKqk66rQ1K
「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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcaykRgAa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWnHnz2Cw
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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbAEjRiEp3
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEdRTmLNt4
「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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh0LgNP9nQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdANUPeOa8
我心中一沉。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo1R3iUflb
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZxFKNXz1W
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgAdNLhKRI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw8aqyTc0c
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G1V9TiVx3
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqDMzD90Sk
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhjPx5NKhz
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWIT8Y4X1S
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlddvTvx0J
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XfsvpDYyB
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9VWNoQFav
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDUMiQVc3
「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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83fAwD5l4
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEAaK2oOhC
「我始終想再睇多次。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IRXvWhLf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oZrnu8JDf
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7aFR6l9ts
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDdOy3ZOvX
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HZfcMUYpH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX8ZBHvcSI
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…？463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbXV4Pz0DB
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmjFewGKU
甚麼跟甚麼。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fof20ClWE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbTwkruezq
「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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb46FVADdRk
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP4VNxMiqM
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaCpCXtJU
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSmyWqw2m
「例如——」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3HbGv3XS8
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAGs4CkEk4
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kNUgpxbaE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSKWc9ueOT
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq15GqqDC2
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5h22LETOn
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFLPToRhAl
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gCI3b2vNo
「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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml32KFSKl1
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bdtp5QYdG
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78cfPSXbOG
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23jsOCzlq
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWcUh2iVA
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBUzGjZUba
「Hall 2B？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZYKyRD8Ua
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7u0LJSfEu
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」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUBo6Wpzuk
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZoyxIB6A
「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？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQAHKGBaFZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY1wq3VWiI
我點點頭：「嗯。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfeWFfdpm
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC72rHTIpqN
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaak4EftRaT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhY0EacyVG
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zqzgn0h3a
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjEHZEOTFR
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFab88r43
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FhVCoMt6u
「嘎——」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0tVw1hfwV
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCbQtfUJH
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！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhQmdfyEa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBumtcQvISR
「呢度……！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ZZtQ57wo
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mv3SEMZyN
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGUSM79R3m
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1EHIIvTdg
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……463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSP6AATKZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1bVJJlRt
「咦？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUn8B2cqCz
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0I6A2JW6
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqjpWpVPLd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGFClNd60u
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV5Ly9BruL
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewTHwEAC7x
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmOfBLYqn
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3fHAt2wMO
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M5B5bM6Pd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rmKUTq9Jm
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAnNfkm2jk
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMFd119OiZ
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7n5HKidMZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ye154CWK
「呢度係……」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLNj3QexI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvY4LWTT46
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33rBZ4gtt
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFrBnbLpZ
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKRgDxZN0n
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCXXvnuPtl
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。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCw4XzOok
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkoKiNvGqw
「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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyiLE00bkp
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbj3q7KgRP
「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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvZZ2mLyTy
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFos8jrj1RI
就在那瞬間，我看到了。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxhlT5mzz0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMVSP4xr0E
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！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAccnQK2IXo
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZx6e7OEz0
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJoxam2VCT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgsQEToHQ
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRELGTZBC51
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FFOZMB23p
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？463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbt29fXExx
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWh0bUSvTt
「我地行呢邊。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswmKvzPOLf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFh5RW02HO
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr0a6kZIf3
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPst6qzg9
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！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRivGB46Su
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgkW42TOrB
「嘎——」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXdLxqxU4z
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZondmlZVq
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！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PPreFAHsJ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBspsMw7kT
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqGRwOX8aZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwew63hfF
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyPfJYJDG
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiawJ2GFn2
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xH27NNYIP
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7IjMfntRN
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTswH9cwCHa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7BgLYFeOL
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZtSgsZ7VP
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilxajpCyvl
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo76eo15qrB
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOICGwuNoy
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHsMQICrOZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqxLZlGObs
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。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxid3lADzb
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuDs8Gy6eI
但唯有那一句不變。463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxtmi5TBkZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw5cQw1KN4
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oyAICEGOw
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVrdsLLaSM
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
