把手吹乾後我推門而出，才沒走出幾步就發現這兒只有一片死寂，耳邊甚至因太安靜而微微耳鳴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT8QxigHuN

「啲人呢……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlV52YChWo
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO6zSvgFEZ
穿過那扇門不出所料地回到宴會廳，那兒只剩下空空如也的舞台。晚宴的圓桌上只有吃剩的食物，它們還是暖的，牛扒被割出的一小塊上有叉子插著，紅酒從杯邊滑下明顯是剛剛被喝完放到案上，一切一切如同人們在吃食途中突然憑空蒸發般。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANgSxQkdbB
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZan7BjrvVq
全身起了雞皮疙瘩的我轉身跑出：「喂！！有無人啊！！有無人係度啊！！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3t0uHlpw
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTu051Hq89
「……係……度……啊……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJhnWMnfY
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjZrbBGlCQ
除了我自己的迴音外只有一片寂寥，逢門就開，見門就讚的我始終只是普通地穿過門框，門後卻沒有阡迴旅館！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkYDayctzt
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgQULV3ubc
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9EmB9S0C
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPByyuzuZl
這時只是用來展示不同平行宇宙可能性的空間，阡迴旅館沒有時光機的功能，我們並非真正到達了未來，所以在「展示」結束後，這空間也開始消滅了嗎？！等等我還在這兒啊！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9TG3MhnGn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK8uXhky8W
我把臉貼到玻璃窗上望向酒店外，外頭只是一片漆黑，連地面也不存在！整座酒店就如懸浮在虛空之中，我也連忙把從酒店內逃出去的念頭打消！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb4HpPeZtO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH06tBNL0d
現在怎麼辦，現在怎麼辦，我要永遠地困在這異空間之中了嗎？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5DwDyeMsi

「喵～」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJIT9LBMN

「渺…渺渺？！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq52pz27gX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHo1mmlZqt
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFzuI9uSiS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NpuAP5P3
「叮鈴…」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpxa3EajCv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXXhkW2H75
風鈴聲！真的是渺渺？還是鈴兒發現我還沒回去所以折返救我了？！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e40BZH9iH
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdohLfAEv0
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4z75P2CT7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptjFNT4tFz
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD55HKS9rZ3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKVQ6tbnfW
走廊盡頭有人！！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMqEdsJGAS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPPAjuPEpb
「……小姐！等陣！！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6i5xHC4Nv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bDCr4JAc4
那個「女生」對我的叫喚充耳不聞，繼續向走廊深處步去，不行，這兒就只有那個女生在了，不能放她走！！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0pXHIEDs
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDg0Fli11Q
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWVpKTEMna
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFhiKJElh
更可怕的事發生了，隨著我追向那女生，我身後的酒店竟然開始淡出！牆壁地板燈光漸漸沉沒於虛空之中，視野中的景深突然變長，走廊深似無盡，身後的昏暗正洶湧而至！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmVrPMTufv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEyHpHUTgO
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguA01kZ5wr
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zCXEJh6T
等等，那人是！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFUlAcJO95
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNHHYApPBi
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaWh4uC0Ek
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi86Ea6TS0
追……追不上！我和鈴兒之間的走廊不斷伸延，她就在視野之中，但我卻永遠追不上她！！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV63uZR3T7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIQ7PvU9lN
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAstZI0XR8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl2qeP3rSb

「哎呀！嗚…」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqrUOLYmat
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSeuNrqz3S
收制不及的我狠狠地撞到關上的門板，狼狽不堪的我連忙推開門：「鈴兒！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85E52i1Osb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVglhr0VSR
「……我識得你？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4hkzaKiuB
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfKHwL0JM8
咦？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tpn7xCvy0
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmss1voZ3x2
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVHtkgkLA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxb86VUmYP
氣喘如牛的我站直身，發現自己正身處於一條走廊之中，米白色的牆壁，灰色膠地板，還有分隔病床和走廊的玻璃窗。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdSQHSde9O
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vabSNPe81
一看便知這是醫院。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81VcmFKdum
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAW966OnF2
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RrjsxK9h1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ozkfPUvEr
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPayK2fv8X
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubo5aGv1fX
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1gxjwJ5mq
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRw9aX3Uu8
「但係……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwipnH7ur
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYFkK02ZMY
她眼中沒有一絲光彩，沒有一絲生氣，只看她的雙瞳如在凝視深淵，甚至不知她是死是活。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFfQ4WEncH
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTiqBCmfU8
我剛剛撞在門上的側臉和鼻翼還隱隱作痛，如果是真正的鈴兒理應至少會關心我有否受傷之類。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fXvOeYnlg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5m38FjYC2
「我返去做野先。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozsJzH9ajm
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZh7HKdj0
鈴兒眼中只有冷如冰霜的鄙視，那陌生的冰冷表情使我不寒而慄，但其胸前的名牌是寫著「夏鈴兒」沒錯。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Skm9bZECp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ80vW4tkj
看著遠去的她，我完全摸不著頭腦，她突然怎麼像變了一個人似的還不記得我了？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywLzZxpUnt
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUTQeC0Ewm
但馬上我就看出端倪了。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbrH1xWez
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hE3oWWsl
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D5DsloRfB
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWtIGtSoK
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqKfopvtC4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxp5AK1Oqj
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wkwRO01pw
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMQGwHdX1X
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ2IvpWZc3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwowOd9qYrX
［13座 西翼4/F］270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRihLe2N9
［安寧病房］
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4g8f07yhC
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYWTRLH0Zm
走廊外的門牌上如此寫著，加上鈴兒的打扮和名牌，她是安寧病房的護士。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlrWtSbsos
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKkDnoIP41
才一想起剛剛她那神情，那恍如宣告對一切都不感興趣的冷漠表情，除了陌生外我更感到胸口一陣悸動和沉重，如被重物壓住般沒法喘息。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzjYNXjMqY
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUFWFJuBMr
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFmZDTDNJQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3WDXXyh6v
安寧病房中的病人都是到了無藥可治的地步，入住這兒非為了治療，而是透過醫療手段減輕離世前痛苦，使其人生最後的時光不用滿身被喉管插著，能保有最後的尊嚴，而且盡可能無痛地渡過於常世中最後的彌留。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShzaIOpGwS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRiAIFBYQ
鈴兒走到走廊盡頭進入一間房中，身在平行宇宙的我如隱形人，只要不動聲色就會自動被無視，即使好像剛剛那樣和鈴兒說話她也會馬上忘掉，所以我也這樣大刺刺地跟上。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaITl7sSZi
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcjejt27s8
「……預計佢撐唔過今晚，通知佢屋企人嚟見最後一面做好心理準備。」這房間似乎是個迷你的會議室，當中一名像是護士長般的人平靜地說著。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiThKYRstZC
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdvxpJGmkE
「明白。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqBoTn9Nt7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iPgCx5lfM
鈴兒的回答沒有一絲起伏，連悲慟都沒有，在這死亡每日上演的安寧病房之中她是如此習以為常。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0T8nrwrIn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhIN3jyns
好冰冷，她的表情。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkwDRuMM8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3sKS54lgn
好陌生，她的身影。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SKZlPTi5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GK4Q3fPwq
鈴兒在自己的筆記簿上一邊寫字一邊說：「我會通知工友Standby，盡快清好張床俾新病人。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafHWJuRkre
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDU7YQnsl1
「嗯，至於其他有離世風險病人嘅名同床號已經係你地手上，要多加注意。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqbHpk1nqk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX1zDWnp5g
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bai3EzmbO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivVdXsXwli
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0AxmFLGIh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ld87BViZW
「係。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIHWBXMZ6u
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebk9TNDM89
其他護士點點頭轉身離去，還順手關上門，我當然站在那兒繼續聽。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pUPm2f58c
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ3fkxQIXc
「聽日嚟嘅新病人會訓佢張床，夏姑娘，我希望你可以負責佢嘅入院手續。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8sTn5TOZp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHee3xU5FdW
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqewnK4vu8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyLsbJUPr2
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgVxt3M27s
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYpVxmy30G
「我認為自己無需要知道，如果我有需要知道，護士長早就俾咗資料我。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt3ovJZIH9
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh8cT2184c
「當然，但理由我希望自己親口講你知，你會主力負責佢，其他姑娘如非必要同緊急都唔會同佢有咩溝通。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6UFfwlmEF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJxJYABFJP
「咁原因係咩？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSi3spHfSL
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvuwkKpfwM
護士長拿出一份文件：「你之前有無睇新聞？嗯，身為護士嘅你雖然只係負責安寧病房……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfylD6TUggz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy6PbsAtQ1
「喵！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qb7T1IrUA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQwCZ1mGff
突然間我腳邊傳來一陣毛茸茸的感覺，我連忙低頭一看：「渺渺？！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtYYIw5igH
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQei8GdJTkC
米色的毛球不知從哪兒鑽出，在我雙腳之間以尾巴蹭磨，然後推開虛掩的門從縫隙溜了出去！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDfz1mCJDQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcRC6SxISI
「渺渺，等埋我！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjETlWpT8T
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbROTZLpMR
是來接我嗎？正如那時候我迷途至阡迴旅館時，也是渺渺在引路，牠知道回去的路！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofVNA0tjb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohgaAY36SG
「渺渺！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmg16DyCWg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWHnd37JWx
難得看到回去的希望，雖然很在意鈴兒的過去但是待會兒問她就好了，怎可能放渺渺跑掉！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCajUTrunI
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPy2peToAa
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLM42vkxb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv3yxc4rmN
「喵哈？！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQfrYSN3Rg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm0hKC68Id
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis0VtwLPm4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt24DgsZaL
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyVWTl4Xy4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL0HeABNDJ
「叮……叮……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKazajW2up
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukEKvWaDo
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HR20sEUto
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FjFrTW8L3
「…嗄…呼…」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5WPPGyiDz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadcDWRmVyZ
深呼吸，閉上眼，我如鈴兒那樣以心傾聽，聞聲辨位，試圖找出風鈴聲的來源。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5GhNgPQya
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMH2i5pXNW
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2s5aAWDvH
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z3JyD9fBr
「叮……叮……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX86PFC8JjO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uk4OzaIk1
鈴聲相當悅耳，閉眼靜心傾聽能使人想起盛夏之中，青天白雲之下，屋簷邊陲的琉璃風鈴迎著夏風輕輕搖曳奏鳴。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa345cHX0Wn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpeDxvFr3x
找到了！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5QnxXAQo3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo26B9a1Ic
「喵！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5nHOFD3dI
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6f3KS3Dc
渺渺幾個躍動從地板跳到我小腿，爬過背脊然後騎在我肩上，我信步隨著風鈴聲傳來的方向推開一扇門！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDpz87hVMl
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCBk8l5ljk
光芒將我淹沒，待其褪去後我看到自己正身在古色古香的阡迴旅館之中。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lmtWwqOi
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6T2HvziEf
回來……回來了！270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLq0EHWEl3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I0pvIm1yH
「呼…呼…」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i3ZFx175y
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJYc0c4dgh
定眼看四周，我卻發現自己正身在阡迴旅館的頂樓。為甚麼我這樣肯定？因為在我身旁的天井可以看到最高處的天花板，木樑木柱在天花板四周交織出木塔的巨大屋頂，而這層沒有任何房間或門，就只有半開放的戶外空間。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GDp5nbs8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP77UyPnYi
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCNTU7HPIo
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHI15Rh6he
與木欄柵相對著的是一個小露台，露台朝西迎向夕陽，那兒鋪著榻榻米，放著一張矮桌和座墊，一個沒有見過的男人坐在那兒，身穿白袍背對著我，一些茶具齊整地放在深木色的矮桌上冒著芬芳的蒸氣。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiVqglYHn5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl9vsgg6f1
「你係……」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYKNXg4GEq
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNTiIEwNJD
「熟人。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSbpIKA49
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZzhS02Vll
本來迎著夕陽的男人回首向我微笑，即使他戴著眼鏡也看得出他滿臉倦容，但一對上眼我卻感到心頭一陣猛跳，好像看到久違的老朋友一樣，盡管我不認識眼前的男人。
