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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMjQF21BjX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GcHbMcKK
「啲人呢……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiRzS4vdgl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGep7l8Kp1
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwIp889VmM
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpStqzBOx7
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！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDtkid4jXp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75RXYcyjsI
「……係……度……啊……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsuaY8CPzf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pWSbDdtuB
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNQYWLk5HI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fc67auUb4
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpgpAp5xg2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB5HnNDlNY
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcHZieWSyB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qJRMD39wp
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxQA8DPzcH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBljrv37ED
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？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi74YGUMDi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjaPCJFFkk
「喵～」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky1e0ajUfe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bD55ve2LW
「渺…渺渺？！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEygKePr0R6
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Pet3fyzf
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GWKQa1PIl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXlw0lczf
「叮鈴…」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsL94JaaAW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0wHNPCLlV
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？！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyutV26iYf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZJ2XifkM
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL2AZjX9FH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDkOtE8XmX
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYi8NiJKDk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Bhbxo5tI
走廊盡頭有人！！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY0zOAVLM3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpaspumxQe
「……小姐！等陣！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKfXMayJU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJY6vmnSPg
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！！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gXB40VNH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp3qCNGyFZ
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gF96wbFjK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUcq2IZj5D
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlPoLaCfm1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEooFsidhd6
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwTEFq3y1b
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZK4eLukYK
等等，那人是！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG08GmFLKTW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuPIvJBgIY
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYtSFlh1Z8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yZhkuWQc
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！！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXh60iczk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgK7CNrS5
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBRGILOsJs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bM4XlUBUT
「砰！！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUwSLd4y05
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO88R8njLQ
「哎呀！嗚…」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDiCadDJv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZRHh4gsYM
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！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDldLeYy7DC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflslGFMe2M
「……我識得你？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxg9sF2fM5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2nWYns8Hj
咦？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48JJFA03ne
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FrCuvNWwJ
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKwV1qVbe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzi7zbsquX
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFnypEuFm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYcYUVaAEb
一看便知這是醫院。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlT9U5DRQn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOyJWv1PQR
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdaBEF4xBY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EAwXdxSJc
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ9ZyV0bVN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPIEucYyjt
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVLQcYhGpp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpvKr1kJq4
「但係……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdKvCSUzJK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowWCgzebF
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwCSCPHai3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNjWDC38k8
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN8afR41NO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTP5hvIiw2
「我返去做野先。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWEYgNG0tC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTxNuh2Fgn
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnaieArgW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MhMjl4x7d
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？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEOoCP0d5b
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxakCqvAUSQ
但馬上我就看出端倪了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAr1AIeAmK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡankdJVF2r3
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdtkQgmzRh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63CnUjxLq
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1V1nvhRhp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaP9NiE4ld
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUFwfxft47
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9keGqsPat
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgcCd1brQk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9FPpBu2zO
［13座 西翼4/F］354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1LnWWDmKW
［安寧病房］
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZIxiOVAp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7HkBwVvfb
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVNit2ihtk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXj0Ails5
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrQtjcioa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Zn8dtNjd
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ogV1uGyP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9En9becRe
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSzTaMdJW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZEu1zV6PK
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDtLzblMBA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnBViHTtDB
「……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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iRlv4zHbD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQLMiWNIPb
「明白。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuycYMOFkLA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQPJ29wDs7
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uUe7wvg02
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYwsURFSUy
好冰冷，她的表情。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqhc6pIgm0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgooSLcvp3G
好陌生，她的身影。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF9KYSOZRo
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkON1zIsB2y
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6yc70KIg
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSClzguQoXM
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW2iGSTOhY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOJe9VKFek
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjHQcyefZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw1bKVz0Ch
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WiTiGx8or
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2HFvdIqPd
「係。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH7O2GTXsB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIeSgaCuzD
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqGT8Dwhl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZnQoAlscM
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTa2ryTaHI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfno8mUcQmX
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2VLUbMvLd
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi04ZFuuVY
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWEO2xXGE2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2C3GZJcT
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmihBKxDBz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6gRJCwKg
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmdF3jftG9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWqPoIqgx9
「咁原因係咩？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooWAhdRJrX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqHGqeKh2
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……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYfE15yF0M
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpgZHcZtwg
「喵！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRLH4zyWrr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUSGn1YstN
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？！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgOJ0lCObY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IF8hwwsU4
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFqmvQEqu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMqqv2xJuF
「渺渺，等埋我！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyW8rjdTGI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWlqilODkf
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJG5sTJOBJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7kJt2Isnt
「渺渺！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgenTE5zt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVTwxdZ4P
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAufMojYHB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8qSisgrtR
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfI6J3t4fI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bWTK7INNX
「喵哈？！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjHchxd7is
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7bpxgdLiO
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKRlGQGTmH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3UVNWddv0
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZ9kdjpeU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qc6n0FdXO
「叮……叮……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO97llth2T
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQKjCg1HE
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wd60BODe7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6scokgrmm
「…嗄…呼…」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVZal9Z3S
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16tvHd2SV
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7bHQc8rAw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0RPnkoeLW
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvThZcB9G0w
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MwBxt6Qt
「叮……叮……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DBukXpQHY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepK2pRmlhq
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWdubD61g8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhA9f5jmK2
找到了！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DYfCih6TY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaXn7wU29Y
「喵！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0jhTsbTjr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6oL0v4QlL
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！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZXV0aMqWy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnioPiYnTcU
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXPhKFyCIR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosNezvOROi
回來……回來了！354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAzbe36sed
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDcLZvdOue
「呼…呼…」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwV0vEtgPu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT74GirJ9MW
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPMmiYEZRj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMGkXJGCWf
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t7KiBGFUl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WunKcTK31
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUppa8Pw21
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIGUojVi1
「你係……」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1c0HFvZu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnU2Vwn31l
「熟人。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwn1zhhdxk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VxQtKLOsJ
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。
