「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf1qRgUczB
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8GANTY8vt
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK7H2K9O8V
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPHdyJqp9B
「這裡不好嗎？鳥語花香，豪華大宅、美酒佳餚。還有，我和小思都在這裡！」她輕輕招手，招來小思——我們的愛女。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3aPmWkeut
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OVhPStjZ
年僅五歲的小思胖胖白白，兩眼水汪汪，腦後頂著兩彎稀疏的小辮子。她鼓起兩頰紅透的小腮子，模仿媽媽的動作，摟抱著我的小腿。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0JhmLsCGy
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73OEYMzEm
她們的每一句話、每一個動作都正中我的軟肋，硬生生將我的理智和情感撕裂。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0dFgw1LT
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjTvV5cRhR
沒法子。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOh3gp0lV
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgScQYdBUO1
她們的外形來自我的記憶，言行源於我的心念，再加上高端科技營造出來的聲音、氣味、觸感，二人活脫脫就在我眼前、我懷中！566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwLeu15yc
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHsnZdv9Jv
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zum0sxjDH
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1HYIKLSnB
暗黑的狹窄環境與虛擬世界內的柔和日光形成強烈對比，我的腦袋和眼睛霎時間適應不來，暈頭轉向，整個人從床上滾掉到地面去。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoszv9R3Ct

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ464UCsjKS
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3kggDlqHI
「先生，事前我向你解釋過流程，你應該知道強行脫下頭盔的後果可大可小。輕則昏迷數天，重則永久癱瘓神經系統，變成植物人。」大叔外表粗豪，說起話來卻是婆婆媽媽的。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJIOw46bvM
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyuSJzsqyH
我硬撐起身子，背靠床架癱坐著，勉定心神，穩住呼吸節奏後，不忘向大叔道歉：「不好意思，嚇壞了你。」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BxG4frAG2
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtwDxvlEbQ
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnTuzwRLxF
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskNQ893s5X
「如果機器因為我的行為而損壞，我會賠償。」我是個負責任的男人，無論對人對事皆然。我為此自豪。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Qmtv7HrQ
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi7bcb21AL
「不是這個意思……」大叔終於反應過來，上前攙扶我到休息室去。他拿來熱毛巾，敷在我的前額。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p1NKJGYkz
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIYcn0MnCv
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUtA9Q5fN
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHGEDQv0Cj
「忍耐一會吧。」大叔自顧自在我身邊吞雲吐霧：「誰叫你不依規矩！」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX8kzv7zXa
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGUfNI0YKS
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHVAQ61U2X
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CRcxTUK2V
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76mEfElou
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeZ0h77K5v
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwJoXjCuwy
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrShKCLlgD
「顧客願意花大錢前來光顧我店，大都是因為抵不住親人離世的傷痛。」大叔意味深長地補上一句：「你不是唯一一個。」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9l2zQoj8Z
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlXjmfyJ0j
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vJUA5zFIj
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC54JhroLiC
「所以你有能力捱過去——因為大家都捱過去了。」大叔輕視我的悲傷？566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77b0UKBmkd
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Jm6F0EYM
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3waPd6F6
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBlSrNF3eh
「我知道。他們花掉大量金錢懷緬過去，直至身無分文才如夢初醒，不得不重投生活、找工作賺錢，然後漸漸忘記傷痛。只有你，有本事打斷自己的思念之情，爽快俐落地回歸生活——你剛才主動向我道歉，而不是恃著自己的悲傷鬱結鬧脾氣。」大叔遞菸予我。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66VIwYnx7L
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZlz9Gp9V
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfA7UkE9BO
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf4TrxeFtP
菸紙的雪白、菸紙的粗糙質地、菸草的濃烈氣味、菸草被手指擠壓時的微弱碎裂聲響、濾嘴被叼在唇間時散發的淡淡化學味道，一切真實而空虛，沒有靈魂。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAp91lEi7s
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma3Y8qmSZc
像虛擬世界。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcS2US8h2R
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatny81ko36
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfigKutWqA
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcNTBXoREg
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ZDY5DY43
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUki9gGMKdR
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKopQuXBh
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKYQKuuDO0
店外，夜色蒼茫。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W2fggwWsq
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaqd5Ui6zT
我回望店面的霓虹招牌——紫白藍綠四色甚有節奏地閃爍著，耀眼奪目。566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNxVG2mAn
566Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONMfs0KAj5
但只消放寬眼界，就會發現它只是萬千燈火裡的其一，毫不起眼。
