「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrQ7wWjyOX
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7Sh186EU
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtlJrjDyFh
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMZKYqMuOE
「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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3kaHjgRcC
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdQw3GzV5
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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxEimwk4mU
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg1v0tvC6k
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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb314kOYtaF
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ0QXnQJrG
沒法子。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzbcoqWhdh
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQlNZvFYBD
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！646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko9o8jzyNd
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ1Z5ViGGr
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFgoGIXqFo
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIqTPxTVi0
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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDngruW6zRp

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDTPeUet7L
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalgaaDFyUA
「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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9myvy5Zsz
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6mGRk5uv
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。」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQrFigM8b
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDw299xL2T
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbBGv2L8BI
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPakqUZM4XM
「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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVcN366bMF
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0PU4koYwd
「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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylFZtaYewj
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ftjkcNkw
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yYWvAZG0
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrR8sP7Jt2
「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！」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZowa5spSFY
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa3TxRmV8q
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnocJpaqTdB
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0psN4ZQ2O
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNDdnULpbn
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjoxfqIFf3
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUeOZloYY1
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25dHPSQqQ
「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。」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKal51rKwO
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwR1Yb3tx
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvQGxb6Ogg
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNDcolyi38
「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？646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWyENcTim1
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZGZatpmJF
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKqHSsZfjG
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWZ2SDxHkq
「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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrkq1fDe2n
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JwddUXnzp
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8AT2uo8tK
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF2AvSKGHm
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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CsO7S8HPR
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhaT9PReSF
像虛擬世界。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC09eY0SJIX
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPinUxwpGGz
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAL63b72QC
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uueY0Yq7Z
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3mWUIi1nM
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRg0D7AOJb
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NQBdtytkm
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiTMOifyoP
店外，夜色蒼茫。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsz1qZyXpF
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GHQE1xiVj
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。646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vvfgnaMpB
646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmkB2TXIIm
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。
