愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fN2EYd2Wl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvUASwOiO
但準確來說，是前攝影師。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRVKz1nYmN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnrUiFnWat
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie364l7tJg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5C6kNfwSx
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57QEoNqjy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxjY9k6eL
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUmNBg5jP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSzWhfPMQz
「好靚係唔係？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQIQhqIiUr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUgn8oqAb0
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NgLOSFy7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Ttwiea88
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ggVeuErL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJeouhHg7H
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62kBLK9eEU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oq4AFiIT3
「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……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSVRJTRrEc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcX7sqQiuF
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsA1KGtbk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N02ABCKXJ
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOtcbVwBXk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6exyRwavk
「返去嘅理由…」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjfJWvaeom
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEziD9U2jkX
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSwou6Phfl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyTYn4Vvwm
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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6R548RnGQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLaSN6q86F
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCH65leMP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cWadZ55Ux
我心中一沉。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMmTUXghiC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwzvWgUbD7
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGujhXwlYyj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwYebgPKg
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YFWU6z3sO
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMjcs9Ou3Q
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tXlMUzkLk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyQ5zeJtOu
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcqfG9VX4O
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtd2O8L9xb
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5dPc3K7xJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMPjTn3Fk9
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hUPTuo4NS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA8e3ZQUhe
「我始終想再睇多次。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3NmufNOmm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQqZmU8123
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGvLPpHRhv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGpfLMmai1
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfCKTRmnut
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeTsnYT04k
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…？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyedd4Cving
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA7dPqdIhA
甚麼跟甚麼。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fm7Rs3sGp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYPTu2J9DC
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1r05UkC4d
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumGc1qbUcg
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2wYOZzIa
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCugkFIYm6
「例如——」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpZSQTMWgf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8XOKSNQ3r
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgQ2WkRR2n
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs5GsnVYDf
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Kz0fWT71
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMqM3hvEJQ
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1HX97eccS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWaGVit0Sm
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uESbJqOpN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ykjO0fLs
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjHG1fnZgs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSq0sPSXlf
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVGnGMXlD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpzWJoWnR
「Hall 2B？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYddI5JcV6a
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbYQYuDiQP
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」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2E5TKeBlv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QMjlqolA
「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？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvtV9llsV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy5yqs1utv
我點點頭：「嗯。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9AuD6ZzXM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFuJAS9ruK
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJxtwGWfr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkXbR3sn4g
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtTz6RTeRK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQePjmztQ35
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZoFuaa1xB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IVsYx3Ldy
「嘎——」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi78YT0rClQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNbhdSIwHr
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！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmbXuaolh9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iyAa2CIEh
「呢度……！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8S7TfaYaj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5qM9Vbe6
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCM7KjpUfD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCVv9bKhE0
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……440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAYhilH8E
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFW3Yx9av7
「咦？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmzTNmjKm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYfT6ZNRaN
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5BmlV4LYt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jeeIeaRab
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Q2kDab6Y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgqJL6nmIr
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJaltWY1dj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecGRw7lTrZ
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEU4C8Mm7D
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcc78AmEoM
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLOtrl5sfX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeVEgJ3Sr
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7DlCyKJM9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bAaPc6U2y
「呢度係……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3J3TPFxzo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMLRluX8Fx
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mcDjsAeMJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUymPH5ncL
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNdW3fClhP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylRv2nDVic
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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt81eHpzpYw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcHZffYrZj
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMoJQEsK8
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXqhZU00h
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktez4rMCR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1nh3PVUBL
就在那瞬間，我看到了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP0Xts5K5q
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93wAYm6xul
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！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmvfkjLkvM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBrx1Ybt4G
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWzOHlU5Vm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRgFD7O3WW
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq2Z6WGEOD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKg2jWfgQQ
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？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEkAas4a6Z
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU93uetcqmR
「我地行呢邊。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgK9DNt7xg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALir4yNUer
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGTM2VyCBP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIiB6d39dt
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！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbywKVJtNsF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DoXnScLnL
「嘎——」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5VZTpBtjh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hA07I7SL
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！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIzNXHj66a
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SjkOzyLk3
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKWuKB9ylo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xnIBW3Pyu
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vuWq3u8YJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeswxV4bniv
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3qCw7MYHc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J7IvXEOSx
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7U26OIOxz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGkwYU2mWC
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IrFpTJweS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO63Ed0RPj9
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IMrwZqqDe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO0VhkENKl
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KiNhZ6Coz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9MzJ9h0Ci
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwHQWStqP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajZ7eA0Wc
但唯有那一句不變。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMKfxIOfhy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdZLSvyVvr
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhEO80Ns4r
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLumKwd9XQY
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
