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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN80ASwGaAM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1qVamXNSA
「啲人呢……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6j1ZuD5At
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzjK6a6MY6
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwTwjBAmnQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4DLOWgNpt
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！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWZtg16Vvn
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNdcw9yFqy
「……係……度……啊……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb1tJVAwS1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTKgyL4sAS
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdGbhjL36f
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLHpoqGbA
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mz8Abk6l9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgGgVvBkh
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98NMdYilBF
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kcLCrcpS0
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB864YjPEoH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5SQXnXpMJ
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？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8n0h7aAjj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUUxv5BEu0
「喵～」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbaMdQ26Z8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqPnmpVIIf
「渺…渺渺？！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh51d2vlk7V
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYWnf1vp38
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49av4iTTKU
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydCwZvWKVI
「叮鈴…」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziYtvqkl7L
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxWstgg2VM
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？！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZne109ZkN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJ1ulvnJx
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nAuhYdpkN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oiMisREHM
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXlvzD9hi
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5win1B8aWQ
走廊盡頭有人！！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wr9x5P4I0
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVOVLWznuD
「……小姐！等陣！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWA7zePVDh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rf2g3GMqA
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！！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkKpcZTtj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnDI6m5tCP
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF45yiXXCV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJOQPf4Q5m
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600SHR7Gvv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXky3xpcJCk
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg3JdazLm8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwnJyHMemd
等等，那人是！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkKnsZ0qSl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA0QCtCEau
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MhmKJwoPv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWARKg7kG
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！！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDvtFXcxs1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRX0dIILPK
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9BjTL6X2v
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKpNoDB65I
「砰！！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJZmECpV1i
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpYQVqAPai
「哎呀！嗚…」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka9qrkIG4h
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUND0q6ty6x
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！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnBXKxplnk
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsfUd9kNnQ
「……我識得你？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3nQ9UKhiw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGO1IiESlH
咦？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGrx0OEWiz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRgYg1Nlu
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSJWrkImSk
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDqzAFGQI
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXrVuRBmX
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvJoROatT6
一看便知這是醫院。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANkuyBEH9a
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLM8fYk8uN
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKtymsFxsG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6xDb51AT
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5huPoEqrlA
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVe2kfwoIQ
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTGEyGWWQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qrgB2gmEu
「但係……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbWDRQOcIl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILTEpaVck
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMCIokuBsd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCnUiMjFkk
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4VkeYHK07
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Hv3OeDed
「我返去做野先。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVhBQCxOzv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCCnbcosw
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88uymozfku
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsQxfcO1i2
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？326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYyjJErw5f
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTf01zh0ia
但馬上我就看出端倪了。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8VEVMOiOO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd38OFbgBQ
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FaII7IsIC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jD1AXlABJ
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcBgyF3QnS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWxgZfD670
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhMczvzDz3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmeyGGdIt7
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5exNySH4U
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQieJna492H
［13座 西翼4/F］326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCwffsehuF
［安寧病房］
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTg04rIm0l
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33CaXt03FW
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2t8xO4UQO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvkgLiohnA
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrss0oUYo2G
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnlXdWc3z
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQBWDifyW9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjiSsogmp9
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpVbSjNp5Z
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMimt9lh9p
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r81foWdmN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQqG0HC1e4
「……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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqtvoA2uI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjy34APBKP
「明白。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrKtsvCzOO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrF0CKgPxD
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qHVXBB4ht
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBr2PQKjRd
好冰冷，她的表情。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAxn4vcok
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OrrgjYOR
好陌生，她的身影。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqkdnbwmAc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQnGrdNV7D
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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLBgnOfcXp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZjeIEACwg
「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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AVk3bthL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9VWzU4pI
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPc76O3vHr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpokDCTUW
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W4WroT9yr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMupkkxDrNb
「係。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPUCoKdiN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaCJIgctKe
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYup8iOB60u
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFYLfcorp3
「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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnReE6337jr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphFd8OLHHk
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCTfAzgeer
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamZ4yPMkwK
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbi4vopUUy
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMV4AEn6aD
「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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOdVd53GHl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOrU8lHIa
「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。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWBjzpiUZy
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjViNWvOntd
「咁原因係咩？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8UV3d8efC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZwBlYvGgw
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……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwLbdiwEw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UiMluRJzT
「喵！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBuVQFi87F
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jhvYAIwnT
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？！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrKoF9nvkS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIo0P8rE8k
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxMJGlUhKx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HMubbHxVo
「渺渺，等埋我！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSDgMLydNu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg65uNLTQIz
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL6vSfwUoo
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFPY3zHB4Y
「渺渺！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT20i5NTFz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtcclsojIB
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMn6tseXhy
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVqY9kYHmm
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1mqd5RPsl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgkRDFHhT
「喵哈？！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNbN52h25b
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp66NXp4kbZ
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGWptZ6fCY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwEd373MFY
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJGNW210A9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0qXdm9zzn
「叮……叮……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb4S1Drp4s
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC3oy6nsy1
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCEsu3xbD2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NNNi1KVgg
「…嗄…呼…」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjSRYmyh9T
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIvAviglL
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmCnWKZcEH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEawRbtvXJ
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmgKwJDjFv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwXZWMiaR
「叮……叮……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunAO4zJaI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqtWnCLbxS
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF4vo7yLVq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNrzWrypHl
找到了！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0U1GwTvnI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNerCgEiTT
「喵！」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikHZ11w7yM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsQ5S9S0fV
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！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9q76SV9za
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZTwjHOui
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUEz2Uwdf5
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQCB7AtAQM
回來……回來了！326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgvCkDBtxr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdu0dcvaex
「呼…呼…」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfh0Et88iS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57t9ccWB6p
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4kJdrk9WI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcohKiFO7
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LDEhvltYw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjte5IGLNq
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。326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu7Rfin3eN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyQrRMzLIP
「你係……」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXwjhNQsH3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80D62d9wMz
「熟人。」326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd40HZ1vVZh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXW04B6mZ
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。
