「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nNavQMz4q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQwgnMUVV
「嗯……我估可能係你誤入我過去後再跌落平行宇宙嘅支流……」鈴兒道，「但阿柏，我之前講嘅職員無處可歸係認真，你已經…返唔到去現世，你明唔明？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTIPPcDsx7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LAIlcQhrw
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggMRPxMxOu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCZAaCPWg
明明她說找到回去的地方，動機，方法，就能脫離阡迴旅館回到常世。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXwGcoFUa
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTxRbeNQ6
「我講清楚啲：只要有齊返去嘅動機，地方，方法就可以重返現世，呢個規則只適用於住客。被阡迴旅館選中成為職員，其中一個條件好簡單，就係被挑選嘅人，佢返去嘅地方就係呢度，唔係常世，而係阡迴旅館。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv2HtAZR1i
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsFR8Hm7Po
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdm35xA2oK
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ715kuRXyP3
卻使我心頭一震！417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7w52PgoRG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NAQYo738
「身在阡迴旅館，但歸宿只得返阡迴旅館，因即為果，果即是因，成為職員就係咁嘅意思。受到阡迴旅館接納嘅我地可以查閱記錄簿，操作時間流，打開阡迴之門，召來解鈴之人，但亦代表住永遠被困係呢度。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycgHdCCtI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU838Vb4sZb
甚麼解鈴之人。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9zT3qBiMs
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRfZL3MYZb
「點……點會，我唔信！鈴兒，你講到咁，你擺明現世都有想返去嘅地方，你點可能歸宿只得返阡迴旅館？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYNd2SYmfW
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfJ5PXQIK
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzcbALWAuM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNJ5rOvY2o
「我無。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNEbo2LhRs
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYwy2ZVyd7
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcNouozFpi
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUDCCPRODo
「鈴兒……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhLkfmeo7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzEM5ZYfLE
「我嘅事，遲下再同你講，反正我講唔講你都會去偷睇架啦。」鈴兒別過去整理情緒，「至於成為職員主要工作，我依加教你。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRhSfDkOgq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMOu8pRE1T
「你真係無事？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d4zvzsnRS
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinbC6A4kyw
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7iC9eszY
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmTmYvASLY
不會因時間過去而疲憊意味著鈴兒可以無止境地疲勞轟炸。當有人進入阡迴旅館這異世時，我們就會聽到風鈴聲在遠方低鳴。接著只要查看紀錄簿，上面就會浮現新住客的名字。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQANHa5cAo
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AbhciR3PE
有時候她們會在阡迴旅館外徬徨地徘徊不敢開門，即使無論怎樣走也會繞回這兒，她們都不敢推門而進，這時候我們便要出去迎接。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYMip7oluB
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Igt2hEw6G
「明……明白。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4t0zXd794
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm5hMabFpX
雖說這兒沒有時間流逝，但我已經聽到頭昏腦漲了，鈴兒一股腦兒地在說著阡迴旅館的法則和我們身為職員的職責，原來很多東西都是靠我們用時間回溯來收拾和補充物資，特別是引導住客回去常世那部分她竟然還準備了筆記！417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJCS3Q8Ion
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4C68XrfQ
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQvR8wcn4a
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn4eCeH4jj
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOWNhczCJ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdYU37gLY4
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KO0pbh29Y
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvzK2w9cc1
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcrKjLStuF
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8egWwsd3p
「但你等陣返房後，要自己好好練習時間流操作。」鈴兒掏出一個精緻的沙漏說。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOHjMGzA6H
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QbC6X52Gk
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpGt1o7gM6
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHksWbfLyf
「你真係……」鈴兒沒好氣地說，「睇住，沙粒正常係咁樣流落嚟，但我可以令沙漏嘅沙一粒粒咁樣落下，即係操作精度去到毫秒級。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLXg4yX9G
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ba5HIDuIo
沙漏即使被翻轉，中間的玻璃細頸中亦只有一粒接一粒的沙落下，沙漏的時間正被鈴兒緩速。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24KomYbCWU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjJM7m2hnV
「你嚟試下？集中精神，想像住將沙漏嘅時間放慢，好似睇戲嘅慢動作就得。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS155d2xY0V
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRPcE44D5x
「好。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLdBkGr0XA
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNqCzhMHJr
沙漏中的沙被停下。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2deomfE3B
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioCYMeRk6
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwX0UuiKyR
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XIFeeeEr8
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ZC1Jfe3y
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoWJJw6YLX
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmixItgjRe
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtEPO1KxTL
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasPwPnTiEQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6gMFxPlBJ
「呃……呃……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kzqmNv0R
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyXbHPeU8d
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8SNeEv6kU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntTEwuudzi
我集中精神死命地瞪著沙漏，但要不就是沙流完全被停下，要不就是一縷縷沙落下又停，落下又停，我沒法像鈴兒那樣精準地控制時間緩速到一粒粒沙落下。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Yz08iXHX
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwL27axIys
「有排你練習，嘿嘿。」她輕拍我肩膊說，「今日就到呢度為止喇，我都知你見攰。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZiJGyOYXu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPt8e3Yuxv
「……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1G8pqMd4A
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLhZ4c3Tx
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl8ryAJFq1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQQBIbwAfM
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ED7X7WuwW
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCIiln1Th
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlL8OZ10XA
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqi53wQRY
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa4z19hmtP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAI69COhFM
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenJXfoqdDl
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9sGZJ0BHq
假如鈴兒是錯的。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxwkXgvwOc
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxtjtHRwEd
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4WAyn6nEI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmkqQnygp
「……你咩意思？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZIyOA4kk
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnmPD3bcve
我雙手一攤說：「鈴兒，你係呢度嘅唯一職員，呢個設定……或者話呢個結論係邊個同你講？係有員工手冊之類？我就覺得無，因為如果有你一定已經俾咗我睇。咁樣呢個解釋係邊個提出？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1esRoNs6J
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SiJdMKmG
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlc6meHe8
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2Vpxh8wu
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dK4sWz14Q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyCsKGmamd
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha1LQsG81H
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw9yBHOYKE
「阡迴之門？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYUDk2xSr
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1olTz2TmqO
「跟我嚟。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGHIBKqMmB
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bvhTardKe
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGmuVSm7at
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniHGKwX0sZ
「阡迴之門你知係點運作啦？但係當我諗住去睇自己嘅未來時。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQI2J2S0y
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlXgNvGb84
「叮…叮……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX905QXBn7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW3EevteAf
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm98x3dJGK6
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfaY3SUAdu
「就會咁。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDzC3KrTW4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWO6Etiqz
鈴兒打開阡迴之門，門後是一個巨大的天井，我們正在圍繞天井的空中迴廊之上。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7PX0ZUeIl
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTXlAy3jH
「係阡迴旅館？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSIb3dPGR
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU9BFNFZfY
「無錯，唔係平行宇宙，唔係過去，邊度都唔係，每次我打開阡迴之門想睇自己未來時，都只會返返嚟阡迴旅館。」鈴兒說，「即係話，並唔存在我返回常世嘅未來。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERr0GZdqUe
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yGGjtAxrq
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSm0tTSW0B
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlK3BbfMOo
比方說，在千億萬個平行宇宙之中，有我當上美國總統的未來嗎？沒有的，無論我怎樣選擇，命運如何變化，決不可能出現我成為美國總統的未來。未來是有限的，就如我有生之年都不會登上火星，就如我有生之年都不會成為總統。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2NjvGJGWL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpK4XLUZlW
而且這是未來，是基於現實而成立；而現實，是基於過去而成立，具體來說例如我死去的父母，人死不能復生，無論怎樣選擇，我父母也決不可能復活，所以阡迴之門亦沒法通向我父母在世的未來。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQUVXKEQB
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk7KY7AGzN
如是者，由鈴兒為自己打開阡迴之門的話，就只會通回阡迴旅館內某個隨機位置。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7jjmOfhVD
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqvwXf9Cmd
沒有回去常世的未來。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVstC0qGG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviz3idOMtF
「唔好理道門！」我生氣地摔上打開的阡迴之門，「鈴兒，你有無地方想返去？！你有無未完成嘅夢想或者目標？！唔好理道門，問你自己個心就得！」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2HjxoyC1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFDm2tAZ1F
本來以為我自己突破了鈴兒被阡迴之門宣告沒有未來的困境。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwbwoOCwhW
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUdkw7teXL
本來我以為會得出「即使阡迴之門沒有通向任何地方，但鈴兒心中還有歸去之地」的結論。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi9v5RUlRS
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PMxnotY13
可是，卻——417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6LL0Uw6KL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54V94iJarg
「無。」鈴兒說。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ8Sz5w5Dd
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB7UHCG9Do
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12q8y6LIwv
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpY9JHj5E
「但真係無，多謝你，阿柏，多謝你對我嘅事咁緊張，但真係無。」她說，「我真係就只想留係度，常世之中我無地方返去，我亦唔想返去。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvCiqSZE8r
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoKzRQyiAK
「真心咩……」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5WI547w3D
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOxEk7Zt9t
「我個時已經……你明明都係一樣成為咗職員，應該都明白先岩。」鈴兒低聲道，「你想返去邊？」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby0HQyDOwm
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxF8ruzrk
我一時間答不出來。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡficBjWT6AA
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LbRXSXveJ
回家？當然了，我想回家。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HPdeRdKA3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni0eDeG56S
但之後呢？417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VsxHJjHp
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmWpCPPQK
他把自己的心臟交了給我，就只為了讓我成為這樣的人嗎？讓我呆在家中望天打卦？417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hA2AKmxHG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrjcfJ3xK
我甚麼也不會成為的。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWOe4lweZG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5M6bJQrj7
繞了一圈，回到了最開首的那個問題：接下來，我還可以去哪兒？417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbU6gqgJBh
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH5WKPsCCg
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEozZTv0K2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbSLUFsxJR
「好好諗下，阿柏，我都希望你唔會永遠被困係度，我都希望你證明職員都可以返去常世，咁我返房先啦。」417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXpxO8yF07
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1fxKlIiWq
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04b6nxERss
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam0c0kquIL
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFWv2ZaDzG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE4JuUwbIS
看著鈴兒轉身離開的背影，我卻感到心中一陣沉重和無力感。417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWefq4zCAI
