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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXReChnkFWz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1UZEtnimm
「啲人呢……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHAJmHoVtB
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2cJVMIF7b
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfWm3nKceb
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ixI7Y1O0r
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！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMGT8kugGr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj2d4nGq6p
「……係……度……啊……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImvoeSBoSQ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzZ8npEhX6
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEHON1rcJC
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7b0NZrOI
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOIr5K1GGK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmIFgsFYe
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWPhcImYFz
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukIsIzcDqd
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL3rORfVWW
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHYIP9rpS
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？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2kbuvbyci
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnZ698DQyB
「喵～」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoYs3eH1F9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnfGbfkVN
「渺…渺渺？！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzeE1DYE2T
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABWyFP9r1u
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ83sER78R
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sOi9pdFCI
「叮鈴…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiuj1aNFco
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGQODsWBSx
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？！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuaVi0HKzi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXgXYL57mV
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx29xK5539W
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLnAYQC6On
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR2swI0RDZ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7nasIzlIB
走廊盡頭有人！！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hVAQrnRJ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhrf11HhCD
「……小姐！等陣！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLEyzY6wi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0QC0S0s70
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！！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumvNwgv7vF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3eWiDMP8p
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1qnnCVHi
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoslRjdvqS
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfLyzuL4fh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJxKer8bAe
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq9Meo6PZX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUgivdviPl
等等，那人是！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVR9lW0IvG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQu1jZgwaQ
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQO72WEbJq
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0utphGbnEr
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！！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGMFZ1S4py
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH7vQ3pfNT
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWSpPPwT6b
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8855TcPow6
「砰！！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kQl0Z71YO
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqenOaX3f
「哎呀！嗚…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPs3EcsbAP
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2fiVidbDZ
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！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFMYpSTUHg
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc10G6yh2hh
「……我識得你？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAuygn2Oe8
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHPCufX96M
咦？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgo4RUhDcT
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1GO1fmyDo
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKohLdulYoG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcu4GS9I4r
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyMeotsexe
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQN4UusVL0
一看便知這是醫院。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTDuukOAL6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNRjWcIUK
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwiTAbgLwW
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KVmk9hRyl
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bjXH8vh2W
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrOiasD2l3
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrEbl0yMWQ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2arRGjNl
「但係……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNeqqizwu9
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrFkF5lifU
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1tzI6jdfx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZiRskMZYN
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JWPKUnSQ2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAOoN1VzjU
「我返去做野先。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjX2eA72ra
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXZXXpjiGI
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOk8MUl1F3
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABamzVMMbf
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？471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbbZzx0pFY
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oEUlboS4M
但馬上我就看出端倪了。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMABFckRuQ
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg6IejzdEY
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtTmZRfzyf
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRFvxnwx6
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5v156sWF
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxKE1dKoM
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxycNHPOmYr
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYWtwsWHoX
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIs5OzkD1C
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG18BfJrZF1
［13座 西翼4/F］471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1NKI2i7Gw
［安寧病房］
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxRaeuxdZ4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZ9ejwn1h
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjc0PLDue
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y8T4LfcBF
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xbMNGzKio
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PvZD0veuY
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHO72Rd2zK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE3e3xNiW4
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmYTdnAaIh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlumS37w9
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGlXrBF66
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjE5WMyyQl
「……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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5OTCUOnLT
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0CpJWrOqE
「明白。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgXJiyOpDm
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zFIkH59NI
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVN0LRMAU8
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cv8jyeY2T
好冰冷，她的表情。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeInFVgaJv
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBoJysorJI
好陌生，她的身影。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6NBU4XFgN
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd3VzhMUpg
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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11k9gce8iq
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zWutRX60
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSYGKVk4d
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN2MlietOA
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNskiYIMRPv
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkcMAEyFa5
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACPbNTkQC
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZVMantXUM
「係。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzznNLzMkLC
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuD8zutLa7
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolPI5T5a0
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7PR5hygkr
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuijIA7DF1
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy2XQBHMYo
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYQNkLR5c
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFJqyrKMl
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dc4h7VoE
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5C2p112mg
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhDtiC9N51
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLQaIUktmW
「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。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAzOBtUDb0
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj2yUrI5Mq
「咁原因係咩？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKapkZ1hR
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZda9vxYC
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……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32aGabcW5y
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKVIC5Ad3f
「喵！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKUxsYgR4t
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqxwznEag
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？！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknXR0FkIH
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u4Kk3cw3r
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonGE7KqsAG
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5pDPZcwg2
「渺渺，等埋我！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5zY0TwlEx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8p5z4tspK
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO4s9WUK5V
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFE4ONDAvA
「渺渺！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIxK0COqbC
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7PpeSmv2G
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvi8AzpzAK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnrVNXewtO
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhZ8djYe4I
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5lOtn86eu
「喵哈？！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO0Fr7ju39
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOkH9WxZE
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EbBe3Q622
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwjJIhQZza
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKmTDFb0qK
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS9t5QI1Ep
「叮……叮……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwWQmpmik
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQG5z4JF4k
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv26nSAFkyb
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuC8Keg9IF
「…嗄…呼…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJxBjhVY2
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBYt5sRIS
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQgHe33Odt
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opacOEiWf
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltMX8b0u5b
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f7ky3vBaS
「叮……叮……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfdMb89BX
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DgPkDZzqj
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1OKMIQcmx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ERGmqQSh
找到了！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oyi1S3AA4
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS57zNYooL
「喵！」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiAaVXNA3r
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMlUn8X2M2
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！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHvnkp5ZmM
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdsRh7ZSxB
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl02ur1SCY
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRuRDgKDyS
回來……回來了！471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA22h4eCip
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnHg3MvnbL
「呼…呼…」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgeXsWyvn6
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEVuLXiHQ8
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaufaP09Yuj
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3qbcCewLo
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xz5oi0WPB
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsHzVmJpzN
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。471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQJzATwuPx
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUzkZxyymt
「你係……」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJsRJJeb7U
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCeTSQCzk
「熟人。」471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMt3Ipkoh
471Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjdm3IuLZ
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。
