「既然佢係呢度，一定會再見到佢嘅。」我說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXwLavPjCP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RY7DBVMz1
「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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwhCfurNP9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxFM4RV6O4
「就算我搵到返去嘅動機同地方？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1rElLobC
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg04jZUfrZ7
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNO5WQ683
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQk4ZQhSh6
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcjn70eMr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡullFU5KPIs
鈴兒清脆的聲音，在阡迴旅館的天井之間迴盪。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvDtUDv31z
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuHLcfsrR1
卻使我心頭一震！309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkCDThISWV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7gzim3oq
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ40rufA2dJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOPzy0LF6x
甚麼解鈴之人。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeAdM8GfPT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeqps3fJDr
「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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB50TmD6gUt
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHUGNupyQp
鈴兒頓一頓，沒有說話。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQLo7ihNce
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMiuijOlU
「我無。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8frbpUFeoZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3qRZ3SV2A
接著簡單的一句，伴著心碎的哽咽。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lHiH14ZrF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ejIWvcBX
「鈴兒……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqkYbOJx6h
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSe6qu8mb1
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSESQZknW4K
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPukdSvfp
「你真係無事？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAttnDqFCQ8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdGLm3cEmf
眼中還有淚花的她嫣然一笑：「無啦，我由紀錄簿開始教你先。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xnv7OtDqY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVNTiFcIG
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFeKBpiqYF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFd0VWkdZ3
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq16exQqQl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkFII7lzdE
「明……明白。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn5GDnX4xU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyYcx3ZqCc
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！309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHUgWFbRwL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQClIE3J2l
「最重要係提供動機，就推因素同拉因素而言……阿柏？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mhRcDfExf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCC8uq9o7X
「嗚…嗯？我聽緊啊？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywIHsvPb5o
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09BgmXeHfS
鈴兒看看我，然後淺淺一笑：「今次就講住咁多先啦。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fMQP9NpL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidwlc7ZARY
「多謝你，前輩！」真的很善解人意呢。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgEO8aUS6Y
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6NZGt0CRZ
「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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDrkX6KJkr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPSXtgNRk2
「時間流操作？有咩好練習。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb6hIbPjph
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMwd4R7t81
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgWfXVKl7n
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGlKKmSuVg
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpx6MzUkVP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQEn334R0
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTWlrAIPAb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdclMARzMNd
「好。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtQ3z4VeAd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzEBDOmnYD
沙漏中的沙被停下。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASon0pBbhb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKyyu6xX7F
「唔係叫你暫定時間，係緩速。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctTYJv0gki
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYR5iQEAD
「我係打算緩速啊。咦？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ4tGF7fBc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDvOfDrsD8
精神才一放鬆，馬上就見一縷沙滑落。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0IBw2qN1
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxMSxgRQd
「點樣？無想像中易係唔係？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoW0VS4Yfu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOsSIzhLdA
「呃……呃……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcMhjCljZj
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGw3CQkjE4
精度…沒法提高！簡單就像如履薄冰！309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCCkZhJ29M
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwPjGFHHx
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0YxMPEziL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NtYOCEdMy
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWboQmWUQh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA7wqzH6Xm
「……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaMjzSAcIv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdULKYr6Cjs
「你有心事？」鈴兒問。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ZkI8Hz1x
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6K5MWJrdb
「無就假，我同你都會永遠咁被困呢度？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJGSgBtpvf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeseposva0
感覺鈴兒在迴避著我的問題。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1RzCG4Hs8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNqwakQZV
「職員係喪失歸去之處嘅人，我地嘅歸去之處就係呢度……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDD7SrYhDo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZdGld0CS9
「你點知？」我打斷鈴兒的重覆，決定拋出我的假說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2F0RFslS2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DFFaPauZb
假如鈴兒是錯的。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWLdAf2EqB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUkjWqBVW
假如鈴兒不是永遠正確的權威。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmSqLScs5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FjpuqiCqC
「……你咩意思？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl15H9xp0hl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QlhVCfw18
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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUUdoP3Osa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvrPQ5aTG
「……」鈴兒沒有說話。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvUPELyiad
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5vBSw6qb
「如果只係你自己嘅假設，有無可能其實唔係咁？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zjI3Dh0p
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUgGplajs9
「阡迴之門可以證實呢點。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDBVOIvgjK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3UX3Zg6iq
「阡迴之門？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ4Ok1yj7m
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LsKiVZoD1
「跟我嚟。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh2hqsi5vs
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzHX1aoFJ
我與鈴兒走到了附近的一扇門。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrRPujr8Pz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1pLxcxKZC
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZbZrIzxl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvupgJlCGHP
「叮…叮……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v2RNL1hyj
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN2tNPZ1sQ
風鈴聲響起，眼前的門框滲出微光。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr7QyXrqBS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamUMRIQj3
「就會咁。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuX2nwhtFP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMzS5jx5jQ
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYr3EQvBIL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfLJVJta3k
「係阡迴旅館？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC3O6znmTT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJX4No2zHG
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPH1wROUDw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVVTJZJJon
阡迴之門沒法通向不存在的未來。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jMxQ0sx5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjVzsMzKzB
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWeUdytYrl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HZWtjx9HJ
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ9BML4wZK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsJaEPSZTz
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLRWLcmEo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbWVUMvGxI
沒有回去常世的未來。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDVxZLwBTI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUTBxhpN0q
「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！」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAQyYEpIKe
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwgNnnwPjC
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiirbUNvhkq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKWD8JZCzI
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC3axOK0RA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2URzkpyl
可是，卻——309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSq8EcSUvD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGKRCUrYt4
「無。」鈴兒說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISz98sp8vz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQavyD9Pvo
「都話唔使理咩阡迴之門……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOVRs7PWaA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QlJN4gnF
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qfPVfcGKx
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZU8Vjer1
「真心咩……」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlaVAMtI7n
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq5B4JkaGX
「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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW93xavgqo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYf1Qj2ddY
我一時間答不出來。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuy7RCgfGI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQWvKUJ0Fy
回家？當然了，我想回家。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCulhbytzD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0pGn3aQHa
但之後呢？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnGY22GN2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hKEh81Cnn
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？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8S8RgmIyg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteRr1QKo7j
我甚麼也不會成為的。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZQSs5vzgO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAPlwM9h0x
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？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPTS3vFIwr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yBRcaxnB9
我沒有答案……我「還」是沒有答案。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOHmSduTtG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujfbse1E24
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET4fZMbVfg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8AbJ32lsk
等等——這二字我沒有說出口。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZsl45jhFX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjskUtWMo8H
她等我又如何？我還能說甚麼？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH5yQCM6Qe
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq55Miy6QEd
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcXAQG3ltE
