愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIIAW7GLdi
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu54VCabxV
但準確來說，是前攝影師。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYbSZ3ug4p
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwdDGwXnr5
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpiDMUvh5v
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQSTgT5Nv
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zNXhfNOE4
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5i0g3ri7
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EaURsmWA0
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxgnlR75GH
「好靚係唔係？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVghshvpLJ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDbVNklut
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUnZ7KQeOX
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM3sO4JF1v
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOBqjDWdcp
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSTEqqymMd
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsFBej5b0v
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhnPIa96CE
「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……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsXPZJouyk
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckkiPTaPu
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoaEeNfSaQ
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3yxvEvyL
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GXbeqT6d5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipQYF3h3Qb
「返去嘅理由…」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08toZN9E1o
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VPSZhXdB
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0JRxN6KX
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iY7YF0vHT
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kpFHTkN4U
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkhqHoMVOq
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACXDMbswOB
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPoszTCSpv
我心中一沉。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY1IqeA3qT
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWor8041I
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwg1zhfxJ0
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLmG5Uqas3
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B6Rc2UYX0
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2qxZVvy6
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F6XFwfsyz
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrLIp4mFJ
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPez6eVyWN
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBwHdbKtgd
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnJm9Ut0Oh
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqlMITa3La
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtaIHxxPCc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jk9aUgxgR
「我始終想再睇多次。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rOY19RV5S
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRpg2NjyZJ
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOATIhTeysB
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFH48yRgd
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mRu73Vcbe
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a4DXRZIsS
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…？476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqEZ7ujc6
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgP1gJcjrg
甚麼跟甚麼。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p3tsQQgay
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI05opt5Z9N
「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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWJzE3qy3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ZMGlyhLB
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDGXWbPenH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxju3aaplE
「例如——」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn0kadkCuI
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmodzUtVLp
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKZcqGA5u9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj0TsgnViW
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcs0ICTLKO
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PBaNgD7t
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV9TFWIASR
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Zp83HOZo
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkFt30Uwxd
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV59KlfA7q
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7jbSA0QZr
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZriaFQQzm
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqYS0kCAuz
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWsbQD0fsb
「Hall 2B？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3Ljjp3tX
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdW3taWAwG
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」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqf4Gp0Y3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeEZMLxjJv
「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？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0HIQSX60C
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOojL7AK0
我點點頭：「嗯。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ypXKVFBA
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNSzomUZFn
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw97wMNY3C
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WNDatRE72
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfq7eycDR5
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRsVt742pO
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRio1n0Z9ko
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztgdoYJqYP
「嘎——」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLguTopaO
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE3hGXgSJo
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！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjjBeufWnv
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62oIj3A7Om
「呢度……！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDje6kkouH
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeibRTfcATR
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawHFcnB3kW
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyVN16gwEC
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……476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkgi5dNmgi
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vpYN0xwU
「咦？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSKBwoNMlD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6DG6yhVo
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zJd0SJvXb
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDMVW4hqMW
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNU8MpK4xs
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwmSFzPLr9
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNH9HSsz0O
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD5CIIqHg3
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCj3NzH7LR
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp2jvtjKlA
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacatqnt64r
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9xXXxMgQ
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqg08Lknjt
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZbPeuPnwH
「呢度係……」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9RH4MCdNX
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRelUcKSqOB
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCgTMAqDRe
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPovYCiie
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f2nRd1m0T
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARDKDDmSC
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。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYOWCFWqjD
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKtrB0dOGa
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Zmo1pAW6
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJsONYjDFi
「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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zlnEyjKSM
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOs6mhtVGy
就在那瞬間，我看到了。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F6palmWei
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvoVIgpL7j
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！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvCwQE2e88
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms0UOeg4bA
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVU7UAytg4
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPyffMYADr
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iuVZm1o1
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpNx05J4oK
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？476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCixtSmVRL
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSxKLdmvt5
「我地行呢邊。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKpSuBOtOM
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1mUBicwbc
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmSq6PLh99
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv78LaN8QQm
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！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteRzJx40t3
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JxhapG4uT
「嘎——」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslLRP8AjL
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvxK10zDC
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！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGP0WkDLsR
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrsz74Yq37
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy57kdfzfc
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9jjmAlHti
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy31nd4I2v
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jshj6KMrV
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOo9mDhgwo
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv9BwztBiD
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMXFHSsX6R
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfRG3MIxGA
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqIWarvnD9
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8styWeoQN
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hMm0mXR5v
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWjCummOF
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxyeedFXho
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSx7I3Vp7
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。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2OtkgN0li
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqsAYOcSqj
但唯有那一句不變。476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXvvMTjAE
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ejaXbUtP
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK16KKZJsu
476Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1JnYOIntR
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
