愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvn2ieIo5v
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GDSxdYjiv
但準確來說，是前攝影師。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MD9ubZUgl
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcDhUz2RvI
「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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7oh643NBK
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi63MhaJhM
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECwDZHg7s
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wkdq95TNb
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQoIBWz9RR
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvF2KwVWwa
「好靚係唔係？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsOPsffrgC
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb34zl6UqC
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5zh4B0iee
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdm07OPeNg
「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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWudiVhbcc
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgCOkwRHDt
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgQir0uFiJ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0YnlU0681
「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……」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTJbC9dzR9
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD8h0ejmmL
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7P2raPHOV
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGrfa6RMmb
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCyndQ52yz
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3oyI84vMW
「返去嘅理由…」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWa1rYEwr
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZPOVvXQhV
「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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElJPU123JZ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvTxbljYLH
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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwOpgATVxr
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9809m7SCU
「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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcadUsEoW6M
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKOw38vFqr
我心中一沉。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7yi0EhOyP
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIexg8rkGp
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2upn5gbR3
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWRevwh3zB
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQrxUjUNEd
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUvKzWUZoM
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E4eoQ0jEF
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA3xwkNYjg
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JE5ZZPH89
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxAsRaMaBX
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqYtfmfuju
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Z0mq2qu6
「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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCp6xW1nYb
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8ASwCeLh
「我始終想再睇多次。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0sMKUrhjC
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqGD7Pq3mz
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM2MbNWwqQ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzRwXC1r0y
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTiKPySvQ9
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2ImV717D
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…？382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfE37ayhDO
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBqfPlsMMY
甚麼跟甚麼。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvwACHbZze
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHlyhVHIF
「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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGXaBsb0jz
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWBJM42ghU
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM9XabILCx
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5rnz7OBTI
「例如——」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCke3b5xJ4O
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6x85NOeTh
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwlfxrwwCI
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuTHLDSBdx
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRmeAIxU3g
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJ1c7cIJs
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONu9hMSJnS
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfjZ0kXe0
「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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8OQNhLdAJ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5sb36TQ7s
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWkKt1w5B0
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4EUSyvOiQ
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmWsi52Q3S
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFAVAb1cZ
「Hall 2B？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFE49kaQcy
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXk8ID618
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」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eWNAynJq1
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqOyPMIKQ
「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？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanX98YnCSb
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjQj6hhuF
我點點頭：「嗯。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE9dUCSQQb
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqsE9qvX2c
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7gFJc5o4y
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKF3tCCvDk
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWO5Rb59Q1
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AfhDU51Z0
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtsu0L0gse
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5acbLO3u5
「嘎——」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oWDqsiD4r
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEOpRR6o5J
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！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLne8V5W1Oi
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV5GYD6mtL
「呢度……！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlspAvG8EFV
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6NjuyMeZb
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9RBE2jSyc
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWtnbVDFDK
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……382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcnNoCIbFm
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpw4J8H9o2
「咦？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWDRNgcwnN
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYv7qupvZ9
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhz7kNNPeu
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5CGLql71h
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmKDqrvYEJ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKagb10fU1
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97e34hhhr
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z2hQotZ6P
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhpWv5m9lE
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPKmtbPfzz
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQAl6vsWgZ
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jiiaDBcR
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYypXegbNB
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe1IAWeppt
「呢度係……」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JeAAuF46
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmaGzstK09
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz5CXbxMQV
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdRF0L3KCG
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzolUSAFJvI
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChWXoEwrdt
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。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911NuozLNF
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6oNv5GNG
「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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV25HgKYXap
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrGVVhbevi
「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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYDPIE7Ruc
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrQZOUXHV
就在那瞬間，我看到了。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1l1iBOMIE
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHTfZZMa8b
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！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaefGH0NWqX
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ugexA6egb
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOtOlzkR5X
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl1nv7ZQ5j
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHoz6bmIR9
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3jAk4xjso
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？382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z5DXy9iCM
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz0KCIivYf
「我地行呢邊。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw2J583NWD
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwzwfXeS2K
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHThNohw1w
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgx98S8dZ
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！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QpMJs10X5
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DmhuTjhBH
「嘎——」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3zHakV8J
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ussxzl4Dd
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！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5dW5hRoen
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxhDqJrzU
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1idfW4iZ5
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOqDlG4vy0
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiTEXErqWt
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXoucwVsHv
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOkVkPpyUY
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUdpn2d1mo
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPGTQSzJ3L
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13smvubzSP
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGKghO8cd
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL0ftvXYkW
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvu1Hf6t6
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRfMC9lfFe
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddSpPwvIVw
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVVA0tpPId
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。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H0aABi0En
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGIqBEoDr
但唯有那一句不變。382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPooqsfyx
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLGpiRFTrb
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf4VMcSxk9
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhVszQJc1M
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
