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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjYolwSPQF

「啲人呢……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Zyfzmb8E
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HEyqbQM7j
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0iWUVYNBB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOXKerufd
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！！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUcanReQlY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZP7hYwwZ
「……係……度……啊……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YY1ysLJjB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCsfQGz1CJ
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzu7Wtzd7t
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzefl2XPmrZ
沒有，沒有，沒有！！門後沒有阡迴旅館！我被困在平行宇宙了？！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRbGKqpeN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeVMJpMpPp
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6v3MUMaol
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb2JWX5894
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gGo170VfB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU69mIVA1M
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？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzmeJbhmUi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf890j6bY4g
「喵～」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ8FiAPd9V

「渺…渺渺？！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZtb8tDaYm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Awk7o4uGb
頹然坐在地上抱頭的我，卻突然聽到貓叫聲。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHOSrVZho
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVf58S2Yl7
「叮鈴…」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZM4hJxX2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiWQjzcMJ
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？！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCXovmxjiv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbgdzujwl0
「渺渺？！你係邊啊！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOkiu0Q1wY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYexTZ8hDB
我站起來東張西望，卻始終沒法鎖定渺渺的方向。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFj5YObUb
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Nx9QOpDK
走廊盡頭有人！！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwN4PmTlPD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllyeilKVnO
「……小姐！等陣！！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LBM8sEPep
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE4LHKPLD5
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！！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25k3mBxuUO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2COl1uTpU
「等陣！！求下你，停一停！！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpTWZYplKx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQzheuQlJ0
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c4ANi5HHO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMBUpV5IBS
不能……我不能停下腳步！這樣會被身後的虛空追上……441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXyeusTCaW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLN6Q6fNzJ
等等，那人是！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHEeEeMFiZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSKKJ4otQ1
「鈴兒！！我係度啊！！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp4fNdz4kF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7t9jXSNCW
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！！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAMJZqxGc0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfKECtoQTc
「等埋我…求下你…唔好連你都扔低我……夏！鈴！兒！！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEXf58z1iB

「哎呀！嗚…」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQcRXizvU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuCSo9S6Y5
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！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRGH4COcu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Sds51CNh
「……我識得你？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6i7cXV8x
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudBpTXKoeb
咦？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6j81iZie7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdJG9KAp57
等……等，哪兒來的門？我在哪兒？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VAY5dflr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfceM6NR7Z
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOWtppP8aO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWaDPfVciK
一看便知這是醫院。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrZZCbmRdp
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgngeS2dht
「鈴…鈴兒…我頭先…嗄…你聽我講，真係嚇死我…」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6iLjhhegv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zf0MskXRq
「先生，我地唔識對方，就請唔好直接叫我個名。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHE0MXjtQL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS3dAHcdug
眼前的鈴兒，極之冰冷。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cVOG46PwC
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7II3exaMhG
「但係……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODscajeamS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2x4oW1DzJ
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPRzzKd0PB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQaqT13qmK
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEoDKCdaKQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FRL45PfqN
「我返去做野先。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsUxnUxq0v
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROn88phsw
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwdrIYNHup
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKndQAiP0jU
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？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmT0wJ7hg2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm807BCWVu
但馬上我就看出端倪了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EtxfBhWan
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHvOSFwTH
無論是那邊那個醫生手上拿著的摺式手機。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIm3JQt1b6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpvzvCGook
還是在角落中放著的顯像管「大牛龜」顯像管電視。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeHKW4QItL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDYEX6kbNC
這兒不是未來，不是現在，不是平行宇宙，更加不是阡迴旅館。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgpDlsl8mq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLq8Yo6xIw
這是過去，鈴兒成為阡迴旅館職員前的過去。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZa4RUWgGa
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEyow35LI
［13座 西翼4/F］441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0dkNOS81u
［安寧病房］
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGDLf1yA5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjC5L6QkIa
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC43BOtPQu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPJih0t8i
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knmjHVOJR
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjotYkBh99
我知道甚麼是安寧病房。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG4njmyO3s
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrM9QNmgrG
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF1SzezRx5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH2o7GKG2u
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRXx8CsEOZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzXNw65ECl
「……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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ65DnipELj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQkxRd8eus
「明白。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8yVXJEaT
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayxkIbH1Hp
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZhjZ8gpu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfeZwdHnLC
好冰冷，她的表情。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL9VeIYbLb
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThmS3HAtIJ
好陌生，她的身影。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjat5xuWjZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1vfXh3Ws
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。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBcCMIiQ2C
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjYGfTFaGs
「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。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bYjrQbhxN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFTHbcTyCE
「等陣，聽日入住嘅新病人，點解……無資料？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNlYZykRKa
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGivISTVHb
「除左夏姑娘之外，大家都出返去做野先。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dKd0rbbHJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCXztWxbPY
「係。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGI28S6uiA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9JvSSSy1i
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjcOHAR9XB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aFVyGMiIo
「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。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf781XaM8Xs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy68grWzg0C
「好。」鈴兒簡短地點頭。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ukAmn06kj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGk3yvgSDP
「你就唔問下點解要搞到咁神秘？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO1bV5jUrm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKkO947EBm
「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。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqec1rpWh6I
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujnaLYYJA
「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。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kNOyMVuu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyAJZuK3af
「咁原因係咩？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTL54wWLi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBEbWCOqol
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……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyysrGK5HJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosOt5kHqVU
「喵！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIbLUWZk7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwFV4mD9ej
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？！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm1rE5YBZu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9SLNBeiXL
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFIsMabMN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIiHfR1Kd
「渺渺，等埋我！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlbHvrhyvu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJK0iju7wS
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg295tM7N7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMd2joFAj
「渺渺！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0d2HF6rKM
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeJnKay9H
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEoP8Da7F4
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93sOzuYDHL
「渺渺！嘁……真係，肥成咁點解可以跑得咁快！？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWUlSLkNsU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQ1ogXIYC
「喵哈？！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrVmw1mDQy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbLxt0NaKy
在走廊盡頭的牠聽到似乎有點生氣，但還是在那兒等著我。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvpUq1BbU6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStfGeMzgf
急步追上的我才一拐過那個角落——441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqVONhGzUr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtisKeMA3Z
「叮……叮……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyNposwikn
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrg8hjDTJu
風鈴聲，在幽閉的走廊中迴盪。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG2UyZpWen
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4vEzChgi7
「…嗄…呼…」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAKLHpNOhF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhWv7RGbx
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bUOmMauQF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUZoBvmFV
風鈴聲，來自阡迴旅館。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekZnWVv3qs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCj9j6mps1
「叮……叮……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfzurc30nT
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThEmMpE9ke
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMceW1CbG9V
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sEK2EBNm
找到了！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyhdbAae3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZP2GyoBAy
「喵！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50zNbvcTHM
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozwgzQSIjT
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！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPEBIsOan5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMnkwiOhgW
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BwrL5UZA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ6p9oRwH0
回來……回來了！441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZyvLyC965
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQbxC7Eyub
「呼…呼…」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIaQPFn1a
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMLZ0cbQ9d
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDqoFH6VUF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihEiShgJuW
「返嚟啦，溫年柏。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8diOktGQ1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pl6vW5whY
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。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60poRZelvF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69crAfsdds
「你係……」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqFzuGlTyQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCNc9MXeSf
「熟人。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfiwFOnp9
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0CjQmA5F
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。
