「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccWczefca
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O7pNduRME
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUAOmpDqGM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsHZdiLegi
「這裡不好嗎？鳥語花香，豪華大宅、美酒佳餚。還有，我和小思都在這裡！」她輕輕招手，招來小思——我們的愛女。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6xjz3wRk
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABRCbkWiU
年僅五歲的小思胖胖白白，兩眼水汪汪，腦後頂著兩彎稀疏的小辮子。她鼓起兩頰紅透的小腮子，模仿媽媽的動作，摟抱著我的小腿。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHb6QenaJj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJK1hsTJlb
她們的每一句話、每一個動作都正中我的軟肋，硬生生將我的理智和情感撕裂。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTGWlBFlNJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDehQiqkncG
沒法子。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUKQXOTMm0
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e4RRFD0be
她們的外形來自我的記憶，言行源於我的心念，再加上高端科技營造出來的聲音、氣味、觸感，二人活脫脫就在我眼前、我懷中！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVYN1KpD1H
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqKTj1XA3K
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8s14z2KuM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyChGH5Qlv
暗黑的狹窄環境與虛擬世界內的柔和日光形成強烈對比，我的腦袋和眼睛霎時間適應不來，暈頭轉向，整個人從床上滾掉到地面去。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbooOFJeds

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc05HCeTvP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaCLmcXxP3
「先生，事前我向你解釋過流程，你應該知道強行脫下頭盔的後果可大可小。輕則昏迷數天，重則永久癱瘓神經系統，變成植物人。」大叔外表粗豪，說起話來卻是婆婆媽媽的。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDXe61vUjJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelEooyWDgj
我硬撐起身子，背靠床架癱坐著，勉定心神，穩住呼吸節奏後，不忘向大叔道歉：「不好意思，嚇壞了你。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUbxdzGhYC
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfygSxhNK1
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqIJUi8LVr
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHFZ3wQZmq
「如果機器因為我的行為而損壞，我會賠償。」我是個負責任的男人，無論對人對事皆然。我為此自豪。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLL2BdScA1
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqjyO1MUOs
「不是這個意思……」大叔終於反應過來，上前攙扶我到休息室去。他拿來熱毛巾，敷在我的前額。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx8CmzXL2l
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv3PaOBP2X
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIIfujjdS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCQDYYu2oX
「忍耐一會吧。」大叔自顧自在我身邊吞雲吐霧：「誰叫你不依規矩！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRQDL35EL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnuovUZx5v
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2c8gc6ZKo
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCrc0fH1vJ
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIMVqqGCQ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbAlIdJOLL
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRQrdoTgv
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCdKyhbVD
「顧客願意花大錢前來光顧我店，大都是因為抵不住親人離世的傷痛。」大叔意味深長地補上一句：「你不是唯一一個。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGLgs5kaY1
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCjzzh9j4
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvFWDXxrmo
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡota9xrcUoL
「所以你有能力捱過去——因為大家都捱過去了。」大叔輕視我的悲傷？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBWI59ehZ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSDYK95jw5
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFHdjOrh2l
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtwpYzYuLa
「我知道。他們花掉大量金錢懷緬過去，直至身無分文才如夢初醒，不得不重投生活、找工作賺錢，然後漸漸忘記傷痛。只有你，有本事打斷自己的思念之情，爽快俐落地回歸生活——你剛才主動向我道歉，而不是恃著自己的悲傷鬱結鬧脾氣。」大叔遞菸予我。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDufExE8I
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr4TrgOwiq
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyniKZNgzbi
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNzR7VDuU
菸紙的雪白、菸紙的粗糙質地、菸草的濃烈氣味、菸草被手指擠壓時的微弱碎裂聲響、濾嘴被叼在唇間時散發的淡淡化學味道，一切真實而空虛，沒有靈魂。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6zNCxUvuJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBbcc1DJW8
像虛擬世界。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscxF7hbjmP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Ug0Tt8Zr
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWmAmlqMA0
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoQCLbNl2L
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rzh0lUsrm
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSbp34DBK
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYWxFmb33C
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVm0zafLYE
店外，夜色蒼茫。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIESkmFTKN
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59dsBtvig
我回望店面的霓虹招牌——紫白藍綠四色甚有節奏地閃爍著，耀眼奪目。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkR4MHdB7L
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kkAOexcID
但只消放寬眼界，就會發現它只是萬千燈火裡的其一，毫不起眼。
