「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwIGRgKqQr
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdocEJxgc6
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVW02rupz1
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0AMVCFCIL
「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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgDTZBZJzZ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3C2oJz8Zp
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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR48AAO2Qr
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndZRtFTDxP
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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd67KnxHyQW
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyriGP8wwqF
沒法子。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodi0sUkJn
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJkvS7xepe
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！608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXRE0D9FfF
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeULSAh1HA6
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuRq1xCXFl
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeoRH4PQGp
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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz0Ra1NozB

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSDikAl6gk
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdearJ0HI
「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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHofrEfxF
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM4yzmPin5
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。」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX9iyIe3AY
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqM4cI8mL9
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuPL4FpSCi
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ469Y0O4BhP
「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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k1J89CBYu
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g1M0cLO5w
「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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpOOLK7Tt
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6cfg4Jfa
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwmF9yAQBl
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNMZ8o3Cr
「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！」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj8U3ZKqbK
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKoCTP4Gaj
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYzuteHyWI
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7RHWS1O69
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNaRXkmV5E
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKUH1PjsTS
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9FeGlsF9Z
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoozO0Wsybr
「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。」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjNY9s2Ft4
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAfCGG8o4V
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp6WkK9oRM
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKWwLr0qPo
「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？608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGMklSvlF7
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Iv7Vm7lY
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T2YJHJATh
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAqpEG9SNb
「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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78KKIKony
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jX0XC4HjF
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgv7e6Kly9
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4lypYskLt
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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz22a19LCN
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatuj3DgLZm
像虛擬世界。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENy2u4r6mu
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaOfAxhNw6
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEy7BbGo3E
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1O60Or6p0
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1LOg7gQFJ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeKALvIwPK
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rrS9pHPc
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qm5nz9wV6
店外，夜色蒼茫。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJN9Zsmecw
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZ8ahFChZ
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。608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Wr87FEyS
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89S1DXTQrZ
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。
