曹公潭戶外康樂中心 (隔離中心)．第四日327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o4EffeHfM
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjuCgW6mH
在飯堂吃早餐時，我把握難得的機會，與「病癒者」共席，打算探個究竟。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4mgsXF5t0
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQvxnZ7OAX
事緣是媽媽在隔離中心結識了一個OL，她叫Cherry，估計25-28歲左右，相貌普通。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7mPFGutKS
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqWOaj8s4b
母親與Cherry正結伴吃早餐時，把從睡房走出來的我招來。意料之外，Cherry竟然大方地談及自己發病的事。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd1AV8ykBq
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTpdyaSi21
「說真的，當下發生的事我幾乎毫無記憶。有種在睡夢醒來後，知道自己作夢卻不記得內容那種感覺。」Cherry環視圍在旁邊聽她講故事的幾名住客、尷尬地說。「說出這種話，真是太失禮……畢竟我可能做了傷人甚至殺人的事……總之，昨日黃昏時分左右意識一下子就回來了。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBDyaVGabQ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuch5JSk2mY
第一次見到「病癒者」是在昨日中餐時間，但Cherry是在黃昏時間醒來，這代表每人對「解藥」反應不一，Cherry屬較遲恢復意識的人。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yV8McClCO
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOP3IK3f49
「直到現在，職員有對你做些甚麼嗎？」我問。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxl8gugDZ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFQ5GuePI
她略思考說：「我在類似醫護房裡醒來，他們幫我抽血又問很多雜七雜八的事，感覺像在幫老人痴呆的人作診斷似的。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssKseXwUv7
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PHqcyrt0
試圖測試她思緒是否清晰吧。「之後讓你回睡房？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWBne0N92Y
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8MKxW7oKW
「就是啊，他們告訴我之前得病並且發病，但已打了針，目前抑制住病毒，已經沒事了。」她說。「沒有交代我發病時做過甚麼、要對甚麼事負責。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVBTM9MPDU
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XR3hNKYHA
「醫護房只有你一人嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAwO1MKgZK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqaIPrKLXZ
「仔細想想……確實有其他病人還在睡覺。不過印象中只剩下一兩人而已……」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcGUi2EiFn
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QiZeFcWT8
如果沒記錯，騷動在前日晚上六、七時開始，假設Cherry最早於那時發病，直到昨晚才醒來的話，足足二十四小時。她算是最遲一批醒來，代表「解藥」只需一日時間， 就能治好病人。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs0qOs6hpr
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHq8kXFdhN
當然這是基於十幾個試驗對象得出的結論，而且Cherry確實被打針的時間點很模糊，更別說是否真的能完全康復。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH5couge8k
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxd4PVKqcl
「他們沒叫你保密嗎？」我問最後一條問題。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUBe1REAwh
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB99s45D8s
「沒特別交代呢。不過新聞竟然沒有說我們的事，可能藥物還在試驗階段吧。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBPQGzzF2Y
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs6n1u8yyA
話題結束，之後大家東扯西聊，我沒再搭話。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiU6gS7PnQ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJatJUGKl0
吃過早餐後，媽媽不安地問：「不是說陸續安排我們取回手機嗎？剛剛跟其他太太聊過，沒有任何人收回呢。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmLkrswvtK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i1CMH6D8t
這下可奇怪了，經過整整一日，政府辦事再怎麼低、再怎麼慢，起碼有一部半部歸還給我們才對啊……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCBd1Lh0k
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyJMCVBBvQ
「不然我去問問，沒手機在身果然很不習慣。」我說。「你要一起來嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGNdfhC8y
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikdEhsHdST
她罷罷手：「我下去1樓平台等你吧。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GhPdtnEYg
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWN9UrrvM
來到位於3樓的服務台，發現原來梓軒比我早已前來查詢，他緊皺眉頭站在服務台向我招手。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwjDVxZ5e0
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpj6WGYLmg
「手機的事嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjcdwME8tu
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzzAM0qVqP
他點頭：「嗯，可是找不著人。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIYsJA9nqE
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRdVN0WE1x
服務台上放了一個紙牌：「稍候一會，馬上回來」。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkntK5fTpwV
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqc52Wg2sP
我望望手錶，早上11點多。「來了很久？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0O5cc42v
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWueO8uuFc
「大概等了二十分鐘。會這麼焦急是因為連大樓的電腦都無法上網。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUt7EH0yjA
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1O5khhsV4
「甚麼意思？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiky2IKGk7W
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUMBNd0l8
「大樓只有5樓閱讀室那6台電腦開放給我們使用，今早過去試過，全部運作正常，卻連不上線。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKC4GL4di4
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5OZjMQNsi
「他們怎麼解釋？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLLenjuHg
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2sqJXVjd
「訊號故障中，正在搶修。」他苦笑。「多爛的大話。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOVBLR03Xr
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7UWcUfJsA
我「嘖」了一聲，走到升降機附近拿起公用電話，電話筒那邊傳來「嘟──嘟──」的空號聲……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8GanVxyT
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1P7iss0k6
該不會……「可能這台壞掉而已，要續層走試試看其他公共電話嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGj7rYxY26
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsxPy0ym1L
結果，整幢大樓的電話全是空號！327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknICUmlBJK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RFX86trjI
跑上跑下因而氣喘的我，說：「手機、網絡、電話統統都用不著，這代表我們完全被隔離──即使發生甚麼大事，無法求救、外界也懵而不知。說甚麼下載監察系統，根本想哄我們把手機交出！」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuHk6591Do
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJwJ8R1Ob5
「即使有人有一台以上的手機，如果政府處心積慮斷絕我們與外界的聯繫，也不見得上到網或發到訊息……」他分析。「這下子，政府想做甚麼都不怕有人會知道……因為搞不好所有受害者……最後全軍覆沒……」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSg9m6bbCt
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuABcCdrzH
這種話換作在其他情況下聽到，一定引起哄堂大笑，兼且恥笑梓軒是主張陰謀論的白痴。可是以這四日的舖排來看，政府安排我們入住隔離中心一定別有用意、一步一步把我們逼上不歸路……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFkmI0l4Vw
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q7RvxInEk
「梓軒，」不出數分鐘，經過多番思量後，我作好決定。「你打算怎麼做？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoOulwmnLM
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPJH5GrggG
他想了一下子，說：「我……還未有計劃。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFY9Xrgwr2
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Q4aePMMR
我把雙手放在他肩上、眼神篤定地宣告：「我打算今晚帶母親離開這裡。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFbR7CSVct
