愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFWt7sCCFp
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKLbpxOmJ
但準確來說，是前攝影師。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimji6QNi11
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZnXvJSGo
「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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElCiCSFUDr
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66UCTZC0K9
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKgmRUwan
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUsmutLoA
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJ2kKMGmI
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUTKHIZo7Z
「好靚係唔係？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcufpgqXVd
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVXctFNqLg
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft75cx3vjT
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULdAXadk77
「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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxDu4D0VsF
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rBhXFwIWZ
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiaLi0rNJ0
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsb9z75vrK
「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……」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5GMHgrdRJ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DRJLSoxf
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThRUmQg1G
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJwMiveIq
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mH5rYWXH0
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloDqwnOqp4
「返去嘅理由…」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G6RWBJ2h6
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMpmVWDLCz
「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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBHPS3AqQL
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GYB1CkyGS
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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcPugQLymz
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTnzQqkelH
「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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWda4DzmKfH
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrcDh7rhpc
我心中一沉。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawdKuPYcFB
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZgoGPClLy
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eANWD16ZZ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmtNmPei54
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LviTuFcvx
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI7ywD2D3W
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pie1FIW7n
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wrAl6pQew
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pUQZoD2C4
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTd43Z3tHc
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb7DZHOtx9
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeulfInGFrl
「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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFVAryo1YE
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYrgLk4FhS
「我始終想再睇多次。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbuIdSdpnV
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHli45t9woz
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UL494MVYi
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurkpZz72tG
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNe0BNllE
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MggCEGDOp
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…？412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTTWH3BEkw
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvNXixmAHz
甚麼跟甚麼。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHFO4mIAU
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElaiRbKiDq
「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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMygCdFYwL
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iewLerAYa
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TEJkqpkOb
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuPiKx8gJ5
「例如——」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yws60pluc
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGARPvDJoZ
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWUB33fCrm
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL5MImdFlE
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyaW8CVpLn
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74CY7r4xo5
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk496UUWt9
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeTdCxlpbu
「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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQjOK2wgz
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFrTqojXK
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjmYxBrQPY
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUDviXB4iC
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQPOrbJcW
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5Y1cmphT
「Hall 2B？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddsWkNprU
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTromgpjW4
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」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPhdK2bBFX
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnpvUfTnyV
「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？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7MeoZzpLz
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CLr5IVjxV
我點點頭：「嗯。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUo19gvs7R
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGOiohb4YI
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwO63GsOLf
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH9J6MDfkg
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNECcyvES9
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbgPHttybL
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjtOON66P
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGc7BJrJvj
「嘎——」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA8OayNXrN
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1vtx3ysv
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！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCKyREYb2i
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7z7kHEAvu
「呢度……！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P8tpzRYJT
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5EI16D7T2
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMev6d9EdN5
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj1aas8UMI
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……412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWddrEEw8mN
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlqaSNAyrW
「咦？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaDESEsUi0
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5Zkga3N0
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdDU5wKnL8
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu6MGD8K7H
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWEr6pDfRY
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBv9pQ8ykQ
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7XhzC7bzg
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPEctDPPA
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YNogNwYW
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFCDljECwd
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqzwyr0xlu
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX8A9Pcjdg
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7WDu7p8cj
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZiHJaINp
「呢度係……」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4PaGxYGRk
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA0cPhVzjG
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KyircfHiV
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzqcPOpjis
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68edBAm40g
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrF1FG3K6c
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。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnb8zzRxLA
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxy6Ck2usz
「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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSkAEhf9wR
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNS78HrVma
「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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3o5lh44LZ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzmkbw72r
就在那瞬間，我看到了。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9sBwy2XCj
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnEVmVcigB
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！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfuOskMV3I
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr6hiOpDtl
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJE2jBkPP4
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGcIjKMIgX
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UMwcm4VfR
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkpVwzEwpo
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？412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ywlsJINVV
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYMeq6CPxe
「我地行呢邊。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8pZNY5o7r
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPUvV9vCgU
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxqENaS349
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweAbyvBeNF
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！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHMQyQZgk
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5npL7089fS
「嘎——」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFzgC4zbqd
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUVCHi57Rs
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！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDF6XNJBiv
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSz3oZy6Ej
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovRvcXPjt
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrfooq2bLt
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdh2Avwrkm
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2SZCvEcGa
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ecAlo13n
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjOx8TOVNZ
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C3ELQApFm
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vn942HkC9
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpSpoSNIFV
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVjTvbVGxt
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjWxsYgAG
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIRmgAfVR0
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMJDFRfLDL
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FfCT2ylDX
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。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaaXzh6UjB
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQB7IL5WX
但唯有那一句不變。412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdtDGOX9D3
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM0RMcze8j
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib8Qt3DpFH
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEkQ0Xg2VN
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
