掌聲雷動,閃光燈咔喀咔喀地閃過不停,舞台前穿著米黃色晚裝長裙的愛莉露出淺笑,一邊向眾人輕輕揮手,一邊登上舞台。258Please respect copyright.PENANA83nXBwiVpk
258Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Bjplg2TC
「恭喜你,愛莉女士,你嘅作品非常出色,為世人帶來好大嘅啟發。」258Please respect copyright.PENANADzegcBMFNv
258Please respect copyright.PENANA86aP1NAyDF
「多謝你,殿下。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAIdiiv1eAoj
258Please respect copyright.PENANA34m1JjvhTp
「殿下?」我問。258Please respect copyright.PENANAGbtEO384EP
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaSeOVOjVDx
「佢係荷蘭王子,係呢一年負責頒獎嘅嘉賓。」鈴兒介紹道。258Please respect copyright.PENANAQXfFM3u9Pj
258Please respect copyright.PENANAulPV0vS7GK
從殿下手中接過獎座和獎章,舞台上的愛莉眼泛淚光向台下的人致意,這個未來之中,和她一起出席的人是她的父母,看得出年老的二人都為女兒獲頒這殊榮而感到驕傲,眼框中盡是喜悅的淚水。258Please respect copyright.PENANA6QX2pNo1yr
258Please respect copyright.PENANAq9xe4sGZiY
台上的愛莉抱著獎座給台下的行家拍照後走到講台把它放下,然後輕拉麥克風到自己嘴邊,接著開始以英文致謝詞。258Please respect copyright.PENANAX53qcPKPns
258Please respect copyright.PENANAB7lHOWtXcH
我一句都沒聽入腦,因為我們身邊這個年輕,真正的愛莉也眼泛淚光,正默默垂著淚。258Please respect copyright.PENANAMwU85hY6LM
258Please respect copyright.PENANAP1FIulCzla
「俾你。」我掏出手帕交給她。258Please respect copyright.PENANAkzWxbXNPg5
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXdiUSsdWQR
「唔……唔該。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAN31Kj2ElkE
258Please respect copyright.PENANATMbWAtiD3C
西裝附有手帕太好了。258Please respect copyright.PENANAkwO99x2CS7
258Please respect copyright.PENANA6jNzTYWtWa
「呢度就係未來?」我問,要不去看看未來的股市行情,回去常世後大賺一筆。258Please respect copyright.PENANA6gwhpuXkb7
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXkjJXNL2r5
「啱一半,呢度只係其中一個未來。」鈴兒說。258Please respect copyright.PENANAHdeQgm0TfD
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmp6QKsYdJO
「其中一個?哦,你講唔同平行世界之中個種大同小異……」258Please respect copyright.PENANAofGnPvZ0VQ
258Please respect copyright.PENANAIaxltDpbaT
「唔計個啲喇。愛莉成為一個成功嘅攝影師,只係諸多未來嘅其中一個。所以就算愛莉你離開阡迴旅館重返常世,亦唔代表呢個未來就一定會成真……呀!阿柏?!」258Please respect copyright.PENANASCP1picP3r
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfDPZzJj5Q1
我急忙拉住鈴兒到一邊壓低聲線說:「喂,你唔係要勸佢返去嘅咩!你咁講咪搞到佢唔想返去?」258Please respect copyright.PENANAJzD8wMKqI3
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOSCvR6v5nh
「我係要勸佢返去,唔係要呃佢返去。」鈴兒輕輕掙開我說,「平行世界多如恆河沙數,的確有佢成為出色攝影師嘅未來,但未來唔只呢一個。過程中任何一個變因唔同咗,可能快門撳慢咗,可能去錯咗地方影相,呢個未來就唔會成真。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAj7rJbmgHQS
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQApImhjCq6
我回首高聲反駁鈴兒:「唔,唔使理鈴兒㗎!愛莉,我頭先睇過你嘅相,的確係影得好好!只要你返去繼續努力,呢個未來……呢個登上舞台嘅你,就一定會係你本人!」258Please respect copyright.PENANAy4BPq09quJ
258Please respect copyright.PENANATB96fLRuMX
怎能給她看這樣美好的未來後又說這不一定是你,太打擊人了!甚麼成真不成真先別說,至少要鼓勵愛莉願望離開……258Please respect copyright.PENANA4IGkGwdHiS
258Please respect copyright.PENANAfQl1234ttH
「阿柏,唔緊要㗎,鈴兒亦帶我睇過其他未來。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAAGMtQgeNkZ
258Please respect copyright.PENANA6UlCxBodB9
「咦?」258Please respect copyright.PENANAOSLt2O30H0
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqA9gKVvrxL
「只係呢個未來太美好,我先三番四次叫鈴兒帶我嚟睇。」愛莉幽幽地說。258Please respect copyright.PENANATavvXEkUx0
258Please respect copyright.PENANAeJdBuifGtk
「睇過……其他未來……」258Please respect copyright.PENANAns30LORzqY
258Please respect copyright.PENANA69hxq1uZZn
那麼說,其他的未來之中愛莉終其一生也只是…258Please respect copyright.PENANArK9WwXkAMd
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgcfwakv3Ek
「其實大部分未來,我都係平庸一生,呢個咁成功嘅我,只係極少數例子。」愛莉看著台上向眾人介紹得獎相片的自己,眼中百感交雜。258Please respect copyright.PENANAl2G4MKqmdq
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdNfczjw5QQ
明明美好的將來就在自己眼前,卻是如此遙不可及。258Please respect copyright.PENANA9RnPWp9D6x
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbXmgieq9rY
「全職影相?離開阡迴旅館後如果我唔返呢份工,我連租都交唔起,點全職影相?更加唔好話可以好似佢咁……好似呢個我咁靠影相名成利就。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAVcgEpqxuJN
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0kHc3rNgb8
台上的愛莉,這樣近。258Please respect copyright.PENANA0RNAZlCbBN
258Please respect copyright.PENANATgrNYhwMRI
台上的愛莉,卻是這樣遙遠。258Please respect copyright.PENANAxssrZUGOWj
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3WznU2vlBr
「愛莉,對唔住,我只可以帶你睇未來,但我都唔知點做先可以到達呢個未來。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAKLIevf1qo4
258Please respect copyright.PENANAqfkyd8BcvE
愛莉先是一楞然後說:「你唔使道歉,成日要你帶我嚟睇,係我唔啱至真……」258Please respect copyright.PENANAwpSLauLnkT
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAXROjxwOkc
「但係留係阡迴旅館之中,呢個未來永遠,絕對唔會成真。」鈴兒沉聲凝重地說。258Please respect copyright.PENANAFBxYiy30y6
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXsyp3QVyFh
「……」愛莉輕咬下唇。258Please respect copyright.PENANAcBiA4aWzGR
258Please respect copyright.PENANArwGzZ8hvfr
「阡迴旅館你想留幾耐都無問題,你想我帶你嚟睇呢個未來幾多次都無問題,但係只要你留係阡迴旅館之中,台上面個嗰人永遠唔會係你。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAlX1mhYi4kH
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAmgp1RyWzt
鈴兒用手搭著愛莉的肩膊說。258Please respect copyright.PENANAh3WxQlrUpt
258Please respect copyright.PENANAr3RaPE3twz
「的確返出去後生活好困難,但阡迴旅館之中嘅時間係停滯,只係留係個度——就咩都唔會成就到。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAr9gBd0AEyJ
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgRqGJbibpZ
愛莉的身體顫抖了一下,如電流穿過其柔弱的身體。258Please respect copyright.PENANAhOkXxhJqqM
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkHx1x6Bctz
「呢個未來……每一個未來,都只係一個可能性。有一句話你有無聽過?未來最好之處就係仲未來,令呢個未來成真嘅機會或者唔高,但永遠留係阡迴旅館之中,呢個未來成真嘅機會永遠都係零。」258Please respect copyright.PENANA8AEPiUiTsU
258Please respect copyright.PENANARHiyNKYcC2
「……」258Please respect copyright.PENANAyJBFUsuE3K
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8tYZ3VpK8O
鈴兒輕輕給愛莉一個擁抱,把她拉入胸前,低頭以耳語低聲道:「再睇多陣喇。無論幾多次,想睇幾耐,我都可以陪你喔,愛莉。」258Please respect copyright.PENANANZVv6yHLus
258Please respect copyright.PENANAr1m5AgSdtc
臉上盡是忐忑的愛莉閉上眼點點頭,然後站直身子:「多謝你,鈴兒。」258Please respect copyright.PENANA7aBCbXEewa
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaZpjS7nQOX
治癒人心的大姐姐……鈴兒與愛莉關係很好呢。258Please respect copyright.PENANAGeoRIczMRh
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbn3ZlFJaYf
我不禁望向愛莉,她眼中閃閃生輝,如初離開洞窟的人首次抬頭仰望無垠的星海,繁星倒映在瞳孔中,如同現在台上的鎂光燈倒映在愛莉的眼內。258Please respect copyright.PENANAeuCTGu9QR3
258Please respect copyright.PENANAJpG1DSphT2
如此璀璨,如此觸挔可及,又如此遠在天邊。258Please respect copyright.PENANAE5kXvcmCaq
258Please respect copyright.PENANA5FiElHs2bI
「……都多謝你,阿柏。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAzCzV5XqB6y
258Please respect copyright.PENANAWhZM2ySp70
「只係唔知幾時變出嚟嘅手巾仔,唔使客氣。」258Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iy53567JL
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjuFIPqACC2
我們默默在晚宴的現場看畢整場頒獎典禮,過程中我始終注意著愛莉的表情。眉頭緊皺,輕咬下唇,眼泛淚光,時而隨眾人歡呼一同鼓掌,時而緊握拳頭凝視著與王子殿下訪談的那個自己。258Please respect copyright.PENANAEqzAyjWisL
258Please respect copyright.PENANAFQqjIXOFDf
燈光亮起,晚宴告一段落。258Please respect copyright.PENANAk6eMtJUkzK
258Please respect copyright.PENANAPlupcTnMWb
我相信她有了決定。258Please respect copyright.PENANAntFK6g34LF
258Please respect copyright.PENANAy4vrVZVJD3
「愛莉已經睇咗呢個未來好多次,每次睇,我都會講同一番說話,但佢始終決定繼續留返係阡迴旅館。」鈴兒壓下聲線道。258Please respect copyright.PENANAysbwSMcDk7
258Please respect copyright.PENANAmNufVIGFig
「如果佢走,你捨唔捨得佢?」我問。258Please respect copyright.PENANAtSNy80MnCj
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxtOPgjd7iu
「梗係唔捨得,但我更想佢可以返去,阡迴旅館之中除左停滯就乜都無。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAnS8kwsQuNx
258Please respect copyright.PENANAapjRfxifvV
眾人開始散去,一直表情凝重的愛莉終於放鬆下來:「我地返去喇。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAsWiCy8kl1I
258Please respect copyright.PENANAONSKaB812b
「嗯,幾時想再睇隨時同我講。」258Please respect copyright.PENANArLdAO49Dnq
258Please respect copyright.PENANA8k6EPwyArM
「……唔知仲會唔會再睇。」258Please respect copyright.PENANA4UQHohtg2K
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZxT3rVFV7
愛莉這回答就很值得細味了。258Please respect copyright.PENANAQtZIfcgv7f
258Please respect copyright.PENANAl7puKUWy88
鈴兒結出手印轉身,她頭上的風鈴髮飾再次隨她步伐響起鈴聲,是在傾聽迴音的來源嗎?258Please respect copyright.PENANAadkqMqTdD6
258Please respect copyright.PENANAV38DTtAC0i
「好似係呢邊。」我望向右前方的一扇門,畢竟我方向感很好,一聽就知道鈴聲的來源了。258Please respect copyright.PENANAUtVXznIMLd
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyAAWikUvCX
「…阿…阿柏?」鈴兒回首望我。258Please respect copyright.PENANA4U1Egcy5CR
258Please respect copyright.PENANAOpYjS0gPGF
「做咩?」258Please respect copyright.PENANA52e04E3sdO
258Please respect copyright.PENANAGRWfVfhODb
她卻是神色有異地吞一吞口水:「返…返去再講。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAtMxwS5XxqD
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUUB4OnMYz1
穿過散席的人潮,這個平行宇宙中的人還是熱愛自拍打卡,特別是這場活動來賓或多或少都是攝影師吧。258Please respect copyright.PENANAGse0sOL580
258Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zwt2sJNSL
按鈴兒所說,身在平行宇宙的我們擁有實體,鏡頭亦會拍到我們,但我們的存在感近乎零,只會如背景路人一般融入到這世界之中,而且即使干涉到這邊,因為只是某個未來的可能性,也不會影響我們本來的時間軸云云……258Please respect copyright.PENANAl1LHb3qvlx
258Please respect copyright.PENANAM9AqUlmBa2
鈴兒長篇大論起來也很可怕。258Please respect copyright.PENANAn63smr0Fzo
258Please respect copyright.PENANACN8c1HpnFO
默默地穿過人潮的我們走向阡迴之門,門的後方就是阡迴旅館。風鈴的殘響每隔幾步就似有還無地泛起,提示著我們回去的方向——258Please respect copyright.PENANAUCdOcT7slo
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0HFYssaBfw
「溫年柏。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAh3e8xlCZwl
258Please respect copyright.PENANAjiHlGuVdET
「咦?」258Please respect copyright.PENANAoXEobbRx5F
258Please respect copyright.PENANAArIUHzWB6F
在這平行世界之中,為甚麼會有人叫喚我的名字?258Please respect copyright.PENANAvD6WyvEaaK
258Please respect copyright.PENANASDXaFzl955
如同那天迷途誤入阡迴旅館般,我又是下意識地回首查看,卻沒有看到認識的人。258Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQ8oQgv5R
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMrKCSGKa7q
幻聽?258Please respect copyright.PENANAkJZELCA8Iy
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0rhTRITll1
打算繼續往前走的我,卻突然發現鈴兒與愛莉已經穿過了阡迴之門。258Please respect copyright.PENANAnhF84N0R5n
258Please respect copyright.PENANAWhW9bywP9L
「喂等埋!等埋我啊鈴兒!!」258Please respect copyright.PENANAyM3JGwKQRx
258Please respect copyright.PENANAgEh03s5W2q
衝開幾個人的我急步往前,捉住門柄猛然推開!258Please respect copyright.PENANAsoxoUHkgOR
258Please respect copyright.PENANAdnupgX7jWh
「先生,你無事嘛?」258Please respect copyright.PENANAZrtZ4snOVh
258Please respect copyright.PENANAKv1VziCYMO
門外是酒店的大堂,只有滿是來賓簽名的布景板和紅地毯,一名路過的侍者看著狼狽的我問道。258Please respect copyright.PENANAeQL1I7qkwi
258Please respect copyright.PENANAVNH6axXlbl
「……唔好意思,我以為係洗手間。」258Please respect copyright.PENANAdnP9QuHwIw
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzLn6CdfTDG
糟糕了。258Please respect copyright.PENANAoVzr347iur
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUhGOZGCndW
「洗手間係個邊。」他指向遠方的一扇門。258Please respect copyright.PENANAunn59zVB1z
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXXLbQQSS6Y
「唔該。」258Please respect copyright.PENANADWZselbvD7
258Please respect copyright.PENANAaL1jaUpFnx
糟糕糟糕糟糕,現在是甚麼情況?我與鈴兒走失,被遺下了在平行世界了?!258Please respect copyright.PENANA4DFZB1BTyU
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnmoCAWqRC6
對了,隨意門!258Please respect copyright.PENANAwrm7QkWjyR
258Please respect copyright.PENANAevUdPpZ39K
回去阡迴旅館,回去阡迴旅館,回去阡迴旅館!我在心中重覆默念著這想法,然後握住洗手間的門柄推開!258Please respect copyright.PENANAorMdDThe5m
258Please respect copyright.PENANASEoM2ojBhj
就普通的洗手間。258Please respect copyright.PENANALA5GmpRQBo
258Please respect copyright.PENANAB91uhGGccH
「啊啊大獲!!」258Please respect copyright.PENANAdxUVXBuI0y
258Please respect copyright.PENANAV3MmXoxXdY
先解放,再冷靜下來吧。
