愛莉的真名自然不是愛莉，如她所言她是個攝影師。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNq0hrCRu8
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpwdvz4KRg
但準確來說，是前攝影師。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY55pfnu4Hd
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTADjM2PR8
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8oejqsJG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGPAzj73tB
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk8VeCeLZK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvyIEKqPrx
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaa5T9yFMu
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7KFXM9Hu3
「好靚係唔係？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uw6nFDKtN
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GIBB70ALH
我看著相片中的鈴兒說：「嗯，好靚。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcQo3EdXW5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILcBg9UG7g
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJAqkR10QG
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYHzS9FQH9
「吓，會計？咁咪完全唔關事……」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4BJdnM9l
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1uRWxhc65
「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……」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJuZlCbiXv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnhx7VpiY
我輕咬下唇：「我好明白……大家生活都唔易。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimNHvhLMYk
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMf6BuxzZK
「但佢真係好鐘意影相，咁嘅生活……佢根本無返去嘅理由。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3jlrJb1K3
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7L0nOKRZb
「返去嘅理由…」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGyOknPBaN
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZhgxAhUT2
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7UaLa3x6Y
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPENTYDCgu
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm8ZYXAlcD
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddS7eBI8L5
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBosOgmcoHI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViWhb3AVCr
我心中一沉。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6RRkMhEZ1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLrnVKEcF5
因為我意識到阡迴旅館的限制了。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKCUcJzBgd
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPRRJv7XcF
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPguNiaHd3
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjowvU3tuF
只要留在這兒，愛莉永遠沒法成為攝影師。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWRFqU0WY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcdBPHbOvV
只要留在這兒，我也永遠沒法……312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVOJekWxcp
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9coedvlA
「唔好意思，遲咗。」旁邊的門打開，愛莉穿過門到達大堂。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorWZm9IaWD
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEzbPLFD3
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiojF1J4jpH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0y3IdrRF3
「我始終想再睇多次。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD4tZQjz2A
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB3Bye3uAO
「睇幾多次都可以喔。」鈴兒說，「嚟，我邊行邊講你知，阿柏。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu5323jtwv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAax9CCI6EN
「哦…哦好！」我唯唯諾諾跟上。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS53HWokzkZ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchuJjncUBE
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…？312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpnw5G5ea
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw9WIRFWXA
甚麼跟甚麼。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uOaewYhxE
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzCq0vXFMx
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqbrMTUHl
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcd5YNcV5L
這時我突然發現鈴兒修長的玉掌結出了一個手印。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMLvz6cXA5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IJ5ffFN3m
「例如——」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBCwVMH0bs
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4DYbGPwXt
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFcpQSl0aR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHW6ETDdM9
「叮鈴……叮鈴……」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOCgjZPJ4S
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljFQYv98m
鈴兒閉上眼，如同傾聽著風鈴在天井之中激起的迴音。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUG2hcVLu4
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qPs2Nptv4
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Qvr1T7zt
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxfzbSdqjY
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDBWJe4Fa7
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetWkPlKMq
「你睇呢道門。」鈴兒說。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpk7qHXlQV
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NU6AONX4n
「Hall 2B？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XhNDmSt2
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N23pmPJ1T
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」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcJ5nZuHSm
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLJy1WcjFr
「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？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovj58mjJZV
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXLHEnaN6
我點點頭：「嗯。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicFNyUUPV1
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekxQJLGY0r
「唔係問你喇阿柏，我問緊愛莉。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2PC0EfQkq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErS778SxZN
愛莉失笑：「我準備好。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGZ7nXTKI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q0BBbN3tE
甚麼嘛，她還是會笑的。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9IHUXhnt
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5QI3cKNHc
「嘎——」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVORi6Mxs
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Vjfmlwzz
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！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfFOz7oQBS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWN9kJHjcu
「呢度……！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFcGqNsGHj
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BlpbigPbl
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcRLaVP2SN
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXGbem23e
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……312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEYy4Hrhwm
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV4gVZwgwi
「咦？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZczMibSx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj37dznDNXQ
低頭一看，我身上不知何時都換上了寶藍色的西裝和皮鞋。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kBCczPstH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEAei9FBPi
「幾襯你啊，阿柏。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIcSLHPH1F
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQZusd44Qa
「多謝……你地都…我地幾時換埋衫？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe58ptXdBuq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIT55QBKx6
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeaUjoGtTT
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzVaCq5Zvp
「始終係嚟呢種場合嘛。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa2AeTxtiD
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW58954n7C
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOOyVsxmks
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yNRIPlSA
「呢度係……」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGUrsDJN6T
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMPTTVIRXC
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmWDc7tnUX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf1BHUI9IW
「等陣先！個年份係唔係寫錯？！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78eVP34yRV
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJYhpfNhO
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AB2f2yY5P
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl6qmEr7aM
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXHUoAZK0i
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ib0lOHob
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1udbElMO88
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHVMmBrzB
就在那瞬間，我看到了。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaVZG7Xy5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQN5ZpD42A
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！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh7HEu9ZBM
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezVGhLzp4C
這就是鈴兒口中說的「未來」！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxson8EJDp
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFVds7Axmo
「鈴兒，我地坐邊？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2krFmFB7b
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0gHzslJyz
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？312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVtQ73IKjp
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrhnuEVCE
「我地行呢邊。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KkawpVHpY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCae2SVici8
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkUelydeYz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0EIlK2wm1
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！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjOGdsWZ1u
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxgPpj8s1B
「嘎——」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd283whGtaX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcshHSYJuf1
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！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIURMWYUwL
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexyV3sReg
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ONyhUX4OS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrUMh77Oo1
這邊的年長愛莉衣服變了，身邊的丈夫也換了一個人！312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD4fHELPnS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsxify8uwS
「呢度已經係另一個平行宇宙。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6L7rY1TH0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z6JYdwhpM
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYe3lBYz24
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq0zzSG1FJ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXG373p7rt
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvTw2CYPui
年長愛莉的衣服再次改變，身邊變成了一個較年青的男生。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusTAMkthKS
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiLoOQ4GQ
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SJ5TYjzR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUZI8oy2ac
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZiaFhDmQv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQsNZEMi5
但唯有那一句不變。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq6uprICDq
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9ICC3DAI
「得獎者係，來自香港嘅愛莉女士！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFo6vs207z
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKlZ4fr6i
終於我們停下腳步，駐足於這個平行宇宙之中。
