「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfgFy1gmnk
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA55Cs67txb
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAso0G2mYB
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GBg9JuBH
「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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq60cy1hAr
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDACYKroJn
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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLbNriOHSp
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtRokFSb34
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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9b9gFQ9l
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA5frVsNMA
沒法子。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjLzkb9olW
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SijRQvcTv
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！644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv93X6KQJp
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcDOXquDgB
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLneZLVORY8
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG74iklrcS
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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOJbBXFe1z

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZIYUnldF
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0kNjcEK8
「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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWKylbnTZH
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqFWuUh5q2
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。」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBuEhG8PGP
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwvx03QFYX
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23LXIrDFUU
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsqbCqBbzG
「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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8D8PRRHQ5
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LBK4VXFsg
「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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifHnWTvrtb
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkAbfKBN7c
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmM6qJyHGE
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGz8a3j8HI
「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！」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bWTeqZWTJ
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbDhmf35Vm
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCb7OKMH3
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaLh4Mftgl
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM89JjYrbN
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVc61ETWT0
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKIDp8Uy6u
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvgeCB4TQy
「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。」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsgMvan5o
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU5JdAJ4I1
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmguyz0Pqj
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wEeiEF5hX
「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？644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOIjFJRxs
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9wbP8E69
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQjs41OyGq
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsutvyDcqI6
「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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKIysGuKP8
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZqKb0ixX
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9G0emqUFN
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFtfuHrqB0
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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAQjB1WbZg
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeE6jTX4Z5
像虛擬世界。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KBUDf6fpX
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KA1sbh1v
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUcZNl1M7
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD09stEyoX
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFyKBslOxF
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBnrwcRO66
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv2nBWd5V1
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyfCeE5usx
店外，夜色蒼茫。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhcyQpYgRo
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZltOhX1zrb
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。644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtPWMyQUN4
644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbc0Om9IW
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。
