「不要走。」她緊緊擁著我，微微抬首，熱淚盈眶。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWULDnVDgif
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyR78L4rHr
「別這樣。」我口裡拒絕，心裡卻是萬般不捨。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5V1s7e7VJ
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViK6oVb8Lj
「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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa3b3dAZPS
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOeCPGMdav
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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg05ZEGVUP
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ysGYGirv
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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCvqOYBlAd
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYcNu6La8u
沒法子。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MV4lwRbbF
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJSEf7nGGq
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！669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivhuHjwlF
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFqCJX53Q8
「對不起……」沒等她們再次開口，我斷然脫下頭盔，離開虛擬世界。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Ug5rRuBb
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uDYIzlqAr
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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6IP7s0xr

店員大叔數秒後硬闖入內，見我神智尚算清醒，才鬆一口氣。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC8jteZJHJ
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1XP0qFCzC
「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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrekGQhllM
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF6iOnViRe
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。」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mjpNsUxex
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyE3u11dfd
不知何解，大叔突然愣住。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLWNhbcBb
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ5BH1dbqB
「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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav3aiCR9fT
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqpwAiJ1T
「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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRentkKgu6
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGWy0ntEGi
熱力令我清醒不少，但隨之而來的卻是劇烈頭痛。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7MOdWOM0
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSliPRwQRe
「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！」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTQwWfK69
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsgV7L79HV
「不得不走。」我心如刀割：「我擔心自己會永遠沉溺。」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInhSogyj6C
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yjGX0Ge6O
「親人離世？」大叔夾菸的兩指故態自若。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tq03loXbA
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMJqh2R3y
「你看得出來？」我忍痛瞇眼打量大叔。他是個面容滄桑的大漢。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgaRl2UWRp
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ185Uix3sZQ
「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。」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wRd4p1JyY
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5uZe6PPrJ
「所以我不該感到悲傷？」我聽見話裡的話。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQcEkUndKg
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlFXMeRXw
「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？669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqajWce4Us
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6BmcQFdXA
「我不是他們！他們亦不是我！」我有點兒憤怒。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgSc9MRDN
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCalxc0g06
「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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbTEhoc7Jh
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx333r7IBAm
我接過香菸，將它玩弄於指間。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Qffpr2NY
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVe6XxA8Nf
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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl37xrx8GW
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUovg2OSye
像虛擬世界。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszZPYvIyZe
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUOZJoW1BC
「這個……」我放下香菸，掏出銀包裡所有紙鈔予大叔：「謝謝。」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3uzG7WDuS
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JSUOfiGRo
大叔欣然收下，俏皮笑道：「後會無期。」669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBXBYg31PP
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAqIoxQen
「承你貴言。」我頭痛依然，心痛冉退。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleA8MSXO7W
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiuLGQygtR
店外，夜色蒼茫。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGsu2PuaD
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Jb0Vvaea
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。669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGlszecc9I
669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCYvALXk9b
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。
