[Comprehensive film and television] The formula of perfume

【Adele】

The grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the wind blowing in front of me was a bit cold. I tied the horse under a tree and stopped to rest.

I opened the water bag, took a sip, and when I put the water bag, I turned around. Not far from my carriage, a black and thin figure quickly hid behind a tree on the side of the road behind me, but the tree was so thin, even He is also like a bamboo pole, but at least he is better than that tree.

Grenouille has been following me like this for four or five days, without making a sound, without disturbing me, but as long as I turn around when I rest, he will always be there, either behind the stones, in the grass, or behind such trees .

The speed of the carriage was faster than his feet, but I knew that I could not see him for a while, and he was still on his way when I rested, and he would not stop until I followed.

I couldn't help but sighed.

To be honest, my mood is not as chaotic as it was when I ran out of Grasse, and my resistance to Grenouille is no longer so strong.He followed me almost without sleep, drank some dew when he was thirsty, and ate worms when he was hungry. His life was worse than the days when he lived in seclusion on the mountain.

Now I'm not only out of breath, I even feel a little guilty.I was the chief culprit who tortured him until he was neither human nor ghost.

"Grenouille, don't follow me anymore, just do what you want." I couldn't help but open my mouth. In fact, I said this many times along the way, but he never responded to me.

This time was the same, he hid behind the tree, only showing one eye, which was shining and clear, looking at me timidly: "It's Rang."

Stubbornly correcting my address to him, perhaps his only response to me?

I had enough rest and decided to continue on my way. The further the carriage drove, the shorter the time it would take to get rid of him, but I couldn't bear it. Ever since I found out that he was following me persistently, I have been in this contradictory state of mind .

But today I made a different decision. I want to walk in the middle of the night when everything is sleeping. Grenouille's nose has a limited range of sniffing. If I go too far, he won't be able to find me.

If... If he can still come this time, then I will let him get in the carriage and walk with me.I swear to myself so.

Grenouille had no idea how shocking the crime he had committed was. He had no concept, but I had a concept, but I still felt so sympathetic to him and soft-hearted to him, and I felt that I was abnormal too.

Usually when the sun goes down, I don’t go on my way any more. I didn’t meet a temporary village today, so I can only rest in a wild carriage. In fact, this is to make it easier for me to sneak away from Grenouille in the middle of the night, but I don’t think he will Know.

He was just ten meters behind my carriage, leaning against a tree trunk, sound asleep.

After following me like this for six days, he must be exhausted.

At two o'clock in the morning, the moon was hollow, I tried my best to resist the urge to cover him with a quilt, and quietly drove away in the carriage.

Those residual memories that may be from my previous life told me that if I walk too much at night, I will always meet ghosts.

If you count the night walks I walked with Grenouille before, then I have indeed walked a lot, so it is not surprising that I met a ghost today...

In order to get rid of the followers I had been following for a few days, I chose a remote path and needed to pass through a swamp.

The trees around this swamp were so thick that it was too dark even for moonlight to penetrate.When I was passing by, the clouds covered the moon, everything was very dark, I couldn't help but glanced there, but a pair of greenish blue eyes flashed in the dark swamp, almost made me crooked The reins steered the carriage into the swamp.

Is it... a wolf...?

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, something swooped over, so fast that a gust of wind blew up.The cold and sticky touch and the smelly swamp mud occupied my senses in an instant, and my body was clamped by the cold object. The person pressing on me seemed to be a person with astonishing strength. Those green blue eyes Eyes are the only thing I can see clearly.

In just a few seconds, I didn't realize that it was dangerous, and I didn't have time to scream. I already felt something terrible and sharp object touched my neck, a thin layer of skin, and it would bleed when I poked it. splash.

Do not!

I do not want!

"what!"

A burst of golden light lit up in front of my eyes, accompanied by screams, the pendant left by my mother on my chest suddenly glowed with heat, and under its golden light, I could clearly see the face of the guy who attacked me.

With thinning hair, rotting skin, and sharp fangs, it looked like a mummy crawling out of a grave.When I was stunned, the golden light slowly dissipated, and this creature that cannot be called a human rushed towards me again.

"Adele!"

"boom!"

The guy who was trying to attack me suddenly lost his movement and fell straight forward, face first.

The guy fell down, revealing Grenouille behind him holding a sturdy stick.

At this time the moon came out of the clouds again.

The fear that had not yet spread throughout the body has faded away like a tide.

Looking at Grenouille standing in front of me, I felt miraculously stable, as if he would always protect me.

"Adele, are you okay?" Grenouille looked at the guy who had collapsed on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly put the stick behind him.The moonlight made me see his expression clearly. He was looking at me timidly, as if he was afraid that I would blame him for using a stick.

Then I smell a somewhat familiar scent, very similar to what I smelled on my last day in Grasse.I was in a trance for a moment, but was soon awakened by the naked picture of tens of thousands of people on Grasse Square that came to my mind.

I frowned.

Although Grenouille looked harmless to humans and animals, I fully understood his huge lethality.

"Grenouille, you..."

"It's Jean." He interrupted hastily, correcting my address.

I was helpless: "Jean, did you put that perfume on your body?"

He nodded, his clear eyes looked at me expectantly: "That...uh... what do you think...?"

How do you even ask me?

How much I hate this heavenly perfume, doesn't he know?

I'm pretty sure he did it on purpose.

【Jean Grenouille】

Adele didn't have the expression I hoped for, intoxicated, admiring, and delighted...

She just frowned at me and commented curtly: "I don't like men wearing perfume, really."

I am stunned.

Then immediately feel depressed.

When I go to bed at night, I usually don’t dare to sleep too deeply. I am afraid that when I wake up, I will find that there is no smell of Adele in the wind. So tonight, she has not been away for a long time, and I have already noticed it. Chased after.

Adele has never been on the road at night, and during the day she still looks like nothing has happened, as usual, she rests when it gets dark.

Her special moves tonight are disturbing to me.

So when I followed her, I sprinkled a little perfume on my body.That's right, the same perfume that I showed everyone at Place de Grasse.

I hope it works.

At the very least, let her get closer to me, just a little bit. Of course, it’s best to pinch my nose, hug me from behind, and sleep on my lap like before.

I began to think wildly, when I suddenly smelled a strange smell, I was surprised to find that this smell was unknown, and I couldn't connect or associate it with any other smell.

It's so unique it's hard to describe in words.

But it doesn't smell good.

It has a faint fishy smell and is dangerous, very dangerous.

"Adele!" I yelled out.

fortunately!Fortunately, I arrived in time and gave this thing a hard stick. I believe that with my technique, I hit the back of its head precisely, and I would be able to kill it with one blow.

Adele stared at me blankly.

I couldn't help swallowing, I guess she was surprised by my appearance, maybe she didn't want to see me that much, although I didn't know why.

Then she called me by my first name, I didn't like it when she called me "Grenouille", it felt very alien, actually I didn't bother with a title before.But Adele used to call me "Jean" and only called me "Grenouille" when we first met, so I think she's calling me that now to distance myself from me.

Recently, my thinking has become a little weirdly sensitive, and I obviously didn't care about it before.

Anyway, I bravely corrected her.As a result, she asked me about the smell of perfume on my body, and she seemed not only not confused, but also disgusted.

I can't help being frustrated.

After I used this perfume once, I felt its limitations. The love and admiration it brings is based on its smell. When it evaporates and dissipates, everything should return to the original point.This is not the result I want, so I have been kicking it in my pocket, and finally decided to use it tonight, because the object is Adele, so I think it will be good if it only works for a while.

But she even said that she doesn't like men who wear perfume.

Oh, Grenouille, look at yourself, what else can you do besides distinguishing smells and making perfume?

But she doesn't like men using perfume!

This sentence simply negates half of my life.

"Don't use this perfume on me, you used to be fine, even if there is no smell...I feel good...Jean is still Jean."

When I was extremely depressed, Adele suddenly said this again.

I'm stunned again.

Even without the smell, am I still me?

why?

Adele seemed to see my doubts, she actually smiled and pulled me over: "You are here, but there is no smell, you are still here, you can really touch it, isn't that the case?"

I'm a little dizzy.

Are you sure it's not my perfume that's doing the trick?

I was so torn, I hoped that her sudden change of attitude was just because of me, but I also felt that it was impossible, and it must be because of the perfume.

"Get in the carriage," Adele pointed to me. "Since you have caught up with me, let's go together."

It was another huge surprise. I was so dazed that I couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"Yes, but I think we have to take it with us." Adele turned and pointed to the thing that fell to the ground.

This thing smells like I hate it, and it's been there since I hit it, isn't it dead?No matter what, I didn't want to bring this dangerous thing by Adele's side, and I was a little unhappy: "Why?"

"First, it is too dangerous. It will attack passers-by if placed here, and it will continue to do evil when it is full of blood. I think we should tie it into a coffin while it is unconscious. I want to try the power of my pendant." Adele pointed at me the pendant that had previously been able to automatically light up.

But my concern is not here: "Why tied in a coffin?"

"Because...if I'm not mistaken, this guy is a vampire, and a vampire in distress," Adele hid behind me, reaching out to fiddle with a long branch picked up by the roadside, "this second The reason..."

"What is it?" I asked.

Adele fiddled for a long time before answering me: "I think this vampire is like a mummy version of Tom Cruise. I just don't know what it looks like normally."

Tom Cruise, what's that?
