[Comprehensive film and television] The formula of perfume

【Adele】

I don't know why these days, but when I wake up in the morning, I always feel sore in my neck and shoulders, as if I've been pressed by something.

Early in the morning, the boy from the shop on King Street hurried over to the apartment and rang the bell: "Miss Adele, it's terrible!"

I was twisting my neck and loosening my muscles, and I was taken aback by his breathless words. I thought that our perfume had something wrong, or that we had offended someone and it was seized. In the worst case, I even thought about the possibility of going to jail.

"It's so long, so long! They all want to buy our perfume!" The boy gasped, probably because he ran so hard that his face was as white as paper.

Buy perfume?This is a good thing, I am relieved, thanks to Lester's help, as soon as the perfumes are put out these days, they are sold immediately, because the supply exceeds the demand, and the pre-order business has also been opened.In my spare time, I checked the order. Of course, the identity of the person who made the reservation is needless to say. What makes me happy is that the order has been scheduled for the next month.

But the supply is still in short supply. I didn't expect that today there would be a long queue to buy just for a bottle of perfume. The madness of the Parisians really exceeded my expectations.I handed the panicked boy a glass of water: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"I heard that Countess Polly used Mr. Grenouille's perfume at the Queen's dinner yesterday. The Queen likes the smell and design of the perfume, so, so..." The boy was very excited, but he still couldn't catch his breath.

I probably understand.

"Those who came here are all servants, right? Tell them the address of our apartment, make an appointment according to the order of the queue, two guests per day, we tailor-made perfumes for the ladies and ladies, and give them along with the formula. Of course, The price will be more expensive, and it is guaranteed to be a fragrance that is not available in Paris at present, if you are not satisfied, you can not use it.”

The boy's eyes sparkled: "Sounds good, it's the same as those designers who make tailor-made high-end clothes! I believe it won't take too long for us to be able... Ah, Mr. Grenouille!" The boy said half of the sentence Stopped, bowed to the corridor with a happy face, Jean was walking from that direction, he hadn't spoken to this little guy at all, but somehow he had his first brainless fan.

"Yes, yes, I met the postman at the door, and I brought this to you by the way." The boy frantically took out a pure black letterhead from his pocket and handed it over.

Black envelope, red ink, crooked, awkward-looking handwriting, addressed to "Adele, Leicester, Grenouille".

Such a special appearance was given to the three of us, except Mr. Ghost in the theater, who didn't think about it.After seeing off the boy, I opened the envelope, and there were three theater tickets inside, and the show will be on tonight——

"Interview with the Vampire".

It seems to be a coincidence, but also seems to be destined, Eric actually used this name.

But what surprised me even more was behind.

"Box No. [-], isn't that his exclusive seat?" I was surprised and even a little flattered.It seems that the secrets of chasing women taught by Lester are very effective, which makes him be very kind to us and even invite us to his special box?

"Only three tickets?" Lester's voice floated out like a ghost. In the daytime, his room would be drawn with thick curtains that could not let in any light at all. At this time, he stood in that room and We were talking, and from my vantage point, the only thing I could see were his greenish blue eyes with pupils erect, like a cat's.

He had probably slept for a while, so he spoke with a strong nasal voice: "You only give us three? I have a large group of guys who need to be invited."

He often goes out at night these days, and the result is that he meets a group of old vampires hiding in an old theater in Paris. I don’t know how he gained their trust, and he got along like a fish in water, and they didn’t realize that he was living with humans. fact.

The only thing I'm sure of is that he's not hunting prey.

"Mr. Phantom gave us the best seat in Box No. [-]. Those vampires...you must pay for it yourself," I laughed, "But they are not the most important, what do you want? Bring Louie and Claudia over here? Like Mr. Ghost and drop theater tickets directly in front of their doors?"

"Oh, no, of course you don't need to be so troublesome, heh..." Lester smiled lowly, his deep voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was because of excitement, I even felt his voice trembling: "My good friend Louis, and our little cutie Claudia, they're going to be with those vampires. What a coincidence, isn't it? Just yesterday, they were spotted by those guys too."

"Thinking about it this way, the People's Opera House tonight will be very dangerous," Lester murmured, with a chilling smile, "but it will also be very, very interesting, won't it?"

I know that he has been waiting for this moment for a long time, taking risks and painstakingly to get close to the large group of vampires, just to watch a good show at the People's Opera House today.

It's time for the flames of hatred to vent.

I shook Grenouille's hand with a smile, and looked up at him: "It seems that we must all dress up tonight, so as not to embarrass Leicester."

"Oh, of course, my little angel, Adele," Lester chuckled, "make yourself beautiful, and you need to put on a good show."

【Jean Grenouille】

The lights of the opera house are bright at night, and the gorgeous interior dazzles my eyes, but fortunately, I am already familiar with the structure here, and I can easily reach Box No. [-] through a secret door.

There was no one in the box, and the phantom was not there. The usher in box No. [-] just looked at us strangely, and I don’t know why.

Two small binoculars have been set up in the box, and the whole audience can be observed by us if we wish.

"Mr. Phantom is very caring, "Interview with the Vampire" is about to start in 5 minutes, right?" Adele sighed, she was still rubbing her neck and shoulders after she sat down.

"Is it still sour?" I asked softly, afraid that the loud voice would make her feel guilty in my tone.

"Well, there is still a little bit, maybe I have a stiff neck recently," Adele turned her head and smiled at me, "Jean, can you pinch it for me, anyway, it won't start in 5 minutes!"

"Okay, okay..." Her smile was bright, and she had no doubts about me at all. I tried my best not to tremble in my voice, and carefully pressed my hand on her shoulder, lightening the strength, and then lightening it slowly. Knead slowly.

Her bones are so petite, it feels like two palms can cover her shoulders completely, and it will shatter if squeezed again, I dare not use force at all, I am afraid that it will hurt her.

"Jean, your strength is just right, great!" She praised me so much.

"Heh, Adele, your neck and shoulders are always sore lately?" Lester, who was sitting in front of the telescope, turned his head and looked at me with a half-smile: "Maybe it's a ghost pressing the bed?"

I had to be thankful that all the lights in the theater were suddenly extinguished at this time, only the lights on the stage were brighter, the curtain was drawn, and the opera began.Lester no longer had time for jokes or outright debunking of me, and he turned his attention to the opera—an opera born of his own experience.

It opens with a young blond nobleman singing.

I don't have much interest in these exaggerated singing and performances, but tonight in this opera house, the sudden appearance of many, many vampire smells makes me a little interesting.

They smell equally bad, but the smell of different vampires is still different, and some are more disgusting. I guess this may be due to drinking too much human blood, or living too long.

In addition, I also found the two vampires with the smell of Leicester. They were sitting in box No.17 with another vampire with a very strange and unpleasant smell. We are on the second floor, and they are on the third floor. The location is very coincidental , just to our upper right, their faces can be seen through the binoculars.

"Grenouille, did you find them?" The plot played to Lester changing the little girl, but Lester seemed to be more interested in what I found, his eyes flashed dangerously in the dark , subconsciously licked his lips, and showed his sharp fangs that he rarely showed in front of us: "Tell me, where are my two good friends?"

"Box NO.17." While I was speaking, someone handed me a telescope. It was Phantom who came. I was not surprised, I had already smelled his scent.

"Welcome, Mr. Phantom." Lester gave him a very rare friendly smile.

"Don't get me wrong, this was originally my box."

"Then I am very grateful for your invitation, my honorable Phantom Lord." Lester put down the binoculars, took off his hat, and gracefully bowed slightly towards the Phantom, performing a gentleman's salute. When he looked up, I found that his eyes were completely It turned into a vertical pupil, and half of the elongated fangs were exposed.

"He was excited to see them," Adele told me softly.

I raised the binoculars unskillfully and looked towards the NO.17 box.

At this time, the drama on the stage has probably played out to the point that Claudia wants to grow up.Just at this time, I saw that young vampire through the binoculars.

She looked only eight or nine years old, her skin was smooth and fair without any blemishes, her face was slightly round, and her eyes were big.She was wearing a very pretty blue tutu and a decorated top hat slanted over her blond curls, staring intently at the stage.

Although she wore perfume, it couldn't cover the bad smell on her body, it was very bad.

I hate the smell, I hate her.

"She's tugging at her skirt, she can tell, this opera tells her story," Adele commented softly, and I noticed the joy in her tone, "And Louis, Lester, look , he stood up! He wants to take Claudia out of here!"

I turned the binoculars to the man next to the little girl. He was a tall man with flowing blond hair flowing down his head, wearing a very decent dress, and he seemed very melancholy.At this moment, he stood up suddenly, trying to pull Claudia away, but Claudia struggled violently in his arms.

"I'm not leaving! Louis! Why do you want to leave! I want to finish watching this opera!" Suddenly, the voice from box No.17 came over without hindrance.

"It's a small matter." The phantom standing in the shadow said relaxedly.

"Claudia! Be good! You are too emotional to watch this kind of opera!"

"I don't! I want to know what the hell he's doing, he's not dead, he's not dead! He's in this theater, Louie, and we must find him, find him!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about," another man's voice cut in. Compared with the panicked two people, he seemed very calm, "Who do you want to find?"

"Amon, please, don't ask so many questions," Louis took a deep breath, and it was amazing that such a slight voice could be heard clearly, "We have to go first, Claudia is tired, sorry."

"No! I'm not! I'm not tired at all! Louie, Louie, let me go! Let me go!"

"Tsk, how can you leave early before you finish watching the show?" Lester suddenly sighed, as if he really cared about the child's father: "It's a pity that Claudia is still so naughty and willful, and she hasn't improved at all. "

"Mr. Phantom?" Adele glanced lightly at the masked ghost behind her.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will do it," he said lightly, as if he also liked watching such scenes, "No one can leave my opera house without seeing the curtain call in its entirety."
