【Adele】

"Christine, didn't Eric tell you about us?" I pretended to be naive and looked at Christine curiously. Instead of answering her question, I asked her first.

She froze for a moment: "Well...not...Actually...I only found out about Eric a few days ago..."

"Did he tell you? Did you find it surprising that he lived under the opera house?"

"Yes, I was shocked. When he brought me here for the first time, he made me blindfolded. When I opened my eyes and saw the flowers floating down from the sky, I almost thought he brought me to heaven. How could I There is no way to connect the music angel with the theater ghost..." She lowered her head slightly, sighed softly, her beautiful big eyes were full of tears, and her expression was infinitely melancholy.

At this time, we had already walked out of the secret door, and the ground exit of the secret passage happened to be Christine's dressing room. Every time Eric taught Christine, he passed through this secret passage.

I also sighed with her: "Yes, you know, there is no way to do it, and he doesn't want to live underground..."

"No, no, I don't understand, he is so talented, why must he live underground and not communicate with anyone? He doesn't even let me see his true face," Christine covered her face and wept, "He Tell me that he was abandoned by his mother when he was very young, and was dragged around by a gypsy. .No one took him in, he was forced to live underground, no friends, no sunlight, damp and dark underground, oh my god... poor Eric..."

Christine is a pure and kind girl, I admit it, and she sympathizes with Eric from the bottom of her heart.

She covered her face with her hands and sighed, and my eyes fell on the gold ring on her left ring finger. It was given to her by Eric. I remember this episode. Eric threatened that she would not take it off.

"Do you love him?" I took her hand wearing the ring: "Eric gave it to you, right? You accepted it."

Christine's expression suddenly became flustered, she hastily withdrew her hand, and twirled the ring uneasily: "I, I don't know... When he gave it to me, I was in a daze, so I accepted it without thinking twice. Now, it seems that this ring is of great significance, but I was too hasty..."

She suddenly grabbed my hand: "Adele, are you Eric's friend? I thought Eric would have no friends. If you can go to the underground palace, you must have a good relationship. Tell me, Eric Ke still has a secret, doesn't he? Why is he wearing a mask all the time? And... What are you guys doing there tonight, I really heard someone screaming..."

She is really simple-minded, and she only chatted a few words with me along the way?He actually trusted me so much, and poured out all the doubts in his heart to me.

Christine makes me feel like a princess who needs to be cared for, pure and flawless, but also fragile.After meeting her, I suddenly felt that she would not be a good match for Eric. She might not be able to accept the cruel fact of Eric's disfigurement and extreme and withdrawn personality.

But Eric did love her.

He carefully didn't let her touch the mask, and didn't tell her the fact that he was ugly. He did try to create romance according to Lester's guidance, speaking softly to her, accommodating in every possible way, and careful not to scare her.

"Does it matter to you what Eric's face looks like behind the mask?" I asked her.

"No, of course not, I'm not someone who cares about looks," Christine shook her head again and again, clasped her hands and put them on her chest uneasily, with crystal teardrops still hanging on her long eyelashes, "I'm just...just worried ...he hides a lot from me, has a lot of secrets, I'm just worried..."

I guess it wasn't just because Eric was 5 minutes late for an appointment that she ran over today.

She was doubting, hesitating, and she wanted to say it but dared not, so she might still be a little scared.

For the first time, I had doubts about Lester's guidance strategy. I don't know what the face behind Eric's mask looks like, but I instinctively feel that this Chris who has become wary of Eric Ting, I'm afraid she can no longer be fooled by those little romantic tricks.

When she saw Eric's true face and learned everything about him, she might sympathize with him, but would she really love him?

—I have no confidence in that.

She is too fragile to weather the storm.From what I can see now, I don't see much love from her, but only melancholy and worry.

After thinking twice, I decided to open my mouth to save Eric: "Christine, from the standpoint of a friend, I can honestly say that Eric is really a very good person. He is very loyal and helped us a lot. And he is so talented, he is a magician, a playwright, a singer, a mechanic... He is almost omnipotent, the things he creates are very novel, and he can sing He sounds very good, we all like him very much. When we know that he has a beautiful sweetheart, we are all happy for him. His personality is a bit too withdrawn, and he needs a beautiful and gentle girlfriend like you. Soothe him and make him a little more gregarious."

I held her hand, blinked my big eyes, and tried to look sincere and happy: "Kristen, we all welcome you to Eric, you are his angel!"

"Thank you, thank you... I can't bear such an evaluation, I just, just..." Christine pulled her hand away awkwardly and flusteredly, avoiding my gaze. I was sensitive to the fact that she might be hiding some important things. thing.

When I was thinking about how to get the secret out of her mouth, the big mirror that let us go out of the secret passage suddenly rotated, and Lester walked out of it first, followed by Jean.

Eric didn't come out together.

What happened?

"Adele, it's time to go." Lester glanced at Christine lightly, with his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent. After a while, his attitude towards Christine changed dramatically.

I feel I need to ask privately what's going on.

"We have to go, Miss Christine," I said, smiling sweetly at her. "It was a pleasure talking to you tonight, and I hope to visit you next time I get a chance. Goodbye, Christine."

【Jean Grenouille】

Adele actually followed that strange woman without me.

I felt like a big stone was stuck in my chest, stuffy and I couldn't get it down.

Then, Lester told Eric the result of his mind reading, and the two of them immediately had a fight.

The battle was fierce, and I was responsible for standing by and watching.Although Eric was quite powerful in combat, his speed was not as fast as Lester's. He accidentally fell to the ground by Lester.

Great, let's go find Adele after the fight.

However, Lester didn't seem to be enjoying the fight. After knocking Eric down, he continued to make punches and cursed: "Idiot! Idiot! Living underground makes your brain rusty? I don't need to lie to you." , this girl doesn't like you at all, do you understand Eric! You..."

"click".

Lester used too much force, and Eric's white mask shattered from the middle and fell to the ground.

Eric's face, which had been hidden in the mask and cloak, was revealed.

Lester's cursing stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, as if he was dumbfounded.

Ugly, or nice?

I didn't even have to go forward, Eric punched Lester hard, knocked him to the ground, and then stood up on his own, so I could see his face from my vantage point.

Hmm... Sure enough, it's quite different from normal people.The facial features seemed to have been melted by fire, and the skin on the face was also clinging to the bones, pale and dry, like a layer of dead skin.

I'm not surprised, the information my sense of smell tells me is enough for me to describe such a face, and seeing the true face only completes some missing information.

Lester, who had been punched several times, stood there dumbfounded, and looked back at me slowly, as if he had a broken neck: "Hey, Jean, what do you think?"

what aboutI don't understand, look at him.

"I mean, Eric's face..." Lester pointed to Eric on the opposite side, and swallowed: "Although I was mentally prepared, this guy must not look very good, but he is so ugly, ugly It's so annoying, I really didn't expect it..."

Is it that exaggerated?I don't understand: "It's okay." Compared with the mummy face that Lester just climbed up from the swamp, there is not much difference, maybe this one is better, at least not as bad as Lester.

"It's, okay?" Lester shook his head while resting his forehead: "Adele said that you are very slow to visual things. I really believe it this time. You think it's okay to be so ugly?"

"Lester!" Eric came striding forward, his black cloak flew up, and punched Lester angrily three times: "Shut up! Shut up!"

"Hey, hey, calm down, you can't let people say you're ugly, I'm telling the truth," Lester ran around to avoid Eric's attack, "but it's still within the tolerable range, without wearing a mask We won't despise you for being ugly, at most we can't help but complain, right Grenouille?"

……It's not my business?

I think these two play really inexplicably, and it's a waste of time.

"Let's go up and find Adele." This is the only thing I want to do at the moment. She has been away from me for more than ten minutes. In this opera house full of organs, I feel that she will be in danger at any time.

Lester shrugged: "Okay, before that, we have to knock Louis out with medicine to make sure he won't wake up all day and night."

"I did this." I must hurry up and go up to see Adele.So while the two of them were fighting, I took out Louie quickly.

"Oh, that's great! Grenouille, thank you very much," Lester smiled, "Then let's go up quickly, Eric, and comfort your little lover, maybe there is a chance, but I don't think the chance is great .”

"Get out." Eric whispered a word from his throat.

He was really angry.

"Get out," he picked up the shattered mask from the ground, and said coldly, "Get out of my dungeon, or I will kill you next time we meet."

Lester finally stopped laughing, he was silent for a while, and said: "You can't kill us, Eric. If it's because I said something that slandered Christine that made you so angry, then I apologize—even though I said something True. If you're angry because we see what you look like, then it's really nothing. I've seen uglier ones. As for Grenouille, he only has a preference for smells. Didn't you hear, he I think you look good."

"Get lost," Eric's tone was still cold, and I have no doubt that he would pull out the noose in the next second, "I don't want to say it a fourth time, Lester."

This chapter is a manuscript. I was watching Raiders and Raiders before I coded it. I was crying when I was abused by the military dogs.

In addition, in two days, I may have to go out for a few days. I will try my best to save the manuscript while I still have time. It is estimated that there will be a big update when I don’t practice at the end of the month.
