【Adele】

As soon as the suspended state was released and the ground was solid, a woman's screams suddenly came from in front of her, one after another, the screams were terrible, it sounded... as if she was frightened?

"Eric?" I tried calling Eric's name to make sure he was okay.

Called for the first time, no response.

"Eric, are you okay?"

There was a cold snort from the other side of the woods, a familiar tone, from Eric.

I saw him come leading two horses, and on one of them sat a woman with blond hair, a round face, and a pretty face.But his face was pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes were fixed on the back of Eric's head, and his eyes were straight, but those were not eyes of admiration, but fear.

Another woman came along.She looked younger, with curly black hair rolled up, fair skin, and bright facial features. She firmly held the woman on the horse with one hand, raised her head and spoke from time to time, as if to comfort the woman on the horse.Occasionally she would glance at Eric's back, each time frowning, serious and vigilant.

"Jane? Cassandra?" Van Helsing asked doubtfully, "Is it you?"

"Professor Van Helsing! Oh my God, thank God!" The woman sitting on the horse put her hands on her chest, half delighted and half surprised: "It's really you, you still look so healthy and strong! I'm Cassandra, you remember me right?"

"Of course, I remember that you were only so tall at that time, and now you are a beautiful big girl," Professor Van Helsing turned to us with a smile and said, "Let me introduce each other, this is John Austin's niece, Cassandra Austin And Jane Austen. Jane, Cassandra, this is my friend Jean Grenouille and Adele. Cassandra, I guess the gentleman who led your horse just saved you and Jane? So still need My introduction?"

Cassandra's calm face suddenly changed: "This ghost... is he your friend?" After she finished speaking, she immediately realized her gaffe, and immediately apologized: "I'm very sorry, it's just... I was really caught by this This gentleman is terrified, and this gentleman is more, more like a spooky ghost in woodland legends than this horse that suddenly rushed out beside him."

I understand, so this is the reason why the two sisters react strangely. Eric is dressed in black, with two golden eyes shining under the white mask, and the speed of the horse is moving so fast, it does look a bit like... ...ghost.I think I can imagine that in the silent forest, two women were suddenly frightened by a crazy horse, and saw Eric's black shadow appearing quietly, and then Eric turned his head slowly - a picture of death A white masked face appeared in front of their eyes.

That horrible fear...

Alas, it seems that even if it is a hero who saves the beauty, Eric does not have the potential to be a prince charming.

But—why do I feel that the names of these two women sound very, very familiar?

"Cassandra, do your feet still hurt badly?" Jane, who had been holding her hand all the time, asked with concern.

"Yes, it's all because of my timidity. I was so scared that I sprained my feet. It is very difficult to walk back now. Uh... this gentleman, I don't mean to offend, thank you very much for saving me and Jane. If you can, we I want to invite..."

"No, nothing. The ghosts in the woods should stay in the woods obediently, and should not come out to scare people." Eric's deep and mellow voice sounded, even with a sarcastic tone, but in his elegant aria-like voice In , the sarcasm has also become pleasant to listen to.

"Thank you for telling me this truth, Miss Austin," Eric threw back the rein, "I think that Miss Austin who has been following me and watching me should have the ability to lead the horse and send sisters home ? You don’t need any more help from the ghostly ghosts in the woods?”

Oh, vengeful Eric, he's always been so narrow-minded when it comes to looks.

Miss Austin, who took the reins, looked calmer than Cassandra. She held up her skirt and gave a ladylike salute in front of Eric, with a modest attitude: "Thank you very much for saving us, please allow me to help us Apologize for the abruptness."

Just when I thought she would say something else, she had already led the horse and nodded to us, and then took Cassandra away, her movements were crisp and not muddy at all.

She probably didn't want to stay long, and while she didn't seem to be afraid of Eric, she didn't like it either.Is Eric's outfit really that scary?Alas, is there any girl who can not care about his mask and appearance, just like Eric?

"I'm sorry, please forgive my presumptuousness," Jane Austen, who had already walked a distance, suddenly turned around when I was silently mourning for Eric's never-coming love, "May I know your name, Mister Ghost in the woods?"

Eric snorted softly.

"Eric." He replied, just one word, but it was like the beautiful singing of a double bass, echoing softly in the empty woods.

Eric's voice is always so beautiful.

"You have a nice voice, Mr. Eric," Miss Austin praised with a smile, and then said, "but I think a person who always hides his true face behind a mask, no matter how talented he is , is just a mediocre coward. What's more, he cares so much about other people's evaluation of himself, that he is so penny-pinching, don't you think it's a kind of pathetic?"

Oh, I take back my previous evaluation of Miss Austin. Unlike her sisters, she is not only not afraid of Eric, but also bold and to the point.

Unexpectedly, Eric didn't get more angry because of this. I swear he looked at Miss Austin with great interest, then suddenly turned his head to look at Jean, and asked lightly: "Grenouille, what is Chisong?" Where did you grow up?"

【Jean Grenouille】

"Eric, don't you know how rude it is to ignore a young and beautiful woman?" On the way back, Adele kept thinking about Eric's sentence "Where is the red pine?"

Eric expressed disdain for this: "Innocent and naive little girl, I don't need to care about how useful it is to play with words."

"I don't mean that, isn't it special that she's not afraid of you? And she's such a beautiful and..."

"Adele, I warn you," Eric turned his head to stare at Adele, his voice sounded cold, as if he had returned to the dark depths of the opera house, "I don't need any woman, be honest, don't think Try not to think badly of me. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the woods in the middle of the night, and let you hear how the wolves howl."

"Hey, Eric knows how to bully people, but I'm not afraid," Adele hugged me and demonstrated triumphantly, "Jean will always find me and bring me back!"

Eric glanced at me: "Grenouille, I bet if Adele goes to the woods for one night, she won't dare to sleep alone in the future."

"Really?!" I was a little curious, and a little bit looking forward to it, I always wanted to sleep with her again, if she didn't dare to be alone... then she would definitely find me, right!Does this method really work?

"Eric!" Adele called him angrily, "You must have learned from Lester!"

"You mention me every time something bad happens, and I'm not happy about it at all." At this time we were almost home, Lester stood at the door, folded his arms, and sneered: "A group of traitors, What did you do behind my back?"

Well, I guess if I told him that he missed another good show, he would be very sorry and angry.I don't know why, but this vampire likes to watch the excitement and gloat. Adele said that this is not a good habit.

Unexpectedly, at dinnertime, Miss Austen, who had only confronted Eric during the day, visited our house with a basket full of cookies, and her father was with her.

At this moment I was putting food on a plate to take Adele upstairs.During this time, Adele and Eric are both working, and Lester can never eat these, so we basically don't have everyone at dinner time.

"Professor Van Helsing, I haven't seen you for many years. You look pretty good." Unlike Miss Austin's attitude, her father was very indifferent to the professor. After a simple greeting, he looked around: "It looks like my brother's The house is a little bit different than it used to be."

"Yes, we have too many people and have to do some renovations." The professor explained.

Miss Austin's father nodded: "I know you are a very great adventurer. You must have a special purpose for coming to Steventon this time, and this group of young people..." He glanced at us, and he gave me The first feeling is that he is a very peaceful person, but this glance is very sharp: "They look so different, I don't care what you do, but I hope you don't give Steventon—especially Austin What kind of trouble does it bring home?"

I noticed that he emphasized the pronunciation of "Zai".

"I'm sorry, Professor, my dad didn't mean anything bad, it's just that what happened to Uncle John made him too sad. He attributed it all to you, thinking that you led Uncle John astray. In the last two years, he and Uncle John My relationship with you is terrible.” Miss Austin’s father left after saying those words, she explained a lot in a hurry, and then put down the basket of cookies: “This is some homemade cookies, I hope the woods Mr. Ghost likes it."

"Mr. Ghost of the Woods?" Eric's footsteps came from upstairs, probably just finished the work, I found that this is usually when he is in the happiest mood, but this time seems to be an exception, I heard him snort very unhappy: "Miss Austin, I didn't know your memory was so bad."

Miss Austin calmly replied: "No, you are wrong, I have a good memory. But I think you are Mr. Ghost of the Woods before you take off your mask."

"Oh..." I heard Professor Van Helsing whispering, "Look at this proud personality, not like her father, but very much like her Uncle John."
