[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

He will never give up on marrying her! "The earl ruthlessly threw the sword back into the distance.

Mitchell's eyelids twitched, and he was still so personable, "No, I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to change public opinion. Kristina Da'ai wants to really marry into the Shani family Certain sacrifices must be made, so it will be much easier for you to raise conditions."

Earl Shani turned sideways slightly. After the anger passed, he also had the intention to listen carefully to what the man had to say. "Conditions? What do you mean by that?"

"Let Christina da Eche completely disappear from the front of the people, and completely control her in your hands." Mitchell showed a faint smile, "You can say that the Viscount and her The reason for our close relationship is that Ms. Daai had rescued the Viscount before, and this time, she rescued the Viscount again. To thank her, you will fund her to go to a better college to receive better music education. Who cares about where a showgirl goes after she leaves Paris? This city forgets a person too quickly. After three to five years, there will still be a few people who will remember her. Moreover, the appearance of a girl in this grade will still change. In the future, whatever identity Christina Daae needs to appear in the future, she can be regarded as another person."

The Earl had fully reacted at this time, "You really are a cunning character. Christina da Aie lives here, 'she' has left, she can only live with the Shani family, without La Ur, she is nothing, she can only obey our arrangement, and keep her indifferent for a few years... But, her weight in Raoul's heart still hasn't dropped, what should I do!"

"Count, you have to believe that time is the most miraculous thing in this world." Mitchell squinted his eyes and said mysteriously: "Which woman can endure being ignored for several years, and when the time comes, we don't have to What to do from it, they will naturally have many conflicts. You just need to tell the Viscount, if you can't even do a little business, how can you believe in his beliefs? This is not a simple impulse of his. After that ..."

The count's eyes lit up immediately, "Yes, I can take Raoul around to socialize and go to various places, and what will happen in these places is beyond their ability to guess. Yes, I don't need to hurt you at all. As for the relationship between Raoul and me, I just need to analyze all kinds of strengths for him from the perspective of a very normal brother, and I just need to tactfully express the shortcomings of this girl in various aspects. Everything will fall into place , However, there is a little problem, time..."

"Yes, I promise you two months." Mitchell admitted frankly that he didn't think the Earl would do anything to him, "However, the situation is different now, their relationship is so deep Many, it cannot be swayed by a little lie. Besides, this young lady saved the viscount's life, which will add a lot of weight to her, and the Shani family can't just criticize her casually. Earl, you Say?"

The count looked at him with a sudden smile, and asked with concern: "Does Dr. Bartley plan to settle here for a long time, or..."

"Oh no, I've been here long enough, I'm going to walk around the Continent with my friends, it would be a bit boring if the rest of my life was fixed in the same place .I plan to leave recently, and the preparations have already been done, so, when I come here today, I also bid farewell to you, Earl, and I am grateful for your care these days."

He still had a simple smile on his face, "Because I don't have a fixed place to live, if someone sends me a letter, I probably won't receive it in time. So, goodbye."

He took the cane that he never left and left gracefully, as if from now on, everything here has nothing to do with him.

He returned to the carriage, and Clark immediately flicked the rein, and the carriage quickly galloped down the street. Eric looked at him with a bad face, sarcastically: "Oh, those two poor people still think you are doing it for Well, they have always been treated as playthings by you. It’s really pitiful. They don’t know yet. It’s your idea to make them break up. I’m curious, if one day, they ..."

"They won't know." Mitchell shook Eric's hand, "First of all, the count and I are the only ones who know everything about this matter, but neither of us will reveal half of it. With you, your beautiful accident, I believe you, Eric, you will not betray me, will you?"

His answer was a cold snort of disdain, "I just want to repay you for curing my disease, and promised to help me reshape a face, you'd better do it."

"Of course, I will do my best. Eric, you have to seriously build this castle." Mitchell approached his ear mysteriously, and breathed warm breath in his ear , with a touch of ambiguity, "Eric, it doesn't matter if you don't accept me, I just officially started pursuing it. I hope that the valley I bought can become our shared private paradise. I hope that will Be yours, Eric."

Eric pushed him away solemnly, and he never showed any expression on his face. It would be a truly terrifying thing if he could really see the expression on his face.He stated again, "There is no superfluous relationship between me and you, it's just that you have helped me several times, and I don't want to owe you any favors. Our relationship is nothing more than that."

Mitchell pursed his lips and sighed sadly, "Are we not even friends, Eric, look, touch, touch, my heart will be riddled with holes because of you, How can you bear it? I always thought that after going through so many things, you have more or less regarded me as a friend, a true best friend. "

Eric didn't answer for a while, and he didn't understand how he should define the relationship between the two. He has never had friends, and the emotions that belong to humans are a bit far away for him.Mitchell quickly returned to normal, "I think we will definitely become friends during this journey, true friends, I have this confidence, but, Eric, you must at least Open up to me a little bit."

Eric felt as if his face was burning, he turned his face away slightly, and changed the subject abruptly, "I have no other feelings for Christina, but I still regard her as my student." .Sheng, I still hope to play a blessing for her when she gets married."

"Do you really think they are a match made in heaven?" Mitchell's eyes were sarcasm, "Yes, they can be an enviable couple, but not now, maybe 50 years from now , 100 years later? In society at that time, there was no such deep barrier between nobles and ordinary people. Only then will they be truly equal and happiness will begin. In other words, if Christine Na can't adapt to the lifestyle of the aristocracy, she absolutely can't bear it."

"First of all, singing is her favorite. Do you think a viscountess can sing in public? It's just immodest grandstanding, and she will only become a laughing stock. There are many things to learn to be a qualified viscountess , she wants to be her husband's support, and connect him with people in his corresponding circle. The Viscountess can't just sit at home and drink tea every day. This circle is a collection of the dark side of human beings, Chris If Ting Na can make a bloody way out of here, then she can truly gain a foothold, if she can't even gain a foothold, what happiness will there be?"

"I gave her a trial, which is also an opportunity for her to completely transform." Mitchell looked at Eric very seriously, "If she can survive this period of time and mature quickly, so can I. Let her stay in the Shani family with peace of mind, if not, she can have a new life. Believe me, this girl definitely deserves better."

☆、Hidden facts

"Raoul Chaney may be good in all aspects, but that girl is more suitable for a simpler environment, isn't she?" Mitchell blinked and said with a sour taste: "Honey, I'm pursuing you, In the future, let's not talk about the two of them often, it has nothing to do with us, does it?"

Eric closed his eyes and didn't intend to continue talking. Between them, let's do it for now.Mitchell also stopped talking to him, giving the other party a little private space, which is what a gentleman needs to do.

In the evening, they temporarily returned to Mitchell's residence in Paris. Eric began to feel very sleepy after dinner. He went upstairs early and locked himself in the room.

Mitchell listened for a while, and then began to talk to them, "Gu Bo, I asked you to monitor how the two of them are doing. How does Earl Shani plan to deal with this poor little girl? It seems that recently, Shani The family is going to hold balls one after another, and I'm still a little bit disappointed to leave Paris like this."

Gu Bo was very excited. He stopped on his shoulder, looked at Mitchell pitifully, and asked cautiously: "Master, when will I be able to return to my own body. Inside the body of a crow, I am almost suffocated, so, can I..."

"Okay." Mitchell readily agreed, "Do you want to change your body? Do you want a macaw, or a white falcon, or a goshawk, if you don't mind, seagulls too. Yes, as long as it is not too big, I am a considerate host, am I not?"

He sat on the sofa next to him aggrievedly, and while grabbing the cushion on his body, he muttered in a low voice: "It's really a daughter-in-law who got married and the matchmaker threw it over the wall. It's just that he has a better attitude towards you and doesn't hold any grudges against that woman." Messy thoughts, just sent us all away in such a hurry, really..."

Mitchell was not angry, he just put the cup on the table lightly, and made a crisp sound, he sneered: "Do I have to thank you more, you idiot who almost ruined my thoughtful arrangement? The explosives there can always be kept there to become a hidden danger that threatens Paris. Now, they are all flooded, and it is inevitable that people will find clues to the layout again. In this matter, I also want to thank you very much. You choose a reward yourself, or I will completely transform you into the body of a bird, I think you are very comfortable."

Clark had already shrunk to the side a long time ago, treating himself as air, not interrupting, and trying not to even make a sound of breathing.With a crying face, Gu Bo defended in a low voice: "Didn't I do something good? If I hadn't locked them in the torture chamber and tortured them so that Eric could hear their true feelings, how could he have done so so quickly?" Give up on that girl completely."

"I still don't understand good people, think about it this way, Gu Bo, I'm really sorry for you, should I give you a pair of wings, and then offer you up like a god?" "Patta" All of a sudden, a delicate little key was thrown out, and it was placed on the table like that. Gu Bo's eyes lit up instantly, and he tiptoed over, trying to get it secretly.

It's almost there, it's getting close, there's only one centimeter away, and victory is just ahead.Mitchell's big hand pressed against his paw, "Oh, you've got a lot of skills, if you can't beat him, just be a thief."

He abruptly withdrew the key, put it slowly into his clothes, and squinted at him, "Do you think I don't know, you are grieving that Raoul Chany accidentally hit your body. One eye of the body, even if I repaired it for you, the hatred is still formed. You were moved when you saw Eric's mechanism. Want to take this opportunity to clean him up? If it wasn't for that day, I still don't know You have learned the oral skills well, animals, water droplets, etc., especially Eric's voice imitation is lifelike. I really wronged you for asking you to do those things before."

Gu Bo could only stand obediently on the side, waiting for his master to deal with him. The more he listened, the more he understood that this time, it seemed that it was really difficult for him to escape, and he hoped that he would not be punished badly.He simply hid his head under his wings, waiting for the final judgment in the familiar darkness.

"However, it doesn't mean that you have no credit at all. After listening to the life and death promise between them in Eric for a day, you finally understand, and you don't intend to get involved with them. However, there is one thing you haven't considered. If What if Raoul Shani and the Persian are really dead? It will be counted on Eric's head, we are all people who don't need to care about such things at all, Eric is still alive, he and us It's different, I hope you can firmly remember in the future, I keep you by my side to let you take care of Eric."

Mitchell pulled his head out from under the wings very gently, and forced him to look at himself, "Gubo, do you know that I want you to do something by saving your life? You can’t do this little thing well. Tell me, what reason do I have to keep you alive? I understand that you are a smart child, and I have given you opportunities, so you have to make good use of them. Right. Next time..."

Gu Bo subconsciously shuddered, and quickly replied: "There is absolutely no next time! If this happens again, I will definitely abandon everything to protect Mr. Eric. His life safety will always come first."

Mitchell nodded in satisfaction, "I'm not an unreasonable person either, you see, you want to take revenge on Raoul Chaney, and I didn't stop you, Eric and I did it at the last moment. Going in, if I hadn’t helped you once, you think Eric couldn’t go in at the moment of Christina Daae’s choice. To do things, you need to use your little head more. On this point, Clark Much better than you did, don't let me down."

It's a pleasure to live with a music maniac, all kinds of music are playing in their house from morning to night, if it's not for some troubles in London, Mitchell I even feel that living in Paris like this is a good thing.

Now, he had to go back to London temporarily, but this time, he could bring a beauty with him, and the boring journey was somewhat slowed down.When he mentioned this matter, Eric just packed up his sheet music and was taken aback for a moment, then he refused, "I just promised to help you build a unparalleled building in the world, it doesn't mean that I want to work with you Running around together, between us..."

Mitchell stopped him, his tone was so gentle, he held Eric's hand gently, "I'm worried, actually, we all understand, don't we, that girl hasn't been here yet Your heart has completely disappeared, and she is still affecting you."

He gently pressed Eric's hand to his face, it was a delicate, soft touch, which he had never had before. "Eric, don't be sad, you will also have such a face, but it's not that time yet, go out with me this time, it's a refreshment, put on the mask I gave you, and go out into the crowd , You have to get used to getting along with them, right, we will soon return to human society together."

Eric silently withdrew his hand, Mitchell did not force it, this is not something that can be forced.He just reluctantly showed a smiling face, and a trace of fragility flashed across his face, "It's okay, Eric, I won't force you, just promise me that you will also be good while I'm away." Take care of yourself, and then, we will go to Switzerland together. There, we can start our new life."

The next day, Mitchell looked at the closed door with his luggage and looked at the closed door with a little melancholy. Time passed by bit by bit. Clark stepped forward and urged: "Master, the time is coming. If you don't I really can’t catch the train when I set off, things in London are really urgent..."

Mitchell sighed, took the suitcase in Clark's hand, a little disappointed, "It seems that I still overestimated my own weight in other people's hearts, forget it, if I wait slowly, maybe one day I will Maybe it will be. Clark, during the time I'm away, don't let the affairs of the Shani family bother him, you must call him to eat and sleep on time, not just by the door, you must keep an eye on him. If no one is watching and controlling his living habits closely, he will definitely be careless again."

He stood at the door like this, carefully instructing the housekeeper everything about him.Finally, he lifted the box and took a last look at the closed door. The carriage had been waiting outside for long enough.At this moment, the door opened, and Eric stood on the stairs with a completely new face and his luggage.It took me a long time to come up with a dry sentence, "It takes a lot of material to write better music. I stayed in Paris a little too long."

Mitchell just smiled as usual, showing a look of pity, "It's really great that you agreed. Otherwise, I still have to think about how to make you fulfill the contract we signed Obligation."

Seeing Eric's puzzled expression, he continued to explain with a smile, "You sold me your ten years. During these ten years, you must obey all my demands that are not excessive. We have been ruled by fate. It's firmly tied together, my music angel."

The author has something to say: the new map is in progress.Suddenly, I thought of the dietary taboos I had seen before, and it is forbidden to eat raw "drunk shrimp".There is also a morning to avoid eating and drinking on an empty stomach. Regarding this, I just want to say, experts, your IQ will die early.I am so glamorous.

☆, another journey

Eric threw the box towards him rudely, and got into the car first. Mitchell took the things in his hand with a smile, turned and looked at Clark with meaningful eyes, "Clark, I checked , It seems that there are no tickets from Paris to London within today, I don't want to know what method you use, I hope that when I arrive in London, I can see that you have prepared my apartment."

They stood at the door of the house and watched the owner's carriage go away. As soon as it turned the corner, Gu Bo started laughing: "You have to get there before them, your leg is going to break, Clark."

Clark shook the bird off his shoulder very calmly, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands in distaste, "I am the master's butler, and I can fulfill all his orders, not like you, a piece of trash. One thing, you can stay here by yourself and take charge of the monitoring, the master will see the latest results every day, according to their speed, your messenger will be sent out by this evening at the latest. Work hard."

Gu Bo was so angry that he was about to die, and when he thought about it, cold sweat soaked the feathers on his back.This news is definitely not just about the Shani family, but about the entire continent of Europe. Clark helped him sort out so many things before. Now, Clark...

Wait, where did he go? As soon as he turned his head, he saw Clark sitting in the carriage. The all-black horse had flames burning in its eyes, and snorted at him mockingly. Clark was going to London to help Well, then he is not staying here alone, if it is so miserable, I still want to sleep in every day.

Clark's luggage had already been placed in the carriage. He was quite confident in the current situation. Who could refuse the master who calculated carefully? Waving, "Gu Bo, don't let your master down with your next job. This is the last chance he gave you. If you can't even do this well, you'll just be a bird for the rest of your life. It's his responsibility." In the original words, there is a long way to go. Goodbye."

Looking up again, Clark is no longer there. He is desperately chasing time on the road to the underworld. If the carriage moves forward at full speed, it probably won’t even take a day to reach London. He is really the only one left now. Now, when he thought of the countless and complicated information, he felt desperate.Hopefully, when they're done with their London business, they'll be able to think that there's a poor Goodboo waiting for them.

Sitting on the train bound for the port, Mitchell took care of Eric very attentively, "I asked Clark to prepare some food for the train, which one do you want?"

He actually brought up a dining basket, which contained bread, sandwiches and other things. Even without eating Eric, he knew that there must be the best ingredients in it. He had some... Mitchell immediately smiled and said: "This It's just my requirement for the quality of life. Life is short, so you must enjoy it. Stomach is the most important part of it. Eric, you were too careless about these things in your previous life. If you want to change, you have to Start with the most basic habits."

"I think I'm fine now." Eric refused very coldly, "My music has replaced everything, and everything else is just a passer-by in my life. Why should I spend time on these."

"No one will understand you, no one will pass on your music, this is the reality, no matter how good you are." What is the expression on Mitchell's face, he is contemptuous of himself, Mitchell sighed In one breath, I sat beside him, "I really don't want to say some things, but now, I have to say, Eric, you really understand where you lost to Raoulchani ?"

"Isn't love an inexplicable thing?" Eric laughed at himself, "If I'm one step late, I'm doomed to be late for the rest of my life, but I'm just like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood. Ordinary emotions are just dependence, not true love."

Mitchell sat across from him confidently, and said firmly: "You are jealous, I easily hugged Christina Daae into my arms, she is very nostalgic, if she is a little less firm, or, If I add another fire, she will completely fall to my side, but I don't want to play with the heart of a pure girl. Eric, you can't deny it, even if I don't get that completely With a girl's heart, she also trusts me from the bottom of her heart, she thinks so definitely that I will never lie to her."

Eric's movements froze for a moment, and he pretended to be nonchalant and continued: "It has nothing to do with me, it's just that girl's credulity to you. She doesn't know the sinister intentions hidden under your gentle appearance, you are better than me. It is more suitable for darkness, and it will be more hidden."

"They won't care, who are you?" Mitchell took a sip of water, very elegantly, "When they see my face, my words and deeds, they feel good about me. Trust me, as long as you do something that makes them happy, they will naturally turn their hearts to your side. People are visual animals, and they don't pay attention to their hearts as much as you think. As long as they can pretend, Everything is within reach.”

"What you did, it's not enough to describe it with double-sidedness." Eric is a little tired of these topics, and now he just wants to write his music, and then help him complete the building. It's best to find a place where there are no people. Die alone.He was a little tired, entangled with Christina, and his creative inspiration was gushing, he said a little impatiently: "I don't want to be someone like you. In this regard, I am different from you."

"Eric, we are the same in one thing, we are all aliens that are not accepted by human society, you chose to stay away from human society, and I put away all my minions, pretending to be gentle and harmless , blended into them, became a part of them, and then played with them. Most people are too stupid, as long as they have a little bit of means, they can be guided and changed. Of course, in human society .There's a lot of other fun in there."

Mitchell looked at him seriously: "Are you interested in living with a completely different identity and personality, treating yourself as another person, and really mixing into human society? Will give it a try. Of course, this is just a suggestion, decide It's up to you."

He put an ID on the table between them, a ID from Scandinavia. "It's fake. But it's a real identity document. As long as you give them a little money, they don't care whether what you say is correct or not, and they won't verify it. Information. This identity is my distant cousin, Eric Bartlet, and I have prepared it for you."

Eric looked at the document intently for a long time before asking, "Why should I agree to do this kind of thing? It won't help my music."

"A different life, a completely different experience, won't it help you write different music than before, or do you think this genre is enough for your whole life?" Mitchell looked at him calmly, as if he was sure of him I will definitely say yes.

He did agree, and Eric took the document, "What kind of person did you set up for me? If it's too different from mine, I won't cooperate with you. I accept it just because I think so." It is more convenient for us to move in London, if an unknown person suddenly appears by your side, it will cause a lot of trouble, I hate trouble the most."

"The identity is my cousin. There were some changes in the family. I went to Paris from Scandinavia to study music. I met me on the way. I tried my best to persuade you to come to contact some doctors and be my doctor. Assistant. Personality, you can decide for yourself, after all, no one in London has ever seen me have a cousin. However, I suggest that personality traits such as being silent, shy on the outside and firm on the inside are suitable for you.” Mitchell pushed over a document , which is densely filled with the connection between their family background and Mitchell Bartley and so on.

"This is the background they prepared. I've read it. There are no loopholes. You just have to read it carefully. You don't need to memorize it completely. The relationship between us is already far away. If you really have nothing to do Telling all the details, big and small, will make people suspicious, and we are relatives who haven't seen each other for more than ten years. The rest is up to you to play freely."

"Okay." Eric hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You're a doctor, I'm trying to be your assistant, are you going to touch... the dead body?" Those two words were in his mouth It took a long time to say it.

Mitchell couldn't help laughing, "There's nothing to be afraid of a corpse, at most it's a little disgusting on the outside, you are not afraid of people, why should you have any scruples about corpses, besides, corpses never tell lies. There is one more thing you It should be noted that I live at 202 Baker Street, and there are two very special people living in 221B. One is Sherlock Holmes. If you lie in front of you, you will be exposed in no time. There is also a military doctor who retired from the Afghan battlefield, John Watson, he is a good old man, if you have any troubles, you can go to him."

The author has something to say: the new map is fully opened, and Sherlock Holmes will appear in the next chapter, so I am finally going to write here, so happy. o(≧v≦)o

Suddenly, I found out that the protagonists of the four articles I wrote and three of them were not human beings, Imerton was a mummy, Ao Chen was a dragon, and Mitchell was not a human being either. To start the protagonist is not all human series.Now that I think about it, I'm a little excited.

☆、Familiar place

Mitchell showed a mysterious smile, "When you really see Sherlock Holmes, you will understand what kind of man he is, and it will definitely open your eyes."

Eric wanted to ask some other questions, but Mitchell quickly changed the subject. He looked at the surrounding carriages with some disgust, "This is already the best train I can find, next time we travel together In continental Europe, we can do the Orient Express, which will definitely impress you."

In the afternoon, Mitchell and Eric arrived in London, and Clark was already standing on the platform waiting for them. Ignoring Eric's surprised eyes, he naturally stepped forward to take their luggage. "Master, I have tidied up the residence and purchased the basic items I need. I have also notified the necessary people. You will probably stay here for another three months. Is there anything worth modifying at this time?"

"It's almost there." Mitchell clasped Eric's hand naturally, "We need almost this much time here, and this period of time is just enough to finish our temporary residence in Switzerland, and it feels like there is finally a place where people can live Not bad. Eric, if you think you can, you can start designing now, everything you need is here."

The rattling horseshoes reverberate on Baker Street, it is still the same mixed, there are all kinds of people, it is not very clean, the air is not good, there is always a strange smell, it is a mixture of many factories smell.Standing in front of the door, Mitchell felt a little emotional for a while, "I came back after going around for a while. I came back in a hurry last time and didn't see anyone. Standing here now always feels unreal."

Then, he heard a familiar voice, Sherlock Holmes standing in front of the window calling his name, Mitchell raised his head, smiled slightly, and motioned to find him later.Clark quickly moved all the things in the car into the house, and Eric frowned slightly. This was the first time he stood in such a crowded place.

Mitchell took a step back and held his hand calmly, "I have asked Clark to buy some clothes for you here, let's go in and change first, and then, go to visit Sherlock, he and Watson must Came back to us for dinner. He was a wonderful man."

They had just changed their clothes, and Clark came over with the prepared menu, "Today's dinner, the staple food is steak, the side dishes are asparagus and mashed potatoes, the soup is salmon vegetable soup, and braised seafood with safflower sauce, Bacon salad and rainbow frozen cheesecake for dessert."

Mitchell glanced at it, and pulled Eric out, "That's it, you just have to look at the arrangement yourself, both of them are not very particular about food, so it's fine if you think it's okay. We are about 7 Come back at one o'clock for dinner, during this time, at three o'clock, we can just have afternoon tea, please bring the things over."

"Okay." Clark quickly wrapped up the snacks and followed them, "I have prepared chocolate lemon cheesecake, peach mousse, strawberry cheesecake, and baked pudding. Mr. Eric, if you still If you want to eat, please tell me, it will be prepared soon."

Mitchell brought Eric forward, "Don't embarrass him, he can't tell what you said, and you can consider letting him make a decision in the future."

No sooner had they stood in front of the door than Mrs. Hudson opened it, and she happily gave
