[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

He squinted his eyes and looked at Clark's body. But he didn't go on to say, what is the difference between them? Is it really just a special power belonging to the underworld.

The author has something to say: Today I chatted with the authors in the group about the subject matter.The editor was very angry: what are you writing about because of the cold!

Then, for some reason, we chatted about TV dramas, and after that, we moved on to Japanese TV dramas.

A: I like Uncle, Uncle Hiroshi is so handsome, and Masaharu Fukuyama is simply a god.

Me: I still like Tomohisa Yamashita, the figure in the zero-second shot is so good.

B: Don't you think Haruma Miura is handsome?

Me: A certain angle is a bit strange, I prefer Kamenashi Kazuya a little bit, it would be great if Kimura-san would not be so dark.

C: I think Ms. Perfect's Theory of Evolution is good, and some manga and Japanese dramas are good.Switching girls, and handsome male idols are really speechless...

Me: I still like the young master, mybossmyhero and the son-in-law are super pretty.

Then D: Ask weakly, who is the young master?

E: What are you talking about, we dare not reply...

You have received a "knowing blow" from the opponent, and your blood volume has dropped by half. Please replenish it in time.

It seems that I know why I always write about cold subjects, let us hug each other silently and cry for a while.

☆, the meaning of existence

Clark immediately said: "Now we can go. Today is a good weather, very suitable for travel." Eric glanced out the window, and he didn't know when he was already groggy, and it might rain at any time. Could this be what they said? Is the weather as mentioned in .Now, he can only temporarily close his doubts.

When they came to the door, it was a very normal carriage. The only unusual thing was that they were all black horses of a solid color. This could also be said to be their own unique aesthetics, and there was nothing worthy of criticism.With doubts in his heart, he followed Mitchell into the carriage. After bumping for about half an hour, he heard the sound of construction indistinctly. He wanted to look out, but Mitchell blocked the window, "Eric , don't worry, let's get closer, I don't really want you to open the gift in advance."

He also put down his hand, but it was only a few minutes' time gap, the closer he got, the more he felt that the construction site behind him was extraordinary, and then he saw it.

This is probably one of the largest construction sites he has ever seen. It is comparable to the Persian palace. Mitchell smiled slightly and led him two steps forward to the edge of the foundation. Looking down, the construction underneath It was almost bottomless, and the sounds of workers blasting began to become a little blurred.However, all of this is so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, and even this is what he once drew with his own hands!

Mitchell nodded, and handed him a set of drawings, "Eric, this is your previous design, I know, this is your dream, so I only slightly changed some places on it, for example, the The area under the ground has expanded to six floors, Eric, the progress after that is up to you, I will entrust all the work to you, and you can take full command of these workers."

This was a huge temptation. Even Eric, he couldn't help but feel agitated, but he still didn't forget a question, "Where did the money come from? This is not a simple question, you can't..."

"Eric, do you really believe that I am not yet 40 years old this year? It is impossible for only human beings to exist in this world. Otherwise, will this world be too boring soon? In other words, if a life After living for a long period of time, shouldn’t it be natural for him to have accumulated a certain amount of wealth? Moreover, these workers do not need to pay, and one person owes me a favor, which is very important, so I can pay for these labors. Use them completely free of charge for twenty. ten years, use them to realize all your designs, Eric, I know what you can do, just take this place as a stage to display your talents."

Mitchell took a step back, revealing the panorama, and the ambition hidden in Eric's heart was aroused again, this is still a blank sheet of paper, you can do whatever you want, how exciting it is, He immediately took out the pen and paper from the carriage, found a place and sat down, he was already full of inspiration.

Clark immediately went forward and quickly found a suitable place to arrange it, and then transferred Eric there. Eric just kept writing and drawing with the paper and pen like this. He didn't want to waste any time. The building below Mitchell has already arranged it perfectly, but as for the building on the ground, he now has a better idea. He wants to build the greatest building in the world, and the previous design is not good at all.

Mitchell could only stand by and wait for him, and it was night. This time, Mitchell had to take some small measures to force him to go home. Fortunately, it did not cause any disturbance. Family conflicts.The next few days were a complete replica of today's situation. Except for the pen and paper in his hand, Eric was indifferent to anyone and everything, and the plan to change his face was also put on hold as a matter of course.

Then, Mitchell finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he threw out a message during dinner, "Eric, I need to go out recently, and you..."

He didn't have a special reaction, but he knew very well in his heart why he hesitated to speak, "I don't want to be your experimental product yet, and my focus of work is on building here. I think, wait until It’s not too late to discuss this matter after my design is fully completed.”

"Oh." Mitchell agreed like this, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "I'm still a little worried about you, I will let the new Ans and Guber stay at home, and Clark will go out with me. Just let them do whatever you want, you don't need to come forward for anything, you just need to..."

Eric's face was a bit wrong, he is a mature enough, independent man, and Mitchell immediately changed the subject, "I probably need to go to Paris, do you need me to bring something to Christina? , I should be able to stop by and see her. Or, do you want me to bring you something back from France?"

Eric glanced at the room, the high-quality organ, piano, and various musical instruments, "Do you think there is anything missing in your arrangement?" After that, there was silence again. Even so, Mitchell still felt happy, This man has been firmly locked within the scope of his territory, and it is impossible for him to escape in this life.He was about to gradually separate from human society. It was impossible to quietly acquire such an area of ​​land in Switzerland and carry out large-scale construction without causing any trouble, unless this place did not really exist in that world.

In order to find the stable overlap of the two spaces, he really spent a lot of trouble. Now it seems that it is really a wise choice, and this place can become his most solid base camp.

It was still the carriage, Clark picked out all the most important information, and handed it to Mitchell, "Master, Moriarty has been looking for you, and he has not given up devouring our remaining power in the world, I always feel that he seems to have noticed some unusual clues, do we need..." His eyes were extremely dangerous.

"Don't do anything, we have a good relationship with the underworld now, they need us somewhere, so we can sit back and relax here, but we can't cooperate forever, if there is an accident, especially if someone is stupid. . move us into that matter, and the sewage splashed on us will not be washed away. There is no need to pay so much for a human being. Let him do small tricks there. He won't be free for too long. One day he will fail at the hands of Sherlock Holmes, and it won't be long. We'll just have to wait patiently."

Crows flew past them one after another, and Clark put a series of lists in front of him, "There will be five very suitable materials that can be collected this week. Do we want them all, or have a choice."

Mitchell glanced at the list, he already knew the information, "No, we only need three of them, Clark, you still need to be more careful in choosing, I don't care if they are physically strong or not. Or what kind of identity, those who are meaningless to me, I need people, he must have a strong will, and his thinking can not have any deviations, we can only create pure resurgents, not dangerous goods .It will only be a catastrophe if people full of malice reappear in this world."

The doctor can always see through the deepest thoughts in the heart, and no one can hide under his eyes.The same goes for Clark, he can't keep any secrets from Mitchell. "I know what you are doubting and hesitating in your heart. Clark, you have to believe in yourself and my vision. I have full confidence in your quality and your inner being. You are perfect. You will never Fall. Fall."

"But, master, what exactly am I, why did I come to this world, and what's the point of my existence?" He covered his head in great pain, "I don't know anything, when I appeared Sometimes, there is no life, and it will even bring disaster. Sometimes I always wonder if it is because of my existence that there will be such a barren place, or, I am simply the monster in their mouths .”

"Clark." Mitchell sighed, "Why didn't I say these words earlier, I always thought that you had gradually started to let go, but now, they are still a thorn in your heart. I can't disobey To be honest, your appearance has nothing to do with the dead silence there, but I can't lie to you. The fact is, I don't know the reason for your appearance. When I came there, you already existed , your consciousness has appeared, but it’s not yet clear. It’s like people have almost no memory of things before they were 5 years old.”

☆, bad goodbye

"However, I can be quite sure that their deaths have nothing to do with you. There is no resentment in that place, no dissipated souls. They have all returned to the underworld smoothly, and there is almost no resentment on them. I I have always had a guess in my heart..."

Mitchell looked at him seriously: "Clark, your appearance was not an accident. I feel even more that it is because of them that you appeared in this world. You are their hope and their future! Apart from this reason, I Can't think of any plausible reason why there's so little resentment there."

"Really?" Clark felt unbelievable. This is too absurd. The only life in the dead city is not a representative of evil. Isn't he the source of the Black Death? "Master, isn't this really an excuse for you to comfort me?"

"Excuse? Clark, I don't need to use this kind of thing to deceive you or myself." Mitchell gently touched his cane, which was always by his side and never left, " When all the impossibilities have been ruled out, no matter how unbelievable the remaining conclusion is, it is the truth. Clark, you have to have a little confidence in yourself. I want to ask you a few questions. If you are a representative With evil. Evil, why are the people you come into contact with rarely in danger? If, you are bad luck, why is there no large-scale outbreak of the Black Death after that time? If, you are destruction, why Can you still keep your heart intact?"

Mitchell patted his shoulder meaningfully, looked at his tearful and excited eyes, and said word by word: "Clark, this is the truth, but I have never been sure before. Clark, you are not Because I was resurrected, I just gave you a chance to come back to the human world, we will not and cannot stay underground forever, this era also belongs to us, are you ready?"

Clark knelt down on the ground in great excitement, his forehead pressed against the ground, "Master, I am willing to follow you until the world is turned upside down, I am willing..."

"Clark!" Mitchell said in an extremely stern tone, "I didn't bring you here to make you follow me all the time! Is your...life meaningful only if you are attached to me? The last thing I want You think so, what I want to give you is a brand new future, let you become a real person, not my vassal. Could it be that you are here today to tell me that all my efforts are useless, You are not worthy of my training like this?"

"No, master, I just want to do as much as possible for you, I just..." Clark was very panicked, watching Mitchell's face from the corner of his eyes, like a puppy that was about to be abandoned.

Mitchell sighed, looking out of the window, the sky has gradually started to brighten, and the sun is about to come out, "Clark, you can't follow me forever, I have already counted it, at most another ten years, the things I am here The meeting is basically over. At that time, you really need to find your own life. I found Eric. There should be someone in your life. Otherwise, it will be too lonely. You still have time, open your eyes carefully. search."

This time, Clark didn't continue to say anything. Did he really have no envy in his heart? That must be a lie. In other words, he was very jealous. Why did the master find that lover? The missing corner, his eyes are no longer cold, more like a living body.

Once again, they set foot on this land, they stayed in a field, and there was still a considerable distance from Paris, but this was what he wanted.Mitchell stroked the brim of his hat leisurely, "Clark, it seems that we need to be separated for a while, Clark, help me retrieve their bodies, bodies and souls, we are not in a hurry to do new experiments, I have a brand new idea, if you find all ten materials, you can go back to Switzerland first. I need someone to be by Eric's side all the time, his spirit is not very stable..."

"I understand, master, although you have restored some vitality for him, his vital signs have not stabilized. I can feel that even low-level servants feel a little stupid when they smell his breath. Move, fortunately, he is a master of music, they will not act rashly."

Clark led the horse and stood beside him, a little hesitant, "Master, but let them follow you, if you don't have them, master..."

"Without them, the dead breath on your body will be exposed soon. The people in the church will not care where you come from. The main thing is the evil breath. They will only strangle you, unless you can prove I am the real messenger. They can't find me, and they can't hurt me. After finishing the matter, you should go back as soon as possible. By the way, I will urge Ans to improve his strength as soon as possible. I won't leave him a lot of time. When the time comes, put the Give this to him." Mitchell threw a small blood-smelling stone in the past, and it was covered with fine lines, like blood vessels that dried up after death.

This is a spar that can enhance the ability of vampires. How could the master have such a thing? "In their eyes, this is a good thing, but in the eyes of the blood race, it is barely edible food. Dracula's castle is full of such things. I have a lot of them there. If you want, I can bring them Go and pick it up." Clark choked suddenly, the two worlds are really very different.

He stroked this spar, thinking, what would happen if I absorbed it? I would probably be closer to a vampire. When he thought of being wiped out in the sun, he couldn't help but tremble a few times, then looked up, Mitchell has disappeared, too, so what does the master need to worry about, no one can hurt him in this world unless he chooses to die himself.

Walking on the outskirts of Paris, it is already the beginning of spring, and there are green and vibrant scenes everywhere. If you live in the outskirts, you should be very happy. This year will definitely have a good future, but if you are exiled to In the countryside, no matter how beautiful the scene is, it only adds to the sadness.

While walking, before he knew it, Mitchell had already held a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, but the colors were intricate and somewhat inconsistent, purple violets and irises, and brilliant calendula, pansy, a large bouquet. They were tightly squeezed together, but only arranged a little bit, and they were crowded one by one, very messy, and it would give you quite a headache just by looking at them, so he took such a bouquet of flowers and walked towards a household. Looking at the generous and beautiful courtyard.

Christina has been staying in this house all the time, and the farthest is just a little stroll around. Recently, she doesn't even want to go out of the house, and even, if possible, she wants to lie on the bed all the time. , just continue to lie down like this, it seems that this is the best ending for her, and she can live a little easier. It's only been more than three months, but she seems to have passed 30 years, and she is quickly haggard. .

After finally finishing her lunch, she returned to her room weakly, locked the door and collapsed on the bed. The maids outside ignored her at all, and they would not appear in her room again before dinner. The ones at the door of the room, perhaps, the purpose of them being here all the time is to keep her alive, so that the Shani family will not be charged with abuse.

She is really tired, if she knew it was just torture after it started, maybe she wouldn't... A familiar voice sounded, "Are you escaping now, or are you regretting, no matter which behavior it is, it will make you feel tired." I am very disappointed, you chose this path at the beginning, didn’t you, now it’s too late to come back.”

Great joy burst out of Christina's eyes, she turned her head in surprise, and called out the name: "Doctor Bartley, why did you appear here? Could it be..." She quickly looked behind him, However, there was no one there, and the person she was looking forward to did not appear, also, in his heart, he was already synonymous with jealousy and unbearable, why would he continue to think about me.

☆, the beginning of change

"Are you disappointed because of Raoul Chani? Also, your presence here represents a signal that you have been exiled. You cannot and will no longer belong to the most core part of the Chani family. Poor Christina, you should have taken him away in the first place, so that even if you have nothing, you will still be his wife in an upright manner, and no one will come between you, are you really regretting it?" Mitch Er kept staring at her, watching her reaction, what will happen to this girl after three months of cold violence?Transformation or destruction.

Hearing this, Christina calmed down instead. She found a place for herself to sit down, and changed the subject naturally. If she couldn't bear such words, during this time, she would have already despaired of herself. Killed, "Doctor Bartley, did you come here just to hit me? Also, how did you get in? I have the right to make you leave here immediately!"

"Don't be so anxious, Christina, you know, I'm on your side, I'm here to help you, and I'm here to send you a bouquet of flowers." Mitchell took out the The flowers behind her are a large bunch, extremely uncoordinated, with conflicting yellow and blue colors, "This is a gift I carefully selected for you, Christina, you will definitely like it, won't you?"

Christina took the flowers and threw them on the table casually, "Your aesthetics really opened my eyes, Dr. Bartley, really. As long as you put in a little effort to make it, this bouquet of flowers will not be too bad." It's going to be so bad, I'm really convinced, Dr. Bartley. What's the point of you coming here now?"

"It took me a lot of trouble to make it like this, and I did my best for your smile, Mademoiselle Christina Daae. They grow in very different places from each other, and can be combined It took me a lot of trouble to match them together." Mitchell took off a small bundle and sent it to her.

"Forget it, Doctor Bartley, I'm not a fool. From the very beginning, you wanted me to leave the teacher's side. Then, you will be able to win his heart naturally. From the first time When we met, you have been sowing among us, what are you doing for, Doctor Bartley, are you happy to see that my life is not good?" Christina was so angry for the first time, her Her face was flushed red, and anger was almost coming out of her throat.

Mitchell just took it easy and separated the flowers, calendulas and pansies, violets and irises.Put them on both sides clearly. "Why are you angry, Christina, are you angry at my concealment, my ulterior motives, or your own inability to do anything?"

"You!" Christina waved her hand in front of him, but she couldn't beat him no matter what. She had never met such a man, who was unreasonable and unreasonable, and did not behave like a gentleman. "Seeing how I'm trapped in the prison. Cage, you are satisfied, then go, I don't want to say anything to you anymore."

Papapa, Mitchell applauded contentedly, "Christina, you have a very good personality now, I like it very much, if you are such a woman from the beginning of our meeting, you will not be attracted by Raoul. Shani abandoned here. Do you feel that you have been unable to control yourself recently, and some terrible thoughts are often circling in your mind. You want to take revenge, but the real you is shouting, don't do it. So, you don’t even want to go out because you’re scared, the moment you see Raoul Chaney, you want to run up and kill him, right?”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Christina calmed down strangely, "I know you don't like it, I took Mr. Eric's favor for me prematurely, and he sent me on Gao Feng, however, I hurt him, it was my mistake, and I have always blamed myself for it, in my heart, he has always been my most respected teacher. However, this does not mean..."

"I want to plot against you and hurt you?" Mitchell sneered, "For me, you are just an ant, you can't affect me anything, what I do is to help you, Christina, but you don't Seize the opportunity, not at all. From the beginning, I gave you two paths, this is the result of your own choice, who else do you want to blame. Is it because life is not as good as you imagined? Whose fault is that , It is impossible for one person to get everything. The title of Viscountess, do you think that if you don’t pay anything, it will fall from the sky, it’s too naive.”

"What can I do? Do you really know what kind of life I lived in the Shani family?" Christina rushed over, picked up the flowers on the table and threw them on the ground, using her feet She crushed it fiercely, "Get out, since I satisfy your dirty, dirty wishes, get out, you are satisfied."

His tone suddenly softened, like a sigh, "Christina, how many times do you need me to say, I'm here to help you. Look at yourself, don't you feel sad, even angry, When you get angry, you can only take the insignificant things I brought, don’t you feel powerless? Look at the flowers on the ground, even if you crush them, they are still so distinct. It is impossible for a calendula to become an iris , it will never be possible, can't you understand this simple truth until now? If so, I really came in vain, and I am very disappointed in you. "

Christina tightly strangled her neck, what she wanted to do just now, she wanted to curse him with the most vicious language, wanted him to suffer the most miserable thing, is this still her, she endured He couldn't help but sat on the ground, "No, it's impossible, it's not me, how could I possibly think something, what did you do to me?"

Mitchell squatted beside her, picked up her face, and sized her up carefully, "You're really smart this time, and I didn't do anything to you, it just magnified the deepest evil in your heart. Just a little, Christina, your kindness is your weakness, and your enemies will destroy you from here. Look at yourself, you have a beautiful appearance, a good interior, some instruments, and a voice Wonderful, do you know how much worse you are than them?"

Christina seemed to have made a decision, she grabbed his hand suddenly, and said in a word: "Where is it? Why is Raoul always saying good things about them, looking at mine?" The eyes are more impatient? They are all those women, if only Raoul and I left here and went to a place where no one knows us, then..."

"Stop joking." Mitchell immediately shook off her hand, "Christina, if you leave Paris, you will only be able to remain anonymous, without even a formal identity. Think about it, my poor girl, you The little money I carry with me will be used up one day. Raoul doesn’t know any skills other than the aristocrat’s. In the end, he can only rely on his own physical strength to pay back the money. You, doing the hardest work, With the meager salary, you may have a few children, and they will be firmly attached to you, draining your blood little by little. In the end, you will start to complain to each other, and he will recall that he had no food and clothing before. Worrying days, and you, the thorn in his side, this is life."

The weakness in Christina's eyes became less and less, and finally, she stood up, stood in front of him steadily, and said firmly: "Tell me, what exactly do I need to do, I will make them all pay the price, I will To be a real Viscountess!"

"Of course there is no problem, as long as you want, my girl." Mitchell raised the corners of her lips slightly. It seems that her will is far less firm than imagined. Poor Raoul, when a hurt woman makes a decision , they will turn into the scariest monsters, they can do anything. "I'll help you, Christina."

☆, the art of language

"What do I need to do? As you know, Raoul Shani doesn't come to my side very often now. I feel that he still has me in his heart, but he has been shaken. He started to think, we Is your decision correct?" Christina pinched her palm hard, completely ignoring the fact that it was already dripping with blood, Raoul Chaney, you forced me to do this, from now on, I won't I offer my heart wholeheartedly.

"In this case, you have to let him see your tenderness, your thoughtfulness, and your understanding. Let him see you who are pure and without any complaints." Mitchell tapped the table regularly with his cane, "On this basis, let him see the hypocrisy of those women by insinuating. You can't just say, use artistic language to make analogies, hints, and metaphors. You have to cry in front of him, let him recall your past, completely To wash away the impression he has made on you for the past two months, you have to keep in mind that he is your god, you cling to his life and satisfy him with everything, and with you, he is an eternal victory By."

"What are you doing for?" Christina hesitated. She wanted to take revenge on Raoul Chaney, but can this man be trusted? He has never been a simple man. What exactly does he want from me? What to get, in other words, what price do I have to pay, but what else do I have, as long as my life is not taken away, he can come for other things, thinking of this, she has no other worries. "Anyway, I don't have anything to plot against, so you just go ahead, I'm just like this."

Mitchell couldn't help laughing, "Interesting, it's really interesting. Now I finally know why Eric chose you. It is indeed very correct. Don't worry, even if it is for Eric, I will help you Yes, we also want you to come to my house as a Viscountess. I will send an emissary to send the latest news every day, about Raoul Chaney, and his brother, Chani Earl. The crow will be the bridge between us. With this information, it's up to you how...to pull off a wonderful comeback here, and I'll wait for the good news."

"Wait." Christina stopped him, "Doctor Bartley, no, Mr. Bartley, you may not be a real doctor either. I have one last question, a tricolor like me How can Sumire become a real iris? There must be a way, Mr. Bartley, you are a person with great power, I..."

"Impossible, becoming something else is completely absurd." Mitchell showed an inscrutable smile, and slightly lowered the brim of his hat, "Besides, Iris may not like Iris either. Chris Ms. Tina Da'ai, maybe only the pansy can leave a precious impression in his heart. Try to be the white moonlight in his heart. What you want is the most profound, isn't it? This is a war, miss. , you still need to keep working hard.”

Christina frankly accepted his kiss on the back of her hand, very reserved, she had already begun to change, Mitchell jumped out of the window smartly, he heard Christina moving, she was shouting Someone took her outside for a walk, tick tock, everything began to roll forward.

Now that things are starting to change, let's mix things up a little bit, otherwise, life won't be so boring, Erik, you'll love this gift from me.

It's not difficult to get into a ball in a logical way, especially a masquerade ball, you don't even need an invitation card, you just need to have decent clothes, a delicate mask, and then, when a group of people get off the bus , walk among them openly, follow them to go inside, no waiter will stop you, this is the default of this class.

Mitchell walked inside wearing a mask very naturally, took a glass of champagne from the plate carried by the waiter, and walked around with it. The huge black cloak behind him and the cane inlaid with huge emeralds, Here it is just the most common one, not noticeable at all.

Soon, he saw Raoul Chaney, the young and handsome Viscount was naturally the focus of the crowd, even though he carefully dressed, he still couldn't escape the eyes of the sharp-eyed ladies, he looked very happy, no man Will keep calm in the flattery of a group of beautiful people, especially when he returns home with only darkness, and the cold face of his lover, Christina is really the worst way to choose.

He walked over very quickly, inserted between them naturally, and then put his hand on Raoul Chaney's shoulder, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I have to borrow this gentleman temporarily, and I and He has some things to talk about alone. Sorry, please give us some time. I know that a considerate lady like you must be very understanding. Thank you very much. Then, let's sit there for a while Come on, Mr. Charney."

Raoul Chaney was still a little confused, so he followed Mitchell's strength and walked outside. On the second floor, they found a quieter box and sat down. Raoul was obviously still a little confused In the fog, "excuse me, who are you, what are you looking for me for, about the Shani family?"
