[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

Some gigantic monster lay dormant, and he watched them with one eye open, waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.

"Sometimes, you should let go, because there is nothing you can do." The voice sounded again, like a demon in the night, Raoul couldn't help covering his head, no, this Quiet the sound quickly.

The Persian noticed that he was abnormal, he immediately took a step back, grabbed Raoul, and whispered: "What are you doing, we are very tight now, every minute is very important, and , the roads here are even more complicated, if you are not careful, you will be completely lost here, and I will not be able to find you."

Raoul held his hand in panic, "Did you hear that, just now there was a demon whispering in my ear, he was right beside me, I heard it when I was in the manager's office just now! "

"It's Eric." The Persian was very calm, "Eric has the ability to let you hear his voice anywhere. From now on, no matter what voice you hear, don't answer. Don't talk. We are approaching his lair in the ground step by step, so we can't be too careful."

This man can be trusted, Raoul thought, but now, he can also trust him, he clenched the photo of Christina in his clothes, suddenly felt endless power, he was able to continue walking again, Christina, I will definitely save you from the hands of the devil, he was so sure in his heart.

The Persians led him down carefully in the dark. They hid quietly in the secret passage without saying a word, and missed everyone else.However, they could hear the footsteps of the police going away, and the managers found the three missing members of the mechanical team who fell to the ground and fell asleep.

All of this illustrates a problem - what happened tonight is a conspiracy that has been arranged long ago.

Raoul didn't dare to think about it anymore, every second was a torment for him, and all kinds of fantasies tormented him in his mind.Just then, they came to the second underground floor.A few candles emitted a strange light through the glass cover, and Raoul found that this place was actually an exquisite, interesting and magical place, as weird as Guillol's treasure chest, but as scary as a tomb.This is exactly what the basement of the Paris Opera House looks like.

They dodged under the theater floor, trying not to be seen by the firefighters who were running around, and every step was very firm for them. After all, it is not easy for a person to disappear in a specific place. .

At this time, Mitchell was sitting leisurely in Eric's underground kingdom. For this place, he was as familiar as his own home. He drank black tea very leisurely, and Clark stood obediently five miles away from him. steps away.Eric locked Christina into a small room and sat there without saying a word.

When Mitchell saw the crow fly back, he smiled and said, "Don't you go and see the young lady who was captured by you, she might feel very flustered sitting in the room alone, Especially now, she is most eager to have someone to rely on, a wonderful opportunity."

Eric just sat there, and Mitchell could only bite the bullet and continue. Anyway, he is also a well-rounded character, and the atmosphere did not appear awkward. "Gu Bo just came back, and he told me the news that the young lady's knight brought your old friend, the Persian, and they are coming over. However, their tone is really not very good. They just met The rat-catchers almost killed them half-lived, ignorance is terrible."

The crow quacked a few times, and wanted to go back to monitor them. He always enjoyed this kind of work, Mitchell grabbed his tail feathers, "You can rest comfortably on the side , Today is not a magical theme, besides, they will receive a very good reception soon, Eric, your cool torture chamber will definitely impress them enough. I hope you will learn a lot from it. They can know that some places are not easy to set foot in."

Mitchell got up slowly, patted the non-existent folds on the clothes, "Look, I'm going to rescue the lost girl, please stay tuned for good news."

The author has something to say: I think the torture chamber is very classic, but it is difficult for me to write it myself, so I simply posted the content of the original work.Please note: The following parts are selected from the original works.

The Persian led Raoul towards the small staircase they had just passed.They stopped and poked around at every step.In this way, they finally came to the third underground floor.

The Persian motioned for Raoul to kneel on the ground and crawl on his knees and one hand, keeping his gun raised with the other.They climbed all the way to the base of the wall.

The abandoned "King Laval" set is placed against the wall, and a large pillar stands beside it.There is just enough space between the two for one person.It is here that Joseph Bouquet hanged himself.

The Persian who was kneeling and crawling on the ground stopped suddenly, as if he was listening carefully.He looked at Raoul with some hesitation, and then he looked at the second basement above his head, a faint light came down from the gap between the floors.Obviously, the light made the Persian very difficult. Finally, he nodded, made a decision, and quickly slipped into the gap between the set of "King Raval" and the big pillar.

Raoul followed closely.

The Persian tapped on the wall with his free hand, and Raoul saw him give it a push, just as he had pushed the mirror in Kristina's dressing room.

Suddenly, a stone was pushed...a hole appeared in the wall...the Persian drew his pistol, motioned to Raoul to do the same, and loaded it.Still on his knees, he crawled into the hole.Raoul wanted to rush ahead of him, but at this moment, he could only follow behind.

The entrance of the cave was so narrow that the Persians were forced to stop as soon as they entered.Raoul heard him knock on the surrounding stone walls, then took out the lantern, lay down on the ground, looked at the things under his feet, and then immediately extinguished the lantern.Raoul heard him whisper in his ear: "We must slide down a few meters without making a sound, take off your boots." The Persian took off his boots and handed them to the Raoul, "Put the boots by the wall . . . we found them when we came out."

The Persian climbed a few more steps forward, and as soon as he turned around, their heads touched each other.He said to Raoul: "Now, holding the edge of the wall with my hands, I will slide into his house. You will do the same. Don't be afraid, I will catch you with my hands below."

The Persians started to move after speaking.Presently Raoul heard a heavy thump from below, evidently the sound of a Persian landing on the ground.Raoul shuddered, fearing that the noise would attract attention.

However, after the sound, there was no response, and Raoul became even more worried.how so?According to the judgment of the Persians, it was the inner wall of the house where they entered.However, Christina's voice could not be heard! ...no yelling! ... No help! ... without crying! ...God!Could it be that they came a step late? ...

Raoul climbed into the hole, gripped nervously on the inner edge of the stone wall, and slid down.Suddenly, he felt a resistance.

"It's me!" said the Persian, "be quiet!"

The two were stuck in the cave motionless, listening carefully...the silent darkness around them has never been so terrifying and heavy...

, the Persians lit a lantern, and the candlelight suddenly fell on a strange tree whose branches and leaves seemed to be alive...the branches climbed up the wall...and disappeared into the ceiling.

The range illuminated by the candle was limited, and at first it was difficult for them to see what it was.The first thing they saw was a corner of a tree branch, then a leaf, and then they could see nothing... nothing, only the faint light of the lantern swallowing the darkness quietly... Raoul reached out and touched...

"My God!" he exclaimed, "this wall is a mirror!"

"Yes! It's a mirror!" The Persian also seemed very excited.He brushed the cold sweat off his forehead with his gun-raised hand, and continued, "We fell into the torture chamber!"

This is a small hexagonal room. The inner walls of the six walls are all inlaid with mirrors, and there is no gap from top to bottom.In one corner of the room, you can clearly see the mechanism in the mirror... a small turntable for turning... yes, yes, I recognize it... behind one of the small turntables... there is a cycad tree ...the trunk made of iron, the branches made of iron...just for hanging.

☆、wrong choice

Christina sat on the chair with her back straight. When she heard the door open, her back stiffened for a moment, and she immediately straightened up even more. "I didn't keep my promise. It was my mistake to make an appointment with Raoul without permission. However, I absolutely cannot tolerate your current behavior. You..."

She turned her head and was stunned, a feeling of betrayal gradually welled up, and her big eyes burst into tears like this, which was pitiful, "Dr. Bartley, why are you here? Could it be that you and that Are men also in the same group? Could it be that from the beginning, your concern for me was false, oh no, why did you..."

Mitchell calmly put the food in his hand in front of her, and sat down in front of her, very frankly. "Christina, ask your heart, ask it, from the bottom of your heart, do you really think that I am a demon, that I am an accomplice who helps Eric to deceive, imprison, and imprison you? "

The poor girl fell face up on the bed. "No, I don't want to believe it either, but in this place, who else can I trust."

Mitchell smiled slightly and pulled her up, "I'm here to rescue you, my princess." He was so gentle and reliable, and his hands were so strong, Christina couldn't help but I thought, if I hadn't met Raoul first, if we hadn't loved each other like that, maybe I would have been shaken.

"Okay, Christina, if you want to go out, you have to eat first. Only in this way can you keep going. If your own body collapses, who do you say you are with?" He gently placed the food in front of her.

Christina took the tableware and began to swallow big mouthfuls. She was indeed very hungry. She didn't eat well all day today.As soon as she opened her appetite, she almost felt that her stomach was connected to another time and space, no matter how much food she had, she couldn't satisfy it.

While she was concentrating on eating, she didn't see that Mitchell lit a handful of spices and threw them into the corner of the room.He wandered around in the room, and said bitterly: "Your room is really good, much better than mine. I only have one bed, one table, and no chairs. You can feel at ease here Take it for a while, and I will find a chance to take you out."

Kristina swallowed the food in her mouth in a hurry, her eyes burst out with great hope, she hurriedly grabbed his hand, and asked eagerly: "Can you really help me out, can you Should I go out and look for Raoul now? I made an appointment with him to fly away tonight, but I suddenly disappeared. He must be frightened. I can't let him be in danger, I..."

Mitchell pulled her hand off her body calmly, and asked in a gentle tone: "To be honest, I've always been surprised, Eric is very handsome, and he treats you very well, you can't deny it In this regard, he carefully taught you music, he restored your talent, and he also trusted you and told you the secret here, didn't he? You are in danger now, you have lost a very important thing Isn't it something?"

Kristina subconsciously covered her finger. There should have been a gold ring on it. Mitchell looked at her with sea-like eyes, and she couldn't help but say more, "I don't know why, I'm very happy." Thanks to Eric, without him, I would not be so close to music, he led me to a new world! But, the closer I get to him, the more scared I am, maybe because, I know, I will never be able to Looking up at him from the bottom of the mountain, the gap in talent between us is too huge, and at the back, I can't even hear my own voice, and I feel like I'm about to be swallowed by him."

"This is indeed an extremely terrifying thing. When a person loses himself, to a certain extent, he no longer exists. You are a smart girl."

Christina couldn't help talking more, and Raoul would be even more jealous when he heard about another man, and he would go crazy, so she stopped talking to him about Eric.She pursed her lips and said: "Eric once told me that his mother was never willing to hug him, and the first gift he received was a mask, and his mother was completely unwilling to get close to him, I don't Can't understand why a mother wouldn't accept her perfect son. The way he looks at me scares me, I always have a feeling that he loves me just because I'm the first to be so close to him woman, I satisfied his desire for a mother!"

Mitchell opened his arms and hugged her, "Oh, Christina, you are much smarter than I imagined, if I didn't already have my heart, I would have wanted to marry you from Viscount Shani. You took it, I have always said this to Eric, but he did not believe me. After all, let a person who has never been in human society experience every nuance It’s a bit too difficult for the emotions, not to mention that it’s difficult for ordinary people to do. Because emotion is not single, there is not only love between lovers, but also family affection and friendship, it’s just a difference in proportion.”

She mustered up her courage again, and continued: "I always thought that a handsome man like him does not lack the love of a woman. As long as he goes out, what am I? The more I am with him, the more I am I feel guilty for Raoul, and my sympathy for him fades a little bit. His humbleness just scares me. What am I going to give, what is he going to get from me. My fear is growing day by day, Mr. Bartley , you must be able to understand me, right?"

He sighed and comforted: "Of course I can understand, Christina, what the doctor needs to heal is not only the wounds on a person's body, but also his soul. Eric is just lonely for too long. He Staying underground for too long, some things are missing from him, but he doesn't care, poor girl, if only I found out the feelings he has for you sooner, things wouldn't be like this, but, It’s still too late.”

The girl was still in bewilderment, she asked curiously: "Then, Dr. Bartley, how did you know Eric, and why are you here now?"

"Oh, silly girl, everyone needs a doctor." Dr. Bartley blinked playfully, "It is of course his best choice for a strange but highly skilled doctor to come to this place, especially since I will soon Going back to London, I'm only here for a short trip."

Christina couldn't help standing up, her fingers kept stirring the corner of her clothes, "Doctor Bartley, is there something wrong with his body, can you..."

"Shh... this is a very private question. I will not tell anyone other than the patient and his relatives. This is the doctor's principle!" Mitchell couldn't help rubbing her "I understand your feelings very well. After all, he is still your teacher. You should care about him. However, for those who think they love you, it is less harmful to refuse directly. Indecision will only hurt more people, you understand?"

At this moment, Eric pushed the door open and came in. His eyes were like flames, bursting with anger. Mitchell hurriedly lit the candles on the table, and the room was much brighter.

Eric stared at the frightened woman like this, he almost wanted to curse her and insult her with the most vicious language, but he really didn't have much vocabulary.Mitchell pulled him aside, "Eric, calm down, she didn't do anything wrong, she just tried not to hurt you!"

"Hurt me!" Eric tore his chest, he was almost roaring, "I just want her to hurt me, my sincerity is treated as dirt and let her step on her feet, what do you want? , just say it! Christina da Aie, you are really an unsightly woman!"

Christina shivered like a little rabbit in the corner. She had never seen a person so angry, especially Eric. .His anger had never been so clearly displayed in front of her, and the girl was afraid.

Mitchell could hardly hold back the smile on his face. He turned his back to the girl and pretended to try hard to stop Eric, but in fact, he knew how much effort he used.Sure enough, he was thrown into the corner by Eric in just one click, and he simply pretended to pass out.

The man standing in front of her and protecting him obviously couldn't help him anymore, Eric approached her step by step, Christina quickly held the table knife on the table in her hand, and said tremblingly: "You, you Don't get any closer, otherwise, I don't know what I will do!"

There was a cruel smile on Eric's face, "Do it, do you want to stab this knife into my chest, or your own? If it's mine, you can come as you like, I Your heart is here, don't miss it, come on, my girl, kill me with a knife, and you will be truly relaxed and free!"

Christina just kept trembling. Trembling and crying, she murmured someone's name, and Eric's anger grew even higher, "I gave almost everything for you, for you, I begged others just to get A handsome face, but now, you tell me that you fear me because of this face?"

The author has something to say:

☆, unknown farewell

Eric laughed wildly, "Since you abandoned me without hesitation because I was handsome, then I can show you what real fear is!"

He reached out to his face and tore off the mask abruptly, not least why the mask was torn off so easily today.Mitchell opened one eye and looked at Eric secretly. He was almost sure who the reason was for Eric to be so manic today. Yes, but I won't have such good luck in the future.

Eric dragged Christina roughly, forced her to open her eyes, and put his face in front of her. It was a face that belonged to a dead man. Putting her hands on his face, her nails were scratching on it. Those were dead muscles!

"What, did I scare you? It's possible!... My handsome face is just a mask!" He roared like crazy, "Tear it off, just like just now! Come on! Come tear it off! Tear it up! Tear it up again! I want you to tear it up! Where are your hands? Give me your hands!...Your hands are not enough, let me help you! Let's tear off this mask together."

Christina was in tears, she couldn't even scream, but was dragged forward by him, Eric's anger still didn't subside in the slightest, "Come on, touch it with your heart again, like me Why does such a man hide under the ground, this is the reason, you can sympathize with me now, do you think I am very pitiful, do you think I want to crawl under your feet like a dog! Christina Da'ai, if you don't have this beautiful skin, you are nothing, do you want me to help you tear off this mask on your face!"

The poor girl was about to fall down, Eric was still shaking her body frantically, "You are really a shameless woman, you hang me and Raoulcha with your so-called sympathy Ni, you must feel very proud of yourself. By the way, how can I forget that the doctor lying here is almost your prisoner. Ha, Miss. You must be very proud, we are all captured by you Playing. Playing between applause, but you didn't think about it, the handsome man you thought was a real devil, now, you can only live here with a zombie forever, this is your ending!"

As soon as the words fell, Christina couldn't bear it any longer and fainted. Eric wanted to vent more, but he suddenly felt drowsy, his body shook a few times, his eyes Can't help but close it.

Mitchell caught him from behind, but he was a little happy in his heart. This is all right, all the dark side in his heart should be vented out. He was dissatisfied with Christina's various behaviors. After that, the relationship between them The fate will be completely cut off.As long as Kristina is given to the viscount smoothly, it will be done once and for all. After working so hard for so long, the victory finally appeared in front of my eyes.

He carefully moved Eric to his bedroom, which has been transformed by Clark into an extremely comfortable place, with soft. Fragrance, this fragrance can make people have a good dream.Otherwise, how do you think they would suddenly fall into a coma.

During this time, Clark has quickly dragged Christina to the room next to the torture chamber, and the couple of them can finally meet each other.

Suddenly, they heard a man's voice, his tone was cold, "Come on, girl, stay here well, if you feel bored, you can climb to the invisible window near the ceiling and see the inside The bright light... just open the black curtain and turn off the light here, you will be very pleasantly surprised, this is a gift from me, it doesn't matter, tomorrow, no, tonight at 11 You can stay here as long as you want until [-]:[-]. I am very generous on this point."

Then they heard a muffled fall, as if a person had been thrown hard to the ground.Viscount Shani couldn't wait to call her name. "Christina! Christina!"

We waited anxiously for her answer to come from the next room, however, we heard nothing.It is impossible for her not to hear the Viscount's voice!The Viscount had to call her name again and again.

Finally, a faint voice reached our ears. "Am I dreaming?" she asked herself.

"Christina! Christina! I'm Raoul!" Silence.

"Answer me, Christina! . . . If there is no one else in your room, answer me, for God's sake!" Christine whispered Raoul's from the other side of the wall. Name, as if in this way she can gain endless courage.

"Yes! Yes! It's me! It's not a dream! . . . Christina, believe me! . . . We are here to save you . . . but nothing can go wrong! . . . inform us."

Christina suddenly collapsed, "Oh, Raoul, you are still alive, how I wish to see you, after seeing him, I really want... Raoul, I was still alive with you He is hesitant, I even want to go back and be with him, for his kindness, but now, how can I do it, how can I die in the cold ground with a zombie, Raoul, Before this, I can see you again and hear your voice, I am already satisfied, you run away quickly."

The cold voice followed like a shadow, and he suddenly appeared, startling them, "Give up, my girl, no one can escape from the torture chamber, they are destined to die here, my dear girl, why Instead of looking in through the little window I told you to see the man you love for the last time."

Christina suddenly had endless courage, and she shouted: "Eric, a man like you is doomed to be unhappy, you don't know how to love someone, whether you are handsome or ugly, Whether you are talented or not, you are destined not to be loved, no one will love you!"

"Forget it, Christina, don't you hesitate, between Dr. Mitchell Bartley and this viscount." The voice was full of sarcasm, "If it weren't for Dr. Bartley not often appearing in the theater , your heart is probably going to fall on him, especially when he hugs you, have you noticed the look in your eyes? It's the eyes of an admirer, Christina, what qualifications do you have? Blame me!"

He quickly became calm again, "It's okay, I'm an ugly monster, you are an ugly woman who is easy going, isn't it just a perfect match between us. Christina, I will give you the last 18 hours , with your 'true love', after that, you make a decision, whether we go to hell together, or let him leave safely, at least prove your love for him, the choice is in your hands, my girl, you Doomed to die underground."

Then they heard a rush of footsteps and he turned away.Raoul immediately leaned against the wall, and asked with concern: "Kristina, are you okay? He didn't hurt you, did he? Christina, please answer me, I beg you, give me one at least." reply!"

After a long time, they heard Christina's indistinct sobs. She choked up and said, "Raoul, I beg you to believe in my heart. I have only you in my heart from the beginning to the end. I didn't hesitate." However, for Eric's feelings, I have always only respected him. For Dr. Bartley, I just regard him as my brother. Brother, Raoul, do you understand? I have already handed me over to you, and I will never Will betray you."

"Of course I know, Kristina." Raoul shouted excitedly, "Christina, I know very well that since your father passed away, you have no one to rely on. I hope to have a brother, an elder, who can care about you and take care of you. Christina, from now on, I will be your lover, your brother, your elder, I will give you all my love , Christina, you can't give up, we all have hope!"

Kristina struggled to get up from the ground, and they could hear the poor girl's shambling footsteps, and then something banged on the door, and her desperate voice came over, "No, what am I going to do? Yes, I know that the key to the torture chamber is in his life and death bag, which contains one of the two keys, but he locked this door, and none of us can get out unless I choose to be with him. He is forever and ever. Oh, Raoul, we only have such a little time left, as long as you live happily, I will be happy, you must be happy!"

"No, we still have time. We can find it. I don't believe there is only one way out!" Raoul suddenly felt boundless passion.

He calmed down, grabbed the Persian by the collar, and roared: "There must be a secret door, we can open it from here, but where is it, you must have a clue, don't you!"

He wanted to renew the girl's courage in this way, and he banged on the wall, as if they would find a way out.Love, indeed, has a strange magic power.At this moment, suddenly, he heard a strange sound, and then the door opened.

The author has something to say: Rensen is really lonely as blood. Every time this happens, I really want to write some sadistic articles to take revenge on the society.If you keep diving, be careful that I write the ending of total annihilation.haha. ╭(╯^╰)╮

☆, Echo of the Devil

What opened was not the door of the torture chamber!The Persians hurriedly took Raoul back and hid their figures among the shadowy iron branches. If Eric saw them here, the consequences would be extremely serious. They would not be able to survive tomorrow anyway. They are now What is needed most is time.

The poor girl had only time to let out a short scream, but nothing was heard from her again.Eric hugged her, "Do you think I will really let you spend the last time together, no, when you wake up, their dead bodies are watching you by your side, how sweet Come on, you will be very happy."

He knocked on the wall a few times as if teasing, "Ha, do you really think that I don't know that two little bugs fell into my torture chamber? Do you think this leads to my bedroom? The temperature is really too high, isn’t it? Didn’t you realize that this is a tropical forest in Congo? Just wait to die here!” After speaking, the devil let out a terrifying laugh.

At this time, the viscount seemed to have collapsed, screaming like a madman, hitting the wall at the same time, and the Persians couldn't stop him.Still they could only hear the devil laughing wildly, and perhaps Raoul could only hear his own voice.Then, there was a sound of fighting, someone fell to the floor and was dragged away...the door slammed shut...then everything was still!All around them was the silent African jungle! ...

The poor Viscount was crying and fussing. He thought that the two could rely on each other to get through these difficult times, but now, how will that devil treat this kind and beautiful girl? He has completely become a devil , How could Christina like such a man.My girl, as long as you are safe and sound, even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate.

At this moment, a light voice appeared next to his ear, "Raoulciani, are you really willing to give your life for Christine da Aie?"

Even though he was still a little scared, Raoul immediately cheered up, and he replied in a low voice but firmly: "Yes, as long as my dear Christina can escape from the shadow of Eric's devil and let her live happily, I am willing to give anything, as long as she can be happy!"

That voice chuckled twice, "Even if she lives a happy life in the future and is with someone who is far inferior to you, you will fall into hell forever, and even your soul will no longer belong to you. Do you have nothing to do with the ashes, ask yourself, do you really not care at all?"

Raoul was quite big. He said solemnly: "I don't regret it, as long as one of us is happy, that's fine. As long as she can live happily, I don't care."

"Okay." The voice said briskly, "I can make her have no shadow for the rest of her life, and I will also erase her memory. From now on, there will be no Raoulchani in her meeting. This man exists, and you can only die of heat and dehydration in this hot Congo forest, tell me one last time, you will not regret it!"

Raoul yelled out holding his breath: "I don't regret it!" However, when he really said this sentence, he felt a strange feeling, his heart was empty, as if a piece was missing, it was your love. The girl who has been with you for so long, are you really willing to let her go like this, no, Raoul, you can't be so selfish, love is dedication, you have to give everything for her.
