[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

However, he failed. The man grabbed him very accurately and shouted: "You little bastard, where are you going wild again? Do you want to leave this ghost place even in your dreams? Do you really want to leave this place?" You've always disliked me, thinking that I'm not worthy of being your father!" He raised his hand and beat him hard.

The child began to cry miserably. He didn't understand why his father would beat him up every time he got angry after drinking. He didn't understand what his father meant by insulting him.Eric watched his young self being severely beaten, his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't even exist in this space.It's so sad, is that why he can't remember things from before he was five years old?If he is not this man's child, whose child is he, and why was he born in this world?

The scene changed rapidly, and when I saw my young self again, I was in the forest again. It seems that Mitchell took away all the irrelevant things, and only kept the scene of their meeting.He saw himself running over happily, and shouted: "Brother, brother, brother, you finally appeared here again, I really waited for you for a long time, this time, will you stay here for a long time, I have a lot to say to you."

Mitchell knelt down, looked at him tenderly, and quickly hid the trace of impatience in his eyes, "Eric, everyone has their own way to go, I can't stay here for you, there is You have to learn to let go. However, even if I tell you now, you don’t quite understand it. Forget it, Eric, just have fun by yourself. Sooner or later, you have to adapt to a life alone. This is you No one can change the trajectory of the future, but one day, there will be someone who will come to your side and will never leave you."

Eric was still so naive, just pestering him to play around, Eric looked at him with a kind of sadness, is this the life he couldn't recall before?It's too funny, if it's Eric like this, then it wouldn't be a pity to abandon him completely.

Little Eric still entangled Mitchell and pulled his sleeve, puzzled, "Brother, why do you think they don't like me? Eat, dress, take a bath, and never pester them for anything, just like those clingy children. When they are not with me, I will come out by myself and play in the forest, even if I am alone It doesn't matter. But, Dad, he still wants to kill me as soon as he sees me, and he is worried that once I really die, he will... So, I think, he is still worried about me. "

Mitchell stroked his hair tenderly, and said slowly: "Eric, you have to understand that not everything goes well when people live in this world. Moreover, in all kinds of... Among the people, the status is very different. They just regard each other as the most important. It’s not that they don’t love you, they just love themselves more. You will find someone who really loves you. Love you more than anything .Be hopeful for the future, Eric, you can be a wonderful person."

There is another sentence that the young Eric couldn't hear or understand, but Eric heard it. There is a fact that I can't tell you now-it is really not their child, and your fate with them is coming to an end up.

He is not their child!Eric staggered and knelt down on the ground. He didn't expect it at all. He had always been lucky in his heart, if, if it was just a wonderful accident, it would be fine.However, the truth had been spread so bloody in front of him that now, he had no choice but to believe it.Why tell him, tell him now!Resentment grew in his heart. Since he didn't think I was your child, why did he raise me? Why did he tear me up after giving me hope?

But he still calmed down, and continued to read, he suddenly understood, Mitchell let him get his memory

The reason is that some facts can't convince him, he can only see and judge with his own eyes.Eric's eyes became more determined. From the day he left the home and was abandoned by them, he had completely abandoned his form and became a complete Eric. These things have nothing to do with him.The only thing that drove him here was his thirst for the truth.

Eric was very happy and Mitchell played in the forest for a long time before reluctantly leaving.Watching his figure disappear at the edge of the forest, Clark suddenly appeared, as if he had been by Mitchell's side just now. He looked at Eric's leaving figure with anxiety in his eyes, "I didn't expect that being sealed by... The seal of the dark, dark creature here was suddenly loosened, and a pregnant woman was allowed to break in. That creature has been completely wiped out by me, but his blood and power have already been sent into it. In that child's body, I can only temporarily seal him, one day, he will transform into a dark creature, his life has been completely changed, master, these are all my mistakes."

Mitchell waved his hand, "No, if it's your mistake, it's also my mistake. I didn't estimate his strength, so I sent you there rashly. The problem is also my reason. Clark, you There is no need to blame ourselves, we need to take care of this child during this period of time, and after his fifth birthday, the seal will be strengthened, and the next development will depend on the sky. , is still a dark. Dark creature. I can only try my best to give him a chance to choose his own life."

The guilt on Clark's face became even more serious, "I'm sorry, master, he is a talented child. If there is no such thing, his future achievements will be limitless. However, now I have seen that his life is indispensable to suffering .”

"Everyone has his own fate." Mitchell sighed, "All we can do is try our best to watch one or two in the dark. For the rest, we have to wait and see how the situation develops."

Eric clenched his fists tightly. So this is his life. He was supposed to be a dark creature?Perhaps it would be better to completely become a dark creature from the very beginning, at least not to be looked down upon by others, and he can still live a dignified life, even if he has been in the dark all the time, it will be much better than now.

"Clark." Mitchell suddenly stopped him, "I've been thinking, if I hadn't left home on that day and appeared there rashly, I wouldn't be what I am now, immortal , Sometimes, I really want to die once and for all. However, I know very well in my heart that even if I die, I can’t get eternal peace, it’s just going from one world to another. So, I don't want to put this kid in a situation where he can live a normal human life. It's not a happy thing to be a creature like us."

"Master." Clark couldn't continue, "Sometimes I also want it, or I should just end my life. This kind of life is too long. If I stay here for a long time, I can see everything. I have experienced it, as if nothing in this world can stir up ripples in your heart."

Eric was terrified. He didn't know what he should think. They should be happy. There are many people in this world who wish to have more time, but they deeply hate this society. Yes, this kind of life, perhaps, only by experiencing it yourself can you understand their true feelings.

Mitchell gently stroked the cane in front of him, "I've been thinking about a problem, if, when the time comes, I really don't find someone or something that can rekindle my enthusiasm, I guess I will design My own death, I have started now. If I can't wait any longer, I will send my own life gate up and tell them that if they get my blood, they can gain eternal life. In order to steal my power, they must I will try my best to end my life, maybe, I can close my eyes temporarily without thinking about anything, and rest for a while, I have been really tired for too long."

Mitchell threw a small pendant to Clark, and said seriously: "Clark, everything is in your own hands, and I will hand over your destiny to you now. It contains the position you were attached to at the beginning, That is, what you grow, if you destroy it, you may be severely injured and sleep for many years, but I don't know the specific result."

Clark smiled, "That's good, I really don't know, why humans have always wanted to live for so long, learning will be boring one day, I don't need to know everything, it's been too long now. Look Everyone I know is getting old, and I can only stay the way I am now."

Mitchell smiled helplessly, "It's really sad. I still have to design my own death. Logically speaking, shouldn't death be the easiest thing in this world? Why do I have to reach the top? However, if I really I have found the destined person, I will give this walking stick to him, and he will control my destiny."

Clark's eyes widened. This was the first time he had heard of this, "Master, this... it contains your ashes. Didn't you say that you had already scattered them back then? Shouldn't it disappear? Is it in the air?"
