Chapter 24 Chocolate Mousse

There are already a lot of people at the gate of the Paris Opera House.Hilda hugged her clothes and finally squeezed to the door.

"Ahem, Gus, it's me!" She immediately saw the somewhat familiar ticket inspector shout.Gus, who was standing at the entrance of the theater, was maintaining order at this time. He heard someone calling him, and turned his head to see Hilda who was stopped outside.

He didn't know what to say to the companions beside him, and let them take Hilda in.

"Hey! Sir, why can that girl go in first!" A man shouted angrily when he saw Hilda walk into the theater. "This gentleman," Gus said with a smile, "she's an apprentice in the theater."

Hilda went up the stairs to her room.

Kristen is preparing for her upcoming performance.Hilda put her clothes on the bed and began to tidy up slowly.

She wasn't going to watch "The Triumph of Don Juan" tonight. Although she was looking forward to Eric's new play, she still wasn't going to watch it—she knew something big was going to happen tonight.

Hilda sat back on the sofa chair and stared at the slightly pink ceiling in a daze—the sex made her very uncomfortable.She was a little worried, but besides the sex, she was also worried about Eric.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a commotion outside the door—the sound of people's anxious footsteps, screams, and crying all mixed together.

"What happened?" Hilda quickly recovered, opened the door and asked.She reached out and grabbed a little girl in a white ballet skirt, and asked anxiously, "Miss, could you please tell me what happened downstairs?"

The little girl still had tears on her face, and she burst into tears when she heard Hilda's question: "I...on stage...Pianji...Christine...the mask..." She cried said, wiping tears with the back of his hand in a panic.

"Mia, go back to your room and calm down." Mrs. Geary said to the girl named Mia when she saw them approaching.Mia heard Mrs. Geary's words, and ran away quickly crying.

"I'll tell you, Miss Hilda." Mrs. Geary said to her, standing in the doorway. "May I come in?" "Please." Hilda pushed back a step, and Mrs. Geary came in.

"I believe you already know about the Phantom of the Opera." Mrs. Geary turned to Hilda in front of her and said, "And you also have an intersection with him." Hilda knew that she could no longer tell any more lies, so she nodded her head in response. "He killed Pianji with a lasso, and then took the stage instead of Pianji—Don Juan in that scene needed to wear a black cloak, covering everything except his hands." Mrs. Geary sat down and gestured for Xi Erda could also sit down.

"Kristen was the heroine of that scene, so the two of them were on the same stage. But things didn't go as smoothly as Phantom imagined—he was recognized by Christine." Hilda heard this and thought of the day when K What Christine told her about Viscount Shani's plan. "Christine wanted to escape, but the phantom held her back. Finally, Christine lifted the cloak and took off the phantom's mask." Mrs. Geary's tone was still as calm as before, but the speed of speech became faster .

"He took Christine and left. When the curtain behind it was drawn, everyone found Pianji who had been hanged." "Where did they go, madam?" Hilda asked anxiously after hearing this.

"I think you should know, miss." Mrs. Geary didn't answer, she looked into Hilda's blue eyes.

It's the basement!It can only be the basement!

Hilda stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, ma'am." Mrs. Geary also stood up, and she said, "I know there is a place to go in, and he will never lock it."

She took Hilda to the backstage, and stretched out her hand to pull an inconspicuous short rope - a secret passage only half a person's height appeared in front of them.

Hilda hastily got in.It was a little dark in this secret passage, perhaps because there were not so many candles.She followed the faint candlelight and walked inside.

"Be careful!" Hilda heard someone shout and quickly pushed back a step. "Pa—" She quickly lowered her head to see that there was a noose trap under her feet, and a red rope appeared in front of her.

"Hilda?" This was the voice of Viscount Shani, who followed Daroga.

"Hands at eye level, everyone," said Daloga, who was leading the way.Hilda quickly followed suit, and Viscount Shani also raised his hands.

The three of them were walking in this dark tunnel, and a door appeared in front of them.

"I want to go in!" Viscount Shani walked in front of Daloga first, and opened the door. "Viscount! This is—" Daroga shouted anxiously. He stretched out his hand to pull Viscount Charney back, but he had already walked in.

"This is the torture chamber..." Daloga shouted loudly, he turned and pointed to the other way and said to Hilda, "Go over there, I'll go in and find the Viscount."

"Daloga!" Hilda cried anxiously, tugging at his coat.

Daroga had stepped into the torture chamber with one foot, and he said lightly, "I've done another good deed. Take care, Hilda." After speaking, Daroga went in and closed the door.

Hilda covered her mouth and couldn't believe it. She knew how terrible the torture room was, and she almost died in the torture room.

But now the situation could not stop her, and Hilda raised her hands again and walked towards the path that Darrowja had pointed out for her.

The damp and dark passage made Hilda very uncomfortable, so she quickened her pace and walked to the end.At the end of the road was a wall, and Hilda felt with her hand, trying to find the mechanism.Sure enough, she found a button on the right side of the wall and pressed it—the wall in front of her was opened, and inside was not the hall leading directly to the basement, but around the underground lake.

There is no boat here, Hilda quickly glanced at the surrounding situation.

She gritted her teeth and stepped into the water.The icy lake water made her wake up a lot, and she walked slowly in the water to the place where the light was shining in front of her.

The lake water covered her waist, and the splash of water wet her long brown curly hair, and she felt her calf shivering from the biting lake water.

But she didn't stop, her eyes were fixed on the light ahead.

Finally reached the other side, Hilda fell to the ground as soon as she got out of the water, she touched her cold legs - she was unconscious.

"Everyone is afraid of me! Everyone hates me! No one accepts me! No one pities me!"

Eric's angry and desperate roar came from the basement, and Hilda burst into tears uncontrollably when she heard Eric's words.

"why why!"

Eric's roar reached Hilda's ears again. She cried and stood up with difficulty while supporting the floor tiles with her hands. She supported the wall and continued to walk there.

"It's all because of this face!"
