beauty and money

Chapter 54 Before the Dark Night

After school started, Mary, who was a landlord, found that there were always some inexplicable people haunting her house. Fortunately, Yarring acted as her servant and followed her around, otherwise Mary didn't know what to do.Since philosophy courses often have more time than other subjects, this is almost a must-choice course for noble children to pack in Oxford.So Mary has a lot of free time to start her creation.At the beginning, the writing was not smooth, because the previous newspapers preferred to have critical articles. At that time, Mary’s cynicism certainly met their standards, but now, after various changes, her mood is completely different.Therefore, the novel she adapted based on her experience in Nemer was not published by the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief recommended her article to the women's newspaper, which was full of all kinds of erotic, gothic adventure stories.He thought Mary's story would be well received if it was published in it.

Marie, who got the reply, was undoubtedly disappointed, because she thought she was still critical of that kind of love novel, besides, didn't she describe speculators and rich and powerful lords very well?What she didn't know, of course, was that the editor wanted to give space to the more engaging Eliot's murder essay, which had never been done before, provocative and intriguing to read.

On the contrary, the women's newspapers praised Mary's article greatly, and many readers requested to publish the book after it was published. Because "Josangjue Temple" needed proofreading, Mary reduced her time out and began to correct the manuscript at home. Helping Yaerlin with common sense, and at the same time planning to write a new work, he was very busy for a while.

This made the Oxford Glory Brotherhood who were waiting outside have no chance to test it out. Since they vaguely guessed this hidden identity last semester, the rumors have intensified. I don't know when it started. This mysterious classmate has attracted everyone in Oxford. The attention of this underground organization, many unconfirmed rumors almost make the other party the future master of the British Empire, which is naturally written by Grad, he seems to be very happy with this game, and sincerely wants to play tricks on those who think highly of themselves. Some of the noble children.

On this day, Mary took Yarlin to a small road on the campus. This road was hidden among bushes and wild flowers and few people visited it. It was a clean place.She was reading with her head down, when she ran into an acquaintance, Mr. Lefroy, who walked over with heavy steps, holding a textbook and a pointer.

"Hello, Mr. Edward, it's not easy to meet you." Lefroy said in a strange way. Seeing Mary still wandering around Oxford, he had a headache. He had to hide Mary for Georgiana. , But recently some rumors are simply outrageous, and she has attracted the attention of many people.This is not a good thing.

"Mr. Lefroy, what can you do?" Mary was still surprised by Lefroy's appearance. Because they were familiar with each other, the two tried their best to avoid meeting each other.

"I've heard some rumors about you, and it's getting worse and worse. This is a very dangerous signal. I must warn you that your behavior is very dangerous." Lefroy really wanted to let the other party drop out of school, but the other party was really stubborn.

"Oh? For example?" Mary turned to Lefroy with a cold face, and the impression he gave her was extremely bad after meeting him a few times.

"I think a reasonable adult should understand that he cannot obtain an Oxford diploma. Although I am just an ordinary professor, I still have this right. You should understand this, so it is useless to stay here. You're not doing any good. You know what I mean?" Loveroy's threat disgusted Mary, and at first she wanted every relationship to be perfect, but through all kinds of things, she found that perfect people don't exist, especially in the first The first impression makes people feel good, but after getting along with it, they may feel more and more disgusting.On the contrary, those who have a bad first impression can always make surprising discoveries.Of course, people like Cavendish are not included in this list.

"Do you think that the purpose of my coming here is for a piece of paper? For people like you, certificates, positions, fame and fortune may be attractive enough, but for me, how much knowledge can be absorbed is more important. I hope you don't bother me anymore, getting a piece of paper just to hang on the wall is not attractive to me. Because of my friendship with a certain lady, I put up with you, but your cowardice and selfishness are really disgusting I'm chilled. And I hope you don't disturb my life anymore." Mary was so rude that she almost pointed at Lefroy's nose and called him a heartbreaker.Lefroy left in a daze after getting a bad nose. Mary led Yarlin to continue studying in Oxford stubbornly, unaware that a conspiracy against her was going on.

In the sparsely populated Astronomy Tower, Gradle sat alone in the staggered light source. The light coming in from the glass split his face in two, one half was handsome and charming, and the other half was hidden in the darkness.He touched his chin, and then half-jokingly said: "The water in the Thames is very cold, you probably don't want to experience it. Then, let's talk about why you follow our Mr. Edward." Gretel looked at it with great interest The embarrassed man on the ground, he felt that this cowardly and timid thing sometimes made people feel creepy, with eyes like poisonous snakes, spiders and scorpions.When he was squeezed out by his classmates, he would occasionally look at them with resentment. Of course, this would only result in a violent beating. Gradually, this incompetent guy who could be bullied by everyone began to avoid the eyes of everyone. "People from the Brotherhood of Glory said that you always follow Mr. Edward and tell your purpose. What made you do this?" Gradle asked.

The person he questioned fell to the ground, and several students suppressed him so that he could only kneel on the ground, and the gagged man let out a few deep whimpers.He tried to fight back, but to no avail.Greed signaled his men to let go of the man's mouth. He wanted to hear something interesting. The rumors about someone being the Prince Regent's illegitimate son were outdated, and it was time for some new rumors to spread.One of them loosened the man's mouth cloth, and the man gasped violently, like a dying bull.The clenched crown did not utter a word.

"Oh, it seems that you don't plan to say it, so let me guess, your purpose of following Mr. Edward is obviously not hatred, then it is crazy love." Grad analyzed with a smile, and then he said to himself Said: "There are two ways to deal with homosexuality in Oxford, do you want to know? Well, you must know that one is better, expel you and send you to a mental hospital for treatment. The other I think is more interesting, that is to accept Sanctions from the Brotherhood of Glory." Graede had a lot of experience in abusing others, and his low face looked eerie and strange in the light and shadow. "However, you don't have to be exposed, as long as you can help me find out the secret hidden by the mysterious Mr. Edward." Grad has long guessed Mary's identity, but he prefers to guide others to discover the truth slowly. Only interesting.

The man was trembling with fear, his hair and shirt were soaked in sweat, he nodded desperately, hoping not to be exposed or punished.Grad was very satisfied with his choice. He showed a loving smile and said, "Although I can not expose you for the time being, I still need to correct your behavior. I will guide you to the right path." He tilted his head and got up from the window sill where he was sitting and walked to the man.He stepped on the man's face with his beautiful leather shoes wrapped in iron, then stepped back gracefully and said: "Pull him up, I think we can play an Edward II game." After speaking, he raised his cane and his accomplices laughed.

At night, Elliott, who had been abused, knelt on the corner of the street, muttering something strangely, his face was pale, and his eyes were red.Like a man saying evening prayers.His strange behavior did not attract anyone's attention, and his scarlet eyes were quietly looking for prey.At this time, a drunken tramp came up. He held up the bottle and said to Edward: "Hey, give me two pennies, you fool." The tramp grabbed Edward by the collar and pulled him up. His eyes instantly looked like a bloodthirsty beast, emitting a fierce light."I'll give you a shilling," he said to the tramp with a icy smile.

Elliott took the tramp to the river and gave the tramp a shilling as promised. The tramp thought it was a dream after he was drunk, and was looking at the shilling shining under the moonlight stupidly.Elliot smiled cruelly. He was in unbearable pain all over, but he enjoyed the pain very much.So much so that when this kind of pain is applied to people, it will be extremely enjoyable, double the pleasure.He raised the knife to the homeless man and stabbed it in the heart. The homeless man cried out in pain: "Ah! Killing!" Elliot was no longer nervous about killing the first time, he Calmly stabbed the homeless man several times in a row until the other's blood spattered on his face.This was the first time he had killed a man, and he was extremely excited to hear the other's near-death wailing and screaming.

"Who's there!" The cry for help here caught the attention of the police patrolling the river, who were holding lanterns and batons and yelling at them.Eliot immediately dropped his prey and fled, his heart beating like a drum, listening to the sound of policemen chasing him as he ran.The silent river suddenly became noisy. He passed through dark alleys, and the police couldn't catch him at all.Until he was hidden in the dark, drowned in the path.Neither the exhilaration nor the unprecedented pleasure was lost, and Elliott felt that he had gained a kind of power by killing a man stronger than himself.He began to imagine the scene when he killed Mr. Edward, he stripped his buttons and clothes, cut open his chest to take a part of the heart as a trophy, and drank the wine-like blood flowing from his white skin. What a sweet taste, the more he thought about it, the more excited he was, he opened his mouth and bit the air, like a beast tearing flesh.
