[Phantom of the Opera] Ragdoll

God.His singing is wave after wave, majestic like a tide, with climaxes, undercurrents, and twists and turns.This singing voice is rich and vigorous, making people think that it must be supported by a richer and more extensive soul.He sings with ease and emotion.He created a magnificent, strange and captivating world with his singing.

Lottie walked along with this mysterious man... The corridor was very long, and at the end was a winding staircase... Eric helped her onto a beautiful and majestic white horse, and he led the horse... The air began to change After a long time, the white horse stopped.It is easy for people in the underground to feel that they are in the dark. At this moment, Lottie found himself on the edge of the underground lake. The light gray lake water stretches as far as the eye can see, disappearing into the darkness in the distance. There is a faint blue gleam on the lake surface. Attached to a hoop by the pier...

Lottie felt very novel about all this, but the man who was holding her was too gentle and sad, which made her a little breathless.The fresh air on the lake made her sober. She knew that the opera house had an underground lake, but she didn't expect it to be so big.Eric waved his hand, and the white horse neighed happily, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.He helped her into the boat.

It seems that the underground palace is a little far away, Lottie Butler thought.I don't know if I can go back at night?If you can't—huh, forget it, it's not impossible.Shaking my head, I always feel that I have been relying too much on my intuition recently.The words of the gypsy woman still have an influence on her, because the so-called fate is in Paris, and she has recently begun to show a tendency to mysticism.Otherwise, let's just go and play with a pretender, Lottie Butler didn't think she would do it before-at least take a gun!

But her intuition told her that holding a gun was useless, and this man didn't intend to hurt her.Not long ago, she even gave him a name, maybe Mr. Phantom has a life experience like weeping and telling?Does the mask he's wearing matter?Lottie unconsciously ran her slender fingers around a lock of black hair around her ear, not noticing Eric's eyes looking at her from time to time.

There are all kinds of strange statues on the walls, and in the hazy mist, there are silver candlesticks rising from the water.Flickering candles illuminate the underground world.What extraordinary imagination can create such a magnificent world!Lottie Butler was deeply shocked by everything in front of her eyes, dizzying.Suddenly the boat bumped into something, and she realized that it had landed.

"All this is so beautiful." Lottie praised softly, "I would think this is a dream, how long have you lived here?"

Eric carefully protected the black-haired girl off the boat without letting her get wet on the skirt, and then replied: "I've lived here for about nine years in total."

"Nine years." Lottie marveled softly, and couldn't help but go to the pure white gold-rimmed piano to take a look. "You are really amazing. Nine years—oh my God, Eric, I Some envy you."

And Eric just smiled and replied: "Lottie, don't say silly things about little girls." He unconsciously called her name again, "If you really stay underground for a while, you won't be happy , It's lonely and cold." When he said this, his eyes flashed.Obviously remembered something unpleasant.

Of course Lottie understood what Eric meant, and in fact she had no intention of hurting him.She felt a little sorry.There should be some painful reasons for a person to live in seclusion underground.She could probably imagine how hard it was to live alone.

"Hi, Eric." She decided to change the subject, and Lottie Butler greeted him brightly. "You haven't said what you're asking me for. An afternoon tea?"

Eric remembered with embarrassment that he really had a sudden idea.Originally, he wanted to bring her here after she got to know him gradually and built trust, but fortunately the situation was not messed up.After a short thought, Eric said:

"I brought you here just to let you appreciate the real singing."

Ever since I first saw you, I've needed you to stay by my side.

Mylittie Lottie.

------

A real singing voice...Lottie Truth Butler swears this guy definitely forgot to prepare afternoon tea!

But when Eric went to the piano, pressed the keys, and opened his mouth to sing, all emotions in Lottie disappeared.Only music, only his singing broke into her heart.

"The night falls, awakening the senses;

Darkness fills, and imagination begins to wake;

The Central God of Silence also put down his guard.

Slowly, softly, the night gradually reveals her beauty;

To hold, to touch, tremblingly and tenderly;

turned away from the blinding sun,

Thoughts far from the pitiless cold day,

Listen to the music of the night.

Close your eyes and follow your heart's deepest desire,

Wash away the red dust in my heart;

Close your eyes and let your heart fly,

You will experience, everything you have never experienced..."

Such a gentle, charming singing voice, passionate dreams, sad extravagant hopes.Lottie's heart fluctuated up and down with Eric's singing. She was gasping for breath, and her heart couldn't bear the impact.How could there be such a singing voice?God!God!It was a complete world unfolding in front of her, but how could her heart settle down!She was ecstatic, dizzy, and could hardly stand still.Dimly, she felt that she was in the arms of the man, she couldn't and didn't want to move...

Eric looked at the sleeping girl in his arms with obsessive and tender eyes, he gently picked her up, and pushed the door open.There is a world different from the rest of the underground, that is the fairy tale country, the fairy tale country he prepared for her.He gently placed Lottie on the big pink bed, stretched the soft and white quilt for her, and then kissed her forehead very tenderly.He didn't know what he thought of, and sighed softly.

"...Only then can you belong to me. Only then can your heart belong to me."

------

"Eric."

"what happened?"

"I'm calling you," little Lottie said, smiling happily, "It's the first time I've named someone! It sounds nice, doesn't it?"

Eric's heart softened all of a sudden, the feeling of being called "Eric" is so amazing.He has a name, he is no longer a devil's son: "It sounds good... Thank you, what's your name?"

"Little Lottie!" the little girl replied happily, "Daddy calls me Little Lottie! But my first name is Lottie Butler. My daddy took me to Paris for a trip, and I came here to play hide-and-seek with Mammy." How about you, why did you come here?" She blinked, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering like butterflies.

Eric rubbed the little girl's hair, and silently said the name "Lottie Butler" several times in his heart, and firmly remembered it.Then he described the reason why he came here in as gentle a language as possible:

"I came with a wandering gypsy circus troupe. The troupe leader was very fierce and often beat and scolded people. I escaped and hid here." He thought for a while and added, "They are still looking for me now."

He doesn't speak English very well, and he has to add gestures.Fortunately, Little Lottie could understand what he meant, and those big black eyes were full of sympathy and love. For some reason, Eric didn't feel disgusted this time.

"Then you are so pitiful...you can't let them find you, don't worry, I will help you!" Puffing out her small chest, little Lottie was very proud, but she immediately asked with concern, "Everyone is very happy." Is it bad? No one cares about you?" Although there will always be villains in Dad's stories, the villains will definitely be defeated.How can a person not meet a good person?Isn't that terrible?

Eric turned his head slightly:

"……No."

Seeing little Lottie was surprised and sad for him, Eric quickly added: "It's not nothing... But it's not a human, it's a little monkey." He couldn't bear to make the little girl feel bad, such a cute little girl shouldn't Knowing the evil in the world, "A very cute little monkey, fluffy, with a small yellow bell tied with a red string around its neck, I call it Little Bell." He gestured as he said.

"Little bell is very kind to me. It...it doesn't understand the beauty and ugliness of people. Every time I am beaten by the class leader, it screams anxiously. It will play with me, and I will give it something to eat. "Speaking of the little bell, a smile appeared on Eric's face unconsciously.

But little Lottie was still dissatisfied, she said angrily: "Those people are really too much! They are too much! It's better to be a little bell, people are not as good as little monkeys!"

Eric didn't know how to explain it to the little girl, and he regretted telling her the truth.Compared with the sinisterness of the human heart, the devil also has to stay away.These are things he only understood after suffering, but he hoped that little Lottie would never understand them.

"Son of the devil! Come out immediately!" There was a sound of iron chains hitting, like the cry of a monkey.Eric's whole body tensed up, and then he heard the gypsy's smug shout! "Otherwise you will regret it!"

Music box

There was a burst of soft music, like ding ding dong dong flowing water.Lottie Butler's beautiful black eyelashes moved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.The blankness on his face turned into panic the moment the dolls in the room came into view.

Eyes full of dolls.

Many, many, piled up in an orderly manner throughout the room, like a pile of
