[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

"Say you are willing to spend your whole life sharing true love with me, guiding me, and saving me from the loneliness in my heart. Say you need me to be by your side all the time..." This was originally a lingering confession, but after the master of the voice read Come out, flat and flat, showing no emotion at all, although the sound is clear like a gurgling stream hitting a stone slab, and it seems that when the warmth comes, the ice and snow on the snow peak melt, although it brings coldness, it also indicates that the warmth is coming advent.

This kind of voice penetrated into the ears of the man lying on the bed without any mistakes, and reached the heart where he had been trampled on for a long time, and there was nothing left but to fall into hell.

How ironic, the man thought, that he was no longer Christine's Angel of Music, he was Hell's Angel, and still hear what he dreamed, what Christine could say to him!No, that was originally his heartfelt voice for Christine. What's more sad is that he can only sing out the intense and long-repressed emotions in his heart through the musicals he created and the characters he created.

Then, he was thrown into hell completely.

All the scenes came back gradually, Phantom suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw - a young woman was standing in the direction his eyes could reach.She has long pale golden hair that hangs softly on her sides; she has too fair skin, which seems to be because she has not seen the sun all year round; her lips are also light-colored, which makes her look softer than ordinary people .But she doesn't feel soft, that's because she has eyes as deep and cold as a frozen ocean.

Phantom saw himself in her pupils, a ghostly face!That mutilated face that seems to be insufficient even with deformities and monsters!Boundless panic, resentment, and sorrow entangled him, and before Phantom could do anything, the other party said lightly: "If you want your injury to worsen and leave any unhealable sequelae, then you can rush over here Bite me." She paused, and added a title, "The famous Mr. Phantom."

"Condemn you! Curse you!" The phantom tore the pillow cover randomly to cover his ugly half face, he left his half mask in the Opera House, his underground kingdom, completely and original life, And Christine says farewell!

I just didn't expect that after escaping from the opera house, I encountered unexpected disasters... After covering the miserable and incomplete half of her face with a pillow cover, the Phantom immediately armed herself, and the original panic seemed to be just a flash in the pan.He glared at the "culprit" hard with his uncovered eyes, and said very mean things in his rich and very charming voice.

"I very much doubt that your coachman is really not worthy of being a coachman. What a sad man, he can't even do the job he depends on for a living! Otherwise, he has other purposes, such as being instructed by his employer!" Phantom sneered With a sound, he continued: "In terms of great fame, who can compare with you in Paris, "that Duchess"!"

"I have to defend your accusation. Assuming that I, as an employer, have other intentions, what do you think is the purpose? Like handing over the murderer "The Phantom of the Theater" to the police? As far as I know , In a fire the day before yesterday, the Paris theater was destroyed, but the only good news is that there were no casualties among the audience who went to the theater to watch the latest play "Triumph of Don Juan" at that time." Amanda said slowly, "Of course, there are also misfortunes. The original tenor of the theater, Pianji, unfortunately died in the fire."

During this period, Amanda's eyes never evaded, and she just fixed on Phantom. When talking about Piangi, her eyes became more meaningful.

Phantom stared at Amanda's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and was inexplicably startled.From the beginning to the end, the Duchess did not show any disgusting eyes. Even if she saw his true face, she did not show horror, hatred, fear and so on.It was so normal, it was something Phantom had never gotten from other people, including his mother, Mrs. Geary, and even Christine. It was normal, as if he was just an ordinary person's gaze.

This is what Phantom longed for, but when he did get it, he was timid instead.After hearing what Amanda meant, the phantom, the culprit, had no intention of hiding anything, and said arrogantly: "Since the Duchess defines me as a 'murderer', why not?" Let’s get straight to the point! Why, kind-hearted Lady Duchess, are you going to send me, a murderer, to the guillotine?”

He clearly called "Master", but the irony was too strong.

Amanda can still hear contempt from it, maybe it's not aimed at herself in particular, but the social class represented by the "duchess"... Why is she not surprised at all?You must know that at the premiere of the new opera, the stage was full of celebrities in Paris, oh, almost died under the admirable crystal lamp, and the celebrities under the fire.Believe it, for a while they didn't want to go to the opera anymore.

Amanda smiled slightly, and said something wrong, "What does that have to do with me." But Phantom understood what she meant, and he looked deeply at the duchess, who was full of true and false news. Re-export sarcasm.

"I will be responsible for causing you to be injured, please rest assured, dear Mr. Phantom."

After saying this, the Duchess got up and left.

That night, the servant brought the mask, and Phantom immediately recognized that it was the one he had been wearing on his face, and he put the mask on almost the next moment.Then, it all turned into confusion. As Amanda said, if she really had a different purpose, what would it be?Phantom couldn't figure out, what value did he have to the other party?

Although he seldom leaves the Paris Theatre, his underground kingdom, the Phantom is not ignorant about the outside world, especially when the other party has become so famous that everyone in the theater is talking about it.

The duchess from England has countless properties.Nowadays, it is undoubtedly too rare for a woman who does not inherit her husband's wealth, but owns a huge amount of wealth herself, and has a title of title.

Therefore, not long after the Duchess arrived in Paris from London, her words and deeds immediately became the topic of countless people talking about.

He had heard a lot of true and false news about Phantom, but he couldn't get any answers, and after that day, he never saw Amanda again.He never left the room, even after half a week, the place where he was kicked by the horse's hoof still hurts.

However, Phantom did not intend to stay any longer.

As night fell, the entire Duke Manor fell into silence.

A ghostly figure shuttled through the darkness, and arrived at the third floor without alarming anyone.The third floor was also quiet. There was a halo of light in the master bedroom. Phantom paused in his footsteps, and then he walked quickly to the door of the study, opened the door silently, and walked in.

After quickly adapting to the darkness of the study room, Phantom immediately noticed the music box of a toy monkey wearing a Persian robe and beating cymbals on the desk.He hadn't misheard the sound made by it before!

Before Phantom made any move, the sound of the foil piercing through the air had alarmed him, and he dodged neatly before the foil pierced him.However, it was obvious that the owner of the foil used it with ease, not to mention, even in a dark study, it did not prevent her from forcing the phantom back steadily, and finally forced the phantom to lean against the desk.

But at the next moment, the foil sword was hit empty.

This time it was Amanda's turn to defend, and the two of them fought in the study.

The heavy curtains were pulled open at some point, and the moonlight poured in, leaving nowhere for the two fighting people in the room to hide.

Phantom paused obviously. Although he reacted quickly, Amanda, who did not hinder Amanda who took advantage of the situation, stabbed Phantom's chest with a light foil in his hand, leaving a scar on his arm. This is already her change of direction.

"Good evening, dear Mr. Phantom." Amanda put away the foil, raised her eyebrows and looked at Phantom who didn't seem to feel any pain, "May I know why you came to my study late at night?" You haven't escaped yet?

Phantom ignored Amanda's questioning, he wanted to get what he wanted to know, "It's really rare for the noble Duchess to take a fancy to such a humble music box. I don't know if I have the honor to know how the Duchess got it ?"

"I thought you had come to your senses," Amanda sat behind the desk, touched the music box with her fingers, and the monkey on the music box began to hit the cymbals, "Where do you think you got your mask from? As the current owner of the Paris theater, I suppose that everything in that theater is my property."

"Since you're here, let's talk." Amanda signaled Phantom to sit on the chair opposite her. If Phantom doesn't know by now, the other party obviously knows that he will come, he is really stupid!Originally, when he avoided Amanda's foil, the Phantom should have escaped, and this study really couldn't stop him.

But Phantom was aroused to be competitive at that moment. Obviously, the opponent had been lurking here for a long time, but he didn't notice it before the opponent deliberately made the foil sound.

Thinking of this, Phantom looked up at Amanda again. She is not only proficient in fencing, but also wears men's clothing for convenience - a white shirt with a large lapel and folded sleeves, the hem is tied in black tights, and Riding boots—during the fight just now, the laces on the neckline were loosened, revealing the slender neck and the looming corset.

Of course, this wasn't an 'impediment' to Phantom's movements, but he could clearly see the brand on her chest, a man-made brand.
