[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

Past life?

Almost instantly, Bai Lanzhi remembered that weird dream.

The deaf prince, Carlotta croaking like a frog, Christina dressed in men's clothing... It turns out that it wasn't a dream, but Eric's previous life?

However, compared to Eric's previous life, she was more concerned about why Odell dressed up like this.She is not familiar with Odell, but she can see that her condition is getting worse every time.

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Lanzhi asked.

Audrey didn't answer, and continued on her own: "Christina, I don't know if you know this name. This is the music angel he wanted in his previous life. He gave up a huge amount of wealth and an underground labyrinth with a strange structure for her. .I sent her to where you live. Say, Eric will choose you... or her?"

If she had just been together, Bai Lanzhi might be confused by Odile's words, but now that she and Eric have communicated for so long, it is obviously unrealistic for her to be provoked by Odell's few words.After thinking about it, Bai Lanzhi pretended to be shocked and asked, "What did you say? Who is Christina? I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Seeing that she was being fooled, Audrey successfully raised the corners of her mouth and took a step closer: "I don't know what method you used to make Eric fall in love with you and no longer interested in Christina, but I want to tell you, Eric Ke is destined to fall in love with Christina. In his previous life, he fell in love with her so much that he threatened her to marry him with the safety of half of Paris... But in the end, he still let her go. Do you know why? Because she is his true love-"

Before the last word fell, Odell suddenly let out a scream, covered her face with her palms, and stepped back in a panic: "What are you doing? You vicious bitch, who allows you to take off my hood of?!"

Bai Lanzhi looked at her face in a little astonishment, but she did not expect her appearance to become like this: pale complexion, black eye circles, bright and delicate facial features, no trace of blemish can be found, but it seems to be in full bloom, on the verge of Withered flowers have lost their moisture and vitality.Compared with the last time we met, she was more beautiful, but her demeanor was even colder and weirder.

"you……"

Audrey interrupted her, and stepped forward with red eyes: "Are you surprised why I have become so beautiful? Don't look at me with such eyes, are you thinking that I used magic, or Bathing in baby's blood? Do you think I'm a monster? Ha, even if it's a monster, I'm a monster more beautiful than you!"

Even Beth can see through the truth, but she is still obsessed with it.Bai Lanzhi shook her head and sighed, "Odell, I'm leaving."

"Go? Where are you going? I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Odell stepped forward again, clasping the door frame tightly with five fingers, staring at Blanche vigilantly, waiting for her to answer.

After that day, even though she understood the system's intentions, she also knew that she had become a plaything of the system, being lured step by step into the abyss of desire by it.But just like a drowning person who knows that struggling will speed up death, but still chooses to struggle, she knows that going any further will lead to falling into the abyss, but she still cannot resist the temptation from the system—when she wakes up, the progress of the system reaches 98%, the appearance adjustment function has been upgraded again, this time the upper limit has been expanded to 10%.

That night, she couldn't fall asleep all night, and even her breath exuded the desire to completely compare with Bai Lanzhi. In the end, she chose to adjust her appearance to 10%...

Duke Clayton has lost interest in her. She has gained fame and wealth in this era, and only her desire to become the top beauty has not been realized.If she can be more beautiful than Bai Lanzhi, she doesn't believe that she can't get a better life.

Anyway, there is no going back to modern times, and she has already stood at the top of women in this era, so why not take a gamble?If you don't take a gamble, she is really not convinced.She has everything, but she is always overwhelmed by Bai Lanzhi—she is really unconvinced!

It was adjusted to 10% at one time, and the whole process was like plastic surgery without anesthesia. She lay on the bed in excruciating pain, her hair and clothes were wet with sweat, her lips were bloodstained by her biting, and finally passed out from the pain... When she woke up again, it was already dawn.She sat up and touched her face. Just by touching her face, she could feel that she had become different.

She got a beautiful face as she wished.With this face in hand, she is not afraid that she will never be able to compare with Bai Lanzhi.

Soon, however, troubles followed.Because she was too different from her previous appearance, she was unable to show up in public, and all planned concerts were canceled, and she could only wear a dark cloak all day long. Even when she went to the bank to withdraw money, she had to let a servant do it for her.

She created a false identity through her relationship, bought a house in the suburbs, and planned to start her life again.Once when she was out, she forgot to wear her cloak, and she immediately attracted the attention of the whole street.At the beginning, she was very impressed by the amazing gazes of others, but what followed was endless harassment and rumors.Some people said that she was a courtesan kicked out of Paris, some people said that she was a mistress kept outside by nobles, and some people sneaked in from the chimney in the middle of the night, trying to do something wrong to her.After her beauty was exposed, she never had a peaceful day.At this time, beauty became a heavy burden on her body.

She moved to another place to live, and began to go out at night, wearing a dark cloak every time she went out.She began to be very wary of the gazes of strangers, and was easily awakened by the slightest sign of trouble.The long-term lack of sleep caused her eye circles to be black and blue, but the adjusted face has extremely fair and delicate skin, and even a little bit of black and blue will become particularly eye-catching.She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a gorgeous zombie.

She got an incomparably beautiful appearance, but lost the right to walk in the world.

Odell was extremely remorseful and unwilling, but this was her own choice, no matter how remorseful or unwilling she was, she couldn't let others pay for her.At this time, she thought of Blanche.

She has everything, and a gorgeous skin, but she lives like a gutter bug.Blanche has nothing, but lives happily with Eric.

She didn't dare to provoke Eric anymore, so she could only wait for Bai Lanzhi to go up to sow discord when she was alone.

It's ridiculous to say that the person she regards as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh is the only one who knows her true face.

Therefore, when Blanche said she was leaving, Odell was quite nervous: "Where are you going?"

She thought that Blanche meant to go home or live in another city, but Blanche thought for a while and said, "I want to travel around the world with Eric."

Odell was stunned: "...Traveling the world? You want to leave Paris? No, you can't leave, what should I do if you leave..." Her eyes were red, and she murmured, "You left , what is my life?"

All her dark, secret, dirty desires come from Blanche.Bai Lanzhi left, isn't her life lonely and funny?

She regarded Bai Lanzhi as her formidable enemy, and tried her best, even at the expense of destroying her original life, to completely surpass and defeat her, but in the end it became that only Bai Lanzhi could prove her existence and significance.

She couldn't help laughing out loud, laughed, sobbed again, and said in a dark voice, "You can't go."

"Odell, the grievances between us are over." Bai Lanzhi frowned, "Didn't you learn enough from Eric last time?"

Thinking of the previous experience, Odell's expression twisted: "You saved me last time, right? I don't need your fake kindness—"

Bai Lanzhi interrupted her softly: "I'm not saving you, I'm saving Eric, I don't want his hands to be stained with blood again." Having said that, she looked at the sky, "It's getting late, I'm Going back. This will be my last summer in Paris. Good luck, and see you again."

After saying that, she clasped Odell's wrist and pushed it forward forcefully.Odell didn't expect her strength to be so great, she was pushed to the side of the tree trunk, hitting her back with pain.She raised her head, only to see that Bai Lanzhi didn't even look at her, and ordered coldly: "Don't pay attention to her, go home." It rolled in response, pressing out fresh tire tracks.The entire carriage gradually drifted away in her sight.

At this time, it was dusk, and the sunset glow was an orange-red flame, falling on the leaves like waves.The whole forest was covered with the fiery red afterglow of the setting sun.

Odell stared blankly at the carriage, and for a while, an unexplained panic filled her chest.She supported the tree trunk and stood up, and staggered after her, shouting as she chased, "Stop...Bai Lanzhi, stop! Listen to me, stop!"

At this moment, she recalled a lot, thinking of the time in modern times, thinking of the fear of coming to another world, thinking of the anxiety and joy of plagiarizing and becoming famous, and thinking of the resentment and jealousy towards Bai Lanzhi.Before she knew it, tears had flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, but she didn't realize it, she was still shouting: "Don't go... I beg you, don't go, as long as you don't go ...I'll tell you all the secrets, I'll help you deal with Christina, and give Eric a normal look...as long as you don't leave..."

She no longer knew what she was talking about, and she didn't know why she was so afraid of Bai Lanzhi's departure.

Probably because she knew instinctively that if Blanche left, her whole life would be a complete joke.Her obsessions and desires will be like a lonely ghost with nowhere to put them.

Odell chased the carriage for a long time, but her physical strength could not compare with the two horses after all, until night fell, she was unable to catch up with Bai Lanzhi's carriage.Lie on the ground panting for a long time, Odell stood up with a pale complexion, swallowed the fishy sweetness in her throat, put on the hood, and limped away.

-

Before midnight, Bai Lanzhi returned to the villa in the suburbs.

Although she acted so confidently in front of Odell, she was still a little uneasy. In addition, she had indeed dreamed of some strange scenes. Before entering the house, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Will Eric dream like she does?

Odell said that he loved Christina crazily in his previous life, so how would he feel when he saw Christina?He has always been strict with music, but Christina has become his musical angel.Thinking back to the time when she didn't even hear a word of praise from him, she couldn't help feeling depressed.

Pushing aside the black fence and walking onto the wooden bridge of the artificial lake, the street lamps on both sides give off a dim and dim light.The moonlight flickered on the lake, looking at the brightly lit opposite bank, Bai Lanzhi paused, and suddenly dared not go any further, just stood there, looking at the reflection of the full moon on the lake.

Having been with Eric for so long, she already understood his character very well, but it was precisely because of her understanding that she understood how deep and passionate his love was.This kind of love was given to another person... Even in her previous life, she was still a little jealous.

Maybe she is too possessive, or maybe she thinks too much.

I don't know how long it took until her legs felt a little numb before Bai Lanzhi came back to her senses in the night wind, and was about to enter the house, but at the end of the wooden bridge, she saw a slender and tall figure.

Eric was wearing a thin black shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his hands in his trouser pockets. He stood there for an unknown amount of time, but he didn't step forward to disturb her, but just watched her quietly.No matter what he looked at, his eyes were cold and without warmth, but when he looked at her, he would reveal a touch of gentle tolerance.

Bai Lanzhi suddenly felt relieved.

No matter whether his previous life was true or not, no matter who he loved at that time or what kind of person he was, it doesn't exist in this life.In this life, he only belongs to her, and his thoughts and emotions have long been covered with her traces, which cannot be easily erased by a mysterious and mysterious past life.

He is hers.This is a fact that no one can change.

Bai Lanzhi smiled, walked towards him, tiptoed and kissed his cheek: "How long have you been standing? Why didn't you call me?"

He looked down at her, smiled slightly, and put his arms around her waist.Under her love and persuasive temptation, he has also learned to respect his lover, give his lover time to be alone, and has been able to deal with problems like an ordinary husband: "I am waiting for you to find me."

Blanche leaned on his chest, looking curiously at the French windows of the villa: "Where's Christina?"

"I asked someone to take her back."

"What did you guys talk about?"

He answered directly: "Talk about why she is here. She said she didn't know."

"It was sent by Odile. I think she has... Forget it." Bai Lanzhi frowned, not wanting to mention this person, "I'm a little hungry, can I have supper?"

"No, it's time to go to bed." He turned on the surface of his watch to her, "It's already a quarter past twelve."

"But I'm so hungry..."

"Eat tomorrow morning, be obedient." He thought for a while, "If you are obedient, I will tell you a surprise in two days."
