[Phantom of the Opera] In Praise of Iris

Thanks to the tall mountains in the north of Provence that prevent the cold wind from invading, the winter days on the Côte d'Azur seem so gentle and warm.The platinum-haired girl approached him step by step from the abundant sunlight in the Mediterranean Sea, and the long light purple skirt fluttered wantonly behind her, making this stunningly beautiful girl feel like she was in a lavender field in midsummer—even though Even Eric didn't know how they fatefully returned to the starting point of all this in nearly a year of blind exile.

"Are you finally ready?" Irene seemed to have a slight smile on her face as delicate as white porcelain, but her emerald eyes showed melancholy like a sigh, but the voice was still light, as if plucking from the petals. The thin wings of a passing dragonfly—she has quickly absorbed the lazy atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur, but she has not been completely assimilated, but has become the brightest pearl in this bay town as it should be.Eric had never seen it, but he could fully imagine how his girl could easily win the passionate admiration of the few young boys in the town, and perhaps the girls' private comments and jealous eyes.Like Carlotta, the vanity high-pitched machine at the opera, like... like Christine after stardom...

Of course, this is not to say that the beauty of a remote town in the south of France can be compared with the hot pearl of the Paris Opera House, but little Carol doesn't know anything about the old and strict rules of the world... well, maybe She is indeed quickly adapting to those useless things, but isn't it the ignorant soul like little Carol who is most easily bewitched by the devil?Eric began to regret his intentional or unintentional guidance to the girl—whether it was guiding her to understand the rules or ignoring them.

Little Carol grew up in the light. Before she walked with you, she was full of secular glory, and now she should return to the light. Do you actually want to obstruct it, just because of your unspeakable desire?

No, such a soul should always be proud and free forever, how can she be allowed to bind herself in the cage of the world, even with the light as the chain!

Everyone in the world loves the light, even you, a ghost hiding in the dark, are madly praying for the mercy of the light, don’t you?That blazing light was tender caress to her, to Christine, the new star of the theatre, to the foolish young viscount, to the darling of all gods, and to you alone, a whipping to you sad creature in the dark, It is chains, it is suffocation, it is burning... it is all cruel punishments!

But she clearly promised to give you the only love in this life!Think about it, besides her, is there another girl who looks at you with such blazing eyes, caresses you with such gentle fingers, explores your territory with such unscrupulous steps, your heart, and sings with such sacred voice Solemnly deliver her deep and magnificent soul to you?Except for her, except for this elf-like girl in front of you, no one will be able to see the truth behind your weird appearance, no one will be willing to save your lonely and humble soul, and lead you out of hopeless solitude!

Can this make you drag that worldly elf into the abyss with peace of mind, and bear the punishment of light with you?

Ghosts have the right to exchange the most sincere love for the most loyal company of elves!

Ghosts have long been banished from the light by the world, and even the most sincere love will become a burden!Think about Christine, think about how that pure white soul was once isolated and rejected by those stupid people in the theater, think about how she has been frightened by you!

No, little Carol doesn't care about the eyes of those fools!She was nothing like that pure white soul!

Yes, that worldly elf is not a flawless light, she is so cunning and possesses exuberant curiosity, but she is more moving than that pure white soul.She even loved you so passionately, which is really an extra gift in your sad life!But now, little Carol has forgotten you, and is about to return to the hustle and bustle of the world, and this, perhaps, is the truest will of the gods... You must never induce her to fall in love with you again, and you should not even allow her to let go—— You should have stripped yourself of her glorious life long ago.

Let her return to the embrace of the earth, let her continue to dance light and shadow with ease, and you may occasionally have a vague shadow in her deepest dreams.

So Eric finally persuaded himself sadly, he bowed his head, hugged his girl for the last time, and sent a trembling moan in his chest: "Yes, I should go, we will part--I will go to get back what belongs to me." Phantom Glory."

"It just belongs to the ghost?" When the strength of the hug finally relaxed, Irene unhurriedly broke away from the ghost's embrace. Her emerald eyes contained meaningful inquiries, and her expression towards the man was ever-changing. He and the tears at the corners of his eyes seemed to be completely ignored, like the ghost who used to chase angels wholeheartedly.

But now, everything is reversed, and he will taste all the sufferings she has experienced.In the bitter silence, Eric suddenly felt a fleeting tenderness in the corner of his eyes, with the fragrance of green olives.He lowered his head almost in a daze, just in time to see the girl smacking her lips naughtily—at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was the time when her stature was flying, and after nearly a year plus enough exercise, her stature was already as long as an olive branch up.Now Erin wants to give her shy partner a kiss with just a hop.

"A parting gift from little Carol, I hope you like it." Irene's emerald eyes sparkled with a narrow smile, "However, in the future, when you want to ask other girls for a good morning kiss or a good night kiss, you should directly Let’s just say, it’s too worrying to keep sneaking around girls’ cheeks all the time.”

"Finally, I wish you good luck, my dear Mr. Ghost." The girl gently pressed the white mask she customized in the small town to the ghost's cheek, and her white and tender fingertips accidentally brushed the ghost's red ear, and brought There were bursts of numbness, like a lover's caress.

Little Carol's vision is trustworthy, and although the new mask is not as good as the ghost's masterpiece, it is still comfortable.It's just that the timing of it being sent out was too coincidental, as if the world was divided into two sides of glass, and the little Carol, who seemed to be within reach, was obviously not on the same plane as the ghost.

The embarrassment that the most secret thoughts were suddenly shattered and the girl's sudden kiss were silent in Eric's heart for a moment, leaving only the sorrow of separation floating like ashes, and perhaps the rage of jealousy and unwillingness under the sorrow of separation.

"I gave the most devout love to the holy angels, when I hid in the shadows of the painted temples, I was briefly relieved, but I couldn't keep a trace of pity. But I didn't feel exiled for long Sadness, because the spirit of the world has silently offered me sweet love. I swear that I will always protect the spirit that belongs to me, but I was expelled from the world again, and she finally forgot me. Well, so be it, Let that elf stay away from me, stay away from my shameful body, and stay away from my hurtful love! Let me return to the abyss of loneliness and despair with peace of mind, with the sweet dreams she gave me, and the sweeter kiss... oh , that kiss, my only kiss, which was clearly so sweet, why should it represent a bitter parting? My little Carol, is this your last generosity to your poor mentor? In the not-too-distant future, you will again Which young fool gave love more generously? Will you answer my prayers and leave a little corner of my mind for me when I return to the dark depths once more, and you again in glory? I will eventually become a thin silhouette, gradually fading away from your magnificent heart..."

The ghost fled in a hurry before the precarious sanity completely collapsed, and did not let little Carol hear his singing full of pain and frenzy, so unfortunately he also missed the fleeting nostalgia when his girl left.

"You finally bid farewell to me, for the past I don't know; and I will start again from here, determined to forge a new glory. Everything is as I expected, except for the faint melancholy in my heart that refuses to go away..." Gentle melody Slowly flowing out from the girl's heart, floating in the warm winter sun of the Côte d'Azur, gentle and lonely.Irene watched the pure black back gradually go away, and there were layers of ripples in the emerald eyes, but they finally returned to calm.

"Hey, Ai Ni, my good sister, you don't look like you have lost your memory at all." When Irene finally decided to return, the energetic red-haired lady was already in the only grocery store in the town I have been waiting for a long time.

"In fact, apart from the recent wanderings and some common sense you instilled in me, my mind is still as empty as a dry spring." Facing the red-haired lady's wet brown eyes like a puppy, Irene's fair cheeks There was a charming smile on his face, but the expression in his eyes was as indifferent as the snow on the top of the Alps, "Now you can tell me everything about the past, my dear sister Sophia."

"Including your secret lover?" Sophia raised her dark eyebrows with a malicious expression.

"If you don't mind." Irene cast a smiling glance at the helper of unknown origin, neither shy nor flustered, and there was not too much vigilance hidden under the slightly tired expression, "From now on, he is here for you How do you see a person starting, how is it?"

"Oh, my little Annie, how can you treat my kindness so coldly! Surely you have lost your memory and also abandoned our indestructible friendship? Most importantly, you have forgotten all about poor me Forget about it, how can you still be inseparable with your strange ghost lover? Just the look in your eyes now makes me seriously suspect that you are broken in love or amnesia." Sophia looked at Ai like a big dog acting like a baby to its master Lin rushed over to Irene's side, and the red-haired lady sank into the soft bed beside the seat like a boneless one.

"If you didn't send someone pretending to be a hunter to force my partner to go away after you put down the real man behind us, maybe I would try to trust you? The hunters are only distributed in the suburbs, the easiest towns to hide But there is no danger at all. Even the entrances and exits of all towns, except for one or two sneaky monitors, there is no obstruction or compulsory inspection, and every time I enter a certain town to replenish supplies and turn around, I can always find them in front of my partner. I found too much blood and gunpowder smoke on my body." Irene stared at the stunned red-haired lady with a half-smile, and her emerald eyes silently expressed the master's sarcasm, "Ghosts don't like cities, and they don't look like them either." He is familiar with goodwill, so he doesn't notice anything, he just thinks that the black hands of the twilight are getting closer day by day, and because of the recent wandering, he also decides that I can survive better alone, so he chooses to leave. As for me, I thought you should know I just lost my memory, and I didn't lose my intelligence and basic judgment at the same time."

In fact, no matter how high intelligence or judgment is to be effective, it needs a minimum of common sense as a basis.What Irene didn't say was that, including the guidance of her partner and later Sophia's teachings, she had absorbed enough common sense rapidly in less than a year since she lost her memory, and she was developing her worldview at an astonishing speed. reconstruction.This is really a huge project, but it doesn't seem to affect most of the "simple" judgments.

"Then why..." Sophia couldn't help asking.

"You seem to have good intentions for me, but you don't care much about my partner—I have reason to believe that if I insist on keeping the ghost, it is very likely that he will be eliminated as an obstacle for you to promote me to achieve a certain goal. "Speaking of this, Irene finally calmed down, her cold eyes turned from two cold sharp blades wrapped in honey into a dense net, covering the poor red-haired girl without haste "Of course, in view of the fact that you and the forces behind you have at least good intentions towards me, and the poor I still don't remember anything, I don't know anything, and I have no way or plan to reject your arrangement. In summary, my beloved Sister Sophia, I guess you don't mind being more frank with me?" At this point, the beauty with long platinum hair tilted her head slightly, looking innocent and playful.

"Of course, of course! My little Anne! My dear leader! My loyalty has long been dedicated to you!" After a short period of sluggishness, the red-haired girl burst into a high-pitched scream.This reaction was really unexpected, but looking at Sophia's face full of surprise, Irene felt that the result might be more favorable than expected.

The author has something to say: Well, I remember Xiaoluhouhuo's sister paper thought that my heroine was more steamed buns, then, this baby announced that Irene's sister paper has risen from now on, and Su Potianji 2333 (this author has gone crazy)
