[The Phantom of the Opera] Redemption

Even though they haven't met many times, they are still in love. Mitchell faithfully tells Eric all the information he knows every day, completely objective.If, from these performances, it is still impossible to know that they are in love, but they haven't told each other yet, Eric doesn't have a heart of admiration for Christina.

As if dying, Eric raised a kind of hope. If she saw his face, in the end, my weight in her heart would gradually increase, and she would voluntarily stay by my side forever.

Thinking of this, he started the duet of "Othello". His voice was very loud, and every note seemed to be permeated with the power of the soul, which was extremely loud.Love, jealousy and hatred roared piercingly around them.Erik's black mask is reminiscent of the natural mask in The Moor of Venice.He is none other than Othello himself.

Christina thought she would fall to the ground under his slap.But she doesn't run away from Othello's wrath like the cowardly Desdemona.On the contrary, she approached him step by step, deeply attracted and confused by death, she found that in the midst of passion, death would have an irresistible force.

But, before she died, she wanted to take one last look at his true face, what kind of outline would be outlined by the immortal fire of art.She wanted to see the voice that made me so mesmerized, his appearance.Suddenly, she could no longer control herself, and instinctively lifted the mask with her fingers...a curious, stupid woman.

This is a handsome face, his facial features are not very delicate, in one point, Dr. Mitchell Bartley and Viscount Raoulchany are much better than him, and more importantly, the facial features between his eyebrows Temperament, he is like a real angel!And when he is angry, when he is resentful, no one can turn a blind eye to his pain, yes, who can bear it?

Christina couldn't help thinking, ah, I've been caught by him, I can't break free from him for the rest of my life, and I will definitely come back again.The tears flowing under the mask have touched my heart deeply, and in exchange for my sympathy and interest in him, I cannot refuse his request.I am not an ungrateful man, and whatever his intentions, I cannot forget that he was that voice, whose genius warmed my soul.I will definitely be back.

She couldn't help lying on his lap, and said in a gentle voice, "ah, teacher, you are so perfect, except for the fact that you like to stay on the ground, I won't leave your side Yes, please trust me."

Suddenly a voice appeared, Eric's voice, but it was a little different, the intonation, the ups and downs were very similar, but there was always a bit of stiffness in that voice, as if it was a blunt imitation, his tone without ups and downs sounded But what shines is Christina's hope, "You can leave temporarily, and I will let go of your freedom for fifteen days. During this time, it doesn't matter what you want to do, but after that , you must return to my side, otherwise, the most terrifying thing will happen to you."

Finally, there was a sighing murmur, which seemed to be a person's name--Raoul!Christina's excited heart cooled down a bit. She tried her best to maintain her normal state, pretending not to care and said: "What are you talking about? I have already dedicated my soul and everything to music. That's why I rejected you, I can no longer fall in love with anyone, you deserve someone better to love you wholeheartedly."

Christina's voice is very sincere. If she thinks that in such darkness, he can't see the difficulty on her face and the evasive eyes, then she is very wrong. She obviously has her own heart. , she was lying to him, for that Raoulchany!This fact is like a sharp knife piercing into Eric's heart.A woman is willing to give everything for the man she loves, but it is ironic that this man is not him.

Suddenly, Mitchell's words appeared again, he had a sneering look at that time, "Selfish people will always see their own pain, and they will always only think that what they see is the truth. Even if So what if that girl may have loved you before, when that time comes, they are Romeo and Juliet who can give everything for true love, and what are you, you are just the dirtiest, filthiest witch in fairy tales, anyone can Spit on you once. They all only look at the result, if you fail, that's everything, there's nothing to say."

"If it really comes to that time, you will be so low in the dust that it is not enough, and you must have nothing, because they all firmly believe in their hearts that everything belongs to them." Mitchell drank wine wantonly, so beautiful, Like a raging, burning flame in winter.

No, he is not a flame, he is a fireplace warmed by fire, you will not be harmed if you get close to it, from the very beginning, he exists for you.

Eric still decided to give this girl one more chance, let her see her inner chance, let her make one last choice, if she goes on the wrong path, sorry, your poor little lover will be in these tunnels There are some sins in it, I hope you will not let me down.

Eric tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, he turned around, "I need to concentrate on writing "Don Juan of Victory" for about ten days, I won't leave my room, you can go wherever you want, let me tell you The method and specific location of the secret passage here. I only have one request..."

Christina's heart soared in an instant, and she kept calling in her heart, ah, my Raoul, I can finally see you again, I can be with you, even if it's just a walk along the river. happiness.Her face was full of happiness, and she quickly replied: "I will, I will definitely return to you, you have my promise, if I leave like this, then the devil will take it away immediately My soul, this is my oath."

Eric said in a deep voice: "I believe you, Christina. Mr. Raoulchany loves you, but he has to leave. He must be very pitiful before he leaves! So, as long as you stay in this theater, I will I won't interfere with whether you meet him or not, if you leave here, then no one can guarantee your future, his future, do you understand what I mean?"

Christina couldn't help flinching, but she still nodded firmly, as long as there are a few days, I will live happily with Raoul, even if I fall into misery forever in the future, I will be happy.Women are blind and pathetic creatures, poor thing, they are a little too sentimental that their eyes can easily be completely blinded.

However, once they break through their own limitations, they can become terrifying existences, and nothing can stop them, so please be careful not to offend a woman casually, especially a woman with considerable courage.This will definitely be a nightmare in your life.

Eric watched Christina stumbling away. She left very anxiously, for fear of staying here for a second. She was so flustered that she missed several exits along the way.Yes, Christina, I give you the way of freedom, tell you how to enter, I put the sword in your hands, will you turn with this sword and stab me in the chest, I wait with.

Erik sat down and played "Don Juan Triumphant" which he thought he could finish, and the sound rising from the abyss condensed into a whirlwind of conquest and wonder, and flew into the sky like an eagle on wings , The symphony of victory resounded throughout the world.Ugliness rides on the wings of Cupid, and finally dares to face beauty.

Now, there is still one chapter left, the last - torture.

☆, happy adventure

Christina floated back to her room with a kind of ecstasy and impulsive wind. Madame Valery wept with joy, embraced the poor girl, "My Christina, where have you been? You know, how worried I have been these three days, I have been afraid, I am worried about you..."

She hugged the girl tightly with tears in her eyes, "Do you know how worried I was when you disappeared suddenly at that time. My heart will go with you. Christina, promise me , no matter where you go in the future, you must let me know, I will not block your way forward."

Christina suppressed her tears, she couldn't let this person who really cared about her worry, she gritted her teeth tightly, and showed a smile, "It's because of me, I saw the music angel again, he is A man! But, he is very gentle, I can’t help but stay in his place and listen to his music for three days, it’s so wonderful, I almost feel like I can fly, in this torrent of music, I’m lost Time. When I wake up, I will tell him immediately and run back here, don't worry, my heart will be with you."

"In this way, I can rest assured." Madame Valéry was relieved a little, and she began to inquire about other things, "Viscount Charny has come to look for you, he is very fascinated by you, but he asked about your music The face of the angel was not very good, of course, I told him categorically, my Christina is still a pure girl. The relationship between you is just the most innocent relationship. "

A kind of ecstasy welled up in her heart. It turned out that my Raoul also took me to his heart in the same way.However, the female intuition made her focus on another key word. Raoul once doubted her chastity, how could it be, how could Raoul not believe me.

A woman in love always has inexplicable self-confidence, she quickly found a reason for her lover, oh, he is just jealous, he is deeply jealous of Eric, he thinks Eric is a man, this will affect to my opinion of him.Oh, he's so handsome even with jealousy, Raoul, he's so in love with me.She couldn't help showing a happy smile on her face.

How long has it been since she smiled like this? In the secret passage, in his lakeside villa, she was confused, worried, and desperate. She had never smiled so brightly, never!Eric's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley, and his fingers clenched tightly on the marble pillar next to him, making a frightening creaking sound. If his nails weren't sharp enough, his strength could almost tear the wall here. Pick it all up.

Eric used a lot of strength to restrain his anger. Since you love him so much, why did you agree to return to me? Even if I will keep you, can't you be firmer?Will I...let her go, just let her go back to freedom, and let her happily fly to Raoulchani on the wings of love? No, I can't do it, even if it is her Kneeling in front of me and begging, I will not let her go so easily.

This girl gave me her soul voluntarily when she opened her mouth to sing such a beautiful voice, her soul is mine, and Raoulchani is just a despicable thief out of season!

Eric felt that his inspiration kept gushing out, yes, the last chapter, when he finally accepted himself but was betrayed by people he trusted, should he let them go unselfishly, no, let them suffer, Let them be tortured, let them kneel in front of you and beg for your forgiveness. At this time...the ending has not been decided yet, and the music is even more beautiful. "Don Juan of Victory" is far from the end. Write it down, and the fire of my life will never go out until I finish writing it!

Clark was extremely surprised to see this gentleman once again ignited the desire to live. He quickly let go of a crow. He couldn't wait to share the good news with his master. This soul was in pain. Sublimation, as his master said at the beginning, he is probably the most worthy of a new life in this world.

The gears of fate began to turn, and from this moment, Eric's future began to change, moving in a completely different direction.

After finally persuading Mrs. Valery away, Christina lay comfortably on her back on her quilt. There was something hard under the pillow. She moved the pillow away, and her movements froze immediately. .Below is a simple gold ring, and a text message: "Christina, if you wear this ring, I believe that your heart is still with me, and I will let your behavior go. If this ring The ring disappeared from your body, and the consequences..."

He didn't continue to write, but how could she not know, it would be a disaster, his anger would be sprayed on the people she cherished every day, and she would never be able to escape this terrible man for the rest of her life, lifetime.Raoul, if there is a next life, please find me early, I will be honest with you, and I will never be separated from you again.

Raoul sees Christina again at the theater, wearing a gold ring.She was gentle and kind, talking to Raoul about his future plans and prospects.

He told Cristina that the polar expedition had moved forward and that he would leave France in three weeks, at most a month.She seemed agitated to cheer him up, too, and to see the trip as a step to his great future.

He said: "Christina, how can you talk so lightly about such a serious matter? We may never see each other again! . . . I may die on this voyage!

"Me too." She said simply, it was the answer.She restrained her smile and stopped joking, as if thinking about something she thought of for the first time, her eyes sparkled.

Something brilliant came to her mind, and she put her hand over Raoul's mouth: "Shut up, Raoul! . . . It's not like that at all, you know very well that we'll never get married! That's for sure! Suddenly, she seemed unable to hide the ecstasy in her heart, and clapped her hands briskly like a child.Raoul looked at her with worried and puzzled expression.

"But... but..." she stretched out her hands to Raoul, or rather gave him her hand, as if suddenly determined to surprise him, "if we can't be married, we can... we can get engaged." Ah! . . . No one but you and I will know, Raoul! . . . If we can marry in secret, we can be engaged in secret! . . In a month, you will leave me, but the good memory of this month will accompany me to spend a happy life!" She was intoxicated in her thoughts... and suddenly regained her seriousness, "This kind of happiness will not give you a happy life!" harm to anyone."

She suddenly ignited endless courage, "Raoul, my dear Raoul, look, how wonderful this is. Eric said he could set me free for fifteen days, but, I know, he The music has opened a new chapter, we have more time, if he knows that you are almost gone and may never come back, he may... Anyway, we have a good time for a whole month!"

Raoul thought to himself, Christina just didn't want to believe it, he was willing to give everything for her, including the title, and after a month, her heart would completely belong to me. After a secret engagement, and a secret marriage Why not, we are happy together.

It must have been the most beautiful game in the world, and they played it like innocent children.They confided to each other lingering love words and eternal vows.Thinking that these vows would become empty words a month later, they couldn't stop their inner panic and sadness, and wept together.In this joy and sorrow, they tasted the taste of love.

One day, the eighth day into the game, Raoul could no longer bear the pain in his heart, and ended the game with an unexpected sentence: "I will not go to the North Pole."

The poor girl was stunned, the ring on her hand was hot, hot, like a fire was burning, it reminded the poor girl all the time, what kind of promise you have made .She blamed herself in pain, but she couldn't say a word. Is this his fault? No, she could only turn around and leave quickly in melancholy. This is the only thing she can do now.

For two whole days, Raoul didn't see Christina. During this time, he was anxious and injured, but he violated the rules of the game, and he could only live in this torment day after day.Kristina locked herself in the room and was unwilling to come out. Only when she was alone could she feel a little bit of peace of mind.

Eric was wearing a black cloak, floating inside the theater. He had seen Christina for long enough. When she was with Raoul, she was so happy that she completely forgot about her fear. Once, his The cloak brushed her hair lightly, but she didn't even notice it.However, under the ground, even if he was a full 50 meters away from this girl, once she felt his breath, she couldn't help the trembling all over her body.She was afraid of him... He was receiving the message all the time.

Clark followed Eric step by step, like his shadow, and he reported in a tone that did not fluctuate: "Raoulchany, I went to find Madame Valéry all day today, and then..."

The author has something to say:

☆, the sudden change

Eric walked away without saying a word. At this point, it is useless to say anything. What he is waiting for now is only a result. Her body can still arouse his enthusiasm, but everything is completely different.

For the past two days, Clark has been ordered to monitor Raoulchani. His love words from time to time, the affectionate hugs between the two, the confusion about the future, mutual torture, and mutual dependence have made him extremely tired.For the first time, the idea of ​​disobeying the master's order arose in his mind.If love is such a thing, then don't worry about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but unfold the letter paper, wanting to resign from such a job to his master. At this moment, a crow croaked and stopped by the window, stretching out one of its paws reservedly.Clark was about to get it, when the crow spoke, a familiar voice, "Clark, follow Eric, don't leave, changes are ahead, be careful, take this crow, it represents... my voice .”

After finally surviving those two days, Raoul came to his lover's room with excitement, but the two days' absence made their love lie lose all charm.They sat in the room, staring at each other with melancholy eyes, speechless.Raoul tried hard to control the screams in her heart, "I'm jealous! I'm jealous! I'm jealous!" But she still seemed to hear it.

Then she said, "Let's go for a walk, the fresh air will make us feel better." But they were only playing in the theater world, and she was bound, completely.Kristina was still under his control, completely.

Raoul couldn't suppress his emotions, and blurted out a sentence: "I will free you from his control, Christina, I swear to you! The most important thing is that you will no longer have to do it because of him. And worry about it!"

"Is this possible?" There was a hint of encouragement in her question.She led Raoul to the top floor of the theater, which was far away from the secret door.

Higher! She simply said, "It needs to be higher!"She dragged him all the way to the roof.

She walked so fast that Raoul could hardly keep up with her.Soon they were under the eaves, where it was like a labyrinth.They walked among the round arches, square columns, ledges, and sloping walls, as if they had been running around the trees in the forest when they were children.Although Christina kept watching behind her every second, she didn't find anyone following her like a shadow. She walked with the shadow, and she stopped with the shadow, without any sound.

In this way, they came to the roof.Christina jumped up as lightly and skillfully as a swallow.And the shadow following them was crouching on the roof at this time, crawling forward with two black wings, passed through the iron railing, circled the cistern, and hid quietly behind the cupola.The two poor children were completely relieved at this time, and sat beside the bronze statue of Apollo, holding a harp in the hand of the god.

Very strangely, a crow suddenly flew onto the bronze statue, its red eyes stared at them motionlessly, as if it had become a statue itself.Clark crouched on the eaves in a nearby blind spot, his stretched figure seemed to have merged with the roof, he silently stuffed half a lemon into his mouth, hoping that its pungent taste would be able to Stop the desire to vomit that I may continue to churn in the future.He couldn't help but silently prayed for himself, God knew he had never believed.

The main scene began, and Christina threw herself into Raoul's arms, and after a while, there was a slight whimpering sound, and Raoul sat there like this, comforting him carefully, like a golden couple.Eric, who was hiding behind, couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"I don't know," she shook her head in bewilderment, cried, biting her lower lip and said, "He's a devil!" She put her hands on her shoulders, trembling all over, "Now , I am particularly afraid of going back to live with him: living underground!"

"Is there anything that can compel you to go back, Christina?" Raoul's voice was extremely gentle, ah, this voice must be able to say the most perfect words of love in the world, and Clark couldn't help trembling. After a moment, he silently stuffed the remaining lemon into his mouth.

"If I don't go back to him, there will be a tragedy!... But, I really can't stand it!... I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. …I know I should pity those who are isolated. But, he is so terrible! God, the time is almost up, I only have one last day. If I don't go, he will come with his singing Me, he will take me away and return to the underground world together."

Christina choked up, "I know I should sympathize with him, he is so handsome and talented, he shouldn't just live underground like this, but, every day, when I look at him, my fear It just keeps increasing day by day, and I never understand why he has to find me. The more handsome he is, the more afraid I am. If he is ugly, I can still completely sympathize with him, and I will not be like this now fear!"

Raoul hurriedly comforted the poor girl, "My Christina, don't worry, he won't be able to find you here now, and no one can hurt you when I'm by your side."

A surge of despair suddenly surged in his heart, and he immediately said: "Christina, please follow me, let's go now, you can take off the ring and replace it with the one I gave you, and I will immediately Take you far away. My things have already been packed, and there is still my brother in the family, so..."

He knelt down, took out a delicate diamond ring from his clothes pocket, and said affectionately: "My dear Christina, please marry me, from now on, I swear, you are my life , I will try my best to treat you well, and keep you away from sorrow, pain, and fear forever, you just need to hand me your hand!"

Christina was in tears, she closed her eyes, and slammed the ring box shut, "No! No!" She shook her head sadly, and said, "Not now! This is too cruel!  … Let Let him listen to my singing again tomorrow night, for the last time... Then, we will run away. Come to me in my dressing room at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, exactly twelve o'clock. At that time, he should be in the restaurant by the lake Wait for me... we won't be in trouble, you must take me away!... Even if I refuse then, Raoul, you must swear to me... because I know that if I go back this time, I'm afraid I won't I can't get out..." Then, she added: "You won't understand! She sighed softly, and suddenly felt a sigh coming from behind her.

The crow flew up violently, and yelled in a hoarse tone. The voice seemed to be saying: "Betrayer! Betrayer! Punishment!"

Seeing Kristina's complexion, Raoul couldn't help jumping up, wanting to reach out to the crow, "Bad crow, you made Christina unhappy, I'm going to let you down today ..."

He held him with both hands, so familiar, he sat down, and Christina looked around nervously, when she was sure that there were only the two of them here, she slowly narrated what happened these days, completely complete.

The girl trembled and narrated what had happened to her. For the first time, Raoul knew exactly what happened to her. The more she narrated, the more Raoul pitied her. His chest was filled with flames. He couldn't help but said: "Kristina, let him come out, let me have a duel with him for you!"

"Don't." The girl groaned, grabbed his clothes, and begged: "Raoul, don't do such a dangerous thing for me, if I lose you, how will you let my life go on? , Raoul, please don't do such a dangerous thing, as long as you are safe, I will be at ease."

"Why, Christina, do you still have a preference for that man in your heart, you still..."

"No, Raoul, I don't love him. How could I fall in love with a devil? He is just a devil who wants to play and trick people! But, he is my mentor. I still remember that we used to be together He rocked my heart with his flawless music!" She covered his mouth, as if that would stop it from saying what it shouldn't.

She looked at him so sincerely, "Raoul, don't say such things, I always feel that our every move is under his nose. Do you still remember our unexpected encounter at the ball? , we just had a brief conversation. However, just a few days ago, I said a few inappropriate words, and he got angry, and he blurted out our conversation. I immediately understood...we have been in his Under control, with an unknown means!"

"No, you follow me now, we can leave, he is just a mortal, I will lead you out of his shadow." Raoul held her hand tightly, like this You can hold their fate in your own hands, the chess game has reached the most critical moment, and they can't escape.

They stared at each other's faces, and their bodies moved closer and closer.Suddenly, a loud scream erupted in the darkness, as if it came from the deepest part of hell. They turned their heads, and the crows covering the sky blocked the last ray of light in the sky.

The author has something to say:

☆, ominous omen

"Ah!" Christina let out a short scream, and she urged: "This is an ominous omen, let's go quickly, immediately!"

Raoul hadn't reacted yet, it was just too many crows, so what if they represented maliciousness, then, he saw, overwhelming crows rushed towards them, their beaks, Their sharp claws all greeted him, but Christina didn't suffer much damage.The girl suddenly burst out with great strength, dragging her lover and running towards the stairs.

The moment he saw the crow flying over, Eric stood up reflexively. No matter how bad their eyes were, once he showed some figure, they would immediately understand that Eric had been following them.A pair of claws grabbed his back collar and dragged him back to his original position. The small crow has a strange strength.

After a while, the crows dispersed, and their figures disappeared on the stairs. Eric wanted to try again, but the crow said: "Give up, they won't let you catch up, especially me!" I can feel the smell of that Persian, he must be on the side of those two people, that betrayer, that so-called good-hearted man, I know his aura very clearly, one day, he will pay the price!"

With a deep chill in the mouth of the crow, Clark quickly floated to the roof and explained: "Gu Bo's eyes were broken by that Persian, otherwise, the master would not replace him with another one." Only."

It was only then that Eric realized that the crow's eyes were different shades of red. Although it was still very beautiful, there was always a feeling of disharmony. "Quack, of course it will be discordant. The original one is my real eye, which can see. The other one is just a simple copy. I can't even see the color. I must make him regret what he has done. This is just the beginning." The crow flapped its wings angrily.

Fortunately, it did not forget its responsibilities, and said to Eric in a nonchalant tone: "I am Gu Bo, one of the most useful assistants around the master. I will help you with a word or two when you need it. Their every move will be under my eyes, you don't have to worry, the master will never do anything to that girl before the deadline, and you Get ready early, it's your chance to become a member of our family, who wouldn't want it..."

Clark glared at him fiercely, and Gu Bo immediately changed his words, "There is no one in this world who does not want to live longer. In this field, the master has gone deeper than anyone else, and it is precisely because of him that he has gone. It's too far away, so, his ideas will not be accepted by anyone. How can someone who has not experienced such greatness personally understand the endless power possessed by the master, stupid human beings, you should dedicate everything to yourself now, Swear allegiance to my master."

The more he said such words, the more serious the weird sense of dissonance seemed to Eric, and it looked less and less like a bird, putting a person's soul in one place Inside the body of a crow.

It ignored Eric's curiosity, and flew straight up, even more arrogantly, "Master is coming back tomorrow, you'd better wash yourself up and wait, quack!" The next moment, a black one suddenly appeared in the air. The small hole, it disappeared, and together with that hole, it seemed to open the door to another world.

Eric and Clark both stared at the hole that suddenly appeared and disappeared, with very different expressions on their faces.When Clark turned his head and saw Eric's thoughtful eyes, he suddenly panicked and asked in a hurry: "Now, Eric, what do you think?"
