Chapter 106
Chapter 106
A short one-man show fully exposed Christine's inner fears and contradictions, and also pushed the whole plot to the climax/climax.
With such an infectious performance, the audience in the entire theater didn't have time to react when the lights went out on the stage and the transition time.
After the warm applause, there was a small discussion sound.
"Atobe-sama's Christine played really well." The girl with Ice Emperor praised in a somewhat dreamlike tone.
"It's really good," of course there are more sensible girls, "but this script seems a bit unusual."
"What's the matter?" The girl next to her was also a little puzzled when she heard such words, "I don't remember the plot of "The Phantom of the Opera" very clearly, but it seems that the general trend is like this."
"The general direction is the same," the girl who spoke thought, "but I have made a lot of changes to the details. If Christine was intimidated and seduced by the Phantom, how does Christine feel about the Phantom?" , a little complicated to unusual."
"Wait, you mean..." The girl next to her couldn't help showing a surprised expression, "Does Christine also have feelings for the Phantom?"
"It's hard to say," the girl who spoke just now smiled mysteriously, "After all, such an attractive Phantom is both bad and strong, isn't it very likable?"
"Pfft," the girl who spoke to me also burst out laughing, "It's true, it's true, if someone protects me like this, even though it's a bit domineering, I will still be tempted."
I don't know if this is a typical example of men not being bad and women not loving. How many women can resist such a man?
The girl who just praised Atobe's acting skills finally realized in the conversation of the two girls, "Eh? What do you mean, this play is going to change the CP from Christine and Ra/U/er to Christine and the Phantom?"
"Read on and you'll know." Such a question, even the girl who found out that the plot had been adapted, couldn't answer it.
The transition time was very short, just enough for a few girls to discuss in a low voice. As the stage was lit up again, naturally the whole theater fell into silence.
If they came to the play before, most of them were because of Atobe-sama, then the wonderful plot on the stage now is enough for them to concentrate all their energy.
The rehearsal of the new play was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Christine was uneasy, but the arrangement would not end smoothly.
All kinds of psychological pressure, coupled with the tension of the rehearsal, finally on this day, after the piano in the rehearsal room was played by itself when no one was playing, the string that Christine had been tense broke.
She had heard this song before, it was played in the music box at Phantom's place.
After staggering back two steps, Christine ran away, she didn't know what she was going to run, nor where she was going.
She only knew that she must leave this suffocating place.
Run away, run away from here.
When a person is most panicked, he always runs to a place where he feels at ease.
The same was true for Christine. The place she subconsciously ran to was her father's graveyard.
Relying on her father's tombstone, Christine was like a child seeking help, telling her story over and over again, hoping to get warm comfort.
However, all she can embrace is the cold tombstone.
"The poor wandering child is so eager to be led, but the person who can lead you is always by your side." A familiar voice rang in Christine's ear.
Christine raised her head abruptly, "Who is it? Is it my father...or an angel? A friend...or a ghost?"
In the darkness, Phantom slowly revealed her figure, "Have you forgotten your angel?"
Christine shook her head vigorously, "..."
The phantom approached slowly, step by step, as if he was stepping on the steps of victory, his tone was full of determination, "Lonely child, confused child, far away from my watching eyes, how helpless you are .Your soul has long obeyed me, followed me, and you will never be able to resist me."
Christine seemed to mutter to herself, "I can't resist you?"
"Yes, you can't resist me," Phantom reached out and caressed Christine's side face, "It's like you can't resist the true charm of music."
"Music Angel, I will never be able to resist you..." Christine repeated Phantom's words as if she was bewitched by those blue eyes.
"Yes, I am your music angel, come to me, come on," Phantom reached out and took Christine's hand, and brought her up from the tombstone, "Come on, stay by my side forever .”
At the moment when the phantom was about to take Christine away, Ra/u/er, who was worried about Christine, also looked for her. Seeing this scene, the young nobleman was shocked and angry, "Wait, Christine!"
Awakened by La/U/er's words, Christine turned her head abruptly, "La/U/Ur?"
Ra/u/er hated, was angry and worried, he hated the Phantom, and worried about Christine, "Christin, this man is not your angel, you see clearly, he is not!"
"No..." Christine shook her head weakly, "No, la/u/er."
The young nobleman was completely enraged, "You are a monster who hides your true colors and dare not see others, I will not allow you to take Christine away today no matter what!"
The Phantom looked at the angry performance of Ra/U/Ur, just like watching a clown's funny performance, "So, young Viscount, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to..." La / Wu / Er touched his body, he walked too hastily, and didn't bring his own penis.
With a soft snort, Phantom no longer paid attention to La/U/er, but took the opportunity of holding Christine's hand, raised the girl's hand, and gave a light kiss, "My girl, sooner or later , will belong only to me.”
After all, without stopping, the cloak fluttered and disappeared into the depths of darkness.
"Christine, Christine..." Ra/u/ur stepped forward immediately after the phantom disappeared, and helped the poor girl, "Have you been hurt by that monster?"
Christine shook her head and slipped slowly to the ground.
"The scope of the adaptation is a bit big," Liu Sheng said politely, holding up his glasses during the intermission.
"What's the matter?" Marui blew a bubble, "It's just as long as it's interesting, right, Chiya?" He said, turning to the kelp-headed boy next to him.
Kirihara looked blank, "Huh? What adaptation?" He couldn't understand what the seniors were saying.
Marui patted Kombu on the shoulder weakly, "Do you understand?" They, shouldn't they bring a single stupid guy to watch the stage play, it seems that it is too difficult for him.
"What are you talking about, senior?" Kirihara was dissatisfied, "Of course I understand, that La/U/er and Christine are a pair, and Phantom is the big boss behind the scenes, as long as the boss is finally defeated , the play is over."
Marui couldn't hold back a chuckle, "It's the first time I know that "Phantom of the Opera" tells such a story."
"Actually speaking from the original novel," Liu Sheng said calmly, "Chi Ye-kun is not wrong to say that, Phantom is indeed the person who secretly planned everything."
"Let me just say it," Kirihara raised his chin quite proudly, "How could I not understand this kind of stage play." After a pause, he clenched his fists and said, "But Senior Feng's boss acted very well, He has that kind of momentum, and he really deserves to be the person I want to defeat."
Seeing that Kombu fell into another state there, Marui shook his head, and nodded to Matsumoto who was separated from him, "Matsumoto, you have worked hard." Isn't it hard to take care of such a minister?
Matsumoto had good grades, otherwise he would not be able to make up lessons for his minister. Before watching "The Phantom of the Opera", he had done his homework and knew the general plot.
So when I heard Marui say that now, I smiled and shook my head, "It's not hard, Senior Marui, I should do it." Minister Kirihara is a bit slow in some aspects, but in some aspects, he is still very suitable for the position. The king is the minister of the sea.
Of course, no matter how Kirihara thinks about this stage play, the plot on the stage is about to reach its climax.
In the theater, the new play written by Phantom is about to be staged, and the manager of the theater is working with Ra/U/er to do the final inspection.
They hope to capture the Phantom in one fell swoop in this premiere.
However, their every move is watched by the phantom hidden in the darkness.
His voice echoed throughout the theater, and his laughter mocked the arrogance of these people.
A voice full of contempt kept repeating, if you want to catch him, you should act in a new play as soon as possible.
The phantom's provocation seemed to have worked, and the new play was staged as scheduled. However, the theater manager and Ra/u/ur still did not give up their plan to capture the phantom.
On the stage, the heroine played by Christine was performing wonderfully, but the male protagonist who ended up being hanged behind the scenes by the phantom. The person who came on stage after that was not the male protagonist, but... the phantom itself.
There was a cloak covering her face, even Christine couldn't tell that the leading actor had changed for a while.
The performance of the two of them was wonderful. This new play was originally written by Phantom for herself and Christine.
Now, as a matter of course, it received the warmest applause from the audience.
But the audience in the audience didn't notice, how could the sensitive Christine not notice.
In the many nights before she actually came on stage as the heroine, there were people with such a voice who accompanied her, taught her, and led her into the palace of music.
Touching the hand on Phantom's face, she retracted quickly, Christine's mood has never been more complicated, is it you?It's really you.
For the performance, Phantom held Christine's hand, as if silently telling her that it was him, it was really him.
One has to be brave for something in one's life, and so is Christine.
There has never been such a moment, she has been so brave, the girl who has always been controlled in front of the phantom, suddenly opened the phantom's hand, suddenly lifted the phantom's cloak, and in an instant, the phantom wearing the mask The face was exposed in front of everyone.
The audience gasped, but Ra/u/ur, who wanted to capture the phantom, immediately stopped the soldier's movement. He was afraid, afraid that the phantom on the stage would hurt his beloved girl.
The Phantom, whose cloak was thrown off in public, was not panicked. He seemed to have expected this moment a long time ago, ignoring the actions of everyone off the stage, and took Christine's hand again, "Come with me, Kelly Siting, let me lead you out of loneliness and into the palace of music, where our souls are closely linked and will never be separated again."
Christine broke away from Phantom's hand again, "You have the courage to take me away, but don't you have the courage to reveal your true face?"
Phantom frowned, "Christine..." This was the first time this girl resisted him like this.
But this time, before the phantom could finish speaking, the brave girl stretched out her hand and took off the phantom's mask, and for the first time, the phantom's face was displayed in front of everyone.
The audience was in an uproar, and the exclamation came not only from the audience on the stage, but also from those who were watching the stage play.
Under the cover of the mask, the man's face was covered with a large area of ugly scars, covering half of his supposedly perfect face, like a curse from a devil, and like a god of death urging him to death.However, the half of the face without scars is handsome and breathtakingly handsome.On the same face, ugliness and beauty, weirdness and beauty bloom equally, like the extremes of half iceberg and half flame, drawing deep traces between extreme beauty and extreme ugliness, but blending together strangely.
Just one glance is shocking and unforgettable.
At this moment, Christine also covered her mouth in surprise. Although she had removed the phantom's mask before, the other party's movements were too fast, and she couldn't see his face clearly.
And the face that appeared in her sight now surprised her so much that she couldn't speak.
Looking at the mask that fell to the ground, Phantom was not in a hurry to cover his face again, as if showing his face also let the shackles on him go, or in other words, he now has something more important.
After picking up the mask, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Christine's hand, "Follow me."
The moment his voice just fell, the two of them disappeared on the stage in an instant.
After bringing Christine back to her basement, Phantom was immersed in the joy of winning.
His new play started as scheduled, his cooperation with Christine, he took Christine away...
All of this gave him a strange satisfaction.
But things are far from over.
People were making loud noises outside, trying to catch the phantom and rescue Christine.
The disturbed phantom could no longer maintain the victorious mood just now. He walked up to Christine who seemed to be in a daze, or immersed in his own thoughts, "Why is the world so unfair and people fear me? Do you hate me and want to kill me just because of my inherently ugly face?"
Christine suddenly came to her senses amidst the phantom's questioning voice, "No, that's not the case."
"Stupid girl, do you know what you're talking about?" Phantom glared at the poor girl fiercely.
However, after Christine took off the phantom's mask, she seemed to have regained her courage. The girl who was tempted and intimidated before, and could only tremble, faced the phantom without fear, "Of course I know what I'm talking about." People fear and hate ghosts, not because of their appearance, but because of their terrifying hearts.”
"Christine!" Phantom grabbed the girl's wrist, her tone was icy cold, "Shut your mouth, poor girl, if you don't want to anger me."
Christine struggled, but she didn't break away from Phantom's hand, so she ignored it, "You were the one who started the question, and you are the one who told me to shut up now. But this time, I won't shut up." I want to tell you clearly," she looked directly into Phantom's eyes, "all the injustices the world has done to you are not the fault of the world, but because you have imprisoned your own soul and become an enemy of the world. " She paused, her eyes were burning like flames, "even, to achieve her own goals, she would not hesitate to kill people. Or in other words, to take away what others love."
The enraged phantom threw Christine away, and the poor girl was pushed and fell to the ground, but she stubbornly turned around and continued, "Whatever you give to the world, the world will return to you. You give the world hate and fear, and the world will give you hate and fear back."
"Shut up, shut up!" Phantom, who was poked in the sore spot, fell into rage, and stared at Christine fiercely with his cold gaze, "You don't know anything, you don't know anything."
"I know!" Christine knelt up and spread her hands, "Look at those people outside, how much they fear you and hate you, if they have the chance, they will definitely catch you and kill you .”
"You!" The Phantom walked up to Christine two steps forward, his anger swept over like a storm, the poor girl was like a flower in a storm, but even so, she still tried her best Straightened his spine.
The next moment, Phantom slowly let go of his strength. He knelt down in front of Christine on one knee, "Are you too? My girl, do you also fear me and hate me?"
The phantom, who seems to be omnipotent and can cause everyone to panic, reveals another side that is almost weak in front of the girl he loves.
"I..." Christine turned her head away, her voice seemed to be forced out, "Of course I am the same as everyone else, if there was sympathy before, there is only fear now."
"You're lying." Unexpectedly, Phantom didn't listen to Christine's words at all. He caressed the girl's face and turned her around, "Admit it, you have surrendered to me a long time ago, ……belong to me."
"I didn't." The girl who was full of courage just now suddenly panicked. The person in front of her was not her musical angel at all, but a phantom that would bring disaster. How could she give in to him and fall in love with him.
Just when Christine was in a hurry to refute, Phantom suddenly laughed softly. This was the first time he laughed when the whole musical was here, "My girl, if you are really so determined , why don’t you dare to meet my eyes.”
"Of course I dare," Christine turned her head suddenly, and after meeting Phantom's eyes, she couldn't continue talking, "I..."
What kind of eyes are those? She has seen them look cold, ruthless, and threatening, but now when they look at her, they are filled with tenderness like water, making the eyes that were originally frightening become fascinating. of the deep sea.
The phantom's voice changed with Christine's silence. Although he still wore a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, he could feel the strong coaxing from his movements and voice, " Come with me, my poor girl, I promise you that I will lead you into the kingdom of music, where we will never be apart."
Christine's lips trembled, as if she was about to answer Phantom's question immediately, but at this moment, Ra/u/er, who finally discovered the mystery of the basement, rushed in, "Christine!"
The Phantom's reaction was extremely quick, and the moment Ra/U/Er came in, she immediately pulled Christine and hid behind the iron fence.
"Christine!" La / Wu / Er rushed over, but was still a step too late, and could only be stopped outside the fence. "Are you okay?" He asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry." Christine also recovered.
Just when La/U/Er's attention was on Christine, the Phantom took advantage of his inattention and used a lasso to lasso La/U/Er, and La/U/Er reflexively thought to struggle.
"Don't move, noble Viscount," Phantom's voice was full of malicious sarcasm, "You must know that if you move a little bit, it will make me angry, and when I get angry, you and the previous Pirgi (before The same as the hero killed by the Phantom). I think you should have found him, right?"
So for a while, Ra/u/er didn't dare to act rashly anymore, he knew that Phantom would do what he said, and if he moved indiscriminately, the other party would definitely kill him.
"What are you going to do?" Christine looked at Phantom in shock and fear, "Let go of Ra/u/er, he is just an innocent person."
Phantom played with the rope of the noose in her hand, "My girl, I don't care if he is innocent or not, I just saw that you have been unable to make up your mind, so I decided to help you."
"What do you want to do?" Christine stared at Phantom intently.
Phantom tightened the noose slightly, causing Ra/u/ur to exclaim in pain, and then he let go of Christine's exclamation, "Either, use his life in exchange for you freedom;" he paused, and his voice lowered a little, "or, you put on a wedding dress for me in exchange for his life. How about it, it's a fair deal, so choose quickly, my Patience has a limit."
