No. 8 Pawnshop

    When Ye Li entered the parallel world again, it was France in the 19th century. Like the world where Ye Li lived, France had just experienced a great revolution, no matter literature, life, or people's mentality All move in directions they don't know yet.

    The historical process in most parallel worlds is similar, which is not surprising to Ye Li. The guest she was looking for, Eric, should now be living in the place of the Paris Opera House in France. Below, in the dark underground palace.

    The Paris Opera House is famous not only for its long history, but also for its complex structure, which makes it a mysterious veil. There are rumors that there is a terrifying Theater ghosts will appear at night, accompanied by singing.

    Valpurgis Night,

    The witches had a feast on the Harz Mountains.

    It will be dawn and everything will be destroyed.

    "O Angel of Purity, Angel of Light!"

    The cry for help of the heroine Margaret made me cry,

    At this moment, the pure voice of the angel came from the distant sky,

    The walls of the prison collapsed during the singing, and a group of angels carried Margaret's soul and rose to the sky. There was also a **** who stabbed Mephistopheles, the devil who wanted to escape, to the ground with a sharp sword.

    Light triumphs over evil, unchanging truth.

    The male protagonist Faust knelt on the ground, folded his hands, and watched Margaret's soul go away.

      Remarkable.

    Ye Li also watched the entire opera. The seat she chose was Box No. 5, which was rumored to be the exclusive box for the ghost of the theater. Originally, the people in the theater were unwilling to open the No. 5 box for Ye Li. In the box, but as long as Ye Li wanted to, no one would reject her.

    The play ended, the guests in the audience gradually dispersed, and only the fifth box was still lit, which meant that the guests in it had not left.

    Mrs. Giri, who had a secret in her heart, walked to the fifth box, but saw the Oriental lady who suddenly indicated that she was going to sit in the fifth box. His eyes still fell on the stage, as if in a daze.

    Mrs. Giri was thinking of words and told the noble lady that the theater was about to close. But suddenly I heard her voice, it was really nice, even more beautiful than the soprano on stage.

    "I...want to see it again."

    All the Paris Opera actors were asked to perform another performance. The actors and dancers who wanted to lose their temper and shouted after seeing the gold that Madame Giri brought back from the auditorium, obediently Shut up.

    The Opera House, which should have been silent in the middle of the night, was now brightly lit, singing and dancing in unison.

    The performance was still the "Faust" that Ye Li had assigned.

    The only audience is Ye Li, she thinks this opera is very interesting, both in the past and now. Of course she cares more about being irritated by her upcoming theater ghost, Eric.

      , Amid the mixed screams, the arena fell into darkness.

    Soon, the actors and the people behind the scenes all fled, leaving only Ye Li, who was still sitting in the fifth box, in the huge theater.

      Together, with such talent, you shouldn't live under the mask of ghosts forever."

    It was still silent, but Ye Li was very patient, waiting for the ghost who didn't want to appear in front of people to come out.

    After an unknown time, a gentle but somewhat eerie voice sounded.

    "Who are you?"

      I want to find out his true face.

    “The old philosopher Faust was very envious of the vitality of the youth, so he begged the devil to give him the help of rejuvenation.

    The devil Mephistopheles Felice said to Faust: If you are willing to sell your soul, you will not only be rejuvenated, but also get a girl named Margaret. "

    Ye Li's voice was like an elegant aria. She walked out of Box No. 5 and slowly walked from the auditorium to the stage where the ghost was. It is also charming, but what Eric wants to see is her eyes, which no painter can describe, and no writer can describe, the deep and mysterious eyes that are staring at him with a smile.

    The ghost has lived for many years in the underground palace under this theater.

    The incomparable beauty of the other party made him want to retreat, as if he did not hurt the other party because the other party occupied the fifth box, this is the inferiority of his distorted appearance, loneliness and fear .

    "The devil Mephistopheles has fulfilled Faust's wish, and I, too, are willing to fulfill your wish, Mr. Ghost."

    She gave him an elegant lady's salute, and the corners of her slightly curved mouth were still smiling.

    Wish? If Faust suffers from his own old age, Eric suffers from the terrifying diabolical face under his mask, which caused him to be abandoned by his parents, tormented him in life, Had to live alone in the labyrinthine underground world of the Opera House away from the crowds.

    Knowledge and talent can't bring him much comfort, on the contrary, it is more pain.

    "Pawn your love to me, and I will give you a normal appearance."

    Ye Li said to him,

    After agreeing to the devil's conditions, Faust turned into a handsome boy and deceived Margaret's love with the help of the devil. The pregnant Margaret was soon abandoned by Faust. In a duel, Faust stabbed Margaret's brother to death. Margaret became deranged from the stimulation, killed her own child and was imprisoned. Faust was deeply shocked and entered the cell to take her away. But the dying Margaret no longer recognized him.

    Faust couldn't refuse the youth promised by the devil Mephistopheles, and Eric couldn't refuse Ye Li's tempting words.

    "I do."

    How about the devil, he has long been abandoned by God.

    When Eric woke up again, the white mask covering his face had disappeared, and a large mirror appeared in front of him, which clearly reflected his current appearance, which had nothing to do with ugliness A little relationship, a normal new face with no trace.

    As beautiful as an angel.

    While making Eric extremely unfamiliar, he could not help but shed tears.

    Twenty years of living in a dark **** made him twisted, dark and fragile, and the deal with the devil was like a new life, seeing the sun for the first time.

      Straight, eyes sparkling. His attire: The philosopher's gray robe became the most fashionable and flamboyant outfit - an old man turned into a handsome boy in an instant!

    Devil Mephistopheles let him enjoy youth, love, and the feast of witches again.

    This is a field where philosophy, God, and morality cannot pull people back, not to mention that Eric, who is the ghost of the theater, has long abandoned the lofty Paris Opera House and human morality.

    "Is this my newborn?" Eric murmured slightly hoarsely, touching the face in the mirror.

    "Yes, you got a new life."

    Ye Li smiled politely behind him.

    Eric suddenly turned around, knelt in front of Ye Li on one knee, and said gratefully, "You gave me a new life, and I am grateful to you. I am willing to be your servant, I will serve you for life."

    The devil seizes Faust and takes his soul, and the angel's song leading Margaret to heaven frees Faust.

    Ye Li shook his head, rejected him, and chuckled, "I understand your gratitude and joy, but this is not a wise decision."

    Eric earnestly said, "I don't mind turning my back on God and becoming the devil."

    Ye Li still smiled, but said with a sigh, "Thanksgiving is only temporary, but being my servant is long-lasting, no one will not resent such a long and terrifyingly long time in the end. eternal life."

    She took a deep look at Eric and said, "You too."

     Ye Li waved his hand gently, and Eric passed out on the stage. When the sun rises tomorrow morning, he will wake up and welcome his new life, while the theater ghost , is the past.

    ——

    A few years later, a genius composer Eric appeared in Europe. He was also an excellent architect and magician. The actress is fascinated by his talent and hopes to have a closer relationship with him, even a dewy relationship. It is a pity that this talented composer seems to have no intention of being a woman, and some good people even think that he has the same tendency as that of the contemporary literary laureate, but it has not been really proved.

    Eric seems to have traveled around Europe throughout his life, leaving behind many of his outstanding works in opera and architecture.

    His last ashes are said to be left at the Paris Opera, which has a special connection with him.

    ——

    The author has something to say: I have been busy recently and sometimes I am sorry for not replacing in time.
