[Phantom of the Opera] In Praise of Iris

"Linlin, didn't you give me "The Phantom of the Opera" for Amway all day long? Miss Ben is just free today, so why don't you hurry up and present the Blu-ray disc!" The roommate's energetic voice rang in her ears, and Li Ailin was stunned for a while , just agreed with a slow response, and then continued to stick to the same place foolishly—after 16 years in France in the [-]th century, who can still remember where the carefully collected discs were!She did not forget that no matter how she speaks her mother tongue, she loves the flower growers deeply!

Fortunately, this carefree roommate seems to be very familiar with her. Seeing that she started to be in a daze for the past few days, he didn't bother to bring her back to life, so he rolled up his sleeves and rummaged through her drawer. A disc with a silver and white background was turned out, and on the other side of the disc was a mask that she was somewhat familiar with.

How could Eric's mask be so shoddy.An idea popped into Li Ailin's mind, and she watched her roommate look for the DVD player, play the CD, and adjust it with the remote control in one go, and then the story of "The Phantom of the Opera", which she was obsessed with, began to be played on the small screen.

Li Ailin indifferently watched those somewhat familiar actors perform the stories she had been familiar with, only felt that the singing voices of the so-called famous actors were all flawed, and even the natural timbre could barely catch the ear.And the story they interpreted belongs to the entanglement between Eric and Christine - there is no girl named "Irene Muller" among them, and of course, there will be no trace of her Li Ailin.

"Missing~~~cough cough..." Li Ailin followed the dazzling Christine in the center of the stage and responded softly, and then greeted the merciless ridicule of her roommate——

"Oh Linlin, why are you here again! I know you love this aria, but can we not make it difficult for ourselves and others? Speaking of which, what did you just mutter? It sounds a bit like English, but it sure isn't English."

That's French.She has already mastered the language by heart in the past ten years.Li Ailin rubbed her throat and didn't speak - her body has never expanded the vocal range in a professional way, but even if it is expanded to the limit, it is just a human figure. Compared with the French actresses in the [-]th century, it is barely Just to keep up with Winnie.This kind of voice condition, not to mention Irene, is far worse than Christine, she can't lie to herself that she can control the final coloratura after practicing.

When I was there, I still hated Christine taking the lead in music for a long time, and refused to respond well, but now I miss that uniquely good voice.Li Ailin, you are too hypocritical!The girl spat at herself in her heart, but she couldn't stop herself from feeling more and more deeply regretful about the "Rondo of the Dead" that haunted and sang.This is not surprising—Irene may have wandered in the vast ocean of music for a long time, but Li Ailin was learning from Eric bit by bit before returning. Although her skills are far superior to those of her peers, she is her first taste of music and her interest is just right. concentrated.Losing talent at this time is actually the worst.

However, from Ailin back to Li Ailin, she lost far more than that.

For example, suddenly becoming a sub-healthy body that is common among urbanites, and then losing not only combat power, but also the perfect body that girls generally care about.And although Irene's outline is not deep and three-dimensional like that of ordinary Westerners, Li Ailin's appearance that cannot be found in the crowd is not at all comparable to Irene's exquisite and picturesque facial features.In contrast, the newly acquired [-]% of the original shares of the Paris Opera House are not so heartbreaking.Although, as a poor student on the verge of graduating from university, Li Ailin, who was studying in Province S, couldn't even afford a direct air ticket to Paris.

If it wasn't for this time travel, I really didn't know how bad I was... But, so what if I just took a look?Li Ailin thought indifferently.She didn't believe that she was lucky enough to meet the phantom from the nineteenth century in the Paris Opera House in the twenty-first century.

Irene in France in the 21th century was a young girl who was only a few days away from turning sixteen, but Li Ailin in the 24st century is already a [-]-year-old girl.It took Li Ailin more than a month to adapt to such a huge gap. At the same time, she tried to keep everything about "The Phantom of the Opera" in her heart, but when she thought she was about to forget it, she was reminded again by her roommate.

This is God's will.Li Ailin thought so at the time, and successfully found a reason for herself not to refuse, then watched a dull music movie, and finally walked into a dreamland that was both illusory and real that night.

Thinking every day, dreaming at night.Li Ailin knew this. Although she felt bored with the music and movie during the day, after all, she heard those familiar names.Therefore, when Li Ailin vaguely saw the familiar scene in her own room in the underground palace, she was not too surprised, but quickly looked around for Eric.

Eric was also sleeping, and he didn't wear the dark white mask, but his sleeping appearance was not stable.Li Ailin didn't know if it was her own illusion, she seemed to see the traces of tears running down his cheeks on the man's weird face.Then the night passed in a blink of an eye, and the whispers of the staff on the ground reached Li Ailin's ears one after another. It was nothing more than "Miss Aitele disappeared mysteriously during the performance, and she was suspected of being robbed by a ghost or simply a witch." "As a ghost's companion, Absurd and ridiculous rumors that Miss Aitele is actually a ghost, too.If it were at the Paris Opera House, Li Ailin might still be in the mood to go along with the flow and pretend to be a ghost, but she doesn't bother to pay attention at the moment—all the girl's eyes are following that skinny figure obsessively, and her long-overdue thoughts are surging for a while It is like a tide, drowning all kinds of unsatisfactory things in this world.

Li Ailin watched Eric lie down all night with all his clothes on, and watched him get up early, walked to the piano on the small island in the middle of the lake and sat down expressionlessly, saw him cut his skinny fingertips mercilessly, The opaque ink bottle like a beast's mouth was full of blood, and the ancient quill was then filled with this bright color, and swayed notes on the blank stave that the worldly heart could not bear.

Li Ailin noticed that the man did not try to find the paper used for recording during the whole process.The girl guessed that this was because her return also completely took away the traces of Rand's Amnesia, so Eric's memory finally stopped returning to the original point every day-his time began to flow again, and this was probably the only one. The good news?It's a pity that she will probably no longer exist in the re-flowing time.

In fact, speaking of it, the memories belonging to Irene have been returned in full after the return. Although compared to Li Ailin's in the end, the emotions that have been invested without hesitation have not diminished at all.

"From blood, "Don Juan of Victory"?" Li Ailin was momentarily stunned by a heavy sense of powerlessness.

So I still pushed you into this hopeless situation

Sorry Eric for disappearing so irresponsibly again.

If I had known that I would not be able to stay with you forever... If I had known, I would still try to do everything possible to trap your love.Although, I can't even leave you with a kiss.

What if, if I had a chance to come back, I was fined to sing this song "Don Juan Victorious"?Punish me to empathize with your despair at this moment.

Li Ailin, who used to refuse to touch her pillow in the middle of the night, suddenly developed the habit of going to bed immediately after turning off the lights. For three consecutive months and nearly a hundred nights, she never saw the dream of that night again.

But that's enough.Li Erin thought.What she saw that night was enough for her to abandon her parents, who didn't have a strong sense of existence in this world, and the few friends she met casually, and tried her best to find the place where her lover was.

It is said that she tried her best, but as a poor student, Li Ailin didn't have any special connections.She vaguely remembered that the reason for her time travel was because of a questionnaire she filled out on the post bar, so she searched in different ways, but she was still missing.Then she began to "overcome" other questionnaires in the post bar, from the phantom encyclopedia quiz to the fanfiction survey, not letting go of any slim possibility.

Li Ailin never felt that she was such a persevering person, just like when she moved the mouse to fill out the first questionnaire, she did not expect that this behavior would continue from the age of 24 until she was nearly [-] years old.

In fact, this time travel has left her with some very useful gifts, such as temperament, etiquette, and fluent French that is comparable to her mother tongue when she needs it.Perhaps, the experience of organizing and managing weavers must also be counted?Although in the end, she threw this hot potato out early.

Relying on the rare advantages of these peers, Li Ailin has been at ease in the workplace these years.At least, when the students were still scratching their heads for the civil service exam, a French translation at the simultaneous interpretation level was enough for her to be a confidential secretary at the headquarters of a foreign company.It is also enough for her to easily save up a secluded large villa.How could the mediocre and shallow Li Ailin dare to think about these things before time travel!

However, after six years, colleagues and friends around her have been getting married and having children one after another, and the last ones are actively making blind dates, but Li Ailin's big villa still hasn't welcomed an equally excellent hostess.The young and handsome people around her are gradually changing into middle-aged men with successful careers, and she is still not in a hurry.

It's only been six years, and in another ten years, it will just catch up with Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv's 16-year separation.Li Ailin looked at her deserted bedroom and smiled lightly—it's not that it can't be decorated more warmly, but she decided to remind herself in this way: Your beloved is trapped in a crippled body, unlike you who can be surrounded by worldly glory , must be waiting for you to go back in a more deserted place at this moment.

When something futile goes on for six years, it's more akin to a ritual of consolation.Li Ailin is still scrolling through the post bar every day, filling in the answers to the questionnaires that cannot be filled in wrongly with her eyes closed, and using words with the same meaning to send off the aging suitors, until the hope arrives unexpectedly at a certain inadvertent moment.

Question1: Which version of God E is your favorite?

A: Original novel B: 25th anniversary edition C: 2004 music movie D: Others

Question2: Where do you most want to meet God E?

A: Circus B: Paris Opera House C: On the way to escape D: Others

Question3: What do you think is lacking in achieving HE with E God?

A: Perfect voice B: Extraordinary tenacity C: Endless courage D: Others

In the beginning, Li Ailin didn't recognize this meaningful questionnaire, but just made a choice according to her never-changing mind.Then, she heard the voice that sounded directly from the depths of her mind:

"Ding——thank you for actively participating in the questionnaire survey for the Phantom Lord Brain Fans, congratulations on winning the special experience award, and wish you a happy time travel~"

The exact same tone, the exact same formulaic words, the last time Li Ailin heard it was 22 years ago.

"Tsk, why is it you again? No, no, I have to change it."

"No change!" Li Ailin believed she must be screaming.

"You have already been there once, and you have left your mark there, and you can only go there again, and the first time you go is an experience, you can come and go freely; the second time you go, you are a default immigrant, and you can't come back after you go What if I don’t change it?” The system’s voice was quite impatient.

"That's not just right—I don't want to be in love for two years and have to leave in a blink of an eye! If you didn't say that the game time is over and force me to come back, I wouldn't delay these years!" Li Ailin's voice was still a little Sharp, with a decisive meaning.

"Tsk, he's actually an infatuated kind... Okay, then I don't bother to be a villain, you wait here obediently, if the person sent by the world's luck, yes, it's the one you think. If he I also really want you to go back, and I can go back when the opportunity comes."

The author has something to say: So, the promised turning point is here.And, this article is to be continued, don't take this as the end! ! !But in fact, it’s not very far from the ending,,, it’s a mess of brain holes, and after the end (if I can’t control myself, it may be before the end?) I will probably have nothing to do. 2333
