Vivien miraculously disappeared from Aubrey's eyes, and he wondered if he was insane. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info So, I closed my eyes in horror, hoping that when I opened it again, I would see another scene, the real world.

The man of action is all about efficiency, and he felt his eyelids bring darkness to him, but after a while, the light-blocking eyelids lost their effect, as if they were transparent, and he saw a picture again.

The old woman sat on the bed knitting a sweater, and the girl with lace embroidered on the bedside was Vivien. The charming oval face, the pure countenance, the gentle gaze, is truly a masterpiece of God. The face is fresh again, the blue circles under the eyes have disappeared, and the eyes are shining. Aubrey couldn't believe that this was the sad face in his memory. If it weren't for the lingering melancholy that still hung over her beautiful face as the last evidence, Orbrey would never have thought that Vivien was the bizarre person in her memory.

She stood up, walked over with a blank face, and held out her hand to him. But Aubrey was already stunned, not a word, and did not react at all.

"Mr. Aubrey," exclaimed Mrs. Quinn, "why, don't you know Vivien?" The Angel of Music has given her back to us! ”

"Mom!" The young girl suddenly interrupted her, her face flushed, "Mom, I don't think we'll talk about it anymore, you know, there's no musical angel at all!" ”

"Daughter, didn't he give you a lesson for three months?"

"Mother, I promised you that one day, I would explain everything to you, at least, that's what I hoped...... Smoke is, you also promised me that until then, you will definitely be silent and not say a word! ”

"But, Vivien, you promised never to leave me, did you?"

"Mom, these things, Mr. Aubrey is not interested in......"

"You're wrong, miss." Aubrey interrupted her, and though he tried to make his voice seem calm, he still shuddered, "Maybe later, you'll understand how much I care about you." Frankly, I am really surprised and happy to see you sitting with your adoptive mother today. What happened last night, and what you said to me, I could never have imagined that you would suddenly go home. I would be glad if you could stop keeping that potentially fatal secret...... Indeed, you have been a friend for many years, and like Mrs. Quinn, I cannot help but worry about your precarious situation. If you remain silent, you will end up falling victim to tragedy, Vivien. ”

Hearing these words, Mrs. Quinn became uneasy.

"What do you mean by that?" She shouted, "So, Vivien is in danger? ”

"Yes, ma'am......" replied Orbrey bravely, despite Vivien's repeated hints.

"God!" The innocent and kind old man gasped and exclaimed, "Vivian, you must tell me everything!" Why do you want to comfort me? What kind of danger is it, Mr. Aubrey? ”

"Someone is cheating on her kindness!"

"Is the Musical Angel a liar?"

"Didn't she just tell you that the Angel of Music doesn't exist?"

"Oh my God! For God's sake, what's going on? The old man pleaded bitterly, "You are almost driving me to death!" ”

"Madam, around us, around you and Vivien, there is a mysterious visitor who is more terrifying than all the devil gods!"

Mrs. Quinn turned her face to look at Vivien, her face white with horror. Fortunately, Vivien had already arrived at her adoptive mother and held her tightly in her arms.

"Don't believe him! Good Mom...... Don't believe him! She repeated it again and again, trying to comfort the old man with a touch, and the old man's sigh broke her heart.

"So, tell me, you'll never leave me again!" The old lady pleaded.

Vivien was silent. Aubrey went on to say:

"You must promise it, Vivien...... Only then can we have peace of mind with your mother and me. If you promise to stay with us in the future, we promise not to talk about the past......"

"I didn't ask you to do that, and besides, I can't promise you anything!" The girl replied haughtily, "Mr. Aubrey, I have freedom of action, and you have no right to interfere, so I ask you not to meddle in your affairs in the future." As for what I have done in the past fifteen days, I think there is only one person in the world who has the right to ask: and that is my husband! However, I don't have a husband yet, and I'll never get married! ”

The words were made in a strong manner, and she pointed at Aubrey as if to be more solemn. Aubrey's face turned pale, not only because of what he had just heard, but also because he saw Vivien wearing a gold ring on her finger.

"You don't have a husband, but you wear a wedding ring."

He tried to grab her hand, but she quickly withdrew it.

"It's just a gift!" Her face was red, and she couldn't hide her embarrassment.

"Vivien, since you don't have a husband, this ring could only have been given by someone who wanted to be your husband! Why deceive us? Why are you torturing me so much? This ring is a promise! And that promise was accepted! ”

"That's what I told her!" The old lady said loudly.

"And what did she say to you, ma'am?"

"I want to say," cried Vivien in exasperation, "don't you think this cross-examination, sir, should it be over?" …… As for me......"

Aubrey was agitated, fearing that she would say anything to sever all ties again, so he interrupted her:

"Miss, I'm sorry to speak to you like that...... But you should be well aware that the reason why I am entangled with these things now is purely out of my sincerity. Perhaps, it's none of my business at all. But let me tell you everything I see...... Vivien, you may not imagine what I've seen............ Or maybe I think I've seen it, because I can't believe my eyes because of such a bizarre experience......"

"So, what do you see, sir, or what do you think you see?"

"I saw you mesmerized when you heard that voice, Vivien! The sound seemed to come out of the walls, or from the next room, from a nearby apartment...... Yes, you're hooked! …… This scares me! You are in the midst of the most dangerous temptations! …… And you seem to have realized that this is a hoax because you say today that the musical angel does not exist at all...... In that case, Vivien, why are you fooled this time? Why did you stand up last night with such radiant complexion, as if you had really heard the angel sing? …… Yes! How dangerous the sound was, Vivien, and even I couldn't help but be distracted when I heard it myself. Somehow, you disappear from your sight...... Vivien! Vivien! For God's sake, and for the sake of old Daaé, who loved us dearly, Vivien, you must tell us, tell your adoptive mother and me, who that voice really is! We will do whatever it takes to save you! …… Go ahead! The man's name, Vivien? …… The man who dared to put a golden ring on you! ”

"Mr. Aubrey," replied the girl coldly, "you will never know!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Mrs. Quinn's shrill voice. Seeing that her adopted daughter was so disgusted with the Viscount, she suddenly sided with Vivien.

"Sir, if she loves that man, it's none of your business!"

"Alas! Madam. Aubrey's tone softened, and tears rained down suddenly, "Alas! I think Vivien did love him...... Everything proves it to me. But, what really disappointed me, ma'am, was that I couldn't be sure if the man Vivien loved was worthy of it! ”

"It should be up to me to judge, sir!" Vivien stared at Aubrey in front of her, an angry expression on her face.

"A man," said Aubrey feebly, feeling exhausted, "to attract a girl in such a romantic way......"

"Either this man is pathetic or this girl is stupid, right?"

"Vivien!"

"Aubrey, why do you say that about a man you have never met? No one knows him, and you yourself don't know anything about him......"

"Nope! Vivien...... No! …… I know at least his name...... Your musical angel, Miss, his name is Quinn! ……”

She suddenly turned pale and stammered:

"Who told you?"

"It's you!"

"How so?"

"Last night, after the masquerade, you walked into your room, didn't you say, 'Poor Quinn!'? Unfortunately, this sentence was heard by Aubrey, who was hiding in the corner. ”

"This is the second time you've been eavesdropping outside the door, Mr. Aubrey!"

"I'm not outside the door! …… I'm in the room! …… In your little living room, Miss. ”

"Oh my God!" The girl trembled, and an indescribable fear appeared on her face, "Oh my God! Do you want to kill yourself? ”

"Maybe!"

This "maybe" contained endless love and disappointment, and Vivien couldn't hold back her whimper.

She took Aubrey's hand and looked at him tenderly. Under her gaze, Aubrey felt that his pain had been healed.

"Aubrey," she said, "you must forget the man's voice, and never think of his name again...... Stop trying to unravel his secrets. ”

"Is this secret scary?"

"In this world, there is nothing more terrible than it!"

The two fell silent. Aubrey was devastated.

"You swear that you will never do anything about it again," Vivien insisted, "and you swear not to enter my room without my permission. ”

"Well, then, you promise me that sometimes you will let me see you, Vivien."

"I promise you."

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

"Well, I swear!"

This was the end of their conversation.

He kissed the girl's hand, cursed Quinn, and admonished himself to be patient, and left Mrs. Quinn's house.

But when Aubrey thought that when the door was opened, darkness followed, and the eyelids returned to the effect of shading, this time he was not in a hurry to roll his eyelids up, but did a sensory exploration, like a master of magic and immortal arts, and the result can be imagined, he is just an ordinary person who cannot be in an ordinary person. It's not a good person, but it's not a bad person, and when it's good, it's like rescuing Vivien from the devil's hole, of course, that's what he thinks, but when it's bad, he helped Mr. Quinn do illegal things, but he doesn't do murder and arson.

He did his best to regain his senses, and in less than a quarter of an hour, his senses changed, and he felt that he was in a cold place, but it was not a basement or a dungeon or anything like that, it was more like a freezer for keeping things, but not a freezer.

The facts also proved this, he tried his best to open his eyes and look at the environment, there were many test tubes, a lot of colorful glass bottles......
