Fifteen minutes later, with Wendy's enthusiastic help, Qin Li's trouser belt was rescued, and his underwear did not need to be exposed, Qin Luo's hair was not too messy, the wine in the wine cabinet was not smashed, but there were two more shoe prints on the cabinet, and Qin Luo's hands were stained with a little dust.

When he got out of the car again, Qin Luo held Qin Li's hand, still an elegant, noble, fresh and refined appearance, the gaffe just now was the same as if it had never happened, wearing a black retro-style knee-length skirt, light clothes decorated with complex lace, and a necklace of the same color as his eyes hanging around his neck, which was the stamp of the family crest.

"Lois de Auguste, Alexei Qin, Wendy Varontina de Vivarel." The attendants who had taken off their wigs gave their names in turn, and the man at the door bowed respectfully and opened the door of the old opera.

Qin Luo nodded lightly, and then gently brushed his hair, raised his chin slightly with a swan posture, his face was expressionless, and the powerful aura made Wendy a little unable to adapt, I thought she was just a nervous big sister, but now it seems that she can run so many industries alone and have so many contacts, she is watching people in the cracks of the door.

After entering the opera house, Qin Luo did not go upstairs to the box, but took Wendy around, like a sightseeing tour, talking about the prosperity of the burned opera house.

"Alas, how many operas were staged at that time, and how prosperous it was, with Lucia singing in a ditty tune, and Robert the Devil singing, and Dibor's dancing!" Qin Luo dropped Qin Li, took Wendy's hand, and gently touched the different colors on the wall, thinking that it was a patchwork of scraps from the restoration, and many things flashed in her eyes, just like those prosperous, she had seen it with her own eyes...... For some reason, Wendy's feelings for Qin Luo improved, and she felt that she was an amiable person, and she had a lot of things in her heart, and her good feelings began to accumulate slowly.

This summer, I was going back to school alone, but I came to Paris with a hot brain. However, few people invited her to be her companion, and her heart was warm, especially when she saw the sincere friendliness and concern of Lois when she got along with her.

It was as if she could see what Wendy longed for, and though perhaps it was an invitation for the purpose of the family business, it gave her a real friendship.

Or out of concern for his younger brother, I hope that he will live better in the United States alone, and that having multiple friends will not be bad for both parties.

Wendy didn't notice Qin Luo and Qin Li's family situation, and when she heard the two surnames, she suppressed a little curiosity in her heart, her own family was in a mess, so don't ask about other people's private affairs, that feeling knows best.

"No one......" Wendy looked cautiously around, and as soon as the words fell, many people wearing low-key brand names or private customizations walked in, and scattered towards the hall one after another, but they didn't visit as seriously as Qin Luo and them, and disappeared on the wide staircase to the backstage connected to the hall.

Wendy turned her head to look at Qin Li, Qin Li just followed, Qin Luo made a look, he took Qin Luo's mobile phone and went to the corner to make a call.

"Do you know The Phantom of the Opera?" Qin Luo tilted his head, as if to divert Wendy's attention, and smiled softly, with a bit of naughtiness and banter in his eyes.

"Well, the Gothic novel of the Frenchman, the scene is also the Paris Opera House......"

"Yes, the Phantom lives in the underground labyrinth of the opera house, and destroys the most prestigious crystal chandelier for Christine's sake. What a big chandelier, falling down like the most beautiful dream shattering, and causing a hellish fire, burning all the good and evil......" Qin Luo looked at the gorgeous sculptures on the handrail of the stairs and said softly.

Wendy was a little fascinated by the fact that in such an opera house, burned down...... and the song and dance of the warbler in that novel, which seems to be right in front of you......

The walls are no longer broken, the candles are lit up in circles, the faint chorus of "Hannibal" comes from the stage, through the cold dust, the voice is a little distorted and poignant, the girl who yearns for the opera house is dancing, and the ghost wearing a mask has a rose with a black ribbon in his hand, which is being thrown down from the box, and there is applause in all directions......

The hall was no longer empty, the sound of violins, singing, the sound of carriages, the undulating feathers of different colors, and countless figures dangling in front of them, some so close that they could even see their faces. The dome is not empty, it is hung with all kinds of curtains, and the glittering crystal lamp, which carries countless drunken gold fans.

“Bravo…… Bravissmo...... "The ethereal voice sounded, particularly prominent in the noise of one after another, the voice was very soft, like gauze gently floating in the wind, hazy and intriguing. Hazy ...... Something is shaking...... Wendy blinked, reached out and flicked it in front of her eyes, and saw ...... Black Lasso! There is also a mirror with ...... in it

"Ahh Wendy let out a low cry and saw Qin Luo dangling a rose in front of her, and then came back to her senses. Qin Luo smiled mysteriously and pinned the flowers back to his belt, "What, scared?" ”

Black ribbons? Red roses? Wendy's hands were a little cold.

Wendy was stunned, when did she come here, she was not in the hall just now, in a small alley that looked like a backstage staff walking. Before she could answer, Qin Luo pulled her to a secret door where no one walked, and said with a smile again: "What's more surprising, let's go to the Night Music together to have a look, how about it?" ”

Qin Luo pushed open the door, Wendy's eyes widened suddenly, this is ......

"Let's go, after the maze, the auction officially begins. Miss, please look up and light our lights. ”

The labyrinth of the Phantom of the Opera Dungeon? Could it be that Qin Luo deliberately restored the scenes in the book?

The lights on both sides of the alley, which only had room for the two of them, lit up with Wendy's movements. Two hands sculpted into twisted skeletons protruding from the wall hold candlesticks, lighting the way for the two.

Qin Li was holding a cane that looked like it was some years old, and he was already waiting for them. "It's all been notified, and it's time to enter." He glanced at Qin Luo and returned the phone to her.

"Come, follow the lights, don't go where there is no light, I don't know where it leads." Qin Luo gently took Wendy's hand and led her through the alley with the skull hand candlestick, Qin Li followed closely behind.

Wendy's heart is not very steady, this auction will ...... It's too artistic, isn't it...... Looking back at Qin Li again, he disappeared for a while just now, what did he do......

Qin Li walked freely, following Qin Luo around the alley, absent-mindedly, from time to time touching the rough stone wall with an old but elegant cane.

Qin Luo's general route Wendy secretly remembered in her heart, fortunately, she had a good sense of direction, at the end of this maze was a huge and heavy iron fence, Wendy carefully observed the surrounding environment while filtering the pattern of the dozens of turns just now.

Inferred, this labyrinth should have gradually fallen deep underground, coiled up in circles, and gradually narrowed, and it seemed that there was a large amount of liquid flowing in the vicinity, and the sound of ticking came from all directions.

Before Wendy could study how the skullman's lights were turned on, all the lights went out at once, and Wendy instinctively opened her mouth to scream, and the dense and clear sound of ticking water around her made her swallow back. Is this called writing silence with sound? Wendy struggled to keep her eyes open and peer into the darkness.

The door rose without warning, and it was really the iron fence of the oldest sewer channel, and two blonde squires in masks opened it from within, twisting their hinges mechanically and regularly. Wendy looked up, and the light that dispelled the darkness came from the sky, and although it was a little funny to say that the sky was here, it was bright enough and beautiful enough, like the sun in the underground sky.

The clatter of the crystal pendants, like a music independent of the heavy sound of the fence door rising and the sound of the water flowing, the warm yellow light fell down the countless pendants, enveloping the rotunda and covering the men and women who had taken their seats. The dream-like chandelier in the Phantom of the Opera flickered in this labyrinth at this moment.

————

"Miss August, long time no see!" A pink and tender girl came over and kissed Qin Luo's cheek affectionately, Qin Luo let go of Wendy, but Qin Li left them to find a seat.

"What, are you here for your brother?" Qin Luo smiled and asked the girl named Flor, "Yes, my brother doesn't have enough time, I'll help him, he moves less and is safer." Speaking of his brother, Flor was a little worried, and when she saw Wendy on the side, she thought she was also a "regular customer", so she didn't ask much, and happily went to hand over the chips after saying goodbye.

Wendy was so immersed in this mysterious and dreamy atmosphere that she couldn't tell if she had traveled through the book. "Excuse me, miss—do you want to buy anything, miss? What's in the lot here? Seeing Qin Luo walking towards Qin Li, Wendy followed behind Qin Luo and cautiously picked up words.

"It's just some antiques, and alchemy and dragons have a lot to do with it, today I want to introduce you to the" special products ", a limited number of babies produced every day, can beautify and nourish the skin, prolong life, and even immortality. Interested? ”

Qin Luo turned her back to Wendy, she couldn't see her expression, and she spoke like a riddle, so she really couldn't figure out if it was a joke, Wendy lowered her eyes and didn't answer.

The old suspicions resurfaced...... Bringing her here for a purpose?

A total of eight people, sat down around the round table, Qin Li handed over the black card, the waiter nodded to him, and began to speak, "Everyone, there is no need for me to say more, Miss Flor of the Feng family, the three guests who rarely appeared in the Auguste family, Anne of the Latienne family, Mr. Fred, Gérard of the Charon family, and Mr. Old Lines of the De LS family, this year's special cargo 'time' due to the seller's temporary notice, there are only three copies, there are requirements, that is, a quick decision, one hour time, needless to say, please start, everyone." ”

"Chuck, why is you in such a hurry?" Flor asked in surprise, his eyes widening, "We have the right to ......"

"Miss Flore, isn't that good? Or do you have a big family but don't dare to come to this social practice? Lines, with his unkempt gray hair, seemed to have bad intentions, and his scathing voice went straight to the innocent Flor.

The crowd at the table began to discuss in a low voice, and Qin Li's eyes did not take his eyes off the book he was reading, and he said in a low voice, "Five million dollars." ”

The waiter Chuck turned to Qin Li, the air solidified even more than just now, and the sound of the water flow came faintly.

At this turn, everyone noticed that the young man holding the book ignored his eye-catching clothes and somewhat free hairstyle, Qin Li's straight nose and fairly soft face formed another contrast with the calmness in his eyes.

Unlike Qin Luo, Qin Luo's eyes always flashed with all kinds of smiles, true and false, difficult to distinguish, and this younger brother, in addition to the sharpness that saw through everything, was an uneasy isolated indifference, like a god who came to you from afar from another world.

Wendy lowered her head, making it impossible to see the change in her eyes after the glasses, and her heart twitched slightly.

When I first met Qin Li, I felt as if something was wrong, and it seemed that I was about to find the truth.

It's just that the degree is not enough...... Wendy's eyes inexplicably burst out with a fanatical aura, a little afraid, but indulged in such artistic conception and mystery.

"What's wrong?" Qin Luo looked at her like this and asked, waiting for Wendy to raise her head, she just responded timidly, "I have never seen such a pomp, I have always been ...... at home Alas. Qin Luo patted her as if comfortingly, and returned to the stalemate meeting.

Gérald, who had a cold face, turned around mechanically, with a young face and warm brown hair, but there was an indescribable indifference, reserved, and old-fashioned, "Dare to ask Your Excellency what ......"

"Alexei, I'm the boss, please hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Qin Li spoke fluent French, his expression was tired, he closed the book with a "snap", threw it in the middle at will, folded his legs, and made a slight noise from the sugar in his mouth.

The other five, no, six, plus a Wendy, were dumbfounded, this time even the chandelier and the sound of the water were covered in surprise
