phantom nightingale

Phantom of the Nightingale by Lang Ya

Copywriting

The omnipotent patron god patrols the land and brings abundance to it.If the Patronus falls in love, and the other party also likes him, the Patronus will become the same species as the other party.

If Eric in The Phantom of the Opera (Phantom) met a nightingale Patrol God Dream God

If both Nightingale and Eric were deeply fascinated by the other's voice.

With Eric accompanied by Nightingale, will the ending be so tragic?

ps: The inspiration and setting of the character Nightingale comes from the chapter "Hunter of Everlasting Spring" in a Japanese manga "Mawari and the Dragon".

pps: The plot mainly follows the musical, and some details are supplemented from the original.

You don't need to read the original book or movie or musical, and it won't affect your understanding of the storyline (it's best if you haven't read it, so you can't catch my bug haha).Of course, I strongly recommend that you go to station b to watch the 25th anniversary commemorative video of The Phantom of the Opera. Joj actually sang very well, but unfortunately I only found the performance video of him and Gina. After watching Sierra's (25th anniversary) performance, I really couldn't accept Gina's performance.

"Mawari and the Dragon" is also a very interesting comic. The setting of the guardian god in it is really cute. I recommend you to read it.

[-]. Encounter

A humble olive-brown bird stood melancholy on a cross-bar in an expensive cage.This bird has a white eyebrow line, and the extended line at the corner of the mouth is also a white line of the same thickness, and between these two white lines is black, dotted with a pair of smart brown eyes.The only thing about the bird that looks pretty is the bright orange neck that stands out from the taupe all over.With such a modest appearance, one can't help but feel that the bird is not a good match for the luxurious cage.In fact, this bird is not famous for its appearance, but its name is familiar because of its singing voice.In many western literary works, its charming singing voice has been described in detail by writers many times.And this bird is even more extraordinary, because it is the protagonist of this book, a unique nightingale.

At this point, our protagonist is getting bored!He was singing at night, but somehow he was caught in a cage.What to do with this, tonight's tasks have not been completed yet!People who were dreaming sweet dreams because of his singing suddenly woke up.Nightingale looked distressed. As a dream god, his duty every night was to sing people to sleep, but now he was caught in a cage. Although people were awakened by the sudden stop of the singing, he didn't have the mood to sing. up.Although he is a god, he is only a small god, and there is nothing he can do if he is captured.Is it possible to let him sing a song to make his captor have a nightmare?But what good is that?Moreover, it will harm Chi Yu and innocent people, and other people who hear his singing will also fall into nightmares.He is also not good at learning, unable to narrow the scope of his magic power to just one person.

After thinking and thinking, Nightingale finally had to sing again, using magic power to spread his singing to the widest range he could reach, trying to ask for help from all the creatures who could hear his singing in a dream, to see who would believe him Meng, come to rescue him.

While singing, Nightingale thought, the most hopeful thing is to see if his good friend Water God can come to rescue him, but unfortunately Water God is a snake and has no sense of hearing. If he is awake, he cannot hear Nightingale's song, but if He fell asleep because he was within the envelope of the nightingale's song and dreamed what the nightingale wanted him to dream.But the water god is a guy who likes to hide and come out at night, so the chance that he is sleeping at this time is extremely small.

The nightingale was sung all night, but there was no harvest, and the nightingale was resold by the bird catcher to the businessman who sold the birds everywhere.At this time, the businessman was peddling at the gate of the opera house, thinking that people who like to listen to opera should also like a bird with an excellent singing voice!Nightingale was also very face-saving and kept singing. He felt that it was already morning, and the water god should be asleep, right?Come to sleep quickly, fall asleep quickly, come and save me after you understand my situation!

Under the theater, a masked man was writing a song score. Last night he heard a beautiful singing voice and had a dream for the first time in a long time. Although the singing voice stopped abruptly, that dream It brought him endless inspiration.So after waking up with a start, he immediately jumped out of bed regardless of whether it was still late at night, and rushed to the desk to record his inspiration.I wrote it until the morning, but I didn't know how to end it. It couldn't be like his dream, let the song just stop there so abruptly, right?The man was struggling, but suddenly heard the singing from last night.ah!The singing is so beautiful, it makes people mesmerized, the powerlessness and pleading inside, the helplessness of being trapped and the desire for freedom are so... huh?Is the owner of the song calling for help?The man stood up immediately, and followed the singing to find the past, until he found the ground under the entrance of the opera house.Well, that's right here, the singing came from above his head, it seemed that his inspiration and his muse were at the gate of the opera house, and they were asking for help.

He went out from an exit of the secret passage leading to the ground, hid in a corner where no one could see, and peeped, and saw the businessman at the door and the singing nightingale.That's it!That is his muse.oh!The bright orange throat vibrating with the singing is so dazzling, and the singing is so melodious.

The man tidied up his clothes, well, it was decent.Enduring the discomfort of being exposed to the sun, he walked out from the corner, and walked towards the bird without looking sideways, ignoring the curious eyes of people on the street at the mask on his face, only he tightly His clenched hands revealed his uneasiness.He walked up to the merchant and stared straight at the bird in the cage.

The businessman looked at this strange man with an astonishing aura, and was a little afraid to go forward.But seeing him staring at the nightingale in the cage, he mustered up the courage to say: "Sir, although this little bird looks unattractive, its bright orange throat is quite bright. And the biggest bird The beauty is its singing voice, this is a nightingale, and it is the best. You can tell by listening to its singing."

But the bird in the cage seemed to be frightened by the man's gaze, and stopped its beautiful singing very uncooperatively, and jumped uneasily.The man's body froze, his muse was frightened by his terrifying face, and remembered the mask that had never been taken off on his face - the one his mother gave him and the only "gift" he had ever received "- Only then did he gather his mind, restrained his gaze, and tried to make himself look softer.

The businessman was annoyed by the uncooperative bird, cursed in a low voice, and smiled apologetically to the man: "I'm afraid this bird is a bit shy, but it is one of the best in a hundred, and its singing is very moving. You won't regret it if you buy it back, sir!" "As he said, he patted the cage vigorously, trying to make the nightingale sing a few times.

Nightingale was frightened by the businessman's brutality, and jumped up and down in the cage in fright.The man gave the businessman a hard look, threw out a wad of banknotes, and walked away with a cage and a bird.When the businessman recovered from the fierce stare, the man had disappeared.

Returning to the familiar dark underground, the man pressed his heart, which was a little too lively due to the tension in the crowd, and let out a long sigh of relief.Looking down at Nightingale in the cage, she saw that Nightingale was tilting her head and looking at him curiously.The man raised the corners of his mouth stiffly, trying to give the bird a smile, but the bird was startled by the stiff expression and frowned.The man had no choice but to recover his paralyzed face, and walked towards his residence with the bird.

The man put the bird on his table and watched the nightingale silently.Nightingale sensed that he was not malicious, and gradually retracted the blown feathers.

The man said: "Is that singing voice I heard last night yours? That singing voice made me have a good dream, the only good dream I have ever remembered. I wrote a song for this dream. But because My dreams come to an abrupt end and I can't write the end of the song. Can you sing me another song?"

Nightingale heard the man's deep and magnetic voice, and felt that his words were like singing, so she couldn't help being fascinated.When he came back to his senses, he saw the man was looking at him with a straight face, but his eyes were filled with infinite expectations.Nightingale looked at the man suspiciously, did the man say something just now?What are you doing looking at me like that?

The man waited for a while, but saw that Nightingale was just looking at him, and sighed, "Oh, how could you understand what I said?" Then he stretched out his slender hands, opened the birdcage and said: " You go! You should be free to sing little songs at night, not locked in a birdcage."

Overjoyed, Nightingale flew out of the cage and flew towards the entrance where the man had brought him in just now.Seeing the bird fly away without a second thought, the man was a little disappointed as expected.What is he thinking?How could the birds yearning for freedom like to stay in this dark underground.I just don't know when I will be able to hear the wonderful singing of birds again.

The man looked down at the music score again, but still couldn't think of a perfect ending.The man went to the piano again, playing and singing according to the music score, trying to find the inspiration for the ending.

The inspiration for this article comes from The Phantom of the Opera. I read the original work a long time ago, and then I read a good fan of Dorian’s Phantom
