"We have heard about it," the Katenka sisters said in unison, holding the little fox in their arms.
Seeing Wei Ran and Suisui all looking at them, Anfisa simply switched to Russian and explained, "In Austrian folklore, Krampus is a half-goat, half-demon monster, and he and Santa Claus are in opposition.
.”
??Amphiya pointed to the fireplace in the room and added, "Santa Claus brings candies and gifts, enters the room through the chimney and rewards good children. Krampus beats the bad children with birch branches, and then takes them back to the cave to eat
Lose."
??"Every December 6th is Krampus Night," Anfisa also added.
??"Isn't it Saint Nicholas' Day?"
?? Suisui, who was half-blooded, cooed, and then realized that Saint Nicholas is not Santa Claus, but Krampus is really the opposite of Santa Claus.
??Of course, there is a difference between this Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus in the current sense. The former is more of a religious image, while the latter is the bearded old man who pretends to be calling reindeer and wears a red suit and goes through the chimneys all over the world.
, in fact, it is all an image created by Coca-Cola.
??From this point, it can be seen to some extent that Fat House Happy Water is more popular than religions that make people sleepy.
??Seeing that Wei Ran and others had begun to think divergently, Leya, who did not understand Russian, could only knock on the glass and said with some anxiety, "Anyway, the ghost that has been seen by many people has a lot of trouble."
He looks like a Buz, with the horns of a goat, a body covered with long black hair, and a thick chain in his hand."
??Speaking of this, Leya pointed to the city wall outside the window again, "The few times he was seen, he appeared on the city wall, and was even photographed."
??"Have you ever been photographed?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Can you still find the photos from that time?"
??"Come with me"
??Leya led Wei Ran and others out of the room, climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, and went straight into a room where she could see the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the open-air hot spring pool on the second floor.
??After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, Leya dug out a kraft paper portfolio from the cabinet and pulled out two color photos from the portfolio.
??In this first photo, you can clearly see a black figure standing on top of the snow-covered city wall outside the window.
??Although the specific appearance of this figure cannot be clearly seen from this photo, against the backdrop of the snow, one can indeed see a pair of particularly conspicuous and thick horns, as well as a pair of eyes that seem to glow with green light.
??Look at the time in the lower left corner of the photo. This photo was taken in January 2006. I subconsciously turned to the back of the photo. There was also a room number of "303" written on it, as well as a German name called Lucas.
and a string of phone numbers.
??"The morning after the skier Mr. Lucas took this photo, my dad and I went to the city wall to inspect it."
??Leya looked out the window and said, "But there are no footprints on the city wall, nothing. Moreover, we asked the police to analyze it secretly. Based on the angle and distance in the photo, this figure is probably at least two meters tall."
??"How did he disappear?" Wei Ran asked, shaking the photo.
??"He jumped off the wall and disappeared."
??…
??Leya's tone was filled with doubts, "At the location where the photo was taken, the city wall is 37 meters away from the ground outside. Even the distance from the ground inside the castle is more than 20 meters. And most importantly, we don't have it at all.
Find the footprints."
??"No footprints?"
?? Wei Ran muttered to himself and looked down at the second photo. There was still a dark figure in this photo, but it was different from the one just now. In the arms of this dark figure, there seemed to be a person wearing a white dress.
woman.
??However, this photo does not have the time when it was taken, and there is nothing written on the back of the photo at all.
??"This was taken by my father"
??Lea paused and said with difficulty, "Although the person in the monster's arms is not me, the skirt is mine. It should have been placed in the wardrobe of my apartment in Brussels, Belgium. But during the filming
The day after I took the photo, it hung on the one we just saw
??On the olive tree.
??Then...and not long after that, my father died in a car accident while going down the mountain."
??Returning the photo to Leya, Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "Leya, take us to the city wall to have a look."
??"Come with me"
??Leya put away the photos and left the room with Wei Ran and others. After going downstairs, she walked along a corridor and walked up to the city wall that was five or six meters wide.
??Pull it over the female wall that was obviously cleaned not long ago and look outside. The wall must be at least thirty meters straight up and down, and it is so smooth that there is no place to put any force on it.
??In other words, as far as the outer wall of the city wall is concerned, even if we find a monkey from Mount Emei and let it use a pair of crutches exchanged for bicycles, it will probably fall to half death if it wants to climb down.
"Liya, is there a basement or a secret passage here?" Anfiya first asked the questions that Yan Ran and Sui Suixiang asked, about Yayuan Shaoyue Shanding's bathroom and Chuanwen Liangkou.
"There is indeed an underground wine cellar," Xiao Ya paused, "but the only entrance is inside the church, and..."
??"And what?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
??"And the door of the church is locked. Only Mr. Dominic has the key." Leia spread her hands, "No one can enter the church, and no one can enter the cellar."
??"Where are the graves of Mr. Timov and Mrs. Sophie?" Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.
??"There"
??Leya raised her hand and pointed to the rose field outside the castle, "Next to the windmill, Mr. Timov, Mrs. Sophie, and their daughter Qiqi are buried there."
??"Wait a minute, what did you say their daughter's name was?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
??"Qiqi, what's wrong?"
??Leya repeated, "Qiqi Cappe, I heard this from Mr. Dominic, but unfortunately, it is said that she passed away due to an accident a long time ago, and was buried in her favorite place.
Next to the windmill."
??Leya pointed to the windmill in the distance again, "It is said that there used to be a house next to the windmill. Mr. Timov's mother used to grow up in that house. But then Germany
The house was burned down, leaving only the stone base of the windmill. Later, Dominic helped rebuild the windmill.
??Moreover, it is also a place where Mr. Timov’s family comes for vacation and camping every year. It is said that their daughter also likes it very much.”
?? As if worried that Wei Ran and others did not believe it, Leya pointed to her feet again, "If you are interested, you can go to the collection room to find the photos left by Mr. Timov's family and his diary, which contain records
A lot of memories related to that windmill.”
??"We will go take a look when we have time."
??Wei Ran turned around and walked back and said, "Leya, please help us arrange a room. We will stay here tonight." Reading a book
??"I'm going to catch ghosts tonight!"
?? Suisui patted Beria, who was walking between her and Wei Ran. The little face that was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously was clearly full of expectations.
