The Andre family, also known as the "rich family" in Nangong Sanba's mouth, has taken root in this cold snowfield for more than three hundred years. They are wealthy and have a long history. They have incredible industries and ancient roots in Europe. However, people
But few people in the world know the existence of this family: because for more than three hundred years, this family has always followed strict instructions passed down from ancient times, not to get too involved in the world, not to try to escape from this snowfield, and not to attract the attention of others - they
The ancestors and every patriarch firmly believe that only in this way can they maintain the family's property and, of course, their own lives.
The mottled outer walls of the castle record the ups and downs that the family has gone through, and the elegant and luxurious decoration inside the castle shows their wealth and history. The castle has undergone many renovations and modernizations over the centuries.
But the most important frame part has never been changed. It is obvious that every generation of this family knows what secrets are hidden under their castle: they dare not disturb the beast in this cage too much.
When it got dark, Hao Ren saw some servants in the castle starting to run around preparing dinner, which somewhat made this gloomy and depressing building more popular. He was curious about where the servants in this place came from.
Where are they summoned from? It's such a desolate and remote place, and it's also a secluded castle with a gloomy and weird atmosphere. It really doesn't seem like someone can be recruited casually.
Nangong Sanba had already understood the basic situation here, so he naturally assumed the responsibility of explaining: "Most of the servants in the castle have been serving for generations. The Andre family uses their wealth to support these people and let their descendants receive the education of professional servants from an early age.
.In addition, they also recruit people from outside at high prices. But even so, there will still be a loss of some people here every few years: some die in accidents. Some can't stand the atmosphere here and run away. But no matter what...
Rich people always have their own solutions."
The place where Hao Ren and the others are staying now is the "VIP area" on the third floor of the castle. There are gorgeous guest rooms covered with thick velvet carpets, and the rooms are decorated in a palace-like style. The firewood in the heater is crackling. In addition,
All kinds of furniture and electrical appliances are available. However, this luxurious and comfortable room does not make people feel at ease much. From the moment he stepped into the castle, Hao Ren always felt an uncomfortable atmosphere coming from under his feet.
I asked several other people and found out that this was not an illusion.
Vivian has been in contact with angry spirits many times, and she can roughly judge the situation here: "The angry spirits should be underground in the castle, but they have not completely entered the material world. And to be honest... the feeling of this building is...
Very strange."
Hao Ren glanced at Vivian: "It's very strange. The outside of this house looks like a prison."
Vivian shook her head. She opened the window of the guest room and looked out at the dark castle atrium. There were two rows of low long houses extending out from the two wings of the building, forming a cage-like structure behind the castle. She looked at
Looking at the gradually gloomy sky outside, he thought thoughtfully: "I'm talking about other aspects... I always feel like I've seen this place before."
"You don't know if you've seen me or not. Anyway, I'm freezing to death." Betsy crossed her arms and jumped around the room, then slammed the window. "It's so cold in this place! You all are
Are they all monsters?"
At this time, Lily was lying in front of the fireplace staring at the fire in a daze. After hearing this, she raised her head and gave Betsy a look of contempt: "You can't stand the temperature at this temperature? I feel that this temperature is very comfortable!"
Vivian smacked her lips: "This is really a bonus from the ancestors as soon as we get close to the Arctic Circle. At this time, a sled can probably run 80 miles."
Night gradually falls. However, in this place that is close to the Arctic Circle, the phenomenon of extreme day and night can still affect the day's work and rest here. The sun gradually moves closer to the horizon and no longer continues to sink. Instead, it stubbornly sends a weak and weak light.
The sunlight lingered on the earth. The castle did not become brighter under this ray of sunlight. Instead, it looked more gloomy because the light was slanted and dim.
Hao Ren had dinner in the guest room. With nothing to do, he decided to hang out in the corridor outside.
Outside the guest room is a straight corridor covered with dark red carpet. There are also many portraits hanging on both sides of the corridor, and the portraits here are no longer full-length portraits. Instead, they are portraits of people mounted in oval frames. These rigid portraits
The figure paintings looked very strange under the warm light. As Hao Ren walked down the corridor, he muttered to himself: He couldn't understand the wealthy people who hung figure paintings in the corridors of their homes. This was because of their own psychology.
The quality is too good or something, but such a long aisle is already eerie. We also need to hang two rows of zombie-faced ancestors’ photo stickers. That’s all. We also need to add two semi-dark lights next to each photo sticker.
There are so many people going to the toilet in the middle of the night. If one of the lights has a bad contact, it will be like peeing all the way...
Outside the castle, there was a cold Siberian night wind of dozens of degrees below zero, but inside the castle it was still warm and pleasant. Hao Ren was wandering in the corridor in single clothes when he suddenly stopped.
He has been counting the portraits of the ancestors of the Andre family passing by, starting from the youngest generation (that is, the fathers of Andre's current patriarch Igor) and looking at the portraits from the Bolshevik period, the Alexander period, Ye
The faces of Katerina in the oval photo frames cast cold glances at him, and before he knew it, he had reached the end of the corridor.
On the wall facing the corridor hangs a strange portrait:
Different from the oval photo frames on both sides of the corridor, this portrait is a full-length portrait, which depicts a woman wearing a black dress, standing in a background of dark red roses. However, the woman's face is shrouded in a
Under a layer of black gauze.
The portraits of Andre's ancestors on both sides of the corridor are marked with his name and era in a unified format, but under this weird female full-length portrait there is only a simple word: вeдьma (witch)
This strange thing immediately aroused Hao Ren's interest. He began to study the portraits on both sides and the introduction text under the portraits, and finally confirmed that the old man with a white beard hanging on his left was the first recorded ancestor of Andre.
Ancestor, and the woman hanging on the wall in front of her with her face covered must not be a member of the Andre family.
She is not from this family, and she doesn't even have a name. She is simply labeled as a "witch", but she is placed at a higher starting position than all Andre's ancestors.
Hao Ren was just about to go back and invite Vivian and others to come and see what was going on here, but suddenly he heard a noise coming from somewhere.
The sound seemed to come from a room higher up in the castle. Although it was quite weak due to the thick walls, it could still be heard clearly. It sounded like someone was wailing, mixed with throwing sounds.
There was the crunching sound of broken cups and dishes, and the loud sound of furniture overturning. Among these sounds, there were many people shouting, discouraging, and screaming. This chaos lasted for several minutes.
It calmed down, and finally Hao Ren vaguely heard the sound of the heavy iron door closing, and all noise was cut off.
Hao Ren suddenly felt the presence of a stranger next to him. He immediately turned his head alertly, only to be startled: a white figure appeared behind him out of nowhere, standing there like a wandering spirit.
On!
When he took a closer look, he realized that this was not a wandering spirit, but a skinny young girl wearing a white dress. The woman seemed to be seriously ill, her face was pale and her steps were sluggish, and she could not help but sway around even when she was standing there.
She hunched her shoulders and looked at Hao Ren for a while, then suddenly lifted her long hair hanging in front of her face and showed a weird smile: "Did you hear the sound upstairs?"
Hao Ren patted his chest and said that even if he had experienced a war in another world, he would still be in this situation: these two horrors are not the same painting style at all, and the experience does not seem to be cumulative. Then he looked at the situation in front of him curiously.
Strange girl: "Um... who are you?"
He didn't recognize the person in front of him, but based on his clothing, he judged that he was not a servant in the castle.
The young girl didn't seem to hear Hao Ren's words. She just listened to what was going on upstairs with a weird smile on her face: "That's my brother...hehe...the last male in Andre's family. If he can't
If we survive this year, this prison will collapse!"
Then she suddenly raised her head and stared at Hao Ren: "Are you here to catch ghosts?"
"Uh... I guess." Hao Ren made the other party's white eyes stare a little. He realized that the girl in front of him might have a mental problem. At this time, he just wanted to say a few perfunctory words and leave quickly.
"Hehe - they are here to defraud my family of money again..." the young girl giggled, "Okay, okay, they are all cursed things, you can just cheat them away... The witch can't spare us, but
If I can’t help you... I’ll just trick them all away!”
Hao Ren's ears perked up: "Who is the witch?"
But at this time, the madness of the girl in front of her seemed to have broken out. She no longer answered Hao Ren's questions, but muttering away, only intermittent voices could be heard coming from her mouth:
"...Money is cheated, and it is also going to be cheated away...Money that can't be spent, people who can't die...The prison is going to collapse, it's going to collapse, it's going to collapse..." (Novel "Abnormal Creatures"
