Chapter 799: The Death Pine (Part I)

Why does a wife commit suicide? Obviously, she was still laughing happily just now, why did she die after more than ten minutes. Remember our address novel: She also committed suicide silently, without making any sound at all. What's going on? What's going on?

Klaus stumbled into the living room to call the emergency number, and when he put down the phone, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and ran to Brown and Jieming's room on the second floor. The kids weren't in the room. Klaus's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, and he searched everywhere like crazy, and finally found that the floor stall in the living room was covered with a piece of carpet that had been in the utility room. Uncover the carpet, and the blood stains on the ground are all over the ground.

He went to the bathroom, and the bathtub was covered in blood. Brown's body was gone, and only the head remained. After Benjamin's body was dismembered, many parts of his body were mutilated, and much flesh was cut off.

Recalling the fragrant meat he had just eaten, Klaus finally understood. His stomach twitched, and he clasped his fingers around his throat and vomited all the food out of his stomach.

He vomited for a long time, but no matter how much he vomited, he couldn't vomit enough. Klaus felt that little Benjamin's flesh still had a lot left in his stomach, and he couldn't spit it out. He vomited desperately, and his stomach was sour and vomited. Inadequate. Finally, he vomited the blood.

Not enough, still not enough. There is still something in the stomach.

Klaus felt his vision begin to blur, and he felt a large lump of something come out of his mouth, but he couldn't see what it was.

His consciousness began to blur as well.

Before the ears became deaf, they heard the rush of the sirens of ambulances.

It was late, and I was still sitting in front of my computer flipping through the materials for Grimm's Fairy Tales. For some reason, I couldn't sleep. Deep down, I still seem to be very concerned about the book with the black cover.

In June 2005, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared the German-language Grimm Fairy Tales, originally titled "A Collection of Fairy Tales for Children and Families", as a World Heritage Site, praising it as "an epoch-making compilation of European and Eastern fairy tale traditions", and included this collection of fairy tales collected, organized, processed and compiled by the Brothers Grimm in the "Memory of the World" project of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Therefore, in Germany, the title "Grimm's Fairy Tales" should have been used only in recent years. Before 2005, almost all of the titles were used as "Fairy Tales for Children and Families".

But the book with the black cover uses the name of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", although the grammar is obviously an ancient system from two hundred years ago. But judging the authenticity, there are still many debatable points. The most important thing to research is in the title of the book. Exactly did the Brothers Grimm use such a title when they proposed the original version? And for what reason did it change to the title of the "Collection of Fairy Tales for Children and Families", which was used in Germany for nearly two hundred years?

In 1812, the Brothers Grimm collected folk tales and compiled them into the first volume of the Fairy Tales for Children and Families, which was published in Berlin on Christmas Eve and became a huge hit. From then until 1857, the Brothers Grimm continued to supplement the story and revise it again and again, resulting in seven editions. The seventh edition later became the original version that circulated throughout the country. Many people have a rumor that before the first edition, there was a handwritten version. It was sent by the Brothers Grimm to the publisher for review, and this is the only one. According to various accounts, it has also been mentioned that the original manuscript version did use a black cowhide cover.

But for various reasons, the manuscript was lost. And the publisher who received the manuscript is close to death. Externally, the Brothers Grimm denied the existence of this manuscript. This has become an eternal mystery in the field of history and the study of Grimm's fairy tales.

I once heard from my mentor that this old man, who was almost sixty years old, still has a plot about Grimm's fairy tales. Naturally, he is also the president of the German Society for the Study of Grimm's Fairy Tales. This guy often lamented with regret that if he really found that manuscript, many of his doubts could be answered.

If the manuscript Andrew gets is genuine, it's not bad to sell it to a mentor. He's definitely happy to pay a big price. Besides, there is also a condition that I am not allowed to take credits, which is completely a few birds with one stone. It's dark to think about.

I looked at my watch, it was almost midnight, I turned off the computer and was about to go to bed, when suddenly my phone rang wildly. The screen shows Regia's name.

Why did she call me so late? I rubbed my nose in confusion and connected the phone.

"Silent at night, come here, I have something new." Her voice was excited.

"What discovery?" I was a little sleepy and asked awkwardly.

"It's a great discovery, I know how the murderer committed the crime." She said mysteriously.

"What murderer?" My head couldn't react for a while.

"Lady Roger, the vampire." Reguia exclaimed on the other end of the phone, "She's committing crimes on a regular basis." I've found her pattern! ”

This girl with a fantastical spirit has probably completely regarded Madame Roger, who killed more than a dozen men and drained them all of their blood, as a creature like a vampire. I let out a small enthusiastic 'oh'.

"Anyway, you're coming over soon, I'll ......" Before he could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. I heard the sound of the phone landing in my ear. After that, on the other end of the communication, all that remains is a busy signal.

"Hey, hey. Regia? "I yelled twice at my phone, then hung up and waited. No phone replay came over. I called the phone, but it kept being turned off. I couldn't help but sink in my heart. Did something happen to her?

I immediately got dressed and put the pistol in the hidden part of my coat. Knocking Andrew's door.

"Ah Ye, it's midnight. Do you want people to sleep? Andrew's fat body is wearing children's pajamas, and the slightest glance at it makes me feel a stomachache.

I didn't have time to complain, so I ordered, "Quick, get dressed." ”

"What?" He seemed to be sleepy.

"I'm afraid something happened to Regia." I lowered my voice and said in a hurried tone, "Let's go to her house at once." ”

"How so!" Andrew was afraid of Reguia, but he cared about the girl. He also became anxious, clumsily slipped himself into his clothes.

We sped out of the hotel, got in a rented car, and drove all the way to Regia's house.

At this moment, Reguia is indeed in danger. As for why? It all started after nightfall.

She looked at the "Grimm's Fairy Tales" with a black cover with great interest. She has had a soft spot for old things since she was a child, as if she was born with a love for them. This black-dyed cowhide cover seems to have a mysterious magic that attracts people to open it and make people love it.

So Regia let go of the book.

On the title page of the book is a small poem with no name. The content is beautiful, sad, and neurotic.

That's what the nameless poem says

A starry night

You paint the palette blue and gray

One night in the summer

I know that darkness resides in my soul

Silent hills

In this snowy flaxen continent

Book of trees with daffodils

It's all captured in the breeze and the cold winter of the story

Now I know

You're trying to tell me something.

You suffer because of your nervousness

You're trying hard to get them back

But people won't listen, and you don't know what to do

Maybe now they will understand

A starry night

Burning flowers shimmer brightly

Swirling clouds swirl in a purple mist

Reflection in your blue eyes

Colors change colors

Amber grains sway in the fields in the early morning

Your weathered face is lined with pain

Now I know

You're trying to tell me something.

You're suffering for your nerves

Yes, she won't love you

But your love has always been pure

When hope is gone

On that star-stricken-filled night

Like couples often do

You ended your life

A starry night

Portraits hang in the empty hall

On the nameless wall hangs an unframed avatar

Your eyes are fixed on the world

You can't seem to forget it even when you're dying

Like the strangers you meet all the time

The ragged man was dressed in shabby clothes

Silver-gray bullets, bleeding roses

The lie broke in this blank snow

Although Regia could not understand the words of the poem, she was deeply fascinated. She flipped through the title page and read the fairy tales one by one. She read "Grimm's Fairy Tales" when she was a child, but the order of the content of this book is very different from what she used to read. I remember that in the version published now, the first story should be "The Frog Prince".

But this book is a fairy tale called "The Little Shepherd". And this story, she has not read at all. Regia looked at it slowly, and she soon realized that there were many stories in this "Grimm's Fairy Tales" that were not available in the current version.

Once upon a time, I heard that the Brothers Grimm had been revising the story until the seventh edition, which is also the final version that has been handed down to this day. It seems that the rumors are indeed true.

Regia finished the book and stretched. She sat in her chair, staring at the book that was spread flat on the table, her head a little confused. The book is indeed full of fairy tales, and the prince and princess get married and live happily ever after. The storyline is still the same simple and old-fashioned, the protagonist always encounters difficulties at the beginning, and when the difficulties cannot be overcome, there are always fairies and elves to help, and the end is always rewarded with good and evil, and everyone is happy.

And the characters are not plump at all, and there is almost no psychological description at all; The language is dry, the ideas are vulgar, and there is little merit to talk about other than the story being quirky enough. It seems that since I was a child, I didn't like this fairy tale book very much.

She was about to close the pages of the book when suddenly, a ridiculous thought came to her mind. Regia hurriedly turned the book back to the first page, skipping the poems, and looking at the first story again.
