The Devil's Sorrow (from the Polish Middle Ages Saxony)

It is rumored that in the early 17th century, the devil had made a strange contract with the House of Saxony, the contents of which are unknown. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The devil composed a beautiful "The Devil's Sorrow" for the Saxony family. For more than 200 years, no one has heard this piece played. Because it is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Saxon family.

In 1939, after the Nazi occupation of Poland, the Gestapo found a scroll written in Hebrew in the basement of the Royal Palace in Warsaw. Hebrew is the official written language of the Jewish people. The text mentions the song "The Devil's Sorrow." It is said to have a divine power that can change the world. Legend has it that the heir to the music was a person with a butterfly birthmark on his right arm.

Hitler, the leader of the Nazis, was not only a murderous devil, but also a music-obsessed figure. His love for music is well known. His three favorite musicians were Wagner, Beethoven, and Brahms. At the celebration of Hitler's 53rd birthday, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was played. Hitler's admiration for Wagner's music accompanied him throughout his life, and from his wandering days in Vienna, he often bought standing tickets to see Wagner's operas. When he became a great dictator, he did his best to promote Wagnerian music.

When Hitler heard that there was such mysterious music in the world, he sent people to find it secretly. I searched for two years, but there was no clue. Later, Hitler sent Heydrich, the head of the SS Security Service and deputy head of the secret police, to take charge of the matter.

Heydrich was brutal by nature, and he organized and responsibly carried out the "Final Settlement Plan for the Jews" proposed by Hitler himself. He even devised a program and specific measures for the murder of 11 million Jews.

However, he is also a loyal and passionate music lover. He had a fanatical penchant for classical music, especially those by Haydn and Mozart. He himself was able to play many classical musicians' tunes beautifully.

And not only him, so the German officers had an almost insane cult of music. The extremely natural state of mind when they kill people, this genocidal massacre is just a job, a mission. When they are tired of playing, they are used to playing a piano piece to take a break, exchange the joy of music for the fun of killing, or dilute the boredom of killing.

Based on that document, Heydrich speculated that the master of the piece was Jewish. After a mass raid and a massacre, the Jewish ghetto was emptied. He only inquired about the whereabouts of the song through the most Jewish places in the concentration camps, and traced people all over Europe who had butterfly birthmarks on his right upper arm. But the Jews in the concentration camps claimed that they did not know music, and that they were just low-class workers.

He was so disappointed that he almost gave up the job. Until that snowy morning, he caught a couple of Jews, a family of three, preparing to flee, to be exact.

He ordered the young soldiers to take them to the outskirts of the city to prepare for execution. So they got into a military vehicle. Half an hour later, they came to the outskirts of the city, where there was a dense forest, and the whole was covered with snowflakes because of the snow.

Not far from the trees, there is a dilapidated church. He didn't want to feel like killing in the presence of God, even for the Jews he thought was too bloody, so he ordered his soldiers to take them deep into the woods and be executed.

A few people walked forward silently, except for the creaking of their shoes on the snow. After walking for a while, he felt that it was almost enough and that the place was suitable, so he told the soldiers to stop.

The soldier stopped and looked around, and they were in the middle of the woods, and there was only a small gray patch of sky except for the trees. Occasionally, a crow chirped hoarsely, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky.

Heydrich stood there smiling, and suddenly he remembered something. He strode forward, walked up to the trio, and ordered them to show him his right arm bare.

To his astonishment, one of the three was a young Jewish man with a butterfly birthmark on his arm.

He did not speak, silently took out the Luger pistol from his bosom, and the three Jews closed their eyes in despair, waiting for the Grim Reaper to come. The two young soldiers next to him were extremely excited, and they enjoyed watching this exciting killing show.

Unexpectedly, Heydrich suddenly changed direction, turned around, and shot directly at the two soldiers, and before they could react, he ended the lives of the two young soldiers cleanly, even if the excited expression on their faces had not completely subsided.

The three Jews watched in amazement, some not believing their eyes or understanding what he was trying to do.

"What's your name?" He walked up to the young man in the middle and asked lightly.

"My name is Ebenezer."

"Okay, I remember your name. Do you want to save your life? ”

The three looked at each other, then nodded.

"It's okay to save your life, but I have one condition."

"If we don't say one condition, we will all agree to the condition for a hundred years."

"Well, Ebenezer, I'd like to hear you play that devil's sorrow."

The young man hesitated, thought silently for a minute, and then agreed to his request.

Heydrich took him alone to the dilapidated church. It just so happens that there is an old piano inside the church. He ordered him to play immediately. Ebenezer sat down in front of the old piano, ready to play. But before playing that tune, he said quietly: "Are you sure you won't regret it after I play it?" “

"Of course, don't bother talking, I want to hear it immediately, or I'll break my promise and execute you right away." Heydrich ordered the young man with a pistol pointed at his chest.

The young man did as he was ordered to play the tune. Heydrich closed his eyes and admired it without distraction.

It wasn't until the last note was long gone that Heydrich opened his eyes and smiled contentedly.

"The music is too beautiful to describe in barren words. This kind of music can only exist in the devil's place, in the human imagination. I couldn't believe I could hear it with my own ears. Each melody sees the newborn world and the dead world, which not only allows me to see the insignificance of human beings, but also the eternity from the universe! What are religions and states in front of it? Even our great Führer is as small as sand in front of it! That oasis in its barren desert soul gives me the source of life! It dominates my will from the deepest part of my heart, and I am willing to die for it. “

With that, Heydrich raised his pistol and shot himself in the temple, and in an instant he collapsed in a pool of blood. Then his body seemed to be set on fire by something, and a deep voice appeared in the air: "I am a demon, I have come to judge you." Judge your disobedience and sinful deeds during your lifetime. “

Heydrich's soul seemed to be crying out in pain, but to no avail, and his voice faded into a wisp of smoke in the midst of the fire. Strangely, none of the wooden structures of the church were destroyed by the fire, including the young Jews.

Eventually, the young Jew left Poland safely and made it to Shanghai.
