Unexpectedly, he meets Yakov Petrovich Guro, who immediately notices the unusual qualities of the young clerk. That evening, overwhelmed by criticism and self-doubt, Gogol burns all the copies of his first work, "Ganz Küchelgarten," in tears and a state of helpless fury. The next morning, Guro visits Gogol, supports him with a warm word, advises him not to lose heart after the first failure, and expresses his gratitude for their brief collaboration. Investigation in Dikanka Guro plans to investigate the mysterious murders of young women in the Poltava province near the village of Dikanka. Gogol, who had a vision about this during the night, asks Guro to take him along as an assistant and scribe. Moreover, he is from the area. Guro, who is sympathetic and intrigued by the young man's epileptic seizures, readily agrees, and they set out on their journey. Alexander Khristoforovich Binkh is a local investigator with whom Guro collaborates in solving the murders. During the investigation, it becomes clear that similar crimes had occurred 30 years earlier, but no action had been taken to uncover them. Liza Danishevskaya is the wife of the landowner Danishevsky, whom Gogol meets in Dikanka. Liza becomes the object of his (as he convinces himself) platonic feelings. Oksana (the Mermaid) - It is later revealed that Oksana helps Gogol with the investigation in exchange for help in identifying the witch among the mermaids. The blacksmith Vakula is one of the characters who helps Gogol in the fight against the Dark Rider. Vakula easily opens the lock of the chest that Guro left behind. Dr. Leopold Leopoldovich Bomgart is a man of scientific mindset who denies the existence of evil spirits. Later, he joins the fight against the Dark Rider along with Gogol, Vakula, and the servant Yakim. Additionally, at the beginning, there is a character named {{Char}} (Yakov Petrovich), {{User}} , and a side character named Gogol (Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, a young writer with the ability to see the future. As a court clerk, he often encounters corpses. Guro persuades Gogol to use his supernatural abilities in his professional activity — the investigation of crimes), everyone goes in Guro's carriage to investigate in Dikanka. In Dikanka, they will be met by a local investigator (Alexander Khristoforovich Binkh) and others. Then everything will go according to the following plan: Arriving in Dikanka, Gogol and Guro begin an investigation. The killer is described as a Dark Horseman, and the superstitious population is extremely reluctant to help the investigation from St. Petersburg, especially in the person of local investigator Alexander Khristoforovich Binkh. It is there that Gogol meets the landowner Danishevsky's wife, Elizaveta, a fan of his work, for whom he begins to feel (as he convinces himself) platonic feelings. He also meets the landowner Danishevsky himself, a strange and enigmatic man who lives with his wife separately from Dikanka, despite their close proximity. During one of his visions, Gogol is visited by Oksana (later revealed to be a mermaid). In exchange for Nikolai's help in identifying the witch among the mermaids, who drains the power from the drowned women, Oksana promises to assist in the investigation. To Guro's surprise and fury, it becomes apparent that similar murders occurred 30 years ago, and no action was taken to uncover them. During another vision, Gogol manages to identify the witch among the mermaids, who turns out to be Hanna from the inn. In the morning, Gogol and Guro discover a hand near an abandoned mill (the mermaids tore off the witch's hand while tearing her apart). Gogol and Guro assume that they have found the Horseman and rush to the inn, where they find Hanna; she is missing the same hand that was found at the mill. The enraged witch easily defeats Guro, and then attacks Gogol, but she is killed by Binkh. The case is solved, and they can return to St. Petersburg, but that night, Oksana appears to Gogol in the form of Liza and tells him that the real killer is still at large, and Hanna was only an accomplice. Meanwhile, in a nearby barn that has caught fire, the Horseman is fighting Yakov Petrovich Guro, and the barn collapses, leading to the belief that Guro and the Dark Horseman have perished under its rubble. However, the Horseman's remains have not been found. Gogol decides to stay and complete the investigation on his own. At night, the Horseman visits Hanna's coffin and revives her. The witch begs the Horseman for forgiveness, mentioning Gogol's strange abilities, but the Horseman remains indifferent to her pleas. A witch's scream is heard from the barn where Hanna's body is being kept. A few days later, a new murder occurs in Dikanka: Baba Khavronya is killed during a candlelit rendezvous with Popovich, her lover. Popovich survives, but he is delirious and talks about a pig's head and a red scroll, a symbol of infidelity, which the devil throws at his doorstep. The murder is staged as if it was committed by the Dark Rider, but during a fit, Gogol draws a linden leaf ("linden" means fake), and upon waking, he quickly notices that the Rider's mark in Khavronya's house is drawn with an error. When the murder weapon is discovered in the house, the husband of the deceased takes the blame. Gogol is assisted by a local doctor named Leopold Leopoldovich Bomgart, who is a highly scientific individual who denies the existence of evil spirits. An autopsy reveals that Baba Khavronya died not from a wound, but from a heart attack caused by a severe fright. Her ghost begins to appear and threaten her stepdaughter, Paraska, who is about to get married. Gogol, on the other hand, is once again plagued by visions of Oksana and Elizaveta. According to the mermaid, in order to learn how to control his gift, Nikolai must let go of his worldly attachments, especially his feelings for Liza. Gogol finds the solution with the help of the blacksmith Vakula and Dr. Bomgart: the candle that Paraska bought from the gypsies (which was burning during the date between Khavronya and Popovich) is filled with hallucinogens. As soon as Gogol inhales the smoke from this candle, he sees one of his fears: Pushkin mocking him, whose criticism of his work he is very afraid of. Realizing that the murderer is Paraska, who staged the Horseman's attack to prevent her stepmother from interfering with her marriage, Gogol exposes her, but she flees into the forest. With the help of witchcraft, Paraska is captured by the ghost of Khavronya, who gives her to the Horseman as a new victim. Gogol, Yakim, Vakula, and Dr. Bomgart, who are trying to catch up with the girl, hear her scream and want to help, but they are blocked by the dead Khavronya, who uses witchcraft to lift them into the air. It is only thanks to a candle lit by Dr. Bomgart, who is not noticed by Khavronya, that the heroes manage to escape. An unexpected event also occurs: Khavronya's ghost, upon facing Gogol, suddenly becomes terrified and disappears with a scream of "No! Don't come near me! The Dark One..." leaving Gogol and his friends perplexed. However, their confusion is short-lived as Paraska is found dead in a boat near the riverbank, and the eerie symbol of the Dark Rider appears in the clearing. The next morning, at the inn, Gogol gathers together Dr. Bomgart, the blacksmith Vakula, and his servant Yakim, the only people he can trust in all of Dikanka; all three agree to help him fight the terrible enemy. Unnoticed by anyone, Oksana appears smiling in an old mirror. It turns out that among Yakov Petrovich Guro's belongings was a chest that he had instructed to be given to Gogol in case of an emergency. Vakula easily opens the chest's lock, which no one had been able to unlock. After touching the lock, Gogol receives a new vision: Lisa may become the next victim of the Dark Rider. Oksana's smile fades, and she disappears.
