The sound of water rushing, raindrops falling into the lake stirred up ripples in circles. The humid air with the smell of earth turned into moisture with the smell of fish. The feeling of standing on a rocking boat is different from the feeling of standing on flat ground.
It feels completely different.
"This is amazing!"
Mr. Green said in surprise, opened his umbrella and looked around:
"We'll be in the lake in no time!"
The doctor shook his head. Like Shade, he took out the pocket watch with only one pointer and took a look. At this time, the pointer was already pointing to the number "3":
"A slight force has invaded this dream, but you don't need to pay attention yet. Detective, you are right, there is something wrong with Edwards' bloodline. As long as they approach this island in their dreams, the dream will be connected to reality."
"Will it affect the plan?"
"It's hard to say, but I have made a lot of backup plans."
He just put away his umbrella in the rain, and then hit the side of the boat with the umbrella head - "dong dong dong". Three times, the pouring rain stopped abruptly, and the moisture on the three people's bodies quickly evaporated.
Although there are still clouds overhead and the surrounding water vapor is still heavy, it is at least much better than rain.
The boat in the dream sailed silently into the thick fog. It seemed that only half a minute later, Shade saw the small pier in the fog. Mr. Solon Green had obviously never been to this island, but the pier in the dream was clearly visible.
Exactly like the real world, this once again proves the connection between Edwards' bloodline and the island.
After the ship docked, the three of them stepped onto the pier and entered the island one after another. However, there was no trace of fog on the island, and Shade was not used to it. The doctor looked at his pocket watch again, and the number was already pointing to "4".
As Shade, the only one who knew the way, led the two of them into the forest path connecting the dock to the town of Green Lake, the pointer jumped directly to "5".
The doctor didn't say anything, just let Shade lead the way, and he walked side by side with the curious Mr. Green behind.
Just like the last time Shade entered Megan and Audrey's dream, the dream about this island was so dark and gloomy. Although there were no monsters, the silence in the silence was even deeper and more terrifying.
In the abandoned town of Green Lake, several houses were lit with lights for some reason. The rain that had been stopped by the doctor also started to patter again as they entered the island. After walking through the forest and entering the town, the number on the pocket watch suddenly changed from "5" to "5".
"Jumping to "7", the barking of dogs in the distance startled the three of them, and the three-round moon in the night sky became darker and darker.
"This is where my grandmother and the others once lived."
With fear mixed with surprise, Mr. Soren Green didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
Walking through the town, both Shade and the doctor were sure that there would be no residents in this dream, but they all felt like they were being spied on. The hands of the pocket watches in their hands continued to rotate slowly clockwise. As they passed through the town, they came to
By the time we reach the Edwards mansion on the hillside, the number has reached "8."
The night in the dream was getting thicker, but there was no thick fog in the town in the dream, so I could barely see some of the surrounding scenery. The owner of the dream was not in a good state, and the psychological implications of the dream for him made the dream more and more intense.
sliding down a strange and eerie slope.
In the drizzling rain, Xia De, who was walking in front, even felt that he would not be surprised even if a dozen evil spirits appeared in front of him.
Mr. Soren Green had begun to tremble all over, and his instinct was making him resist moving forward. In the end, Dr. Schneider could only help him move forward. Shade was a little worried about this, but since the doctor still had confidence, he also
I won't give up the plan just like that.
Gradually, the Edwards Mansion in the night rain appeared from a higher place. The first thing that was seen in the rain was the light in each window, but the light was too dazzling to make it impossible to see clearly what was inside the building.
In this gloomy environment, the house with lights on in the middle of the deserted island in the rain should not be entered rashly.
None of the three people in the group spoke. Under the leadership of Shade, they got closer and closer to the house, until they were blocked by a fence outside the mansion.
Shade also encountered this situation last time in Megan and Audrey's dream, so he turned to Mr. Solon Green and said:
"Please call the door and tell me who you are."
The trembling man was supported by Dr. Schneider. He thought for a while before speaking:
"I am Soren Green, the grandson of Maria Edwards, and I want to come back for a visit."
Squeak~
The fence door opened automatically, and the three of them walked in one after another. However, Shade did not lead them directly into the building, but signaled the doctor to look at his pocket watch.
"Still 8."
The doctor's voice was calm:
"When you reach this number, you can already determine that there are other things mixed in this dream."
"Don't come in yet, I want to take a look here."
Shade pointed to the well in the southeast of the yard. At this time, the well was covered by a large stone, and a bucket and well rope were placed on the stone.
The father of the Green siblings, the old ghoul Nicholas Green, said that the eldest son of the third generation, Envy Edwards, who died young, was not actually dead at all, but was kept captive in a secret room under a well by his "ancestors" since he was a child.
Experiments on various elixirs have even survived to this day.
In this dream mixed with strange powers, there is a high probability that there will not be the living dead. But if all the terrain and architectural structures on this island correspond to reality, then there should be a secret room underground.
He told the doctor and Mr. Soren Green his thoughts. Of course, he did not directly mention the source of intelligence in the dream. The doctor also agreed with Shade's exploration plan:
"This dream is very weird. Walking around more will help me understand this dream better."
Of course, they would not be stupid enough to go down the well alone while the others waited on the ground, but planned to go down together. However, the large stone slab covering the mouth of the well seemed to have grown together with the entire well, and Xia De could not move it no matter what.
. He wanted to raise his hand and use "fossils into mud" to directly melt the stone slab, but was stopped by the doctor:
"It's better to be cautious."
He whispered something into Mr. Green's ear. The latter nodded slightly and said to the stone slab:
"I'm a little thirsty. I want to get some water from the well."
When Shade tried again, the stone slab was easily moved.
He casually picked up a stone and threw it down the well. Then he imagined a luminous spell in his dream, activated it and threw it into the well. Seeing that the well was not deep, Shade turned into a red butterfly and flew in. The doctor held Mr. Sauron Green tightly.
Follow behind.
The well was almost dry, the bottom was sticky and slippery, and there was a strange smell, but the area was quite large. After they lit their lights, Shade and the doctor just looked around, and then directed Mr. Sauron Green to say
:
"Look, why are there cracks in this stone wall? Is there a secret door here?"
There was a keyhole on the wall, but no one knew where the key was. So Shade used the "Key of the Door" a little, and the door of the secret room was actually pushed open. What was shown to the three people behind the door was a
A room similar to an alchemy workshop.
The area of the secret room is quite large, at least three times the size of Shade's bedroom. Unlike the sticky and slippery bottom of the well, the secret room under the well separated by a wall is still dark, but the air is dry, except for the smell of urine and urine.
There was a bed and a small table in the corner, and other than that there were only bookshelves and test benches. Of course there was no one here, and when I opened the books, there were only blank pages inside. But when Shade raised his right hand, the fingertips
The moonlight immediately illuminated the dense carvings on the surrounding walls.
This is not a text, but a completely hand-carved picture. The mural can be divided into two areas, the left area records a humanoid object, eating, drinking and even being forced to undergo surgery to implant certain objects.
Not only were there stones that seemed to refer to the Philosopher's Stone, but the humanoid object even ate something that looked like a child. The doctor and Mr. Sauron Green were both surprised, but Shade corrected them:
"It may be a derivative of a relic called the 'Baby Fruit'. The relic itself is the 'Immortal Tree', which can only produce fruits when the era changes."
This part of the mural probably records the content of the third generation eldest son who was forced to experiment on the elixir.
As for the mural on the right side of the head, it has become somewhat abstract. It depicts the humanoid object on the left passing through the doors. And as the humanoid does so, the lines depicting him gradually become lighter and more incoherent.
Shade didn't know what this meant, so he carefully wrote down these murals, while the doctor tried to find another exit from the secret room, but failed.
Except for the entrance we just entered, there are only small openings for ventilation and ventilation, which can only allow little Mia or a big mouse to pass through. As for how Envy Edwards, the eldest son of the third generation living here, obtains food, there is probably only
Only then did the people on the island know.
They did not stay underground for too long, and soon returned to the surface, and then led by Shade, they pushed open the door of Edwards' old house.
The building was brightly lit, as if a grand banquet was about to be held here, but in fact there was no one there. Mr. Soren Green shivered even more. His own dream had completely frightened him. For him,
Said that the house seemed scarier than the eerie island. Megan and Audrey said that the passage leading to the blood-red door is in the basement, and the location of the basement has been explained by the witches. Finding the door to the basement is not easy.
It was complicated, but when the three of them faced the black iron door, Shade did not open it immediately, but looked at the doctor.
The doctor showed him the pocket watch in his hand. The hands were shaking crazily as if suffering from Parkinson's disease, and they were no longer of any reference value:
"The target should be behind the door. Do you remember the plan?"
