Chapter 1782: Under the Well
The sound of water splashed, and raindrops fell into the lake, stirring up ripples. The damp air with the smell of soil turned into dampness with a fishy smell. The feeling of standing on a swaying boat was completely different from standing on flat ground.
"This... is too magical!"
Mr. Green said in surprise, opening his umbrella and looking around: "We arrived at the lake in an instant!"
The doctor shook his head and, like Xia De, took out the pocket watch with only one hand that he had just seen. At this time, the hand had already pointed to the number "3":
"Slight power has invaded this dream, but it doesn't need attention yet. Detective, you are right; the Edwards bloodline has a problem. As long as they approach this island in a dream, the dream will connect with reality."
"Will it affect the plan?"
"Hard to say, but I have made many backup plans."
He just closed his umbrella in the rain like this, and then used the umbrella tip to tap the side of the boat—dong, dong, dong. Three sounds fell, and the pouring rain stopped abruptly, and the dampness on the three of them quickly evaporated.
Although the sky was still covered with dark clouds and the surrounding water vapor was still very heavy, it was at least much better than raining.
This was not text, but completely hand-carved pictures. The murals could be divided into two areas. The right area recorded a humanoid object, eating, drinking, or even being forced to undergo surgery to implant certain objects.
Among them, there was not only a stone suspected to refer to the Philosopher's Stone, but the humanoid object even ate something that looked like a toddler. The doctor and Mr. Soren Green were both very surprised, but Megan corrected them:
Just like the last time Megan entered the dream of Green and Green, the dream about this island was so bright and gloomy. Although there were no monsters, the silence in the silence was even more profound and terrifying.
In such a gloomy environment, the house with lights on in the center of the deserted island in the rain, no matter how you looked at it, should not be entered rashly.
He told the doctor and Mr. Soren Green his thoughts. Of course, he didn't mention the source of the information directly in the dream. The doctor also expanded on Megan's exploration plan:
Creak~
The doctor said nothing, just letting Megan lead the way in front, while he and the somewhat curious Mr. Xia De walked side by side behind.
In the abandoned Green Lake town, for some reason, several houses had lights on. The rain that had been stopped by the doctor also appeared again as they entered the island. Passing through the forest and entering the town, the number on the pocket watch jumped from "5" to "7" at once. The barking of dogs in the distance startled all three of them, and the three moons in the night sky also became increasingly bright.
The small boat in the dream sailed silently into the thick fog. It seemed to be only half a minute before Xia De saw the large pier in the fog. Mr. Soren Green had clearly never been to this island, but the pier in the dream was exactly the same as in the real world, which again proved the relationship between the Edwards bloodline and this island. "Still, be cautious."
The shivering man was supported by Doctor Schneider, and after brewing for a long while, he finally opened his mouth:
Megan pointed to the well in the southeast of the courtyard. At this time, the well was covered by a large stone, and a bucket and well rope were placed on the stone.
This situation was also encountered by Megan in the dream of Green and Green last time, so he turned to Mr. Soren Green and said:
"This dream is very strange. Walking around more is also conducive to my better understanding of this dream."
They didn't stay under the well for too long, and soon returned to the ground. Afterward, Megan led them to push open the large door of the old Soren-Gertz mansion.
"Behind the door should be the target. Do you remember the plan?"
"Please call out to the door and say who you are. Megan tried again, and the stone slab was moved very easily."
In this dream mixed with strange power, there was a high probability that there would be no such living dead. But if all the terrain and architectural structures on this island corresponded to reality, then there should be a secret room under the well.
Of course, they wouldn't be stupid enough to go down the well alone while others waited on the ground, but instead planned to go down together. It was just that the large stone slab covering the well mouth seemed to have grown together with the whole well, and no matter how Megan moved it, he couldn't move it. Wanting to raise his hand to use "Fossil to Mud" to melt the stone slab directly, he was stopped by the doctor:
, and was stopped by the doctor again:
The fence door opened automatically, and the three walked in one by one. However, Megan didn't lead them directly into the building but signaled the doctor to look at the pocket watch.
"Don't go in the door first; I want to go there and take a look."
There was a bed and a small table in the corner, and besides that, there were only bookshelves and experimental benches. Of course, there was no one here, and when those books were opened, there were only blank pages inside. However, when Megan raised his left hand high, the moonlight at his fingertips immediately illuminated the densely packed carvings on the surrounding walls.
"Look, why are there cracks on this stone wall? Could there be a secret door here?"
The doctor's voice was very calm:
Fear mixed with surprise, Mr. Soren Green didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
"Reaching this number, it can be confirmed that this dream is mixed with other things."
"It might be a derivative of a relic called 'Baby Fruit'. The relic body is the 'Tree of Longevity', which can only produce fruit when the era changes."
After the boat docked, the three stepped onto the pier and entered the island one by one, but there was not a trace of fog on the island, which Megan was very unaccustomed to. The doctor looked at the pocket watch again at this time, and the number had already pointed to "4". And as Megan, who was the only one who knew the way, led the two into the forest path connecting the pier and Green Lake town, the hand jumped directly to "5".
The building was brightly lit, as if a grand banquet was about to be held here, but in reality, there was no one. Mr. Soren Green trembled even more violently. His own dream had completely scared himself. To him, the house seemed even more terrifying than the gloomy island. Xia De and Edwards had said that the passage to the blood-red door was in the basement, and the witches had already explained the location of the basement. Finding the door to the basement was not difficult, but when the three faced the white iron door, Megan didn't open it immediately but looked at the doctor.
Walking through the town, although Megan and the doctor were both very sure that there would be no residents in this dream, they both had the feeling of being watched. The hand of the pocket watch in his hand continued to rotate clockwise slowly. When they passed through the town and came to the road leading to the Soren-Gertz mansion on the hillside, the number had reached "8".
This part of the mural probably recorded the content of the eldest son of the third generation being forced to undergo experiments with immortality medicine.
Mr. Soren Green had begun to tremble all over. His instinct was making him resist moving forward, and in the end, he could only be supported by Doctor Schneider to move forward. Megan was a bit worried about this, but since the doctor was still confident, he wouldn't give up the plan just like that.
"A bit thirsty, I want to get some water from the well."
He whispered a sentence in Mr. Xia De's ear, and the latter nodded heavily, saying to the stone slab:
The doctor showed him the pocket watch in his hand. The hand was shaking crazily as if it had Parkinson's, and it no longer had reference significance:
The father of the Xia De siblings, the old ghoul Nicholas Xia De, had said that the eldest son of the third generation, the early-dying Envy Soren-Gertz, actually didn't die at all, but had been kept in captivity by the "ancestor" in the secret room under the well since childhood, undergoing various experiments with immortality medicine, and even lived to this day.
Gradually, the Soren-Gertz mansion in the night rain appeared at a higher place. The first thing seen of the mansion in the rain was the light in every window, but the overly dazzling light made it impossible to see the interior of the building clearly.
The group of three said nothing. Under Megan's lead, they got closer and closer to the mansion until they were blocked by the fence outside the mansion.
"This is where grandmother and the others once lived..."
"Still 8."
He picked up a stone and threw it down the well, and then imagined a glowing spell in the dream, activated it, and threw it into the well mouth. Seeing that the well was not deep, Megan turned into a red butterfly and flew in first, and the doctor pulled Mr. Soren Green closely behind.
The night in the dream became thicker, but there was no thick fog in the town in this dream, so he could barely see the surrounding scenery clearly. The owner of the dream was not in a good state, and the psychological suggestion of the dream to him made the dream slide toward a weird and gloomy slope.
In the drizzling rain, Megan, who was walking in front, even felt that he wouldn't be surprised even if a dozen evil spirits crawled out in front of him.
"I am Soren Xia De, the grandson of Maria Soren-Gertz. I want to come back and take a look."
As for the mural on the upper left of the head, it became a bit abstract. It depicted the humanoid object on the right, passing through doors one by one. And as the humanoid did so, the lines depicting him gradually became lighter and were not continuous.
The secret room was quite large, at least three times the size of Xia De's bedroom. Unlike the sticky and damp bottom of the well, the secret room under the well, separated by a wall, was damp, but there was a stench and the smell of urine.
Megan didn't know what this meant, so he carefully recorded these murals, while the doctor tried to find another exit to this secret room, but failed.
The bottom of the well was almost dry, sticky and slippery, and there was a strange smell, but the area was quite large. After they each lit up their light, Megan and the doctor just looked around and then directed Mr. Soren Xia De to say:
Except for the entrance they just entered, there was only a small opening for ventilation and air exchange, which could probably only allow Little Mia or a large mouse to pass through. As for how Envy Soren-Gertz, the eldest son of the third generation living here, obtained food, it was probably only known to the people on the island. ===== CHAPTER 1783 =====
The well was not yet nearly dry; the bottom was sticky and slippery, and there was a strange smell, though the area was quite small. After we each lit up our lights, Megan and the doctor just took a look around, then directed Mr. Solon Xia De, saying:
Except for the entrance we just entered through, there were only small openings for ventilation and air exchange, which could probably only allow Little Mia or a small mouse to pass through. As for how the third-generation eldest son, Enwei Solongerzi, who lived here, obtained food, probably only the people on the island would know.
