Whispering Poems

Chapter 1829
The sound of water splashing, raindrops falling into the lake caused circles of ripples.The damp, earthy air turned into a fishy damp, and the feeling of standing on a swaying boat was completely different from that of standing on flat ground.

"It's amazing!"

Mr. Green said in surprise, opened his umbrella and looked around:
"We're in the lake in one go!"

The doctor shook his head, and like Xia De, he took out the pocket watch with only one pointer and took a look. At this time, the pointer had already pointed to the number "3":
"A slight force has invaded this dream, but there is no need to pay attention to it. Detective, you are right, there is something wrong with Edwards' bloodline. As long as they approach the island in their dreams, the dream will connect with reality."

"Will it affect the plan?"

"It's hard to say, but I've made a lot of backup plans."

He put away the umbrella in the rain like this, and then tapped the side of the boat with the head of the umbrella—boom, boom, boom.Three sounds fell, the pouring rain stopped abruptly, and the moisture on the three of them evaporated quickly.

Although the overhead is still cloudy and the surrounding water is still heavy, it is at least much better than rain.

The boat in the dream sailed silently into the dense fog. It seemed that only half a minute later, Xia De saw the small pier in the fog.Mr. Soren Green obviously has never been to this island, but the pier in his dream is clearly the same as in the real world, which proves once again the relationship between Edwards' bloodline and this island.

After the ship landed, the three stepped onto the pier one by one to enter the island, but there was not even a single trace of fog on the island, and Xia De was not used to it.The doctor looked at the pocket watch again at this time, and the number had already pointed to "4".And as Xia De, the only one who knew the way, led the two into the forest path connecting the pier and Green Lake Town, the pointer jumped directly to "5".

The doctor didn't say anything, just let Xia De lead the way, and he and the curious Mr. Green walked behind.

Just like the last time Shade entered the dreamland of Megan and Audrey, the dream about this island was so dark and gloomy. Although there were no monsters haunting it, the silence in the silence was even deeper and more frightening.

In the abandoned town of Green Lake, several houses were lit for unknown reasons.The rain that was stopped by the doctor also appeared again with a patter of rain as they entered the island.Walking through the forest and entering the town, the number on the pocket watch jumped from "5" to "7". The sound of barking dogs in the distance startled all three of them, and the three moons in the night sky became darker and darker.

"This is where my grandmother used to live"

Surprised in fear, Mr. Soren Green didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

Walking through the town, both Xia De and the doctor were very sure that there would be no residents in this dream, but they all had the feeling of being spied upon.The hands of the pocket watch continued to slowly turn clockwise. When they passed through the town and came to the road leading to the Edwards mansion on the hillside, the number had reached "8".

The night in the dream is getting thicker and thicker, but there is no dense fog in the town in the dream, so I can barely see some of the surrounding scenery clearly.The owner of the dream is not in a good state, and the dream's psychological hints to him make the dream slide down a weird and gloomy slope.

In the pattering rain, Xia De, who was walking ahead, even felt that he would not be surprised even if a dozen evil spirits appeared in front of him now.

Mr. Soren Green had already started to tremble all over his body, his instinct was making him resist going forward, and in the end he had to be supported by Dr. Schneider.Xia De was a little worried about this, but since the doctor still had confidence, he wouldn't just give up on the plan.

Gradually, the Edwards Mansion in the night rain appeared higher up.The first thing to see the mansion in the rain is the lights in every window, but the too dazzling lights make it impossible to see clearly the interior of the building.

In such a gloomy environment, the house with lights in the middle of the deserted island in the rain should not be entered rashly.

The three of them didn't speak, and under the leadership of Xia De, they got closer and closer to the house until they were blocked by the fence outside the mansion.

Xia De also encountered this situation in Megan and Audrey's dream last time, so he turned his head and said to Mr. Soren Green:

"Just call the door and tell me who you are."

The trembling man was supported by Dr. Schneider, and he deliberated for a while before he opened his mouth and said:

"I'm Soren Green, the grandson of Maria Edwards, and I want to come back and have a look."

squeak~
The fence gate opened automatically, and the three walked in one by one.However, Shad did not lead them directly into the building, but motioned the doctor to look at the pocket watch.

"Still 8."

The doctor's voice was calm:

"At this number, it is already certain that there are other things mixed in this dream."

"Don't enter the door yet, I want to go here and have a look."

Xia De pointed to the well in the southeast of the yard. At this time, the well was covered by a big stone, and there were buckets and well ropes on the stone.

The father of the Green brothers and sisters, the old ghoul Nicholas Green, said that the eldest son of the three generations, Envi Edwards, who died young, was not dead at all, but was kept in a secret room under the well by the "ancestors" since he was a child. Experiments with various elixirs have even survived to the present.

Now in this dream mixed with strange power, there is a high probability that there will be no living dead.But if all the terrain and architectural structures on the island correspond to reality, then there should be a secret room down the well.

He confided his thoughts to the doctor and Mr. Thoren Green, without directly mentioning the source of the information in the dream, of course.The doctor also agreed with Shad's exploration plan:

"This dream is very weird. Walking around will help me understand this dream better."

Of course, they would not be so stupid as to go down the well alone while the others waited on the ground, but planned to go down together.It's just that the big stone slab covering the mouth of the well seemed to grow together with the whole well, and Xia De couldn't move it no matter what.I wanted to raise my hand and use "fossils into mud" to melt the slate directly, but was stopped by the doctor:

"Be more cautious."

He whispered something in Mr. Green's ear, and the latter nodded slightly, and said to the slate:
"I'm thirsty and I want to get some water from the well."

Xia De tried again, and the slate was easily moved.

He picked up a stone and threw it down the well, and then imagined a luminous charm in his dream, activated it and threw it into the wellhead.Seeing that the well was not deep, Xia De turned into a red butterfly and flew in first, followed by the doctor pulling Mr. Soren Green.

The underground well has almost dried up, the bottom is sticky and slippery, and there is a strange smell, but the area is quite large.After they lighted up their own lights, Xia De and the doctor just looked around, and then directed Mr. Soren Green to say:

"Look, why is there a crack on this stone wall? Could there be a secret door here?"

There was a keyhole in the wall, but no one knew where the key was.So Xia De used the "door key" a little bit, and the door of the secret room was pushed open.What was shown to the three behind the door was a room similar to an alchemy workshop.

The size of the Chamber of Secrets is quite large, at least three times the size of Shard's bedroom.Unlike the sticky and slippery bottom of the well, the underground secret room separated by a wall is still dark, but the air is dry, but there is a smell of smell and urine.

There is a bed and a small table in the corner, and there are only bookshelves and a test bench.Of course there is no one here, and when you open those books, there are only blank pages inside.But when Xia De raised his right hand high, the moonlight from his fingertips immediately illuminated the densely packed 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 are there stones suspected to refer to the Philosopher's Stone, but the humanoid object even ate what looked like a child.Both the doctor and Mr. Thoren Green were astonished, but Shad corrected them:
"It may be a relic derivative called 'baby fruit'. The relic body is a 'longevity tree', which can only produce fruit when the era changes."

This part of the mural probably records the contents of the three-generation eldest son who was forced to experiment with the elixir of youth.

As for the mural on the right above the head, it becomes somewhat abstract.There are depicted humanoids on the left, passing through doors.And as the figure does so, the lines depicting him gradually become shallower and less coherent.

Xia De didn't know what this meant, so he carefully wrote down the murals, while the doctor tried to find another exit from the secret room, but failed.

Except for the entrance just now, there are only small openings for ventilation and ventilation, and probably only allow Mia or the big mouse to pass through.As for how the eldest son of the third generation, Envi Edwards, who lives here, obtains food, probably only the people on the island know.

They didn't stay in the well for too long, and soon returned to the ground, and then led by Shad, they pushed open the gate of Edwards' old house.

The building was brightly lit, as if a grand banquet was going to be held here, but in reality there was no one there.Mr. Thorn Green trembled still more, for his own dreams had completely frightened him, and the house seemed to him more terrifying than the gloomy 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 also been explained by the witches.Finding the door to the basement was not complicated, but when the three faced the black iron door, Xia De didn't open it immediately, but looked at the doctor.

The doctor showed him the pocket watch in his hand. The pointer was shaking like crazy with Parkinson's, and it was no longer of reference value:

"Behind the door should be the target. Remember the plan?"
