As if the water suddenly emerged from under the dark lake, Shade suddenly opened his eyes, and then he suddenly sat up from the bed while coughing due to the dust.
"Damn it, hasn't this place been cleaned in hundreds of years?"
There is almost no light in the room, with only a slight light from the gas lamp peeking out from the crack of the door. The air is extremely cold, and there is almost the smell of moldy dust everywhere. This damp, cold and dilapidated environment caused by being uninhabited for many years is much worse than Penta
The lighthouse on the island in the middle of Lake Nar was even more amazing. Shade even wondered if he had slept in a cemetery.
"Silver Moon."
The gradually brightening golden spots on his body illuminated the bed beneath him, and the moonlight at his fingertips illuminated the entire room. When he saw the entire room, Shade's eyes widened slightly.
This is actually the master bedroom of Room 1 on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square where he fell asleep in reality. The evidence lies in the decoration and furniture of the room.
It's just that compared to the bedroom that has been renovated and the furniture changed in reality, the layout of the room in the dream at this moment is actually exactly the same as the layout of Detective Sparrow's room before he died when he came to this world. Even this bed is
The bed where Detective Sparrow died.
At this time, most of the furniture in the room was covered with white cloth, and Shade also sat up from the white cloth on the bed. But in the same position in reality, the atmosphere was completely different.
Jumping out of bed, he touched the white cloth and felt a thick layer of dust. The blackened floor was filled with dust as his feet landed on the ground. He pulled off the white cloth on the bookshelf and saw a metal pot and black and white
photo frame.
These furnishings are exactly the furnishings of the master bedroom where Detective Sparrow lived before his death. Everything is almost exactly the same as in Shade's memory.
"I'm sure this is definitely not my dream, but how could these things be present in Luvia's dream? I have never described the details of this bedroom to others."
【Perhaps, you can look at other places.】
"She" whispered softly in Shade's ear. Even in the dream, "she" was still with Shade.
In addition to dust and white cloth, the difference between this place and the bedroom in my memory is that the windows are completely sealed with layers of wooden boards, which is why there is almost no light in the room. And this way of blocking the windows, Shade
It has only been seen in mental hospitals of this era or in buildings with outbreaks of disease.
"Although I predicted in advance that Luvia's dream would be special, it turned out to be like this."
He approached the window, and the moonlight illuminated the wall with his fingertips, allowing him to see gray-green moss-like traces on the wall. The No. 6 Saint Teresa Square in this dream was completely ruined. Even if he knew that this was a dream
, but as the owner of this house, a foreigner who regards this place as his only home, his feelings at this moment are also quite complicated.
After confirming that there were no other noteworthy details in the bedroom, Shade opened the door and walked out of the room. Then he frowned and saw the layout of the living room, which was also the layout of the detective agency in Sparrow's era.
All the furniture was covered with white cloth, and only the sofa and coffee table showed signs of use. All the windows that could be seen were still completely nailed from the inside with layers of wooden boards. The living room was repaired due to the arrival of winter in reality.
The fireplace is also completely in its original abandoned state.
There is only one gas lamp on the wall, and the flame of the gas lamp is unusually weak. This is not only because there is insufficient gas in the gas pipe, but also because the lampshade seems to have not been wiped for hundreds of years. The living room is also cold and damp, not to mention
The feeling of warm home where Shade and Mia lived was no different from any imaginable haunted house in urban legends.
In the dim light, Shade came to the wall next to the fireplace, frowned and looked at the traces of gray-green moss, and then tried to push it, but could not find the secret door leading to Room 2, and that door
The secret door was also made during renovation:
"It is indeed the layout of the detective agency during Detective Sparrow's time. It seems that after Detective Sparrow's death, this place was completely abandoned and no one was using it. After the church recovered and inspected the dangerous houses, it sealed it up
Already."
Suddenly he turned his head and looked behind him, and in the faint light, he looked at another door:
"If Detective Sparrow dies and no one inherits this house, then 'my' bedroom"
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the side bed, where the original owner had lived when Detective Sparrow was still alive. The door was not locked, but after opening the door, he saw that there was a utility room with all kinds of messes piled up there.
old furniture and sundries, of course, they were also covered with white cloth.
Shade entered the room and pulled off the white cloth, confirming that there was no bed where the bed was. It was indeed being used as a utility room, and it was definitely not the bedroom it once was.
"Everything is the same as before, except for the room where 'I' live, and there is no trace of 'I'."
If it were not a dream at this time, then this scene would be a bit too scary. The level of interest in Luvia's dream far exceeded Shade's expectations. He stood at the door to his side and thought for a moment, then gently closed the door.
.I thought I could test it out to see where the boundary of this dream is.
"Meow~"
The dilapidated haunted house was originally silent, but at this moment, a cat meowed suddenly, and the meow was extremely familiar.
Shade hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door of Room 1. After opening the door, the corridor and stairs were filled with oppressive, strange and terrifying darkness.
From the darkness downstairs, the orange and white cat jumped up. The cat ignored Shade standing at the door and continued to run towards the third floor.
"Mia?"
Of course, cats are just creatures in dreams. The real cat is still in the closet and has no direct contact with Shade. This dream belongs to Luvia alone.
Shade raised his right hand slightly and illuminated the stairs from the second floor to the third floor. Just as he thought, the broken stairs that were repaired by the church after he came to this world were certainly not in reality at this time.
It has been repaired. Someone got a bunch of door panels from somewhere and forcibly glued those door panels together to connect the second and third floors.
The splicing of those door panels was extremely sloppy. If Shade saw it correctly, it was the effect of the spell [Adhesive Technique]. He also knew this basic spell.
Stepping on the door panel stairs to reach the third floor, the third floor is what it looked like before it was repaired. There are mold spots everywhere, and there is not even a gas lamp on the wall. The door panels of the two rooms on the third floor are missing, and Xia De suspects that they were there just now.
Inside the door panel, all the windows in the room were sealed, making the dark hole look extremely weird.
Although the cat that ran upstairs has disappeared, there are still cat paw prints on the dust on the ground. Following the paw prints to the stairs leading from the corridor to the attic, Shade stepped on the creaking steps in the dark.
Old stairs climb to the attic.
The rituals of "Moonlight Water" and "Sun Fire" were not seen in the attic, and the accumulated debris was covered with white cloth. I looked around and still didn't see the cat, but there was an extra creature on the east side of the attic.
There was a rusty metal triangular ladder, and above the attic, a small door that could only allow one person to pass through was opened.
The roofs of the houses around St. Teresa Square are covered with tiles and are tilted, so residents are not allowed to move around on the roofs or dry their clothes. In reality, Shade only climbed up the roof when the house was being repaired.
Give it a thumbs up and check the waterproofing layer.
Normally, an extra ladder is needed to go from the attic to the roof. But in reality, in order to prevent the naughty cat from running up and falling off the roof, not only has the ladder at home been put away long ago, but the square shape of the attic roof
The small door was also locked by Shade.
"Louvia, are you on the roof now? Why is there Mia in this dream? Luvia, like Lesia, has plans for Mia?"
He came to the side of the triangular ladder and looked up. From the square hole, he could see a strange dim yellow sky that looked like an oil painting. It seemed that the outside world in the dream was as abnormal as the house.
After hesitating for a moment, Shade held on to the ladder and climbed up. Only after his head emerged from the roof did he finally see the full picture of this strange world in his dream.
In the dim yellow sky, countless fragmented building debris and corpses are floating. The sun in the distance is still suspended in the sky, but the sun is actually black, surrounded by white edges and a red halo. And the black sun
The sun is like the entrance of a hole, flowing a fiery red line downwards.
The world seemed to have turned yellowish brown, and the wind and sand covered most of the city. The gravel was fluttering in the wind, and even the tiles on the roof were covered with a layer of fine sand. I originally thought that only the house was as cold and damp as a haunted house.
After we went outside, we found that the temperature had become even colder.
Shade climbed completely from the attic to the roof and stood up to look at the city of Tobesk. The once prosperous "Pearl of the North" now seemed to have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes. One-third of the buildings in the city area that caught the eye were severely damaged.
, the remaining buildings are also full of traces of dilapidation. If the roads are not blocked by collapsed buildings or sand piles, they are also full of garbage and debris. Occasionally, you can see pedestrians wrapped in robes and hunched over in the alley.
flashed by.
Farther away, the western part of the city seemed to have been hit by a giant meteorite, leaving a deep, smoking crater, with black smoke rising toward the terrifying dim yellow sky. In the northeastern part of the city, wriggling tentacles appeared.
The smoke was dancing towards the sky, but if you looked closely, it seemed that it was just a few wisps of black smoke in the wind.
And at a very high altitude, surrounded by countless garbage and corpses, a building like a giant floating island floated there silently. The island was wrapped in a storm, and dark electric light flashed in the storm.
Compared with everything around it, St. Teresa's Square can even be regarded as the place with the best architectural integrity, and it is the only refuge in this doomsday dream.
PS: Modify one detail. In Chapter 1143, the time key given to Shade by Mr. Edmund was changed from "This is the time key of 3037 years of the Fifth Era" to "This is the time key of the middle of the Fifth Era".
