Owen, with heavy bags under his eyes, yawned, āYou knowā¦ my usual life is very boring, I donāt like to go out, I have no interest in hunting or parties at the salonā¦ā
āNoā¦ I didnāt know.ā
Su Lu calmly replied.
āWellā¦ what I wanted to say wasā¦ā Owen seemed to find it hard to speak, āI like reading and have done a little study on ancient textsā¦ After Old Mad, the previous tenant of your apartment, passed away, I found some interesting texts among his belongingsā¦ Donāt get me wrong, I didnāt embezzle any of the tenantās property, I only copied some of it, all the effects have been handed over to the police stationā¦ā
āSome of the descriptions and the mysteries involved in them are very interestingā¦ So, Iā¦ I tried themā¦ā
Owen said: āRecentlyā¦ I found that I have the same nightmare every night, which has greatly affected the quality of my sleepā¦ā
āOld Mad was a Mysterious Person? Butā¦ considering him filling the garden with wormwood, itās not impossibleā¦ā
Su Lu stroked his chin.
As for why Owen didnāt go to the Goddess Church and The Eleventh Bureau? This was easy to understand.
After all, acquiring the property of dead tenants was not a pleasant matter, even if it was just a copy of some contents.
āWhatās moreā¦ this Owen is a bit like a child, the first thing he thinks about when he makes a mistake is how to hide it or solve it himselfā¦ā
āBesidesā¦ if itās just a nightmare, The Eleventh Bureau might not accept it.ā
Su Lu crossed his fingers, having understood the cause and effect, and said to the expectant Owen: āI need to look at the copy you mentionedā¦ And, please describe your dream to me in detail!ā
āNo problem!ā
Owen handed over a few notebooks.
As Su Lu opened one to look, he found the records on it to be quite chaotic.
There was Common Hebrew, Ancient Hebrew, even a few sentences in the Gulam Language, and some symbols that were completely illegible.
āThisā¦ the grammar is too chaoticā¦ā
He frowned.
If Ancient Hebrew is the common language of the Mysterious Realm, then the oldest language, Gulam, is very rare, and this language seems to be deeply involved with the Spirit World and the Ancient Snake Society.
āI also found it strangeā¦ but itās not a problem with my copying, Iāve checked it over and over, theyāre exactly the same as the originals.ā
Owen sighed and replied.
āThenā¦ please continue to describe your nightmareā¦ā
As Su Lu quickly flipped through the pages, he got a rough idea.
Although there was some knowledge of the mysteries on the copy, there were more errors.
It was more accurate to say that Old Mad was a fanatical lover of the mysteries, or even half a step into the door of the Transcendent, rather than an Occupational Person.
āBecause this knowledge is too fragmentedā¦ It should be the content he has been acquiring and summing up throughout his lifeā¦ all in all, if it wasnāt for his old age and physical condition, he might have had the opportunity to become a true Transcendent, and master Mysterious powerā¦ā
āThe only surprising thing is, he was able to come into contact with a portion of the Gulam Language content, which is most likely related to demons and other evil existencesā¦ā
As Su Lu maintained a listening posture and thought silently, Owenās description continued to reach his ears:
āIā¦ I only saw some sporadic fragmentsā¦ā
āThere was an ancient well in the shape of a square, right in my gardenā¦ā
āI dove headfirst into it wearing a retro outfit, amidst the sound of musicā¦ā
āLoneliness, cold, and death were embracing meā¦ā
āAfter that, I woke upā¦ but this dream continued for a long timeā¦ā
There was a confused expression on Owenās face, as he spoke dreamily.
Su Lu had no inspiration, and he couldnāt find any revenants in the villa. Owen himself was clean as well.
After thinking for a moment, he said, āPerhapsā¦ this is just a dream, representing some kind of revelationā¦ you falling into a dry well, accompanied by loneliness and cold, means you may soon fall into some trouble that youāll need to face with courageā¦ā
Of course, this could also be a ritual that connects you with an unknown existence, and is being watched by him, which is commonly known as the Death.
Su Lu added in his heart and asked, āSoā¦ is there an ancient well in your garden?ā
āNo! Thereās never been anything like that in my garden, we can go take a look!ā
Owen got up and led Su Lu through the living room.
āSoā¦ is it just you living here?ā
Su Lu looked at the empty villa and asked curiously.
āYes, my father prefers to live in the city center, and there are some relatives, but they seemā¦ scared of me! Noā¦ Perhaps not scared, but how to say it? Too respectful? Itās a bit uncomfortableā¦ā
Owen replied casually.
āWoof woof!ā
In the corridor, Hallock was running around excitedly, barking at a row of oil paintings.
āTheseā¦ are all the ancestors of our Dougweir family, the Dougweir family has been living on this land since before Lore City was built, our ancestors are said to have helped with the cityās constructionā¦ā
Owen introduced with a touch of pride.
āThis one is my great-grandfather, Johnny Dougweir, he was a councillor of this city and pushed for the construction of the landmark lighthouseā¦ā
āThe one next to him, is my great-great-grandfather, Ernest Dougweir! A great literary man, you might have read his worksā¦ā
āAnd on the far left, are Big Owen and Little Owen, they were involved in the building of Lore Cityā¦ā
As he spoke, Owen led Su Lu to the garden at the back of the villa.
This was a large flower garden, filled with common flowers like roses, tulips, lilies, and others, which were taken care of by a gardener.
On the edge of the flower garden, there were also some cherry tomatoes.
Owen said with a bit of regret, āI planted these myself, if you came in June or July, you could taste them.ā
āThereāll be plenty of opportunities in the future.ā
Su Lu responded with a smile, inspected the entire garden, along with the gardener, the gardenerās helper, the maid, and others.
The final conclusion wasā¦ everyone was clean!
āPlease be assured, having nightmares is not a big dealā¦ I need to go back to look up some relevant information, can these copies be taken back for research?ā
Su Lu asked.
āFeel freeā¦ I really donāt want to see them anymore. Iāll have Jindum send you backā¦ Sorryā¦ Iām not in a good state, I wonāt invite you for lunch.ā
Owen waved his hand.
Carrying the copies, Su Lu made a small bow, and left with Hallock.
At the entrance of the villa, Jindum was already waiting by the carriage.
Su Lu nodded, climbed into the carriage and looked at Hallock who jumped in.
The latter shook his dog face innocently, indicating that he had no gains at all.
This situation made Su Luās heart sink a little.
