“Yawn…”

Owen, with heavy bags under his eyes, yawned, “You know… my usual life is very boring, I don’t like to go out, I have no interest in hunting or parties at the salon…”

“No… I didn’t know.”

Su Lu calmly replied.

“Well… what I wanted to say was…” Owen seemed to find it hard to speak, “I like reading and have done a little study on ancient texts… After Old Mad, the previous tenant of your apartment, passed away, I found some interesting texts among his belongings… Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t embezzle any of the tenant’s property, I only copied some of it, all the effects have been handed over to the police station…”

“Some of the descriptions and the mysteries involved in them are very interesting… So, I… I tried them…”

Owen said: “Recently… I found that I have the same nightmare every night, which has greatly affected the quality of my sleep…”

‘Old Mad was a Mysterious Person? But… considering him filling the garden with wormwood, it’s not impossible…’

Su Lu stroked his chin.

As for why Owen didn’t 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.

‘What’s more… 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 himself…’

‘Besides… if it’s just a nightmare, The Eleventh Bureau might not accept it.’

Su Lu crossed his fingers, having understood the cause and effect, and said to the expectant Owen: “I need to look at the copy you mentioned… And, please describe your dream to me in detail!”

“No problem!”

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.

“This… the grammar is too chaotic…”

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.

“I also found it strange… but it’s not a problem with my copying, I’ve checked it over and over, they’re exactly the same as the originals.”

Owen sighed and replied.

“Then… please continue to describe your nightmare…”

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.

‘Because this knowledge is too fragmented… It should be the content he has been acquiring and summing up throughout his life… all in all, if it wasn’t for his old age and physical condition, he might have had the opportunity to become a true Transcendent, and master Mysterious power…’

‘The 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 existences…’

As Su Lu maintained a listening posture and thought silently, Owen’s description continued to reach his ears:

“I… I only saw some sporadic fragments…”

“There was an ancient well in the shape of a square, right in my garden…”

“I dove headfirst into it wearing a retro outfit, amidst the sound of music…”

“Loneliness, cold, and death were embracing me…”

“After that, I woke up… but this dream continued for a long time…”

There was a confused expression on Owen’s face, as he spoke dreamily.

Su Lu had no inspiration, and he couldn’t find any revenants in the villa. Owen himself was clean as well.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Perhaps… this is just a dream, representing some kind of revelation… you falling into a dry well, accompanied by loneliness and cold, means you may soon fall into some trouble that you’ll need to face with courage…”

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, “So… is there an ancient well in your garden?”

“No! There’s never been anything like that in my garden, we can go take a look!”

Owen got up and led Su Lu through the living room.

“So… is it just you living here?”

Su Lu looked at the empty villa and asked curiously.

“Yes, my father prefers to live in the city center, and there are some relatives, but they seem… scared of me! No… Perhaps not scared, but how to say it? Too respectful? It’s a bit uncomfortable…”

Owen replied casually.

“Woof woof!”

In the corridor, Hallock was running around excitedly, barking at a row of oil paintings.

“These… 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 city’s construction…”

Owen introduced with a touch of pride.

“This one is my great-grandfather, Johnny Dougweir, he was a councillor of this city and pushed for the construction of the landmark lighthouse…”

“The one next to him, is my great-great-grandfather, Ernest Dougweir! A great literary man, you might have read his works…”

“And on the far left, are Big Owen and Little Owen, they were involved in the building of Lore City…”

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, “I planted these myself, if you came in June or July, you could taste them.”

“There’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Su Lu responded with a smile, inspected the entire garden, along with the gardener, the gardener’s helper, the maid, and others.

The final conclusion was… everyone was clean!

“Please be assured, having nightmares is not a big deal… I need to go back to look up some relevant information, can these copies be taken back for research?”

Su Lu asked.

“Feel free… I really don’t want to see them anymore. I’ll have Jindum send you back… Sorry… I’m not in a good state, I won’t invite you for lunch.”

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 Lu’s heart sink a little.
