A "House of the Murmurers", a manor house inhabited by the Infernal Beasts, is also the destination of the trio's trip.

"Blackstone Bay is the site of rune obsidian, and if something goes into trouble here, it will also affect Nightmare Town, so it is imperative to clean up the Infernal Beasts......"

Cheng An also explained to Luo Yue what they were doing this time.

"The time limit of the Blood Hourglass is about three days, so we don't need to be in a hurry, the place to play the task in the nightmare world, the place to use the brain, is far larger than the direction of using brute force, this 'House of the Murmurers' Judging from the information I have collected before, this manor actually belongs to a gathering place for cultists of the Esoteric Sect......"

The three of them stepped into the "House of the Murmurers", and the more cautious they became, and they saw that the old manor was surprisingly large, so they did not disperse.

As soon as you enter the gate of the estate, you are greeted by a rose garden, but unfortunately, all the roses have withered.

Twilight clouds hung low in the sky, hanging over the gloomy mansion with the blood-red moonlight...... The gray walls, the decaying rose garden, the headless statues, and the silted pools all show the manor's former glory.

"The cultist of the Esoteric Cult is called 'Skin-Abominator', and according to the library of the town hall in Nightmare Town, their doctrine is that the inner part of man is perfect and full of true beauty, and that human skin makes this 'beauty' blocked, and it is a mistake for people to focus on their outer skin and not on their inner self......"

"Because the external things are false, no matter how beautiful a woman is, the beauty of her appearance does not mean that she is equally beautiful on the inside. The inner things are covered up because of the human skin, and people only value the outside and ignore the beautiful inner self. ”

"Skin-haters believe that only by peeling off their own skin can they release their true self, and the creatures who peel off their skin look unusually ugly, but ugliness is not divided between upper and lower, which is also an inner beauty, so the main doctrine and ritual means of this cult is to peel off their own skin and release their true self, and of course, they often 'help' others to do so......"

Listening to Cheng An's words, even the calm Luo Yue felt that the temperature around him was getting colder and colder, and the cold air that came to his face invaded his body like a foreign body, taking away his body temperature.

She wrapped her trench coat tightly to protect against the low temperature of the night, and at the same time, she secretly wondered if such a real feeling could really be a dream. Because all this is too real, there is a kind of unreality everywhere.

Luo Yue has naturally heard of "clear dreams", which is in a certain state of sleep, when dreaming, he can realize that he is dreaming, and the dream is also unusually clear and intuitive.

However, in this case, it is as if I am not experiencing a dream, but actually experiencing everything in front of me in another world.

She and the three of them crossed the tree-lined road to the mansion's hall, where baroque doorposts were carved with statues beyond recognition, and when the three pushed open the door, they were greeted by a tall, spacious hall.

The floor under your feet is made of mahogany, your feet are very stocky when you step on it, and the heels of your shoes make a "clicking" sound on them, and the furniture, structure, and decoration seem to be in the style of the mid-to-late 18th century, leaning towards the architectural style of the Georgian era.

"It's so dusty, and there are a lot of cobwebs, how long has it been since no one has been to this place?"

Luke covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and waved his leather-gloved hand to pull open the cobwebs.

"The House of the Whisperers has been sealed down in the past, because of the cult rituals held here, and the 'Order of the Skin-Abominers' has taken people away from the neighborhood and created skinless people, so it has caused public outrage, and everyone, including the original owner of the manor, has been caught and lynched by the nearby people, and burned to death......

Cheng An held a lantern in one hand and found the candlestick from the fireplace with the other. He lit two candlesticks and gave them to each of them.

"After nightfall, some troublesome creatures will inevitably appear in this kind of place, although the firelight is not useful for purgatory, but it is still more useful for ordinary 'nocturnal creatures'?"

"Ordinary nocturnal creatures? What does this mean? ”

"It's ghosts, ghosts, and the like, and they pop up occasionally, but apart from scaring people, there's not much danger......

Luke shrugged his shoulders and said not to make a fuss later, this is normal in nightmare worlds.

"I ...... I see. ”

Cheng An and Luke's behavior, she has always watched it, but Luo Yue didn't fully believe what they said, at most she believed about fifty percent, and she had to observe carefully whether they had ulterior motives next.

She moved around the living room, reaching out to find a touch on the wall, which was Cheng An's instructions, and he said that this kind of plot task is inevitably full of puzzle-solving elements, and it is necessary to use brain power to analyze the situation, so collecting clues and intelligence is the most important.

"It's ...... Mirror. ”

There was a mirror on the wall, she stretched out her hand to wipe the dusty mirror, and in an instant, her own face appeared on the mirror, but it was a frightening and inexplicable face, Luo Yue saw with his own eyes that the skin on his face was melting, and that face became a skeletal face covered with blood-colored muscle fibers, "it" grinned dismally, revealing a thrilling smile.

Luo Yue took a step back nervously, his expression changed rapidly, this abrupt scene, no one could remain calm.

"Miss Luo Yue, what's going on......"

The two who heard the movement quickly ran over.

"Mirror...... The mirror has quirkiness. ”

She emphasized, stretched out her hand to the mirror, and explained Fang Cai's situation again, and Cheng An and Luke also paid attention to it.

"There's no movement on the surface, let me go into the 'shallow hunting' mode and check it."

Luke frowned, he took a deep breath, his eyes were tightly closed, and in an instant, Luo Yue saw that Luke's body gradually faded, but only for a moment, he returned to his original state.

In the moment just now, something happened to Luke's body.

"There's something...... There's something behind the mirror.

Luke opened his eyes and reached for the mirror, and with a fuss, he pulled out a notebook from the wall behind the mirror.

"Strange, what was Luke doing just now?"

"You can really feel that it is a skill that all hunters can share, which is 'shallow hunting'."

A smile appeared at the corner of Cheng An's mouth: "Shallow hunting is a skill, its principle comes from this nightmare world, itself is composed of several layers of dreams of different depths, hunters can jump out of the existing dreams by concentrating, and dive into deeper dreams, the surface dreams are relatively stable, but because they are covered by different dreams, full of illusions and phantoms, you can't identify them through conventional means, at this time, you need shallow hunting skills, go deep into different dreams, to find out the truth......"
