After robbing the tomb, he left the island with us, taking with him the collected notebooks, the inscriptions on rubbings and a small number of burial objects. Those finger bones were secretly hidden by us. He was a man in his forties.

In appearance, wearing glasses, he looks like a writer or university professor."

According to Megan, the other party was just a low-level warlock, and Shade didn't know what his abilities were.

"Other than that, don't remember anything?"

The man shook his head and couldn't say anything. Shade, who frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then took out the pen he picked up from the bottom of the lake:

"Do you recognize this pen and this name - Durut Giles?"

The man finally showed a surprised look this time:

"Yes, yes, that's the name of the guy who hired us to land on the island and had strange abilities. I remember that he did have a very expensive pen on him, but I haven't touched it, so I'm not sure if it's this one.

.....I remembered it, it was a very fond memory!"

He covered his head and his face became paler, but part of his memory was indeed reviving:

"When we escaped from the island by boat, it was a dark night with heavy rain. There were monsters under Green Lake at that time! Yes, my God, how could I forget this! There were monsters under Green Lake, and they attacked us.

Originally three boats escaped, but when they returned to the shore, only two boats were left!"

In this way, the corpses, ores and pens that Shade found in the water ghost's lair were all belonging to this group of tomb robbers. The pen may have been lost by the low-level warlock.

However, the information provided by the man sitting on the bed could only indicate that the water ghost in Green Lake might be related to the island, but it still could not provide more precise clues about the owner of the pen, Durut Giles.

Shade asked questions in some different ways, but the information the man could provide was very limited. In the final silence, Shade suddenly asked:

"Describe your nightmare. Don't use fancy words to exaggerate the atmosphere. Just tell me what happened."

"Sir, look at me, do I look like someone who can use very sophisticated vocabulary?"

The tomb robber smiled bitterly, and then described those terrible dreams:

"All the dreams happened on that island, as if we had never left there. The sky was full of fog, the monsters rushed out of the fog, and the laughter of babies. Sir, you can imagine what it is like in the dark night.

In the fog, all the horrific scenes that humans can imagine appeared in our dreams. I have communicated with my companions and we all have similar dreams. This must be caused by our tomb robbing."

Shade didn't ask them why they didn't go to the church for help. He thought of another thing:

"Do you know whose tomb you robbed?"

"There were tombstones in that strange cemetery, but it was a dark night and foggy. I only knew it was the baby of the Edwards family who died young, but I didn't know who it was."

Shade frowned slightly:

"So...when you opened the coffin, did you see the ghost of the baby?"

Shade and Megan came into contact with three corpses when they landed on the island for the second time, and the last one did not show its soul. This is probably because they were not the first contacts, so the soul did not appear.

The man on the bed shook his head blankly:

"Sorry, I don't remember. I don't remember most of the things on the island. I only remember that it was very dangerous and there were monsters... But at least there should be no undead when I get home. I only have nightmares and headaches."

Shade nodded, and the time for Thaumaturgy to stay awake was almost up. Seeing Shade getting up, the man begged and said:

"Sir, what you just said..."

"I will leave a sum of money for your wife and children. But I won't give it to you. Someone will donate it after a while."

The man let out a long sigh and retreated into the quilt. After a while, the look in his eyes faded, and he began to tremble unconsciously again. Shade frowned and looked at him, and suddenly said:

"The corpse water ghost with a fish head and human body."

The man's trembling became more serious.

"So, here are three clues: the dead tomb robber Harder Ferrero who took away the bone fragments, the owner of the pen, Durut Gilles, and the water ghost are related to the central island."

Shade was thinking in his mind and walked out of the house. Seeing the washerwoman looking at him, he shook his head;

"Sorry, but it looks really hopeless."

As he spoke, he walked towards the woman, took out a stack of five-pound banknotes from his pocket, and stuffed them into the woman's hands. When he saw that the two children were not here, he reminded:

"When he dies, let's give him a decent funeral. He dug other people's graves during his lifetime, and he hopes they won't be dug up by others after his death."

Hearing what Shade said, the woman looked very panicked. But Shade didn't say anything more and walked out of the yard. As for promising to give the woman a sum of money, he couldn't give it now, but planned to see Megan next time.

Let her help through the name of Paradise Island Pharmaceutical. Or, after Yin Luna comes to the local area, it would be good to use the name of the church.

Returning to Pudding Lane, Shade put his hands in his pockets and looked towards the mist-shrouded river bank, wondering whether he should go to Riverbank Street and then take a carriage. He turned around and walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley, and turned left at the entrance.

The figure disappeared. In the slightly empty alley, five or six minutes later, from the direction where Shade came from, Bad-eyed Barry wearing an eyepatch came over with two of his rude-looking men.

Barry stood at the door, and two of his men entered the yard. One of them talked fiercely to the woman, and the other entered the house to check the man's condition. They quickly finished asking questions and told the one-eyed man the situation.

He shook his head regretfully, and then the three of them left together.

On the rooftop opposite, the silver cat saw all this in the fog:

"Sure enough, it happened. When the tomb robbers escaped two years ago, they were attacked by a water ghost in the lake. It seems that it may really be related to Bad-Eyed Barry. Is he a collaborator of a hidden existence on the central island of Green Lake? Or maybe

, are you also coveting the things that the tomb robbers took away from the island?"

【Compared to this, there is actually another question.】

"She" suddenly said in the cat's ear.

"What?"

[Didn’t you say that you can’t easily turn into a cat? 】

"Well...now the girls are not with me, and Mia is not here either, what should I be afraid of?"
