You were so lost in your confusion after reading that headline , you stopped thinking what was happening around you . You were brought back to the reality by a knock on your carriage .

The hotel is really gigantic and it's entrance is beautifully decorated with flowers . The lobby is so huge with the reception desk and there beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling . There is a grand staircase to the left of the reception desk which leads to the rooms . The hotel has a kitchen right to the reception desk and there's a little room entrance behind the reception . Alfred takes you inside the little room . The room has a green paint on it's walls and had a white concrete floor . There was a desk in the middle with the name plate of Alfred on it . The room also contains many cabinets and lockers which you assume are full of documents , clothes , etc . " This is my office . You can find me here most of the time during a day . " Alfred says as he hands your room keys . Before leaving you ask him , " Alfred , I read about some midnight murderer in the newspaper . Can you tell me more about him ?" .

" The Midnight Murderer is the nickname given to the serial killer Thomas Bridgett , the 13th Mayor of the Misville Town . He killed more than hundred people . Rumors have it that he transformed into a large man with a deformed face whenever he was out on he hunt but it was later found out that he actually wore a mask . He used an axe to murder people during the night . He was shot dead by the sheriff of the town . His axe was never found but his mask is preserved in The Central Museum of Misville .

You reach the central museum by an hour because it was hard to find the way without getting lost in a strange town . The museum is magnificent but you need to focus on the mask . You ask the staff and fin it soon . The mask is placed inside a glass case which is really hard . The mask really reminds you of your nightmares from the train . The mask is the exact same looking , the same deformed face and scars but something feels off . Suddenly you notice a little hole just under the name plate . It is really small but a twig might get inside . You rush and get a twig small enough to get inside that hole . You find a matching twig and insert it in the hole and suddenly the name plate starts to shake a little and it slides to the left .
