This sudden change caught the three of them off guard, and none of them thought that the crystal would actually fly, after all, when McFlin showed it before, the crystal looked like an ordinary stone.

"Do you feel anything out of the ordinary?"

Qingfeng Bazooka and Tu Hongyu shook their heads, and the three of them pulled away their clothes slightly, and saw that the crystal was hanging under their necks, and the position of their sternum seemed to be embedded in flesh.

An Yizhi tried to buckle it off with his hand, and with his ass he knew that this thing was probably not a good thing, but no matter how hard he tried, the crystal didn't move, and he felt that unless he cut it with a knife, he didn't want to take it off.

"I feel like this thing is sucking my magic"

Although it was slight, slight enough to be negligible, An Yizhi still noticed it.

Because of the frequent use of the Book of Shields, An Yizhi knows more about the feeling of releasing magic than ordinary players, so he can detect it, while Tu Hongyu and Qingfeng Bazooka don't have this experience, so they don't find it.

The amount of absorption is very weak, although this copy is not allowed to use supernatural powers, but the total amount of Ann Yizhi's own magic power is still very large, and with the magic recovery speed brought by the dragon's heart, the amount of magic absorbed by the crystal can be said to be very small.

But no matter how tiny it is, this thing also brings a bad feeling to An Yizhi, and he shouldn't have to open the pocket watch if he knew it was like this.

Jumping out of the game plot, everything you get on the cruise ship may be the help given by the system, which does not mean that the system will not pit the player in this regard......

"What do we do now?"

Tu Hongyu asked.

An Yizhi thought for a moment:

"The crystal has no effect for the time being, we can only take one step at a time, let's go to the police station first, I want to ask Hughes again, maybe I can get any news from his mouth"

They only knew two people in the whole town, one was McFlin and the other was Hughes, who was arrested.

Compared to McFellin, Hughes probably knew something that the former didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have resisted the idea of returning home so much, even going so far as to kill someone.

The two nodded in agreement, they really didn't have a clue, and they didn't have as fast as An Yizhi's brain in this regard.

By the way, the three of them also exchanged information they had just gotten from the book.

Breeze Bazooka didn't care too much about the part he was looking at, most of them were complex and esoteric geological exploration reports, which roughly meant that there may be a very dense network of underground karst caves under the island, and the explorers felt that this small island originally had a volcano a long, long time ago, and the lava brought elements deep underground, and flowed through the cave, which is why a lot of gemstone ore and crystals were found in the cave.

And the part that Tu Hongyu watched was a little interesting.

The part he was reading was similar to a collection of folk tales, and according to the book, it was said that every 10 years or so, the god of the island would wake up temporarily, and an earthquake would occur on the island. The exact time is not particularly accurate, and it is related to the position of the stars.

In relation to the stars, Ann Yizhi feels more and more bad, because most of the evil gods in the Cthulhu mythos can be seen as aliens, and whether these guys appear or not is also closely related to the stars.

In addition, the book also gives a more detailed explanation of the crystals worn by the islanders.

The townspeople believe that the stones found in the graveyards of their ancestors will bring them good luck and that they will do more with less. This stone has incredible powers, as if it could fulfill the wishes of the wearer.

However, people who wear stones for a long time occasionally commit suicide due to insanity, and the book also says that every time they return home, there will always be a few residents who commit suicide inexplicably, and legend has it that they made too greedy wishes to their ancestors, which led to mental breakdowns.

It may be superstitious elsewhere, but on this island, it's likely that none of the above is just legend, it's 100% true!

In this way, it may explain why the mafia's daughter can take a fancy to a retired Navy soldier, because Crystal has granted his wish.

An Yizhi knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and the things that can see people's wishes are probably not good things, and the devils in the Nine Hells know this very well, and they rely on 'wishing grants' to fool mortals into obtaining souls.

The three of them exchanged information as they walked, and from the clues they had received so far, the crystals worn by the townspeople were something worth exploring, and in the absence of any news from the side quest target 'Mallory', it became their only option to follow this clue.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Coming to the police station near the port, An Yi pointed to the policeman on duty inside:

"We want to see Hughes who was sent yesterday, there's something we want to ask him"

I thought that the police would agree, after all, Hughes was caught by Ann, but the other party said mercilessly that no one should see the prisoner.

This made An Yizhi wonder.

Indeed, a murderer is indeed not something that any unrelated person can see casually, what if he runs away? Ke An pointed out that they were not unrelated people, and the policeman who was smiling yesterday had a smile on his face, why would his words be so tough today?

However, An Yizhi didn't force it, and it was not a good choice to conflict with the local snakes on the island at this time, especially under the premise that many things were not clear.

He left with a look of indignation on his face, unbeknownst to the police, who had taken a big turn outside and then circled around the back of the police station.

Recalling the location of the underground cell, the trio found a palm-high ventilation window with barbed wire. This is thanks to Qingfeng Bazooka's excellent positional memory, otherwise An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu don't know when they will find it.

Tu Hongyu and Qingfeng Bazooka went to both ends of the alley to stand guard to prevent anyone from discovering their movements. An Yizhi lay on the ground, reaching out to remove the rusty barbed wire.

The light shot out of the underground cell, right on Hughes's face as he lay on the flat bed.

An couldn't help but complain when he looked at his style as soon as he pointed his fingers, have you been played badly?

Hughes had empty eyes, his eyes staring at the ceiling without blinking, and if he hadn't seen his heaving chest still breathing, Ann would have almost thought the thing was already on his knees.

"Mr. Hughes?"

Whispering his name, the latter reacted a little, first blinking, then tilting his head to see An Yizhi coming out of the ventilation port.

"Oh, Great Detective"

He said mockingly, but at least he was more sober than when he was caught, and at least he could talk, instead of always yelling, 'I'm not going back!' ’。

"I have something I want to ask you"

"Whatever you want to ask, I'......"

Hughes said, he saw the crystal embedded under Ann's neck, and then changed his words:

"Haha, it turns out that you were also recruited"

He knew something!

"Mr. Hughes, you and I are both smart people, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you understand what I want to ask, say what you know, I can take you away"

When talking to this kind of enemy-like guy, you have to be straightforward about the quid pro quo, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve results.

"Take me away? Oh, Mr. An, you sent me in with your own hands, and now you say you can take me away? Do you think I'll believe it? ”

An Yizhi knew that if he wanted to get more information, he had to increase his chips, and he said:

"We came to this island to find someone called Mallory. Nelson's young man, who came to the island a month ago and then disappeared, and his father, who had committed suicide of a mental disorder a month earlier, and who had also been a resident of the island"

"Then you guys found out something strange about the island when you got to the island."

"If you're referring to sleepwalking in the middle of the night, then, yes"

"That's not sleepwalking, that's ......"

Hughes said this, but remained silent.

This thing is really difficult to deal with, and something has to be ruthless......

After thinking about it for a while, Ann pointed to this, and said:

"You already know our purpose, and I vaguely understand why you don't want to go back to the island, so I'm going to make a deal with you. Say what you know, help us find Mallory, and we'll go together."

"What if you leave me alone, I can't even stand up now, thanks to you."

"You can only trust me"

An Yizhi said firmly:

"Usually prisoners like you need to be handed over to the judicial department, yesterday the people at the police station also said that they would contact the police department of their country as soon as possible, but today we found out that there is no such thing as a telegram in this police station, you know what this means, they may want to keep you here until death, I don't know when the suicide of insanity will fall on your head"

This is pure nonsense, how can I have time to see if there is a telegram at the police station.

Seeing Hughes thoughtful, Ann Yizhi decided to add fuel to his fire:

"Think about it, the only thing that can prove that you killed someone is the evidence of the second murder, and there is no direct evidence at all in the first scene, and the evidence is only cigarettes, you can find a better lawyer, you don't have to worry about being sentenced to death, up to a few decades in prison, and if you behave well during the sentence, you can get a reduced sentence or even bail. And if you don't cooperate with us, you will have to wait for death forever, and the two are better, I don't need to say more, you yourself understand"

Hughes frowned and thought, Ann Yizhi was right, the law is not simply killing to pay for life. There is no room for mitigation here, and judging from the current indications, he only needs to find a lawyer to make do with him to keep him from dying. And if you stay here, you don't know if it's your turn to go crazy one day, and there are still ...... on the island

"All right, Mr. Ann. I've heard of your name before, they call you Sherlock Holmes of Italy, and I'm sure you won't fail to keep your promise."

Unexpectedly, the system arranged such a first-class title for himself, and An Yizhi was quite complacent. But the next moment the system sent a prompt.

[Side quest activation: Take Hughes to leave Chisar Island together]

It's not okay to keep your promise now, as long as An Yizhi still wants the rewards of side quests......
