The girl threw herself on the corpse of Locke's father and cried, causing people in the surrounding houses to come out to see what was happening.

It's lively now, it looks like Daddy Locke's people are good, and he gets along well with the neighbors, everyone comforts the girl who is about to collapse from crying, and Ann points to a few of them standing on the side and walking is not standing, especially the sight that everyone shoots, as if they killed it.

After saying all about it, Ann thought that the townsfolk would go to the police in a rage to beat Hughes, or simply beat him to death. But after hearing this, everyone fell into an eerie silence, and then reversed the attitude of the gossip just now, and went back to the house silently, as if nothing had happened.

Even the girl, who was crying as if she was dying, held back her tears and handed over her father's relics to the captain as calmly as possible.

It's so strange, why has the attitude of the townspeople changed so much?

An Yizhi wanted to ask, but felt that now was not the time.

He wasn't sure if the townsfolk were enemies or innocents, and speaking directly could easily attract unwanted attention. He planned to wait and ask McFlyn later, although this man was also from Chisa Island, he hadn't lived here for a long time after all, and he was safer.

"Did you notice anything?"

Seeing that the captain was talking to the girl, An Yizhi whispered to the two teammates.

"The townsfolk reacted strangely, and the others didn't notice"

Tu Hongyu also replied in a whisper, but Qingfeng Bazooka on the side noticed a suspicious point:

"I just saw that all the townspeople have a red thread around their necks, and the dead also have them on their necks"

It's a shame that she can see that the thin line on her neck can be noticed in the darkness of the night.

Hearing her say this, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu focused their attention on which girl and found that there was also a red line around her neck.

"It was a pendant with a stone that looked like a white crystal, I had seen something similar to it on the old gentleman's corpse, but I don't know if the other townsfolk were carrying the same thing"

"This may ...... Is it a clue? ”

A pendant that the whole town has? Tu Hongyu hesitated.

"Maybe, write it down first, let's be careful, I feel that this island is dangerous"

An Yizhi's words drew the approval of the two, and they also felt that there was a strange aura everywhere on this island, and they couldn't tell where this threat came from, although there was nothing strange about the places they passed by on the road, but there was such a feeling.

"Don't expose the fact that we came to find someone"

The two nodded in agreement, two of the men sent by the old woman had already died, and it was not uncommon for the three of them to die.

The three players whispered together, and on the other side, the conversation between the captain and the girl came to an end, and they had just finished saying their goodbye.

An Yizhi suddenly remembered that he still had a pocket watch belonging to the deceased in his hand, and he took it out and said:

"Miss, this pocket watch ......"

"Nope! I do not know! Other! ”

The girl was so frightened that she stepped back as if she had seen something terrible.

Then she realized her state of affairs, calmed down and said:

"I'm sorry, that's not my father's thing"

"......"

"My father has never been in the habit of carrying a pocket watch, thank you for catching the murderer, but I don't want to say anything now, please go back"

After saying that, she hurriedly pushed her father's corpse into the house, and slammed the door as if she was afraid of Ann's finger asking.

This move made An Yizhi feel that this pocket watch could be a key clue.

He wanted to continue, but after knocking on the door several times, he didn't open it, so he had to give up.

After doing these things, the captain and the others were ready to go home, he didn't want to stay on this island any longer, and again, I can't tell why, but I simply felt that this island was very uncomfortable.

"Mr. An, do you really plan to spend the night on the island?"

Before parting, the captain advised:

"I always think this island is very evil, I know it's a bit superstitious, but there are many things in this world that can't be explained by science, when I joined the army, I was saved by my own premonition several times, and Chisa Island gave me a very uncomfortable feeling"

The captain's hunch was right, the island was indeed evil, but Ann pointed out that they also had a reason to get off the ship.

[Main Quest Update: Spend the Night on the Island]

The big system of heaven and earth is the largest, it all said so, and An Yizhi and the three of them had no choice but to do so.

"It's okay, Mr. An, you can stay at my house, I just want to thank you well"

McFlin slapped his chest on the bang.

The captain persuaded them two more words, and seeing that they were resolute, he could not persuade them, so he had to ask someone to bring three bottles the size of cans from the captain's room:

"Please accept it and thank you for helping our company regain its reputation."

The three of them looked curiously at the bottle, which was a small light green bottle containing some kind of viscous liquid, which was sealed with a wooden stopper.

"These are the meads that I found when I was young in the United States, the mead brought by European colonizers, it has been more than a hundred years, it is a very rare thing, I hope you are satisfied"

An Yizhi wanted to complain, Mr. Captain, did you know that mead cannot be stored for a long time? More than 100 years of honey wine is no different from poison, right?

However, he thanked and accepted it, because the appearance of this bottle of mead was unusual.

The system made as much sense as possible in every detail, so that a bottle of mead that couldn't have been kept for more than a hundred years was clearly flawed, and the system did it anyway and gave it to the player, indicating that this thing was probably a boost.

It also shows that this copy is very dangerous from the side, you know, An Yizhi has a total of 5 pistols on them, a rifle that fires full-power rounds, and a number of detonator explosives. Even if the effects of the Peacemaker and Ruby Breaking Ring are not effective due to the limitations of the supernatural abilities, such combat power is enough to deal with many dangers. However, even with such a high combat power, the system still helps, which shows how dangerous this strangely named island really is.

In other words, if the mead given by the captain is a prop to help clear the level, is it another reward for a side quest in the system?

Before parting, the captain whispered in An Yizhi's ear:

"Mr. An, we will be back by tomorrow night"

The captain made this very clear, meaning that if there is any trouble, as long as you hold on until then, you will be able to get out of danger.

Ann nodded quietly and thanked the captain, and the three players walked towards his house with McFlynn.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

McFflin's home wasn't too far from the port area, probably near the entrance and exit that had just left the port and entered the town. He pulled out the key and opened the door, and the house, which had not been inhabited for years, was littered with dust and cobwebs.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been back for a long time, you can use my parents' room, there is a metal double bed, I'll find some quilts later, as for this young lady, you can go to the guest room"

McFlin said as he put down his luggage, and went into the bathroom to take out a rag and a bucket, and it was certainly impossible to clean up the whole house in the middle of the night, but at least he had to tidy up where he lived.

The three players also joined in the cleaning process, and thanks to the long-term habit of cleaning the house, Ann Yizhi was more efficient than the other two, and it didn't take long for them to tidy up where they were going to live.

"Are you hungry? There was nothing to eat at home, I brought some bread and jerky"

Jerky again......

This time the dungeon didn't have the hunger system turned on, so it didn't matter if the player ate or not, but Ann wanted to take this opportunity to ask McFlyn some questions.

"I'm sorry in advance, I read your diary when I was investigating the case, why do you think you may not be able to go back after returning home?"

This is the most critical question, Hughes does not hesitate to kill people and does not want to return to Chisar Island, so it can be seen that there must be something on the island.

"Oh, this thing"

McFlynn swallowed hard and said:

"There's a long tradition that every 10 or 8 years, people who leave the island have to come back for a few days."

"Why?"

He hesitated:

"Don't tell anyone that I told you"

Seeing the three of them nodding, he whispered reassuringly:

"Because if you don't come back, you will die, and the people in the town say that there is a curse on this island, and if you leave the island for too long and don't come, you will go insane and commit suicide."

Suicide?

An Yizhi thought of the husband who was also from the island and the client. It was as if he had died by suicide.

"Then why do you think you won't be able to go back when you return home?"

"Every time I go home, a few people die, so I'm a little worried that this time it's my turn."

"The cause of death is also suicide?"

"Yes, it was my mother last time"

"I'm sorry to mention your sadness"

"It's nothing, it's been almost ten years, and that's when I decided to go out to work."

An island that is often suicidal......

An Yizhi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of any evil gods or supernatural creatures related to this phenomenon.

"Didn't you think about solving it?"

Tu Hongyu asked.

"No, the old people said that the gods on the island needed sacrifices, but they were all superstitions, I asked the psychiatrist, and they told me that it might be a problem with the water and soil on the island."

"And what religion is there on the island?"

"No, in the early years there was a Catholic church, which was burned down by fire, and the priests who came to preach were burned to death. Then the town fell, and no one came to preach anymore."

There is no strange religion, but there are legends of gods who need tribute, so there are many people who commit suicide?

An Yizhi silently counted the information he had obtained, and asked casually:

"By the way, do you know the kind of necklace that everyone wears?"

"It's a backcountry custom, and from birth, you will bring a translucent stone from the cemetery, which is said to be blessed by your ancestors."

"But you didn't?"

McFlin smiled awkwardly:

"Mine was thrown away early, and Ma Wen said that I brought that very old-fashioned. Anyway, it's a superstition in the countryside, and I don't care too much about throwing it away."

The few people chatted for a while, and An Yizhi wanted to deduct more information. However, McFlyn had only been poisoned with alcohol not long ago, and his body was still very weak, and he felt sleepy after chatting for a while, so Ann Yizhi had to let him go, and the latter also said goodbye and went back to sleep, and soon there was a snoring sound from behind the thin door panel.
