"Two, do you remember what happened at the end?"

An Yizhi said as he threw the cards on the table.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, I just remember what the head picture hit"

Tu Hongyu said.

"King Fried."

Breeze Bazooka threw a pair of highest cards and said:

"I saw you two being thrown off the boat and then I fell too"

An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu said that they couldn't afford it, and Qingfeng Bazooka then threw out a pair.

To explain why they are playing cards, this is a little bit earlier.

As soon as the three of them, who had thought that they would be able to escape and wait for the system to send a congratulatory message to complete the mission, they felt the whole ship shake violently, and the feeling was like a small windsurf board in a tropical storm, and the whole sea water was stirred.

An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu were caught off guard, and they crashed into a coma on the boat, Qingfeng Bazuka was better than them, reacted very quickly, and immediately grabbed the things around him to fix himself. However, it was difficult for human beings to resist this natural disaster-like force, and she was quickly thrown out of the fishing boat like the two of them, and then it was dark in front of them, and the two of them were playing cards in this temporary space.

Normally, the characters are unconscious, especially in the temporary dungeon, and the player is all unconscious, and the system should speed up time, but this time it seems to be a little different, and I didn't receive a system prompt after waiting for two minutes, and the only thing that reassures the three of them is that they didn't die out of the dungeon, otherwise they wouldn't be playing cards here, but appeared on the resurrection table in the overworld.

An Yizhi was very puzzled, Lao Tzu had escaped from the island, which was good. Anyway, you won't be arrested again, right?

Thinking about this, Qingfeng Bazooka threw out the 'plane' and 'Junko' one after another, and when it was about to finish, the three of them received a system prompt that their game characters were about to wake up.

simply threw away the cards, and An Yizhi chose to enter.

"You guy is going to lose and run away!"

Tu Hongyu muttered, and the three of them re-entered the dungeon at the same time.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

When An Yizhi opened his eyes, he felt that his body was wet, and there were bursts of pain in his forehead, probably caused by bumping into something before.

Beneath him was rough rocky ground, and he struggled to get up. Tu Hongyu and Qingfeng Bazooka were lying near him, and they had just woken up at this time.

I turned on the flashlight and scanned the surroundings. They were in a cave-like place, with salty water behind them, and they probably came in from there. It was impossible to get out of there, because the rock had fallen and completely blocked the hole.

"I don't know if Hughes is dead or not"

Hearing Tu Hongyu say this, An Yi pulled out the taskbar and looked at it and said:

"He's not dead, side quests don't fail prompts"

"That crystal, isn't it the kind we saw before?"

Breeze Bazooka pointed to the stone paths dotted on the cave walls.

"It doesn't seem to be, it's just ordinary gem ore"

According to the information found in the library, there are intricate underground lava tunnels under the town, and a large amount of raw gem ore has been found here. It is estimated that they came in through a hole connected to the sea, but I don't know if they came in by themselves or were sucked in by the indescribable form of the island, after all, it is not scientific to encounter such a big wind and waves just after leaving the dock.

"Huh? It's gone."

"What's missing?"

Ann touched the crystal around her neck with one finger and found it empty.

"Crystals, crystals are gone"

The other two also touched the bottom of their necks, but they also didn't touch the crystal that would absorb magic.

"Got into the body?"

"Don't say it's so scary, okay! However, the system did not prompt, and everything was normal on the status bar, and it felt like the crystal was falling off on its own."

"Why?"

"How do I know?"

They were confused here, and Breeze Bazooka carefully looked at the passage ahead:

"Regardless of how the crystal fell off, let's find the exit first."

Indeed, how the crystal disappeared can be thought about later, and the immediate priority now is to get out of this island as soon as possible, or at least return to the surface first.

But......

Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, An Yizhi suddenly felt that the sun was a dog.

- It's a labyrinth!

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"Is this road right, how do I feel that the road just now is more likely?"

"Pull it down, we just walked through the one you said."

An Yi fingered: "......"

The three of them advanced in the passage for nearly an hour, and after finding several passages blocked by the collapse, they finally found a way out, but they didn't know if this road could lead directly to the ground.

The trio were wet and cold, and they were severely underarmed with weapons.

Tu Hongyu was completely out of ammunition, the pistol was similar to a burning stick, and An Yizhi still had two rounds, which was still left after attacking the townsfolk before he pulled the trigger......

Qingfeng Bazooka still retains some combat power, she has a revolver that is in a full state of ammunition, and the rifle on her shoulder is also full, if there is any danger, it is estimated that she can only rely on this girl to protect the two of them.

The only good news was that there were no crystals of the kind that appeared on the ground, and apart from the labyrinth, which was a bit of a headache (mainly an finger), they didn't encounter any enemies or any danger.

Continuing to walk along the pathway, this time they saw that there were many traces of artificial excavation on the surrounding cave walls, this discovery shocked the three of them, and it was estimated that they should be able to find an exit around.

"Like...... Is it an iron gate? ”

Tu Hongyu pointed to the door not far away and said.

"Go over and see, be careful"

I don't know how many meters underground I found such an iron door similar to an anti-theft door, and I always felt that it was not normal.

The three of them slowly approached the iron door, and An nodded at the two of them, and volunteered to reach out to push the door.

Unexpectedly, the door was completely unlocked, and it opened with a light push.

Only the same color rock wall can be seen from outside the door, and the cold light of the flashlight reflects a terrifying shadow.

They had no choice but to enter or not. This is the only road that is not blocked, and even if there is a great danger inside, you can only enter it head-on.

An Yizhi thought that there were a large number of crystals behind the door, or a bunch of controlled townspeople waiting somewhere, but he didn't expect to find that it was just an empty cavity after entering, the top of the cave was dozens of meters high to the bottom of the cave, and on the other side, you could hear the sound of rushing water, and you could see an underground river flowing around the slightly higher ground in the center.

"Over there, there seems to be a hole, and I can see the stairs going up."

Tu Hongyu said with a flashlight.

The place he was referring to had to cross an underground river, which was very fast. But it's not a big problem, there is a large flat stone on the underground river, like a natural bridge.

"Shhhh

As soon as Qingfeng Bazooka said, the remaining two people immediately became vigilant......

- Although there is no need for them to be vigilant or not......

Shining a flashlight through them, they saw a man standing at the other end of the hollow with his back to them, facing a massive, natural stone wall that didn't feel at all like a natural formation, flat and smooth without a single blemish.

The three of them didn't dare to lean over, who knows who that guy is.

At this moment, the man seemed to feel the light of the flashlight, and he turned around, revealing a very young face.

"You're Mallory. Nelson? ”

Ann took out the old woman's photo of them and looked at it, yes, this person was Mallory, who had been missing for a month.

"You know me? Oh, my mother sent you, right? ”

Mallory wasn't controlled like the townsfolk on the ground, he smiled, and his smile always reminded Ann of his own family......

"Why are you here?"

"I ...... It doesn't matter."

He was about to answer, but shook his head firmly:

"I became a priest of a new generation, and through contact with the Great Being, I became aware of the truth of the world."

"You're not crazy?"

It's not like Ann is talking nonsense, according to the situation in the Cthulhu Mythos, the best fate for many people who come into contact with forbidden knowledge is to go crazy.

Mallory smiled, not bothering about Ann's words, and said:

"I know what is happening on the island, but my power is limited and I can't stop him."

"You say he ......"

"Well, Chisarz, Quartz Crystal, Old Dominator, Q'yth-Az"

It's really old! System you give me out! I promise to kill you!

Ann was jumping to his feet when there was a low shaking around them, and they felt that the shaking seemed to be coming from within the stone wall behind Mallory.

"Time is running out, he's waking up. You can go back to the ground through the passage on the left."

"What are you going to do?"

An Yizhi is still thinking about the side quest rewards.

"Me?"

Shaking his head, Mallory said:

"I'm hopeless, you see"

As he spoke, he held up his left hand, which had been hidden behind his back, and that hand had completely turned into an irregular crystal.

"He can absorb a person's knowledge and experience through Tonghua and turn it into his own power, and I only had a brief contact with him."

"Can't it be removed?"

"Can't"

Mallory pulled off his coat, and everyone saw that his lower abdomen had turned into crystals.

"I know, your name is Ann Yizhi, and Chisaz is very pleased with your magic."

Although he was praised, Ann didn't feel happy at all.

"Please bring this ring to my mother and tell her that I have always loved her and hope she is healthy"

A large silver ring was pulled out of his pocket, and Mallory threw him into Ann's hand.

"Now, let's go."

The side quest has not failed with a hint of failure, indicating that Mallory may still be saved.

An Yi was about to think of a solution when he saw a small gap in the large, flat stone wall from the top, and along the gap, they saw the majesty of the old ruler.

Towering as a tower, the huge crystalline body glows with a great brilliance that is so beautiful that it is intoxicating, and it is simply not a great splendor of the mortal world. However, the moment I looked at him, it was like an incomparable sense of fear came over my heart. Just like an ant who sees the whole picture of an elephant one day, the existence beyond common sense is terrifying.

At the same time, a special voice echoed in his ears, and he was clearer than ever.

"Come on...... Ann Yizhi ...... Come on, become one with me"
