Chapter 362

"Can I take your answer as an agreement to cooperate?"

"Of course, but please forgive me for not shaking hands with you. Your lesbian almost made me a loser forever."

It's impossible to say you don't care. Anyone who gets shot three times will get angry. Hughes speaks to them so calmly just because both sides have what they want, take what they need, and have some use value.

"Where do you want to start?"

"Let's start with the strange things on the island."

Ann thought for a moment and said.

"Hey, I thought you'd just ask me who you're looking for"

Hughes tilted his head. Instead of looking at Ann, he looked out of the iron window. Ann knew he was paying attention to the police outside.

"Well, since you want to know, I'll start here."

After a while, Hughes continued:

"There is a nameless existence on the island that ordinary people can't understand."

Sure enough!

Although there had been speculation for a long time, when he heard Hughes say so, an Yizhi couldn't help but have a headache. Mom, do you really want to face the old rulers?

"This is neither a legend nor a myth, Mr. an. Believe it or not, there are things that human beings can't understand."

Thinking that Ann's silence was because she didn't believe it, Hughes explained.

"I believe"

"Hehe, it seems that you have met it before."

Tut, this man is really hard to deal with.

Hughes only noticed from the three word answer that an Yizhi had experienced these things. After all, when it was said to any ordinary person with three normal views, the first reaction was' you're teasing me '.

"My story can be left for later, please continue"

An Yizhi urged.

"There is still time, so we must start from the beginning."

Time? Is there any time limit?

He was puzzled and heard Hughes continue:

"I don't know when he appeared, but I know that he has existed for a longer time than any history. The four ancient civilizations? Hey, in front of him, even babbling children can't be counted. In his eyes, human history is just a flash in the pan and has no meaning."

Thinking of the illusion he saw not long ago, an Yi pointed out that what looked like a huge mass of mucus was UBO Salas, the old ruler who first came to the earth. At that time, the earth was still a "fireball" of volcanoes.

However, UBO Salas was not the only old dominator who came at that time. There were many old dominators who left their names or did not leave their names. The most famous was the living flame, ketugya.

Can it be said that the guy who made trouble on the island was one of the old rulers who came to the earth at that time?

If it is true, then the difficulty of this copy is too much!

Front anal old system, do you think we are Super Saiyan?

An Yizhi couldn't help but extend his warmest greetings to the whole family of the system. Hughes continued:

"Such a great and incomprehensible existence was entrenched on the island. He remained dormant until the 16th century, when my ancestors drifted to this desert island because of shipwrecks."

"I read this from the library."

"Don't be so absolute. The book says how we got to the island, but it doesn't say why we didn't leave. Mr. an, please tell me whether the island is worth living."

"No, no value at all"

This is not nonsense, but a conclusion based on what an Yizhi heard and saw after he went to the island.

The only river on the island is only a stream, and there is no well in the town, which shows how scarce fresh water resources are. In addition, most parts of the island are saline alkali land, which can not grow food at all. There are not many fishing boats docked at the wharf, indicating that there are few fish nearby and there are no fish at all.

Food and fresh water are one of the prerequisites for human settlement. Although it is said that modern people can make up for these by using superb means of transportation, the residents settled on the island have been here since the 16th century. There are no natural resources worth mentioning on the island, and it is even difficult to guarantee food and drink. Why do they stay?

Hughes was about to answer the question.

"Because my ancestors were controlled by him, um... Or hypnotized is more appropriate."

"What's his purpose?"

"Purpose... Mr. an, do you know the existence of magic?"

Does this NPC know too much?

Ann nodded. The latter continued:

"He is very weak and has been sleeping because his strength has almost disappeared and he needs to replenish his strength."

"Is his way to replenish his strength the crystal everyone carries?"

No wonder Ann feels that magic is being absorbed all the time.

"Yes, it is through this that he draws strength. The protection of his ancestors? Hehe, my poor ignorant compatriots believe in this kind of thing."

"But... If he absorbs magic through the crystal, why not let the people on the island take the crystal out?"

Compared with the more than 300 people on the island, there are obviously more people outside.

"He can't"

Hughes shook his head:

"I don't know why. As long as the crystal leaves the island, it will lose its power and become a stone forever."

"But it didn't turn into stone"

Hughes saw it anyway. Ann pointed to the crystal under her neck and said:

"It came from father Locke's pocket watch. I opened it, so it was like this."

"Oh? There's no line, Mr. an. It seems that your magic is very high. I rarely see this situation. No, don't ask me how to take it off. I don't know. Don't try to use any violence. You'll regret it."

Hughes thought that the crystal with an Yizhi was hung with a transparent fishing line, and then noticed that it was embedded in the meat.

The player's magic value is very high. Even if the mysterious power attribute is only 1, it is much higher than the NPCs of these temporary copies. After all, the player's body belongs to the magic world, which is what we often call the high magic plane.

"As for why the crystal in the pocket watch didn't turn into stone, it's because father Locke invented a way to temporarily seal the crystal power and won't make him ineffective. It just needs to be placed in a closed environment. You're smart, but you're smart. Open it rashly. That's the trick."

An Yizhi didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing. Anyway, it's not painful or itchy. He said:

"Who the hell is father Locke? Why do you know this?"

"That's what I want to say next."

Hughes, like a memory, said after a while:

"The people on the island are hypnotized and controlled by him. They will ignore everything that seems unreasonable to the outside world and regard attracting more people to live on the island as an important task in their life. Although in their own opinion, they just want to make the town prosperous, they actually help a certain existence obtain sacrifices. However, there are a small group of people, or they are gifted, or maybe he deliberately stays Yes, they were not hypnotized, but also contacted the existence. They were convinced by the unspeakable greatness and were willing to serve him when they kept a clear consciousness. They called themselves priests. Father Locke was the last priest on the island. He knew many taboo knowledge, which was given by his master. "

With a self mocking smile, Hughes added:

"As for me? My father, too, inherited his talent from me. I know all this, but I don't want to continue to serve him. I want to escape as far as possible. But father Locke found me a month ago and said that I was one of the candidates for priests and must return to the island to perform my duties."

"So you did all that?"

"Is it hard to understand?"

Hughes asked back.

In fact, it's not difficult to understand. If you compare your heart to your heart, I'm afraid you'll do more than he does. So an Yizhi decided to skip the topic and asked:

"Last night we saw townspeople and some... Er, things like ghosts appear in the street..."

"He is absorbing magic. The so-called ghosts are just fragments of poor people who have been sucked away by him. He sleeps most of the time. The magic absorbed by crystal is very limited. However, when the planet is in the right position, it will wake up once in about 10-8 years, which is the origin of the period of returning home. And it will wake up for a while in March every year He will absorb magic by very efficient means. Why do people commit suicide on the island? That's why, magic is actually a kind of spiritual power. Excessive absorption or even complete drying will lead to mental collapse. "

It is clear why people on the island commit suicide inexplicably. An Yi pointed to a strange thing. Before, he planned to return the pocket watch to father Locke's daughter, but the latter said in horror that his father never brought a pocket watch.

He said it, and Hughes replied:

"Father Locke's daughter is also an insider, but she doesn't inherit too much talent to resist hypnosis, but instinctively knows that she can't touch more crystals."

"Why?"

"Because a crystal can be regarded as a water pump, everyone has only a little magic. If she touches more crystals, she will be drained quickly, resulting in mental collapse. I guess she doesn't know the bends in it, but just out of instinct."

Since entering the copy, a series of doubts have been answered here in Hughes, but there is another question.

"Does crystal really have the ability to realize its wishes?"

"Nothing at all. His so-called wish fulfillment is actually just a little help by using hypnosis. For example, you want to get a girl's heart. Crystal who uses hypnosis to make you become the type that the girl likes. That's all. Once you use this ability, the person's will will will be like being thrown into a millstone, bit by bit Broken, soul, will, magic, everything is absorbed by the great being "

No wonder Mallory's father was insane and committed suicide. In other words, he could last for 20 years. Isn't this willpower too strong.

"You said the crystal would turn into stone when it left the island. I'm looking for Mallory. His father may have used this power, and it's outside the island."

Hughes was flustered when he heard Ann say this:

"It shows that his strength has recovered a lot... No! You must get me out at once!"

"You haven't said the most important thing yet..."

"I probably know where the person you're looking for is. That guy may be the only priest besides me, but I won't say it until I get out of this damn cage!"

Hughes was not stupid. He knew that if he said it and Ann pointed out that they didn't care about him, he couldn't do anything.

Ann couldn't explain the existence of the "Branch Mission". Besides, they'll get Hughes out now. How can they save Mallory in case of a big accident?
