The town with more than 300 people looks very small, but it's OK to deal with the three of them. Moreover, there is a big man who is suspected of being an old dominator somewhere on the island.
"This stalemate is not the way to go on. The time is very tight. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I heard the bell of the town office. There is a funeral going on. Go and see how they buried the dead. You will know that I didn't lie. Come and pick me up immediately after reading it."
As soon as Ann pointed out why, she heard Hughes shouting repeatedly:
"No! I'm not going back."
He struggled as if he were insane. But his eyes were clear and bright. He glanced at Ann secretly. The latter will understand.
It is estimated that the police came. An Yizhi hurriedly moved the rusty barbed wire back to its original position.
Seeing an get up, Qingfeng bazuka and Tu Hongyu also show their questioning eyes.
Made a sign to leave here first. The three quickly left the perimeter of the police station, especially the alley behind the police station. It was too narrow. In case of any situation, there was no place to run.
When the three came to the road, they could see people coming and going. Although they were poor, at first glance, there was no strange scenery of the small town.
"Did you ask for information? I think you didn't ask anything after lying there for a long time?"
"Let's go to the town office first, and I'll tell you more on the way."
Casually answering Tu Hongyu, an Yizhi took the lead to the town office.
Along the way, he whispered the information he heard from Hughes to the other two people. Qingfeng bazuka didn't understand these. What old dominators and unspeakable existence? What's this all about?
However, Tu Hongyu understood that his reaction was similar to that of an Yizhi and jumped at the first time:
"This is to kill us!"
"Shh, keep your voice down"
I don't know if it's an illusion. An Yizhi found that there seemed to be a little unclear in the strange eyes cast by passers-by.
"So, the mining of the island residents is also due to the influence of that existence?"
The breeze bazuka has just returned to taste, which has slowed down for several shots.
"Probably, but I always think mining is not that simple, maybe..."
In the second half of the sentence, Ann didn't say. Maybe the old dominator called chisaz was underground, and the mining was also to let him see the sun again!
"Maybe what?"
But it's just a guess. Although the accuracy rate may be very high, there is no practical evidence. Besides, Tu Hongyu is almost confused. It's better not to stimulate him.
"Nothing. Anyway, let's go to the town hall first. Hughes said there seems to be a problem with the burial of the villagers. Maybe we can find any clues."
An Yizhi said. The three accelerated and almost trotted all the way to the town office opposite the library.
"We seem to be late"
Tu Hongyu looked at the town hall and said.
Ann opened the door with a finger. There were only rows of wooden chairs and a podium in the empty town office, not even a personal shadow.
It is estimated that they have finished the funeral and are now carrying the coffin back to the Mountain Cemetery.
"What now? Go back and save Hughes first?"
Breeze bazuka asked.
"That's the only way. I think it may be more troublesome to save him first, but there's no other way now. There's no clue about Mallory's position in our team."
"No, there are still some clues. Hughes mentioned that Mallory is probably the only priest besides him, and we all know that priests usually have to stay in the temple. Have you seen any traces of divine architecture along the way?"
The two shook their heads. They were sure they had not seen any similar buildings.
"That's it. It means that the temple is not in the town. If it was in the town, outsiders in the previous prosperous period would have found it long ago, so I guess the so-called temple should be on the mountain... Especially the abandoned mine, which is the most suspicious."
Chisaz is likely to be underground, and the mine is likely to contact him, so Mallory, as a priest candidate, is likely to be locked up there.
Just
There are old masters!
An Yizhi really didn't want to go down. He opened the taskbar.
Main task: spend the night on the island. This item has been crossed out, which indicates that it has been completed, but no new main task has been activated. The two branch tasks are still the same. Take Mallory and Hughes to leave the island together.
It's not a good thing that the main task is not activated for a long time. Combined with the current intelligence, the system won't really let three people hate the old?
"Hughes must be saved"
Tu Hongyu didn't know what an Yizhi was thinking. He thought for a moment and said:
"No one can't get along with the branch line task. I think when to do this task may be more critical. If we do it first, it may lead to the whole town chasing us, but if we do it later, there may not be enough time."
"Do you want to split the army? I noticed that there is only one policeman in the police station for a long time. I think I can handle it myself."
Breeze bazuka suggested.
"No, try not to divide troops when the situation is unknown"
Dividing troops can ensure the completion of branch line tasks, but the risk is too high. It's OK to replace it with an ordinary copy of the multi universe world. After all, an Yizhi is very conceited about his strength, but it's very unwise to divide troops for such a temporary copy.
Perhaps this is a problem set by the system.
Either save Hughes or Mallory. Only one can be done. If you want to complete two, you can get more rewards. As long as you can withstand high risks, you will naturally have high returns.
An Yizhi thinks it's better to be on the safe side. He doesn't like to gamble on luck. He prefers to let everything be under control as much as possible.
So, thinking for a moment, an Yi pointed out:
"Go back and save Hughes first. Mallory's side will see."
The risk of saving Mallory may be very high. After all, it is suspected that he was under the mine in the old days, while saving Hughes is less dangerous. In the worst case, he was chased and killed by the townspeople. It's a big deal that they robbed a fishing boat and ran to the sea.
They immediately turned around and rushed back, but just at this time, they heard a bell ringing through the whole town.
"What happened?"
"I don't know..."
Seeing the passers-by running in the same direction, Ann couldn't touch her head.
"Go and have a look"
Anyway, Hughes can't lose it at the police station. At this time, there is an emergency, which shows that the plot has reached the time to move forward.
An Yi pointed out that they followed the crowd in twos and threes, but they didn't go too far. It was in the street next to the town office and library. There was a small square. The place where they saw the huge crystal on the sculpture to absorb the magic of the villagers was here at night.
The three players saw a lot of people gathered in a corner of the square. They gathered together and didn't speak. They just stood silent with their hands folded, as if they were praying?
"Make way, please make way"
Tu Hongyu gave full play to his physique and easily squeezed into the crowd with an Yizhi and Qingfeng bazuka. There, they saw a very disgusting scene.
A man fell to the ground and was covered in flesh and blood. The word was not an exaggerated rhetoric, but literally flesh and blood. His skin and muscles were almost integrated into a lump of viscous and bloody paste, which was stuck to the broken bones like ketchup.
His face has completely disappeared. Human skull is the hardest part, but the part of eye socket and nose is hollow. The structure here is unstable and can be easily broken. Now his company is in this state. It is completely concave. The gray brain is mixed with blood and minced meat, which brings people the most terrible surprise and nightmare.
His right arm is the most intact. He holds a sheep horn hammer in his palm, and the hammer head is stained with blood and broken bones.
The visual impact is limited to this, and the associated facts are even more chilling.
This man committed suicide, and he hammered himself from the bottom of his feet, slowly breaking himself, until he finally broke his face!
An indescribable cold swept three witnesses from head to foot. The cold turned into the most primitive terror. They seemed to see the man knocking himself into this kind of illusion with a sheep horn hammer.
"The deepest compassion in the world is to make all the information in the human brain impossible to connect."
The narration in the opening CG seemed to echo in his ears. An Yizhi stepped back a little. He felt sick, but he couldn't spit out in the game, which made him even more uncomfortable.
The system doesn't know why, but it didn't mosaic the body this time!
Tu Hongyu's face is as ugly as an Yizhi's. they are both ordinary people. Even if they have been in contact with curious works, they are only limited to film and television materials. They have never seen such scenes with their own eyes.
On the contrary, Qingfeng bazuka is the calmest of the three. Although her face is not good-looking, it is better than the appearance of two men about to spit out. She whispered to an:
"This man is mcflynn"
"Mcflynn?"
Ann pointed to her nausea and looked at it again.
Yes, it's really mcflynn. Although he can't recognize his face at all, his clothes and body shape are exactly the same as mcflynn. Moreover, an Yizhi saw scattered vegetable baskets near the body. He remembered that mcflynn had planned to go to the market to buy vegetables. I'll make a delicious meal at noon and thank ANN for pointing to them.
"No, it doesn't mean that only those who have absorbed too much magic will commit suicide due to insanity. He clearly doesn't bring crystal."
Tu Hongyu whispered strangely with them.
"Yes, look at his neck."
Tu Hongyu and an Yizhi tried not to look at the flattened face and looked at his bloody chest, where there was a little reflection, like a gem or glass.
Then they noticed that there was a thumb sized crystal on mcflynn's chest. It was full of blood and tissue, reflecting a gorgeous red, like a whisper from a world.
An Yizhi felt a tightness in his chest, like being swung by a sledgehammer. It was difficult for him to maintain his standing position and knelt weakly to the ground. Magic flowed out like a flood opening the gate, and an inexplicable sound came to my ears.
"An Yizhi... Come on... Come to me..."
