Brave World

My dear father died, it is hard for anyone to accept this matter. The girl threw herself on the corpse of Daddy Locke and wailed loudly, causing people to come out and watch in the surrounding houses with the lights not turned off. What happened.

Now it’s lively. It seems that Daddy Locke’s people look good, and he gets along well with his neighbors. Everyone comforts the crying girl who is about to collapse, and they get An Yizhi several stations. It is not standing or standing on one side, especially when everyone’s eyes are shot, it seems that they killed him.

Told it all over again, An Yizhi thought that the townspeople would go to the police to beat Hughes, or beat him to death. But after listening, everyone fell into a weird silence. Then, contrary to the attitude of everyone talking at once, they went back to the house silently, as if nothing had happened.

Even the dying girl who was still crying just kept her tears, and kept her father’s belongings with the captain as calmly as possible.

This is so strange, why has the attitude of the townspeople changed so much?

An Yizhi really wants to ask, but it feels like now is not the time.

He can’t be sure whether the townspeople are enemies or innocents. He can easily attract unnecessary attention if he speaks directly. He intends to wait and ask McFlynn. Although this person is also from Keitha Island, he has not lived here for a long time after all, so he is safer.

“Have you noticed anything?”

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

“The reaction of the townspeople is strange, the others did not notice”

Tu Hongyu also replied in a low voice, while Qingfeng Bazuka on the side noticed a suspicious point:

“I just saw that all the townspeople have a red line on their necks, and the deceased have a red line on their necks”

It’s really fortunate that she can see it, but it’s so dark at night and can still notice Thin line.

When she said that, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu focused their attention on which girl and found that there was also a red line on her neck.

“It is a pendant with a white crystal stone on it. I have seen similar ones on Old Mister’s corpse, but I don’t know if the other townspeople are carrying things. It’s the same.”

“Maybe…is it a clue?”

Pendant that the whole town has? Tu Hongyu hesitantly said.

“Maybe, write it down first. Let’s be careful. I think this island is dangerous.”

An Yizhi’s words drew the agreement of the two, and they felt it too There was a strange atmosphere everywhere on this island, and it was not clear where the threat came from. Although there was nothing strange in the place passing by, it was just like that.

“Don’t reveal the fact that we are looking for people”

The two nodded agreed. Two of the men sent by Old Lady have died, and three of them will die. Not very unusual.

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

An Yizhi suddenly remembered that he still had a pocket watch belonging to the deceased. He took it out and said:

“Young Lady, this pocket watch…”

“no! I don’t know! Don’t!”

The girl actually showed great horror. She stepped back step by step, as if she saw something terrifying.

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

“I’m sorry, it’s not my father’s thing”

“But… “

“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, please go back.”

She pushed herself quickly The old man’s body entered the room and slammed the door shut as if he was afraid of An Yizhi’s further questioning.

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

He wanted to keep asking, but after knocking on the door several times, he didn’t open the door, so he had to give up.

After finishing all these things, the captain and the others are ready to go back home. He doesn’t want to stay on this island anymore. Again, I can’t tell why, but simply feel that this island is so amazing. People are uncomfortable.

“Mr. Ann, do you really plan to spend the night on the island?”

Before parting, the captain advised:

“I always think this The island is very evil. I know it’s a bit superstition to say that, but there are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. When I joined the army, I was saved by my own hunch several times. Keisa Island gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.”

The captain’s hunch is correct. The island is indeed evil, but An Yizhi and the others have reasons to disembark.

[Main mission update: Overnight on the island]

Heaven and Earth is the biggest system, it all said so, the three of An Yizhi had to do it.

“It doesn’t matter, Mr. An, you can live in my house, I just want to thank you very much”

McFlynn slapped his chest loudly.

The captain persuaded a few more words. Seeing that they were determined and unable to persuade them, they had to ask people to bring three can-sized bottles from the captain’s room:

“Please also Accept it, thank you for helping our company regain its reputation.”

The three curiously looked towards the bottle, which is a light green vial filled with some kind of viscous liquid, which was sealed with a cork. .

“These are the meads that I found when I was young in the United States. They are the meads brought by European colonists. It has been more than 100 years. It is very rare. I hope it will satisfy you.”

An Yizhi really wants to complain, Mr. Captain, do you know that mead cannot be stored for a long time? There is no difference between a hundred years of mead and poison, right?

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

System has made every detail as reasonable as possible. Such an impossible bottle of mead that has been preserved for more than a hundred years is obviously a weak spot, and system has done so and gave it to the player. , Indicating that this thing is likely to be 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 formidable power rounds, plus some detonator explosives. Even if the supernatural abilities cannot be used due to restrictions and the effects of the Peacemaker and Ruby Spellbreaking Ring cannot be used, this battle strength is enough to deal with many dangers. However, even with such a high battle strength, system still helped, which shows how dangerous this oddly-named island is.

In other words, if the mead given by the captain is a prop to help pass the level, does the system have another side mission reward?

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

“Mr. An, we will be back before tomorrow night”

The captain said this It is very clear, meaning that if there is any trouble, as long as you persist until then, you can escape.

An Yizhi calmly nodded, thanked the captain, and the three players walked to his house with McFlynn.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

McFlynn’s home is not too far from the port area, probably near the entrance to the town just after leaving the port. He took out the key to open the door, and there was dust and spider web everywhere in the house that had not been occupied for many years.

“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 Guest room”

McFlynn said that he put down his luggage, walked into the bathroom and took out rags and buckets. He wanted to clean up the whole house in the middle of the night. It must be impossible, but at least he must clean up the place where he lives. pack.

Three players also joined the ranks of cleaning. Thanks to the long-term habit of cleaning the house, An Yizhi was more efficient than the other two in cleaning up the house. It didn’t take long for them to organize the place to live.

“Are you hungry? There is nothing to eat at home, I brought some bread and jerky”

It’s jerky again…

The dungeon does not have the hunger system enabled. It doesn’t matter if the player eats or not, but An Yizhi wants to take this opportunity to ask McFlynn some questions.

“I’m sorry in advance. I read your diary during the investigation. Why do you think you may not be able to go back when you return home?”

This is the most important thing. Hughes didn’t hesitate to kill people and didn’t want to return to Keisa Island. It can be seen that there must be something on the island.

“Oh, this matter”

McFlynn swallowed his bread hard and said:

“There is a tradition long ago, every In ten or eight years, people who leave the island must come back and stay for a few days.”

“Why?”

He hesitated:

“Don’t tell anyone that I told you”

Seeing the three people nodded, he said quietly:

“Because I will die if I don’t come back, the town’s Everyone says that this island has a curse. If you leave the island for too long and will not come, you will become insane and commit suicide.”

Suicide?

An Yizhi thought of the husband of the client who was also born on the island. He seems to have died by suicide.

“Then why do you think you can’t go back home after you return?”

“Every time you return home, several people die, so I am a little worried about this meeting. It’s my turn”

“The cause of death is suicide?”

“Yes, it was my mother last time”

“I’m sorry to bring up your sadness”

“It’s nothing, it’s been almost ten years, I decided to go out to work at that time”

A small island that is often suicidal…

An Yizhi thought for a long time and didn’t expect any Evil God or supernatural creatures related to this phenomenon.

“Have you never thought about solving it?”

Tu Hongyu asked.

“No, the old people said that the gods on the island need sacrifices, but they are all superstitions. I asked the psychiatric doctor and they told me that it might be a problem with the water and soil on the island.”

p>

“Then what religion is there on the island?”

“Neither. In the early years, a bishop hall was built, and then it caught fire and burned to death the priest who came to preach. When the town has fallen, no one will preach anymore.”

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

An Yizhi silently calculated the information he got, and asked casually:

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

“That’s a rural custom. From birth, I always bring a translucent stone from the cemetery. It is said to be blessed by our ancestors”

“But you don’t?”

McFlynn smiled awkwardly:

“I threw it away, Ma Wen said I took it with me. It’s the superstition in the country. I don’t care too much if I lose it.”

p>

A few people chatted for a while, An Yizhi wanted to extract more information. But after all, McFlynn had only been intoxicated by alcohol not long ago, and his body was still very weak. He felt sleepy after talking, so An Yizhi had to let him go, and the latter also said goodbye to go back to the house to sleep, and soon he walked from behind the thin door panel. There was a grunt.
