"I see...... Have you read The Mysterious Island by the famous French science fiction writer Jules Verne?"

Professor Donald looked at Eryi, thinking that supernatural people like him were relatively closed and didn't know much about the outside supernatural world, so he skipped the topic of Eryi's supernatural abilities and continued: "This 'Stone of Verne' is named after him!"

"When I was a child, I read fairy tales, but they were all translated and condensed. ”

"But I've seen movie adaptations before, hasn't there been a new version of "The Mystery" released recently?"

Eryi was a little strange why Professor Donald suddenly mentioned this: "Don't tell me that this Azin Tuzhi Island is the mysterious island written by Verne?"

"Throughout his life, Verne was a lover of adventure and sailing, and wrote many fantastical works. ”

"Many of his works are based on his own experiences, or what he saw and heard during his adventures and voyages. ”

"In the context of the 19th century, what he wrote is really a bit unbelievable and beyond people's imagination, so he is known as the 'father of science fiction'. ”

"There are many scholars and Verne fans in the West who study his works, and they all believe that some of the places described in his works are real, and some of the things he has personally experienced, and some people even look for those mysterious places according to the descriptions in his works, which once caused a lot of controversy. ”

"However, after his death in the early twentieth century, some of his manuscripts were acquired at auction, and the contents of which were even more bizarre than those he had written and published, one of the pages of the manuscript mentioned a mysterious 'stone of power'. ”

Professor Donald nodded: "According to Verne's description, those who possess this 'Power Stone' will have god-like power and the power to change the world!"

"We can think of this description as a home's imagination or creative idea, but the 'power stone' he describes is too graphic and too concrete, for example, the 'power stone' has the ability to change the environment and affect living things and plants. ”

"The manuscript mentions that the 'Stone of Power' is not a single piece, it can appear anywhere, but it is most commonly found in the seabed and volcanoes, and it seems that as long as there is a 'Stone of Power', it will inevitably be accompanied by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. ”

"At the same time, any island where there is a 'Power Stone' has a strange natural environment and mysterious supernatural phenomena, and the reason why there is a 'Power Stone' on the island seems to be explained...... Sounds incredible, doesn't it?"

Professor Donald shook his head again and said, "Some even think that the 'Power Stone' is actually uranium ore...... It fits well with Verne's description of the 'Stone of Power', but in fact it seems that this stone should be called the 'Stone of Energy', or a meteorite with strong radiation!"

"Do you mean that the strange environment of Azin Tochi Island and the presence of such strange creatures as parasitic fungi are the result of the 'Stone of Verne'?"

Eryi was surprised: "It comes from the meteorite that fell on the island of Axin Tuchi more than a hundred years ago, and it was because of that meteorite that the volcanic eruption was triggered?"

"Actually, I didn't connect them at first. ”

"Until I got some World War II materials from the military, and at the same time I got a manuscript from Verne......"

"Verne died in 1905, but his manuscript accurately predicted that ten years later, a volcano would erupt on an island in the east, and that island was the island of Ashintuchi at our feet!"

Professor Donald's expression was a little confused: "After all these clues are connected, it is difficult not to guess that the mysterious object that the Fuso garrison found from Ashintuichi Island during World War II and tried to transport away is the so-called 'Stone of Verne'!"

"And what does this have to do with what happened to you at sea?"

Er Yi frowned and said, "Have you found the 'Stone of Verne'? How did you get captured by the Fuso forces? Those consortium mercenaries also came to find this stone?"

"No!"

"It's not that we found the 'Stone of Verne', it's that it found us!"

Professor Donald had a frightened look on his face: "The night we went to sea, the World War II-era Fuso warship 'Hesai Maru' came to us with a thick fog!"

"How is this possible? Wasn't the Kasai Maru sunk by the bombing?"

"Even if it didn't sink, how did a warship from World War II sail to the point where it still has oil?"

Although he had already encountered a lot of strange things, even the head descender and ghosts, Er Yi's eyes still widened involuntarily: "It's also accompanied by a thick fog...... Don't tell me it's turned into a ghost ship!"

"But that's exactly what happened!"

"It was getting late and we were all ready to go home. ”

Professor Donald's expression was very strange: "But when I returned to the vicinity of Ashin Tochi Island, I saw the broken and rusted Hersai Maru coming out of the thick fog, and I could even see the crew and soldiers on the ship moving, as if they were fleeing from Ashin Tochi Island......

The corners of Eryi's mouth twitched, why does it sound like the plot of some horror movie?

"When the Hersai Maru rushed towards us wrapped in thick fog, all the instruments and equipment on our three exploration ships were out of order, and even lost power. ”

"The ghosts of those Fuso soldiers are running on the Kasai Maru, driving the broken warship like a fishing net to crash into us, and even turning the turret to shoot at us!"

Professor Donald fell into some strange state, his eyes lost focus, as if he saw the terrifying scene again, and he trembled and said loudly: "We were frightened, many of the crew even jumped into the sea in fright to escape the impact, but we couldn't escape at all when we lost power, and we couldn't even turn to avoid it, and the Hersai Maru crashed into the side of our ship, and then ......"

Er Yi hurriedly released a [blessing] to him, helping him dispel some fear, and asked, "Then what?"

Professor Donald had a strange expression on his face, "Do you know how long we've been missing?"
