When he returned to the hotel on Skull Island, it was almost noon, and this was the result of Leo urging Old Belen, in fact, Old Belen was very unwilling to give up the investigation like this, and he also wanted to make some trouble, let himself stay on Big Nose Island, and by the way, Leo was also involved, but it was resolved by Leo.

For Leo, there is no need to be troubled, especially now that his main destination is the mainland of Minsk, if he is delayed by some other things, it will be a big loss.

Although Old Belen was paid, the payment he paid was discounted, and Leo's assistance was naturally discounted, in his opinion, he was worthy of the reward for taking Old Belen out of Big Nose Island smoothly and letting him spread the information here, at least he thought so.

However, Leo didn't do nothing, before he left Big Nose Island, he secretly captured a seeded treasure hunter and local residents, and examined their bodies from the inside out through the dual penetration of spiritual networks and psionic energy.

Through examination, he found that in the brain of the treasure hunter, the seeds actually penetrated into the pineal gland and fused with the nerves of the brain, which was very similar to the holy worm on Yam Island.

But in the case of the islanders, Leo found a completely different situation, the islanders no longer have a trace of seeds in their brains, as if they were digested, but in the islanders, there is a different set of nervous systems.

There are not a few creatures in the universe that have more than one set of nervous systems, and the Earth Federation has also studied this, and used the relevant results on cyborgs, when Leo was still a cyborg, his body had five different sets of nervous systems and organs, and the main role of these nervous systems and organs was to allow them to exert their due power on the battlefield in different environments.

However, the inhabitants of the island also apparently have an extra nervous system than ordinary people, and based on the cause and effect of the incident, it is clear that this nervous system is derived from the seed implanted in them by the tree.

Although Leo didn't know what the role of this nervous system could play, judging from the strength of this nervous system, it was far more powerful than the nervous system of ordinary people, and they were also linked to the various organs of those inhabitants, once the nervous system was replaced, then the new nervous system might be able to improve those ordinary human organs, even if it was temporary.

According to Leo's estimate, if the extra nervous system can fully exert all its strength, it will probably be able to exert the physical strength equivalent to that of a third-level psionic person, just physical strength, after all, he does not feel any supernormal energy fluctuations in that nervous system.

It's just that based on the nearly 7,000 permanent residents of the town on Big Nose Island, they are equivalent to 7,000 berserkers with the physical strength of a third-level psyker, which is a terrifying thing anywhere in the Veren world.

After Leo found out about these circumstances, in order to compensate for the payment paid by Old Belen, he told the news to Old Belen.

Old Belen naturally attached great importance to this matter, and even used the last few pages of the notebook for this reason, as for the final result, Leo was not very clear, and could only see from the relaxed look of Old Belen at night that he seemed to have received a desired answer.

Leo's second night on Skull Island was spent resting in his hotel room, and he spent that time sorting out the research notebook, which he valued more and more as he sorted out more and more, even considering it as as valuable as the magical items in his storage space that he didn't understand.

Because Leo has never studied witchcraft systematically, his understanding of the underlying level of witchcraft is very superficial, and most of them use psionic methods to analyze witchcraft and use witchcraft, and now he can clearly understand from this research note that witchcraft is not only a derivative power of cosmic psionic energy, but also has other unique mysterious powers, which have never existed even among those omega-level advanced life forms in the universe.

For example, curse power. In this study of witchcraft, a low-level curse power is detailed, and the way this power is used is somewhat like some kind of religious ritual, which makes Leo feel a little absurd, but he still tests it according to the above method, and the test object is a gambler who lives next door on the same floor as him.

The result was somewhat surprising, the gambler was bound to win every gamble for a while under the influence of the curse, but at the same time the bad luck seemed to accompany him, and no matter what he did, he would get injured, and the injuries would get worse and worse, such as drinking water that would cause the cup to burst, cut his cheek, and almost blind his glasses.

What's more, this power is silent, and even Leo is a user who only vaguely feels that he has succeeded, as if it is some kind of illusion, and cannot feel the power of the curse like he feels the energy fluctuations.

While this curse is magical, like it can bestow luck and bad luck on others, it is not practical for Leo, and even some of the benefits outweigh the benefits.

First of all, this curse sorcery can only act on ordinary people, and the effect will be greatly weakened in people with extraordinary powers, and eventually it will be completely ineffective.

Secondly, the fate-changing power produced by this cursed sorcery is not created out of thin air, but comes at a price, and this price is the luck of the caster himself.

While the cursed witchcraft had an effect on the gambler, it also had an effect on Leo, although this effect was not as obvious as that of the gambler, and the damage was as great, but it also caused some inconvenience to it to a greater or lesser extent, such as when he walked around, the ceiling on his head would inexplicably fall off and hit him.

This blow did not hurt him, but it surprised him, because according to the normal case, he could easily avoid such an accident, but the strange thing is that he has no way to dodge, and even if he detects it, his thinking and reflex nerves will seem to have suddenly degenerated into ordinary people, unable to respond effectively.

He was surprised and amazed by this unguardable and even more irresistible force, but more curious, because he could see the potential of this mysterious cursed power.

Imagine being able to kill a target with little to no direct contact with them, just a little of the target's belongings, which is simply an excellent method for assassination.

Of course, the premise is to find the true way to use this power, rather than performing some mysterious rituals that seem a little crazy, and it is also key to get rid of this power flaw, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss to kill a target and get yourself half dead

In the early morning, the old captain of the Ice Queen knocked on the door of the hotel room where the passengers were on the ship and told everyone the departure time, and the passengers on the ship also went to Skull Town to buy some local specialties and souvenirs while there was still some time.

Leo didn't have anything to buy, so he just picked up his luggage, returned his hotel room, and went to a small restaurant near the pier alone, eating breakfast while waiting for the boat to leave.

The curse power that acted on his body had disappeared in the early morning, otherwise, he would not have left the hotel room, lest he would have encountered some accidents inexplicably while walking on the street, and become the joke and conversation point of other people's after-dinner meals.

He had just ordered a breakfast at the small restaurant when a commotion came from the restaurant counter, and the owner of the restaurant looked at the newspaper in his hand that had just been ironed by his staff, and his face showed a look of shock, as if he had seen something terrible.

Not only was Leo curious about the reason for the boss's reaction, but so were the guests at the other restaurants around him, one of whom looked like he was working on the docks and was supposed to be a regular customer.

"The unsinkable miracle star has sunk?" the boss replied as he handed over the newspaper in his hand, took out a bottle of wine under the counter, and after taking a sip, he still hadn't recovered from the shock.

When everyone heard the boss's words, they didn't react to the news at first, but soon they realized the meaning of this sentence, and they all let out the most obvious look of shock.

The Miracle Star is arguably the crowning achievement of the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of England, and has been the focus of the whole world since its construction, and when the Miracle Star successfully completed the launching ceremony, sailed out of the shipyard, and docked at the dock, the eyes of the whole world were focused there, and even the division of the French Empire at that time was squeezed off the front page.

After that, the interior modification of the ship, the steam machinery used, and the details of the decoration were the first choice on the front page of every newspaper, and almost any topic related to the miracle star would become the hottest topic at the time, and the title of the unsinkable miracle star was also given by everyone who participated in the naming discussion, and it was recognized by the shipbuilding experts of the entire vinylon world, because in the eyes of these professionals, the ship was indeed impossible to sink.

However, now to everyone's surprise, the unsinkable ship actually sank on the maiden voyage, this accident made people who were still immersed in the fantasy of the highest masterpiece of shipbuilding unacceptable, and what was even more unacceptable was that in the end, more than 5,000 passengers and more than 1,000 staff on board were all buried in the sea, and the reason was that the owner thought that the ship would never sink and would never be equipped with lifeboats, so four of them were used to make appearances. There are no other lifeboats other than the ones that have not even been painted.

It can be imagined how desperate everyone was in the face of the sea from which there was nowhere to escape when the Miracle Star sank, and these details made people feel extremely angry while being shocked by the sinking of the Miracle Star.

For a while, in the small restaurant, all kinds of insults came one after another, all the insults were directed at the owner, the designer and all the people who had anything to do with the ship, not only in the small restaurant, but even on the dock outside the restaurant, there were all kinds of exclamations and scolding, obviously the news had spread on Skull Island.

Leo wasn't too surprised by the sinking of the Miracle Star, because when he first saw the Miracle Star, he had a vague feeling that something might happen to the ship, and now it just confirmed his idea.

He took the newspaper from a woman's hand and took a quick look at its contents, realizing that it was three days ago, perhaps due to communication difficulties, and that the Miracle Star had sunk the day before they entered Skull Bay.

Leo didn't pay much attention to the matter of the miracle star, he was more concerned about the follow-up of this matter, there is no doubt that this matter has a great impact on the shipbuilding industry of the entire Kingdom of Inge, and all industries related to shipbuilding will be greatly affected, including Leo's United Group, after all, some of the mechanical parts they produce are mainly supplied to the shipyards in the Kingdom of Inge.

On the surface, the shipyards of the Kingdom of England and the entire shipbuilding industry will be affected, and there will definitely be many related industries that go bankrupt or struggle to maintain, but the political impact of this matter is actually greater.

The construction of the Miracle Star was promoted by most members of Congress, and even a lot of related policies were implemented for the construction of the Miracle Star, which was mainly aimed at supporting the shipbuilding industry. Because these congressmen have large and small shipbuilding industries and related industries under their hands, supporting the shipbuilding industry is equivalent to supporting their industries.

The royal family and the traditional landed aristocracy were naturally dissatisfied with this, but the MPs acted according to the rules and could not fault anything.

Now, if something happens to the Miracle Star, the industry of these MPs will inevitably be affected, and at the same time, some people will need to be kicked out and take responsibility for the Miracle Star, so that there will inevitably be a lot of vacant seats in the Congress, and at that time, there will inevitably be some political turmoil within the Kingdom of England because of these MPs.

While Leo was thinking about what he should do about it, on the dock outside the restaurant, the sailors of the Ice Queen had already begun to arrange the sails and prepare for the imminent departure.

Seeing this, Leo put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up his luggage and walked towards the boat.

At this moment, on the dock, all the conversations seemed to be the same content, and everyone was shocked by this incident, but also felt inexplicable panic, after all, even the unsinkable miracle star would sink, so what kind of ship was safe?

In these conversations, there is no shortage of anti-intellectual rhetoric, such as the belief that the Miracle Star sank because it was an all-steel ship, and that it was all-steam-powered, and that it should be safer to go back to the days of sailboats.

This emotion even affected the crew of the Ice Queen, who were still in a trance until the Ice Queen set sail and left Skull Island. /7_7913/
