Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 227 Another one who only lurks and doesn’t speak
Xius was delighted, this idea seemed very promising.

He just needs to randomly pull in two people from different places, and in order to get to know each other, they will naturally exchange a lot of information about each other.

He just had to listen from the side. No matter what was communicated between the two sides, it was more useful to him than the same old prayers.

Just do it when you think of it. Xiu Si plans to find two people to try it out first. For the first attempt, he plans to choose some people who are more likely to succeed. Although extraordinary people often know more secrets than ordinary people, their extraordinary knowledge can easily make them wary of this kind of weird communication.

If it were a mortal, Hughes would quickly choose two people, Ken and Jeremiah.

These two people are both mortals, and they were part of the first group to go out on the Black Pearl. I think it would be easy for them to recognize each other and not be so alert.

Ken is young and simple-minded, so he easily lets down his guard. As a captain, Jeremiah must know a lot about the sea and know important information.

And they are most likely still on the ship. Judging from the time, they should be returning from the North. They might talk about information about the sea, or at least about their own bodies. He was on the Black Pearl before.

Xiusi began to search for the white silk threads with a slightly unfamiliar look. These were all people related to him.

After searching for a while, he frowned in confusion. "Strange, why is there no one on Castel Island?"

There were many people related to him. He found all those outside the island, but he could not find any on the island.

Is Castel so isolated from the outside world? Even the power of his body can't break through?

Well, if there is no information, then there is no information. What he needs to know now is the information outside. He basically knows everything about the island, so it won’t be a problem.

Soon he found the thread between Jeremiah and Ken.

He tried to tie the thread between the two of them, and then gradually immersed himself in it.

At this moment, on the Black Pearl.

After lunch every day, it was Ken's lecture time. Jeremiah would come to listen to the lecture at this time, and sometimes even forced the crew to follow him.

Today, he is alone.

"Mr. Jeremiah, aren't they coming to class anymore?"

"Let them be."

Jeremiah actually didn't have much mood to listen to the class, but he still came. He said he didn't quite understand why, but whenever he felt irritable, he would come here to listen to Ken's lectures on mechanical knowledge, and his anxiety would gradually subside.

It seems that he is still useful on the boat.

Jeremiah glanced at Ken and thought to himself.

When he left Blood Harbor, Ken actually followed him.

Jeremiah actually hoped that Ken would stay. This young man did not belong to the sea, and there was no need for him to risk his life with him. But since he was willing to go along, Captain Jeremiah would not say anything.

He is the captain and is only responsible for leading everyone forward. Whether others want to board the ship is their own business.

Everyone is responsible for their own decisions.

"I hope everything goes well and that Castel can be found."

Looking at Ken who was explaining with a blueprint in front of him, Jeremiah frowned subconsciously. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he was distracted for a moment and did not react.

"So this is what we're going to talk about today, the impact of material deformation on overall strength. Master Jeremiah, do you have any other questions?"

"Oh, don't ask me, I want to get something to eat. I didn't have enough for lunch."

Ken said something, but Jeremiah's mind was filled with another thought. Jeremiah's eyes widened instantly.

He tried to calm down and act as normal as possible. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I was distracted and didn't hear. Please tell me again from the beginning."

"what?"

"No! I don't want to talk about it anymore. He probably didn't listen seriously even if I did!"

Jeremiah raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, I'll tell you again."

After listening for a while, Xiu Si felt a little numb all over.

The first half of this attempt was pretty much as he expected. Ken did tell him a lot of things, and Hughes at least knew that both of them were on the boat, and they were still trying to find Caster - strange, why were they "looking for" Caster, were they lost?

But what happened next was different from what he expected.

Hughes was sure that Jeremiah was not far from Ken. Ken said a lot of things like "Mr. Jeremiah, I don't want to give the lecture anymore," but Jeremiah didn't say anything at all.

And from what Ken said, it could be felt that Jeremiah not only discovered that he could communicate directly with Ken, but also specifically tested the specific conditions for the two to communicate.

In other words, Jeremiah deliberately kept silent and just listened attentively to what Ken was saying!
Hughes was stunned. This was completely different from what he had expected. He had originally intended to eavesdrop, but Jeremiah had the same idea as him and also kept silent.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. In novels, people who had access to chat groups kept talking and making good use of them. Why were all the people he met here so cautious?

Thinking of the two people who had disconnected as soon as they heard his voice, Xius really didn't dare to force them to come out and talk. It would be troublesome if they disconnected directly.

The biggest trouble with him inviting people to chat is that others can leave whenever they want and can completely ignore him.

After thinking about it, Zeus tried to vibrate the two white lines and kept repeating the existence of the two people in his mind.

hum!
Jeremiah and Ken felt a buzzing in their heads at the same time, and for a moment, they felt a connection between each other in a trance.

"What happened, Mr. Jeremiah?"

"have no idea. 』

The two were stunned for a moment, then opened their eyes wide at the same time.

『! ! ! ! 』

"Mr. Jeremiah, that was..."

Jeremiah nodded grimly. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to speak frankly. "You heard me, right here." He pointed to his head. "I could hear you just now, too. It's been a while."

"Can you hear me?"

"Yes! Yes, Mr. Jeremiah, this, this is incredible!"

Jeremiah and Ken stared at each other with their mouths closed, yet they could hear each other talking. This magical feeling was the first time they had ever experienced it.

"It's amazing, it's amazing."

Zeus couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He had long been accustomed to online chatting. He didn't feel anything when chatting with the banshees before. After all, they were also creatures that were good at mental power. Only now did he realize how shocking the power of this mental connection was to mortals.

The two men looked as if they had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes.
