Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 128 Whimsical
Facing Zhang Dingshan's inquiry, at this moment, everyone was silent again.

Everyone is struggling, hesitating, and weighing the pros and cons repeatedly.

The risks of various uncertainties that may be faced after the escalation of the conflict, the remaining unknown means that the Loushen may have, the possible counterattacks that the Loushen may make after feeling the threat, and the possible desperate gamble...

None of these questions have definitive answers.Moreover, it is impossible to have a definite answer until we have enough information.This means that the members of the second action team can only make subjective judgments, and can only rely on their own logic and determination to make this judgment.

After a long silence, He Wei raised her hand.

"I agree."

Lu Qingliang said the same: "I agree."

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"What about you?"

Lu Ming pondered for a long time before saying: "I just had a new idea. I feel that maybe we can try other methods first. If it doesn't work, then we can escalate the conflict."

"Oh?"

"Try to appease the God of Lou."

Lu Ming raised his head, met the surprised gazes of his teammates, and repeated his plan: "If Wu Xiuzhu could appease the God of Lou back then and make him not rush to break the formation, why couldn't we?"

This plan really exceeded the expectations of He Wei and the others.But this plan, unexpectedly, was almost instinctively opposed by several people.

"The most critical issue is that Wu Xiuzhu and Wu Qingfu are dead long ago. God knows what method they used to contact Loushen. If they can't even get in touch with Loushen, how can we talk about comfort?"

"Now that time is urgent, I don't think it's necessary. We don't have that much time to find ways to communicate."

"It's so far-fetched that I don't think it's feasible."

At this stage, even the fact that Loushen has wisdom, and that Loushen acted as the mastermind behind the scenes directing the terrorist bacteria to break the dragon-suppressing pile formation, these things only exist in speculation.Now, you want to try to get in touch with Loushen directly?

Apart from whimsical, He Wei didn't know what other words could be used to describe it.

Lu Ming raised his hand and pressed it down, silencing He Wei and Lu Qingliang's objections, and explained: "Actually, I think the method of contacting Loushen may not be troublesome, and it's not easy. Difficult. Perhaps we should change our thinking and think this way: If even a middle-aged woman like Wu Xiuzhu, who is in poverty and distress, can master the method of contacting Loushen, how difficult is this method?

Combined with some of Wu Xiuzhu's information we have already obtained, we can already confirm that although Wu Xiuzhu has never shown a clear religious inclination, this person has more religious sacrifices.We have reason to believe that the religious sacrifices she performed are related to her contact with the Loushen.

Moreover, Wu Xiuzhu didn't know the existence form of Loushen in detail at the beginning.She regards Loushen as an existence of some kind of god - this can also be seen from the fact that she named this unknown intelligent body in the Binhai Building 'Loushen'.Then, we can almost assume that Wu Xiuzhu's way of getting in touch with Loushen must be the way of communicating with gods in the usual sense in traditional culture.

So, what is the way to communicate with the gods in the usual sense? "

When Lu Ming analyzed this point, He Wei immediately had an answer in her mind.

I don’t know how many books have recorded this way of communicating with the gods.In folk customs and traditional culture, there are also many witches and gods who are practicing this way of communication.

The main points are nothing more than fasting and bathing, washing hands and body, being reverent and pious, and concentrating on praying wholeheartedly.Of course, some sacrifices may be added.

He Wei had to admit that Lu Ming's analysis made some sense.Things that were thought to be impossible to do without a stroke of the horoscope, now seem to be not that difficult.

After all, considering Wu Xiuzhu's situation at the time and her personal world concept, besides this method, what other method could she use to communicate with Loushen?

"Then, do you want to fast and take a bath first, and then try to communicate with the God of Lou by worshiping God?" He Wei muttered, "I'm afraid there is not enough time."

Lu Ming shook his head again: "In my opinion, the so-called fasting and bathing, washing hands and body cleansing are actually just a kind of ceremonial thing to allow oneself to be able to calm down. Meditation is the most important thing. The main one, and the rest are not important.

So, this attempt doesn't really take long.We can absolutely do it now.It would be good if the God of Lou was appeased successfully, but if he failed to appease, or simply couldn't communicate directly, then we can continue to carry out the original plan when we come back. "

Zhang Dingshan finally made a decision: "Since this is the case, let's try. However, how to communicate needs to be determined in advance."

"We have a negotiator in the logistics support team. I will contact him and ask him to give us advice."

The details of the murderous house case, because the negotiator's secret level is not high enough, of course cannot be disclosed to him at this moment.But this will not prevent the negotiator from contributing his wisdom in this incident.

All that needs to be done is some packaging for this event.

Lu Qingliang went online again less than 10 minutes after she went offline.Moreover, another middle-aged man who looked very competent and had thin lips also joined the virtual meeting room.

"Chief Tan, I'm really sorry to bother you at such a late hour."

"It's okay, it's all for work."

The negotiator known as Section Chief Tan said very friendly: "What is it?"

"We hope that through communication, an enemy will give up doing something that is extremely harmful. Well, the other methods may not be very effective. It would be best if it can be resolved through negotiations."

Section Chief Tan nodded: "Understood. Then, is it convenient to tell me the detailed information of the enemy? I need to analyze him to determine the plan. And, what are our advantages and reliance? In what ways can we cause damage to the enemy? What kind of threats and restrictions? What are the advantages and reliance of the enemy on our side? What are his tricky places for us?"

Zhang Dingshan pondered: "We don't understand the enemy at all, but we can probably compare him to an alien. He may not have the morals and values ​​of our normal people, and the logic of his actions is also different from our normal people."

"Crazy criminal? This is really not easy."

Section Chief Tan commented on this.

"Our advantage and reliance is that he is currently restricted by us, but it is uncertain how long this restriction can last.

If we put all our eggs in one basket, we can wipe it out at a high cost.But the cost is too high, and we don't want to go that far.

Enemy, we have no good way to prevent him from doing that extremely harmful thing for the time being.There are some hypothetical approaches that might work, but not sure.At the same time, if we use those conceived methods, it is very likely to anger the enemy, causing him to put all his eggs in one basket and make a more intense response.

Overall, that's about it. "

Section Chief Tan pondered for about ten minutes.During this process, Lu Ming and the others waited quietly without any urging.

Afterwards, Chief Tan rubbed his forehead and said slowly: "I don't know the specific situation, and I don't feel very good to make a specific judgment.

But there is actually a principle in negotiating things like this. You should know that negotiating is actually the art of compromise.Under the premise that the two parties have conflicts, each should take a step back, seek common ground while reserving differences as much as possible, and avoid the expected greater loss of interests with a small loss of interests.

Specifically, during the negotiation, you should first clarify which interests must be guaranteed by your own side, and you must first draw a red line.

Above the red line, look at things separately, distinguish which ones can be exchanged with the other party, and if exchanged, what is the price.It is necessary to arrange priorities and clarify which interests should be ensured first.

It is also possible to set up some fake chips, that is, we don’t care about these chips originally, or they don’t even exist at all, and they are created out of nothing, but during the negotiation, we can also throw them out to fight for other aspects for our side. Benefit.

On the whole, negotiation is also a very complicated matter, and I can't explain it to you in too much detail and clarity.This is a science that requires special study.Well, yes, it's science. "

Lu Ming felt a little headache.He felt that he seemed to think the negotiation was too simple.Now it seems that this kind of thing still needs to be done by professionals.

"Captain, I think it's better to let Section Chief Tan be responsible for this kind of matter."

The second action team has the right to apply to the superior.After going through some procedures and going through some procedures, Section Chief Tan's secret level can be temporarily raised, giving him the authority to know all the information of the case.

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment, and said to Section Chief Tan: "Tan Ke, it is like this. We hope that you can carry out the specific negotiations. However, this matter may have certain risks, even life-threatening. The degree of danger, If we measure it, it may be around 1%. Whether you want to participate or not is up to you.”

At present, the number that can tell Section Chief Tan is only 1%.Zhang Dingshan will only inform him of more details of the case if he thinks that the degree of risk is acceptable after his own consideration.Of course, at that time, he was not allowed to withdraw.

A look of struggle appeared on Section Chief Tan's face.After a long time, he let out a long breath and nodded, "I'll take it."

"Okay. Qingliang, you go through the formalities, and it will be done within half an hour. Tan Ke, you leave for Yangyuan City immediately. I will send you the details of the case as soon as Qingliang's procedures are completed. .You have to read it as quickly as possible and make a negotiation plan. As soon as you arrive, start negotiations immediately.”
