Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 16 Fishing Bait
In the dark, the two clues quietly formed a meeting point.

This seems to indicate something.

He Wei thought of many things and many possibilities, but these things were very messy and could not be connected in the end.

"A kind of... hair-related cult worship? Kidnapping people with the gene that makes hair thicker, offering sacrifices to the gods to please the gods? Or, making their own hair thicker? Could it be that these cultists are all Bald? A bunch of psychopathic bald?"

But Sun Yong, who was heavily suspected, was obviously not bald.Uh, maybe it's a wig.It's just that the Rag.1 gene is not the only gene that determines the thickness of hair, and it doesn't even dominate.This is also somewhat implausible.

Quietly, almost subconsciously, He Wei identified the mysterious organization as a mysterious cult.The statue, which was insignificant at first, seemed to have some mysterious and strange meaning in her eyes at the moment.

Its slightly large eyes, slightly distorted face, slightly open mouth, and slightly thin body together form a strange figure that seems to be sneering at itself.

At this moment, the bracelet on Lu Qingliang's wrist vibrated.He raised his arm and looked at it, then said: "Captain, the preliminary results of the material inspection of this statue show that the composition of this statue is not some kind of wood, but some kind of material that we don't understand at all. Further inspection and analysis Still in progress."

This obviously once again intensifies the possibility of "this is an alien creation", and further intensifies the possibility that this mysterious organization, or mysterious cult, is related to some kind of "supernatural force".

Zhang Dingshan nodded, still in deep thought.

He Wei and Lu Qingliang also have their own concerns.

At the moment, the most important question facing the second action team is, what should be the next step?Where do we go next?

The accidental disappearance of Sun Yong caused the route that was originally Kangzhuang Avenue to be clouded again.

This path is impossible.But where is the rest of the way?

"This statue... is an important clue."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Qing Liang, the next step is to check the past case files to see if there have been any cases containing this statue element. At the same time, at the same time..."

Zhang Dingshan pondered slightly.After a while, he said: "We should also check in the folklore and religious circles to see if we can find the source of this image worship."

After several major religions that have been generally recognized by the world emerged from the primitive worship of the ancestors and became fixed, all subsequent newly born religions, whether they are cults or not, will always have several major religions in terms of their teachings and images. shadow.

In the final analysis, several major religions have almost exhausted the types of worship.It is difficult for the subsequent religions to find another way. Most of them are tampering or fusion of the original teachings of the big religions, and they become a new religion after a makeover.

For example, the famous cult "Maitreya Sect" was born out of Buddhism.The White Lotus Sect, which has rebelled many times, was also born out of Buddhism, which also incorporates some Taoist elements.

According to this law, if there is a cult behind the statue in front of Zhang Dingshan at this moment, then this cult is also very likely to be born from the existing religious worship.

It is possible to find out its roots through investigations in the folklore and religious circles.

Lu Qingliang cheered up: "Yes."

"He Wei, you have to check one by one according to the list in your hand whether the personnel are currently killed or have died."

This list is the list of people with the Rag.1 gene that Yang Jun, the director of the human gene bank, sold to the rich man Sun Yong as an extra.

At this stage, Zhang Dingshan is highly suspicious that the mysterious organization, or cult, is selecting targets according to this list.

"If the person has been killed, then determine the type of death, whether it is a 'normal death' diagnosed by the hospital, or missing for no reason, no one is alive, no one is dead, no corpse. Try again to see if follow-up investigations can be carried out, maybe you can find more clues .”

He Wei also cheered up: "Yes!"

"as well as……"

Zhang Dingshan hadn't finished speaking yet.

"You have to start organizing immediately, and organize all the people who are on the list but have not been killed, including their children who may have inherited this gene, or their parents and close relatives who have inherited this gene, Ship it to Lu Ming!"

At this moment, near the explosion site, Lu Ming's place is still a military restricted zone.There are heavy troops stationed around.

He Wei was shocked.

Zhang Dingshan's intentions are obvious.

According to the previous clues, it is very likely that this mysterious cult has "indicators" for committing crimes.This requires them to commit crimes every once in a while.

Then I will isolate and protect all those who may become your targets now, and I will see how you commit crimes!

He Wei did a quick mental calculation.

There are not many people on that list, only about 500.

Of course, in the entire human world, the number of people with that special gene is not limited to just this one.But the vast majority have never had genetic testing.Now these people are people who have clearly possessed this gene.

Moreover, this list was made more than two years ago, and it has not been updated during this time.

During this period of time, a considerable part of the more than 500 people may have been killed.Just like Lu Ming, just like the other four victims who were investigated earlier.

Including close relatives, the total number of people who need to be isolated and protected will not exceed [-] at most, or even less.This task is not difficult.

As for the reason, it is easy to find.Extras, documentaries, sociological experiments, you name it.As long as the money is in place—as long as there are legitimate reasons, the operation department's funds are almost unlimited—He Wei does not believe that they will not come.

It doesn't matter if a few people refuse to come there.Fewer personnel means that Ops [-] can concentrate its spying efforts on a smaller number of people.At that time, these people may be bait, and they may be able to catch big fish.

"Understood. It's just, Captain, it has been more than two years since Sun Yong bought that list. During this period of time, many people may have been detected in the database of the human gene bank. Do you want to do it again?" Make a count and include these people in the scope of action?"

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

"This is also bait. We must do a good job in data protection. If they dare to invade the database to collect data, let them come."

"Yes."

After the task was arranged, several people left separately.

However, Lu Qingliang, who has always been known for his abundant resources, wide contacts, and good at dealing with people, soon discovered that he sometimes didn't know who to turn to or ask for help.

He first inquired about all the case information from all over the world since the historical records.

This is not difficult, after all, this is the information age, a few lines of code, plus some manual screening can be done.

The result is nothing.

Although there are many cases of cults among them, there are also many cases committed because of some small-scale local religious worship, but the statues of gods they worship, as well as the teachings of cults, etc., have nothing to do with this sculpture and the "hair" element.

It seems that this mysterious cult organization with certain hair elements has never exposed its figure in front of the security forces of the human world.

On the other hand, he found many folklore experts and religious experts through the Internet, and asked them about the worship customs related to this statue, but he still found nothing.

Experts have found no parallels among known cult types.

It seems that this mysterious cult organization has never shown up in the field of folklore and religion.

They do not preach, do not propagate, hide themselves as much as possible, and never disclose any information about themselves to the outside world. Like shadows, they are always hidden in the dark and never exposed to the sun.

"This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no way to start..."

Lu Qingliang couldn't help crying in his heart.

He had no choice but to expand the scope of the search again, and even posted the image of the statue on some public forums to a limited extent, in an attempt to find more clues.

All over the world, there are too many possible worship customs and religious customs.The so-called different sounds for ten miles, different customs for hundreds of miles, two villages separated by only a few kilometers may have different religious variants and worship customs, and the images of gods may also be very different.

At this moment, the only thing Lu Qingliang expects is that after expanding the search area, some clues will pop up on their own initiative.

On the other hand, He Wei's actions went smoothly.

After getting the list and making simple statistics, He Wei found that, except for those who had enough evidence to prove that they died normally, such as car accidents, surgical diseases, etc., at this moment, about 200 people died before the hospital due to sudden illnesses. die in.And this number is roughly consistent with the previous estimate that the average number of people who encounter "kidnapping" is about [-] people per year.

Among them, two cases caught He Wei's attention.

Because these two people are not dead, but missing.

The time point is after the second team of the operation discovered the modus operandi of the mysterious organization and began a large-scale investigation in various hospitals in the human world.

At this stage, He Wei certainly does not have enough evidence to prove that there must be "supernatural forces" behind the disappearance of these two people, but the suspicion cannot be ruled out.Even, the moment he saw these two people, He Wei made a judgment in his heart.

"This must be the cult organization. After confirming that the method of creating fake death from the hospital is extremely risky, it changed its method of committing crimes and began to kidnap people through 'disappearance'."
