Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 183 Mindsets
During the regular meeting, all four fell into silence.

Several people all knew in their hearts that after screening these more than a hundred clues, the final result was very likely to find nothing.At this moment, people are already mentally prepared for this result.

However, if even this last resort fails, what else can our side do next?
How else can I investigate?What else can I check?
"What did Chu Li say?"

Before, when our own side reported these matters to Li Wenhua, Li Wenhua had stated that he would report this matter to a higher level.

Zhang Dingshan said: "The superior is still watching the development of the situation. Until there is progress, the superior does not intend to do anything."

An action team that can mobilize huge resources and manpower to investigate this matter, in the eyes of the superiors, this matter has been taken seriously enough.

Moreover, the investigation plan and progress of the action team, and how to deal with the incident, etc., are kept secret from the rest of the team, for fear that it will interfere with their case-handling thinking.However, it is transparent to the intelligence support and analysis department of the operation branch.

Our own investigation will be subject to their analysis and review at all times.

They don't have much sense of presence in normal times. At most, they assist them to do some things according to the request of the action team, but they will not interfere with the actions of the action team.

They only intervene when they feel it is necessary to intervene.

But at the moment, they did not interfere.This proves that the intelligence support and analysis team recognizes their own handling methods.In other words, they don't know how to improve the current research thinking.

According to the prophecy, the end date is approaching day by day.The superiors are waiting for their own progress to make the next decision.But at this moment, our own side was forced to stop here, facing the predicament, helpless.

Lu Ming felt the heavy pressure.

While looking at each other in silence, Lu Ming suddenly heard a crash from the video conference room, as if something fell to the ground.He raised his head suddenly, and saw that in the video window where He Wei was, the screen was shaking violently.

He Wei raised her head suddenly, and the chandelier above her head fell down and hit the table heavily.Behind her, a cabinet also shook twice and fell down.

earthquake? !
Lu Ming raised his heart immediately.The next moment, He Wei got up directly, like a dexterous civet cat, and jumped out of the shattered window in three or two steps.

The next moment, with another shock, the computer placed on the table was also shaken, the camera lens became dark, and the communication was interrupted.

"Where is He Wei now? Was there an earthquake there? What was the magnitude?"

Lu Ming was full of urgency.Zhang Dingshan picked up the phone, while Lu Qingliang quickly operated the keyboard, as if looking for something.

"An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 occurred in Qinglan City. The epicenter was located in Hongweilin District, Hongwei County, Qinglan City. The earthquake was felt in several surrounding cities..."

"He Wei is now in Shiyuan City, more than 400 kilometers away from the epicenter. Don't worry, the impact will not be too great."

Zhang Dingshan tapped on the table lightly: "Her phone can't get through. Wait for her to contact us."

Lu Qingliang also said: "The epicenter is in the forest area, where the land is vast and sparsely populated. The damage from this earthquake will not be too great."

Lu Ming relaxed a little.

He glanced at the time subconsciously, and found that it was [-]:[-] pm on October [-]th.

At this moment, in Shiyuan City, outside a certain hotel, He Wei dexterously climbed on the wall, and jumped onto the roof of another bungalow within a few moments.After climbing a few more times, it quickly fell to the flat ground.

Many people have gathered on the flat ground.But to He Wei's surprise, there was not much panic on people's faces.She even saw some people pointing at the building while smoking a cigarette, as if they were watching something lively.

The entrance and exit of the hotel did not show the scene of people escaping as He Wei had expected.Some people did come out, but there was no sign of panic.

She grabbed a hotel staff member casually.

"There's an earthquake, why do you..."

The service staff smiled politely: "Madam, are you a foreigner?"

He Wei nodded hesitantly.

"We locals are used to it. It's no big deal."

He Wei couldn't believe it: "This is an earthquake, people will die..."

"You can't run away from a big earthquake, but you don't need to run from a small earthquake. An earthquake is nothing to be afraid of. Ma'am, which room are you in? Is your room damaged?"

He Wei calmed down her thoughts, and finally accepted this attitude towards the earthquake: "Okay. In my room, the chandelier fell down, and the cabinet fell down."

"Then, are you checking out, or shall we change a room for you?"

He Wei thought for a while: "Let's change to another room."

"Okay, you come with me."

After a lot of tossing and changing rooms, He Wei picked up the phone.

"Captain, there was an earthquake just now, but I'm fine. The situation here is not serious."

In the video conference room, He Wei's voice came out through Zhang Dingshan's picture.

"You'll be fine."

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about me. However, I thought of one thing. You guys said, did the Doomsday organization...predict this earthquake?"

Lu Ming was taken aback.

This point, he did not think of it before.

Before, he was only concerned about He Wei's safety, and didn't think about these things at all.

An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 on the Richter scale is undoubtedly a strong earthquake.Even if the epicenter of this earthquake is located in a forest area with a vast area and few people, it will not cause any damage to the human world, no important facilities will be destroyed, and not many people will die because of it, but this earthquake will still inevitably cause Public opinion is strongly concerned.

At the same time, this earthquake also meets the standard of "no one interfering".

No one can interfere with a naturally occurring earthquake.No one can control the occurrence or non-occurrence of a natural earthquake, or control its location, intensity and other parameters.

No one interferes, it is significant enough, and it also meets the standards of the doomsday organization to make predictions.

That being the case, will the doomsday organization predict?If so, to whom would they "cast" this prophecy?Under the premise that their own side has already begun to track down the doomsday organization, which method will they choose to release these prophecies and recover those target persons?

According to past experience, that is, the principle of "prophecies are only released to qualified personnel of related disciplines", this time the prediction, the doomsday organization should be released to personnel majoring in geology and earthquakes.

If it is barely expanded, professionals in architecture, bridges, civil engineering, tunnels, rail transit, and water conservancy may also be within the scope.After all, these disciplines must also take into account the impact of earthquakes when constructing buildings, which is barely a touch.

But also based on past experience, this expansion may not exist.At the current stage, our own attention should still be focused on these "strongly related" disciplines.

Lu Qingliang immediately said: "I have a list of qualified personnel majoring in geology and seismology. There are 26 people in total."

Zhang Dingshan said seriously: "He Wei, immediately organize the monitoring and investigation of these people according to the list."

"Yes. I'll go right away."

Lu Ming realized that this time was the best opportunity for his own side who were unable to break through the predicament and made no progress.

Whether or not this opportunity can be used to effectively catch the doomsday organization's feet, find their lair, and even further capture the "Son of God" to confirm the authenticity of the prophecy depends largely on this opportunity.

Not many people entered the screening range this time.In this way, there is the possibility of concentrating forces and conducting comprehensive surveillance.

This time, the operation mode of the second operation team has undergone a little change compared to the last time it fully monitored the personnel involved in the "Qinan River Barrier Lake Incident".

This time, it was Lu Ming guarding the operation command hall, while He Wei and Zhang Dingshan went directly to the front line. They each led a monitoring team and took over the task of monitoring two key suspects.

The specific process is still the same as last time.It is still up to the psychologists to build a behavior model first, and then collect the current behavior of the target person and compare it with the behavior model to see if there is any inconsistency and trigger an early warning.

If the number of early warnings is triggered more, the suspicion of the target will increase.

For this operation, the second operation team took the most serious and the most important attitude, and devoted themselves to the work with all their strength.Because several of them knew in their hearts that if they missed this opportunity again, it would be hard to say whether there would be another chance next time.

Under such circumstances, the surveillance operation officially began.

"Unless you didn't make a prediction about this earthquake, unless you didn't think about relying on this prediction to absorb the intellectuals of the human world, otherwise, as long as you do it, I will definitely be able to catch you."

In a coffee shop, He Wei, who was dressed in casual attire, was gently stirring the coffee in front of her with a spoon in her hand.Her demeanor is very leisurely, like an urban white-collar worker who occasionally has leisure time enjoying a pleasant afternoon.

But her peripheral vision never left the young man sitting in front of her left.Her state of mind is also completely different from the idleness and ease on the surface.

Her heart was full of chills at the moment.

After the lesson from last time, this time, He Wei has become more cautious and serious.

After a long time, the man got up and left the coffee shop.He Wei didn't seem to pay attention to him at all, she was still drinking coffee leisurely in her seat.But she knew in her heart that another teammate of hers had temporarily taken over the monitoring task.However, in a short while, I will go to the next surveillance location to continue to complete the surveillance of the target person.

The day passed slowly.In the evening, it was time for the regular meeting.

"Today, 26 targeted persons triggered a total of 41 warnings. Five people triggered it twice, five people triggered it three times, and another 16 people triggered it once."

He Wei's expression became serious.

This data is well within the normal range.Even if a few ordinary people are randomly selected, and after building a mental model of them, and then using them to measure their behavior in the future, there is a high probability that they will show this state.

There is nothing unusual about this data.

However, how could there be no abnormality?These people are the key targets selected by our own side. If the doomsday organization really made a prediction about the earthquake, according to the law, this prediction will definitely be cast on some of these 26 people.

However, after the prophecy was verified by reality, it is impossible for them to maintain such a normal state of mind.Unless they have all received professional psychological training.

But this is obviously impossible.

With nothing to do, who would train some ordinary people?

"One day's data is nothing. Observe another day tomorrow."

On the second day, in the video conference room.

"Today, 26 target persons triggered a total of 33 warnings. Six people triggered it twice, two people triggered it three times, 15 people triggered it once, and the other three people did not trigger it once."

The data of this day is more normal than yesterday.

He Wei frowned deeply.

"How is this possible?"

It's been two days.It has been two days since the earthquake happened.How could these people still be so normal?

Didn't the doomsday organization drop prophecies on them at all?Or... the normality of these people is part of the follow-up "absorption operation"?

Because of its last surveillance operation, the Doomsday organization thought that it would also take surveillance this time, and then believed that if it still followed the previous method to "absorb" these people into the Ark Base, it would inevitably be obstructed by its own side and fail, so , took a whole new approach, and the fact that these people behaved so normally was part of that new approach?

Or maybe, through some kind of psychological treatment, they calmed down the psychological fluctuations of these people, let these people continue to show normal behavior patterns, and waited for their side to give up automatically after they thought the mission had failed before recruiting these people?
Various possibilities intertwined in He Wei's mind, making it difficult for her to make a judgment.

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly thought of a possibility.This made his expression instantly serious.

"I think...we might be missing something."

"Oh?"

Several people looked at him together.

Lu Ming sorted out his thoughts, and said solemnly: "I feel that even if the doomsday organization predicted this earthquake, their target people may not be those subjects related to the earthquake."

"Oh?"

"For pioneering the wilderness and surviving the apocalypse, I think...geology and seismology majors may not be that important."

Talents in agriculture, energy, chemical industry, medical care, construction and other majors are important.Are the talents of geology and seismology going to study earthquakes at the end of the day?What's the use of studying these things in the doomsday?
In other words, although it is also useful, the priority is obviously behind some other disciplines.

Restricted by the previous thinking pattern, after thinking about the possibility of predicting an earthquake, I only thought that the doomsday organization would put this prediction on the senior intellectuals of the scientific category strongly related to the earthquake.

But... who can be sure that this time, the doomsday organization didn't secretly hide its positions on the Mingxiu plank road, anticipating its own mindset, and the real goal, but aimed at intellectuals from other disciplines?
