Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 244 Changes
Lu Ming's idea finally got Li Wenhua's approval.He temporarily approved Lu Ming's current arrangement.Or to put it another way...he actually didn't have too much hope for Lu Ming.

You go and investigate it first, if you really can't figure it out, you can either find another team to investigate it, or directly list it as an unsolved case.

This matter is too strange, and the probability of being listed as an unsolved case should be very high.Moreover, in any case, at least at this stage, this matter has not shown too much harm, so it is not too urgent.

After this report was over, Lu Ming, who was temporarily serving as the captain, did not directly make any arrangements.He once again began to concentrate on thinking, sorting out every development detail in this matter from beginning to end, trying to find something that he either missed or neglected.

But after thinking for a long time, he still failed to find any valuable clues.

He quietly looked at the sarcophagus about ten meters away from him, and sighed silently.

He was wondering if he really wanted to break open the sarcophagus to see what was inside it.

If there is really no way out in other aspects, knocking open this sarcophagus is the last way.But he didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.

In addition to causing unknown risks, doing so may also destroy the only clue, causing this case to become an unsolved case completely, and there is no possibility of a clear investigation.

After all, this sarcophagus is the only real existence that can prove that there is something weird about this case.

"Perhaps... I should bring Wen Cheng over again and ask him to interpret the artifacts collected by the Fate Organization here from the ancient Dali culture period."

Before, Lu Ming didn't let Wen Cheng get involved too deeply because of the need to keep it secret and because he didn't think Dali culture played a big role in the God of Destiny incident.It's just that now, after ruling out the last resort of "cracking the sarcophagus", Wen Cheng may have to find any breakthrough.

Of course, the probability of getting a breakthrough from Wen Cheng is also very low, and there is basically no hope for it.

After contacting Shanbei City Prison, Lu Ming successfully obtained the permit.So a few hours later, Wen Cheng, who was relieved of his worries and much more energetic than before, was brought to Lu Ming.

In a separate office, Lu Ming and Wen Cheng started a conversation.

"In your research on Dali culture, there are some things that are wrong."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming went straight to the point and said this sentence.

Wen Cheng was stunned.

He didn't expect that Lu Ming would say such a thing.

Well, even if it's wrong, so what?You went to great lengths to get me out of jail and into your presence just to tell me this?
Lu Ming ignored him, but continued: "What the sarcophagus represents, and what the ancestors of the Dali culture worshiped, is not death, but fate. The ancestors of the Dali culture sacrificed pregnant women and beasts to the sarcophagus , the purpose is not to 'sacrifice death with a newborn', but to sacrifice fate with the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman."

Wen Cheng was at a loss.

Lu Ming said lightly: "Now, we have found that sarcophagus."

Wen Cheng stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.

"It's impossible!" He lost his voice: "You mean, you found the real sarcophagus in the real world? How is this possible? It's just a symbol, a symbol, a totem, how could it exist? In the real world?"

Just like some ancestors worshiped the phoenix, the god of the sea, and the god of thunder.

How could they actually exist?

"Wen Cheng, what you will see next is top-secret information. If you leak it, you may never get out of prison in your life."

Lu Ming put the detailed documents of the "bad luck" case in front of Wen Cheng: "If you can promise not to leak the secret and are prepared to bear the consequences of leaking the secret, you can open it. Of course, as long as you participate in this mission, no matter what No matter what the result is, we will give you at least a second-class meritorious service."

For a second-class crime, the worst case is a commutation of several months.This was what Wen Cheng was looking forward to the most.But feeling the solemnity in Lu Ming's words, and the terrible consequences of leaking secrets—even if it was accidentally leaking secrets, he still hesitated.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, and finally picked up the document and opened it.

Lu Ming quietly waited for him until he finished reading the document.

Wen Cheng's expression didn't change much, but it didn't mean his mood was so calm.Lu Ming could clearly feel that his body, including his arms, was trembling slightly.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and slowly put down the document in his hand: "I'm going to see that sarcophagus."

"can."

Lu Ming got up, brought Wen Cheng to the sanctuary, and brought him to the sarcophagus.

At this moment, Wen Cheng's eyes suddenly burst into indescribable light.He came to the sarcophagus in a few steps like a vicious dog, squatted down, and carefully inspected everything in the sarcophagus.He was caressing the sarcophagus with his hands, but he didn't dare to touch it directly, like an artist who saw a shocking artwork and was afraid of accidentally destroying it.

"I've seen this kind of pattern on a piece of unearthed jade...I thought it meant to communicate with 'Death', but now it doesn't look like..."

"I used to wonder why the totem that the ancestors of the Dali culture regarded as the incarnation of the god of death had this shape. Now it seems that it was simplified according to the real thing..."

After seeing the sarcophagus, many doubts in Wen Cheng's mind seemed to be answered.

"Chief Lu, what do you mean to say that this sarcophagus does possess some kind of mysterious power, um... the power that can affect fate? This kind of power does not exist in illusion, but exists in reality?"

"Yes."

Lu Ming directly admitted: "We have gone through a lot of experiments and have confirmed this."

Wen Cheng finally understood why the secrecy level of this incident was so high.

If this kind of mysterious and strange thing is known by the public to exist in the world, then, how many people's world views will be subverted, and how many troubles will be caused.

He took a deep breath and barely suppressed the shock in his heart: "So, what can I do?"

"I want to know what kind of impact this sarcophagus had on the ancestors of the Dali culture, and to what extent."

If this matter can be answered, then, using the original Dali culture as a reference, we can roughly know what kind of impact the "resurrection" of the God of Destiny will have on the human world.

"Also, what secrets do the ancestors of the Dali Culture have about this sarcophagus?"

Wen Cheng nodded: "I will try my best."

Lu Ming opened up Wen Cheng's authority, allowing him to access those ancient artifacts from the ancient Dali culture seized by the Destiny Organization, in order to decipher the information that may be contained in them.In order to achieve this goal, Lu Ming also allocated all his previous research materials and tools.

Wen Cheng's job was just an attempt by Lu Ming. From Lu Ming's standpoint, he didn't place too much hope on it.He's still trying to find another way.It's just a pity that it has not been found so far.

Another regular meeting ended in the silence of the three.It was already dark at this moment, and in the night sky, the bright moon hung high and the stars were dotted.

In all fairness, the environment of the manor that the Destiny Organization used as their lair is not bad.In a certain path surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, Lu Ming walked slowly in the night, thinking silently.

But today's thinking didn't last long before he was awakened by a slightly complicated noise.Looking in the direction of the sound with some doubts, it didn't take long before hearing a burst of chaotic footsteps.

"I found it, I found it, Chief Lu is here!"

A guard rushed over first.After seeing Lu Ming's figure clearly, he immediately called out to the communicator.

Lu Ming was startled, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

"Officer He said that we can't reach you by phone, so let us find you immediately. Chief Lu, please follow me. Chief He is waiting for you over there."

In order to ensure that he can fully devote himself to thinking, Lu Ming did not carry his mobile phone with him, but put it in his residence.He also didn't allow the guards to follow him.

Anyway, this manor has long been under strict security, so there is no need to worry about safety.

At this moment, upon hearing the guard's words, Lu Ming immediately realized that something unexpected must have happened, and that's why He Wei had to find her immediately.

Lu Ming didn't dare to neglect, and immediately followed the guards to the place that was temporarily opened as a conference room.Pushing the door open and entering, He Wei saw a serious face.

"Lu Ming, I just received a report. Twenty minutes ago, the guards guarding the sarcophagus heard a voice coming from the sarcophagus."

He Wei pressed the player, and a sound came from the laptop in front of her.

Boom boom, boom boom...

It was the same as the sound from the sarcophagus during the sacrifice.

Lu Ming frowned: "We didn't make a sacrifice, did we?"

He Wei said in a deep voice, "Of course not. The sarcophagus has been guarded 24 hours a day, and anyone without permission cannot approach it."

This is a sudden event, a new change, a change that no one could have predicted before.

In the past, the sarcophagus would only ring when the sacrifice was in progress.Now, without offering sacrifices, the sarcophagus actually started to ring?
"Go to the scene."

"Walk."

The two immediately got up and hurried to the sanctuary with more than twenty guards.After signaling everyone to keep quiet, and approaching the sarcophagus, Lu Ming really heard the bang bang.

After listening for a while, Lu Ming confirmed in his heart that the intensity was similar to that of the last sacrifice.

Lu Ming frowned again.

"Before the sound came from the sarcophagus, was there any change? Or something strange."

The captain of the guard said in a deep voice: "Report to Sergeant Lu, there is no change. We checked the video surveillance and found nothing abnormal during this period of time."

"Or, what did you do?"

The captain of the guard looked slightly angry, as if he had been humiliated.His voice was still neither humble nor overbearing, but it was a little louder: "Report to Sergeant Lu, our guard strictly abides by the system, and has not taken any actions other than guarding here. There is also video surveillance to prove it."

Lu Ming vaguely sensed something, and there was a little more apology in his voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

The captain of the guard raised his hand in salute, turned and left.At this time, He Wei copied the surveillance cameras over, and Lu Ming carefully checked them one by one. Sure enough, he didn't see any abnormal changes in the surveillance, or the guards did any actions that shouldn't be done.

Everything in the sanctuary is as usual.But the sarcophagus, which only made noises during sacrifices, rang without any external changes.

And...for such a long time.

It has been at least half an hour since the sound came out, and there is still no sign of the sound stopping.

The only explanation, then, is that the changes took place outside the sanctuary.It was some changes in the outside world that caused the changes here.

So what will it be?
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed silently.

At this stage, apart from continuing to closely monitor the sarcophagus, there seems to be nothing he can do.

But this incident cast a shadow over Lu Ming's heart.

In any case, there must be some changes happening in some places that I don't know.Whether these changes are good or bad, when these changes accumulate to a certain limit, and what will happen after quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, I have no idea.

This kind of feeling that you can only wait passively, but can't do anything, and can't affect anything is not good.But at this moment, Lu Ming could only endure all this.

The next day, in the morning, a phone call came in suddenly.Lu Ming took out his mobile phone, and was a little surprised to see that the call was actually from Lin Shen.

It has been a while since I received a call from Lin Shen.Of course, this is not a bad thing.This means that the seafood stall that he "partnered" with Lin Shen has been operating normally, and there are no major accidents in Lin Shen's life.

For a person like Lin Shen who is plagued by bad luck, nothing is the best situation.

but now……

When Lu Ming answered the phone, he heard Lin Shen's tone of despair.

"Brother Lu, I accidentally fell and broke my leg last night. I'm in the hospital now. Um... are you free during this time? Can you come to the store for a while?"

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Although Lin Shen was unlucky in the past, it was more of a trivial matter, a detail in life.Such a thing as breaking a leg has never happened.

After all, no matter how you look at it, a broken leg cannot be regarded as ordinary bad luck, but very bad luck.

　I hurried home and coded out this chapter.Uh, if nothing unexpected happens, I should have time to write a chapter tomorrow.

For Chinese New Year, please ask for a monthly pass.
