Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 250 Disaster
The peak development level of Dali culture was probably located at the end of the Neolithic Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age.It has not developed its own writing system, and what is used to record events are still some symbols, murals and the like.

But even these things can only be mastered by wizards, leaders and others with high status in the tribe.

At this stage, what Wen Cheng needs to do is to decipher the information he needs from these symbols like children's graffiti.In particular, decipher what happened in the last large-scale sacrifice before the last big battle against the tribe located by the river.

Because there is enough evidence to show that this "war" has not yet started, and Dali culture has already ushered in its demise.Wen Cheng believes that the final demise of Dali culture may be related to what happened during the last sacrifice.

But at this moment, what appeared on the sarcophagus was similar to the glowing lines in children's graffiti, which made Wen Cheng fall into deep doubts.

Why do sarcophagi glow?What does the glowing sarcophagus mean?
This question puzzled him a lot.He can only continue to compare the rest of the symbols, study the rest of the pottery, jade, bone, bronze and other artifacts, hoping to find clues from them.

Just when he was feeling more and more irritable, the symbol on a pottery shard piled up in the corner caught his attention.

With a few simple lines on it, an animal with a thick body and a long nose is outlined.Although crude, it can still be seen that it is an elephant.

Same as the sarcophagus at this moment, there are lines around the elephant.It's like... the elephant is also glowing.

But elephants are obviously impossible to shine.

Or in other words, the ancestors of Dali culture foreshadowed and created some kind of information through this kind of luminous lines?For example, the ancestors of the Dali culture might have thought that the elephant was some kind of sacred creature, a holy beast, and when they depicted it, they added lines to show that it was different?
This pottery tablet seems to record the process of hunting elephants by the ancestors.But unexpectedly, in the early and late stages of this luminous elephant, the image of the elephant depicted does not have such luminous lines.

"This……"

After pondering for a moment, Wen Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.The next moment, he froze there as if struck by lightning.

He suddenly thought of another possibility.And as soon as this possibility appeared, he immediately realized that it was very likely to be true.For no matter which situation this possibility is placed in, it can be explained perfectly.

"So it is, so it is..."

Wencheng dry mouth.

The so-called lines actually represent not light or light, but... sound.

If you look at the information on the pottery at this moment according to this explanation, it is easy to understand.

First, the ancestors of the Dali culture set out to hunt elephants.In the early stage, the elephant didn't find people, so it didn't run away, howl or make a sound.Therefore, there is no such line around it.

Later, the ancestors surrounded the elephant with spears, bows and arrows.The elephant started howling, and there was this line around him.

Later, the elephants were killed by the ancestors.It doesn't bark anymore, and the lines disappear again.

In particular, the length, spacing, density, etc. of such lines seem to represent different types of sounds.

Of course Wen Cheng knew what an elephant's call was like.He saw that on the pottery shards, the lines that most likely represent the calls of elephants are thicker and longer, but there is no separation in the middle, and the density is high.

From the superficial understanding, this seems to represent this kind of sound, which is loud and high-pitched, relatively long, and relatively loud.

And this, matches the actual call of an elephant.

Wen Cheng got up, leaned down in front of the table again, and took the rubbings with lines around the sarcophagus.So he saw that the lines around the sarcophagus were divided into sections with medium density, longer and thinner.

According to this logic, it seems to mean that the sound is rhythmic, not coherent, and there is a break in the middle.Longer and thinner lines mean that although the sound is more high-pitched and high-pitched, it is relatively small?Or louder, but muffled?

It doesn't matter what type of sound it is.At least for the moment, the meaning of these lines is probably clear.

The sarcophagus was making sounds.

but……

Still something is wrong.

According to the logic of "the lines around the sarcophagus represent the sound of the sarcophagus, not the light", and looking back at the images and symbols in the past, Wen Cheng can easily find that the sarcophagus does not make sounds in normal times of.Only when performing sacrifices will lines appear around the sarcophagus and sound will be made.

Moreover, these lines representing the sound are constantly thickening and growing, which seems to mean that the sound is getting louder.

But when there is no sacrifice, the sarcophagus has no sound.

Why this time, the sarcophagus made a sound even before the sacrifice was performed?

And... so loud?

Thinking back to what was described in the materials Lu Ming gave him, this kind of sacrifice was most likely a means to bring back the God of Destiny, Wen Cheng once again had a little understanding in his mind.

He took out another picture.

On the picture, another scene is depicted.In this picture, the sarcophagus, which usually appears as a whole as a symbol, has been opened at this moment.A vague and simple figure sat up from the sarcophagus.In front of the sarcophagus, there was a dense crowd of people kneeling on the ground, as if they were worshiping the figure in the sarcophagus.

Unlike the other pictures, there is a line around this picture, which alternates from end to end, enclosing it in a circle.Wen Cheng has made it clear through previous research that this circled image represents the future tense, that is, a scene that has not yet happened at this moment but will happen in the future.

And this scene appeared in a conversation between a villain with three feathers on his head and a villain wearing an animal skin skirt.

The man with the three feathers is the tribal wizard.The villain in the animal skin skirt is the leader of the tribe.

While thinking, some scattered clues slowly connected together.

This is how it should have happened.

The ancestors of the Dali culture planned to launch a large-scale war against a tribe near the river.In order to ensure victory, the wizard negotiated with the tribal leader and once again made a large-scale sacrifice to the sarcophagus.

Prior to this, the sarcophagus had already appeared the phenomenon of "sounding independently without sacrifice".Wizards believe that this is a sign that the god of destiny is about to be resurrected.He told the leader that if another large-scale sacrifice was carried out, the god of destiny would really be resurrected.

And the resurrected God of Destiny can bless the ancestors of Dali culture to win the war.

It can be confirmed that the tribal leader agreed to the wizard's proposal.

Although there were no symbols or images of the sacrificial site left, Wen Cheng found some other images.Among those images, there are a large number of people with their stomachs raised high - which obviously means that they are pregnant women - their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were escorted to the sacrificial scene.

In addition, there are some animals such as sheep, pigs, and cows with bulging bellies.

Based on the counting method of the Dali culture, Wen Cheng roughly estimated that the scale of the sacrifice this time was indeed very large.During this sacrifice, about [-] pregnant slaves and thousands of livestock were used as sacrifices.

This is the closest image Wen Cheng could find to the time when the Dali culture died.

After this, there is nothing else.

As for whether the large-scale sacrifice was carried out, what happened during it, whether the God of Destiny was resurrected, and what happened after its resurrection, there is no record handed down.

but……

Geological research has found that the Dali culture was destroyed by a flood.

The flood came so suddenly that even before the Dali culture had time to start a war against the tribe near the river, they were completely destroyed.

A large amount of food, bones, and weapon remains can prove this point.

At that time, they had completed the assembly, completed the food reserves, and brought enough weapons.But they all died at the location of Dali Culture, and they didn't even have time to leave here.

Combined with this clue, a speculation appeared in Wen Cheng's mind.

Perhaps... the God of Destiny has really resurrected.What went wrong was that the resurrection of the God of Destiny did not help the Dali culture war.The resurrection of the God of Destiny instead triggered a flood and destroyed them.

I don't know how many generations and years it lasted, and I don't know how many pregnant women and beasts were sacrificed to the God of Destiny, and finally it was resurrected.But the first thing it did after its resurrection was to kill those who awakened it.

Of course, it is also possible that the demise of Dali culture has nothing to do with the resurrection of the so-called God of Destiny.Maybe that flood was already brewing, but it was just a coincidence of time.

But...don't forget, the god of destiny rules destiny.It can take away the luck of the fetus in the pregnant woman's womb.

If this is a myth, that's all.However, the materials provided by Lu Ming confirmed the existence of this ability.

Then, when the army is assembled, it will be wiped out before it even leaves. This can't be considered luck, can it?Since luck is bad, and it is extremely bad, who would believe that it has nothing to do with the God of Destiny who controls fate?
It is more likely that the resurrected God of Destiny took away the luck of all the ancestors of the Dali culture and made everyone's luck extremely bad.However, everyone's bad luck caused this flood, causing everyone to be drowned.

Wen Cheng felt that it was necessary for him to report to Lu Ming.

He contacted Lu Ming, and a moment later, a guard arrived and invited him to an office.

In the office, both Lu Ming and He Wei were present.There was also a laptop open, and Lu Qingliang also participated in the report through this method.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wen Cheng slowly narrated, telling all his discoveries and guesses.

Of course, these are just his speculations and guesses based on the existing clues.He cannot guarantee the correctness of these things.Nor was he asked to make sure it was correct.

This is just some reference.

In the office, the three of Lu Ming fell into silence.After a while, Lu Ming waved his hand: "Thank you very much. These things of yours are of great reference value. Let's do this first, you go back and continue to serve your sentence. If you have any questions later, we will contact you. Or if you have any new discoveries, You can also contact me."

Wen Cheng stood up and said respectfully, "Okay."

"Your meritorious service materials, I will submit them to the prison where you are in later."

"Thank you."

After Wen Cheng left, Lu Ming looked at He Wei and Lu Qingliang: "What do you think?"

He Wei frowned and said, "Too much information is missing, and there are too many places that cannot be determined. The fact that the God of Destiny was resurrected in the last large-scale sacrifice of Dali Culture and finally destroyed Dali Culture seems a bit illusory .But ... I think there is a certain possibility that this situation does exist. It deserves our attention."

"I agree."

On the screen, Lu Qingliang also nodded solemnly: "The resurrection of the God of Destiny may cause disaster. We must pay attention to it."

If we say that before, our side's concern about "if the God of Destiny is resurrected, it may not be a good thing" is just an instinctive worry and guess, then now, this research on Dali culture can be regarded as providing an effect that is not too strong evidence.

However, no matter how weak the effect is, it is also a support.However, there is a huge difference between support and no support.

Lu Ming said slowly: "That's true. However, what I'm thinking is... If this guess is true, what is the scope of the God of Destiny's destruction? What is its unit?"

"Ok?"

This question made Lu Qingliang and He Wei a little confused.

Lu Ming continued: "There is evidence that only the Dali culture was destroyed by the god of fate. Many other cultures that existed on the earth at that time were not affected. Otherwise, human beings would have been extinct long ago, and there would be no us. Based on this Judging from it, it seems that the scope of God of Destiny's destruction is not too large.

But... Dali culture appeared as a whole in this matter.It is Dali culture to offer sacrifices to the god of fate.In the end, it was Dali culture that was destroyed by the god of fate.

So at this moment, the sacrifices to the sarcophagus are the fate organization as an individual, or a single organization, and our second action team. After the god of destiny is resurrected, it is only the fate organization and us that will be destroyed, or... us The human civilization it represents? "

Is it human civilization that sacrifices to the God of Destiny?If in the eyes of God of Destiny, human civilization, like Dali culture, emerged as a whole, then...

He Wei was terrified.
