Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 271 Challenge
In a trance, Lu Ming slowly regained consciousness.He slowly opened his eyes, and first saw the white ceiling.

The misty white seeps through the curtains, and the sky is already bright.He stretched himself, took his phone, and looked at the time, only to find that it was almost ten o'clock.

Another good day to sleep until you wake up naturally.

Lu Ming stepped on his slippers and walked to the desk. On the computer, he saw his game account, under the manual leadership of the captain, who had been fighting among the monsters all night.

No dropped calls, no freezes, no accidents, everything went smoothly.In particular, a line of golden words flashed on the screen.

"Congratulations, on the way to kill demons, you have obtained the magic weapon 'Sword to Slay Demons'!"

What the hell!

Lu Ming shivered, moved the cursor over, saw the attribute clearly, and his heart was immediately full of excitement.

One of these things can sell for more than 1000 yuan!

The cursor in the chat box was flickering, click on it, and there were seven or eight letters from friends, all congratulating me.

Lu Ming felt even better.

Although I don't care about the money, but the game triggers the chance, no matter how little the money is, it is worth being happy.

Humming a song, Lu Ming didn't operate the game, but went to wash up first. When he came to the kitchen, he saw a note on the dining table.

"The rice is in the pot, still hot."

My parents and sister are not at home, so they should all have gone to the flower shop.

The fruit store at home has already sold out, and my parents should have gone to the flower shop to help.But it is to help, that is, to visit the store by the way, and just do some snacks.Others do the work, so it's effortless.

Lifting the lid of the pot, the aroma of preserved egg and lean pork porridge came out.Taking out the pickled radish strips from the refrigerator, and taking out the steamed buns, Lu Ming ate them with relish.

He stopped when he was only six percent full.Because he knew that there was bound to be a big meal waiting at noon, and now he had to save his stomach.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Lu Ming patted his stomach in satisfaction.

This is what life should be like.

During this period of time, Lu Ming felt like a waste, like a moth parasitic on the family, without any value to the individual, the family, or the society.

But, it feels so fucking good to be a piece of crap.If possible, Lu Ming would like to be a waste forever.

After going out, riding a two-wheeled tram, Lu Ming also went straight to the flower shop, where he saw his parents and sister.

"Xiao Ming is here? Go take a rest and play with the computer."

"Row."

After logging into the game, Lu Ming continued to fight.Mom washed her hands and said, "I'll go back to cook first, Xiao Ming, Lao Lu, Xiao Yu, go back early at noon."

"understood."

At noon, the three lazily returned home and saw another table of dishes on the dinner table.Lu Yu couldn't help complaining: "Mom, I'm getting fat after eating like this all day long."

Li Guizhi glared at her: "You don't even have a date, what's wrong with being fat."

Lu Yu shut his mouth embarrassingly.Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Lu Yu's matter was just an introduction.The focus is on yourself.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Guizhi changed the subject and pointed at Lu Ming: "Xiao Ming, you are not young anymore, it's time to talk to someone. Your second aunt introduced you to a girl who has a good family and is also pretty." , you pack up in the afternoon and go see me."

Lu Ming made a bitter face: "Mom, I'm not free this afternoon."

"Stop playing games! You can't make a wife out of games! Now that your job is considered stable, it's time to start a family! You must go in the afternoon!"

Lu Yu gloated at Lu Ming.Li Guizhi went all out and fired at the audience: "Xiaoyu, your third aunt also introduced one to you, and I have an appointment to meet you tomorrow, and you are ready to prepare too!"

Lu Ming and Lu Yu's sister and brother both languished at the same time, lowering their heads and eating sullenly.

In the afternoon, Li Guizhi went out in person and took Lu Ming to the second aunt's house.After waiting for a while, the woman also came.The elders greeted each other, and then they all left at the same time, leaving the scene to Lu Ming and the girl.

The girl had wavy curls and delicate makeup, and looked at Lu Ming with a condescending gaze: "Let's say first, if you want to marry me, you must buy me a house, write my name, and have a car. The bride price is 88. By the way, my brother just graduated from technical secondary school. You have to find a job for my brother. The kind that requires more money and less work is close to home, and it must be stable. My house in my hometown also needs to be repaired, by the way , When my parents are old, they have to take them over to live with us."

Lu Ming fled in despair.

In the afternoon, it was no accident that Li Guizhi nagged me for at least two hours.When he could finally go back to his room to play games, Lu Ming couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"It's better not to be too useless as a human being. It's not good for yourself, your family, or the society. You still have to struggle..."

As if some telepathic event had happened, the phone rang suddenly.Lu Ming picked it up and saw a message.

"There is a mission, return to the team tomorrow!"

Looking at the sender, it really was Lu Qingliang.

Lu Ming's spirit lifted.

I can't stay at home.Let's go now.

But he still put on a heavy look on his face.

"Dad, Mom, Sister, I just received the notice that I have a task, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Yu was full of envy, while Li Guizhi was very dissatisfied.

"Just stay for a few days and leave."

"Well, there is no way..."

Been there for over a month.This is not counting the time when the second team of the operation collectively dispatched a self-driving tour for more than a month immediately after the last mission, and the training time in the headquarters for a month.

All in all, it has been almost four months since the last mission.This interval cannot be considered short.

Li Guizhi started to help Lu Ming pack his things while nagging, while Lu Cheng said, "Go to work and do a good job. You don't have to worry about anything at home."

"I know Dad."

Early the next morning, Lu Ming arrived at the airport with big bags and small bags.After getting out of the car, at the entrance, Li Guizhi was still pleading: "I've asked about that girl, she's a nice person, remember to have a good chat with her."

"I know, I know."

Lu Ming ran away again.

After getting on the plane and seeing the buildings below gradually shrinking, Lu Ming felt a little more emotion in his heart, and a little more anticipation and solemnity.

"This mission, I don't know what it will be like..."

Himalayas, Assault Camp.

This is the closest camp to the summit of Mount Everest.The altitude here is as high as 8300 meters.In the tent, He Wei was nervously inspecting her equipment, preparing for the final charge to the summit.

But at this moment, the satellite phone rang.

"There is a mission, return to the team immediately."

"Hey."

He Wei shook her head regretfully.

She walked out of the tent, faced the cold wind, and looked at the summit of Mount Everest not far away.

Under the sun, in the cold wind, the peak is clearly visible.

She raised her arm and pointed to the peak, as if making a declaration.Afterward, she picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number.Soon, a helicopter roared down.

After stepping on the helicopter, He Wei left without looking back.

At this moment, in a super metropolis that ranks at least in the top five in the world, in a giant themed playground that is also ranked among the top in the world, Zhang Dingshan, Zhang Li, and Zhang Dingshan's mother are eating in a restaurant full of cartoon images.

"Little pear, eat more vegetables, it's good for your health."

"Grandma, I ate a lot of vegetables! I ate two cauliflowers, three choy sums, and a bowl of porridge."

Zhang Li wrung her fingers like a treasure.At the end, he said: "I want a drink! I want a cake! Dad! I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "No way. You ate too much."

Zhang Li pursed her mouth, sullenly: "Okay."

In the end, it was grandma who felt sorry for her, and quickly coaxed her: "Little Lizi, good boy, I'll let you eat a piece of cake after eating two choy sums, okay?"

"Grandma is so nice!"

"Then, how is Dad?"

Zhang Li hesitated and said, "Dad...Dad is half good."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Dingshan's mouth.

At this moment, Zhang Dingshan's cell phone rang.He picked it up and took a look, then his expression became serious unconsciously.

"Mom, Xiaoli, we have to leave tomorrow morning. We have a task."

Mother sighed and didn't ask any more questions.Zhang Li said: "No, no, I have to play well! I will continue to play tomorrow!"

Zhang Dingshan had no choice but to become a loving father, comforted him for a long time, and promised several conditions, which Zhang Li reluctantly accepted.

Early the next morning, the family left the playground.

In the evening, the three of them arrived at the gate of the thirteenth building of the headquarters of the Planetary Security Agency at about the same time.Greeting each other, the three of them entered the office together.

So the three of them saw Lu Qingliang sitting on the large boss chair with his back to several people.Hearing the sound, Lu Qingliang turned the boss's chair around, with a ruthless look on his face.

"Boys, are you ready for a new challenge?"

Zhang Dingshan smiled and said nothing, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly said: "Together, we will work together, and never...say defeat?"

He Wei stepped forward with a smirk, pressed Lu Qingliang's shoulder, and made a fist with the other hand. Only the middle finger was bent and protruded, and it ruthlessly pierced Lu Qingliang's head: "Bald Qiang is going to cut down trees again, right?" ? The bear duo is about to go out again, right?"

Lu Qingliang immediately screamed: "Forgive me, forgive me, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

The four laughed for a while, and finally returned to normal.

The time agreed with Li Wenhua was nine o'clock in the evening.The four of them were not in a hurry, they chatted for a while, and then they made an appointment to have dinner together.During the dinner, Lu Qingliang continued to complain about the trivial and boring logistics work, Zhang Dingshan had nothing to say, and He Wei talked about her itinerary during this period, expressing regret that she did not reach the summit of Mount Everest, and declared that the next Be sure to climb to the top once.Lu Ming complained about the helplessness of being forced to go on a blind date, and was ridiculed unanimously by several people.

Lu Qingliang said: "Lu Ming, why are you still dating? If you ask me, let's solve it internally. You can marry He Wei directly, and the problems between the two of them will be solved at once."

Zhang Dingshan smiled and said nothing, while Lu Ming's heart trembled: "Qingliang, you can't just make trouble just because you don't get beaten."

He Wei blushed in a rare way, and her eyes almost burst into flames: "I don't think you two want to live anymore, do you?"

After joking and joking for a while, the first dinner party after the second action team assembled finally came to an end.Seeing that the time was almost up, several people returned to the headquarters, rested for a while, and then collectively came to Li Wenhua's office.

"This mission, code name: Magic Eye. This is the file."

Li Wenhua handed over a portfolio to Zhang Dingshan.

"Let me briefly introduce the situation first, and you can read the specific details later."

Li Wenhua briefly introduced the situation, and said: "For this mission, there is one most fundamental requirement. It is not necessary to solve the root cause of the problem, but we must prevent the situation from expanding, and we must eliminate any hidden dangers as much as possible."

Hearing that this mission involved the CSK-9602 galaxy, Lu Ming fell silent.

He was also a student in the astronomy department and even got a master's degree.When it comes to professional ability, he who has changed his career is certainly not as good as those professional scientists.But of course he also knows more about this galaxy.

The high-definition star map of the magic eye galaxy has the ability to drive people crazy?

This... is really too unbelievable.

Lu Ming could also understand Li Wenhua's request.

Of course, the human world has no possibility of exerting any influence on the distant galaxies more than 1 million light-years away.Then, it is understandable that the highest goal of this mission is to "prevent the expansion of the situation and eliminate hidden dangers".

This is the limit of what the human world can do.

After completing the task handover, several people returned to the exclusive office area of ​​the second action team.After carefully reading the file, Zhang Dingshan looked at the other three people: "What do you think?"

He Wei pondered and said: "The tricky part of this case lies in the information disclosed by that psychologist, Luo Yang."

If only the high-definition star map of the CSK-9602 galaxy can drive people into madness through some unknown mechanism, then based on the principle of "it is not necessary to solve the root cause, only to prevent the expansion of the situation and eliminate hidden dangers is considered successful", it is forbidden to update the galaxy. For further observation, it is enough to block the existing data.

It's easy to do.After all, every telescope capable of taking such clear star maps is a big project for the entire human world.For example, the Mercury space telescope has attracted worldwide attention.Just an executive order that the telescope should no longer observe the galaxy CSK-9602, and no one will ever be able to do it again.

A telescope of this level cannot be owned by a private institution at all.No matter how strong the financial resources are, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not work without the permission of the world government.

It is nonsense and impossible to secretly launch a space telescope comparable to Mercury into space and conduct observations secretly.

But the tricky part is that Luo Yang's notes show that "he" has already come.

Mortals see gods, and gods see mortals.

"He" may have seen the earth, and has come to the earth.

It is impossible to predict what consequences this may cause.
