Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 288 Pragmatism
When Shu Changshan said the name "Magic Eye", Lu Ming's heart shook slightly.

Lu Ming was sure that he had never told Shu Changshan the name.However, with Shu Changshan's circle and energy, it is basically impossible to get in touch with these things.

——It's just a magic stick, it's unlikely to go to touch things in the astronomical circle, and it's even more impossible to know the investigation content of the second action team.

So... how could he know that the core of the case he is investigating is the Magic Eye galaxy?

Could it be that this Shu Chang Mountain really has some unbelievable magical power that can obtain information from the dark through some kind of strange connection?

Lu Ming's expression became more and more serious.

He adjusted his sitting posture and said seriously, "What did you mean by the code name?"

Shu Changshan said bitterly: "I can't tell you its real name, I can only tell you its code name. Even myself, I must always control myself not to think of this name in my mind. Even if I can't control it, The frequency should be as few as possible.”

"why?"

"The magic eye has extremely powerful power and a very high personality. Even if a creature far away from it inadvertently said its name, or even remembered its name too many times in its mind, it would cause this A creature had a strange connection with it, and was noticed by it."

This... this is too ridiculous.

Lu Ming was noncommittal about this.He neither believed nor outright disbelieved.

Although Lu Ming is a rational person who believes in science, he is also a pragmatist.If something outside science showed logic and causality, he didn't mind accepting the existence of another system.The reason why he was so firm in science in the past was only because there were too many cases that proved the falseness and absurdity of another system other than the so-called science time and time again, and the scientific system itself was proved time and time again, and it was visible and tangible. So, it has really changed the world in which human beings live.

Still the same sentence, if there is really enough solid evidence to prove that ghosts exist, then scientists must be the ones who are most interested.The Cthulhu world view is the same for Lu Ming and scientists.

The only question is whether the evidence is solid enough.

"Tell me what you know about the magic eye."

Shu Changshan recalled slowly, and said with a little emotion: "During the contact with the 'Light Chaser', I learned some information about the miraculous beings that exist in the universe intermittently. Contains something about the magic eye..."

Lu Ming interrupted his words: "Did the 'Light Chaser' tell you?"

"No, it didn't tell me." Shu Changshan shook his head: "Every time I communicate with the 'Light Chaser', it randomly instills a lot of information into me, um... It doesn't seem appropriate to say it is instilled, it is more accurate , be considered...

Just like when you see this coffee table, you will receive the information of the coffee table and know its shape, size, material and so on.I sensed the Light Chaser, so I naturally received this information.

The information is messy and messy, a lot of it doesn't make sense at all, but a small part is useful. "

Lu Ming nodded.

In the process of contact with mythical creatures, knowledge will be forcibly instilled, well, this is also very Cthulhu.

Shu Changshan continued: "The magic eye is one of the mythical creatures with the highest personality and ability in the starry sky. It has a very peculiar shape, and its body is as huge as a river system, and it also operates like a river system. It likes to follow the laws of physics and stay in the right place, generally disguising itself as a normal river system, only showing abnormalities in subtle parts, so as to attract the life that exists in all parts of the universe to observe itself.

If the creatures in the universe accidentally see it, if they see it clearly and clearly enough, they will be 'polluted' by its power, and will lose control and become monsters, and eventually their body and soul will be swallowed by it .

It also likes to create certain strange vortices and spread them throughout the vast universe.Some civilized spaceships with higher technological levels and the ability to travel between stars will be transported to the side or body of the magic eye if they are accidentally sucked away by the vortex.

What it likes to see the most is that the creatures carried in these spaceships carefully explore this brand new starry sky, and struggle to survive in this completely unfamiliar environment.It will continue to play tricks on these creatures, until these creatures completely collapse from fear and despair, completely crazy.After that, it will swallow these creatures together with their bodies and souls. "

Lu Ming was silent.

At this moment, listening to Shu Changshan, a magician, talking about things like science fiction-like alien civilization and space travel, he felt very strange.

If what Shu Changshan said is true, then this magic eye... is really vile.

Reason told Lu Ming that what Shu Changshan said was too absurd and not credible at all.But he also noticed that Shu Changshan actually hit something that happened in reality.

People who see the magic eye will go crazy and mutate into monsters.

These things have been real, and they have really happened before my own eyes.

Lu Ming asked: "The 'Light Chaser' told you that there are many alien civilizations in this universe?"

"Yes. There are many, many. Many of these civilizations are far more technologically advanced than we are."

Lu Ming said: "I believe that after the development of science and technology to a certain level, exploring the starry sky is the instinct of every civilization. If this is the case, doesn't that mean that basically every advanced civilization can observe the magic eye and will Affected by the magic eye?"

The Eye is a vast river system.It just exists in the cosmic space, and it can be seen from any direction.

With the current scientific and technological strength of human beings, it can be seen more clearly at a distance of more than 1 million light years.Then after the technology advances again, it is not difficult to see it clearly with deep space observation equipment that is beyond human civilization at a distance of one billion or even tens of billions of light years.

Also, such a galaxy that looks generally normal, but it is easy to detect abnormalities in some places, naturally attracts the interest of scientific researchers, and it is easy to attract their attention and let them explore this galaxy.

Because this means the output of scientific research results, which means new theories.

At the beginning, Zhou Tianyang's team decided to use the Mercury space telescope to observe it because of the relatively abnormal metal abundance in the Magic Eye galaxy, which is slightly different from the current theory of galaxy evolution in the human world, and to do this project.

From this point of view, every civilization will start to study it after it has developed to a certain level.In this way, it can be concluded that every civilization will be affected by it.

Shu Changshan sighed: "Yes. Every civilization can't escape. During this process, some civilizations perished, and some civilizations handled the matter smoothly and escaped catastrophe.

If I'm not wrong, you came to me because our civilization has been affected by the magic eye, right?Hmm... Maybe someone has lost control and turned into a monster at this moment. "

Lu Ming's heart trembled: "Since you know, why did you reject me in the first place?"

Shu Changshan smiled bitterly: "I'm just an ordinary person. The fate of civilization is too big for me to interfere with. I just want to live my own life, and I don't want to get involved with a top evil god like the magic eye. My instinct tells me, It's dangerous for me."

Lu Ming snorted: "How do other civilizations deal with the Demon Eye?"

Shu Changshan shook his head: "I don't know. All I know is that knowing that there are countless dangers and threats in this universe, being in awe of the universe and starry sky, and cautiously launching explorations are every civilization after it develops to a certain stage. A compulsory course. Only civilizations that follow this rule and have good luck are eligible to survive for a long time. Otherwise, they are doomed to perish."

"Do you have any suggestions for dealing with the magic eye?"

"What else can I suggest? Isn't this obvious?" Shu Changshan spread his hands: "Calm the situation as soon as possible, don't be curious, don't explore, don't get to the bottom of the truth, endure this time. In the future, if you can't provoke us, you can't hide? Hide That's it."

At this moment, Lu Ming did not fully trust Shu Changshan's words, not even half-believing.But he still realized that according to Shu Changshan's explanation, the best way for him to deal with the Demon Eye is to execute all those affected by the Demon Eye at the beginning of the incident, and then strictly prohibit any further observation of the Demon Eye galaxy .In this way, everything will be fine.

Even if those people were not executed, all members of Zhou Tianyang's team should be strictly guarded just like Luo Yang was imprisoned, to prevent any possibility of them escaping.

At that time, it was impossible for our own side to expect that they would mutate into monsters and escape.Arranging a few security guards on duty day and night in the mental hospital was already the limit that could be done at that time, and there was no reason to go further.

But... If our side knew the information Shu Changshan said at that time, although it is still unlikely to trust him, at least it is foreseeable to increase the security level to prevent risks.

In this way, it avoids the occurrence of monsters escaping, and also avoids the situation where monsters act inexplicably in the future, but our own side still does not know their real purpose.

It's a pity that now that I know these things, it's too late.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt a little annoyed.But after glancing at Shu Changshan, he sighed again in his heart.

This is just an ordinary person who is doing his best for his son, daughter, and his own illness.I really can't put higher demands on him with such big things as the so-called "civilization destiny".

That's the end of the matter, and there's no use complaining about past mistakes.When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with soil.

"But now... the situation has exploded."

Lu Ming revealed some facts of the case to Shu Changshan: "There are indeed people who mutated into monsters. Then, these monsters escaped our control. Moreover, these monsters did some things that we can't understand, and they seem to be offering sacrifices to the magic eye."

Shu Changshan frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed: "This is a bit troublesome. I want to take a look at the specific situation. Tell me everything you know."

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "You can go to our base with me first. We will discuss the specific situation when we get there. And...these things are top secret. To participate in this matter, I need to verify your ability. "

Only after confirming that Shu Changshan really possesses some kind of strange ability, which is really helpful to solve this matter, can Lu Ming really let him participate.

There is no basis for his words, and in the end he still has to show his real skills in order to make his side trust him.

Shu Changshan frowned, looking a little upset.

Lu Ming could understand his mood.

You want me to help you solve the problem, but what verification do you need?If you don't trust me, don't come to me at all.

Lu Ming looked at him quietly without saying anything.However, perhaps remembering the conditions that Lu Ming promised himself, Shu Changshan finally sighed and agreed.

"Okay. How do you want to verify?"

"What abilities do you have? What things can you do?"

"I don't have the slightest special ability. I just have some knowledge." Shu Changshan said directly: "To do something, I need to offer sacrifices to the light chaser, hold a ceremony, and let it help me complete it."

"Then, what can the light chasers do?"

"Change fate to a certain extent, let things develop in a good direction as much as possible; expel grievances; lift or impose curses; in the sense of mysticism, change the influence of a certain area or a certain building on the human body. This is what I have explored. The ability to come out, there must be others, but I don’t know the corresponding rituals and taboos, and I don’t want to study and explore any more. My current situation...doesn’t allow it.”

None of these things sound like abilities that can be measured with precise metrics.

Changing fate, how can it be considered a change?Is it necessary to measure luck in the form of an index like in the previous "bad luck" case?Wraith?Where are the wraiths?curse?Where did this find the experimental subject?As for "changing the impact of a certain area or a certain building on the human body", this is not Feng Shui, right?
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then gave up.How to design a set of experiments to verify Shu Changshan's ability can be discussed later, and we can discuss it together before deciding.No rush to make sure now.

"Go to our base first."

"Okay. I'll make arrangements first."

After Shu Changshan made arrangements for his family affairs, he followed Lu Ming to the temporary base where Luo Yang was detained, and was temporarily placed in a dormitory to rest.Lu Ming met Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, and notified Lu Qingliang, and started the video conference again.

"Of the four clergymen I saw, two were determined to be liars. One has not yet been identified, but the probability of being a liar is also high. Only this one named Shu Changshan, I think further verification is necessary."

　I'm sick, I will take a day off tomorrow, and I will resume updating the day after tomorrow. . . .
