Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 294 Ceremony
With the issuance of the blockade order, except for the highways and railways that are still full of vehicles, this area has completely quieted down.

People were all blocked in the village, or in their institutions, and no one came out.Even if there is no network signal at this moment, you can't communicate with the outside world, you can't play games, you can't swipe your phone.

Even the most daring and rebellious people in the past obediently obeyed the order.No way, military exercises are no joke.I heard that this military exercise has a death target. If you accidentally encounter it, you will die in vain if you are beaten to death.

It only takes about ten days, and besides, there is a lot of compensation, so just cooperate obediently, why bother to cause trouble.

After completing the blockade and completing the exploration, Shu Changshan started the preparations for the final ceremony alone.

Lu Ming saw that Shu Changshan ate very little at first, he only ate some vegetables, fruits, grains and the like, and he didn't eat any meat at all.

According to him, meat contains some kind of resentment from animals, which will affect his perception of spiritual power.

In terms of drinking, I only drink plain water.Normally, I only shut myself in the room, basically not in contact with people.Even the delivery of food is delivered to the door and let him take it by himself.

According to him, this is to avoid being affected by his inspiration as much as possible.The principle is probably similar to that if a person smells a smell for a long time, the person will gradually lose the perception of the smell, the so-called "living in abalone for a long time without knowing its smell".

If you want to improve the sensitivity of your sense of smell, it is best to stay in an odorless environment for a long time, so that even if there is only a little peculiar smell, you can smell it keenly.

Lu Ming didn't understand these things, but he still chose to cooperate with him as much as possible.So the second action team issued a new order. Normally, unless permission is given, no one is allowed to approach him within 100 meters.Even when delivering meals, I chose to use robots to deliver them.

In addition, Shu Changshan also frequently held various ceremonies, kept closing his eyes and chanting words, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Time slipped away quietly under such circumstances.During this period of time, Shu Changshan was not idle, and neither were the members of the second operation team.

First of all, they were entrusted to Lu Qingliang to find them before, and the rest were similar to Shu Changshan, who had special characteristics.

After several days of searching, Lu Qingliang found a total of six.But unfortunately, in the follow-up further contact, analysis and investigation, these six people were all confirmed to be not special.

Don't say that like Shu Changshan, he refused to contact his own side at the beginning. When he couldn't avoid contact, he directly disclosed top-secret information such as "magic eyes" and "mutation", and later found the monsters accurately. The internal organs of wild beasts that were buried during the sacrifice, and the six people Lu Qingliang found later, he couldn't even tell what kind of difficulties his side was facing at the moment.

One of them even claimed that it was because he had offended a certain great immortal in the deep mountains that he needed to do nine or eighty-one days of Dafa to appease the great immortal's anger.Of course, the cost is too high for ordinary people to imagine.

In desperation, Lu Qingliang had to give up this search.Operation Two's attempt to break out of the current "putting all eggs in one basket" failed again.

Apart from Lu Qingliang, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming have been trying to investigate this case through conventional means.

The two tried to find some clues through further biological analysis, astrophysics interpretation of the CSK-9602 galaxy, the identity background of the victims, etc., but the final result was still failure.

After several days of detailed combing, no new valuable clues were found.

As for He Wei, during this period of time, she has been formulating a plan to capture the monsters.The members of the second team of the operation assume that the monsters will really hold the guidance ceremony on that day, and that Shu Changshan can really lock the location of the monsters at that time, so what method should our side use to capture them and ensure that all of them are captured? Catch and not let one escape?

Lu Qingliang was in a group, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were in a group, and He Wei was in a group. The four of them made three preparations in total.But from the current point of view, our side can only continue to place our hopes on Shu Changshan.

Ten days passed like this.When Shu Changshan prophesied that the day when the monsters would hold a guiding ceremony came, Lu Qingliang, Lu Ming, and Zhang Dingshan finally gave up on the previous attempt completely, and devoted all their energy to the current action. middle.

Shu Changshan, who had been "closed" for ten days, finally came out.At this moment, his footsteps are a little sloppy, his body is a little swollen, and even walking seems to be stepping on clouds.

Lu Ming could tell at a glance that he was hungry.

Anyone who does not eat any meat for ten consecutive days, and eats very little other things, will be like this for ten consecutive days of starvation.

But at this moment, Shu Changshan's spirit is unexpectedly strong.His eyes were piercing, and his thoughts were quick and clear.

"Mr. Shu, everything is ready on our side."

Shu Changshan nodded: "The time for the monsters to hold the ceremony should be between 08:30 pm and [-]:[-] am. They will pick out two to three hours to hold the ceremony during this period of time. In this way, starting from [-]:[-], you arrange a helicopter to drive me around the edge of the blockade. I will perform a ceremony in the helicopter to sense the fluctuation of spiritual power. Once there is a result, I will notify you immediately."

"it is good."

The three of them gathered the guards who were going to participate in the search and suppression battle, and got them ready for the battle. They were busy, and the time came to 08:30 in the evening.

The sun has completely set, there is no moon in the sky, and there are not even a few stars.Under such circumstances, at the temporary base, two helicopter formations, more than [-] helicopters took off roaringly, and flew towards the distant night sky.

Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were in the same helicopter as Shu Changshan.Apart from these three people, a driver, and a guard, there was no one else in this helicopter that could carry more than ten people.

According to Shu Changshan's previous instructions, the helicopter began to circle slowly around the edge of the blockade, and tried to maintain a stable flight, trying to ensure that the plane was not turbulent.Shu Changshan also started his own ceremony in the belly of the aircraft that had been emptied of an open space.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming, Shu Changshan unfastened his seat belt, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the ritual materials he carried with him one by one, and put them on the small table in front of him.

It is not easy to place an altar in the cabin, so a folding table can only be used instead.However, according to Shu Changshan, except for some ceremonies with special needs, it doesn't matter if ordinary ceremonies use special altars or small table boards, it's all the same.

In addition to the ritual materials, Shu Changshan also brought several plastic bowls with suction cups on the bottom.At this moment, these plastic bowls are adsorbed on the small table to prevent the plane from being turbulent and causing spills.

Afterwards, he took out the mixture of the newborn baby's umbilical cord blood and the dying person's blood, and poured it into the plastic bowl in the middle.In another plastic bowl, the stomach pouches of some animals were placed.

Those stomach pouches vary in size, the small ones are no more than a few centimeters, and the largest ones are about a decimeter.Some of them are complete, some are incomplete, and the only thing they have in common is that if they are regarded as "ingredients", they should not be qualified.

They are too shriveled and skinny, and of poor quality.Apparently, their owners didn't have a good life.

This is the stomach bag of an animal that Lu Ming searched for for a long time before finding it from another hemisphere that was in the transitional climate between winter and spring.If they were of any better quality, hell be damned.

The third plastic bowl contained some yellow flowers and brown sap.

Under the not-so-bright light, with the faint shadows of mountains and rivers outside the window of the plane, Shu Changshan, who was sitting cross-legged, was full of piety and solemnity.

He put the yellow petals on the stomach pouch, poured some blood from newborns and dying people on the stomach pouch, and began to chant in a low voice.

This time, because of the proximity, Lu Ming clearly heard what he was reciting.

"Soul of the tragic death, I brought you flowers and blood, brought you the joy of new life, the desolation of dying, and the revival of all things..."

He picked up the bowl of brown juice squeezed from the root of the plant, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then smeared some blood on his palms, eyebrows, and left cheek, still chanting incessantly.

"At this moment, I am integrated with you, I can feel your spirit, I know that you have integrated into this world, you are everywhere, you know everything..."

Shu Changshan chanted so slowly.There seems to be a strange rhythm in that voice, combined with the roar of the helicopter propeller, the occasional wind, the dark earth and sky outside, and the occasional shadows of mountains and rivers, at this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel There is a strange feeling.

It seems that some mysterious and unknowable force is spreading in this space.

"Psychological hints, illusions, must be illusions."

Lu Ming warned himself like this.

Shu Changshan has been reciting in a low voice for about 10 minutes.In the back, his reciting voice became lower and lower, lower and lower, and finally it was as low as humming, and it was completely unclear what he was reciting.

After that, he suddenly moved.Lu Ming saw that he suddenly mixed the contents of the three bowls—stomach bag, blood, flower petals and juice, and stirred them roughly with one hand, then grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth to chew. stand up.

Lu Ming's eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he instinctively felt a little nauseous.

Those petals and rhizome juices are okay, no matter how you say it can be regarded as pure natural and pollution-free.The blood taken from newborns and dying people, if you ignore the germs that may be carried in it, is actually okay, isn’t it just blood, and there are many things about bleeding gums and then swallowing your own blood. It's barely acceptable.

But the stomach pouches of those animals... Lu Ming really couldn't accept it.No matter how psychological construction is done, I can't accept it.

Those are all raw... and they're all taken from dead beasts, this thing...

Lu Ming controlled the slight churning in his stomach, and staggered his gaze.

Swallowing those things into his stomach a few times, Shu Changshan's movements returned to the slowness before.He sat cross-legged, facing the small table and started singing again.

"Spirit that is everywhere, you are the origin of all things, you are the origin of heaven and earth, you are the origin of the starry sky, you are everywhere, omnipotent..."

Still the same as before, the voice was loud at first, then gradually became smaller, and finally turned into humming, which was completely inaudible.

Lu Ming looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock.The time window for the monsters to hold the guidance ceremony has arrived.If what Shu Changshan said is true, then from this moment on, the monsters may start the ritual at any time.

Helicopters are still advancing around the edge of the blockade.Shu Changshan sat there cross-legged, motionless.Lu Ming suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart, and still waited silently.

Looking at the city lights in the distance and the shadows of the mountains and rivers in another direction, Lu Ming's thoughts began to fly uncontrollably at this moment.

It is undeniable that no matter how many doubts there are about Shu Changshan, since our side came into contact with him, he has indeed shown many extremely miraculous things.And for all of this, at least at this moment, Lu Ming couldn't find any other explanation other than the so-called "Cthulhu System".

Even the scientific system that he has always believed in is completely powerless in the face of these events.

Well, if this time, Shu Changshan really relied on his so-called "ceremony" to accomplish something that is impossible under normal circumstances and logic, measured by the scientific system, he... can really do it Do you deny the existence of this system?
However, if the Cthulhu system exists, the scientific system will collapse.The two are completely incompatible.

Science is a set of methodologies, emphasizing logic and empiricism.However, the Cthulhu system does not talk about logic or evidence at all.

Looking at the darkness outside the window, Lu Ming gradually felt a little dazed.

Time is still passing quietly.In the blink of an eye, it was already twelve midnight.There are still four hours before the time window passes.

On the contrary, Shu Changshan sat cross-legged all the time, motionless, and did not stop chanting.I don't know if my legs are numb or my voice is hoarse.

Regardless of whether he has real skills or not, at least this set of kung fu makes Lu Ming feel ashamed.

Just when Lu Ming was getting impatient, Shu Changshan, who had not moved for a long time, finally moved.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Dingshan.

"I feel the fluctuations of evil forces. They are nearby, about twenty kilometers to the northwest..."

　I will take a day off tomorrow. . . . .
