Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 343 Flying Pasta
In this experiment, members of the second action team and the expert team tried more solutions.

One of the pigs, after coming into contact with Wang Quan and accepting Wang Quan's "curse", was immediately taken to another city in a vehicle, and the straight-line distance from Wang Quan reached about 200 kilometers.

The other pig has changed in the form of the curse.This time, investigators did not give Wang Quan ordinary paper and pen, but a touch screen and stylus.As for the statue, it was also replaced with another statue randomly purchased from a store of such items.

The statue was covered with a hood to prevent Wang Quan from discovering that the statue had been replaced and causing unpredictable changes.

The sewing needle was also replaced with a wooden barbecue skewer.

Under the guidance and comfort of the interrogators, Wang Quan still carried out the two experiments obediently.

In the first experiment, the pig that was transported to another city showed no abnormalities.Except for a little bit of agitation due to the change in the environment, the rest is normal, it is still very healthy, eats enough and sleeps soundly.

This proved that even if he was cursed, as long as he stayed away from Blue Lake City before the curse took effect, he could still save his life.

But it is unclear whether this is because of the distance from Wang Quan, or because the distance from Blue Lake City is far enough to avoid the curse.This requires further verification.

As for the second experiment, after drawing the image of the pig with the stylus and the touch screen, and praying in front of the replaced idol, and piercing the touch screen several times with a wooden barbecue stick-of course, it did not pierce , just made a pricking action, and that night, the pig still showed certain abnormalities, and the degree gradually increased over time, and finally committed suicide.

This means that Wang Quan's curse does not seem to have anything to do with the tools he used.It also means that the source of the specialness lies in himself.

In order to further verify this guess, the second action team specially assigned an investigator to reproduce the whole process of a curse using the props Wang Quan had used before.

Another pig was herded in and interacted with the investigator.Afterwards, he used the pen and paper used by Wang Quan to outline the image of the pig, and then knelt down and prayed in front of the statue obtained by Wang Quan's family, and pierced it with the sewing needle used by Wang Quan. portrait.

But the pig ended up showing nothing unusual.

In Wang Quan's experiments, the only thing that remained constant was himself, everything else changed, and the curse worked.

In the experiments conducted by the investigator, the only thing that changed was himself, and nothing else changed.As a result, the curse did not take effect.

The comparison of the two completely proves that "the special thing lies in Wang Quan himself".

However, another experiment after that made this conclusion face doubts.

This time, the second action team did not provide Wang Quan with experimental props.After still making a pig come into contact with him, the interrogator said: "Wang Quan, I also want to kill this pig. You help me kill him. May I buy you a beer?"

"Okay."

Hearing the word beer, Wang Quan immediately became happy: "Give me paper and pen, as well as statues and sewing needles."

"This……"

The interrogator pretended to be embarrassed: "It happens to be gone at home, can you kill it without using those things? Don't worry, I will buy you a drink whether it succeeds or not."

"Okay, then I'll try."

Wang Quan closed his eyes and seemed to be meditating.After a while, he opened his eyes hesitantly: "I have already cursed it."

"it is good."

By the next day, the pig was still alive without incident.

The three members of the second operation team and the investigators fell into confusion.

If Wang Quan himself is the source of the specialness, why can't he complete the curse without the aid of props?If those props also have special functions, why can the ordinary things after replacing them also play a role?
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming said slowly: "I guess it might be like this. Maybe those props themselves don't have any special function. Their function is just to provide some 'sense of ritual' to assist Wang Quan, so that Wang Quan will be able to make his life easier." Wang Quan can concentrate more. Perhaps this concentration is the most critical part."

"It's possible."

Sketching images of victims or victimized pigs allows Wang to concentrate on recalling the victim's appearance.Praying in front of the statue and piercing with a needle can make Wang Quan's thoughts and ideas of killing the other party stronger and clearer.

This is the function of the sense of ritual.

"If that's the case, images drawn by others, or photographs, should serve the same purpose."

"You can try it."

So this time, the investigators did not ask Wang Quan to draw it himself, but directly gave him a photo of the experimental pig.And clearly told him that this time it was a great god named "Flying Spaghetti" who made him kneel down.

The flying pasta god provided to Wang Quan is like a twisted ball of wool.

This deity was created by atheists and materialists to mock religion.But of course it is impossible for Wang Quan to know about such a niche thing.

In order to increase the importance of the God of Flying Spaghetti in Wang Quan's heart, the investigators told him that the God of Feitian Spaghetti is the creation god of the entire universe. A gadget made by the spaghetti god when he was bored.

In short, the God of Flying Spaghetti is extremely great, and worshiping the God of Fulu is definitely not as effective as worshiping the God of Flying Spaghetti.

The information was processed by professional psychologists and psychiatrists, and told in the most acceptable language to Wang Quan. Sure enough, Wang Quan immediately abandoned the God of Fulu and worshiped the God of Flying Spaghetti.

So this experiment started under the watchful eye of Flying Pasta God.

Wang Quanman knelt in front of Feitian Spaghetti God devoutly, and pierced the photo with a knife.

The next day, the pig crashed and died in the cage, and the curse took effect.

Lu Ming's guess was verified.

Afterwards, Wang Quan was taken to another city under strict isolation and protection, and the experiment was started again in another city.

But this time, no matter how hard he tried, Wang Quan's curse was ineffective.Whether pigs or sheep, dogs or cattle, all safe and sound.

This again reveals an important clue.

What is special is not only Wang Quan himself, but also Blue Lake City.Of course, it is currently unknown which aspect of Blue Lake City caused this special situation.

After confirming that Wang Quan's ability had failed outside of Blue Lake City, he was brought back and started another round of experiments.

In this experiment, the cursed objects were changed from animals to other things.

The first is a tree randomly selected from a forest.

Of course, before the experiment was carried out, the tree was carefully inspected by plant experts to confirm that it was very healthy, and it was closely protected to prevent accidents.

Wang Quan was brought in front of the tree, and under the leadership of the investigators, had some interactions with the tree.

The investigators patted the tree with a bit of annoyed tone: "This tree scratched my clothes and bullied me. But I dare not cut it down. Wang Quan, my friend, help me kill it and let it die Come on, I'll treat you to roast chicken."

"If you want to be fatter, take two more bottles of beer!"

"it is good."

Wang Quan, who was taken to the experimental base and accepted strict guards again, started to curse again.

That night, the originally healthy tree was blown off by a sudden gust of wind.

It snapped off right at the root, making it impossible to live again.

Everyone fell into doubts.

Obviously, being broken by a strong wind is considered to be killed by an external force.It's not suicide by any means.

But the tree was dead after all.So, is the curse successful or unsuccessful?
To explore this question, the sample size needs to be increased.After all, it may be an accident or a coincidence that one tree was blown down by the wind during the experiment, but if ten trees are selected and all ten trees are blown down, it is unlikely to be a coincidence.

In the following experiments, the investigators did not provide additional protection to the selected trees, but just observed them secretly.

The final conclusion dismissed the possibility that this was a coincidence.Because the next five selected trees of different sizes and varieties all died of various reasons on the night of accepting the curse.

A tree was struck by lightning and caught fire and burned to death. A tree was knocked down by a car out of control and died. Someone dumped some kind of chemical at the root of a tree. The other tree was directly crushed by a big tree next to it, and the last tree was secretly cut down at night.

"From this experiment, it seems that suicide is not the only means of death for the cursed. But suicide may be the most economical, convenient and simple means. When suicide cannot be used to end life, other means of death will be used In short, death is certain, but how to die is not certain.”

Lu Ming believed that even if his side provided strict protection for these trees to prevent any man-made accidents, they would eventually die due to unavoidable natural accidents.

Like the first tree to be broken by the wind.

What followed were experiments with inanimate objects.

This time, Wang Quan was taken to an abandoned courtyard.

There are three adobe houses in this courtyard, all the windows are broken, and there are air leaks from all sides.

"Wang Quan, help me bring down all these houses, and I'll buy you a drink."

Wang Quanquan looked embarrassed: "This... I don't know if it will work."

"Try it."

"it is good."

For the sake of the wine, Wang Quan reluctantly agreed.Back at the place of detention, he cursed again.

Lu Ming was also very curious about the results of this experiment.

A house is of course a dead thing, lifeless.Previous experiments have shown that Wang Quan's curse can cause the death of people, animals or plants.

So how should the house die?
That night, the abandoned courtyard that did not receive special protection was directly washed away in a burst of heavy rain.The walls and houses have all fallen down, and it can no longer be called a courtyard.

"Is this how inanimate objects 'die'?"

Lu Ming thought silently in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said: "Based on the current experimental results, Wang Quan's so-called curse causing death is still a bit one-sided. I think a more accurate description should be that it causes the cursed person or the cursed object to die. , disappear conceptually."

"Conceptually? Disappear? How to say?"

He Wei was a little puzzled and couldn't understand this statement.

"Is there any physical difference between the second before a person dies and the second after death?"

Lu Ming asked a question.

He Wei thought for a moment again, then shook her head: "There is no difference."

The human body is still composed of those atoms and molecules, or those elements.On a physical level, it doesn't make any difference, or only very slightly.

"But the concept of being a 'person' disappears. It's not a person anymore, it's just a corpse."

Lu Ming said: "You, me, captain, Lu Ming, He Wei, Zhang Dingshan, house, car, these specific references are actually very imprecise on the physical level. For example, from the physical level, He Wei The name, specifically refers to what existence?"

"Of course it's me."

"What is 'you' in the physical sense? Is it a collection of specific elements and atoms?"

"It should be possible to say so."

He Wei hesitated.

"However, people need to eat and excrete every day. They also sweat, breathe, and exchange substances with the outside world all the time. They also constantly shed skin flakes, etc. Every minute and every second The specific composition of you is different from the last moment. I heard that every few years, almost all the components that make up the human body will be renewed. So, which existences are you specifically referring to?"

He Wei fell into deep thought.For a moment, she shook her head: "I don't know."

Zhang Dingshan said quietly: "You or me, or any name, or a house, a tree, or a car, do not have a strictly corresponding physical entity. Every person or object only exists conceptually. Just like He Wei Strictly speaking, the name only refers to 'a collection of elements arranged and changed in a specific way', not to 'a real human body'."

Lu Ming said: "Yes. Among them, the most important thing is not the elements or atoms themselves, but the arrangement and operation of elements or atoms. We can probably call it 'information'. This is the concept of an object sexual essence.

The substance itself is not important, but the information of the substance is important.It is this information that allows a conceptual person to exist. "

It's like strictly decomposing a person's body, extracting every element that constitutes him, and then mixing these elements, you can get a mixture that is completely consistent with the human body.

But this hybrid obviously cannot be called a person.

This is where information matters.

"Lu Ming, are you saying that Wang Quan's curse does not actually kill people or destroy inanimate objects, but just makes the information of the cursed object disappear? Uh, or, in other words, the concept is no longer valid?"

"Yes."
