Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 362 Destined
After finalizing the follow-up action plan, the second action team dispatched again and randomly selected a tree at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Blue Lake City.

The height of this tree is about six or seven meters, and the diameter of the trunk is about 20 centimeters.Leafy and very healthy.

The conclusion of being very healthy was confirmed after detailed measurements by a dedicated team of botanists.This means that if there is no accident, it cannot die in a short period of time.

After selecting the target, under heavy security, Wang Quan, who was detained in the base for investigation, was brought out again.

During this period of time, under the attack of bottles of beer, roast chickens and ducks, Wang Quan has become good friends with the researcher who studied him, and Wang Quan never gave the researcher's instructions. They are all obedient and very cooperative.

At this moment, the researcher brought Wang Quan to the randomly selected tree.

"This tree blocks the sunlight, and the things I plant here can't grow well." The researcher made an excuse casually: "Wang Quan, can you help me get rid of it?"

Wang Quan said excitedly: "Your business is mine. Don't worry, I'll help you get rid of it."

After "interacting" with the tree, Wang Quan was brought back to the base again.The researcher gave him paper and pen, and he began to sketch, and then curse.

At the same time, next to the tree, a specially mobilized team of botanists has installed various monitoring equipment on the tree.Not only that, but every 10 minutes, they will collect some specimens from the tree for research to confirm whether the state of the tree has changed.

Of course, all these observations and research measures have a premise, and they are all carried out under the premise that it will not cause a major impact on the tree—at least it will not cause the tree to die.

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming were in the tent built next to them, and they were also looking at the tree, waiting for the changes that might happen to it.

Jingle Bell……

The phone rang.Zhang Dingshan got through, nodded slightly, and hung up the phone.

"Wang Quan has completed the curse." Zhang Dingshan said: "Based on past experience, there is a high probability that changes will occur on this tree before tonight. Just wait."

"Yes."

On the field experiment vehicle, the botanists frequently inspected the specimens from that tree and observed the data provided by the monitoring equipment.

Time slipped by every minute and every second.Before I knew it, it was evening.And the sky also quietly gathered dark clouds, it seemed that it was about to rain.

"This is normal." He Wei said: "The weather forecast originally predicted that there will be rain tonight."

Lu Ming nodded.At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the field test vehicle.

The three of Lu Ming walked over quickly, and saw several botanists facing the inspection equipment, looking at some parameters on their faces with shock.

"what's going on?"

"This tree, this tree...it's dead."

"What? Dead?"

Lu Ming was a little puzzled.He turned his head subconsciously, and saw the tree tens of meters away, as usual, unchanged from before.

It is still firmly rooted in the ground, and the huge canopy is full of fresh green leaves.Under the breeze blowing, the crown of the tree swayed slowly, making a rattling sound.

This... how can it be said to be dead?
"How is this possible? We collect specimens every 10 minutes. The specimens 10 minutes ago showed that everything was normal. How could the current specimens show that it is dead? What went wrong? Xiao Wang! Take another specimen! "

Zhang Dingshan stepped forward and said solemnly: "Professor Li, what is your standard for judging the death of a tree?"

The researcher called Xiao Wang hurried to collect the specimens, and Professor Li explained: "My habit is to treat a tree as a whole. When it loses one or several important functions, It is judged to be dead."

He Wei murmured: "But this tree obviously hasn't changed at all, its leaves are still so many, so green..."

Professor Li said: "The criterion for judging human death is brain death. But you should know that after the death of the human brain, some nerve cells can still survive for several hours. After some people die, their nails and hair will continue to grow. This means that the corresponding parts also have cells alive.

From a partial point of view, there are still cells alive, but from the overall point of view, this person is undoubtedly dead.

The same is true of my criteria for judging the life and death of this tree.The previous specimens showed that it had lost a very important function, and the rest, if it was still alive, was only partial.As a whole the tree is dead.

Now it looks unchanged from before, which is no surprise.When a person just dies, there is no difference from when he was alive, right, the body is still warm.Now this tree, after it has died, is similar to the stage when people still have a little warmth.

It's just, strange... It was fine before, how could it be possible to die suddenly? "

Professor Li was puzzled.The researcher named Xiao Wang brought new specimens, and after re-examination, Professor Li became more and more puzzled.

"The previous analysis is correct, it is indeed dead. It's really strange..."

As of now, there have been no surprises.The tree was still standing there.

But, is it already a "corpse" at this moment?
But why?
Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice, "What is the cause of death of this tree?"

Professor Li looked at Zhang Dingshan in surprise: "As I said, a certain function is lost. It's like the heart stops beating, and the brain can't direct the body organs to work."

Zhang Dingshan paused, and asked another way: "What is the reason for the loss of that function? Why is this function lost?"

Professor Li shook his head: "I don't know. That's why I say it's strange... There are many possible reasons for this result, such as radiation, such as certain chemicals, such as..."

As soon as Professor Li finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, and all the trees that were blown shook.The sky became more and more gloomy, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, and happened to hit the tree randomly selected by the side.

With a click, a thick branch suddenly broke and fell from the tree.

Professor Li was dumbfounded.After a while, he murmured: "Like a lightning strike..."

Lu Ming's expression suddenly became serious.

Lightning strike?Could lightning strikes also cause the loss of that vital function necessary to keep a tree alive?

Before, without any changes, the tree lost this function inexplicably, and was judged to be "dead" by Professor Li. Now, is there a reason?

The reason turned out to be a lightning strike?Moreover, the reason for the lightning strike happened after the tree died?
Could it be that the inversion of causality turned out to be true?The trees that our side experimented with before died first, and then there were lightning strikes, chemicals, felling and other reasons later?

"Professor Li, you are busy first, let's go first."

The three of them left the experimental vehicle and returned to the tent.

"Is it really a reversal of cause and effect?"

Lu Ming murmured: "It's unbelievable, it's too unbelievable. One experiment may not be rigorous enough. Let's try again. This time find a dead object."

Zhang Dingshan said silently: "Alright."

This time, the second operation team found an abandoned factory building on the outskirts of Blue Lake City.Wang Quan was brought over again, and under the order of the researcher, he cursed the factory building.

After that, the second action team commanded the investigators to install various detection devices on the abandoned factory building to monitor the temperature, wind direction, wind speed and other data here in real time.

It was dark now.Light rain began to fall in the sky, and the temperature also dropped. The raindrops were accompanied by strong winds and hit the person's body, which was icy cold.

Crashing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Lu Ming looked at the instrument with some surprise.It shows that at this moment, there is no strong wind enough to cause the factory building to collapse, or other reasons.

But it just fell, fell for no reason, and turned into a wreck.

The next moment, Lu Ming saw the numbers on the dashboard suddenly increase.

A strong wind appeared.And it has completely reached the level of blowing down a factory building.

But... before it appeared, the factory had already collapsed.

"Yes, did the 'fate' of the collapse of the factory appear in advance? The reason for its collapse was the gust of wind. When the result of the collapse of the factory was brought forward, the reason appeared later..."

No further experiments were necessary.This experiment with plants and dead objects is enough to explain many problems.

meeting room.He Wei informed Lu Qingliang of the results of the two tests conducted today.

Lu Qingliang slowly said: "If it is true that cause and effect are reversed, and Wang Quan's curse does not cause a person to die, but to advance the 'result' of this person's death before the 'cause', then... I'm afraid we It is useless to do anything.

The result has been doomed, the fate has been doomed.This is an unchangeable destiny. "

The result has actually happened.What happens to those close to the dead at this moment is only a belated "cause".

Everything is predestined and everything cannot be changed.

That being the case, even if you can mobilize more resources and do more things, what is the use?
In the face of this fate that has already been doomed and has already happened, no matter what one's own side does, it is meaningless.

Lu Ming felt a huge coercion, as if he was standing alone in front of a [-]-meter-high tsunami, as if he was standing alone in front of collapsing mountains.

No matter how you do it, no matter what you do, it is useless and meaningless.

What is destined to happen, will happen.

He Wei murmured: "In this way, those close relatives of the dead who have not yet suffered bad luck, are they... irrescuable? They are bound to suffer bad luck, be in a miserable situation, and even die miserably? They, they... "

He Wei murmured, her voice gradually became so low that it disappeared.She was already a little speechless.

If it was a real enemy, He Wei would never be afraid.In some cases, He Wei was never afraid of mutated alien monsters.

But at this moment, she couldn't feel any resistance.

How to fight?As a single person, how could it be possible to fight against the doomed "destiny"?
Lu Ming was also silent.While he was silent, his brain was still running rapidly.

In a moment, he found a loophole.

"No, it's not fate. If Wang Quan's curse can't kill a person, but just make the future tragic fate of this person appear at this moment...how could it be possible that everyone he cursed happened to be a person with a tragic future fate? ?

Just like today, we randomly selected a tree, randomly selected an abandoned factory building, and then asked Wang Quan to curse. Could it be such a coincidence that we happened to choose a tree or factory building that was 'destined' to die in the future? "

There will definitely be people with miserable fate in the future.But how could it be that the people Wang Quan chose as the target of the curse happened to be everyone?

This is not reasonable.

Lu Qingliang looked at Lu Ming, and said quietly, "Is there a possibility that meeting Wang Quan and being cursed is also part of fate? Has it been...doomed?"

Lu Ming was startled.

He really didn't think about this kind of statement before.

According to this statement, it is not that everyone cursed by Wang Quan happens to have a miserable future fate, but it is precisely because these people have a miserable future fate that they will meet Wang Quan just by chance. Become a cursed victim.

That makes sense.

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, but still shook his head.

"The bottom layer of the universe is random. Every person, every pig, every tree has infinite possibilities in the future. The only difference lies in the size of the possibility. There is no predestined future and destiny at all."

Even if it is a pig raised in a professional pig farm - its future of being slaughtered after being raised is obviously very probable, but there are also very small probabilities of other fates.

For example, being selected as a breeding pig to gain a longer lifespan, for example, getting sick and dying during the breeding process, for example, the pig farm closed down, the piglets were sold, met a pig lover, and became a pet pig...

Before the future happens, who can determine its fate?
"However, the results have clearly happened—this is always true, right? If it's not fate, if the future is not already doomed, how can the result be doomed?"

Lu Ming pondered for a long time before saying: "There are too many unknowns in this universe, and it is also possible that "the bottom layer of the universe is random" is just our immature and superficial understanding of the universe. is doomed.

If this is the case, then...the dead who were cursed to commit suicide, their close ones, are really hopeless. "
