Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 363 Temperature of Civilization

So far, Operation Two has really taken whatever countermeasures it can think of that might be useful in trying to save the kinsmen of the damned.

When the cursed person had just been cursed, the cursed person could avoid being cursed by leaving Blue Lake City.But once the cursed person dies, the close ones cannot avoid the bad luck anyway.

Secret protection, centralized monitoring, changing name, household registration, moving away from Blue Lake City, the farthest and even reaching the other side of the earth-this is the farthest place on the earth from Blue Lake City, etc., etc., but looking at it now Come on, it's all useless.

It didn't help at all.

But now, after speculating on the possibility of "fate", this situation has also been theoretically explained.

Since it is fate, since it is predestined, it is obvious that no matter what you do, it is impossible to be useful.Otherwise, how could it be called destiny?
At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly thought of the security guard Zeng Jian who was also cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide while investigating the case.

Before committing suicide, he left a suicide note, which read "Everything is destiny".Because of this, Director Li Wenhua named the case "Fate" and let his own side take over the investigation.

According to our own investigation to the present, the "true" sequence of this incident should be the "result" of Zeng Jian many years later, that is, a series of incidents, including "the incident of beating others was exposed many years ago", " The only house turned into a dilapidated house", "the father is violent and impossible to get better", "the genetic disease is onset, it cannot be cured and can only be controlled" and other incidents. All of these belonged to Zeng Jian at that time.

Devastated by fate, Zeng Jian couldn't stand it all. He lost all hope and realized that the situation in the future could only get worse and never get better.He lost all courage to live and finally surrendered to fate.After leaving a suicide note that "everything is fate", he committed suicide.

"Fate, fate..."

Lu Ming muttered this word.

"what should we do?"

Lu Qingliang asked this question.

No one could answer him.But at this moment, the answer that seems to be the only one that can be chosen by one's own side has surfaced in the hearts of several people at the same time.

Case closed.

There are very good reasons for choosing to close the case at this moment, and it seems extremely necessary.

First of all, even if the "reversal of cause and effect" speculated by one's own side is wrong, the fact is that the curse spreads. At present, the curse only spreads to the close ones of the victim, and will not have any impact on the rest of the people.

And if the fact is indeed "cause and effect reversed", it will not affect the rest of the people.

This means that from the beginning to the end, this incident has always been maintained within a very small range.

——The fate of thousands of people seems to be a big thing, and there are a lot of people, but it is insignificant compared to the entire civilization.

In the history of human civilization, it is unknown how many people died on a large scale.Even a war that lasts for decades at a time can cause hundreds of millions of deaths, and we have not seen what will happen to civilization.

Secondly, our own investigation has been carried out so far, and it is really exhausted, and we can no longer continue.

It's not that we don't want to save the fate of those people.It's that we just can't do anything about it.We've tried everything we can think of that might work, but to no avail.We don't care about the consumption of funds at all. We even spent a lot of time to protect all the targets secretly. The consumption of funds is like running water, but it is still useless.

We've all done it to this extent, and if it still doesn't work, what else can we do?
As for those who may be affected after the case is closed, the close friends of the damned who are almost doomed to a tragic fate...we can only say sorry.

We'd love to save you too, but sorry, there's really nothing we can do.

"Close the case."

He Wei sighed, and finally said the word.

Lu Ming's heart was full of anger and unwillingness, but he was so powerless that he couldn't even utter words to stop him.

Lu Qingliang seemed to be talking to himself, as if explaining himself or someone else, and said, "Supernatural cases...it's normal to find no results. Which team doesn't have many unsolved cases. The two of us The people in the team are not gods, how could they investigate every case clearly."

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "Then, let's vote. Those who agree to close the case raise their hands."

He Wei and Lu Qingliang raised their hands.

Lu Ming struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Don't close the case yet. Give me another two days, let me think about it, and think about it again."

Two agreed and one opposed.The most critical vote fell on Zhang Dingshan.

He is the captain, and his vote has higher authority.If he also objected, the motion to close the case would fail.If he agrees, then the case can only be closed.

Zhang Dingshan pondered in silence for a long time, then slowly shook his head.

"Don't close the case. Continue the investigation."

"team leader……"

He Wei called him in a low voice worriedly.Zhang Dingshan pressed his hands down, stopped He Wei from further words, and said seriously: "I know, even if the case is not closed, we don't know what else we can do now. But...

For example, if we are a drowning person, about to drown.We were propelled forward by the turbulent water, and there was a waterfall in front of us. Once we were washed down the waterfall, we would be thrown to death.Even if you don't fall to your death, you will definitely be drowned.

We are beyond salvation, and anyone can see that we are mortal.But even if we are doomed, would we rather see people running back and forth on the shore, calling us anxiously, trying to use all means to save us, or would we rather see everyone treat us indifferently? Do not ask? "

He Wei thought for a while: "Of course I would like to see someone still working hard to save us."

"But even you know in your heart that you are hopeless."

He Wei remained silent.

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Even if I am still dead in the end, but before I die, I see so many people who have been trying to save me and have not given up until the last moment before I die. Even if I die in the end, I will Peace of mind, I will know that I did not come to this world in vain, and the civilization I live in...is warm. This is the dignity I can have as a person."

Accompanied by Zhang Dingshan's words, He Wei seemed to have entered into a situation where she was trapped in the rapids and had no hope of survival.Her expression gradually turned fierce.

"I don't ask anyone to jump into the rapids and risk being washed down the waterfall to die to save me, I only ask others to provide me with some help while ensuring their own safety.

Can't swim, can't jump off, can you throw me the wood beside you?Can you stick out a branch and try to hold me?Can you call the police as soon as possible and let the security guards come to rescue me?
As long as you are willing to help me, no matter how big or small, I will be satisfied, and I can rest in peace after death.

Whether I can be saved in the end is God's business, it depends on God's will.But whether you are willing to save me, and whether you are willing to make some efforts to save me, is your own business.

If a person can really become a ghost after death, then if everyone refuses to save me and treats me indifferently, I can't feel at ease when I become a ghost after death. "

Lu Qingliang lowered his head: "I understand. I also object to closing the case at this moment."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Even if we cannot save those people's lives or change their fate in the end, we will fight until the moment their lives end. This is the mission of our operations department."

"Yes."

The dead are gone, and the things that have happened cannot be changed.The overall operational goal of the Second Action Team is only to prevent those who have not yet suffered from bad luck from suffering from bad luck again, so that they can live in peace and tranquility.

After unifying the team's thinking, confirming that the case should continue to be investigated at this moment, and that all efforts should be made—even if the efforts were ultimately useless, and that they would continue to try to save those affected, Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"Lu Ming, don't have psychological pressure, don't be burdened. No matter whether you can find a way to change their fate in the end, you have done your best. As long as you do your best, you can have a clear conscience."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm very greedy. Not only do I want to have a clear conscience, I also want the sense of accomplishment after truly changing the fate of others."

"Then do your best."

"Yes."

"That's it for today. Qing Liang, you continue to provide logistical support. He Wei, you and I continue to work together with the special service team to monitor the lives of those affected and try our best to solve the dangers and hidden dangers they encounter in their lives. Lu Ming, I won't assign tasks to you, you decide what to do next."

"Yes."

The meeting is coming to an end.He Wei sorted out her thoughts, looked at Zhang Dingshan, then at Lu Ming, and said, "How about... let's find something delicious? I asked again, the local pork raised in the mountains south of Blue Lake City It's delicious, the local way of eating it is to stew it with dried bamboo shoots from the mountains, it's very famous, let's try it?"

The original dull atmosphere in the conference room was instantly diluted by He Wei's words.Lu Ming felt a little dumbfounded for a moment: "He Wei, you are enough."

He Wei urged: "It's just a meal, without delaying anything, let's try."

Lu Qingliang enviously said: "Steamed dried bamboo shoots with local pork, I've heard of it too. I also bought dried bamboo shoots from Blue Lake, but unfortunately I don't know how to cook them, it's not delicious. I really want to try the authentic local recipe. I also heard that fresh pork is not stewed directly in the local area, and it has to be smoked, which is very complicated.”

"How is it? Are you going? Captain, let's go together?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "I'm not very interested, let's talk about it later."

Zhang Dingshan said: "I will try it later when I have time."

Seeing that the two of them objected at the same time, He Wei had no choice but to take back the suggestion resentfully, but she still looked unwilling.

The meeting was over, and Lu Ming returned to his residence.I lay on the bed for a while, trying to think, but my mind and thoughts were always scattered, and I couldn't think of anything.

Look at the sky is still early at this moment, it is just evening.Lu Ming got up and went to the cafeteria to eat something casually, then left the base.

Next to the base is a small park.There is a small artificial lake in the park.In the evening, the nearby residents like to come here for a walk and take their children to play here.

Lu Ming came here.

"Come and chase me!"

"Mom! He snatched my lollipop!"

"Let me tell you, in the supermarket to the west, the quality of the food is always poor, and they still don't allow you to choose. No wonder the business is getting worse and worse, and no one goes there."

"The eggs at the Happy Supermarket are on sale, and the vegetables are fresh, picked from the ground every day."

"Hello? I'm outside, I can't go back..."

Lu Ming strolled in the small park, and the conversations of the surrounding citizens began to fade away, full of the breath of life.

Now the sun has set and it is no longer hot.The artificial lake next to it brought a touch of coolness and water vapor, combined with the gently swaying branches in the breeze, people's hearts gradually calmed down unconsciously.

After passing by a group of children who were fighting with each other, gently helping a girl who almost tripped over when she ran past him, and receiving a thank you from the young mother, Lu Ming finally came to the side of the artificial lake. Sitting down on the human bench, facing the slightly rippling lake, thinking quietly.

Lu Ming was carefully sorting out the whole incident.From the beginning to the end, from the Zhang Lu case that broke out at the beginning, to Feng Guozhu, to the follow-up psychologist investigation, to Zeng Jian, to Wu Biao, Wang Quan, to the previous masters, until now, Sort out every detail, every discovery, every speculation and conclusion in this incident.

There are many factors involved in this case.But many factors do not seem to be necessary, or not involved in the core.In the end, during Lu Ming's long thinking, he temporarily excluded all those unnecessary and non-core factors.

In the end, only a few main points remained in Lu Ming's thoughts.

Cause and effect are reversed, time is confused, and information is lost.

These three points are the most critical in this incident.

Among them, the inversion of cause and effect is the external manifestation of this incident. "Effect" comes before "cause".

Time chaos is the deeper nature of this incident.It is precisely because of the abnormality in the timeline that the result appears before the cause.

The loss of information is the specific method of presenting the results.

An object—whether the object is a person or a pig, a mountain or a factory building, its information is lost. In a macro sense, the existence of this object as a person, pig, mountain, factory building, or tree is not established.

Lu Ming believes that these three points are the core of this incident.

Once these three points are clarified, the nature of this incident will most likely be clarified.However, after clarifying this case, we can really find a way to change the fate of those affected, so as to truly save them.

Time passed slowly.The noisy small park gradually quieted down.The surrounding buildings were lit up, a round of bright moon hung in the sky, and the atmosphere between the sky and the earth was full of peace.
