Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 373 External Power
"stop!"

Following Lu Ming's order, the criminal playing the role of the robber stopped and put the knife away.In front of him, the close friends of the three victims of Wang Quan's curse case were panting heavily, still in shock.

"You performed very well, not bad not bad."

With a smile on his face, Lu Ming tried his best to comfort these people who knew they were acting but still instinctively felt fear.

"Come on, it's over."

The criminal was taken back to prison again.The intimates of the three victims received their own rewards, [-] each.

"goodbye……"

Seeing the three leave, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"The last one. The team leader, He Wei, and Qing Liang should have already finished."

Back at the base, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were already waiting here in advance.Lu Qingliang has also returned to the headquarters and participated in the meeting via video.

"It's all done, everything went well."

"all the best."

"Me too."

After a busy month, 422 people and 422 scenes were all completed.

"The special service team's report has been sent today. Statistics show that the families and personnel who have been disposed of have not encountered more serious accidents until today."

If a family or individual did not encounter an accident, it may be a coincidence, but now hundreds of families and individuals are all like this, which cannot be explained by coincidence.

This seems to mean that one's own disposal method has really received results.This incident... may indeed have been resolved.

Those who died could not be resurrected, and those families who suffered bad luck could no longer recover.But at least, our own actions and investigations have indeed achieved results, and have indeed saved the lives and fates of at least a thousand people.

Our own side can no longer expect more.

Because we are only human.We have no superpowers, let alone gods.All we can do is try our best and do our best, that's all.

"Follow-up observations are still necessary. In my opinion...at least another year of observation is needed."

"can."

Zhang Dingshan directly agreed to He Wei's proposal.

After confirming the follow-up arrangements, this event is about to end.

But in silence, no one said the word "closed case".

After a long time, Lu Qingliang sighed: "This incident can be regarded as an innocent disaster, right? I used to live peacefully on the earth, and didn't provoke or offend anyone. A black hole passing by several light years away, just It inexplicably took so many lives.

Our human civilization, no, what does it mean for us as individuals, each person, each life, to this universe..."

This is worse than walking on the road and being hit on the head by tiles falling from the sky.

It can't be predicted, it can't be prevented, and it can't be changed after it happens.If it wasn't for our own investigation, even if he died in the end, he wouldn't know what happened.

Lu Ming said silently: "A stone means something to the universe, and a person means something to the universe. The human body is just a combination of various elements and compounds, and consciousness only comes from its complex structure. In this respect, with respect to the universe, a man is indistinguishable from a stone."

"So... no one cares about the loss of a life. It's like no one cares about two rocks colliding in the distant space, and one of them is smashed."

He Wei murmured: "The world is not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs."

"Yes. The Dao of Heaven and Earth, or the law of the operation of all things in the universe, exists just like that, and treats all things in the universe equally. You will not be biased against you because you are a human being, and you will not be extra malicious because you are a stone. Everything It's all the same, for heaven and earth, everything is meaningless."

Zhang Dingshan tapped on the table lightly, making all three of them look at him.

"This is the avenue of heaven and earth, not the avenue of us humans. Although the laws of the universe cannot be changed, it is not that there are opportunities for us humans.

To combat disease, we have developed modern medicine.

In order to fill our stomachs, we have transformed improved varieties and higher planting techniques, built water conservancy, and even artificial rainfall.

By the way, to live comfortably, we have built high-rise buildings and air-conditioned TVs.

To keep warm, we create all kinds of clothes that keep you warm and look good...

This is the way of our humanity.At the same time, it is also the meaning of civilization. "

Lu Ming murmured: "The meaning of civilization..."

Zhang Dingshan looked at him: "The existence of our second action team is also a part of it, and it is also a manifestation of the meaning of civilization. Not only us, security guards, doctors, scientists, workers, farmers, teachers, everyone, everyone It is the embodiment of civilization.

Civilization feeds us, and we feed back civilization to make it better. "

Lu Ming nodded silently.

Zhang Dingshan said: "Close the case. It's time to go back to the headquarters."

He Wei nodded silently.Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute. We first dealt with families 725 and 816. I want to see their current living conditions."

"Okay. This is the daily record submitted by the secret service team."

Lu Qingliang opened some videos, and Lu Ming saw that in the videos, the mother and daughter of family No. 725 walked forward together while chatting.Both looked relaxed and cheerful, and seemed to be in a good mood.

They were also carrying a bag with the logo of XX supermarket printed on it, and some vegetables and fruits could be vaguely seen inside.

"Family No. 725, the daughter is about to start school, and she will go to college in a few days. My mother has also found a job in a supermarket recently. Although she is a little tired, at least she doesn't have to endure the wind and sun outdoors. Salary Also a little higher than before.

My daughter has also started contacting work-study positions, and with the support of the school, she has already made plans.Although I can't earn much money, it is still possible to support my daily school life.And in recent years, the employment situation of the major she studied is very good, and it is estimated that there will be no change in a few years.As long as she doesn't kill herself, she can find a similar job as soon as she graduates.

Not to mention the great wealth and wealth of this family, there is still hope for maintaining the level of a well-off family.Well, there is great hope. "

Lu Ming nodded, feeling inexplicably moved in his heart.

Another video starts playing.Lu Ming saw in the picture that the old man of family No. 816 was carrying a hoe and had just returned to the newly renovated old house.

There is actually an external air conditioner on the outer wall of the old house.

This seems to indicate that the old couple's life is not bad.After all, old people who lost their children, have no one to rely on, and have no other income, they are willing to install air conditioners. There is no other explanation except that they live a good life and have spare money.

"The local civil affairs department has handled the subsistence allowance procedures for the old couple, and with various subsidies and support, there is no problem for the old couple to spend their old age in peace."

At dusk, there was a small table in the small courtyard with a plate of fried vegetables and a small pot of ribs on it.There is millet and mung bean porridge in the pot, and snow-white steamed buns on the grate.

The old couple sat on the small horses, discussing something while eating slowly.In the room, a TV series was still playing on the TV, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

Seeing that the two families are doing well, Lu Ming finally felt a little comfort in his heart.

This made him feel that his own existence was indeed meaningful, and that he had indeed done something.

"Let's go."

The three got up, packed some important things, and got into the car.

After saying goodbye to the base staff, the three set off for the airport.

As for the base where Wang Quan was detained, it will continue to exist for a long time.The research on Wang Quan will not stop, even if his ability disappears in the end, he will not be let out.

Even if Wang Quan eventually dies of old age, his body will be kept strictly.

After finally returning to the headquarters and meeting Lu Qingliang, the four of them sighed.

After a night's rest, the four of them came to the headquarters again the next day and began to accept inquiries from the research department according to the procedure.

It is still an old acquaintance, Professor Ning, who keeps records for Lu Ming.

"Hi Lu Ming, we meet again. Congratulations to your second team, you have successfully handled another supernatural case."

Lu Ming rubbed his forehead: "I don't think it can be considered a complete success this time. There are still shortcomings."

"Oh? Then, tell me in detail?"

"it is good."

Lu Ming described the incident in detail.From Zhang Lu's suicide case at the beginning, but the customs of Nanlin Street, to Zhou's archway, to that master, to capturing Wang Quan, and then experimenting again and again, researching and thinking again and again, groping again and again, and finally locked the black hole, Find the black hole, and then be inspired to take the method of "give you a reason to commit suicide", and finally explain the whole process of preventing those families who have not yet encountered bad luck from suffering bad luck.

This took a full day.It's evening now.

Professor Ning and his assistants recorded all this in detail.

After the narration, Professor Ning pondered: "At present, there are still two things that have not been clarified. First, what is the specific mechanism of borrowing the power of the black hole to make the victim commit suicide? Second, why is it Wang Quan, or Wang Quan? Those masters before Quan Quan? Do you have any thoughts on these two issues?"

Lu Ming organized his language before saying: "About the first question, my thought is that it is possible that the black hole swallowed up the 'information' of those suicide victims."

"Information?" Professor Ning was startled.

Information can only be presented by relying on matter, or energy.Information cannot exist on its own.Because it's not an actual thing at all.

A particle moves forward at 80% of the speed of light, its direction is forward, its mass is so-and-so, its spin is [-]/[-], etc. The description of these physical properties is its information.

It "loses" this information, which means its physical state has been changed.A change in physical state means a change in energy and mass.But energy and mass are conserved and cannot disappear out of thin air.

"The black hole affects the information of the particles that make up the victim, causing this person to lose the concept of a person as a whole. And without the concept of a person, it is obviously impossible for this person to exist in the world alive. However, the simplest What's the quickest way to die? Suicide."

Lu Ming looked at Professor Ning: "That's why they chose to commit suicide. I guess—it's just a guess, that's why black holes cause people to commit suicide."

Professor Ning nodded slowly: "It makes sense logically. But I'm afraid it can't be verified in practice."

"Yes."

From this point of view, the process is as follows: the black hole has affected human information, and in order to explain this "loss of information", it must die.The easiest, quickest, and most economical way to die is to commit suicide.

So these people killed themselves.

And then, in order to explain the suicides of these people, there has to be a reason.The simplest, quickest, and most economical cause of suicide is to start from the person who is close to him.

And so their close ones began to suffer bad luck.

That's the whole process.Of course, just like what Lu Ming said, it's just a guess.

There may never be a real answer to this question.All that can be done right now is just speculation.

Professor Ning no longer paid attention to this issue, but asked: "Then, for the influence of black holes, why do you follow the instructions of Wang Quan or other masters, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, thinking for a long time, and even thought through the whole thing from beginning to end, racking his brains to squeeze his thoughts, but in the end he still got nothing.

He shook his head: "I don't know. I can't figure it out, and I can't find any possible reason."

Professor Ning's expression gradually became a little more serious.

"About this question, I have a little guess."

"Oh?"

Lu Ming made a gesture of all ears.

Professor Ning said slowly: "I noticed that you mentioned the word 'explain' many times in your previous conjecture. In order to explain the loss of information, the victim needs to commit suicide. In order to explain the victim's suicide, the victim's close friends Need to suffer bad luck.

So... the existence of Wang Quan and those masters, and even the existence of the black hole, could it be... just an explanation? "

"This..." Lu Ming hesitated at first.He didn't quite understand the meaning of Professor Ning's words.But after thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up abruptly, staring at Professor Ning full of horror and shock, unable to say a word.

This point, he really didn't think of it before.However, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the so-called Wang Quan and the so-called black hole... are not the real reason?
If the existence of Wang Quan and those masters, and even the existence of the black hole itself, is just an "explanation" for a certain event or a certain problem, then the real logic of the matter will be like this.

The original logic was that in order to explain the loss of information, the victim would need to commit suicide.

But at this moment, in order to explain the loss of information, it is logically required that there must be an existence that causes this phenomenon, so the black hole appears.Because the appearance of black holes can explain this loss of information.

At the same time, in order to explain "why the influence of the black hole is precisely directed to these individuals", Wang Quan appeared, and those masters appeared.

Wang Quan cursed those people, so the influence of the black hole was precisely directed to these people.

In this logic, black holes, or Wang Quan, are not the essence of events.Their role in this set of logic is only that of tool people.

In order to explain the loss of information, a black hole appeared, and Wang Quan appeared.Wang Quan cursed them, the influence of the black hole affected them, and they committed suicide.

Professor Ning slowly said: "Is it possible that those people's 'information loss' is their doomed fate, and then 'the black hole appears, Wang Quan curses, commits suicide, and their relatives encounter bad luck' is a follow-up one." Explanation of the series?
Is it possible that all these explanations are just to answer the question of why the information is lost? "

Lu Ming barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart, panting, "This means that there is still an external force."

"Yes. That external force caused the loss of those people's information. Then, our universe evolved a series of reasons for this incident by itself, creating black holes, creating Wang Quan and a series of masters, and creating victims Doom to loved ones."

"So, the question 'Why Wang Quan' is not valid at all. Because Wang Quan and those masters are just tool people. Without Wang Quan, there will be Li Quan, without Li Quan, there will be Zhang Quan. There will always be a curser What appeared was that the curser happened to be named Wang Quan."

Lu Ming murmured: "Then... what is that external force?"

Professor Ning was silent.

Lu Ming was also silent.

There is really no way to answer this question.Even the imagination is somewhat unimaginable.

It took a long time for Lu Ming to break free from this kind of imagination.

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There is no need to think about it. I can't figure it out. No matter what, this incident is over, and those close to the victims will no longer suffer bad luck, and they probably won't. There are new victims. What we can do now is our limit."

Professor Ning nodded with deep empathy: "Indeed, it's already the limit. Then... let's do it for today."

Professor Ning stood up and shook hands with Lu Ming: "I'm looking forward to meeting again next time and listening to the story you tell."

"do not worry."

After saying goodbye to Professor Ning, Lu Ming walked out of the laboratory.

Breathing the fresh air outside, looking at the full moon in the sky, and listening to the faint sound of car horns coming from outside the headquarters, Lu Ming sighed softly.

"It's finally over. Let's go, Lu Ming, let's go to dinner."

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang seemed to have been waiting for a long time.It's so late and I haven't eaten yet.

"Walking around, I'm starving. By the way, I heard from Li Chu that it seems that we have made meritorious deeds again this time, and the Chu Li will reward us again."

"Give me more money, I'm dying of poverty. Don't just give it away with a plaque, what's the use of that thing."

"Satisfy you, how many people want this plaque is less than..."

"Can I sell it to you?"

"Okay, but you have to sell it together with the award ceremony and meritorious service records. As long as you dare to sell it, I will dare to buy it. Is 50 okay? No, how about [-]?"

"Go to hell."

……

The sixth volume of "Supernatural Incident Investigation Notes" "Fate" is finished.
