Paranormal Investigation Notes

Zhao Zonghai is dead.

In this underground base, which is hundreds of meters deep and heavily guarded, almost the safest place in the world, he died inexplicably.

He escaped Han Rui's assassination, lived for a while, enjoyed life for a while, and died.

Lu Ming sat up suddenly, got out of bed and left the room, and saw outside, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei also left the room, their expressions livid.

In the underground base, sirens kept calling, piercing.Numerous guards have been dispatched collectively to guard every traffic artery and key facility location in the base.The three of them quickly came to the area where the seven survivors—plus Hu Shan, were the eight of them.

It's already under martial law.The guards are all armed with live ammunition, watching for any movement in this area.At this moment, Lu Ming had no doubt that even if a dinosaur appeared, it would be torn apart by guns and bullets in an instant.

Eight survivors occupy eight rooms.At this moment, the room has been sealed off, and the survivors are strictly forbidden to leave.There are four guards in each room for personal protection, and two guards at the door.

At this moment, the survivors have also been awakened by the sound of the siren, heard the heavy and fast footsteps outside, and felt the atmosphere like facing a big enemy at this moment.They sat on the bed, a little dazed, a little scared, and a little anxious waiting.

The three members of the second action team ignored them and went directly to the room where Zhao Zonghai was, and saw with their own eyes the dead body of Zhao Zonghai lying on the ground without any breath of life.After a little inspection, Lu Ming confirmed that, at least on the surface, Zhao Zonghai's death was consistent with Han Rui and others.

"An autopsy to confirm the cause of death."

"Yes."

Although he knew that dissection was meaningless, and Zhao Zonghai had a high probability of death due to the ripening of brain tissue, but dissection was still necessary.

In the hall outside the room, the three began to be on duty in person.But that's obviously of no use.Because just a moment later, there was a sound like a heavy object falling to the ground in room two.

The three went there immediately, and saw the No. [-] survivor also fell to the ground and lost his life.

"Hold!"

He Wei opened her eyes wide and punched the wall hard.

Under the witness of our own side, under such a level of protection, that secret organization can still kill people at will!
All the defenses of one's own side are almost useless and have no effect at all!
At this moment, even the guards, who had experienced countless battles and experienced countless bloody scenes without being shaken at all, became a little nervous.

It's like there is a ghost invisible to the naked eye in this area.But at this moment, this fierce ghost is constantly harvesting life.

The deaths of Zhao Zonghai and the No. [-] survivor seem to be just the beginning.After a while, there was also a little movement in the fifth survivor's room.

Survivor number five fell dead.It was also under the personal protection of the four guards and witnessed it with their own eyes.

He just fell to the ground and died instantly.It was so fast that our side didn't even have time to rescue them.

Suddenly, there was a little cry in the room of survivor No. [-].The three of them went there immediately, and saw the No. [-] survivor crying there.

The survivor is a young woman, tall and beautiful.Lu Ming, who had read her profile, knew that she was a white-collar worker in a large company with a wealthy family and many suitors.

"What happened? Why are there so many people? Has the killer group already arrived? Has someone died?"

She cried in fear: "Save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die! I still have a lot of things to do, I'm not married, I haven't even talked about love, I always want to take my parents I didn’t even have time to travel once. I don’t want to die, woo woo woo…”

Lu Ming wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.

How to comfort?Tell her you'll be fine?we will protect you
It doesn't make any sense.It's even a lie at all.

Lu Ming and He Wei were both silent.The survivor's eyes became more and more desperate: "Is it because you can't save me? Am I dead? I, I am dead? Yes, can you call me, I want to say goodbye to my parents..."

Zhang Dingshan took out his mobile phone and handed it over—his mobile phone can connect to the signal transmission channel of the underground base, and can directly call the outside world—at the same time he comforted in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will do our best to protect you."

Survivor No. [-] tremblingly took the phone and started dialing.But she only pressed three numbers, and before the call could be made, she trembled all over, and two lines of blood flowed out of her nostrils.Her eyes were wide open, the spirit inside slowly disappeared, and then her whole body was like a wooden stake, and she fell heavily on the ground.

She is dead.

Lu Ming, He Wei, and Zhang Dingshan died under the witness of the three.

He Wei gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.Lu Ming turned his head to the side, unable to bear to look at her.Zhang Dingshan took a step forward in silence, stroked her face lightly, made her eyes close, and then took his mobile phone back.

The body of survivor No. [-] was also taken away for further examination.The three left the room, returned to the hall, and sat on chairs in silence.

Lu Ming only felt a huge sense of powerlessness covering his whole body.He clearly knew that five survivors were under the threat of death at this moment, and death could come at any time, but he didn't have the slightest intention to protect them.

Pointless.It doesn't make any sense.

No matter what one's own side does, it is a waste of effort.The method of that secret organization is beyond one's own imagination, and it is not something that he can fight against at this stage.

There was a little movement in the room of survivor number seven.Lu Ming sat quietly, not even interested in taking a look.He watched numbly as the guards carried out a corpse and walked away quietly, without any fluctuation in expression.

The remaining survivors are still restless.Although they could feel the heavy and unusual atmosphere at the moment, they didn't know what was happening outside.

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan: "Do you want them to say goodbye to their relatives for the last time?"

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.He Wei didn't insist either.

Lu Ming could understand Zhang Dingshan's decision.

In this final stage of life, instead of letting them know that their own death is inevitable and that death is coming, rather than letting them be in this fear, it is better to end their lives in ignorance.

Even if they were given the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones for the last time, how many of them could still maintain their senses and talk to each other amidst the overwhelming fear?

The three members of the second action team sat numbly in the hall, watching the survivors die one after another.By daytime, all survivors except Hu Shan died.

Lu Ming knew that this meant great trouble.After all, people were fine when they were brought in. You said you wanted to protect them, but they died not long after they came in. How do you explain to their families?
There are still a lot of things to deal with later, and, in the face of grieving and angry family members, these things must be extremely difficult.But let the local government deal with these matters, and it's not the turn of the second action team to deal with them.

It's seven o'clock in the morning.The three still did not leave.Because it's clear that death isn't over.

Hu Shan is not dead yet.

According to the previous death time interval, I am afraid that it will not exceed half an hour at most, and Hu Shan is about to die.Because the two people with the longest time between deaths before were two hours.And now, it has been an hour and a half since the last survivor died.

Hu Shan, who has lived in the underground base for a long time, has already adapted to the environment here.At this moment, he was still soundly asleep, and he was not affected by the outside world at all.Even the shrill siren didn't wake him up.

But... it may be a kind of happiness to be able to lose your life in a dream without the slightest pain.

Time passed quietly.During this period, Zhang Dingshan's cell phone rang.He picked it up, took a look, and said, "The result of the seventh comprehensive investigation was that nothing was found."

Lu Ming nodded silently, then continued to wait.

This night, the second operation team and the guards were not idle.Since the death of the No.1 survivor, many guards have begun to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the entire underground base, looking for any suspicious objects or persons.In addition to the underground base, there are also a large number of drones and ground search personnel conducting searches on the ground.

Moreover, it was carried out seven times in a row.Now, the seventh search is over, and still nothing has been found.

Half an hour passed quietly.But Hu Shan was still sleeping soundly, and there was no abnormality in his body.The three waited for another half an hour, and Hu Shan finally woke up from his sleep.

Stretching and yawning, under the watchful eyes of the guards, Hu Shan went to the toilet, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

He was not at all uncomfortable with the gaze of others.

After tidying up, he said, "Let's have some millet porridge, and some steamed buns and pickles. Eat something light today."

He shook the mouse, and the computer screen lit up.There is a game window on the screen. In the window, the game characters belonging to Hu Shan have been fighting monsters for a whole night, and they are still full of energy, without any signs of fatigue.

After counting the harvest, Hu Shan nodded in satisfaction.After the breakfast was delivered, he finished eating slowly, and then plunged into the game world again.

During long-term protective detention, people always have to find something to do.Hu Shan became obsessed with games during this time, and spent all day fighting in games to pass the time.

Originally, the underground base was not allowed to connect to the external network.The network where he played games was specially set up for him by the second action team.

Watching Hu Shan play the game for more than half an hour, the three of the second action team realized that maybe... Hu Shan is really different from the other survivors.He is not going to die.

The three went to eat with heavy hearts and came to the conference room.

"Obviously, that secret organization has the ability to still kill people under our heavy protection. And, Hu Shan is our only bargaining chip. If Hu Shan is killed, it is impossible to investigate this case any further. But, that secret organization Still did not choose to kill Hu Shan."

What this means is obvious.

Those who are prescribed the manner and cause of death are special.And Hu Shan is the special among the special.He was so special that the secret organization couldn't kill him for various reasons.

However, our side has no way of knowing how special he is, nor can we find more ways to use this specialness.

So, how to investigate the next case?
At this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help feeling a little suspicious of himself.

Can we... really get to the bottom of this case?Can that secret organization really be uncovered to prevent more people from becoming victims?

What happened last night was really shocking.The feeling of watching the survivors die one by one, but one's own side is completely powerless, really hits people's spirit and will too much.

This force is almost irresistible.Lu Ming was even sure that if that secret organization wanted to kill a few of its own people, it would be as easy as that.

Lu Ming was so shocked that he almost lost his confidence.

At this moment, he even had the thought of giving up, of admitting defeat.

Maybe...you can choose to quit and leave this case to other teams to handle?Although Lu Ming is almost sure that the other teams are unlikely to be better than their own in this situation, then the final outcome is almost doomed: after the other teams also return home, this case will become an unsolved case .

No matter how many things are involved in this case, no matter how important its status is, and no matter how great the threat to the entire human world is, it can only become an unsolved case.

It's like, everyone knows that once the super-light speed navigation technology is mastered, the entire human world will immediately make a leap, evolving from a local civilization to a real interstellar civilization.

This technology is so important, so why is no one working on it?
The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that it is impossible for this technology to produce results at this stage.

The same goes back to the present moment.Who doesn't know the importance of this case?But with the capabilities of the human world at this stage, it is impossible to find out clearly, so what else can be done if it is not listed as an unsolved case?
In the silence, He Wei murmured: "I don't know what to do next. I, I..."

She lowered her head, grabbed her hair with both hands, and said nothing.

Lu Ming could tell that He Wei also seemed to have lost confidence.

What happened last night was a huge blow to the second action team.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was calm.After a long time, he slowly stood up and said slowly: "That secret organization may not be as powerful as they have shown at this moment."

Ok?
Lu Ming was somewhat puzzled.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on our side, under such a level of security, taking so many lives at will, isn't that powerful?
Zhang Dingshan's words were full of strong confidence: "They were too deliberate. I even think that what happened last night just exposed their fear and weakness."
