Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 66 Vulnerability
Between the vast mountains, mist lingers, and the sky and the earth are white.

At this moment the sun has risen, but the night fog has not yet dissipated.

The roar of a helicopter pierced the sky and descended towards the green land.

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming came to the mountain god's sacrificial place again.

At this moment, many changes have taken place here compared to the past.For example, a relatively wide and gentle road was specially built between the nearest landing point and the cave where the mountain god's sacrificial place is located, and there are also many temporary buildings around the landing point.

There are many people dressed as scientific researchers playing with instruments and equipment here, constantly entering and leaving between the caves.There are also people wearing uniforms and holding guns to maintain order and prevent accidents.

Obviously, the power from the human world is trying to study and understand this place.

The helicopter landed, and several people got off separately.Looking at the cave that was still shrouded in thick fog not far away, He Wei said: "Originally we planned to penetrate the mountain directly and build a tunnel directly to the mountain god. This will make it easier to enter and exit. But in order to prevent any accidents , In the end, I didn’t do it, but just widened the original cave.”

Lu Ming can understand this.

He knew that in the face of a device that was most likely left by a super alien civilization, changing the internal structure of the mountain god's sacrificial place at will might lead to unexpected situations.

"Let's go."

Zhang Dingshan walked forward with the two of them.

The personnel stationed here have obviously been notified in advance and have made corresponding preparations.At this moment, inside the cave, there is a guard at every three steps and a sentry at every five steps.

In a short while, a few people came to the mountain god statue along the internal passage that was clearly repaired and leveled recently.

Under the cliff on the side, among the stalactites, the original bones have disappeared.There was no trace of the filth and filth inside, and it was obvious that someone had done a comprehensive and meticulous cleaning.

At this moment, apart from being heavily guarded, this cave is like those caves in some tourist attractions.

Seeing Lu Ming and the others come in, some staff members in white protective suits who had surrounded the mountain god statue immediately moved away, and also moved away various equipment, leaving an empty space in front of it.

More than a dozen heavily armed soldiers came over and stood behind the three of them.

A person in a white protective suit said, "Captain Zhang, we are ready."

"it is good."

Zhang Dingshan agreed, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, no one is allowed to speak except me."

The researchers made OK gestures to Zhang Dingshan one after another, and the soldiers in full armor saluted in unison, but also did not speak.

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"Now, you still have a chance to repent."

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head.

Frankly speaking, although I have already prepared the psychological construction, I have long been determined to completely solve this matter at all costs, so as to avoid future troubles, and I am determined to lie on the altar at this time to spy on the secrets of the mountain god, but when things come to an end , It is false to say that I am not afraid.

But... you need to be bold when things come to an end.

Barely suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lu Ming walked directly to the altar in front of the mountain god statue.

In front of the altar, the huge mountain god statue seemed to be looking at him with a half-smile.

Standing in front of the altar, trying to control himself not to look at the statue of the mountain god, trying to calm down his state of mind, and taking a few breaths, Lu Ming turned around, bent down, and slowly sat down on the altar.

It was like lying down on the fake altar specially built by the X organization.

After that, he controlled his thigh muscles and placed his legs on the altar.Then he leaned back and lay down slowly, with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

Before that, the guns in the hands of the soldiers had already been raised.Different people aimed at different directions, guarding every place in the cave.

The cold and hard touch of the altar spread through Lu Ming's whole body through his clothes.He didn't know if it was an illusion or what, but he felt his body was a little stiff, a little cold, and a little uncontrollable trembling.

but……

Suddenly, a burst of warmth spread through the back.It's like a flame ignited under this altar, like a kang in the northern countryside.

Warm?

Lu Ming's thoughts almost froze at this moment.

Before the altar, Zhang Dingshan remained calm.

He suddenly saw a little light that did not belong to his own light source.

The light was changing and flickering, and the space in front of him seemed to be distorted at this moment.

Afterwards, he saw almost the same picture in the church of the X organization.

It was an aperture that radiated pastel colors.It didn't have any support, and just appeared beside the altar out of thin air, in front of Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

Several researchers looked at this scene in shock, as if their minds were sucked away by the aperture.But even at this moment, they did not forget Zhang Dingshan's order.

Don't talk, don't make any noise.

He Wei narrowed her eyes slightly.Her finger is always on the trigger of the gun, ready to fire at any time.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was full of solemnity.

The aperture slowly expanded, and finally expanded to the size of a door.Through this door, Zhang Dingshan clearly saw the huge room full of silver-white metallic luster behind the door.

The walls, floor, and ceiling are all the same color.Didn't see any light source, but it was full of light.

Not long ago, in the video data left by the core members of the X organization, Zhang Dingshan clearly saw that many people entered it.

This is almost certainly the same place.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Dingshan didn't see any traces of anyone entering this huge metal room.

Nothing at all.It's just a silver room.

A slightly mechanical, but extremely standard, voice without any emotion suddenly sounded in the cave.

It seemed to come from all directions, and there was no clear source of sound at all, making it unclear which direction it was coming from.

"The sacrifice has been confirmed. What do you want?"

Zhang Dingshan knew that before Lu Ming, no one had risked lying on this altar.But the records show that nothing happened at that time.But now, with Lu Ming lying down, this strange scene was truly presented in front of people.

He also knew that according to the normal process, he should raise his wish at this moment.

But he didn't speak.No one spoke at this moment.

He just pulled something from his waist—it looked like some kind of melon, but it was made of metal.

It was a grenade.

He casually threw the grenade towards the light gate.

He clearly saw the grenade draw an arc, rushing directly in front of the light gate, and touched it the next moment.

Normally, it should fly into the huge metal room behind the light gate.But the unexpected happened again.

The moment he crossed the light gate, the grenade suddenly disappeared.

It neither bounced back nor entered the metal room, it just disappeared inexplicably and completely lost its trace.

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this scene long ago.He drew out the dagger casually again, and threw it towards the light gate.

The dagger also disappeared.

He touched the hem of his clothes, tore it hard, and immediately tore off a piece of fabric.He balled up the cloth and threw it again.

The fabric also disappeared.

He beckons, and a researcher hands over a cage.In the cage, a little white mouse was screaming in terror.

He grabbed the little white mouse and threw it directly.

The little white mouse also disappeared.

After that, he tried weeds, pig heads, dirt, stones, guns, and even a cannonball, but none of these things could pass through the light gate and disappeared.

He finally spoke.

"What can you give me?"

Then the slightly mechanically stiff voice sounded: "Tell me what you want, and I will tell you how many sacrifices you need in exchange."

Zhang Dingshan said lightly: "I want to know all your secrets."

"I cannot grant your wish."

"I want you to disappear from this earth forever."

"I cannot grant your wish."

……

After trying for a long time, after another "I can't realize your wish", Zhang Dingshan did not make any new requests.He walked to the altar in silence, grabbed Lu Ming's hand, and pulled him up.

"You throw it."

Lu Ming got up and moved his already stiff body.After that, he took a grenade from Zhang Dingshan and threw it out as well.

The grenade disappeared again.It is the same as when Zhang Dingshan threw it before.

After that, Lu Ming tried the rest of the things again, such as mice, sundries, etc., but all these things still disappeared.

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, and gave up his plan to continue trying.

"I haven't figured out what I want yet. When I think about it, I'll give you the sacrifice first."

After these words, the aperture immediately began to shrink, getting smaller and smaller, and in just a few seconds, it completely disappeared from the cave, as if it had never appeared before.

Obviously, this time the sacrifice, or the transaction, was unsuccessful.

"The alert is lifted, let's go."

The soldiers put down their guns, and the researchers let out an instant exclamation.

"Space teleportation, it turned out to be real space teleportation!"

"Is it realized by what theory? Is it a wormhole? Or space folding?"

"Where does the energy come from?"

"This is amazing!"

……

Zhang Dingshan and He Wei walked out of the cave in silence.Lu Ming followed behind.His body is still a little stiff, but he is still trying to maintain a normal state.

Walking out of the cave, at this moment, the thick fog surrounding the mountains has dissipated a little, and the sun finally shines down.

Facing the slightly dim sunlight, Lu Ming felt as if he had passed away.

Returning to the landing point and entering a room, He Wei spoke first.

"Obviously, only things or life with the permission of the mountain god can pass through that portal. Other than that, no life, no threat, is allowed to enter."

Shanshen's device, or the intelligent program, did not leave that kind of loophole for people to exploit.

Lu Ming knew that the only feasible solution in his speculation had also failed at this moment.

Well... there are almost no viable options left.

But at this moment, a crazy idea popped up in Lu Ming's mind.

"Captain, do you have a sufficiently reliable positioning device?"
