Paranormal incident investigation notes

"Isn't this ridiculous?"

In Binhai Building, among a group of people wearing full-body protective suits and carrying various equipment, one person complained to the people around him: "Those specimens were all collected from here. We have all tested them." There are some unknown microorganisms out there. Is it necessary to come here again for on-the-spot testing?"

The man next to him sneered: "Old Shen, what are you complaining about? You can't get it if you have money. It's none of our business how the rich people like to do it."

"This is not a question of having money or not. Can't you see that they are all public funds?"

"Shhh!...Silence, don't talk nonsense. We will do whatever the superiors say."

"...Hmph, for bacteria, does it matter where it comes from to make it fresher? Ridiculous."

The microbiologist known as Lao Shen finally lowered his voice, but he still couldn't help complaining about the last sentence.

The group of people entered the Binhai Building and got busy in the lobby on the first floor of the Binhai Building. After a few hours, a biological laboratory that looked relatively simple but was actually fully equipped with various facilities had been set up.

During this process, whenever a staff member was thirsty and wanted to drink water or go to the bathroom to satisfy their physiological needs, they had to temporarily leave the Marina Building and undergo a series of disinfection procedures before putting on full-body protective clothing. Take it off.

Because there are very strict regulations from above, protective clothing is not allowed to be taken off under any circumstances within the Binhai Building. So when encountering a situation where you need to take off your protective clothing, you can only go out first.

This set of procedures is very troublesome and significantly delays the construction process of the biological laboratory. Fortunately, after a few hours, the biological laboratory was set up and follow-up work could be carried out.

But it was getting dark now. So under the orders of superiors, many staff had to evacuate all, and all follow-up work was postponed to the next day.

This caused Lao Shen's dissatisfaction again.

"What's wrong with it being dark? You can't work when it's dark? If you finish it earlier, you can save some money for the government. I've never seen such pretentiousness. It's just nonsense!"

"Don't talk about it, Lao Shen. Who wouldn't be happy to get off work early?! Just because you have a high level of consciousness, right?"

Another microbiologist nearby quickly pulled his protective clothing and stopped his complaints.

Lao Shen left Binhai Building angrily and underwent the disinfection procedure with a drooping face. After taking off his protective clothing, he saw a young man walking towards him.

He knew that the young man's name was Lu Ming. He was the one who gave the order to enter the Binhai Building for on-site testing at this moment, and it was he who made a series of outrageous regulations.

"Professor Shen, hello..."

Lu Ming greeted him respectfully. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Professor Shen snort and walked away without paying any attention to him.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and after feeling embarrassed, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Based on his understanding of Professor Shen's background information, he knew that Professor Shen was a serious and rigid scientist with an upright style, and he couldn't bear to see an outsider commanding an expert, so he roughly guessed why Professor Shen was so polite to him.

"I'm afraid he was able to take on this mission just because of the orders from his superiors..."

Lu Ming knew that he might not have a chance to cleanse his image in Professor Shen's mind. Because he cannot disclose the details of the murderous house case to outsiders like Professor Shen.

At this moment, he remembered the oath he had made when he joined the Second Action Team. At the same time, I gained a deeper understanding of this oath.

Shaking his head, he gave up his plan to continue communicating with Professor Shen and turned back to the temporary headquarters.

In any case, as long as Professor Shen can continue to cooperate with his work and continue to perform his tasks.

In the evening, the regular meeting of Action Team 2 was held again. At this time, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, who had been busy outside for a day, also returned here. Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared in the video screen again.

"Further testing of the Binhai Building has results. It has been confirmed that the reason for the abnormal decrease in the performance of its internal materials is due to some kind of corrosion. This corrosion is caused by the combined effect of a variety of compounds. Currently, the testing team Trace amounts of hydrochloric acid, ammonia compounds, etc. have been separated from it.”

Over decades, these compounds continued to interact with the materials that make up Marina Tower, slowly weakening their properties. After a long enough period of time, the impact they caused finally manifested itself on a macro scale.

The foundation of Binhai Building has experienced uneven settlement, and the building has a tendency to tilt.

"Are these things originally present in the reinforced concrete of the Binhai Building, or did they appear later? If they appeared later, where did they come from?"

"It has been determined that these corrosive compounds come from the outside of the wall and are not present in the reinforced concrete from the beginning. The argument is that if they were present inside the reinforced concrete from the beginning, then within a short period of time, these compounds would All of them will react with the wall materials, and subsequent reactions should stop. But now, this reaction has continued for decades, and has begun to accelerate greatly recently, so it can be determined that they must come from outside. "

"From outside?"

"I don't know. There is no such corrosion phenomenon on the surface of the wall, only on the inside of the wall."

He Wei replaced Zhang Dingshan and told Lu Ming the answer to this question.

"Penetrate the surface and directly... put these corrosive substances into the interior of the wall?"

He Wei shook her head solemnly.

Obviously, she didn't know what was going on.

"Okay." Lu Ming asked another question: "Have you confirmed that the damage rate of Binhai Building is increasing?"

"It's confirmed." Zhang Dingshan's tone began to become solemn: "The damage to the Binhai Building in the past year has accounted for 80% of the overall damage."

Lu Ming already knew this before.

"But... in the past month, the damage to the Binhai Building has accounted for 60% of the overall damage in the past year."

Under this data, several people fell silent. Only Lu Qingliang murmured: "A month ago... that was probably when Binhai Building was completely blocked by us and no one was allowed to enter or exit..."

About a year ago, Wu Xiuzhu was strictly prohibited from entering Marina Building.

Since then, the rate of damage to the Marina Building has increased dramatically.

A month ago, the Marina Building was completely sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Therefore, since that time, the damage rate of Binhai Building has once again greatly increased based on the original basis.

"Okay, now we can basically confirm that the purpose of Lou Shen's continuous killing is to eliminate the interference of human activities so that he can concentrate on breaking the formation..."

Abnormal deaths continue to occur inside Binhai Building, which will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. Among them, one of the most intuitive reactions is that the number of people in the Binhai Building will decrease rapidly, and will eventually be completely blocked.

With no one inside, the Binhai Building's damage rate greatly increased.

This seems to mean that human activities inside the Marina Building will affect the generation of those compounds and their "release" into the wall. That's why Lou Shen used the intimidation method of killing people repeatedly to scare everyone away.

But why do human activities in Binhai Building affect the building god?

At this moment, Lu Ming had several guesses. For example, fresh air and air conditioning systems that are constantly running? The flakes of skin that are constantly falling off the human body, the air that is constantly being breathed out? Constant cleaning and sanitation?

Or from a metaphysical point of view, popularity, or... yang energy?

After all, no matter what kind of metaphysical theory, it almost describes that the more people there are, the more life breaths such as Yang Qi will be, and then metaphysical beings such as ghosts and gods will not be able to easily approach or exert influence.

"We still have to think about the problem from a scientific perspective."

After calming down, Lu Ming secretly warned himself, and then said: "Regardless of why 'too many people in Binhai Building will affect the building god's damage to the walls of Binhai Building', at least, this kind of The possibility exists. Then, if you want to stop Lou Shen's 'formation breaking' action, you should start here."

He Wei nodded: "The captain and I have also thought of this. But...how to start? Where to start?"

Obviously, it is obviously not feasible to directly allow those many people to return to the Marina Building to work and live in the Marina Building as they did before the murder case occurred.

Lou Shen's previous murderous behavior showed considerable restraint. For example, only kill people at night, and not when many people are together.

Of course, this may also be due to some "restrictions" that we are not yet aware of, but... who can guarantee it?

If the Tower God fails to achieve its goal of driving people away from Marina Tower, will it upgrade its methods to kill more people?

This is a huge risk that no one can accept.

Although it has been confirmed that all the victims died from the toxin, and the absorption method of the toxin is through the skin, from this aspect, full-body protective clothing seems to be able to prevent this hazard.

But at present, people still have little understanding of the chemical properties of toxins such as photoxins. Who can ensure that protective clothing can isolate this toxin and protect the human body?

There are many chemicals that can penetrate several layers of protective gloves and endanger the human body.

And... who can confirm that the fear of poison is the only method of killing that Lou Shen uses?
