Paranormal incident investigation notes
Chapter 237 Sarcophagus and Noodle Machine
While Lu Ming was deep in thought, He Wei hurried over beside him.
"Lu Ming, it's an emergency. Suspect No. 26 accidentally fell down in the prison and knocked out half of his teeth. I have checked the surveillance video and can confirm that it was purely accidental and there was no human factor."
Suspect No. 26 is the former senior executive of the Destiny Organization who served as the beneficiary in the pregnancy beast sacrifice experiment.
"Um?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
A person falling and knocking out half a tooth is not a big deal at all. But when it comes to Suspect No. 26, it's very abnormal.
You know, not long ago, a total of ten thousand pregnant beasts transferred the "fate" of the fetus in their belly to him through the sarcophagus! According to common sense, his luck should be extremely good. How could something as unfortunate as falling down and knocking off half a tooth happen?
Or could it be that the original fall would have cost this person his life? Because I had enough good luck, so I only lost half of my teeth?
"Has his luck index been calculated?"
After the sacrifice, the daily life of suspect No. 26 has been closely monitored, and his luck values have been calculated just like Lin Shen did before.
Of course, the situation of suspect No. 26 is somewhat different from that of Lin Shen. The most important thing is that Lin Shen and the people around Lin Shen do not know the existence of this matter. All their daily lives are natural and uninterrupted by the outside world.
Suspect No. 26 and the people around him had some knowledge of the matter. This means that his daily life will also be subject to some interference, resulting in inaccurate numerical statistics.
But it still has a certain reference value.
"Out."
He Wei said solemnly: "Taking '5' as the average luck value for ordinary people, with neither good nor bad things, during this period, the average luck index of suspect No. 26 was only 3.9."
"So low?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
The sacrifice of nearly 10,000 pregnant beasts not only failed to bring him good luck, but also made him have bad luck?
If we say that he was originally very unlucky, but with enough luck, he rose to this value - using this set of theories to explain it, it doesn't seem to make sense.
The reason is simple. If after the fate of nearly ten thousand beast fetuses, his luck index is only 3.9, then how low must his original luck index be?
Don't forget, if the luck index is as low as 1.0, it means that you are so unlucky that your life may be in danger at any time. Such people will never live long.
According to this logic, the original luck value of Suspect No. 26 before the blessing was absolutely low to a limit, and he would have died suddenly on the spot.
He Wei frowned slightly: "I feel that this value is not very accurate. I have looked through a lot of surveillance footage, and I feel that a considerable part of the events that caused his luck value to be low came from man-made actions, from the intentional actions of other suspects. For that.”
"Intentional?"
Lu Ming was thoughtful.
Apparently the other suspects were jealous of him.
Everyone is a suspect, organized by fate. But you were chosen to be the beneficiary and receive so many blessings of luck - even if this is fake, at worst it can be considered a meritorious service, why do all the good things happen to you?
If you are jealous, you will actively cheat him intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, his luck value decreased.
"After weight reduction and recalculation, I think his true luck value should be between 4.5 and 4.8. Well, although it is lower than the average, he can probably be regarded as a normal person. But in any case, his luck is Not good. That’s for sure.”
First of all, one thing is basically certain, that is, the banging sound coming from the sarcophagus means the success of the sacrifice. This is not only endorsed by the senior management of the Destiny Organization and the classics, but also proved by the sacrifice test of one's own pregnant beast.
Only those sacrifices that made a banging sound would cause abnormalities in the babies born to the pregnant beasts. Otherwise it won't.
This proves that the functions of these sacrifices in which Suspect No. 26 plays the role of beneficiary should be no different from those sacrifices made by the Destiny Organization in which pregnant women were sacrificed.
So, if the luck of Suspect No. 26 has not improved, has the luck of the core members of the Destiny Organization really improved before?
I'm afraid this is unlikely.
So from this point of view, could it be that...all the sacrifices made in the past many years, from the Dali culture in ancient times to the Destiny Organization...were all in vain?
The God of Destiny deprives the unborn child of his luck, but does not bestow it on the beneficiary?
So many sacrifices are actually only harming others and not benefiting oneself?
Lu Ming made this guess based on existing information. But the final result still has to wait until the data from Zhang Dingshan comes out.
In the afternoon, Zhang Dingshan, who was responsible for investigating the luck values of the core members of the Destiny Organization in the past, finally returned. After notifying Lu Qingliang, the four of them gathered in the video conference room again.
“The result of my investigation is that the average luck value of those core members of the Destiny Organization in the past five years is 4.85.
Data within five years is easier to collect and investigate, and is more reliable. I discarded all data older than five years because it was sparse and less reliable. However, with data from the past five years, I think it is enough to illustrate the problem. "
Sure enough. Lu Ming nodded slowly.
The value of 4.85 is slightly lower than the average, but still within the normal range.
The combination of the two is enough to prove that this sarcophagus actually only has the ability to deprive luck, but does not have the ability to transfer or bestow luck at all.
Lu Qingliang was a little confused.
"Captain, I noticed that the assets of the core members of the Destiny Organization have increased by more than 100% in the past five years. Moreover, these people are all cunning and cunning people. Without real benefits, it is unlikely that they can maintain such a level. Long-term 'loyalty' to the fate organization. In other words, they think that their luck has indeed improved. But why is the value so low?"
“I feel like my luck has gotten better” and “the increase in assets in the past five years has exceeded 100%.” Doesn’t this count as good luck? Why is the luck value not even average?
Zhang Dingshan said: "This is indeed the reality. I also noticed these two things during the investigation. But..."
He shook his head: "This is not because luck has improved at all. It is because the Destiny Organization has assumed the responsibilities of 'trust endorsement' and 'communication and coordination' to a certain extent among the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen."
Lu Qingliang suddenly realized: "That's it."
A group of wealthy businessmen who didn't know each other before got together because of the bond of destiny organization, and they had a mechanism and channel for communication and coordination between them. And because they participated in the sacrifice together, they had a foundation of trust between them. As a result, mutual business will be easier to do, and different resources will cooperate with each other, and many things will be easier to handle.
This is why one feels that one's luck has improved and one's assets have increased significantly, especially the latter, which in turn will increase the perception that one's own luck has improved.
But in the objective, cold and accurate numerical statistics of luck, this layer of illusion is stripped away. The fact is that the luck of the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen has been worse than that of ordinary people during the past period.
"Okay." Lu Ming said solemnly: "At this stage, based on the existing information, we can make a more accurate description of this sarcophagus.
That is, if a pregnant woman or a pregnant beast is treated through certain procedures, this sarcophagus can make the fetus born by a pregnant woman or a pregnant beast have bad luck. "
Lu Ming deleted descriptions such as "luck transfer" and "making people's luck better". Because the existing evidence has proven that it does not exist at all.
"In this, 'certain processing procedures' are the cause. This sarcophagus is the core element, and 'bad luck' is the result."
After being told by Lu Ming like this, a thing that was originally full of weirdness and magic turned out to be like an ordinary factory, and the logic of the matter immediately became clear and simple.
For example, a simple machine that can process noodles. For it, people put the flour through certain processing procedures - this is the cause, and then hand it over to the core element, which is the machine for processing, and then noodles can be produced - this is the effect.
Cause - processing - effect.
The logical chain is so simple and clear. From this aspect, this sarcophagus is actually no different from a noodle machine. At most, the raw materials and working mechanism processed by the "machine" of the sarcophagus are more special.
With this logical chain, the direction of subsequent investigation is clear.
Just find out the specific working mechanism of this sarcophagus.
Everyone fell into thinking, repeatedly chewing on the few elements summarized from previous experiments.
Moonlight, six-pointed star, coma, kicking on the ground, in front of the sarcophagus.
If these five prerequisites are met, the "machine" of the sarcophagus can complete the processing.
However, these five preconditions do not have any special meaning. Why do this? What are the consequences of doing so? Why these five?
They are obviously completely unrelated things, and have nothing to do with luck no matter how you look at them.
Lu Ming thought for a long time before he pondered and said: "I feel that the situation at this moment is somewhat similar to the 'haunted house' case that we have already investigated before."
In that case, how the dragon-suppressing stake trapped the building god once caused a lot of headaches for several members of the second operation team. Because the so-called dragon-suppressing pile seems to be completely unrelated to the physical level of trapping the building god.
Of course, it was later found out that the dragon-suppressing pile did not actually trap the building god, but instead protected the building god. So, will the situation now be similar to that time? Maybe the five preconditions you think of as playing a role in the entire logic are not actually preconditions, but have other meanings?
"Follow-up investigations may be more focused in this direction."
No matter where you look at it, Lu Ming's judgment is very logical and reasonable. Zhang Dingshan shook his head.
"Lu Ming, you have to remember that when investigating supernatural events, you should never form path dependence and don't be affected by past successful experiences. Experience, for us, is sometimes not a good thing."
Lu Ming was shocked and reacted immediately.
Supernatural events are ever-changing and anything is possible. It is different from ordinary events in that there is no such thing as certain rules. The experience of handling the last incident may be completely wrong in this incident. Because of this, the Operations Department of the Planetary Security Agency has regulations on keeping case files confidential. The fear is that the experience of other incidents will affect the subsequent handling of new cases.
At this moment, unknowingly, Lu Ming made this mistake.
"Yes. I understand."
Zhang Dingshan shook his head again: "Lu Ming, this does not mean that you are wrong. I am just reminding you not to be path dependent and not to be bound by experience. You still have to investigate what should be investigated, but you should not have too many illusions and expectations about it. Depend. Keep a normal mind and just check it as a normal clue. If you deliberately avoid it because it is similar to the previous incident handling experience, wouldn't you be bound by experience again? "
Lu Ming nodded somewhat ashamedly.
To be honest, he did have a subconscious reaction to avoid it before.
"Okay, let's continue the discussion."
Zhang Dingshan changed the topic.
But the video conference room fell silent again.
Before, Lu Ming only proposed an investigation direction. I still have no idea how to proceed. However, the other people obviously had no idea at the moment.
After a long time, He Wei muttered: "Maybe this thing is from an alien planet. I wonder which alien was too lazy to get it."
This conclusion is simple and crude, but it has to be said that it does have a certain degree of credibility and rationality.
Obviously, human creations cannot affect luck. Because luck, in the final analysis, is just a probability. It is not an actual thing, so how can it affect it?
If humans are not good enough, the only things that can be affected are the creations of alien civilizations whose technology surpasses human civilization.
Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "This is indeed one of the possibilities. But, as I said, there must be evidence. It would be too irresponsible if we just blame things that we cannot investigate clearly on aliens. "
He Wei sighed.
Silence returned again in the video conference room.
For a long time, Lu Ming said slowly: "If you really can't find the next step of the investigation and can't find any clues that can lead to a breakthrough, I think there is a clue that you can try."
The other people all looked at him.
"In the Destiny Organization, the secret about the God of Destiny can be obtained through divine revelation and only the leader can know."
Lu Qingliang said: "I really don't know how to start the investigation now. If it doesn't work, I can only give it a try."
Thanks to the book friend "Ximen Boo Boo who drank too much Coke" for the reward!
Xiaopoujie author Jun’s first book also has a leader!
My heart is full of excitement.
Today's update has been given, and there will be another update later, for the leader of the Ximen Boo Boo League!
