Paranormal incident investigation notes

Lu Ming's idea was finally recognized by Li Wenhua. He temporarily approved Lu Ming's current arrangement. Or... he actually didn't have much hope for Lu Ming.

You go check it out first. If you really can’t find it clearly, you should either find another team to investigate, or just list it as an unsolved case.

This matter is so bizarre that the probability of it being listed as an unsolved case should be very high. And, no matter what, at least at this stage, this matter does not appear to be too harmful, and it does not have much urgency.

After finishing this report, Lu Ming, who temporarily assumed the position of captain, did not make any direct arrangements. He once again began to think with full concentration, combing through every development detail of this matter from beginning to end, trying to find something that he had either missed or neglected.

But he thought for a long time and still couldn't find any valuable clues.

He quietly looked at the sarcophagus in front of him, which was about ten meters away from him, and sighed silently.

He was wondering if he really needed to break open the sarcophagus to see what was inside.

If there is really no other way out, knocking open this sarcophagus is the last way. But he didn't want to do it unless he had to.

In addition to causing unknown risks, doing so may also destroy the only clue, causing the case to become a complete unsolved case, with no possibility of investigation.

After all, this sarcophagus is the only real thing that can prove that there is something weird in this case.

"Perhaps... I should bring Wen Cheng here again and let him interpret the artifacts inherited from the ancient Dali cultural period collected here by the Destiny Organization."

Previously, Lu Ming did not let Wen Cheng get involved too deeply because of the need to keep it secret and because he did not think that Dali culture played a big role in the God of Destiny incident. But now, after ruling out the last resort of "breaking the sarcophagus", if we want to find any breakthrough, we may have to rely on Wen Cheng.

Of course, the probability of getting a breakthrough from Wen Cheng is very low, and there is basically no hope.

After contacting the Shanbei City Prison, Lu Ming successfully obtained the permit. So a few hours later, Wen Cheng, who was relieved of his worries and much more energetic than before, was brought to Lu Ming.

In a separate office, Lu Ming and Wen Cheng started a conversation.

"There are some things in your research on Dali culture that are wrong."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming got straight to the point and said these words.

Wen Cheng was stunned.

He did not expect that Lu Ming would actually say such words.

Well, even if it's wrong, so what? You went through all the trouble to get me out of prison and bring me to you, just to tell me this?

Lu Ming ignored him and continued: "What the sarcophagus represents, and what the ancestors of the Dali culture worship, is not death, but destiny. The ancestors of the Dali culture used pregnant women and animals to sacrifice the sarcophagus , the purpose is not to 'sacrifice death with new life', but to sacrifice destiny with the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman."

Wen Cheng was a little confused.

Lu Ming said calmly: "Now, we have found the sarcophagus."

Wen Cheng stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.

"This is impossible!" He lost his voice: "You mean, you found the sarcophagus that actually exists in the real world? How is this possible? It is just a symbol, a symbol, a totem, how can it exist? In the real world?”

Just like some ancestors worshiped the phoenix, worshiped the sea god, and worshiped the thunder god.

How could they actually exist?

"Wen Cheng, what you are going to see next is top secret information. If you leak it, I'm afraid you will never be able to leave prison in your life."

Lu Ming placed the detailed documents of the "Doom-haunted" case in front of Wen Cheng: "If you can promise not to leak the secrets and are prepared to bear the consequences of the leaks, you can open it. Of course, as long as you participate in this mission, no matter what No matter what the result is, we will give you at least a second-class meritorious service."

A second-class meritorious service would result in a reduced sentence of a few months at worst. This is what Wen Cheng looks forward to most. But feeling the solemnity in Lu Ming's words and the dire consequences of leaking secrets, even if they were accidentally leaked, he still hesitated.

For a moment, he gritted his teeth, and finally picked up the document and opened it.

Lu Ming waited for him quietly until he finished reading the document.

Wen Cheng's expression didn't change much, but that didn't mean that his mood was so calm. Lu Ming could clearly feel that his body, including his arms, had been trembling slightly.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and slowly put down the document in his hand: "I want to see the sarcophagus."

"Can."

Lu Ming stood up and brought Wen Cheng to the sanctuary and to the sarcophagus.

At this moment, Wen Cheng's eyes suddenly burst into indescribable light. Like a vicious dog pouncing on its food, he took a few steps to the sarcophagus, squatted down, and carefully inspected everything about the sarcophagus. His hand was imaginatively touching the sarcophagus, but he did not dare to touch it directly, just like an artist who saw a shocking work of art and was afraid of accidentally destroying it.

"I have seen this pattern on an unearthed jade article... I used to think that its meaning was to communicate with the 'God of Death', but now it doesn't seem to be..."

"I have never been able to figure out why the totem that the ancestors of Dali culture regarded as the incarnation of the god of death has this shape. Now it seems that it was simplified according to the real thing..."

After seeing this sarcophagus, many of Wen Cheng's doubts seemed to have been answered.

"Chief Inspector Lu, you mean that this sarcophagus does have some mysterious power, um... the power that can affect destiny? This kind of power does not exist in illusion, but actually exists?"

"yes."

Lu Ming directly admitted: "We have confirmed this through a lot of tests."

Wen Cheng finally understood why the confidentiality level of this incident was so high.

If this kind of thing that is full of mystery and weirdness is known by the public to actually exist in the world, then I don’t know how many people’s worldview will be subverted, and I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.

He took a deep breath and barely suppressed the shock in his heart: "So, what can I do?"

"I want to know what kind of impact this sarcophagus had on the ancestors of Dali culture, and to what extent."

If this matter can be answered, then, using the original Dali culture as a reference, we can roughly know what impact the God of Destiny's "resurrection" will have on the human world.

"Also, what secrets did the ancestors of Dali culture master about this sarcophagus?"

Wen Cheng nodded: "I'll try my best."

Lu Ming opened up his authority to Wen Cheng, allowing him to access the antiquities from the ancient Dali culture that had been captured from the Destiny Organization in order to decipher the information they might contain. In order to achieve this goal, Lu Ming also transferred all his past research materials and tools.

Wen Cheng's work was just an attempt by Lu Ming. From Lu Ming's point of view, he didn't have much hope in it. He's still trying to find another way. It's a pity that it has not been found so far.

Another regular meeting ended in silence among the three people. It was already dark now. In the night sky, the bright moon hung high and there were many stars.

To be fair, the environment of the manor used as the home base of the Destiny Organization is quite good. In a certain path surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, Lu Ming walked slowly in the night, thinking silently.

But before today's thinking lasted long, he was awakened by a slightly complicated noise. He looked towards the direction of the sound with some confusion, and not long after, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.

"I found it, I found it, Chief Lu is here!"

A guard rushed over first. When he saw Lu Ming's figure clearly, he immediately shouted into the communicator.

Lu Ming was shocked and immediately asked: "What happened?"

"Sergeant He said that we can't reach you by phone, so let us find you immediately. Chief Lu, please come with me. Chief He is waiting for you over there."

In order to ensure that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to thinking, Lu Ming did not carry his mobile phone with him, but left it at his residence. Nor did he allow the guards to follow him.

Anyway, this manor has been under strict security for a long time, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

At this moment, after hearing the guard's words, Lu Ming immediately realized that something unexpected must have happened, so He Wei had to find him immediately.

Lu Ming did not dare to neglect and immediately followed the guard to the place that was temporarily opened as a conference room. When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw He Wei with a serious face.

"Lu Ming, I just received a report. Twenty minutes ago, the guard guarding the sarcophagus heard a sound coming from the sarcophagus."

He Wei pressed the player, and a burst of sound came from the laptop in front of her.

Boom boom, boom boom...

It was the same as the sound coming from the sarcophagus during the sacrifice.

Lu Ming frowned: "We didn't make a sacrifice, did we?"

He Wei said solemnly: "Of course not. The sarcophagus has been on guard 24 hours a day, and no one without permission can approach it."

This is an unexpected event, a new change, a change that no one could have predicted before.

In the past, the sarcophagus would ring only when sacrifices were being performed. Now, there is no sacrifice, and the sarcophagus has started to ring?

"Go to the scene."

"Walk."

The two men immediately stood up and hurried to the sanctuary with more than twenty guards. Lu Ming signaled everyone to keep quiet, and after approaching the sarcophagus, Lu Ming heard the banging sound.

After listening for a while, Lu Ming confirmed in his heart that its intensity was similar to that of the last sacrifice.

Lu Ming's brows wrinkled again.

"Before the sound came from the sarcophagus, was there any change? Or a strange phenomenon or something."

The guard captain said solemnly: "Report to Sergeant Lu, there has been no change. We checked the video surveillance and found nothing unusual during this period."

"Or, what did you do?"

The guard captain looked slightly angry, as if he had been humiliated in some way. His voice was still neither humble nor arrogant, but it was slightly louder: "Report to Chief Lu, our guard strictly abides by the rules. Apart from guarding this place, we have not taken any actions other than those prescribed. There is also video surveillance to prove it."

Lu Ming vaguely noticed something, and there was a little more apology in his voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you."

The guard captain raised his hand in salute, turned and left. At this time, He Wei copied the surveillance camera, and Lu Ming looked at each one carefully. Sure enough, he did not see any abnormal changes in the surveillance camera, or the guards did anything they shouldn't have done.

Everything is as usual in the sanctuary. But the sarcophagus, which had previously only made noise during sacrifices, began to ring without any external changes.

And... it lasted for such a long time.

It has been at least half an hour since the sound came out, and the sound still shows no sign of stopping.

The only explanation, then, is that the change occurred outside the sanctuary. It was certain changes in the outside world that caused the changes here.

So, what will it be?

Lu Ming shook his head and sighed silently.

At this stage, apart from continuing to closely monitor the sarcophagus, there seems to be nothing he can do.

But this incident gave Lu Ming an extra layer of shadow in his heart.

No matter what, there must be some changes happening somewhere that I don't know about. Whether these changes are good or bad, I have no idea what will happen when these changes accumulate to a certain limit and lead to qualitative changes from quantitative changes.

It's not a good feeling to have to wait passively, but can't do anything and have no impact on anything. But at this moment, Lu Ming could only endure all this.

The next day, in the morning, a phone call came suddenly. Lu Ming took out his cell phone and was slightly surprised to see that the call was actually from Lin Shen.

It's been a while since I received a call from Lin Shen. Of course, this isn't a bad thing. This means that the seafood stall he opened in partnership with Lin Shen has been operating normally, and there are no major surprises in Lin Shen's life.

For someone like Lin Shen who is plagued by misfortune, nothing is the best situation.

but now……

Lu Ming answered the phone and heard Lin Shen's tone was a little depressed.

"Brother Lu, I accidentally fell down last night and broke my leg. I'm in the hospital now. Well...are you free during this time? Can you come to the store for a while?"

Lu Ming was startled.

Although Lin Shen was unlucky in the past, it was mostly just trivial matters and details in life. Breaking a leg has never happened.

After all, no matter which way you look at it, breaking your leg cannot be regarded as ordinary bad luck, but very bad luck.

I rushed home in a hurry and coded out this chapter. Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I should have time to write a chapter tomorrow.

It’s Chinese New Year, please give me some monthly tickets.
