Paranormal incident investigation notes

The number 5.1 is slightly higher than the average luck value of ordinary people, but it is still within the normal range and not abnormal.

At the same time, this number is closely related to our original negotiation process.

Taking the time when He Wei reached an agreement with the God of Destiny as the dividing line, Lin Shen's luck value showed a very obvious change.

Before the agreement was reached, Lin Shen's average luck value had even dropped below 3. This number means that Lin Shen has begun to have more serious accidents more frequently in his daily life, such as breaking his legs.

In fact, during that period of time, if it weren't for the people sent by Lu Ming to protect Lin Shen personally, Lin Shen might have been dead by now.

After He Wei reached an agreement with the God of Destiny, Lin Shen's luck value skyrocketed. The next day, his luck reached 5.5. Although it fell back later, it was always within the normal range and finally stabilized at 5. about.

This meant that Lin Shen's luck finally returned to normal. It also means that this matter has finally come to an end.

I can already leave Haiye City, go to the headquarters, and formally submit the case investigation report to Li Wenhua.

Sitting on the plane heading to the headquarters, Lu Ming was filled with emotion as he looked out the window at the tall buildings in Haiye City.

Thinking of the deaths of Lin Shen's parents, Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang, Lu Ming felt even more melancholy.

But anyway, it's over. The last wishes of Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang were also fulfilled by the second action team.

People always have to look forward.

"Ah Shen, do your best. It took ten thousand pregnant sows to get your luck. Even if you feel sorry for yourself, you must be worthy of those ten thousand sows..."

The plane landed at the Capital Airport with a roar. Lu Ming got off the plane and came to the 13th Division of the Planetary Security Bureau, where he met Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang.

"This case is finally over."

In the office, four people expressed emotion at the same time.

After sorting out the documents and submitting them, it’s time to wait. After that, after the report passes the review, the final process of this incident comes.

Go to the Planetary Security Agency's research room and tell the researchers everything that happened from beginning to end, so that the researchers can archive the case and use it for subsequent research.

Just like last time, this time, the four people were still separated, each was questioned, and each told the entire story of the case from their own perspective.

This time, it was still Professor Ning who received Lu Ming.

"We meet again, Lu Ming. Hello."

"Professor Ning, hello."

Professor Ning entered the inquiry room with a recorder. While sorting out the documents and tools in his hands, he chatted casually with Lu Ming.

"I heard that this incident was quite difficult? Except for Qing Liang, the internal staff, all three of you encountered accidents?"

Recalling what happened, Lu Ming was filled with emotion.

"Yeah, I almost didn't see you anymore."

If Lu Ming could not get rid of the infected state, of course he would not be able to return to normal work, and it would be impossible to see Professor Ning again.

That's exactly what's at stake for Operations Team field personnel. No one can predict in advance what dangers they will face in the future.

Taking this incident as an example, with a slight surprise, there will be a few more names on the list of victims of the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Agency this year.

"Well, luckily you are all back safely. So, let's get started?"

Lu Ming sorted out his thoughts, and recalled that he went to Haiye City for vacation, met Lin Shen by chance, and noticed something was wrong, and then started to investigate. Then he used Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang as a breakthrough point to find Dong'an Po, and then found the Destiny Organization, and then It is the God of Destiny, and this series of events is recounted in detail.

Although these things are included in the investigation report, they are still relatively sketchy there. There are many details here.

After listening to Lu Ming's speech, Professor Ning pondered for a moment and asked a question.

"At the beginning, after you realized that the God of Destiny was afraid of floods, why was your first choice not to flood it directly but to negotiate with it?"

This problem is more fatal.

After all, from an overall perspective, it was the best choice to flood the sarcophagus at that time. Maybe without communicating with the God of Destiny, it doesn't know the outside world's own plans at all, and it can just drown without any problems, and then everything will be fine?

Why didn't you make this choice? Could it be because Zhang Dingshan was still in a coma at that time and Lin Shen's luck had not returned to normal?

But you have to know that compared to the safety of the entire human world, just two lives can be sacrificed.

Lu Ming solemnly said: "The reason is very simple. At that time, no, even now, we were not sure whether the God of Destiny had any back-up plan. It would be easy to just flood it with water, but what happens after it is flooded?"

Once the water is released and flooded, it will directly push both sides into a life-or-death situation. At that time, if the God of Destiny has a backup plan, he will use it without hesitation.

And what that means, no one knows.

Like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear bombs that have not been launched are the most deterrent. Once a nuclear bomb is launched, it immediately loses its deterrent effect. And what are the consequences of losing deterrence?

It's a world war. It is a fight to the death.

"Lu Ming, I'm not questioning your choice. In fact, the final result proved that your choice of negotiation was correct. But I still want to know, when this decision was made, Captain Zhang Dingshan was in a coma, and Lin Shen, how much proportion do these two people play in your determination to make this decision?"

As if he was afraid that Lu Ming would misunderstand, Professor Ning continued to explain: "I just need this data to build a decision-making model to judge the decision-making mechanism of field workers when facing extreme situations."

This question is difficult to answer.

In hindsight, the decision to negotiate was certainly the right one. But at the time a decision is made, who can know whether it is correct or not? This means that there must be multiple factors involved in the decision-making process.

Every decision is made after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons. The members of Action Team 2 are like this, and so are ordinary people.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Ming said with difficulty: "I can't be sure. About...30%?"

This seems to mean that Lu Ming is suspected of harming the public with private interests.

Professor Ning smiled and said: "Lu Ming, don't have any psychological burden. We are all human beings, and since we are human beings, we cannot be completely public-minded. It is normal for selfishness to be involved in any decision-making. You have, I have it, Director Li has it, the Director has it, everyone has it. As long as you can realize this and try your best to eliminate the influence of selfishness on official affairs, you are a person of good moral character."

Lu Ming nodded silently.

Professor Ning looked at the notes and asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "I still have an immature idea."

"Oh? You said."

"I'm wondering whether our enemy... is the so-called God of Destiny."

"Why do you say that?"

“Because I found that all our investigative actions, including our entire set of logic for solving problems, can actually be explained in another way.

Maybe, there is no God of Destiny at all, maybe... it's just that there is a BUG in our universe. "

"BUG?"

"right."

Lu Ming organized his words: "Perhaps, the strange noise of the sarcophagus, Lin Shen's abnormal luck, the five core steps of performing sacrifices, and the perception of another universe, etc., etc., all of these... are just us Is there an error in the operating program of this universe?

Maybe our final solution to the problem, um, flooding, and negotiation, maybe we just artificially expanded the scope of this BUG, ​​and then it was noticed by the 'administrator' of our universe?

It was originally unaware of the existence of this bug, and this bug has been playing a role in our universe. Later, our actions caused it to notice it, and it took action to eliminate the bug, and everything returned to normal. "

"Lu Ming, are you saying that our universe is virtual and just a program?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "That's not what I meant. But at least we can't rule out this possibility, right?"

This is true.

The deeper we study basic physics, the more we feel the possibility that the universe is virtual.

If we understand it according to this explanation, it means that our side is just fighting a non-existent enemy from beginning to end. But the wrong, ineffective action had the right effect.

It's not that we and the God of Destiny have reached an agreement, but that these actions have attracted the attention of the "administrator", that's all.

Even when Lu Ming consulted Professor Yang Ning, he used Professor Yang Ning's conjecture as the basis for his subsequent decision-making. Among them, Professor Yang Ning's conjecture also hinted at the possibility of the existence of a higher dimension.

Professor Ning said: "If possible, suspending the sacrifices to the sarcophagus and voluntarily breaking the contract may be able to test whether the God of Destiny exists."

Lu Ming shook his head: "It cannot be confirmed. After all, we cannot rule out the possibility that sacrificing the sarcophagus happens to be one of the means needed to cover up this bug."

Suppose there is an online game world, and every NPC in the online game world has its own intelligence. In this online game world, due to the programmer's mistakes, a certain place appears. Once the NPCs move to this place, the thread will crash, causing the program to be damaged, causing the NPCs to disappear.

For NPCs, that place is a dangerous place.

Later, a strong NPC tried to destroy this dangerous place. Its frequent attacks have attracted the attention of programmers.

After the programmer discovered the BUG, ​​he tried to eliminate the BUG. But the process can be difficult. Later, the programmer discovered that the data of the ultimate move sent by the strong NPC - in the eyes of the programmer, those ultimate moves that could destroy the world are actually just data. Through some mechanism, these data can be used Use it yourself to make up for the shortcomings of this BUG land and make it look normal.

But these data cannot last for too long, and the strong NPC needs to come to perform power every once in a while to replenish the data.

So this situation will happen.

The strong NPC thought that he relied on his ultimate move to seal the land of death, and he needed to strengthen the seal every once in a while.

It seems that the programmer, based on those data, made this bug return to normal through certain processing.

Two perspectives, completely different.

Then, the continuous sacrifice of pregnant sows in our own world may also be the kind of data used to compensate for bugs.

At least logically, this cannot be falsified. Of course, it can't be confirmed.

And, for the whole set of logic that "there is a bug in the universe", it can neither be verified nor falsified.

This is just a guess by Lu Ming.

Professor Ning smiled and said: "Usually, we use Occam's razor to deal with this situation. Now that we have a more logical inference, why should we believe in another inference?"

Lu Ming nodded: "This is the only way we can deal with it now."

Anyway, things calmed down for the time being. And this is what the members of the second action team are most concerned about. As for how exactly it subsided, it doesn't really matter.

Lu Ming sighed: "Our human technology is still too backward. If our technology can be more developed and we can understand more about the mysteries of this universe, maybe we can find answers to many questions."

Professor Ning nodded and said, "That's true. But it takes time. And our duty is to escort the development of civilization and escort our civilization to a higher level."

Lu Ming nodded solemnly: "This is exactly the meaning of the existence of our Planetary Security Agency."

After the discussion ended, Professor Ning stood up and packed up his notes and tools with the recorder. Lu Ming asked casually: "Has the verdict of those people from the Destiny Organization come out?"

Professor Ning said: "Not yet. But it is basically certain that the number of people to be executed will be indispensable, and there must be twenty or thirty people. The rest, there must be a large number of people who have no life expectancy. Sacrifice of pregnant women, this kind of thing is too bad Yes, if we don’t punish them severely, there’s no way we can justify it.”

In this regard, Lu Ming nodded with deep sympathy.

"Okay, let's do this for today."

Professor Ning shook hands with Lu Ming: "I'm looking forward to hearing you tell me these wonderful stories next time."

A smile also appeared on Lu Ming's face: "Don't worry, I will come again."

After walking out of the research room, looking at the tall buildings outside the window and bathing in the sunshine, Lu Ming felt completely relaxed.

Next to them, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang also finished their inquiries and were waiting for Lu Ming. Seeing Lu Ming coming out at this moment, he immediately greeted him.

"Have you figured out how to spend the holidays?"

"I don't know. Do you have a good place?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's have a nice dinner together tonight? You pick the place, and I'll take it!"

"Let's go, let's go, we won't come back until we get drunk!"
