Paranormal incident investigation notes

"To summarize the current clues. Well, of course, I'm not sure these clues are true."

He Wei said: "First of all, the CSK-9602 galaxy is not an ordinary galaxy, but a higher-level creature - we temporarily call this creature a 'god'.

Any ordinary person who looks directly at the gods will fall into madness. Well, this sentence can be explained in more detail: it is not necessary to look directly and feel the appearance of gods, even if this appearance is presented through photos, it can achieve a crazy effect. And, the clearer the appearance and the more information, the faster the madness will occur. Also, judging from the current clues, even if you look at lower-definition photos, as long as the time is long enough, you can still achieve crazy effects.

And, there is a certain lower limit to this clarity. Once this lower limit is exceeded, it doesn’t matter how long you watch. We can conclude that previous observations of this galaxy and this picture taken have failed to reach this lower limit. So, nothing happened in the past.

Until the launch of the Mercury Space Telescope changed everything. Because its clarity is so high. As a result, some mortals on earth saw the appearance of gods, which caused these people to go crazy.

Luo Yang's notes indicate that he knew something deeper. He realized that looking directly at gods can lead to madness. At the same time, when people see gods, even if they see gods through pictures, gods can also see mortals through some unknown connection.

There is mutuality between the two. After that, the gods can come to the earth from billions of light years away through this strange connection. That is what Luo Yang said, ‘he is coming’.

These are pretty much the clues we have so far. "

Lu Qingliang pondered: "What this situation describes is similar to a certain type of fantasy novel. Cthulhu, have you heard of it?"

"Cthulhu? I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

Lu Qingliang explained: "This is a world view. In this world view, the origin of the universe is chaotic and crazy, and there is no rule or reason at all. In works that follow this world view, many inexplicable things usually happen Horrible events, such as people turning into monsters, such as sudden madness, etc.

In this worldview, the best solution to these horrific events is not to explore the truth. The closer you get to the truth, the closer you get to madness. Well, there is a saying to describe this state, the less you know, the longer you live. Also, ignorance is also a kind of happiness. "

"What does this have to do with the current case?"

"Of course it does. In the Cthulhu worldview, the bottom of the universe is chaotic and crazy, and there are many inexplicable existences. They are indescribable and indescribable, and human language and reason cannot describe their existence.

They are very powerful and can do many inexplicable things without following any rules. For example, ordinary people who see them and perceive them will be 'contaminated' by them and become crazy or their bodies will collapse and turn into monsters.

Some unconventional connections can also be used by them. For example, if you see them or even dream about them, you may be able to locate yourself and use this unconventional connection to transport yourself to another world. "

Lu Ming thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I can't understand the horror of this world view. It's too ridiculous. I don't think it has any connection with the real world."

Lu Qingliang said: "But the laws of physics also show that the bottom layer of the universe is also random. Moreover, this randomness is most likely an appearance."

In the previous case, Lu Ming had made relevant guesses, and based on this guess, he finally solved the case.

Lu Ming said: "But this kind of randomness also has laws. We can describe this kind of randomness through statistical mechanics. And, even if it is just the appearance of a deeper law, with the development of science and technology in our human world, there will always be corresponding The laws of physics were created to describe them."

Lu Qingliang concluded: "In short, you think that there are certain laws in our universe. Even if they are unknown for the time being, they are only limited by the level of science and technology. Once the level of science and technology is reached, corresponding theories will be born to describe them, right? ?”

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes."

"So, have you ever imagined such a situation: Suppose, suppose that in this incident, the CSK-9602 galaxy is really just the body of an ancient god in a certain Cthulhu world view, and it really is passed through That kind of indescribable influence exerts an influence on humans on the earth, and causes the madness of those who look directly at its body, and it really comes to the earth through this influence... If these are true, you can imagine Have you passed?"

Lu Ming thought about it carefully and felt a little shuddering.

If that was really the case, then Lu Ming's worldview would collapse.

Lu Qingliang said quietly: "Your worldview will collapse, and maybe you will become a madman, right? Then, how can you be sure that those who saw the star map did not become crazy because of the collapse of their worldview?"

Lu Ming took a deep breath: "At least all the existing evidence proves that our universe exists under the control of laws. Occam's razor can shave off the unnecessary worldview of Cthulhu."

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly: "The world view of Cthulhu can be regarded as an investigation direction worthy of reference."

He Wei nodded and asked, "Where should we start?"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should start from the point of 'how the star map causes people to become crazy'."

"Agree."

"I agree."

"Okay, let's have a night's rest and set off tomorrow to Nancheng City."

A night of silence. Early the next morning, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei arrived at the airport. At noon, we arrived at the Nancheng City Public Security Bureau.

Here, several members of the second operation team saw more detailed files, physical evidence, and video records. In the afternoon, I came to the mental hospital again and saw everyone from Zhou Tianyang's team and Luo Yang.

Zhou Tianyang was still staring blankly at the ceiling. Wang Yue was fixed on the hospital bed with restraints, but he still kept laughing sinisterly. A female student struggled regularly every few minutes, seemingly trying to sit up, but was restrained by the restraints, and finally had to lie down on the bed, and so on.

Luo Yang was still repeating the words "I know" on the hospital bed. But there is no pattern. Sometimes there was an interval of three to five minutes, and sometimes he seemed to be asleep, but suddenly he would say something again, as if he was talking in his sleep.

The doctors and nurses are all in dire straits. Some younger nurses would even tremble with fear when they came to this ward.

The Public Security Bureau specially deployed a group of armed security officers with live ammunition to be on duty here 24 hours a day and night. They were all tense and seemed ready to shoot at any moment.

Feeling the strange atmosphere mixed with the solemnity here, Lu Ming sighed secretly in his heart.

In any case, these people are all victims and have suffered unreasonable disasters.

Lu Ming's heart was heavy. He suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

Find out the truth, rescue the victims as much as possible, prevent more victims from appearing, and protect the stable development of the human world. This is the meaning of the existence of the 13th Division of the Planetary Security Bureau.

After looking at the victims, Lu Ming and the others went to the place where the incident originally occurred, the laboratory of Zhou Tianyang's team, and saw with their own eyes the projector and curtain in the conference room.

The place under strict security is still in the same state as when the incident occurred. Lu Ming saw with his own eyes the messy tables and chairs, the discolored blood stains, etc.

Here, Lu Ming and others certainly did not turn on the projector to take a look at the star map with their own eyes. That's not an investigation, that's seeking death.

After walking around, Lu Ming and the others met Li Hu in an office of the Nancheng City Public Security Bureau that was specially designated as an isolation room and guarded by armed security guards outside the door.

Since Luo Yang also went crazy, the local public security bureau made a decision to isolate and guard Li Hu.

Li Hu was still quite dissatisfied when he saw the three people.

"I want to resign, resign! If you don't trust me, why are you keeping me here? Are you sent here from above? You have to make the decision for me! Why should I be under house arrest!"

Lu Ming sighed.

In order to completely eliminate hidden dangers, Li Hu must be isolated and monitored from the standpoint of his superiors. This may make the client dissatisfied and give rise to a sense of distrust and humiliation, but this is not the time to consider the client's mood.

"Li Hu, you should know that during the war, after the soldiers captured by the enemy are released, no matter who they are, they must undergo a period of isolation investigation. Only after everything is cleared can they resume normal work. This may hurt It touches the hearts of some soldiers, but considering the overall situation, it is very necessary to do this. Li Hu, can you understand?"

Li Hu calmed down a little and remained speechless.

"A qualified soldier and a qualified security officer, at times like this, must understand the arrangements of superiors and fully cooperate. I think you can understand this too."

Li Hu said sadly: "I am a security guard. Such a big thing happened in my jurisdiction, but I was not allowed to participate in the investigation. What do you think this is? I am sure that this must be premeditated. Organized crime, seeing so many victims makes me anxious!"

"Premeditated, organized crime? Li Hu, tell us what you know."

Li Hu's words immediately aroused Zhang Dingshan's vigilance.

Li Hu said: "The thing is very obvious. There must be something weird on that star map. There must be some highly intelligent criminal gang that has tampered with it and added some elements such as psychological suggestion to complete the targeted attack! Just check Once you check the source of the data and see who has been in contact, there will definitely be clues!”

This is also a direction of investigation. But obviously, the value won't be too great.

After asking Li Hu some questions and realizing that they could not make any more discoveries, the three of them left together. After that, the three of them came to Luo Yang's team station together.

Since Luo Yang went crazy, this group of psychologists have also been temporarily under surveillance. It's not that I doubt them, but I'm worried about whether these people have been affected and whether they are in any danger.

After holding discussions with psychologists, Zhang Dingshan asked the most important question straightforwardly.

"Based on your research and analysis of Professor Luo Yang's information, how likely is it for you that this star map affects the victim through psychological suggestion or other mental and psychological factors?"

The psychologists were silent for a long time, and finally, an older person answered on behalf of everyone.

"The possibility is very low. Based on our professional judgment, it is almost impossible. That kind of mechanism does not exist in the existing theory."

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly: "In the future, another group of psychologists may arrive to analyze this issue. I hope you can cooperate by then."

"No problem, definitely."

Zhang Dingshan changed the subject: "What do you think of Professor Luo Yang?"

It was still the older man who answered. He sighed first and then said: "Professor Luo... is young, competitive, and unwilling to admit defeat. He always thinks about identifying a new psychological mechanism and making some big discoveries."

The other people all felt the same and nodded slightly.

This comes from the unanimous judgment of the team members, allowing Zhang Dingshan to conclude that Luo Yang did not hesitate to strengthen the "psychological suggestion" behavior without authorization in order to advance the research. It is more likely that it was his independent behavior rather than someone else's. A driving force from the outside world. In other words, it was his independent behavior that was the main factor.

Having determined this, no valuable conclusions can be drawn from the team of psychologists for the time being. The three of them said goodbye and left.

After that, the three people came to the Mercury Space Telescope base again. Here, they reviewed in detail the daily work, processes, and mechanisms of the telescope, especially the original process of photographing the CSK-9602 galaxy. They confirmed that everything was normal and nothing happened here. After an unexpected incident, the three had to leave.

Up to this point, the three of them have mastered all the information currently available. The directions that can be tried are also verified one by one. But the final result was still at a loss.

The second operation team now faced the same dilemma as the original task force.

The three of them felt at the same time that at this moment, they needed a breakthrough.

During the internal meeting, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang, who participated in the meeting via video, all set their sights on Lu Ming at the same time.

They hope Lu Ming can find this breakthrough.

Lu Ming sat in his seat and thought quietly. The other three people waited silently.

After a long time, Lu Ming sighed softly.

"I don't believe that our universe belongs to the so-called Cthulhu worldview. But frankly speaking, at this moment, apart from the so-called Cthulhu, I can't figure out what is the cause of all this."
