Paranormal incident investigation notes

Lu Ming's shout broke the tranquility of the evening. There was immediate movement in this heavily guarded base. A group of patrolling guards quickly ran over, and several of them had even raised their firearms.

After seeing clearly that it was Lu Ming, the leading guard breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting, he asked, "Chief Lu, what happened?"

"It's okay. No, you go prepare the helicopter, immediately! Now!"

Realizing that the situation was urgent, the leading guard hurriedly said yes and left immediately.

At this time, both He Wei and Zhang Dingshan's doors were opened. The two looked at Lu Ming solemnly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Ming looked at He Wei: "I want to conduct as detailed an investigation as possible on the Nanli Laser Research Institute. I want to know what they are doing, but I must not alert anyone there. What should I do? By the way, It’s assumed the people inside are on high alert.”

He Wei only thought for a moment and immediately replied: "In this case, I will use a large number of drones to conduct reconnaissance from high altitude. As long as the altitude is raised to more than 300 meters, there will be no sound from the ground. We have special drones. Man-machine, at this height, can..."

"Okay, that's it! Come with me quickly, bring more drones like this, bring more drone pilots, and bring more guards, let's go!"

"Lu Ming, what happened?!"

"It's too late to explain. Come with me! Hurry! If it's later, I'm afraid it won't be in time!"

Sensing Lu Ming's eagerness and solemnity, the two of them didn't hesitate any longer. They gave orders and immediately followed Lu Ming's footsteps.

Hurrying to the place where the helicopter was parked, a few people saw that the place had become a mess. Hundreds of guards and drone pilots lined up and rushed over in a hurry, while the logistics staff moved big boxes one after another. They didn't even have time to open them and piled them directly into the helicopter.

In less than ten minutes, everything was ready. Lu Ming and the other three also jumped on a helicopter and immediately took off with a roar.

Until this moment, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and the many guards didn't even know where they were going or what they were going to do.

Lu Ming pulled out a high-precision map, looked at it, and directly pointed his finger on a point: "Go here!"

Zhang Dingshan looked over and saw that it was a relatively gentle place in Nanli Mountain.

But there is nothing here, and there are no buildings. It doesn't look like it is valuable.

Zhang Dingshan didn't hesitate at all, he took the communicator directly and ordered: "Move to the following coordinates!"

Lu Ming also shouted: "Except for the drone pilot, everyone else is wearing equipment, the same equipment as during the encirclement and suppression battle a few days ago! Put it on now! Pilot, prepare the drone!"

So, even on the helicopter, the guards brought all their equipment with them. The same is true for He Wei.

The helicopter flew at full speed, and in just a few minutes, it arrived at the open space that Lu Ming pointed to. The helicopter landed with a roar, and all the guards jumped out.

"Lu Ming, what should we do next?"

Lu Ming looked at He Wei: "Take people and lurk to the Nanli Laser Research Institute, and then wait for the next order! Note that there may already be a gathering place for monsters. Be careful and stay hidden so as not to be caught by them. Discover!"

He Wei was startled: "Monster gathering place? What do you mean? Aren't all the monsters killed?"

"It's too late to explain, go ahead!"

"Okay, half an hour at most!"

Only then did Zhang Dingshan realize that the place chosen by Lu Ming happened to be the closest place suitable for a helicopter to land without disturbing the Laser Research Institute.

"Lu Ming, why do you say that the Nanli Laser Research Institute may have become a gathering place for monsters? What did you think of?"

"I thought of a possibility within the scientific system that could completely explain this incident."

Lu Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead with some trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "This portends terrible consequences. What I am doing now is to investigate the situation and verify this idea.

Captain, the logic here is very complicated and I can't explain it clearly in a short time. Now, let's do some research now, I hope my guess is wrong, I hope it is wrong...

Are the drones ready? alright? Okay, captain, go and command the drone formation, be careful not to disturb them..."

Lu Mingyue acted as his agent and issued the order directly on Zhang Dingshan's behalf. Zhang Dingshan's face was full of solemnity, but without any hesitation, he directly passed Lu Ming's request as the on-site commander.

At this most urgent moment, he chose to trust Lu Ming without reservation.

Dozens of silent large-scale multi-rotor drones took off with a roar and quickly flew into the high altitude. The sounds they made quickly became smaller until they could no longer be detected.

At an altitude of hundreds of meters, these drones quickly rushed towards the Nanli Laser Research Institute and reached the sky above the research institute in a short time. The investigation began.

It was already night. The lights of these drones have been turned off and they are hundreds of meters above the ground, making them impossible to see with the naked eye. And these drones are silent models, so there is no need to worry about the sound being heard at this distance.

Facing the Nanli Laser Research Institute, which is located at the highest point of the surrounding terrain, using drones to conduct reconnaissance from a higher place is indeed the best method.

Dozens of drone pilots gathered together and concentrated on controlling the drones. The images they sent back also occupied dozens of screens.

A map was displayed on the screen in front of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming. There were dozens of red dots on the map. Lu Ming knew that each red dot represented a drone. If you want to use which drone perspective, select it, and the footage captured by it will be displayed on the screen.

At this moment, Lu Ming chose a drone located above the center of the research institute and opened its screen.

Under night, the Nanli Laser Research Institute is clearly visible using a low-light lens. Then Lu Ming saw that the projector array that he had placed there to project pictures of the Magic Eye Galaxy on the cliff had now disappeared.

After completing their own tasks, these projectors were disposed of by the Laser Research Institute. Now, no idea where they got these projectors.

Lu Ming's expression became more solemn.

He was thinking hard, thinking quickly. At this moment, he was so focused that he didn't even notice the sweat flowing into his eyes.

Even though Zhang Dingshan had millions of questions in his mind at this moment, he wisely chose not to disturb Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was carefully observing the situation inside the Laser Research Institute.

He saw that there was nothing strange inside the institute.

The street lights were on as always, and most of the room lights in the institute building were off, with only a few rooms still on.

After all, it was already off-duty time, so it was normal for most rooms to turn off the lights.

There were people walking slowly in the courtyard, some coming out of the building, and some going in. The number of people is a bit smaller, which is also normal.

No matter which way you look at it, everything here is normal.

"Can a drone directly capture the scene inside the room of the research institute building?"

"able."

The leader of the drone pilot team immediately replied: "As long as you find the right angle, even if the lights are turned off in the room, the low-light lens can capture it. Not only that, if someone is talking inside, the drone can also eavesdrop." "

Lu Ming was surprised.

It is understandable that the picture was captured, but the sound was eavesdropped. How is this possible?

There are several hundred meters between them, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.

The person in charge quickly said: "Sound waves will cause the glass to vibrate. The laser seismometer on the drone can capture this vibration of the glass in real time, and then through decoding, it can be restored into a sound that we humans can hear."

"Okay, check room by room. If you detect anyone there, report it immediately."

"yes."

Lu Ming originally thought that the results would appear soon. After all, even if it was off work at this moment, there should be many people in the building.

But unexpectedly, no one reported it after more than ten minutes.

The leader of the pilot team said: "Excluding the windowless rooms inside, there are a total of 136 rooms in the institute building. So far, 89 have been investigated, and no human figures have been photographed, and no sounds have been captured."

"Not even in the room with the lights on?"

"No."

"Continue investigating."

"yes."

The drone eventually surveyed all 136 rooms in total. The final result turned out to be that among so many rooms, there was only one person in one room.

Lu Ming immediately recognized this room.

Lu Ming had been in and out of this room many times before when the projector array was being set up in the Nanli Laser Research Institute.

It is the control room of the institute. Staff at the Laser Institute can control the operation of various instruments and equipment and monitor their status here.

Lu Ming gave the command to switch the screen, so the picture taken by a drone facing the room was displayed on the screen.

It was a room with the lights off. In the room, only the light from the display screens provided light for the room, and reflected the faces.

There are dozens of people sitting in front of dozens of computers and busy operating. There were a few people standing there quietly, as if supervising the work.

"This is the sound that was monitored."

The sound restored by detecting the vibration of the glass was played.

Lu Ming heard the sound of typing on the keyboard, but there was nothing else.

There was no one in the room with the lights on, and everyone gathered in the control room with the lights off...

What exactly does this mean?

Lu Ming didn't know.

He couldn't be sure whether most of the people who were studying were gathered here just because they had some projects to do, and whether the lack of lights in the room was just due to some kind of need - such as some optical needs, after all. This is an optical research institute, and no one is speaking at this moment just because there is no need to speak.

Or... is there really something weird?

Lu Ming couldn't be sure just through remote observation with a drone. At the same time, due to some worries, Lu Ming was unable to send people to sneak into the research institute for on-site observation.

He was afraid of alerting the enemy - if the people in the institute were really enemies at this moment.

Time passed bit by bit, and at this moment, it was completely dark. The lights in Nancheng City in the distance have been lit, clearly visible in the dark night sky.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people are enjoying a rare leisure time. Lu Ming could even imagine that the food street where all kinds of delicacies gathered would be crowded with people.

Buddies drinking and chatting, couples on dates, best friends at parties, couples with children...

Every store was probably full, and people were even starting to queue up.

Major shopping malls should be equally crowded with people, and the roads are busy with traffic...

This is a city with a population of more than 900,000. Although it is not ranked high among human civilizations, in terms of absolute size, it is still not small.

It carries hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands of laughter and tears.

There was more sweat on Lu Ming's forehead.

Time passed bit by bit. With every second that passes, the risk hidden in the dark increases.

Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ming: "Let He Wei sneak in directly to investigate?"

"No, no." Lu Ming's sweaty head shook slightly: "If the people in the Laser Research Institute have turned into monsters - or in other words, they are just monsters that still maintain human appearance, once they are alerted , if they flee in all directions, there are too few people in He Wei to stop them."

"Then mobilize the garrison! Surround the research institute! The field army hasn't withdrawn yet!"

Lu Ming looked at the map.

If we want to complete the encirclement without alerting the people inside the institute, the encirclement must be greatly expanded. This is a mountainous area with complex terrain and lush jungles.

To complete the siege, a few thousand people are not enough. However, the mobilization of thousands of people takes too long...

I'm afraid there's not enough time...

"Let's notify the garrison first, but it shouldn't be too late. Be careful, you must march in a concealed manner, and don't alert them..."

Zhang Dingshan took out the phone and called directly.

Lu Ming once again focused his attention on the screen captured by the drone.

He saw that at this moment, in the control room of the Laser Research Institute with the lights out, besides the sound of typing on the keyboard, there was finally other movement.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. The sound of thumping footsteps came, and under the low-light camera, a monster with a small pointy head and a body full of ferocious bone spurs came over carrying an iron plate.

monster?

monster!

Lu Ming's whole body was filled with excitement.

The next moment, a scene that made him even more horrified appeared.

The monster came to stand behind a researcher who was typing on the keyboard. The researcher turned around, stretched out his hand, plucked out one of his eyeballs and put it on the plate.

After that, he turned around again and started typing on the keyboard, and the monster came behind the next person with an iron plate.
