After finalizing the follow-up action plan, the second operation team went out again and randomly selected a tree at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Blue Lake City.

The tree is about six to seven meters tall and its trunk is about 20 centimeters in diameter. The branches are luxuriant and very healthy.

The conclusion that it is very healthy was confirmed by a team of specialized botanists after detailed measurements. This means that if there is no accident, it is unlikely to die in a short time.

After selecting the target, Wang Quan, who was detained in the base for investigation under heavy security, was brought out again.

During this period of time, under the attack of bottles of beer and roast chickens and ducks, Wang Quan had become good friends with the researcher who studied him. Wang Quan never followed the researcher's instructions. They all obeyed and cooperated very well.

At this moment, the researcher took Wang Quan to the randomly selected tree.

"This tree blocks the sunlight, and the things I plant here can't grow well." The researcher made a random excuse: "Wang Quan, will you help me get rid of it?"

Wang Quan said excitedly: "Your matter is my matter. Don't worry, I will help you get rid of it."

After "interacting" with the tree, Wang Quan was brought back to the base again. The researcher gave him paper and pen, and he began sketching, and subsequently cursing.

At the same time, next to the tree, a specially mobilized team of botanists has installed various surveillance equipment on the tree. Not only that, they will collect some specimens from the tree every ten minutes for study to confirm whether the state of the tree has changed.

Of course, all these observations and research measures have a premise, and they are all carried out on the premise that they will not have a major impact on the tree - at least they will not cause the death of the tree.

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming were also looking at the tree in the tent set up nearby, waiting for the changes that might happen to it.

Jingle Bell……

The phone rings. Zhang Dingshan answered the call, nodded slightly, and hung up the phone.

"Wang Quan has completed the curse." Zhang Dingshan said: "Based on past experience, there is a high probability that changes will occur on this tree before tonight. Just wait."

"yes."

In the field experiment vehicle, botanists frequently tested specimens from that tree and observed the data provided by the monitoring equipment.

Time flew by minute by minute. Before I knew it, it was already evening. The sky also quietly gathered dark clouds, and it seemed like it was about to rain.

"This is normal." He Wei said: "The weather forecast originally predicted rain tonight."

Lu Ming nodded. At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the field experiment vehicle.

Lu Ming and the others walked over quickly and saw several botanists facing the testing equipment, looking at some parameters on it with shock on their faces.

"what's going on?"

"This tree, this tree... it's dead."

"What? Dead?"

Lu Ming was a little confused. He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the tree dozens of meters away was as usual, unchanged from before.

It is still firmly rooted in the earth, and the huge canopy is full of fresh green leaves. Under the gentle breeze, the crown of the tree swayed slowly, making a rustling sound.

How can this... be said to be dead?

"How is this possible? We collect specimens every ten minutes. The specimen ten minutes ago showed that everything was normal. How is it possible that the specimen now shows that it is dead? Something went wrong? Xiao Wang! Collect another specimen! "

Zhang Dingshan took a step forward and said solemnly: "Professor Li, what are your criteria for judging the death of a tree?"

The researcher named Xiao Wang hurried to collect specimens, and Professor Li explained: "My habit is to treat a tree as a whole. When it loses one or several important functions, It was judged to be dead.”

He Wei murmured: "But this tree has obviously not changed at all. Its leaves are still so many and so green..."

Professor Li said: "The standard for judging human death is brain death. But you should know that after the death of the human brain, some nerve cells can still survive for several hours. After some people die, their nails and hair will continue to grow. This means that there are cells living in the corresponding parts.

From a local perspective, there are still cells alive, but from a global perspective, this person is undoubtedly dead.

This is how I judge the life and death of this tree. Previous specimens showed that it had lost a very important function, and the rest of it was only partially alive, if at all. As a tree, it is dead.

It looks the same now, which is no surprise. When a person just dies, there is no difference from when he was alive, right? The body is still warm. The tree now is at the stage after it has died, similar to when a human being is still warm.

But, it's strange... He was fine before, how could he suddenly die? "

Professor Li was puzzled. The researcher named Xiao Wang took new specimens. After testing them again, Professor Li became more and more confused.

"My previous analysis was correct. He is indeed dead. It's really strange..."

As of now, there have been no surprises. The tree is still standing there fine.

But is it already a "corpse" at this moment?

But what's the reason?

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "What is the cause of death of this tree?"

Professor Li looked at Zhang Dingshan in surprise: "As I said, a certain function has been lost. It's just like a person's heart stops beating and the brain can no longer direct the body's organs to work."

Zhang Dingshan paused and asked in a different way: "What is the reason for the loss of that function? Why is this function lost?"

Professor Li shook his head: "I don't know. That's why I say it's strange... There are many possible reasons for this result, such as radiation, certain chemicals, such as..."

As soon as Professor Li finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, shaking all the trees. The sky became increasingly gloomy, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, hitting the tree that was chosen at random.

With a click, a thick branch suddenly broke and fell from the tree.

Professor Li was stunned. After a moment, he murmured: "For example, a lightning strike..."

Lu Ming's expression suddenly became serious.

Lightning strike? Can a lightning strike also cause the loss of important functions necessary to keep a tree alive?

Before, without any changes, the tree inexplicably lost this function and was judged as "dead" by Professor Li. Now, has the reason been revealed?

The reason turned out to be a lightning strike? Moreover, the cause of the lightning strike occurred after the death of the tree?

Could it be that the speculation of inversion of cause and effect is actually true? Did the trees we experimented with earlier die first, and then did lightning strikes, chemicals, felling, etc. occur later?

"Professor Li, you are busy first, let's go first."

The three people left the experimental vehicle and returned to the tent.

"Is it really the inversion of cause and effect?"

Lu Ming murmured: "It's unbelievable, it's too unbelievable. One test may not be rigorous enough. Try it again. This time find a dead object."

Zhang Dingshan said silently: "That's fine."

This time, the second operation team found an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Blue Lake City. Wang Quan was brought here again, and under the instruction of the researcher, he cursed the factory.

Afterwards, the second operation team directed the investigators to install various detection devices on the abandoned factory building to monitor the temperature, wind direction, wind speed and other data here in real time.

It was already dark now. Light rain began to fall in the sky, and the temperature dropped. The raindrops accompanied by the strong wind hit the human body, freezing to the bone.

Amidst the various sounds of crashing and whining, under the watchful eyes of the investigators, the factory building suddenly collapsed, and the steel collided with the wreckage, making a huge roar.

Lu Ming looked at the instrument in surprise. It showed that there was no strong wind enough to cause the collapse of the factory building at this moment, or any other reasons.

But it just fell over, for no reason, and turned into a wreckage.

The next moment, Lu Ming saw the numbers on the dashboard suddenly increase.

A strong wind appeared. And it completely reached the level of blowing down a factory building.

But...the factory building collapsed before it appeared.

"Yes, did the 'destiny' of the factory's collapse appear in advance? The cause of its collapse was the strong wind. When the result of the factory's collapse was brought forward, the cause appeared later..."

No more experiments need to be done. This experiment with plants and dead objects is enough to explain many problems.

meeting room. He Wei informed Lu Qingliang of the results of the two tests conducted today.

Lu Qingliang said slowly: "If it is really the inversion of cause and effect, and Wang Quan's curse does not cause the death of a person, but advances the 'result' of this person's death before the 'cause', then... I'm afraid we There is no use whatever you do.

The outcome has been determined, the fate has been sealed. This is an unchangeable fate. "

The results have really happened. What happens to those close to the deceased at this moment is just a belated "cause".

Everything is destined, everything is unchangeable.

In this case, no matter how many resources we can mobilize and do more things, what is the use?

Faced with this fate that has already been determined and has already happened, no matter what we do, it will be meaningless.

Lu Ming felt a huge coercion, as if a person was standing in front of a tsunami that was a hundred meters high, or as if a person were standing in front of towering mountains that were collapsing.

No matter how you do it, no matter what you do, it is useless and meaningless.

What is destined to happen, will happen.

He Wei murmured: "In this case, those close friends of the deceased who have not yet suffered misfortune, they... cannot be saved? They will inevitably encounter misfortune, be in miserable circumstances, and even die miserably? They, they... "

He Wei murmured, her voice gradually getting lower and disappearing. She was already speechless.

If it were a real enemy, He Wei would never be afraid. In some cases, He Wei was never afraid of mutated alien monsters.

But at this moment, she couldn't think of any resistance.

How to fight? As a human being, how can one fight against the "destiny" that has been doomed?

Lu Ming was also silent. While silent, his brain was still working rapidly.

In a moment, he found a loophole.

"No, it's not fate. If Wang Quan's curse can't kill a person, but just makes that person's future tragic fate come to this moment in advance...how is it possible that everyone he curses happens to have a tragic fate in the future? ?

Just like today, we randomly selected a tree and an abandoned factory, and then asked Wang Quan to curse it. Is it such a coincidence that we happened to select a tree or factory that was "destined" to die in the future? "

There will definitely be people who will have a tragic fate in the future. But how is it possible that those people Wang Quan selected as the target of the curse happened to be everyone?

This is unreasonable.

Lu Qingliang looked at Lu Ming and said quietly: "Is there a possibility that encountering Wang Quan and being cursed is also part of the fate? Has it been... destined?"

Lu Ming was stunned.

He really hadn't considered this statement before.

According to this statement, it is not that everyone cursed by Wang Quan happens to have a tragic future, but it is precisely because these people have a tragic future that they happen to meet Wang Quan. Become a victim of the curse.

That makes sense.

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, but still shook his head.

"The bottom layer of the universe is random. Every person, every pig, every tree has infinite possibilities for the future. The difference is only in the size of the possibility. There is no destined future or destiny at all."

Even if it is a pig raised in a professional pig farm - it is obviously very likely that it will be slaughtered after being raised, but there is also a very small probability of other fates.

For example, being selected to become a breeding pig can lead to a longer life, such as getting sick and dying during breeding, such as the pig farm closing down, piglets being sold, meeting a person who loves pigs, and becoming a pet pig...

Who can determine the fate of the future before it happens?

"However, the results have clearly come true - this is always real, right? If it is not fate, if the future is not already destined, how could the result be destined?"

Lu Ming thought for a long time and then said: "There are too many unknowns in this universe. It is also possible that the bottom layer of the universe is random. This is just our immature and superficial understanding of the universe. Maybe fate is really true." It can be destined.

If this is the case, then...the deceased who were cursed and committed suicide, and their close ones, are really hopeless. "
