Paranormal incident investigation notes

"stop!"

Following Lu Ming's order, the criminal playing the role of the robber stopped and put away the knife. In front of him, three close relatives of the victims of the Wang Quan Curse Case were breathing heavily, still looking a little shocked.

"You performed very well, not bad."

With a smile on his face, Lu Ming tried his best to comfort these people who, although they knew they were acting, still instinctively felt fear.

"Let's go, it's over."

The criminal was taken back to prison again. Close friends of the three victims received their own payments, each worth 10,000 yuan.

"goodbye……"

Seeing the three people leaving, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the last one. The captain, He Wei, and Qing Liang should have finished it as well."

Back at the base, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were already waiting here in advance. Lu Qingliang has also returned to the headquarters and participated in the meeting via video.

"It's all done, everything went well."

"all the best."

"Me too."

After a full month of work, 422 people and 422 scenes were completed.

"Today's report from the special service team has been sent. Statistics show that those families and people who have completed the treatment have not encountered any more serious accidents since the treatment was completed until today."

If a family or individual did not encounter an accident, it might be a coincidence, but at this moment, hundreds of families and individuals are all like this, which can no longer be explained by coincidence.

This seems to mean that our own handling methods have really paid off. This incident... may actually have been resolved.

Those who died cannot be resurrected, and those families who have suffered misfortune can no longer recover. But at least, our actions and investigations have indeed achieved results, and we have truly saved the lives and destiny of at least thousands of people.

We can no longer expect more.

Because we are only mortals. We have no superpowers, and we are not gods. All we can do is try our best and do our best, that's all.

"Follow-up observation is still essential. In my opinion... it will take at least another year of observation."

"Can."

Zhang Dingshan directly agreed to He Wei's proposal.

After confirming the follow-up arrangements, this incident has finally come to an end.

But in the silence, no one said the word "case closed".

After a long time, Lu Qingliang sighed: "This incident can be regarded as an unnecessary disaster, right? I used to live peacefully on the earth, not provoking anyone, but a black hole several light years away passed by. It inexplicably claimed so many lives.

Our human civilization, no, our individuals, each person, each life, what does it mean to this universe..."

This is more unlucky than walking on the road and having your head smashed by tiles falling from the sky.

It cannot be predicted, cannot be prevented, and cannot be changed after it occurs. If it weren't for our own investigation, even if he died in the end, he wouldn't know what happened.

Lu Ming said silently: "What a stone means to the universe, what a person means to the universe. The human body is just a combination of various elements and compounds, and consciousness only comes from its complex structure. In this respect, a man is no different to the universe than a stone."

"So... no one cares about the loss of a life. Just like no one cares about the collision of two stones in the distant space, and one of them is broken."

He Wei murmured: "Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs."

"Yes. The great road of heaven and earth, or the laws of the operation of all things in the universe, exist like that. All things in heaven and earth are treated equally. They will not be biased against you because you are a human being, nor will they impose additional malice on you because you are a stone. Everything. It’s all the same, everything is meaningless to heaven and earth.”

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly, making all three people look at him.

"This is the road of heaven and earth, not the road of us humans. Although the laws of the universe cannot be changed, it does not mean that there are no opportunities for us humans.

To combat disease, we developed modern medicine.

In order to fill our stomachs, we have developed improved varieties and higher planting techniques, built water conservancy projects, and even artificial rainfall.

By the way, to live comfortably, we have built high-rise buildings and air-conditioned TVs.

In order to dress warmly, we have created a variety of clothes that are both warm and beautiful...

This is our human path. At the same time, it is also the meaning of the existence of civilization. "

Lu Ming murmured: "The meaning of civilization's existence..."

Zhang Dingshan looked at him: "The existence of our second action team is also a part of it, and it is also a manifestation of the meaning of civilization. Not only us, but also security guards, doctors, scientists, workers, farmers, teachers, everyone. It is the embodiment of the meaning of civilization.

Civilization has provided for us, and we must feed civilization back and make it better. "

Lu Ming nodded silently.

Zhang Dingshan said: "Let's close the case. It's time to go back to the headquarters."

He Wei nodded silently. Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. We first dealt with families No. 725 and 816. I want to see their current living conditions."

"Okay. This is the daily record submitted by the special service team."

Lu Qingliang opened some videos, and Lu Ming saw that in the videos, the mother and daughter from family No. 725 were walking together while chatting. Both of them looked relaxed and cheerful, and seemed to be in a good mood.

They were also carrying a bag with the XX supermarket logo printed on it, and some vegetables and fruits could be vaguely seen inside.

"Family No. 725, the daughter is about to start school and will leave for college in a few days. The mother also recently found a job in a supermarket. Although she is a little tired, at least she no longer has to endure the wind and sun outdoors. The salary It's also a little higher than before.

My daughter has also begun to contact work-study positions, and with the support of the school, she has already made plans. Although I don’t earn much money, I can still support my daily school life. In addition, in recent years, the employment situation of her major has been very good, and it is estimated that this will not change in a few years. As long as she doesn't commit suicide, she can find a similar job as soon as she graduates.

Not only is this family rich, but it still has great hope of maintaining a well-off family. Well, there's a lot of hope. "

Lu Ming nodded, feeling inexplicably touched in his heart.

Another video starts playing. Lu Ming saw in the picture that the old man from family No. 816 was carrying a hoe and had just returned to the newly renovated old house.

There is actually an air conditioner on the outer wall of the old house.

This seems to indicate that the old couple's life is not bad. After all, they are old, have no children to rely on, and have little other income. How can they be willing to install air conditioners? There is no other explanation except that they live a good life and have spare money.

"The local civil affairs department has gone through the subsistence allowance procedures for the elderly couple, and with various subsidies and supports, it seems that there will be no problem for the elderly couple to spend their old age peacefully."

At dusk, a small table was placed in the small courtyard, with a plate of fried vegetables and a small pot of ribs on it. In the pot is millet and mung bean porridge, and on the grate are snow-white steamed buns.

The old couple each sat on the pony, talking about something and eating slowly. In the house, a TV series was playing on the TV, and faint shouts of murder could be heard.

Seeing that the lives of both families were pretty good, Lu Ming finally felt a little comfort in his heart.

This made him feel that his existence was indeed meaningful and that he had indeed done something.

"Let's go."

The three of them got up, packed some important things, and got in the car.

After saying goodbye to the staff at the base, the three set off for the airport.

As for the base where Wang Quan is imprisoned, it will continue to exist for a long time. The research on Wang Quan will not stop, and even if his abilities eventually disappear, he will not be let out.

Even if Wang Quan eventually dies of old age, his body will be strictly kept.

After finally returning to the headquarters and meeting Lu Qingliang, the four of them sighed.

After a night's rest, the four of them came to the headquarters again the next day and began to follow the procedures and accept inquiries from the research department.

The person who took notes for Lu Ming was still an old acquaintance, Professor Ning.

"Hello Lu Ming, we meet again. Congratulations to your second team for successfully handling another supernatural case."

Lu Ming rubbed his forehead: "I feel like this time it can't be considered a complete success. There are still some shortcomings."

"Oh? Then, tell us in detail?"

"good."

Lu Ming described the incident in detail. From the Zhang Lu suicide case at the beginning, to the customs of Nanlin Street, to the Zhou family archway, to the master, to catching Wang Quan, and then experimenting again and again, studying and thinking again and again, groping again and again, and finally locking the black hole, The whole process of finding the black hole, being inspired to adopt the method of "giving you a reason to commit suicide", and ultimately preventing those families who have not yet suffered from misfortune from suffering misfortune, is all told.

This took a full day. It was now evening.

Professor Ning and his assistant recorded everything in detail.

After finishing the story, Professor Ning pondered: "At present, there are still two things that have not been clarified. First, what is the specific mechanism that uses the power of black holes to make victims commit suicide? Second, why is Wang Quan, or Wang Those masters before Quan? Do you have any thoughts on these two issues?"

Lu Ming organized his words before saying: "As for the first question, my idea is that it is possible that the black hole swallowed up the 'information' of those suicide victims."

"Information?" Professor Ning was stunned.

Information relies on matter, or energy. Information cannot exist independently. Because it's not something that actually exists at all.

A particle moves at 80% of the speed of light, the direction is forward, the particle's mass is so-and-so, its spin is one-half, etc. The description of these physical properties is its information.

It "loses" this information, which means that its physical state has been changed. Changes in physical state mean changes in energy and mass. But energy and mass are conserved and cannot disappear into thin air.

"The black hole affects the information of the particles that make up the victim, causing the person to lose the concept of being a person as a whole. And losing the concept of a person, it is obvious that this person can no longer live in the world. And, the simplest What's the quickest way to die? Suicide."

Lu Ming looked at Professor Ning: "So they chose to commit suicide. I guess - just a guess, this is the reason why black holes cause people to commit suicide."

Professor Ning nodded slowly: "It makes sense logically. But in fact, I'm afraid it can't be verified."

"yes."

Looking at it this way, the process is like this: the black hole affects people's information, and in order to explain this "loss of information", they must die. The simplest, fastest, and most economical way to die is suicide.

So these people committed suicide.

Later, in order to explain the suicides of these people, there must be a reason. The simplest, fastest, and most economical reason for suicide is to start with those close to you.

Then their close ones begin to suffer bad luck.

The whole process is like this. Of course, as Lu Ming said, it is just a guess.

This question may never be truly answered. All that can be done at present is just conjecture.

Professor Ning no longer paid attention to this issue, but asked: "So, do you have any idea about the influence of black holes and why they follow the instructions of Wang Quan or the other masters?"

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, thinking for a long time, and even thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, racking his brains to squeeze his thoughts, but in the end he still found nothing.

He shook his head: "I don't know. I can't figure it out, and I can't find any possible reason."

Professor Ning's expression gradually became more serious.

"I have a little guess about this issue."

"oh?"

Lu Ming made a gesture of listening.

Professor Ning said slowly: "I noticed that you mentioned the word 'explanation' many times in your previous conjecture. In order to explain the loss of information, the victim needs to commit suicide. In order to explain the victim's suicide, the victim's close people need to commit suicide." Need to suffer bad luck.

So... could the existence of Wang Quan and those masters, and even the existence of black holes... be just explanations? "

"This..." Lu Ming hesitated at first. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Professor Ning's words. But after thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He stood up suddenly and stared at Professor Ning with horror and shock, unable to say a word.

He really hadn't thought of this before. And, if this is really the case, doesn't it mean that the so-called Wang Quan and the so-called black hole... are not actually the real reasons?

If the existence of Wang Quan and those masters, and even the existence of the black hole itself, are just an "explanation" for a certain event or a certain problem, then the real logic of the matter will be like this.

The original logic was that in order to explain the loss of information, the victim would need to commit suicide.

But at this moment, in order to explain the loss of information, logic requires that there must be an existence that causes this phenomenon, so black holes appear. Because the emergence of black holes can explain this loss of information.

At the same time, in order to explain "why the influence of the black hole is precisely directed at these individuals," Wang Quan appeared, and those masters appeared.

Wang Quan cursed those people, so the influence of the black hole was precisely directed at these people.

In this logic, neither the black hole nor the king is the essence of the event. Their role in this set of logic is just that of tool people.

To explain the loss of information, black holes appeared and Wang Quan appeared. Wang Quan cursed them, the black hole's influence affected them, and they committed suicide.

Professor Ning slowly said: "Is it possible that the 'loss of information' of those people was their destined fate. Later, 'the black hole appeared, Wang Quan cursed, he committed suicide, and his relatives suffered misfortune' was what followed." Series explanation?

Is it possible that all these explanations are just to answer the question of why information is lost? "

Lu Ming barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart and gasped: "This means there is an external force."

"Yes. That external force caused the loss of those people's information. Then, our universe evolved a series of causes of this incident on its own, creating black holes, creating Wang Quan and a series of masters, and creating victims. Doom for loved ones.”

"So, the question 'why Wang Quan' doesn't hold true at all. Because Wang Quan and those masters are just tool men. Without Wang Quan there would be Li Quan, without Li Quan there would be Zhang Quan. There will always be a curser The only thing that appeared was that the cursed person who appeared happened to be named Wang Quan."

Lu Ming murmured: "So... what exactly is that external force?"

Professor Ning was silent.

Lu Ming was also silent.

There is really no way to answer this question. Even the imagination is a bit unimaginable.

It took a long time for Lu Ming to break free from this imagination.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There's still no need to think about it. I can't think clearly. No matter what, this incident is over. Those close to the victim will no longer suffer bad luck, and they should not suffer any more." There are new victims appearing. What we can do now is our limit."

Professor Ning nodded with deep sympathy: "Indeed, it has reached the limit. Then... let's do this for today."

Professor Ning stood up and shook hands with Lu Ming: "I'm looking forward to hearing the story you tell us next time we meet again."

"do not worry."

After bidding farewell to Professor Ning, Lu Ming walked out of the research room.

Breathing the fresh air from the outside world, looking at the full moon in the sky, and listening to the faint sound of car horns outside the headquarters, Lu Ming sighed softly.

"It's finally over. Let's go, Lu Ming, let's have a dinner."

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang seemed to have been waiting for a long time. It's so late and I haven't eaten yet.

"Walking around, I'm starving. By the way, I heard from Li Chu that we seem to have made some meritorious deeds this time, and Chu Li will reward us again."

"Give me more money, I'm going to die of poverty. Don't just give me a plaque and give it away. What's the use of that thing?"

"Be content with yourself, how many people want this plaque but still don't have it..."

"Can I sell it to you?"

"Okay, but you have to sell it together with the award ceremony and meritorious service records. As long as you dare to sell it, I dare to buy it. Is one hundred thousand okay? No, what about half a million?"

"Go to hell."

…

The sixth volume of "Notes on the Investigation of Supernatural Events" "Destiny" is completed.
