Paranormal incident investigation notes

Answer: We have not asked the gods, but according to our analysis, it is very likely that they will.

Question: What are the arguments for the analysis?

Answer: The information you, the eavesdroppers, obtained from those ancient books. History has been passed down for such a long time, and there have been some interruptions. However, no matter whether it is decades or centuries, there will always be new worshipers appearing. Here, it is unreasonable to say that there is no active guidance from the gods.

Trial transcript, page 13.

Question: How did you join X organization?

Answer: I grew up in the church and received training in theology. Later, when I grew up, I went out to perform tasks.

Question: How does Organization X develop new members?

Answer: In Shang Jilong's time, in order to expand the strength of the cult and obtain sacrifices more conveniently, the leader recruited some members through secret preaching. But then, no new members were admitted for a long, long time.

Question: With so many of you going to the Kingdom of God, how many sacrifices did you make?

Answer: Each person needs a sacrifice.

Question: Why were you abandoned?

A: I think it’s because I don’t have a family and I grew up in a church. They don't trust me. Perhaps because the number of sacrifices was not enough, some people had to be given up.

Question: Don’t you know whether the number of sacrifices is sufficient?

Answer: Leader Mou Genshui told me enough, so I didn’t pay attention.

Q: How were you abandoned?

Answer: They told me to imprison the waiters in the dormitory area to prevent them from discovering any clues. I took all the waiters to the dormitory area, but the door was closed, locking me in. The oxygen supply and air circulation system then stopped. At that time, I thought you had invaded and an accident had occurred. I felt suffocated later, and I recalled that there might be a little fresh air leaking from the vent on the ceiling, so I hid there. Later, as time passed, I also fell into a coma.

Q: You actually knew at the time that it was not an accident, but that you were abandoned. It's just that you don't want to believe it.

Answer: Maybe so.

Q: Is there anything else you can tell us about Organization X?

Answer: No more.

The vast sea of ​​sand.

The field hospital that was originally built to treat Lu Ming has now been transformed into a supply and logistics point for the soldiers and scientific researchers who are still stationed and working here. Lu Ming is still staying here, but compared to before, he has gained considerable freedom.

Almost no one will come to limit his range of activities anymore.

At this moment, after dinner, Lu Ming returned to his room again and picked up the thick stack of interrogation transcripts sent to him by Zhang Dingshan.

He looked at it carefully again, from beginning to end, carefully looking at each question, thinking carefully, carefully analyzing the relationship between different questions, and thinking about the possible deep meaning behind it.

He has discovered that many of these questions, although asked in different ways, are essentially repetitive. For example, "How did you join X organization", "How long have you joined X organization" and so on.

He knew it was an interrogation technique. By asking a question and getting an answer in different ways at different times, in different atmospheres and environments, it helps to verify the authenticity of the answer and obtain more detailed information.

In addition, there may be more interrogation techniques in these interrogation transcripts, but based on Lu Ming's understanding of this, this can only be seen.

But one thing is certain, that is, the answers in this transcript are extremely credible.

In that case...

At least 90% of the many mysteries surrounding what he encountered have been answered.

For example, how they search for targets, how they kidnap targets, how they sacrifice, what their motives are, what the process is, and so on.

For a few unanswered mysteries, very reasonable guesses can be made based on this transcript.

For example, the collapse of the Tang family has always puzzled Lu Ming and Huang Weimin.

How could the Tang family, which was so powerful at the time, be wiped out because there were a considerable number of "women, children, old and weak" bandits in the group?

But through careful analysis of this transcript, Lu Ming gradually began to have some guesses.

Shang Yunsong, a descendant of Shang Jilong and the leader of this generation of the The outside world captures the sacrifices.

It is precisely because of this that too many clues were left to the outside world, paving the way for the eventual destruction of Organization X.

Sun Yong believed that Shang Yunsong did this for the right to speak and interpret doctrine, and to ensure his family's status within the religious sect. Although this is quite possible, if we analyze it carefully, why is there a requirement in the doctrines and traditions that "only sacrifices are allowed to be captured from the outside world"?

There is reason to believe that Shang Jilong would have been influenced by Tang Yuanhai to a considerable extent when it came to offering sacrifices to mountain gods. Because this matter was passed down to him by Tang Yuanhai.

So, as a descendant of the Tang family and the inheritor of mountain god sacrifices, why did he set the rule of "only allowing sacrifices to be captured from the outside world"?

The answer has been clearly stated in ancient records.

Because the Tang family perished due to the human animals they raised. From this, Tang Yuanhai learned a lesson and formulated the rule that "only sacrifices are allowed to be captured from the outside world."

Why was the Tang family destroyed by human sacrifice?

The answer may be found in the organizational changes of the mountain god worshipers.

Since the Tang family, the organizational form of mountain god worshipers has evolved from family to family plus religion.

What will the introduction of religion bring?

The answer is obvious. It will improve cohesion and make it easier to absorb outstanding external personnel to improve the quality of the organization. From this, in turn, we can know what kind of difficulties the Tang family faced at that time.

Family cohesion is reduced and the quality of family members is reduced.

The introduction of religion was precisely to solve these two problems.

So, there is a more reasonable guess as to why such a powerful Tang family was destroyed by human sacrifice.

Because the cohesion of the Tang family was reduced at that time, and the quality of the personnel was reduced - in layman's terms, there were many unscrupulous descendants, and there were frequent internal strife. It is very possible that these human beings were actually involved. Perhaps some unscrupulous descendant planned to introduce this force to achieve some political purpose within the family. As a result, he failed and the entire family perished.

The surviving descendant Tang Yuanhai learned this lesson, and in order to avoid this problem, he put in a patch - only allowing sacrifices to be captured from the outside world, and introducing a religious model to attract outstanding people from outside the family.

This was inherited by Shang Jilong and then passed on to Shang Yunsong. However, as times change, this rule no longer applies. However, Shang Yunsong may have finally chosen to become a fundamentalist out of the right to interpret doctrine and ensure the uniqueness and dominance of his family, and still wanted to stick to this outdated rule, so...

Lu Ming "died". And due to unexpected reasons, he was alive again.

This is how everything happened next.

Of course, Lu Ming didn't know whether his guesses were true or false, but based on the existing information, he could only understand it this way. So he once again felt more deeply that perhaps his fate had been doomed as early as the fall of the Tang family.

Those events that have been buried in the dust of history have profoundly affected one's own destiny as time goes by.

After closing the notebook, Lu Ming looked out the window.

At this moment, the night is like water, and except for the sound of wind and sand, there is silence in the desert.

He basically has no doubts about Organization X.

Most questions have been answered. But the most core issues are still shrouded in mystery.

What does the Hag.1 gene mean to the mountain god?

This is the most central issue of all.

All problems arise from this problem.

but……

Lu Ming didn't know how to figure out the answer to this question. Perhaps, as the core members of Organization

Although Zhang Dingshan and He Wei did not inform Lu Ming about how things should progress and whether the investigation should continue, he could make some guesses.

Perhaps, this time, the investigation into the kidnapping case of Organization X will really be concluded.

After all, Organization X has been destroyed.

No matter where those core members went, to the people on earth, they were equivalent to "dead".

At least in the short term, no one will be kidnapped because they have the Hag.1 gene.

According to historical records, even if the mountain god is still on the earth, he should remain dormant for at least several decades. It may take several decades before a new "Organization X" appears.

But by that time, he might be dead. All this has nothing to do with myself.

In this case, perhaps, I really should end all this, declare my return through the endorsement given by the government department, and use reasons such as "participating in a secret mission" to return to normal society in a reasonable way.

Treat this magical experience as a dream.

But, I don't know why, although his reason told him that doing this was the best thing for him, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

It was as if there was always a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, watching him coldly. This feeling made him feel restless and confused, as if there was a big stone pressing down on his heart, and he could not rest for a moment.

He turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

It was already late at night. But he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
