Because there are too many ancient books and materials involved, Huang Weimin did not completely sort it out that afternoon. So He Wei and Lu Qingliang said goodbye and left, and agreed to come back the next day.

I found a place to live in the county seat, rested for a while, and arrived at the fixed time for the evening meeting.

At this moment, it was already early in the night. In the vast sea of sand, the field hospital where Lu Ming was located was still daytime.

During this time, Lu Ming has been confined to the field hospital, living a life of pure heart and few desires, eating, sleeping and eating.

The regular meeting every night has become the time he looks forward to the most.

Only at this time can he truly realize that there are still people who are trying their best to promote the investigation in this matter he is involved in, that things are still progressing, and that hope still exists and has not disappeared.

"Today, we made a big discovery."

At the beginning of the regular meeting, He Wei directly threw out a bombshell news.

"Oh?"

Lu Ming, who was originally leaning on the back of the chair and planning to be a listener, immediately straightened up.

"Today, Qingliang and I went to visit Huang Weimin. Huang Weimin told us a story he saw from a local ancient book......"

He Wei took out the recording equipment and played the story told by Huang Weimin in its entirety.

When the story was finished, He Wei and Lu Qingliang first expressed their opinions, that is, some speculations about the relationship between Organization X and the mountain god.

After that, there was a long silence in the virtual meeting room. Everyone was thinking silently.

"This story should be a real event that happened in history, not a 'group robbery' dressed as Huang Weimin believes, and a 'group robbery' dressed as punishing evil and promoting good, and heavenly retribution."

Lu Ming first expressed his opinion.

Zhang Dingshan also bowed slightly: "It should be true." Otherwise, there are so many coincidences that there is no way to explain it. ”

He Wei asked, "Based on this story, what do you think?" ”

She asked the three of them, but her eyes were always focused on Lu Ming's figure.

Since this incident happened, Lu Ming's performance has made her no longer able to treat her as an ordinary person.

Even, even the idea of "gene traceability" was first proposed by Lu Ming. Facts have also proved that after carrying out this series of work, our own investigation has indeed made a great breakthrough.

Maybe this guy who claims to be a "science fiction writer" has a really different brain structure from others, and can always think of some strange directions.

At this moment, He Wei actually had an unformed idea in her mind, she felt that she vaguely remembered something, but she always couldn't grasp the point.

After thinking for a long time, in the field hospital, Lu Ming raised his head.

The story says that in the decades after the poor boy, there were always people who tried to kidnap people and sacrifice them to the mountain gods in exchange for benefits, so that the local custom of bald heads was made, but no one succeeded, and the matter slowly subsided. What I want to ask you is, really, no one succeeds? ”

He Wei's body shook, and a lightning bolt flashed in her mind.

She finally understood what was the point of her unformed thoughts, which she had never grasped!

Yes, the record says that no one succeeds, so is it true that no one succeeds?

Will those who succeed in the end come out and preach it themselves?

No matter who you are, after you have achieved success, you will definitely keep your mouth shut, for fear that others will know your secret, right?

Lu Qingliang's face was also full of shock, while Zhang Dingshan seemed thoughtful.

"Definitely. This historical record is most likely incorrect. Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "So, according to the normal logic, what will the successful person do next?" ”

"Look for patterns."

Lu Ming said immediately.

Man's desires are limitless. With such a stable channel through which wishes can be fulfilled at a fixed price, no one can give up after a single attempt. Their only reasonable choice is to find the law of the mountain god accepting the "sacrifice", so as to increase the success rate of the sacrifice as much as possible and obtain a steady stream of benefits.

As for what this "law" was, the ancients at that time may not have known it, but at this moment, the four people who participated in this regular meeting all knew it.

Hag.1 gene.

Zhang Dingshan said slowly: "So, has anyone achieved the purpose of finding the law?" ”

Lu Qingliang's breathing began to become rapid at this moment.

He remembered a possibility that shocked him.

"Could it be that Organization X was created by the man who found the pattern? He found a way to get benefits from the mountain gods with a high success rate, and then through this method, he continued to reap the benefits, and passed them on from generation to generation as family heirlooms, so that future generations could benefit from them......

At this stage, the common denominator of missing persons that has been finally determined by the use of technology – perhaps in part as a sacrifice that the mountain gods are willing to accept and give in exchange for benefits – is the Hag.1 gene.

In ancient times, it was clear that there was no genetic testing technology, but through other methods, it was still possible to achieve a high success rate of screening. It's also very simple.

The first point is the initial density of the hair. Of course, the success rate of this method should not be high.

The second method may be to complete the screening with a higher success rate through identification methods such as a certain surname and the descendants of a certain ethnic group. For example, the person who discovers the pattern may be able to complete the de facto genetic screening after several attempts to find that people with a certain surname in a certain village have a higher success rate.

After all, the Hag.1 gene is heritable.

Even more terrifying is that the person who first discovered the law may also "breed" these people with a high success rate like livestock, and continuously produce such offspring with a high success rate, and continuously obtain benefits from the mountain gods.

This sudden thought made Lu Qingliang feel cold.

After he had spoken his thoughts, there was silence again in the virtual conference room.

After that, Zhang Dingshan said coldly: "This is indeed possible. Even now, it is possible that Organization X is still doing this. It's just that the means may be more advanced. Artificial insemination, IVF, human cloning......

Perhaps, the people they kidnapped were not actually sacrificed to the mountain gods, but were treated as 'breeders' like pigs and sheep. ”

At this moment, the fear and coldness from the heart made Lu Ming even tremble slightly.

Caught in a dark place, there is no hope to get rid of in his life, and the only meaning of life is left, that is, to produce enough sperm for the X organization to "produce" a steady stream of offspring through scientific and technological means, and then these offspring will be sacrificed to the mountain god to obtain a steady stream of benefits.

Until you get old, the quality of your sperm declines, and you are no longer qualified for this task, you will be sacrificed to the mountain god like garbage to squeeze the last bit of benefit......

It really was a more painful and terrible end than death.

"Of course, the available evidence does not show that Organization X is doing this. After all, the targets they kidnapped even included women who were nearing menopause. ”

Menopausal women have basically lost the ability to have offspring.

According to the law of heredity, as long as the man has this gene, no matter what the woman is, the offspring born will have this gene, and they will be eligible to sacrifice to the mountain god. From this point of view, if Organization X really did this, there would be no need for them to kidnap women again.

"It seems to contradict our assumptions right now." He Wei frowned and thought hard: "If Organization X is really an organization that seeks a steady stream of benefits by sacrificing the Hag.1 gene to the mountain god as we speculated, then there seems to be no reason for them to refuse the practice of 'kidnapping people to be human beings and producing offspring in a steady stream'. But the available evidence is that they did not. ”

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table: "But there are too many connections between Organization X and the mountain god, so that it cannot be explained by coincidence, but it is an indisputable fact. Perhaps, there are some reasons that we don't know about that that make it impossible for Organization X to choose this approach. ”

Lu Ming reluctantly suppressed the fear and despair in his heart, and tried to calm down: "Anyway, looking for the family inheritance in history through screening, which is suspected of continuously obtaining benefits through a steady stream of 'sacrifices' to the mountain gods, can also be regarded as an investigation direction that can be tried." ”

This kind of thing, any sane person in the know, will understand the truth of absolute secrecy.

So, which inheritance relationship is the best way to keep secrets and maximize benefits?

There is undoubtedly only one kind, and that is family inheritance.

Passed down from father to son, from son to grandchild, from generation to generation, each generation of the family can reap a steady stream of benefits.

Maybe the current X organization is such a family that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

There is indeed some possibility. Then, through this means, it is possible to find out the X organization.

Lu Ming's statement was agreed by the other three.

However, there are also several clear screening conditions for how to screen this kind of family inheritance.

First, the continuous acquisition of benefits means that the family is strong. Being rich and famous is the most basic condition. It's like the poor boy who suddenly made a fortune.

Second, the history of the family must be after the poor boy. In this way, the time frame is determined.

Thirdly, there must have been some kind of accident in the history of the family, which is difficult to explain by common sense - of course, there is also the possibility that the family was strong from the beginning of learning the secret. But with the help of the mountain god, the scale of the family suddenly rises to a new level in a short period of time, which is difficult to explain, and the external performance will also have the characteristics that are full of accidents and common sense that are difficult to explain.

Fourth, there is a high probability that the family originated in Woye County. At least not far away.

Fifth, there is a high probability that the family will prosper forever and become auspicious in death. After all, if you encounter a problem, you can do it by offering sacrifices to the mountain god personally. However, this point may be deliberately covered up by the family in order to clear up the connection with the "mountain god", for example, the family is broken on the surface, but in fact, the golden cicada has broken its shell and continues to exist under a different name.

This point should be distinguished by identification.
