Chapter 54: The Church (Part 2)

He Wei felt that since she joined the second team of operations and began to investigate these incidents involving "supernatural forces", she had never faced such a difficult object as Project X.

How many times have you faced obstacles since taking on this case? This time there were so many that she could barely remember.

Relying on their own perseverance and relying on those whimsical ideas from Lu Ming, the second action team stumbled, and finally advanced the case to the present and began to fight against the X organization head-on. But now, the situation has changed unexpectedly.

And, this time, it doesn't seem like relying on Lu Ming's whimsy to push the investigation forward again.

After all, in the past, in the face of Sun Yong's mysterious disappearance, there was no good way for his side. Now, the disappearance of these key targets, who are almost certainly the official or core members of Organization X, seems to exhibit the same characteristics as Sun Yong's.

Further detailed investigation has made this clear. From these members of the outer X organization who have not disappeared and have been captured by their own side, they have obtained confessions about "secret rooms", "accidentally seeing the statue", and "kneeling and worshipping regularly".

After searching, the statue of the mountain god was indeed found in some secret rooms.

This is almost no different from Sun Yong's disappearance.

"It's hard to believe, but we still have to think that it may have been obtained from the mountain god, some kind of device that can achieve 'human teleportation'. The official members of Organization X, after seeing that we did not stop the investigation because of their explanations, rewards, and deterrence, they went to a place that we did not yet know, and evaded our arrest and investigation. ”

In today's regular meeting, He Wei informed Lu Qingliang and Lu Ming, who were far away in the desert, about the situation.

The technology of "human teleportation" only exists in science fiction at the current stage, and it is not known how long it will take to realize it in reality.

But perhaps, the means used by the mountain gods to realize this kind of human body transmission are not science and technology?

Lu Qingliang put forward this view.

"Could it be a spell? Isn't it often described in myths and legends? Some folklore monsters, ghost legends, also have this kind of thing. ”

Combined with the strange legend of the mountain god, at least logically, Lu Qingliang's guess cannot be said to be unreasonable.

But Lu Ming resolutely denied this.

He was a staunch materialist. He never believed that there really were supernatural things like gods and ghosts in this world. Even if those things really exist, they must be understood and studied by scientific methods and systems, and they must be described in scientific language.

"There are no ghosts in this world."

He shook his head and said, "The mountain god is not really a god, but has mastered some technology beyond humans. It is more credible to think that it is alien than that it is a god. ”

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming: "Is it possible for our existing theoretical system to realize human body transmission?" ”

He asked about "theory", not "technology".

"Yes." Lu Ming said: "The first is to decompose the target person into the most basic elementary particles, and record the position, motion state, and relationship between each elementary particle and other particles. After that, in the form of elementary particles, the human body is sent to another location, and then it is assembled.

However, this possibility has now been basically falsified and cannot be realized. The reason for this is simple, the uncertainty principle suggests that it is impossible to know the position and momentum of an elementary particle at the same time. In this case, the possibility of re-assembling after teleportation is lost.

And, on the basis of this first method, the upgraded version of the scheme, based on the principle of total isotropy of particles - that is, a proton in another corner of the universe is exactly the same as any proton on the earth, and the same is true for photons, electrons, neutrons, etc., based on this principle, the human body teleportation can not transmit those particles that make up the human body, only record the relevant information of the particles, and then use the rest of the particles to assemble a person according to this information, and destroy the original human body at the same time, so as to realize the human body teleportation.

However, this method is also denied by the uncertainty principle.

The only feasible solution is spatial teleportation, that is, the space where the person is located is directly cut out and teleported to another place through principles such as high-dimensional traversal. Or, space channels based on some spatial theories, etc., can also achieve this kind of teleportation. ”

Except for Lu Ming, the three people faced Lu Ming's endless talk, each staring at each other with big eyes and being silent.

"Anyway, it's theoretically possible to achieve this kind of teleportation, but the level of technology required is extremely high, right?"

Facing He Wei's inquiry, Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, very high." ”

"In other words, there's no way we're going to be able to pinpoint where these people are going through technology, are we?"

"Yes, it's not possible."

There was silence again in the virtual meeting room.

He Wei had a tricky feeling again.

After a while, Zhang Dingshan said: "If you can't do it technically, then look for a breakthrough from the realistic level." At this point, we have established that the members of Organization X are just ordinary humans. Since they are also human beings, they must not escape the weakness of human nature. With so many people, I don't believe that each of them can keep their mouths shut about people outside the organization and not divulge secrets in the slightest. ”

The number of those who have been confirmed missing has increased to more than 200, and it is likely to rise again in the future.

At this stage, these individuals and groups investigated are all implicated through the Shang Group. But it is still possible that these individuals and groups will be involved in the rest of the existence, and there will almost certainly be missing people at that time.

With so many people, how is it possible that each of them can keep it strictly secret?

"The next investigation will focus on this direction."

He Wei, who was temporarily in charge of the interrogation, expressed his attitude.

The development of events did not make Zhang Dingshan wait too long. The next day, He Wei was full of excitement and brought an interrogation transcript.

"Captain, there's a breakthrough! Really! ”

During the interrogation of a peripheral member of the Mu family, after reminiscing and guiding, the member finally remembered that one time he had inadvertently heard two core members of the family, that is, the official members of the X organization, once mentioned a word.

Templar.

At that time, he casually asked what this place was, but the two people who were talking to him changed their expressions after discovering him, reprimanded him, and sternly warned him that he must keep it a secret and never leak it, otherwise there will be serious consequences. was so frightened that he had to swear to the sky before he escaped.

"The Templar?"

Zhang Dingshan's expression was solemn and he fell into thought.

Maybe...... Is this what Organization X calls for a place of great importance?

"Use 'Templar' as a keyword, ask all suspects, and gather all relevant information."

"Okay."

During the interrogation, most of the arrested suspects were at a loss as to the word "Templar", as if they had never heard of it. But there are also a small number of people who, after hearing the word, recall something.

"Now it is almost certain that all the official members of Organization X who have disappeared have gone to this so-called 'Holy Church' at this moment! This Sanctuary is the lair of Project X, and it is their secret base! ”

During the regular meeting, He Wei's tone was extremely determined.

There was so much information to support her judgment.

One of the suspects, after hearing the word church, confessed that he had overheard his mother ask his father what he had done at the church today. Another suspect confessed that his sister had secretly told him that only by passing the test and becoming a core member would he be eligible to go to the church.

In addition to this, there are many fragmentary confessions. Taken together, it is clear what the title "Templar" means.

At this moment, at the critical moment when the organization has almost been exposed to the sun and is facing a life-and-death crisis, the core members all go to the "Holy Hall" to gather to discuss the next solution and temporarily avoid arrest, which seems to be a very understandable thing to do, and it is also a very normal way of doing things.

"Now, what we have to do is to find out this secret nest and wipe out the X organization!"

In the face of He Wei's words, Lu Qingliang looked excited, and although Zhang Dingshan's expression was calm, there was also a faint hint of joy. Only Lu Ming's expression was still solemn.

"How?"

"It's not a small undertaking to build a secret base that can hold at least a few hundred people and sustain hundreds of people for a period of time. It is impossible to complete such a project without leaving any traces. ”

Regarding Lu Ming's inquiry, Lu Qingliang explained: "The flow of funds, the transfer of personnel, the transfer of materials, supplies, etc., can be used as key points to carry out investigations. ”

Zhang Dingshan agreed: "At the beginning, we could find out so many follow-up people through the investigation of these aspects, and we can also find out the secret base they built through the investigation of these groups." ”

At this moment, those specially mobilized experts in auditing financial and tax accounts have not yet left. Just let them continue their search in depth.

"As long as this 'Holy Temple' is still on Earth, we will definitely be able to find out!"

He Wei is also full of confidence.

"But ......"

Lu Ming's tone was still solemn.

"What if this temple isn't on Earth?"
