Chapter 33 Postpartum care of sows
At this time, the former high-ranking member of the Destiny Organization, who played the role of the beneficiary of the sacrifice, had a look of excitement mixed with some apprehension on his face. Outside of him, the priestess and the reciter looked at him with envy and jealousy.
Even if a hundred pregnant beasts can be compared to a pregnant woman, it is equivalent to a full sixteen fetuses being sacrificed in a day today, which is equivalent to the amount of sacrifices that the fate organization normally sacrifices for more than a year.
Moreover, in the past, the sacrifice of a pregnant woman's womb benefited dozens of people, that is, dozens of people shared the luck of a fetus. At the moment, he is the only beneficiary.
If this sacrifice is really useful, if it can really transfer luck from one person or one domestic animal to another, then how much will the luck of this beneficiary increase at this moment?
Perhaps with enough good fortune, he may be spared the trial.
After all, as long as you are lucky enough, even the smallest probability of something can happen.
And, even if the sacrifices are useless and cannot complete the transfer of luck at all, his participation in these sacrifices can barely be regarded as meritorious service, and it will also be beneficial for the subsequent sentencing. In short, no matter how you look at it, this is a sure-fire deal.
"Fortunately, I cooperated well at the beginning, basically did not resist and did all the tricks, and took the initiative to cooperate with the interrogation, otherwise, how could such a good thing be my turn."
Looking at the eyes of the other two full of envy and jealousy, he raised his head proudly.
Today, I recited the sacrificial texts more than a dozen times, danced more than a dozen spiritual dances, and the other two were also exhausted. Under the custody of the security guards, he hastily ate something and went straight to sleep. The next day, round after round of sacrifices began again.
In this way, it took almost a week to "consume" nearly 10,000 pregnant livestock before all the modes of sacrifice were verified.
They were all returned to their original farms or pastures.
By the time the last pregnant animals had been sacrificed, the first animals had even been produced. And so the follow-up observation began. Lu Ming and He Wei began to wait.
At the moment, somewhere on a pig farm. The sow that has just given birth is lying in the barn, in her arms, and a litter of piglets is suckling wildly. A veterinarian came in to observe the sow's condition and gave her postpartum care. After a busy moment, he stood up and stretched.
Maybe it's because of the poor rest recently, at this time, he suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, his body shook a little, and he subconsciously took a step back to stabilize his body.
But a little pig didn't know when it actually crawled behind him. This foot went down and happened to step on the front hooves of the little pig.
The newborn piglet howled miserably, and the veterinarian was shocked and immediately withdrew his foot.
Fortunately, as soon as he noticed that the touch was abnormal, he withdrew his foot, but he didn't step too hard. But the newborn piglets are too fragile.
Its front hooves dragged on the ground, and it seemed to be unable to support its body. It limped away.
The veterinarian shook his head.
If the pig is crippled because of this, it will have to be disposed of first. Modern pig farms pursue standardization, and a piglet with crippled front hooves is destined to be out of place.
This scene was clearly recorded by the camera, and turned into data, and came to the Shanbei City Public Security Bureau, a data analysis team specially formed for the second action team, and turned into a part of a huge model.
At this moment, further north of Shanbei City, on a grassland, a flock of hundreds of sheep is leisurely grazing. Herdsmen rode their motorcycles around the sheep slowly, while several sheepdogs ran around happily, monitoring the movements of the sheep at any time and driving back the sheep that had accidentally separated from the large group.
The herdsman has a remote control in his hand, and along with his control, there are nearly ten drones flying in the sky, filming everything about this flock of sheep.
"What's weird, a flock of sheep, is there anything to shoot?"
The herdsmen were dripping and filming at the same time.
He also carries hundreds of fully charged drone batteries on his motorcycle. Once the drone runs out of power, it can be replaced immediately.
Just two days ago, someone found him, saying that he was going to shoot a documentary, and gave him equipment to let him shoot the movements of the sheep without interruption. Even cameras were installed in the sheep shed, saying that they were going to film the movement of the sheep at night.
If it weren't for the well-paid face, he wouldn't have bothered to fly any drone.
On the vast meadow, the sheep bleated, and the slight sound of the wind and the barking of the sheepdogs played a beautiful music.
At this moment, the sky is high and cloudy, the grass is green, and the temperature is neither high nor low, which is a beautiful grassland picture.
At this time, at the edge of the flock, a little lamb followed the ewe and was also grazing leisurely. Not far from it, the other sheep was grazing so engrossed that it unwittingly broke away from the group. The shepherd dog came galloping quickly, and by chance, when passing by the little lamb, its body suddenly changed direction, and it actually hit it hard, knocking it to the ground.
The little lamb bleated and struggled to get up, apparently frightened.
When the herdsmen saw this scene, they reprimanded loudly: "The prosperity of the dog's day, don't break the sheep!" ”
……
Massive amounts of data are fed to the data analysis center all the time. After waiting for about five or six days, the data after analysis finally showed a trend and a trend.
At this moment, among the nearly 10,000 pregnant beasts participating in the sacrifice, more than 700 have given birth to offspring, and a total of more than 2,000 pigs, cattle and sheep have been produced. They are all mixed into herds of animals that do not participate in the rituals, and are raised by the breeders equally.
However, after several days of data collection and analysis, about 600 of the more than 2,000 pigs, cattle and sheep showed obvious abnormal luck values.
As they grow, they will always encounter more accidents, either the automatic feeder is broken, or the feed happens to be mixed with small stones, or it is hit by large animals.
Compared to the rest of their peers with normal luck values, their luck values are about 0.8 lower on average.
This is no longer explained by coincidence or statistical error.
If this part of the livestock cubs is because the mother animal is about to give birth, it is transported back and tossed, the other part has also experienced this process, but it was divided into the control group, and the cubs born by the mother animal who did not participate in the sacrifice are numerically normal.
This is enough to prove that it is not the abnormal luck value caused by the toss of carrying away and transporting back.
There will still be a steady stream of cubs born in the future, and there will be a steady stream of data that will continue to be generated. But at this moment, the tendencies and trends have been unmistakably demonstrated.

"If the follow-up data doesn't deviate too much from the present, then ...... We can almost already conclude that this sarcophagus does have the ability to 'take away' the luck of the fetus in the womb of a human or animal. ”
Through this test, this inference has basically been hammered.
"Okay."
Lu Ming rubbed his forehead: "Then let's see which links and steps of the ritual ultimately caused this consequence." ”
Of the more than 2,000 livestock cubs that have been born at this moment, only more than 100 belong to the control group and do not participate in the sacrificial ceremony. In addition, there are about 600 heads of unlucky ones, and there are only more than 700 heads.
The remaining 1,300 or so livestock cubs participated in the sacrificial ceremony and did not show any unusual luck.
Obviously, because of the combination of a large number of different sacrificial links, and because of the lack of some sacrificial links, the sacrifice of this part of the livestock cubs was not successful.
If the sacrifice is unsuccessful, the luck value will naturally not be abnormal.
Now, as long as you carefully analyze the livestock cubs that have abnormal luck values, what links their mothers have performed in participating in the sacrifice, and what links are missing from the mother of livestock cubs who have not had abnormal luck values, and which links are really effective and which links are dispensable.
"At present, the following links should really work. Hmm, before the six-pointed star rune, the coma, the spirit dance, and the sarcophagus. These four factors are indispensable. In addition, the rest of the links, such as the writing and recitation of the sacrificial text, the specific time of the sacrifice, and the acceptance of the moonlight, cannot be determined. There are also links, such as bathing and fasting, burning incense and praying, etc., which can be clearly useless. ”
"Let's wait and see. There are still too few samples to clearly distinguish all the links. ”
After a few more days of waiting, more livestock cubs were born and their observation began.
The data generated by the observation of these livestock cubs not only made the tendencies and trends of the data model more obvious, but also further allowed Lu Ming and He Wei to distinguish those links that could not be determined to be effective and invalid.
The link of "accepting the reflection of the moonlight" was confirmed to be true. The rest of the links were turned out to be false. It doesn't matter if there is or not, it doesn't affect the final result.
As a result, the links that finally worked were all proven and distinguished.
In order for the ritual to take effect, the sacrifice must first be subjected to no less than 10 minutes of moonlight - it doesn't matter if the full moon is absent, but there must be a moon, not a cloudy day.
After that, a red pen is used on the sacrifice – as long as it's red, it doesn't matter what it's made of. Whether it is a writing pen for ordinary writing, a paintbrush for painting, or cinnabar, or even directly smeared with red paint, a six-pointed star is depicted on the body of the sacrifice.
Before the sacrifice, the sacrifice must be kept unconscious. It's okay to be awake, but it doesn't matter how unconscious you are. In the experiment, for those pregnant beasts, Lu Ming instructed the staff to try six different anesthetic and tranquilizing drugs, and even tried to knock the pregnant beasts directly with a stick, and the results were all good.
The god of fate doesn't care how the sacrifice is stunned. As long as the sacrifice is dizzy.
After this, the offering is placed in front of the sarcophagus – the distance is limited, about one to five meters.
It's too close, it's not too far. However, because the experiment was not too precise, the range limit of one meter to five meters was only roughly obtained, and it was not possible to further accurate to the order of decimeters or centimeters.
As for the direction, it doesn't matter. Place it in the south, south, north, and west of the sarcophagus, or even on top of it.
In several experiments, Lu Ming instructed people to build a height-adjustable shelf on the sarcophagus, specially put a few pregnant beasts, and tested the height from one meter to five meters, and finally came to this conclusion.
With all that done, it's just one last step. You have to ask a goddess to dance a spirit dance, and you're done.
In the past, when the fate organization held a sacrificial ceremony, in order to get closer to the gods, the holy goddess who danced the spirit dance would take a little psychedelic medicine in advance. According to her, the spirit dance danced in this way is more standard and more pleasing to the gods.
But in the end, it turned out that this was completely unnecessary. It doesn't matter if you take psychedelics or not.
And, this set of spiritual dances, the Holy Goddess claims to have been inherited from the previous generation of saints, and has strange powers. Lu Ming also didn't believe in this set. He specially found a dance artist to disassemble the set of spiritual dances of the goddess into five reciprocating movements, specially combined and assembled, and finally came to the conclusion that as long as there is enough time, it doesn't matter which of these five sets of movements to choose, the order, and how to combine.
Lu Ming even tried to find another member of the Destiny Organization who was not a saint to dance this set of spirit dances instead of the saintess, and the conclusion at this moment actually showed that this was just as effective.
Not only that, Lu Ming even used this set of spirit dance postures as a basis before, guessing that the core element of the spirit dance in the sacrifice may not even be the spirit dance, but the multiple taps of his feet on the ground.
Because there is a lot of kick-to-ground movement in this set of spirit dances.
So Lu Ming simply found a member of the Destiny Organization, didn't let him dance the spirit dance, only let him stand in front of the sarcophagus, constantly kicking the ground, in several batches of sacrificial experiments, respectively, one minute, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes four periods of time, the data at this moment actually showed that except for one minute, the remaining three time lengths actually worked.
So Lu Ming could be sure that the so-called Spirit Dance was useless at all. The so-called saint is just a gimmick at all. What really works is a random person tapping on the ground for more than five minutes.
So, as of now, all links have been screened out.
Moonlight reflection, six-pointed star runes, coma, tapping, before the sarcophagus, a total of five.
Looking at the five elements in front of him, Lu Ming fell into deep thought.
Now that the investigation was underway, he once again didn't know where to go next.
These five elements don't look like they're related to luck. But why, when these five elements are put together, it can always make the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman or a pregnant animal have abnormal luck after birth?
