Chapter 34: The sarcophagus and the noodle machine

In Lu Ming's contemplation, next to him, He Wei hurriedly walked over.

"Lu Ming, emergency. Suspect No. 26 had just accidentally fallen in the prison and knocked out half of his teeth. I've checked the surveillance video and can confirm that it was an accident and there was no human element. ”

Suspect No. 26 is the former high-level of the Destiny Organization who played the role of beneficiary in the previous pregnancy beast sacrifice test.

"Huh?"

Lu Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

A person who falls and knocks out half a tooth is not a big deal at all. But on the 26th suspect, it is very abnormal.

You must know that not long ago, a total of 10,000 pregnant beasts transferred the "fate" of the fetus in their wombs to him through that sarcophagus! According to common sense, his luck should be so good that it is bursting, how could something unlucky happen like falling and knocking out half of his teeth?

Or is it that the fall that was originally made will cost this person his life? Because you had enough good luck, you only knocked out half of your teeth?

"Has his luck index been counted?"

After the end of the sacrifice, the daily life of suspect No. 26 has been closely monitored, and his luck is counted just like Lin Shen did at the beginning.

Of course, the situation of suspect No. 26 is still different from Lin Shen. The most important thing is that Lin Shen, and the people around Lin Shen, don't know about the existence of this matter. All their daily lives are natural and undisturbed by the outside world.

Suspect No. 26 and the people around him had some knowledge of the matter. This means that his daily life will also be disrupted, resulting in inaccurate numerical statistics.

But it still has a certain reference value.

"It's out."

He Wei had a calm face: "With '5' as the average luck value of ordinary people, there are neither good nor bad things, during this time, the average luck index of suspect No. 26 is only 3.9. ”

"So low?"

Lu Ming was taken aback.

The sacrifice of nearly 10,000 pregnant beasts not only did not make him lucky, but made him unlucky?

If he was originally unlucky, and with enough luck, he rose to this value - it doesn't seem to make sense to explain it with this set of theories.

The reason is very simple, if after the fate of nearly 10,000 pregnant beast fetuses, the luck index is only 3.9, then how low is his original luck index?

Don't forget, a low luck index below 1.0 means that you are unlucky enough to risk your life at any time. This kind of person will never live long.

According to this logic, the original luck value of suspect No. 26 before the blessing was definitely low to a limit, and he had already died on the spot.

He Wei frowned slightly: "I don't think this value is accurate." I looked through a lot of surveillance footage and felt that a considerable part of the incidents that led to his low luck were man-made, from the intention of the rest of the suspects. ”

"On purpose?"

Lu Ming was thoughtful.

Apparently, the rest of the suspects were jealous of him.

Everyone is a suspect, and they are all organized by Destiny. It's just that you have been picked to take on the role of beneficiary and accept so many gifts of luck - even if it is fake, the worst and worst can be regarded as a meritorious service, why should all good things fall on you?

If you are jealous, you will take the initiative to pit him, intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, his luck count decreased.

"After the weight reduction, I think his real luck value should be between 4.5 and 4.8. Well, although it's lower than average, it's probably normal. In any case, his luck was not good. That's for sure. ”

The first thing that is certain is that the sound of the sarcophagus means that the sacrifice is successful. This is not only supported by the high-level leaders of the Destiny Organization and the classics, but also the proof of their own pregnant beast sacrifice experiments.

Only those sacrifices that make a loud noise will cause the cubs born of the pregnant beast to be abnormal. Otherwise it wouldn't.

This proves that the function of these sacrifices, in which Suspect 26 played the role of beneficiary, should be no different from those sacrifices made by Destiny before the sacrifice of human pregnant women.

So, if the luck of suspect No. 26 hadn't improved, before, the luck of those core members of the Destiny Organization had really improved?

That's probably unlikely.

So from this point of view, is it ...... In the past so many years, from the Dali culture of ancient times to the fate organization, so many sacrifices...... All of them have done useless work?

The god of fate deprives the unborn child of luck but does not give it to the beneficiary?

So many sacrifices, in fact, are they just harming others and not benefiting themselves?

Lu Ming made this guess through the available intelligence. But the final result will still have to wait for Zhang Dingshan's data to come out.

In the afternoon, Zhang Dingshan, who was in charge of investigating the luck values of the core members of the Destiny Organization in the past time, finally returned. After notifying Lu Qingliang, the four of them gathered again in the video conference room.

"My findings show that the average luck of those core members of the Destiny Organization in the last five years is 4.85.

Data that are less than five years old are easier to collect and investigate, and have a higher degree of confidence. More than five years of data, because it is less and less reliable, I discarded it all. However, with the data of the last five years, I think it is enough to explain the problem. ”

And so it was. Lu Ming nodded slowly.

The reading of 4.85 is slightly below the average, but still within the normal range.

The combination of the two is enough to prove that this sarcophagus actually only has the ability to deprive luck, and does not have the ability to transfer and give luck at all.

Lu Qingliang was a little puzzled.

"Captain, I noticed that the core members of the Destiny Organization have increased their assets by more than 100% in the past five years, and these people are all cunning figures, if there is no real sweetness, it is unlikely that they will maintain their 'loyalty' to the Destiny Organization for such a long time. In other words, they think that their luck has indeed changed. But why is the value so low? ”

"I feel that I have become lucky", and "my assets have increased by more than 100% in the last five years", isn't this still good luck? Why is the luck value not even the average?

Zhang Dingshan said: "The reality is true. I also noticed these two things during the investigation. But ......"

He shook his head: "It's not because of good luck at all. It is the reason why the Destiny Organization, among the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen, has assumed the responsibilities of 'trust endorsement' and 'communication and coordination' to a certain extent. ”

Lu Qingliang suddenly realized: "I see. ”

A group of wealthy businessmen who didn't know each other were brought together because of the bond of the fate organization, and they had mechanisms and channels for communication and coordination with each other. And because they participated in the sacrifice together, they had a foundation of mutual trust. As a result, business with each other will be easier to do, and different resources will cooperate with each other, and many things will be easier to do.

That's why I feel like I'm getting lucky, and I'm getting a huge increase in my assets, especially the latter, which in turn increases my perception of getting lucky.

But in the objective and cold and accurate numerical statistics of luck, this layer of illusion is stripped away. The fact is that the luck of the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen was not as good as that of ordinary people in the past.

"Okay." Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "At this stage, according to the available information, we can make a more accurate description of this sarcophagus.

That is, through a certain procedure to deal with pregnant women or pregnant animals, this sarcophagus can make the fetus born of pregnant women or pregnant animals unlucky. ”

Lu Ming deleted descriptions of things like "luck transfer" and "making people lucky". Because the available evidence has proven that it does not exist.

"In this, the 'certain handler' is the cause. This sarcophagus is the core element, and 'bad luck' is the result. ”

was told by Lu Ming like this, what was originally full of weirdness and magic, but at this moment, it turned out to be like an ordinary factory, and the logic of the matter immediately became clear and simple.

For example, a simple machine that can process noodles. For it, people go through a certain process of processing the flour – this is the cause, and then hand it over to the core element, which is the machine, which is the process to produce the noodles – which is the fruit.

Cause - processing - effect.

The logical chain is as simple and clear as that. From this point of view, this sarcophagus is actually no different from a noodle machine. At most, the sarcophagus is a "machine", and the raw materials and working mechanisms processed are more special.

With this logical chain, the direction of the follow-up investigation is very clear.

Just find out how this sarcophagus works.

Several of them were lost in thought, chewing on the elements that had been summarized from the previous experiments.

Moonlight shining, hexagram, coma, kicking the ground, before the sarcophagus.

If these five preconditions are met, the sarcophagus, the "machine", can be processed.

However, these five preconditions do not have any special significance. Why? What are the implications of this? Why these five?

They are obviously completely unrelated things, and no matter how you look at them, they have nothing to do with luck.

Lu Ming thought for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "I feel that the situation at this moment is somewhat similar to the 'murderous house' that we have found out before. ”

In that case, the matter of how the Zhenlong pile trapped Lou Shen also made several members of the second action team very troubled. Because the so-called Zhenlong pile, which is completely unrelated to the physical level of trapped Lou Shen, seems to be completely unrelated.

Of course, it was later found out that the Zhenlong pile did not actually trap Lou Shen, but sheltered Lou Shen. So, will the situation be similar to that time now? Maybe the five preconditions that you think are not the role of preconditions in the whole logic, but refer to something else?

"The follow-up investigation may be biased in this direction."

No matter where you look at it, Lu Ming's judgment is very logical and reasonable. Zhang Dingshan shook his head.

"Lu Ming, you have to remember that in the investigation of supernatural events, you should never form path dependence, and do not be affected by past successful experiences. Experience, for us, is sometimes not a good thing. ”

Lu Ming was startled and reacted immediately.

Supernatural events are ever-changing, and anything can happen. It's different from ordinary events, where there is no such thing as some kind of law. The experience of dealing with the previous incident may be very wrong in this incident. Because of this, there is a provision for the confidentiality of the file within the Operations Department of the Planetary Security Agency, for fear that the experience of the remaining events will affect the subsequent disposal of new files.

At this moment, unconsciously, Lu Ming actually made this mistake.

"Yes. I understand. ”

Zhang Dingshan shook his head again: "Lu Ming, this can't be said to be your mistake. I'm just reminding you not to have path dependencies and not to be bound by experience. What should be checked should still be checked, but there should not be too many illusions and dependence on it. Just keep a normal mind and look it up as a normal clue. If we deliberately avoid it because it is similar to the experience of dealing with the previous incident, will we not be bound by experience again? ”

Lu Ming nodded a little ashamedly.

To be honest, he did have a knee-jerk reaction that he deliberately avoided before.

"Alright, let's move on."

Zhang Dingshan diverted the topic.

But once again, there was silence in the video conference room.

Previously, Lu Ming only proposed a direction of investigation. There is still no clue how to proceed. And, the rest of the people obviously didn't have any ideas at the moment.

After a long time, He Wei muttered: "Maybe this thing is alien, I don't know which alien got it." ”

This conclusion is simple and crude, but it has to be said that it does have a certain degree of credibility and reasonableness.

Obviously, it is impossible for human beings to have an effect on luck. Because luck is just a probability, and it is not an actual thing, how can it affect it?

If human beings can't do it, they can only affect the creations of alien civilizations whose technology surpasses that of human civilizations.

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "This is indeed one of the possibilities. However, it is still the same sentence, and there must be proof. It would be irresponsible to just push the stuff we don't know about the aliens in one fell swoop. ”

He Wei sighed.

Silence returned to the videoconference room.

After a long time, Lu Ming said slowly: "If you really can't find the direction of the next investigation, and you can't find a clue that can break through, I think there is a clue to try." ”

The eyes of the rest were on him.

"In the organization of fate, the one that can only be obtained through divine revelation, and only the sect leader can know, is the secret of the god of fate."

Lu Qingliang said: "I really don't know how to start the investigation now. I really can't do it, so I can only try it. ”
