Chapter 52: Addiction
It was a sunny morning. Lu Ming got up, opened the curtains, and let the warm sunlight shine into the room, and by the way, the mountains and green grass in the distance also came into view.
In all fairness, the scenery of this manor organized by fate is really good.
After washing up, he went to the cafeteria. And He Wei was earlier than him, and he was already waiting for him here at the moment.
He Wei's expression has always been a little complicated, and she looks preoccupied. On the other hand, Lu Ming was nothing unusual.
"The preparations are all done."
When Lu Ming was about to finish eating, He Wei, who had been silent, said such a sentence.
"Good. Let's start in a moment. ”
He Wei looked at Lu Ming fixedly for a long time before saying, "Or...... You don't want to go, can you change someone else? Find someone from the original Destiny Organization to negotiate with it. ”
Lu Ming shook his head lightly: "People who can't ensure loyalty can't undertake this task." ”
He Wei also knew in her heart that it would not work. Not to mention the question of loyalty or disloyalty, in this matter, the information that the party has is too little after all, and no one knows what form the negotiation with the god of fate will take.
This means that the process must involve a lot of quick thinking and impromptu decision-making, and entrusting this kind of thing to outsiders is completely nonsense and does not have any feasibility.
But she still made this suggestion to Lu Ming with a little hope, and then was unsurprisingly rejected by Lu Ming.
After a moment of silence, He Wei said seriously: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will save your life." Even if you become like the third master, I promise that you will live well, and you will always be mine, my ...... Teammate. ”
Lu Ming shook his head with a smile: "No, if I really become like that, let me drown." I don't want to live like that, it's not interesting to live like that. ”
He Wei's expression was complicated, and she did not agree, nor did she refuse.
During the preliminary discussion and preparation, the Action 2 team determined the coping strategies in the face of different situations.
First of all, the first point is to judge whether the god of fate is communicable.
If, once the succession ceremony is held, the person who is preparing to succeed the leader is indiscriminately "infected" by the god of fate, and thus loses himself and only thinks of "heaven", then it can be judged that the god of fate is completely unable to communicate.
In this case, there is no choice but to give up communicating with it and directly release the water to drown the matter. As for whether flooding is useful or not, that must be done first.
But if the person who is preparing to succeed the sect leader is not "infected" for the time being, it means that the god of fate can communicate. Since communication is possible, there is the possibility of reaching an agreement through negotiation. The next step is nothing more than bargaining, you take your chips, I take my chips, under the premise that neither side has completely grasped the other party, and neither side wants to die in the net, everyone will discuss a mutually acceptable plan.
How to negotiate and how to negotiate depends on Lu Ming's on-the-spot performance.
In this process, the most important thing to rely on is the water pipeline. That's pretty much the only bargaining chip you have.
It is Ho Wei's job to ensure that the diversion channel is kept open under all circumstances, and that the sanctuary can be flooded at any time if she wishes. This is the biggest support for Lu Ming to go to the front line for negotiations.
After a brief conversation, the two got up and walked out. In the process, Lu Ming's mobile phone rang.
took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Lu Ming said, "Qingliang called." ”
He Wei shook her head: "No need to take it." He called me before, saying he was going to come to the scene and keep an eye on it. I refused. ”
Lu Ming can understand Lu Qingliang's mood.
The second team of action as a whole, seeing their teammates fighting bloodily on the front line, pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers, but they were safely guarding the rear, it is no wonder that Lu Qingliang can't sit still.
But, again, he is an internal officer, not an external officer.
Lu Ming groaned for a while, but still connected the phone.
"Qingliang, you are honestly waiting for our good news at the headquarters, and by the way, help me check the self-driving route with better scenery. When this is over, I'm going to take my family on a road trip. Okay, that's it, hang up. ”
Without waiting for Lu Qingliang to reply, Lu Ming hung up the phone directly.
The two continued to walk out in silence.
There was a helicopter parked on the grass ahead. Seeing Lu Ming and He Wei coming out, a man in military uniform immediately jumped from the helicopter and came to the two.
"Report, the special operations team and the engineering repair team have been prepared."
"Wait for my order, and leave in half an hour."
"Yes."
Half an hour later, He Wei, who changed into a military uniform and carried various equipment, appeared again. She jumped into the helicopter and waved at Landing Ming, after which the helicopter took off and disappeared from the sky in a circle.
Lu Ming knew that the helicopter where He Wei was located would be patrolling the water diversion pipeline with a total length of about three kilometers without interruption. Below, there are members of the special operations team, one person every fifty meters.
Each of them is armed and ready to deal with any outside forces that try to sabotage the aqueduct.
Under their protection, there are a total of 50 engineering repair teams, each consisting of five people, also distributed next to the diversion pipeline, ready to use various tools to repair the pipeline.
He Wei also arranged relevant emergency repair and security forces in the reservoir, and once the reservoir gate failed, it could also be eliminated as quickly as possible.
It's just a water pipeline, and your preparation can be said to be foolproof.
Seeing He Wei leave, Lu Ming came to a group of people in white coats.
Shaking hands with the person in charge, Lu Ming said, "Dr. Li, it's been a hard work. ”
"It should."
The group headed by Dr. Li is the medical team and the psychological evaluation team. Needless to say, the psychological evaluation team is responsible for assessing Lu Ming's psychological state when needed, so as to confirm whether Lu Ming has been "infected" by the god of fate.
Before carrying out this mission, the psychological evaluation team had a lot of contact with the third sect leader who was "floating in the dust" and no longer cared about everything in the mundane world, asked him many questions, and combined with his physical signs at that time, etc., to establish a psychological model of the person who was "infected" by the god of fate.
Based on this, they can accurately distinguish whether Lu Ming is also infected when needed.
This is the only indicator by which the god of fate can communicate.
Lu Ming and the members of the medical team and the psychological assessment team, under the protection of heavily armed guards, walked towards the sanctuary located on the mountainside of the low mountain.
At this moment, Lu Ming had a peculiar feeling in his heart. It's fear, but it's not like it. It's nervous, but it's not quite so.
The feeling is mixed. It is a mixture of fear, anxiety, nervousness, excitement and many other emotions, and it is indescribable.
Lu Ming knew that every time he took a step forward, he was one step closer to the ending. And whether that ending is good or bad, no one knows.
He only knew that through the analysis and research of many experts, the so-called "dusty" state of the third sect leader had a mechanism of action on the human body similar to drug addiction.
The reason why people can't get rid of drug addiction is that once they have experienced the sensation that that thing brings to the human body, and have experienced that kind of pleasure, they can never forget it.
The so-called body addiction is easy to break, but the heart addiction is difficult to get rid of.
Once experienced, all that remains of the rest of your life is to continue to pursue that feeling. In comparison, all the love, hatred, hatred and hatred in the world, success and fame, and flowers and candles in the cave room have no meaning.
So, people don't care about anything else at all.
However, the "paradise" speculated by Lu Ming has a stronger attraction than drug addiction. Once a person knows what "heaven" looks like, all the meaning of the rest of his life is the pursuit of heaven.
Compared to heaven, life is just a small thing. Suicide? In a word, that's it. Kill my wife's parents? Feel free, as long as it doesn't get in the way of me going to heaven.
Lu Ming didn't want to live like that. He felt that if he had become like that, then, in essence, he would have died. It's just a shell that's still alive.
Rather than that, it's better to die.
"I hope He Wei can understand me, and I hope she won't save me and let me die when things are really irreparable."
Lu Ming thought silently.
But in the end, how He Wei will choose, Lu Ming doesn't know.
The path beneath your feet seems to be very long, and it seems to be very short. In this process, Lu Ming seems to have lost the concept of time. All he knew was that he had finally arrived at the door of the sanctuary.
】
After entering, the sarcophagus that was still making a continuous creaking sound came into his eyes again.
Compared to the last time I saw it, its voice was noticeably louder.
This shows once again that this matter really cannot be delayed any longer. If you drag it any longer, it might be too late.
Lu Ming, who had already reflected the moonlight last night, took off his shirt in front of the saintess of the fate organization who was transferred, revealing his upper body whose muscles were not obvious, but looked strong.
The Holy Goddess held a paintbrush and carefully drew an image of a six-pointed star on Lu Ming's upper body.
The moonlight shines, the six-pointed star, the coma, the sarcophagus before, plus the kicking on the ground, which is the process of sacrificial offerings. At this moment, changing from coma to sobriety is the process of succession to become the sect leader.
After everything was ready, Lu Ming took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knelt in front of the sarcophagus.
The Holy Goddess has not yet started to kick the ground.
Lu Ming adjusted his thoughts and looked at the person in charge of the medical team. He made an OK gesture to Lu Ming. Lu Ming looked at the person in charge of the psychological assessment team again, and he also made the same gesture.
The head of the security team also signaled that everything was ready.
In the walkie-talkie, He Wei's voice also came out.
"Everything works fine. The sluice gates can be opened at any time to release water. ”
Everything is ready.
Lu Ming looked at the holy woman and nodded.
The goddess's eyes were full of confusion and doubt. She couldn't understand how these people who seemed to be powerful, who were obviously in high positions and powerful, who could run for many people with a single sentence, and who could easily destroy the entire destiny organization, were so stupid one by one.
I heard that the previous successor to become the sect leader was already in a coma and it was almost impossible to wake up.
Here comes another one this time.
Even if he was sent to death, he didn't rush to send it so quickly.
Although she was puzzled and confused, she knew in her heart that she did not need to understand the motives and reasons of these big people. He is just a criminal suspect who hopes to make meritorious contributions and reduce his punishment. What they say, they can do themselves.
She lifted her leg and stomped her foot on the ground.
The succession ceremony of the head of the sect officially began.
Lu Ming's heart slowly lifted up.
At this moment, he seemed to have an understanding in his heart.
Perhaps the moonlight, the six-pointed star, the kicking on the ground, the sarcophagus, or the lucid or unconscious ritual elements that seem to themselves to be completely inexplicable, and do not have any special meaning, may have a completely different meaning for another universe in which the god of fate lives.
Just as randomness is immutable in one's own universe and is not affected by any factors, in the universe of the god of destiny can be changed at will, and even used as food or materials.
Perhaps, this is also the evidence of the logic he proposed.
What kind of universe is that......
The ground was constantly being kicked off. The sarcophagus in front of him kept making a loud noise. Under the alternation of these two voices, Lu Ming's highly tense and highly nervous thoughts seemed to sense something strange at this moment.
He concentrated his mind, got rid of all distractions, and put all his attention on the words in his heart that he kept silently reciting.
"I'm here to negotiate with you. Don't infect me. Otherwise the flood will inundate here. ”
"I'm here to negotiate with you. Don't infect me. Otherwise the flood will inundate here. ”
"I'm here to negotiate with you. Don't infect me. Otherwise the flood will inundate here. ”
……
He kept repeating this sentence silently, hoping that in communication with the god of fate, it would receive this information.
Under such circumstances, the strange feeling in my heart suddenly magnified. At this moment, there seemed to be an infinite amount of information pouring into his mind. His heart suddenly tightened, his body instantly stiffened, and his breathing stopped instantly.
Like a loach in a saucepan that was desperate to plunge into the tofu because it sensed the heat, it appeared from all directions, from the sky and the earth, from all visible and invisible objects, and then desperately pierced into his mind.
The huge amount of information poured in instantly, making him lose his mind for a moment. After a few moments, he was a little more awake, and he sensed a picture of grandeur and beauty out of thin air.
