After Lu Qingliang and He Wei both said that the clergy they saw were liars, Lu Ming gave different answers. So, the eyes of the three of them looked at him together.

"Shu Changshan? What are the oddities? ”

Lu Ming recounted the entire interview in detail. After learning that Shu Changshan actually knew the Demon Eye, the mutations and monsters, the original contempt in the hearts of the three of them immediately disappeared.

In any case, even if this Shu Changshan is just a liar, this is a matter of great attention. At the very least, it means that there is an internal problem of information leakage. Otherwise, how would he know these things?

Zhang Dingshan immediately made a decision.

"In that case, let's investigate and verify it first. He Wei, you go and check the past of this Shu Changshan in detail, and check whether the problems of his customers have been solved and how they were solved.

Qingliang, go and look up this religion called 'Neroth'. After that, Lu Ming, you and I will go through our internal confidentiality mechanism to see if there is any possibility of leakage. ”

This concludes the meeting. He Wei hurriedly left the base to start the investigation, Lu Qingliang also began to collect information again, and Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan combed through all the processes since the occurrence of the Demon Eye in detail, trying to find the possible confidentiality loopholes.

It took three days for the two to complete the matter.

The final conclusion is that since the second team of operations began to take over this eucalyptus, there are indeed several minor loopholes in the confidentiality mechanism implemented by their own team. However, these vulnerabilities have not been triggered, and there is no possibility of a connection with Shu Changshan.

In this case, if this incident is a leak, then it is only possible to leak the secret before you take over. And this does have a certain realistic possibility - after all, the original Zhou Tianyang team members have asked for help everywhere, and they don't know how many people they have contacted and how many people have been told about this matter.

But if the secret is leaked at that time, in the future, the fact that Zhou Tianyang's team members have become monsters is in a state of strict secrecy, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.

Moreover, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming investigated all the recent call records and network access records of Shu Changshan, and did not find any connection to this matter.

Leaks, which should not exist.

At this time, He Wei's investigation also came to a conclusion.

During the video conference, He Wei said: "My conclusion is that it is impossible to verify the authenticity. ”

This result was slightly unexpected by Lu Ming.

"This Shu Changshan is very famous, and the shelves are also very large, and ordinary customers never accept them, only those customers who are not rich or expensive, and the number is not much. In the past few days, I have combed through in detail every customer who Shu Changshan claims that the problem has been solved in the past period of time, and found that the problems of these customers have indeed improved to a certain extent. The problem is that I can't be sure what the reason for these improvements.

For example, a customer whose illness could not be diagnosed found found after going to several hospitals. Shu Changshan claimed to be an evil spirit curse. He then performed a ritual in which he claimed to have dealt with the evil spirit that had cursed him. About half a month later, the customer's illness was diagnosed in another hospital, and then successfully treated, and now he has basically recovered.

The question is, is it because the curse of the evil spirit has been lifted that the customer's illness can be diagnosed, or is it because the customer's illness can be diagnosed in the first place? It's impossible to tell.

The same is true for some of the rest of the customers.

By the way, Shu Changshan is not all the customers who come to receive them. Even if some customers are equally wealthy and have a high social status, they are likely not to be entertained.

Shu Changshan's explanation for this is that his criterion for selecting customers is the so-called fate. Only those who are destined to receive it. But I now wonder if Shu Changshan is relying on some criteria that we can understand, such as probability and sociological laws, combined with the guests' own information, and only receiving those guests whose situation is about to improve according to his own judgment. In this way, once the customer's situation improves in the future, he will take credit for it, which will increase his fame. ”

Zhang Dingshan bowed slightly.

The investigation of Shu Changshan has reached this point and can no longer be carried out.

He looked at Lu Qingliang. Lu Qingliang said: "I have investigated, this religion called Neroth did exist, but now it has disappeared, and only some ancient books may still be circulating." It originated from the indigenous inhabitants of an island in the Pacific Ocean, and in the Age of Discovery, it spread to the civilized world through some navigators, and had a certain following.

The indigenous inhabitants believed that the earth and the sea beneath their feet were a magical, sleeping starry beast. This starry sky monster came here from far away and became a planet that revolved around the sun. ”

Lu Ming interrupted Lu Qingliang's words: "Are you saying that those indigenous people know that the earth is a planet and revolves around the sun?" ”

"On the record yes. Of course, the possibility of beautification and processing by future generations is not ruled out. Well, those indigenous people also believe that there are countless magical, great, and powerful beings in the starry sky of the universe, like the earth, a starry sky monster. One of them is this so-called 'Light Chaser'. As for this magic eye, there is no record of it.

Later, under the impact of external religions, this Nerothism lost its followers and gradually disappeared. Of course, some traces remain. At its peak, Nerothism had millions of adherents in the mountains of Alia and the valley plains, about 250 years ago. Nowadays, almost no one in these places knows about Nerothism, but from the local folklore and customs, you can still find a little trace of Nerothism.

For example, the 'earth god' enshrined in the local people's native beliefs should be a variant of the starry beast of the earth in the Nerotic religion. The locals also have the habit of eating brown sugar on September 17 every year, which should also come from the Nerotic religion, because in the original Nerotic religion, this day was the day when the starry sky monster woke up slightly, and it was sacrificed with brown sugar so that it could continue to sleep. After the sacrifice, people eat brown sugar to get blessings and good luck. ”

Lu Qingliang's investigation confirmed the authenticity of Shu Changshan's words from the side. But the strength is still not enough, and it still can't make you confirm that Shu Changshan does have some special features, or has some special abilities.

"Let's make a confirmation."

At this stage, it seems that this is the only way to do it.

Lu Ming negotiated with Shu Changshan, and in the end, Shu Changshan, who was a little unhappy because he was not trusted, still agreed to show his ability.

In the end, the agreed "project" was for Shu Changshan to use the power of the "Light Chaser" to curse a very healthy pig and let it die of cardiac arrest.

Shu Changshan began to prepare for the ceremony, and Lu Ming bought a pig from a nearby pig farm and transported it to the temporary base.

This pig enjoyed the only meticulous physical examination of the whole body in the pig's life. All kinds of expensive equipment and instruments, many of the top veterinarians were busy around the pig for two days, and finally came to a very definite conclusion: "If there is no accident and no abuse, this pig will not die in the next half a month." ”

Lu Ming's favorite thing is this kind of categorical conclusion that does not bring any model lake area. So the pig was kept here at the makeshift base, where a veterinarian was in charge of caring for it. Even its food and water need to be tested before they can be delivered.

Everything is ready, and the curse ritual is about to begin.

After some preliminary calculations, Shu Changshan finally set the time for the ceremony to be held at 9:26 p.m., behind the factory, and the altar had to face about six degrees south-west.

According to him, every one of these places is exquisite. Depending on the matter, depending on the object, it is necessary to go through some special calculations of occult knowledge before the final determination of how the ritual should be performed. This is the only way to communicate with the Light Chaser and achieve its goals while avoiding its harm as much as possible.

After completing the preparations, Shu Changshan put on blue clothes again, went barefoot, and came to the altar.

On the altar was a wooden bowl with some brown blood and some black hair. The blood and hair were collected from the pig, which, according to Shu Changshan, was a necessary medium for the curse to be carried out.

Of course, these were not collected by Shu Changshan himself. In order to prevent him from doing anything, these things were collected by the guards and then handed over to him.

At this moment, He Wei was in the pig barn and watched the pig in person, while Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were on the altar and watched Shu Changshan hold the ceremony with their own eyes.

The barefoot Shu Changshan took a step forward and came to the altar with solemnity. He grabbed a handful of silver powder, sprinkled it lightly into the air, and began to chant a slightly mocky incantation in his mouth. Even with Lu Ming's ears, he could only vaguely hear some words such as "eternity", "chasing light", and "greatness", which seemed to call for the mysterious existence that existed in the starry sky.

After throwing the silver powder, he smeared some of the fragrant sap from the plant on his left hand, and the blood of the pig on his right hand, and knelt down in front of the altar with his hands folded, muttering words that he could not yet hear.

The curse has begun.

At this moment, there was an inexplicable strange aura under the night. Lu Ming's expression was calm, but his heart gradually lifted, and his body gradually tensed. He looked at Shu Changshan tightly, not daring to miss the slightest.

In another place, in the pig house, smelling a slightly stinky smell, He Wei also looked closely at the pig that was humming and drinking water.

With some hair and blood, can this pig really be cursed to death? Is there really some mysterious power in the underworld that is independent of the scientific system?

We have confirmed through scientific and technological means that this pig is very healthy and very healthy. It cannot die without accidents, without being abused, such as without food or drink.

Just when He Wei was also a little nervous, the pig suddenly raised its head, no longer drinking water or eating, but looked straight ahead, and its body was motionless.

He Wei's heart tightened, and she reflexively followed the pig's line of sight, but only saw the bare walls, and nothing else. I looked at the pig again, but I saw that it was still motionless.

A thought flashed through He Wei's heart.

No...... Really cursed, right?

She immediately got up and walked a few steps to the pig. But I saw that the pig snorted again, and there was a bang in the buttocks, and a large cloud of black pig manure gushed out, crackling and falling on the ground, and the smell came to the face.

Then, as if nothing had happened, it lowered its head again and began to eat the pig food with a snort.

it!

He Wei cursed hatefully in her heart, took a few steps back and sat on the seat, and continued to stare at it.

At this moment, next to the altar, in front of Lu Ming's eyes, Shu Changshan had completely knelt on the ground, and his mouth had stopped chanting, as if he was communicating with an unknown existence at the spiritual level.

The atmosphere gradually became solemn. The guard in charge of security also involuntarily clenched the gun in his hand, as if some monster was about to emerge in the next moment.

Under the gaze of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming, after waiting for a long time, Shu Changshan finally made a move. He didn't get up, but his body began to tremble slightly.

Lu Ming's heart became more dignified.

Shiver? Is it fear? What is he afraid of?

He glanced at Zhang Dingshan. Zhang Dingshan shook his head gently. So Lu Ming suppressed the impulse in his heart and continued to wait patiently.

After waiting for a while, Shu Changshan moved again. His legs were still on his knees, his upper body slowly straightened up, his head raised, and he looked at Lu Ming. At this moment, Lu Ming clearly noticed that Shu Changshan's expression was full of fear.

"No, no."

He muttered, and suddenly walked a few steps on his knees, pounced in front of Lu Ming, and said tremblingly: "Sheriff Lu, let me go, let me go, okay, I beg you, I won't participate, I don't participate, please let me go......"

Lu Ming looked at him a little stiffly, and subconsciously went to help. Shu Changshan knelt on the ground, begging bitterly. Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Shu Changshan, tell me what happened." ”

His voice seems to have a strange power that can make people subconsciously obey. Shu Changshan turned his head and looked at Zhang Dingshan with despair: "I can't feel God anymore, I can't feel it anymore...... This has never happened before. It must be because of my participation in your mission that God will cut ties with me. It abandoned me, abandoned me......"

Shu Changshan's teeth were trembling.

"It must be because the MONOCULUS is too powerful, it's too powerful...... I'm not involved, please let me go, or I'm going to die, I'm going to die a terrible death......"
