At this moment, the composition of this restored torii is not all the original materials.

In the demolition and landfill more than ten years ago, a considerable part of the material has been lost, and it is impossible to recover it. It's pretty good to be able to figure out some of the big chunks.

The missing part was filled in by experts in ancient architecture with a black-red material. So, at this moment, the archway in front of me is full of black and red colors.

Immediately after the restoration of the torii is completed, the inspection of it begins.

The first is the material science aspect.

Lv Qingliang brought in several well-known material testing teams to make a detailed determination of it from the aspects of rock structure, radiation residue, trace element content, weathering and oxidation, etc.

On the other hand, around the archway, several other teams mobilized by Lu Qingliang began to carry out environmental measurements to detect what kind of impact the appearance of this archway has on the current environment.

For example, after the appearance of this torii arch, there is a disturbance of air flow, whether there is an unexplained phenomenon of air flow, whether there is an impact on the propagation of sound, on temperature, on light, and so on.

In order to make a comparison, in another part of this military base, the second team of operations also found someone to reproduce this archway on a one-to-one basis.

After testing, experimenting, and investigation, five or six days have passed. The final test report was finally placed in front of the three members of the second team of the operation.

"No anomalies. There's nothing unusual anywhere."

Lu Ming flipped through the test reports in front of him - there were thick stacks, there were fifty or sixty sheets, and the categories involved any testing direction he could think of.

But all the tests ended up showing the same result.

It's all normal.

"Okay. There is a suspicion of abnormality in the archway of the Zhou family, and it seems that it can be ruled out."

He Wei was a little listless.

Originally, she had high hopes for this clue. But now it seems that this is also a dead end.

Wang Quan's ability to obtain the "information" of people or things that are cursed to disappear seems to have nothing to do with the Zhou family archway.

At this point, all clues have been ruled out.

Lu Ming thought about it and came up with another idea.

"Maybe we can find out from the consequences of this torii."

"Consequences?"

He Wei was a little puzzled: "Lu Ming, do you still think that there is an abnormality in this archway?"

Lu Ming sighed: "I really don't have any other investigation ideas, so I can only try to dig from here again."

"What are you going to investigate?"

"The purpose of the Zhou family to build this archway was because there were too many accidents in their own family, and the family showed a trend of decline. This torii was built to pray for blessings and change the fortune of the family. So, has the Zhou family's original family luck changed?"

Zhang Dingshan was thoughtful.

Lu Ming's words hinted at a possibility. This possibility is, is there actually some kind of abnormality in this archway, but it can't be detected by our detection methods at the moment?

However, it doesn't matter if it can't be detected. As long as evidence can be found to prove that it really worked—for example, it really changed the luck of the Zhou family, which had begun to decline, it can also be proved that there are some anomalies in it.

Just like a glass of water, no matter where it is tested, it cannot be found to be toxic, but a person who drinks this glass of water is poisoned, which can only prove that the glass of water still has undetected toxicity.

The plan proposed by Lu Ming can be regarded as a feasible path.

It's just that......

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that after the Zhou family built this archway, there were indeed no major accidents within the family. But does that prove that the torii has worked?"

I'm afraid not.

"I think it's better to gather information first. Maybe you can see something in it."

Lu Ming's proposal was finally approved by Zhang Dingshan. So, about the Zhou family's capital hundreds of years ago

Once again, the material was quickly collected.

The first person to contact the second team was naturally the descendants of the Zhou family.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Zhou family has become a veritable big family. In today's era, there are hundreds of adults and hundreds of minors who are directly related to the Zhou family.

They are scattered all over the world, and many of them have long since lost contact with each other, and they don't even know that they exist with each other.

In modern society, this is a very normal thing.

Any modern person, I don't know how many relatives have in Wufu, and even fewer who keep in touch. What's more, even if they don't come out of the five suits, they don't know each other for a long time.

But none of this escaped the investigation of the second team of operations. Once the location of these descendants has been identified, the local sheriff's office will come to the door, collect documents such as genealogies and family letters, and ask the elderly members of the family, asking them about their childhood memories and the few words they have heard from their elders about the family.

In the vicinity of Nanlin Street, where Zhou's house is located, the visit to the old residents also began again, collecting as much information as possible about the original Zhou family.

Lu Ming once again began to search for historical materials, searching for information from ancient books such as local chronicles and family records, and corroborating the materials collected from the first two operations.

In the end, millions of words were searched for text information alone. The written data was given to the data analysts of the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Agency, and when the final results were presented to the four members of Operation Team 2 again, several people immediately noticed the anomaly.

If you just rely on a sentence "before the memorial arch was built, the Zhou family accidents were frequent, after the memorial arch was built, there were no more accidents", it is determined that there is an abnormality in the memorial arch, and the memorial arch has played a special effect, I am afraid it is a bit arbitrary, some far-fetched.

But at this moment, with the detailed and highly credible data on it, the four of them couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.

In fact, before the archway was built and after the archway was built, it was too clear. Even an ordinary person can easily perceive the difference between the two time periods.

According to statistics, before the archway was built, there were 6 to 8 accidents in the Zhou family on average every year. This situation began with the second son of the Zhou family forcing the peasant girl to death and throwing the corpse into the pit, and it lasted for four years until the end of the completion of the archway.

The first thing is, of course, the death of the second son of the Zhou family. Since his death, the harvest in the fields has not been good, the youngest daughter has eloped with a servant, the eldest son has a bad career, the younger grandson has broken his leg, Zhuangzi has been plundered by lake bandits, the timber business has been embezzled by county officials, and so on, and so on.

The huge Zhou family, because of this continuous bad luck, half of the family property was tossed.

When the torii is completed, the effect can be regarded as immediate, and immediately after that, there is no new bad luck.

Of course, there are ordinary unlucky events, but after analysis, these unlucky events are only the follow-up effects of the previous unlucky events, which belong to the extension of the previous events. There is no new bad luck.

Looking at the data, all four fell silent.

At the moment, there is no point in denying it. Because the reality is already here.

"This torii ...... Does it really work?"

Lu Ming touched his head: "If this archway is really useful, then I am afraid that the revenge of the unjust soul rumored before also has a certain degree of authenticity......

Several people noticed that before the second son of the Zhou family forced the peasant girl to death and threw her body into the pit, the Zhou family could still be regarded as smooth sailing.

Could it really be that the female ghost's revenge on the Zhou family led to the bad luck of the Zhou family, and the master built an archway to suppress it, and the luck of the Zhou family immediately returned to normal?

Too wicked, right?

Lu Ming instinctively didn't want to believe it. But at this moment, what other explanation could there be than this one?

In particular, Wang Quan is also vaguely involved in this archway. What is the relationship between Wang Quan's curse ability and this archway?

Curse, curse...... Curse?

Lu Ming suddenly felt a thrill all over his body, and suddenly remembered something.

He didn't speak, but pulled directly over the computer and began to look carefully in the database of eucalyptus information. Zhang Dingshan and He Wei glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn at the same time.

Lu Ming seems to have made some new discoveries or ideas. He seemed to be looking for evidence of his own thoughts.

Lu Ming rummaged through the database for a long time and looked at it for a long time. In this process, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei even went out to breathe because they waited too long, and they also had a meal, until it was almost dark, the two returned to the conference room, and waited for a while before they saw Lu Ming let out a long breath.

Lu Ming's search is over.

"I was almost frightened by these gods and monsters."

Lu Ming muttered, raised his head, looked out the window, and was stunned to find that the sky had darkened.

"It's dark?"

He Wei stretched: "What do you think? It's been five or six hours...... Tell me what you've found."

Lu Ming smiled a little embarrassedly: "There are indeed some discoveries, but I don't know if it's useful. In this way, I found that the root cause of all the bad luck that the Zhou family suffered in those years was because someone died."

"Someone...... Dead?"

"Yes."

Lu Ming's expression was a little more serious: "It's like the matter of the lake bandits robbing the Zhou family's Zhuangzi. This incident is indeed an unfortunate thing, which led to heavy losses for the Zhou family, and is the evidence of the Zhou family's repeated misfortune. But why didn't the lake bandits come to plunder in the past?"

He Wei's expression froze, and she vaguely noticed the abnormality in this matter.

"I rummaged through some information and found out that the Zhou family had taken in a foreigner. The stranger was stout, but he was very weak because he had been hungry for too long. Later, this person stayed in the Zhou family, and after recovering, he helped the Zhou family form a village protection team and trained it single-handedly.

Under the leadership of this foreigner, this village protection team has quite strong combat effectiveness. Whether it was fighting against the lake bandits or urging rent and grain, they all played a great role, and they were the guarantee of the Zhou family's bullying of the township.

But, the stranger, according to the record, "fell into the water drunk and died", died. It was his death that led to a great drop in the combat effectiveness of the village protection team, and the incident of the lake bandits looting the Zhou family Zhuangzi occurred."

Zhang Dingshan pondered: "The death of this foreigner is the root cause of the lake bandits' robbery."

"That's right. There is another thing. The eldest son of the Zhou family was an official in other places, but then his career began to be unsmooth and he was almost dismissed. I searched for information for a long time to find out the real cause of his almost dismissal.

The root is that the clan brothers of the chief official of his state capital had close contacts with the eldest son of the Zhou family when they came to the jurisdiction of the eldest son of the Zhou family to do business. But one night, after the feast, the brother of the governor of the state government was pushed down from the upper floor and fell to his death.

The superior's brother is in your jurisdiction, and after drinking with you, he was pushed downstairs and fell to his death, can you get out of the relationship?

Because of this, the eldest son of the Zhou family was almost dismissed, although he kept his position after activities, but his career has not been smooth since then.

The root of this bad luck is also because of the dead man.

There is another piece of bad luck. The youngest daughter of the Zhou family eloped with a servant.

There are records that the management of the Zhou family's house is quite strict. The aunt and sister of the housewife of the Zhou family are the housekeepers of the Zhou family's inner house. This woman was still very capable, and managed everything very well, and the servants were all trembling, and did not dare to transgress the rules.

The treatment of the servants in the Zhou family is not bad, at least it is much better than being a tenant. Therefore, the local villagers are willing to enter the Zhou family as servants. But because of the aunt's sister as a housekeeper, some people with improper styles can't enter the Zhou family at all.

But one day, this aunt's sister died inexplicably. The cause of death was not detailed, but in short, it was death. After her death, she was replaced by a new housekeeper, who was corrupt and bribed, and recruited everyone to the house, but he could still make the old lady and old lady of the Zhou family happy.

The servant who eloped with the youngest daughter of the Zhou family was a second-rate son before entering the Zhou family, and he was recruited only after giving the housekeeper money

Target. The youngest daughter of the Zhou family is considered to be a beautiful girl, and she can't go out of the door, where can she withstand the seduction of such a second-rate person, and it is not strange to elope with him.

The root of this bad luck is also because of the dead man.

In total, there were more than 20 bad luck events, and I checked them, and there were 16 of them that could be clearly determined to have occurred because of the death of a key person. The rest of the events, although there is no clear evidence that it happened because someone died, there is no evidence to falsify it.

From this, I feel that we have reason to make such a judgment: the doom of the Zhou family is caused by the death of some people in key positions.

And, another judgment can be made: the disappearance of the Zhou family's bad luck is caused by the fact that those who are in key positions no longer die.

So, this Zhoujia archway ...... Does it really work? Is it really its completion that caused the death event to stop appearing and make the Zhou family's bad luck disappear?

Still is...... The deaths of those who are more critical to the Zhou family are not normal in the first place?"

He Wei was shocked, instantly remembered something, and said in a lost voice: "That master!"
