The severity of the reality made Lu Ming feel like there was a thick layer of clouds hanging in the conference room at this moment.

Thinking of the thousands of families and thousands of innocent people, who are destined to encounter all kinds of tragedies in the future, and even lose their lives in misery, self-proclaimed as the last line of defense of human civilization against supernatural forces, and who take it as their sacred mission to protect ordinary people from being invaded by supernatural forces, but there is no way to do it, this situation makes Lu Ming's heart full of frustration.

There's really no way to think about it, and there's no plan to do it.

If even "enclosed in the base and closely guarded 24 hours a day" can't stop the doom from happening, then what else can you do?

You can't lock up all the families who haven't suffered bad luck in the base for the rest of your life, right?

Even if he overcame all difficulties and really obtained the cooperation of those families, so as to realize this plan, Lu Ming suspected that even if he was really locked up in the base for a lifetime, this bad luck would appear in some way that he did not expect.

It doesn't make the slightest sense.

After a long time, Lu Qingliang sighed faintly: "Those who were cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide inexplicably, even if they live until now, seeing their closest people die one by one, I am afraid that they will also have a mental breakdown and eventually embark on the road of suicide."

I am afraid that this is indeed the case.

To defeat the spirit of an ordinary person, it is actually not as difficult as imagined. When the family encounters bad luck and miserable circumstances, and there is no hope for the future, then it is also a very reasonable and logical choice to embark on the road of suicide.

He Wei also sighed.

Lu Ming was also heavy in his heart. But I don't know why, Lu Qingliang's words suddenly made him realize something.

That feeling was fleeting, and before Lu Ming could catch it, it had disappeared without a trace. Lu Ming's brows furrowed, and he began to think hard, trying to get that feeling back.

"The cursed deceased, even if he lives to this day, because of the tragic circumstances, I am afraid that he will not be able to avoid the end of suicide...... Live to the present, live to the present......"

Lu Ming pressed his hands on the table and stood up reluctantly. Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, including Lu Qingliang, who participated in the meeting through video conference, all set their sights on Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's expression was extremely serious. Facing the eyes of the three people, Lu Ming maintained a serious look for a long time, but did not speak, but sat down again.

The three of them were a little puzzled, but none of them asked. saw Lu Ming pull the notebook, retrieve the information of those pieces, and began to tap the keyboard quickly.

After a long time, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, turned the notebook around, and displayed it in front of the three of them.

"I found out something, but I don't know if it's a coincidence, I don't know if it's a possibility."

Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "Take the original Zhang Luyu as an example. Zhang Lu committed suicide more than a decade ago. Then, not long ago, Zhang Lu's family suffered bad luck and was in a miserable situation.

So, if you go by timeline, the chronological order is like this.

More than ten years ago: Zhang Lu committed suicide.

More than ten years later: Zhang Lu's mother was defrauded, the house was defrauded, she owed a large amount of debt, and her mind was not normal. Zhang Lu's father was addicted to alcohol, and he was drunk all day long, constantly beating and scolding Zhang Lu's mother.

And, according to the relationship between Cheng Yu and Zhang Lu at the beginning, if Zhang Lu had no accident, the two would most likely get married. But Cheng Yu ...... Addicted to drugs."

Lu Ming's tone became heavier: "Everyone knows what drug addiction means. When you become addicted to drugs, you can't be called a human being."

After committing drug addiction, addicts can even kill their parents and steal bank cards in order to raise drug money. For the rest, forcing wives to sell their bodies, selling their sons and daughters, and the like are done without any psychological burden.

They are not even as good as brutes.

He Wei was a little puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?"

The things listed by Lu Ming are well known to several people. This doesn't seem to be anything unusual at all, other than the possibility of "curse spreading".

And the possibility of the curse spreading, he has already speculated.

Lu Ming said slowly: "My idea is that the real logic of the incident will be like this......

He turned his notebook, manipulated it a few times, and showed it in front of several people again.

This time, what happened more than a decade later was put to the forefront. What happened more than a decade ago was put on the back burner.

"Will it ...... This happened more than ten years later, is it the reason why Zhang Lu committed suicide more than ten years ago? Zhang Lu's suicide seemed to be for no reason, and the reason for her suicide did not slowly appear until now, more than ten years later?"

He Wei was stunned at first, and then a ridiculous feeling emerged in her heart.

How can the outcome of an event precede the cause? Occurrence of the result and then the cause? How is this possible?

But after thinking for a while, she found that Lu Ming's speculation was at least logically valid.

Of course, it's just logic.

Lu Ming continued: "Except for Zhang Luyan, that ......

He quickly operated on his notebook for a moment, and then called up another eucalyptus: "Zeng Jianyu."

The security officer of the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau, Zeng Jian. Some time ago, it was revealed that he had beaten others a few years ago, and if he was still alive, he would definitely be expelled, and he might even go to prison.

His father was not only paralyzed, but also mentally ill and short-tempered. His house was affected by the destruction of load-bearing walls by his lower-level neighbors, and it was almost impossible to receive compensation. He also has a genetic disease, and there is a high probability that he will develop it in the near future.

All these factors are combined, if Zeng Jian is still alive, will he choose to commit suicide to seek relief now?"

Zeng Jian, who loves the work of a security officer, must be depressed after being fired.

My father's illness could not be improved, and he had to endure torture all day long. The house was destroyed, years of savings were destroyed, and genetic diseases could only be controlled, with no hope of cure.

In such a situation, it takes enough courage to live. Killing yourself is a relief.

So...... Is it possible that these things are the real reason for Zeng Jian's suicide?

"And now families 546 and 559.

In family No. 546, the deceased's mother had a strong desire to control, and was good at mentally suppressing family members, and even forced the deceased's father to death. I've checked, and in that rural area, there is a strong sense of tradition. As the only son of the deceased, if he is still alive, in this case, the two sisters of the deceased can choose to break away from their mother and disown themselves, but ...... There is no way he can be separated from his mother."

In many rural areas, there is a notion of "the water spilled by the daughter who marries". Whether this notion is right or wrong, it is real. The existence of this concept makes it impossible for the daughter to get too much support from the original family, but in reality, it also makes the daughter bear less responsibility for the original family.

Not so with the son. In particular, the son of family number 546 is still the only son.

He was destined to take on the responsibilities of the family. The traditional concept of filial piety is that after his sister leaves the family and his father dies, he can only be confined to his mother's side.

Mothers, who are good at mind control, will not be restrained by the rupture of their daughter and the suicide of their husband. This kind of person doesn't even realize that he's wrong. They will only think that it is the world that is wrong.

In this case, her mental control over her son will inevitably intensify, causing him to suffer even more severely.

So...... It makes sense that he would commit suicide.

As for family number 559. The investigation showed that the son of family No. 559 was an honest man. After raising two children for more than ten years, and pouring all his efforts and energy into the two children for more than ten years, he suddenly found that the two children he regarded as treasures were actually born of his wife's cheating, and they were not his own sons at all, so ......

Honest people are not without temper. Honest people are just better at suppressing their temper. But once a major event occurs, once this temper breaks out, the result will definitely be devastating.

Lu Ming even thought that he suddenly learned the truth

After that, this honest man will almost certainly do extreme events, most likely killing his wife, killing his female husband, and then committing suicide.

In this way, his suicide is also justified.

In fact, Lu Ming sorted out the cases of those families that had already suffered bad luck, and found that they could all be explained by this set of logic.

"Perhaps...... The bad luck suffered by those families is not actually the spread of the curse, but the "cause"? Cause and effect reversal? The effect precedes the cause?

Is it that we are mistaken in order that the curse that we believe will spread from the victim himself to his close ones, and that it is the tragic experience of their close people that is the real reason for the victim's suicide?

This may also explain the fact that the curse on the victims of those who have no intimate person does not spread...... Because the cause of their suicide comes from other sources, not from their close friends at all.

It is "the miserable situation of the close person", or "the close person exerts too much negative influence on himself", that causes the "cursed person to commit suicide", not the other way around, the curse spreads from the cursed person to his close person......

Lu Ming muttered and told his guess.

"In this case, then our definition of Wang Quan's curse can also be modified. Is it true that the ultimate effect of Wang Quan's curse is not to make the cursed commit suicide inexplicably and for no reason, but to make the future fate of the cursed appear in advance?

No, it's not. The bottom of the universe is random, and the fate of people in the future cannot be predestined. Since fate cannot be destined, how can it be said that future fate will appear in advance? It's not right, it's not right......

Lu Ming fell into thought.

Zhang Dingshan said silently: "The trees, the house, and the hill that were cursed by Wang Quan and thus destroyed, but there is a clear reason, and there is no reversal of cause and effect."

The trees were broken off by some accidental accident and died. The old abandoned house was washed away by torrential rains. The hill collapsed due to the erosion of the internal current.

Whatever the reason, there is a reason for it, and it is not destroyed for no reason.

This is not in line with the logic proposed by Lu Ming.

He Wei said: "I noticed that all of these things that do not conform to Lu Ming's logic do not have the ability to "commit suicide". And those who have the ability to commit suicide, whether they are humans or pigs, all commit suicide for no reason."

Zhang Dingshan nodded.

This is indeed the case. Although it is unclear to several people what exactly this means.

"Is it possible that it is due to 'economic' factors?"

Lu Qingliang made a guess: "For people or animals with the ability to commit suicide, letting them commit suicide is the most economical way to make their "information" disappear, so they chose to commit suicide. And for those plants or objects that do not have the ability to commit suicide, the most economical way to make their "information" disappear is through some kind of accidental factor? Like the storm that washed away the old house, like the erosion of the water that caused the hill to collapse."

Lu Ming shook his head slowly: "There's no way to know for sure. At the same time, there is a high probability that there is no way to verify the authenticity of my speculation."

In the early stage, after suddenly having the excitement of this idea, at this moment, Lu Ming had slowly calmed down and realized the many unreasonableness in his speculation.

The inability to verify authenticity is one. The second is that although I have a speculation about "economy", it is undeniable that there is a phenomenon of "no causal inversion" in the field of plants and dead things, which contradicts my own speculation.

After the combination of the two, Lu Ming felt that his speculation was actually of little value. He was already planning to abandon this speculation and continue to think about the rest of the possibilities.

At this time, He Wei suddenly said, "Wait, that's not right. Isn't there really a causal reversal in the process of the death of plants and dead things, uh, the disappearance of "information"?"

Lu Ming was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that house, that hill, that few trees

The reason why their "information" disappears really happens before the result?"

Lu Qingliang was surprised: "Wasn't it already determined at that time? The house collapsed because of the storm, the hill was eroded by the current, and the first of the trees seemed to have been blown by the wind? The second tree is thunderous? I remember a few other trees that were dumped with chemicals......

"That's not what I meant." He Wei shook her head: "I mean, before these reasons, the house, the hill, and the tree were already "dead"? Do these causes also appear after they die? Is it also a "reversal of cause and effect"?"

Lu Ming was stunned again.

He understood what He Wei meant.

Is that a possibility...... At that time, it was true that the Chinese side did not delve into this issue.

After all, everything was so plausible that there was really no need to delve into it at the time. So, are there any details that you have overlooked? Is it really as He Wei said, even if it is plants and dead things, there is actually a phenomenon that the effect precedes the cause?

Lu Qingliang instantly became excited, but instantly depressed.

"It's too late. Those plants and houses are long gone, and there is no way to survey them."

He Wei looked at Lu Qingliang with the eyes of an idiot. Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Wang Quan is still in our hands. Just do one more experiment."

Lu Qingliang was embarrassed. He Wei said, "You can also test it to see if it is really a causal reversal."

Lu Ming thought about it and nodded.

The environment of plants and dead objects is relatively "simple". What cannot be confirmed from humans and animals may be verified from them.
