Chapter 44: The Temperature of Civilization

As of this point, Operation 2 has really resorted to whatever possible and useful response they can think of in an attempt to save the close friends of the Cursed.

At the time of the curse, the cursed person can avoid being cursed by leaving Blue Lagoon City.

But once the cursed person dies, their close ones cannot avoid doom in any way.

Covert protection, centralized surveillance, name changes, household registration, moving away from Blue Lagoon, and even as far as the other side of the globe - this is the farthest place on Earth from Blue Lagoon, blah blah blah, but now it seems that none of this is of any use.

It didn't work at all. And now, speculated

After the possibility of "fate", this situation has also been theoretically explained. Since it is fate, since it is fate, it is obvious that no matter what you do, it cannot be useful.

Otherwise, how can it be called fate? At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly remembered the vigilante who was in the process of investigating this and was also cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide, Zeng Jian.

Before committing suicide, he left a suicide note, which read

"Everything is fate". Because of this, the original Director Li Wenhua named the code name of this eucalyptus

"Fate", and take over the investigation by yourself. According to their own investigation to the present findings, this incident

The order of "real" should be many years after Zeng Jian

"Result", that is, experienced a series of events, including:

"The incident of assaulting others was revealed many years ago",

"The only house becomes a dilapidated house",

"My father is irritable and can't get better",

"Genetic diseases are incurable, they can only be controlled" and other events after the devastation, and these are the states

Before the "reason" appeared, Zeng Jian, who had not experienced all this, was at that time. Suffering from the ravages of fate, Zeng Jian could not bear all this, he lost all hope, and realized that the situation could only get worse and worse in the future, and that it would never get better.

He lost all the courage to live and finally succumbed to fate. In the stay

After the suicide note that "everything is fate", he committed suicide.

"Fate, fate......" Lu Ming muttered the word.

"What are we going to do?" Lu Qingliang asked this question. No one could answer him. But at this moment, it seemed that the answer that was the only choice for his side appeared in the hearts of several people at the same time.

Eucalyptus. There are very good reasons for choosing to tie the knot at this moment, and it seems to be extremely necessary.

First of all, even if you speculate

The "inversion of cause and effect" is wrong, and the fact is that the curse spreads, and so far it seems that the curse only spreads to the victim's close associates, and has no effect on the rest of the people.

And if it is

"Cause and effect reversal", it will not affect the rest of the people. This means that, from the beginning to the end, the incident has been kept within a very small scale.

- The fate of thousands of people, it seems that things are big and there are many people, but they are insignificant compared to the civilization as a whole.

I don't know how many people have died on a large scale in the history of human civilization. Even decades of war at a time can kill hundreds of millions of people, and I don't see what happens to civilization.

Second, our own investigation has been carried out so far, and it is really exhausted and cannot continue.

It's not that we don't want to save the fate of those people. It's that there's really nothing we can do. We tried everything we could think of that might work, but to no avail.

We didn't care about the consumption of funds at all, and we even went to great lengths to protect all the targets secretly, and the consumption of funds was like flowing water, but it was still useless.

We've all done it to this extent, and if it still doesn't work, what else can we do? As for those who may be affected after the causptus, the close of the cursed who are almost destined for a tragic fate...... All we can say is sorry.

We'd love to save you too, but sorry, there's really nothing we can do.

"Let's get it." He Wei sighed, and finally said the word. Lu Ming's heart was full of anger and unwillingness, but he was so powerless that he couldn't even say the words to stop him.

Lu Qingliang seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was explaining himself and others, and said, "Supernatural eucalyptus...... I can't find a result, it's normal. Which squad doesn't have a few hanging eucalyptus in their hands. The people of our second team are not gods, how can we find out every eucalyptus. Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Then, vote." Raise your hand in approval. He Wei and Lu Qingliang raised their hands.

Lu Ming struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Don't tie it first." Give me two more days to think about it and think about it again. Two agreed, one opposed.

The most critical vote fell on Zhang Dingshan. He is the captain and his vote has higher authority.

If he also objected, then the proposal of the knot could not be passed. If he agrees, then it can only be settled.

Zhang Dingshan thought silently for a long time, and slowly shook his head.

"Don't tie the eucalyptus. Continue the investigation. ”

"Captain......" He Wei whispered to him with some concern. Zhang Dingshan pressed down with both hands, stopped He Wei's further words, and said solemnly: "I know, even if we don't get married, we don't know what else we can do now." But...... Let's say we're drowning, for example, if we're a drowning person. We are propelled forward by the raging water, and in front of us is a waterfall, and if we are washed down the waterfall, we will surely fall to our death. Even if you don't fall to your death, you will definitely drown. We are hopeless, and anyone can see that we are going to die. But even if we are mortal, do we want to see people running back and forth on the shore, calling us anxiously, trying to save us by all means, or do we want to see everyone indifferent and ignore us? He Wei thought for a while: "Of course, I would like to see someone who is still working hard to save us." ”

"But even you know in your heart that you are hopeless." He Wei was silent. Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Even if I am still dead in the end, but before I die, I saw so many people who have been trying to save me, and they have not given up until the last moment before I die...... There is a temperature. This is the dignity that I can have as a human being. With Zhang Dingshan's words, He Wei also seemed to be in a situation where she was trapped in the rapids and had no hope of survival.

Her expression grew fierce.

"I don't ask anyone to jump into the rapids and risk being washed down the waterfall to my death, I just ask someone else to help me while keeping myself safe. I can't swim, I can't jump, can I throw the wood around me? Can you stick out a branch and try to hold it on? Can you call the police and let the sheriffs come and save me? As long as you are willing to help me, no matter how big or small, I will be satisfied, and I can rest in peace when I die. Whether or not I can be saved in the end is a matter of God, and it depends on God's will. But whether you want to save me, whether you want to make some effort to save me, is your own business. If people can really become ghosts after death, then if everyone refuses to save me and treats me indifferently, I will not be able to become a ghost after death. Lu Qingliang lowered his head: "I understand." I'm also against this knot. Zhang Dingshan said: "Even if we can't save those people's lives and change their fate in the end, we will fight until the moment their lives end." This is the mission of our Operations Division. ”

"Yes." The dead are gone, and what has happened cannot be changed. The overall goal of the second team is only to prevent those who have not yet suffered from bad luck from suffering bad luck again, and to live in peace and peace.

After unifying the thoughts of the team and confirming that it was still necessary to continue to check the eucalyptus at this moment, and make every effort - even if this effort was useless in the end, it was necessary to continue to try to save those affected, Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"Lu Ming, don't have psychological pressure, don't have a burden. Whether or not you can find a way to change their fate in the end, you have done your best. As long as you do your best, you can have a clear conscience. Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "But I'm greedy." Not only do I want to have a clear conscience, I also want a sense of accomplishment when I truly change the fate of others. ”

"Then do your best."

"Yes."

"That's it for today. Qingliang, you continue to do a good job of logistical support. He Wei, you and I continue to work together with the Special Service Team to monitor the lives of those affected, and try our best to solve the dangers and hidden dangers encountered in their lives. Lu Ming, I won't assign you tasks, you decide what you want to do next. ”

"Yes." The meeting is coming to an end. He Wei sorted out her thoughts, looked at Zhang Dingshan, then at Lu Ming, and said, "Or...... Let's go find something tasty? I inquired again, the local pork raised in the mountains in the south of Blue Lake City is very delicious, and the local way to eat it is stewed with dried bamboo shoots produced in the mountains, which is very famous, let's try it? The original dull atmosphere in the conference room was instantly washed away by He Wei's words.

Lu Ming felt a little crying and laughing for a moment: "He Wei, you are enough." He Wei instigated: "Just have a meal, and don't delay anything, try it." Lu Qingliang said enviously: "Dried bamboo shoots stewed with local pork, I've also heard of it." I also bought dried bamboo shoots from the Blue Lake, but unfortunately I can't make them myself, it's not delicious. I'd love to try the authentic local practices. I've also heard that the local pork is not stewed directly, and it has to be smoked, which is very complicated. ”

"How? To go or not to go? Captain, let's go together? Lu Ming shook his head: "I'm not very interested, let's talk about it later." Zhang Dingshan said: "I'll try it when I'm free in the future." Seeing that the two of them objected at the same time, He Wei had to retract the suggestion stupidly, but she still looked unwilling.

The meeting disbanded, and Lu Ming returned to his residence. I lay on the bed for a while, trying to think about it, but my mind and thoughts were always very scattered, and I couldn't think of anything.

It's still early, it's just evening. Lu Ming got up and went to the cafeteria to eat something casually, and then left the base.

Next to the base is a small park. There is a small artificial lake in the park. In the evening, the residents of the neighborhood like to come here for a walk and play with their children.

Lu Ming came here.

"You're chasing me!"

"Mom! He robbed me of my lollipop! ”

"Let me tell you, in the supermarket in the west, the quality of the dishes is poor, and I don't let you pick them, no wonder the business is getting worse and worse, and no one goes."

"The eggs at the Happiness Supermarket are discounted, and the vegetables are fresh, and they are freshly picked from the ground every day."

"Hello? I'm outside, I can't go back......" Lu Ming strolled through the small park, and the chats of the surrounding citizens came one after another, full of the breath of life.

At this moment, the sun has set, and it is no longer hot. The artificial lake next to it brings a touch of coolness and moisture, and with the gently swaying branches under the breeze, people's hearts slowly calm down unconsciously.

Walking past a group of children who were playing with each other, gently helping a girl who ran past him who was almost tripping over, and after receiving a word of thanks from the young mother, Lu Ming finally came to the side of the artificial lake, sat down on an unmanned bench, and thought quietly in the face of the slightly rippling lake.

Lu Ming was carefully combing through the whole incident. From beginning to end, from Zhang Luyan, who broke the news at the beginning, to Feng Guozhu, to the follow-up psychologist investigation, to Zeng Jian, to Wu Biao, Wang Quan, to several previous masters, it has been developing until now, combing every detail, every discovery, every speculation and conclusion in this incident.

There are many, many factors involved in this case. But many factors don't seem to be necessary, or don't get to the core.

In the end, in Lu Ming's long thinking, those unnecessary and non-core factors were all temporarily excluded by him.

In the end, there were only a few points left in Lu Ming's thoughts. Cause and effect reversal, time confusion, loss of information.

These three points are the most critical in this incident. Among them, the inversion of cause and effect is the external manifestation of this incident.

"Result" precedes that

The "cause" appears. The chaos of time is the deeper essence of this incident. It is precisely because there is an anomaly in the timeline that the result appears in front of the cause.

Information loss, on the other hand, is the specific way to present the results. An object, whether the object is a man or a pig, a mountain or a factory, its information is lost, and in a macroscopic sense, the existence of the object as a person, a pig, a mountain, a factory, or a tree is not established.

Lu Ming believes that these three points are the core of this incident. Once these three points are clearly understood, the essence of this incident is very likely to be clarified.

Only by understanding this situation can we truly find a way to change the fate of those affected, so as to truly save them.

Time passed slowly. The noisy park gradually quieted down. The surrounding buildings are lit up, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the atmosphere of peace between heaven and earth is full.
