Up to this moment, Operation Team Two has really adopted any countermeasures they can think of that may be useful to try to save the close ones of these cursed people.

When the curse is first applied, the cursed person can avoid being cursed by leaving Blue Lake City.

But once the cursed person dies, those close to him cannot avoid the misfortune no matter what.

Secret protection, centralized surveillance, changing names, household registration, moving away from Blue Lake City, and even reaching the other side of the earth - this is the farthest place on the earth from Blue Lake City, etc., but now we see Come on, it's all useless.

It's no use at all. Now, it is inferred

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

Otherwise, how can we call it destiny? At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly thought of Zeng Jian, the security guard who was also cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide while investigating this case.

Before he committed suicide, he left a suicide note that read

"Everything is fate." Because of this, the original Director Li Wenhua gave the code name to this piece of eucalyptus:

"Fate", and our own side took over the investigation. According to the findings of our own investigation so far, the cause of this incident

The "real" order should be Zeng Jian's many years later

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

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

"The only house turned into a dilapidated house",

"My father is mentally ill and will never get better",

The state after the devastation of events such as "genetic diseases occur and cannot be cured but can only be controlled" has come to these

Before the "reason" appeared, before all this happened, it was Zeng Jian at that time. Zeng Jian, who had been tortured by fate, could not bear all this. He lost all hope and realized that the situation would only get worse in the future and would never get better.

He lost all courage to live and finally succumbed to his fate. Staying

After writing a suicide note saying "Everything is fate", he committed suicide.

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

"What should we do?" Lu Qingliang asked this question. No one could answer him. But at this moment, the answer that seems to be the only one that one can choose appears in the minds of several people at the same time.

Gum knot. I have very good reasons for choosing to get married now, and it seems to be extremely necessary.

First of all, even if we speculate that

"Reversal of cause and effect" is wrong. The fact is that the curse spreads. At present, the curse only spreads to the victims' close people and will not have any impact on other people.

And if the fact is indeed

"Reversal of cause and effect" will not affect other people. This means that from beginning to end, this incident has always been maintained within a very small scope.

——The fate of thousands of people seems to be a big thing and the number of people is large, but it is insignificant compared to the entire civilization.

I don’t know how many people have died on a large scale in the history of human civilization. Even a war that lasts for decades can cause the death of hundreds of millions of people, and it is unknown what will happen to civilization as a result.

Secondly, our own investigation has reached the end of its rope and can no longer continue.

It’s not that we don’t want to save those people’s fate. But we are really powerless. 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. We even went to great lengths to secretly protect all the targets. The funds were consumed like water, but it was still useless.

We've all done this, but if it still doesn't work, what else can we do? As for those close friends of the cursed person who may be affected after the marriage and are almost destined to have a tragic fate... we can only say that we are sorry.

We also want to save you, but sorry, we really can't do anything.

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

Lu Qingliang seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was trying to explain himself or someone else, and said: "Supernatural cases... we can't find any results, that's normal. Which team doesn't have a lot of clues. The people in our second team are not gods. How can we check every case?" Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Then, let's vote. Raise your hands if you agree." He Wei and Lu Qingliang He raised his hand.

Lu Ming struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Don't get married yet. Give me another two days to think about it carefully, and then think about it again." Two people agreed, and one objected.

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

If he also objects, the proposal will not be passed. If he also agrees, then it can only end here.

Zhang Dingshan was silent and thinking for a long time, then slowly shook his head.

"No worries. Keep investigating."

"Captain..." He Wei called him in a worried voice. Zhang Dingshan pressed down his hands to stop He Wei's further words, and said seriously: "I know that even if we don't get married, we don't know what else we can do now. But...for example, if we are a A person who has fallen into the water is about to be drowned. We are pushed forward by the turbulent water, and there is a waterfall in front of us. Once we are washed down the waterfall, we will definitely fall to death. Even if we don't fall to death, we will definitely drown. We are hopeless. Everyone can see that we are going to die. But even if we are already going to die, are we willing to see people still running back and forth shouting on the shore, calling us anxiously, trying to use all means to try to save us, or are we willing to see all the Are people indifferent and indifferent to us?" He Wei thought for a while: "Of course I want to see someone still working hard to save us."

"But even you know in your heart that you are hopeless." He Wei remained silent. Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Even if I die in the end, before I die, I see so many people trying to save me and never give up until the last moment. Even if I die in the end, I will With peace of mind, I will know that I did not come to this world in vain, and the civilization I live in... has warmth. This is the dignity that I can have as a human being." Following Zhang Dingshan's words, He Wei seemed to have also entered the world. What kind of situation is one trapped in a rapids with no hope of survival.

Her expression gradually became fierce.

"I don't ask anyone to jump into the rapids and risk being swept down the waterfall to my death. I just ask others to provide me with some help while ensuring my own safety. I can't swim and I can't jump. Come down, can you throw me the wood next to you? Can you stretch out a branch and try to let me catch it? Can you call the police quickly and let the security guard come to save me? As long as you are willing to help me, no matter how big or small, I will be satisfied and die. I can rest in peace. Whether I can be saved in the end is God's business and depends on God's will. But whether you are willing to save me and whether you are willing to make some efforts to save me is your own business. If people I can really turn into a ghost after death, so if everyone refuses to save me and treats me indifferently, I will not be able to feel at ease even if I become a ghost after death." Lu Qingliang lowered his head: "I understand. I also Opposition ends now." Zhang Dingshan said: "Even if we cannot save those people's lives or change their fate in the end, we will fight until the moment their lives end. This is the mission of our operations office."

"Yes." The deceased is gone, and what has happened cannot be changed. The overall operational goal of the second operation team is just to prevent those who have not yet suffered misfortune from suffering misfortune again and to be able to live peacefully and peacefully.

After unifying the thoughts of the team and confirming that they should continue to investigate the case at this moment and make every effort - even if this effort is of no use in the end, they should continue to try to save those affected, Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming .

"Lu Ming, don't have any psychological pressure or burden. No matter whether you can find a way to change their fate in the end, you have tried your best. As long as you try your best, you can have a clear conscience." Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "But I am very greedy. . Not only do I want to have a clear conscience, I also want the sense of accomplishment after truly changing the destiny of others.”

"Then do your best."

"yes."

"Then that's it for today. Qing Liang, you continue to provide logistical support. He Wei, you and I continue to join the special service team to monitor the lives of those affected, and try our best to solve the dangers and hidden dangers they encounter in their lives. Lu Ming, I won’t assign tasks to you, you decide what you want to do next.”

"Yes." The meeting is about to end. He Wei sorted out her thoughts, looked at Zhang Dingshan, then at Lu Ming, and said, "How about... let's go find something delicious? I asked again about the native pork raised in the mountains south of Blue Lake City. It's delicious. The local way of eating it is to stew it with dried bamboo shoots from the mountains. It's very famous. Let's go try it?" The originally dull atmosphere in the conference room was instantly cleared by He Wei's words.

Lu Ming felt a bit dumbfounded for a moment: "He Wei, you've had enough." He Wei encouraged: "It's just a meal, and it won't delay anything, let's give it a try." Lu Qingliang was envious. Said: "I've also heard of local pork stewed with dried bamboo shoots. I also bought dried bamboo shoots from Blue Lake, but unfortunately I don't know how to make them. It's not delicious. I really want to try the authentic local recipe. I also heard He said that local people do not stew fresh pork directly, but also smoke it, which is very complicated."

"How about it? Are you going? 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 will try it when I have time in the future." Seeing that the two of them objected at the same time , He Wei had to withdraw her suggestion angrily, but still looked unwilling.

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

Look, it's still early, it's just dusk. Lu Ming got up and went to the cafeteria to have something to eat before leaving the base.

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

Lu Ming came here.

"You come after me!"

"Mom! He took my lollipop!"

"Let me tell you, in that supermarket to the west, the quality of the food is always bad, and they don't let you choose. No wonder the business is getting worse and worse, no one goes there."

"The eggs at Xingfu Supermarket are on sale, and the vegetables are fresh. They are picked fresh from the fields every day."

"Hello? I'm outside, I can't go back..." Lu Ming strolled in the small park, and the conversations of the surrounding citizens came to silence, full of the breath of life.

The sun has set now and it is no longer hot. The artificial lake next to it brings a touch of coolness and water vapor, and combined with the gently swaying branches in the breeze, people's hearts slowly calm down unconsciously.

After walking past a group of children who were playing with each other, he gently helped a girl who ran past him and almost tripped over. After receiving a thank you from the young mother, Lu Ming finally came to the artificial lake and stood next to a clear picture. He sat down on the bench, facing the slightly wavy lake, and thought quietly.

Lu Ming was sorting out the entire incident carefully. From the beginning to the end, from Zhang Luyu who broke the news at the beginning, to Feng Guozhu, to the subsequent psychologist investigation, to Zeng Jian, to Wu Biao, Wang Quan, to the previous masters, it has developed to the present. Sorting out every detail, every discovery, every speculation and conclusion in this incident.

There are many factors involved in this incident. But many factors do not seem necessary, or do not involve the core.

In the end, during Lu Ming's long thinking, he temporarily excluded all non-essential and non-core factors.

In the end, only a few key points remained in Lu Ming's thoughts. Cause and effect are reversed, time is confused, and information is lost.

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

The "reason" appears. Time chaos is the deeper nature of this incident. It is precisely because of anomalies in the timeline that the result appears before the cause.

Information loss is the specific method of presenting the results. An object - no matter it is a person or a pig, a hill or a factory, its information is lost. In a macro sense, the existence of this object as a person, pig, hill, factory or tree is no longer valid.

Lu Ming believes that these three points are the core of this incident. Once these three points are clarified, the essence of this incident will most likely be clarified.

However, only by understanding this incident can we truly find a way to change the fate of those affected and truly save them.

Time passes slowly. The originally noisy little park gradually became quiet. The surrounding buildings were lit up with lights, a bright moon hung in the sky, and there was an atmosphere of peace between heaven and earth.
