"Yes Yes."
Lu Qingliang put down the phone with a solemn expression and took a long breath.
Just before, the person on duty at the Planetary Security Agency's Operations Office called him and asked him to summon all members of the second operation team within three days.
He was already familiar with the process, so he didn't know that a new task was coming.
Recalling that the last episode ended, it has been almost four months now. This interval cannot be considered short.
It seems that there have not been many supernatural incidents in recent times.
Of course, this is a good thing. Lu Qingliang wished he could do nothing all day long until he died of old age. Because that means peace in the world, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
But reality is always independent of human will.
"I wonder what kind of eucalyptus it will be this time..."
By the way, it is worth mentioning that in the almost four months since the last time our team dealt with the fateful incident, those close to the cursed people have still not encountered bad luck.
The rest of the second operation team went on vacation, but Lu Qingliang, who stayed at the headquarters, was always paying attention to the follow-up of this matter. Of course, this is also one of his responsibilities.
This seems to mean that the last episode is really over.
"Then it's time to take on a new challenge."
Lu Qingliang picked up the phone.
Several radio waves left the capital city and came to several different places on the earth.
In the small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, He Wei found the manager of this supermarket.
"Manager, I have family matters and I have to go back to my hometown. I want to resign."
During this time, she found a job as a cashier in this supermarket.
After completing the resignation task with some twists and turns and receiving a salary of 3,000 yuan during this period, He Wei curled her lips and hailed a taxi.
"Go to the airport."
In a certain community, Lu Ming reluctantly turned off his beloved computer.
The phone rang. When I opened it, I saw a message from my friend in the game "Thousands of Girls Fall in Love with Me".
"Young Master Kuang, get online soon, we're going to fight the BOSS."
"I'm going on a business trip and I won't be able to log in for a while. If you have time, please log in for me."
"Damn, you're on a business trip again. You're even less reliable than Hua Shao."
…
"Dad, mom, sister, I'm leaving."
Li Guizhi looked at Lu Ming and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something. Lu Ming seemed to have had a premonition and ran away as if running away.
"Hey, after leaving, I don't know how many months it will be..."
The corners of Li Guizhi's eyes were a little moist. Lu Ming's car had already gone away, and she was still standing at the gate of the community, refusing to go back.
In the suburbs of the capital city, Zhang Dingshan drove Zhang Li to the gate of the primary school in the early morning. After getting out of the car, he took his daughter and walked towards the school gate.
At the door, Zhang Li was reluctant to let go of Zhang Dingshan's hand. Zhang Dingshan knelt down and looked at his daughter tenderly.
"What's wrong with Xiaoli? Dad said he will be back soon."
Zhang Li lowered her head, twisted the hem of her skirt with one hand, and said dullly: "My mother said the same thing back then. But she never came back."
Zhang Dingshan laughed and touched Zhang Li's head: "This time is different. Dad will be back soon. Go to school quickly, you will be late."
"Okay." Zhang Li lowered his head and walked towards the school gate. After walking for a while, he turned back, clasped his hands in front of his mouth, and shouted in a childish voice: "Dad, don't lie to me. If you lie, you will turn into a puppy!"
Zhang Dingshan smiled and waved his hand, and Zhang Li recovered a little and went to the campus.
Planetary Security Bureau Operations Department Building, Operations Team 2 Office Area. The four of them gathered here again.
When Lu Ming came here, the other three people had already arrived and were chatting casually. Seeing Lu Ming arrive, the three of them stood up at the same time: "Let's go, let's go,
I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go have dinner first, then rest for a night, and then go find Li Chu tomorrow morning. "
The next day, the four of them came to Li Wenhua's office together.
"This is the package this time, codename: Heavenly Book." Li Wenhua handed a file bag to Zhang Dingshan: "The details are all inside."
"Book of Heaven?"
Lu Ming and others looked at each other, feeling a little confused.
To be given the code name "Book of Heaven", this case seems unusual.
Li Wenhua explained some precautions, handling rules, etc. After a while, the four of them returned to the conference room with their file bags.
The file opened and four people watched at the same time.
For a long time, Lu Ming slowly closed the file in front of him, thoughtfully. After a while, the other three people also closed the files.
"Is it a strange dream? I dreamed of a very old piece of paper, which shows the date of birth and death of a certain person, as well as the specific way of death? No wonder the codename of this time is called the Book of Heaven..."
Lu Qingliang murmured. He Wei scratched his hair and seemed a little distressed.
"That's weird. Dreaming about it, hey."
Zhang Dingshan asked: "What do you think?"
Lu Ming said slowly: "I think one thing should be confirmed first about this incident. That is, is this kind of dreaming about other people's birth and death dates and ways of death a prophecy or a prediction?"
The words prophecy and prophecy look very similar. But the meaning is completely different. The first time Lu Ming raised this question, the other three people immediately realized the difference.
Prophecy means predicting what will happen in the future. A preview would indicate what an unknown being will do in the future.
"I'm going to buy an ice cream later." This is the preview.
"At some point in the future, you will buy a sorbet." This is a prophecy.
The three of them looked solemn at the same time. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Dingshan said slowly: "I think it is a prediction, not a prophecy."
"Me too." He Wei also nodded: "Predicting the future is impossible under the current physical rules. Just like the predictions we dealt with back then, they were also confirmed to have appeared due to underlying randomness. deviation."
Even in supernatural events, "prophecy" cannot be truly achieved. This is enough support to make the four members of the second action team think that it is impossible to achieve, or that it is impossible to achieve in the current cognitive environment. And this in itself means that its probability is extremely low.
When searching, of course you have to start from the direction with higher probability. Since the probability of prediction is low, let’s consider it as a prediction first.
"If it's a preview, it means that there is an unknown force behind it, and this force intentionally dominates what happens next."
Lu Ming slowly talked about his speculation. Lu Qingliang interjected: "Is it possible that it is like the word "fate", some kind of destined fate? "
The essence of "predestined fate" is also dominated by a certain power hidden behind it. It might as well be counted as a foretelling rather than a prophecy.
"I think it's unlikely." Lu Ming shook his head: "In fate, the destiny that is destined for the future is quite imprecise. It only determines "bad luck", but not the way to achieve it. At this moment, the time is precise and the events are also very precise. "
"But, maybe the fate this time is very accurate? For example, I made a prediction at this moment, saying that in an hour I will go to the small shop one kilometer outside the headquarters to buy popsicles, and then I will I left as promised, is this an accurate prediction of, uh, fate?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Well, there is indeed a certain possibility. We can also pay more attention to this possibility in the future."
Having said that, Lu Ming still believed that it was unlikely that it was fate. But this is not based on rational analysis, but on experience.
Since joining the Second Action Team, Lu Ming has never encountered two things that are essentially similar. From Zhang Ding
The three people in Shan learned that before they joined, they had basically never encountered them. Based on this experience, it is less likely that the eucalyptus was caused by fate this time.
However, in the process of dealing with supernatural incidents, the most unreliable thing is experience. Maybe this time it breaks the experience?
This is not good to say. Anyway, just pay more attention in the future.
He Wei opened the middle file again and said while flipping through it: "So far, the person involved, um, Hu Shan, including this time he dreamed of himself, has recorded a total of 26 strange dreams. Except for himself, Except for those whose death date has not yet arrived, it has been verified that all 15 people whose death time has arrived have died, and the cause of death is consistent with the dream records.
The local police department has conducted a detailed examination of the notebook and confirmed the detailed date of the writing, confirming that it was before the death.
The local Public Security Bureau also conducted a detailed investigation and proved that Hu Shan had no relationship with the deceased. During this period, Hu Shan has been staying in Dajiang City and has never left. There is no motive, no ability to act, and no social connections. "
"But this Hu Shan is not dead yet. Today is... today is October 5th. The date of his death in Hu Shan's dream is the day after tomorrow, October 8th."
Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly, making the other three people look at him, and then said: "Get ready and leave for Dajiang City. Protect Hushan first and see what will happen on October 8th."
"yes."
The three of them made some preparations each and got on the plane to Dajiang City that afternoon. It's still dark before we arrive.
When they came to the Dajiang City Public Security Bureau, they met with the security officer named Xu Qing who originally discovered the case. After learning more details, the three members of the second operation team designated Xu Qing as their agent. I was my liaison during my work, and then started the follow-up arrangements.
"Hu Shan dreamed that he was stabbed to death by a madman. In this case, then lock Hu Shan in the base and protect him around the clock and see what happens."
Zhang Dingshan contacted the local garrison, requisitioned a military base of the local garrison, and then mobilized a large number of guards to tightly protect the base.
After that, there is a more detailed investigation of hidden dangers. Hidden wiring hazards, building hazards, etc. are all detected and eliminated one by one. After making all preparations, Hu Shan was brought over and placed in a special room.
There is nothing sharp or hard inside this room. Even the walls were covered with soft cladding, making it impossible to hit anyone. There are also several guards keeping close watch 24 hours a day. Here, even if Hu Shan wants to commit suicide, he will not die.
Here, Zhang Dingshan, on behalf of the Second Action Team, met the client Hu Shan for the first time.
Hu Shan in front of him had messy and greasy hair, two big dark circles on his eyes, and a beard growing around his mouth. The whole person looked very haggard.
It was obvious that he hadn't been able to get a good rest during this period of time. The whole person was on the verge of collapse, about to be overwhelmed by the fear of death.
Accompanying him was security captain Xu Qing.
Several powerful guards escorted him to Zhang Dingshan.
"Hu Shan, don't be afraid. This is the senior police chief sent by your superiors to investigate your matter. You feel very big about this matter, and it doesn't even count in front of others. They have seen the big world, what? I’ve never seen this happen before. Just cooperate honestly and that’s it.”
As if to reassure Hu Shan, Xu Qing seemed very relaxed and confident, as if he didn't take Hu Shan's affairs to heart at all.
Seeing Zhang Dingshan, Hu Shan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He quickly came forward and held Zhang Dingshan's hand with both hands, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Comrade, comrade, help me, I don't want to die. My child is still young and my parents are old. If I die, my family will collapse."
Zhang Dingshan smiled and tried to make his voice calm and friendly: "Don't worry, no one can kill you here. But during this period, you have to stay here and receive round-the-clock protection."
protect. You can come to me if you need anything. By the way, if you have that kind of dream again, remember to tell me immediately. "
"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate and I will be honest."
After comforting Hu Shan, he let Hu Shan enter the room.
Several guards who had undergone strict psychological examination and confirmed that there was no abnormality in their mental state also entered.
If the so-called madman comes from within one's own side, for example, if a guard suddenly goes crazy and stabs Hu Shan to death, then the joke will be big. Therefore, those who can come here must first pass a psychological examination. Not only that, they also have to supervise each other to ensure that if anyone has an accident, they can be subdued immediately.
After settling everything, Zhang Dingshan left. Under strict protection, Hu Shan finally had a barely sound sleep.
The day of October 8th arrived quietly.
In the morning, after dinner, Hu Shan turned on his tablet and started video chatting with his wife Cheng Lan.
The second operation team did not prohibit him from contacting the outside world. Moreover, Zhang Dingshan believed that contact with the outside world would help relieve his mental state, so he let it go.
At this time, Hu Shan needs the comfort of his relatives, especially his wife.
"Ah Shan, Teacher Dabao called and said that Dabao got into a fight with someone at school..."
