Facing Zhang Dingshan's inquiry, everyone fell silent again at this moment.

Everyone is struggling in their hearts, hesitating, and weighing the pros and cons repeatedly.

The various uncertain risks that Lou Shen may face after escalating the conflict, other unknown means that Lou Shen may have, the possible counterattacks that Lou Shen may make after feeling threatened, and the possible desperate measures...

There are no definite answers to these questions. Moreover, it is impossible to have a definite answer until enough information is obtained. This means that the members of the second action team can only make subjective judgments.

Be able to rely on your own logic and decision-making to make this judgment.

After a long silence, He Wei raised her hand.

"I agree."

Lu Qingliang said the same: "I agree."

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"And you?"

Lu Ming pondered for a long time before saying: "I just had a new idea. I feel that maybe we can try other methods first. If it still doesn't work, then escalate the conflict."

"oh?"

"Try to appease Lou Shen."

Lu Ming raised his head, faced the surprised looks of his teammates, and repeated his plan: "If Wu Xiuzhu could appease the God of the Tower and make him not rush to break the formation, why can't we?"

This plan was really beyond the expectations of He Wei and others. However, this plan was unexpected and almost instinctively met with opposition from several people.

"The most critical issue is that Wu Xiuzhu and Wu Qingfu have died a long time ago. God knows what method they used to contact the God of the Tower. If they can't get in touch with the God of the Tower, how can they be comforted?"

"Now that time is urgent, I don't feel it is necessary. We don't have that much time to find ways to contact us."

"This is too fanciful and I don't think it's feasible."

At this stage, even the existence of wisdom from the Tower God, and the fact that the Tower God acted as the mastermind behind commanding the fungi to destroy the dragon-suppressing pile formation, are only speculations. Now, we are going to try to obtain it directly from the Tower God.

connect?

Besides whimsical, He Wei didn't know what other words she could use to describe it.

Lu Ming raised his hand and pressed it down, silencing the objections of He Wei and Lu Qingliang, and explained: "Actually, I think that the method of contacting the Lou Shen may not be troublesome or easy.

Difficulty. Maybe we should change our thinking and think like this: If even a middle-aged woman like Wu Xiuzhu, who is in poverty and embarrassment, can master the method of contacting the building god, how difficult can this method be?

Combined with some of the information we have about Wu Xiuzhu, we can confirm that although Wu Xiuzhu has never shown a clear religious tendency, she has engaged in many religious sacrificial behaviors. We have reason to believe that what she performed

The religious sacrificial behavior is related to the contact with the building god.

Moreover, Wu Xiuzhu did not know the existence form of the Lou Shen in detail at the beginning. She regarded the Lou Shen as a kind of existence in the form of a god - this point can be seen from the name she gave to this unknown intelligent body in the Binhai Building.

The 'Lower God' can also be seen. Then, we can almost conclude that Wu Xiuzhu's method of getting in touch with the Tower God must be a way of communicating with gods in the traditional culture in the usual sense.

So, what is the usual way of communicating with gods?"

After Lu Ming analyzed this, He Wei immediately had the answer in his mind.

I don’t know how many books have recorded this way of communicating with gods. In folk customs and traditional culture, there are also many witches, gods and men who practice this way of communication.

The key points are nothing more than fasting and bathing, washing hands and purifying the body, being respectful and pious, and concentrating one's energy to pray wholeheartedly. Of course, some sacrifices may also be added.

He Wei had to admit that Lu Ming's analysis made some sense. What was originally thought to be impossible to do without a single stroke of horoscope, now seemed not that difficult.

After all, considering Wu Xiuzhu's situation at the time and her personal world view, besides this method, what other method could she adopt to communicate with the God of the Tower?

"Then, do you want to fast and bathe first, and then try to communicate with the God of the Tower by worshiping the God?" He Wei muttered, "I'm afraid there isn't enough time."

Lu Ming shook his head again: "In my opinion, the so-called fasting, bathing, washing hands and purifying the body are actually just ritualistic things to allow oneself to be calm and focused. Meditation and concentration are the best

Main thing, the rest is not important.

Therefore, this attempt will not actually take long. We can definitely do it now. If we succeed in appeasing Lou Shen, it will be great. If we fail to appease him, or simply cannot communicate, then we can still carry out the original plan when we come back.

plan."

Zhang Dingshan finally made a decision: "In that case, let's give it a try. However, how to communicate needs to be determined in advance."

"There is a negotiator in our logistics support team. I will contact him and ask him to give us some advice."

Regarding the details of the murderous house case, of course, the negotiator cannot be disclosed to him at this moment because the confidentiality level is not high enough. But this will not prevent the negotiator from contributing his wisdom to this incident.

All that is needed is some packaging for this event.

Less than ten minutes after Lu Qingliang went offline, he came online again. Moreover, another middle-aged man who looked very capable and had thin lips also joined the virtual conference room.

"Chief Tan, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"It doesn't matter, it's all for work."

The negotiator known as Section Chief Tan said very friendly: "What is the specific matter?"

"We hope that through communication, we can make an enemy give up doing a very harmful thing. Well, the other methods may not be very effective. It would be best if it can be solved through negotiation."

Chief Tan nodded: "Understood. So, can you tell me the enemy's detailed information? I need to analyze him to determine the plan. And, what are our advantages and reliance? In what ways can we cause damage to the enemy?

What level of threats and restrictions does it have? What are the enemy's advantages and reliance on us? What are the troublesome aspects of it for us?"

Zhang Dingshan pondered: "We don't understand the enemy at all, but we can probably compare it to an alien. He may not have the morals and values ​​of us normal people, and his logic of behavior is also different from us normal people."

"A psychotic criminal? This is really not easy to deal with."

Chief Tan commented on this.

"Our advantage and reliance is that he is currently restricted by us, but we are not sure how long this restriction can last.

If we make a desperate move, we can completely eliminate it at a high cost. But the cost is too high, and we don't want to get to that point.

Enemy, we currently have no good way to prevent him from doing that extremely harmful thing. There are some hypothetical methods that may be effective, but they are not sure. At the same time, if we use those hypothetical methods, it will be very unlikely.

It may anger the enemy, causing him to make a desperate move and respond more violently.

Overall, that’s probably it.”

Chief Tan pondered for about ten minutes. During this process, Lu Ming and others waited quietly without any urging.

After that, Section Chief Tan rubbed his forehead and said slowly: "I don't have a grasp of the specific situation, and I don't feel good enough to make a specific judgment.

But there is actually a principle for negotiation. You must know that negotiation is actually the art of compromise. Under the premise that both parties are in conflict, each side should take a step back, seek common ground while reserving differences as much as possible, and use smaller means to resolve conflicts.

Loss of profits and avoid expected greater loss of profits.

Specifically, during negotiations, you should first clarify which interests your side must ensure and draw red lines first.

Above the red line, look at things separately, distinguish what can be exchanged with the other party, and what the price will be if exchanged. Prioritize and clarify which benefits should be ensured first.

We can also set up some fake chips, that is, these chips we don’t care about originally, or even do not exist at all, they are made out of nothing, but during the negotiation, we can also throw them out to win other aspects for ourselves.

Benefit.

Overall, negotiation is also a very complicated matter, and I can’t explain it to you in detail or clearly. This is a science that requires special study. Well, yes, it is science.”

Lu Ming felt a little headache. He felt that he seemed to have thought of negotiations too simply before. Now it seems that this kind of thing should be done by professionals.

"Captain, I think that Chief Tan should be specifically responsible for this kind of thing."

Operation Team Two has the right to apply to their superiors. After completing some formalities and going through some procedures, Chief Tan's confidentiality level can be temporarily raised, giving him the authority to know all the information on the case.

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment and said to Chief Tan: "Tan Ke, it's like this. We hope that you can carry out the specific negotiations. However, this matter may involve certain risks, even life-threatening. The degree of danger is,

If we measure it, it might be around 1%. It’s up to you whether you want to participate or not.”

At present, only the 1% figure can be told to Chief Tan. If he thinks about it and thinks that the risk is acceptable, Zhang Dingshan will tell him more details of the case. Of course, at that time,

He is not allowed to withdraw.

A look of struggle appeared on Chief Tan's face. After a long time, he took a deep breath and nodded: "I took it."

"Okay. Qing Liang, you go and go through the formalities. It will be done within half an hour. Tan Ke, you can leave for Yangyuan City immediately. After Qing Liang has completed the formalities, I will immediately send you the details of the case.

.You have to read it as quickly as possible and formulate a negotiation plan. When you arrive, negotiate immediately."
