Chapter 237 Sarcophagus and Noodle Machine(1/2)
Author: Xingyun Luoyanyu
While Lu Ming was deep in thought, He Wei hurried over next to him.
"Lu Ming, emergency. Suspect No. 26 accidentally fell down in the prison and lost half of his teeth. I have checked the surveillance video and can confirm that it was purely accidental and there was no human factor."
Suspect No. 26 is the former senior executive of the Destiny Organization who served as the beneficiary in the previous experiments on the Pregnant Beast Sacrifice.
"Um?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly.
It's not a big deal for a person to knock out half of his teeth in a fall. But when it comes to Suspect No. 26, it's very abnormal.
You know, not long ago, a total of ten thousand pregnant beasts transferred the "fate" of the fetus in their belly to him through the sarcophagus! According to common sense, his luck should be so good,
How could something as unfortunate as falling down and knocking off half a tooth happen?
Or maybe, the original fall would have cost this person his life? Because he had enough good luck, he only lost half of his teeth?
"Has his luck index been calculated?"
After the sacrifice, the daily life of suspect No. 26 has been closely monitored, and his luck has been calculated just like Lin Shen did.
Of course, there are some differences between the situation of suspect No. 26 and Lin Shen. The most important thing is that Lin Shen and the people around Lin Shen do not know the existence of this matter. All their daily lives are natural and not
subject to external interference.
Suspect No. 26 and the people around him had some knowledge of this matter. This means that his daily life will also be subject to some interference, resulting in inaccurate numerical statistics.
But it still has a certain reference value.
"Come out."
He Wei solemnly said: "Taking '5' as the average luck value for ordinary people, with neither good nor bad things, during this period, the average luck index of suspect No. 26 was only 3.9."
"So low?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
The sacrifice of nearly ten thousand pregnant beasts not only failed to bring him good luck, but also made him have bad luck?
If we say that he was originally very unlucky, but with enough luck, he rose to this value - using this set of theories to explain it seems unreasonable.
The reason is very simple. If after the fate of nearly ten thousand beast fetuses, the luck index is only 3.9, then how low must his original luck index be?
Don't forget, if the luck index is as low as 1.0, it means that you are so unlucky that your life may be in danger at any time. Such people will never live long.
According to this logic, the original luck value of Suspect No. 26 before the blessing was absolutely low to a limit, and he would have died suddenly on the spot.
He Wei frowned slightly: "I feel that this value is not very accurate. I have looked through a lot of surveillance footage, and I feel that a considerable number of the incidents that caused his luck value to be low came from man-made actions, from the intentional actions of other suspects.
For that.”
"Intentional?"
Lu Ming was thoughtful.
Apparently, the other suspects were jealous of him.
Everyone is a suspect, organized by fate. But you were chosen to play the role of beneficiary and receive so many blessings of luck - even if this is fake, at worst it can be regarded as a meritorious service. Why do all the good things come to nothing?
On you?
If you are jealous, you will actively trick him intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, his luck value will decrease.
"After weight reduction and recalculation, I think his true luck value should be between 4.5 and 4.8. Well, although it is lower than the average, he can probably be regarded as a normal person. But in any case, his luck is
It’s not good. That’s for sure.”
First of all, one thing is basically certain, that is, the banging sound from the sarcophagus means the success of the sacrifice. This is not only endorsed by the top management of the Destiny Organization and the classics, but also proved by the sacrifice test of one's own pregnant beast.
Only the cubs born from sacrifices and pregnant beasts that make a booming sound will have abnormalities. Otherwise, there will be no abnormalities.
This proves that the functions of these sacrifices in which Suspect No. 26 serves as the beneficiary should be no different from those sacrifices made by the Destiny Organization in which pregnant women were sacrificed.
So, if the luck of Suspect No. 26 has not improved, has the luck of the core members of the Destiny Organization really improved before?
This is probably unlikely.
So from this point of view, could it be that...all the sacrifices made in the past many years, from the Dali culture in ancient times to the Destiny Organization...were all in vain?
The God of Destiny deprived the unborn child of his luck, but did not give it to the beneficiary?
So many sacrifices are actually only harming others and not benefiting oneself?
Lu Ming made this guess based on existing information. However, the final result still has to wait for the data from Zhang Dingshan to come out.
In the afternoon, Zhang Dingshan, who was responsible for investigating the luck values of the core members of the Destiny Organization in the past, finally returned. After notifying Lu Qingliang, the four of them gathered in the video conference room again.
"The result of my investigation is that the average luck value of those core members of the Destiny Organization in the past five years is 4.85.
Data within five years is easier to collect and investigate, and the credibility is higher. Data over five years are less and less reliable, so I discarded them all. However, there are some data from the past five years.
The data, I think, is enough to illustrate the problem.”
As expected. Lu Ming nodded slowly.
The value of 4.85 is slightly lower than the average, but still within the normal range.
The combination of the two is enough to prove that this sarcophagus actually only has the ability to deprive luck, but does not have the ability to transfer or bestow luck at all.
Lu Qingliang was a little confused.
"Captain, I noticed that the assets of the core members of the Destiny Organization have increased by more than 100% in the past five years. Moreover, these people are all cunning and cunning people. Without real benefits, it is unlikely that they can maintain such a level.
Long-term 'loyalty' to the fate organization. In other words, they believe that their luck has indeed improved. But why is the value so low?"
"I feel like my luck has gotten better" and "all assets have increased by more than 100% in the past five years." Doesn't this count as good luck? Why is the luck value not even below the average?
Zhang Dingshan said: "This is indeed the reality. I also noticed these two things during the investigation. But..."
He shook his head: "This is not because luck has gotten better at all. It is because the Destiny Organization has assumed the responsibilities of 'trust endorsement' and 'communication and coordination' to a certain extent among the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen."
Lu Qingliang suddenly realized: "That's it."
A group of wealthy businessmen who did not know each other came together because of the fate organization, and they had mechanisms and channels for communication and coordination. And because they participated in sacrifices together, they had a basis of trust between them. As a result, each other
Business will be easier to run, and many things will be easier to handle if different resources cooperate with each other.
This is why one feels that one's luck has improved, and one's assets have increased significantly, especially the latter, which in turn will increase the perception that one's own luck has improved.
But in the objective, cold and accurate statistical statistics of luck, this layer of illusion is stripped away. The fact is that the luck of the core members of this group of wealthy businessmen has been worse than that of ordinary people during the past period.
"Okay." Lu Ming said solemnly: "At this stage, based on the existing information, we can make a more accurate description of this sarcophagus.
That is, if a pregnant woman or a pregnant beast is treated through certain procedures, this sarcophagus can make the fetus born by a pregnant woman or a pregnant beast have bad luck."
Lu Ming deleted descriptions such as "luck transfer" and "making people's luck better" because the existing evidence has proven that it does not exist at all.
"In this, 'certain processing procedures' are the cause. This sarcophagus is the core element, and 'bad luck' is the result."
After being told by Lu Ming like this, a thing that was originally full of weirdness and magic turned out to be like an ordinary factory, and the logic of the matter immediately became clear and simple.
For example, a simple machine that can process noodles. For it, people put the flour through a certain processing procedure - this is the reason - and then hand it over to the core element, which is the machine, for processing, and then noodles can be produced.
——This is the fruit.
Cause - processing - effect.
The logical chain is so simple and clear. From this point of view, this sarcophagus is actually no different from a noodle machine. At most, the raw materials and working mechanism of the "machinery" of the sarcophagus are more special.
With this logical chain, the direction of subsequent investigation is clear.
Just find out the specific working mechanism of this sarcophagus.
Everyone was immersed in thinking, chewing over and over the few elements summarized from previous experiments.
Moonlight, six-pointed star, coma, kicking on the ground, in front of the sarcophagus.
If these five prerequisites are met, the "machine" of the sarcophagus can complete the processing.
However, these five preconditions do not have any special significance. Why do we do this? What impact will this have? Why these five?
They are obviously completely unrelated things, and have nothing to do with luck no matter how you look at them.
Lu Ming thought for a long time and then said in deep thought: "I feel that the situation at this moment is somewhat similar to the 'haunted house' case that we have investigated before."
In that case, how the dragon-suppressing pile trapped the building god once caused a lot of headaches for several people in the second operation team. Because the so-called dragon-suppressing pile, and the physical level of trapping the building god, it seems that
It's also a completely unrelated matter.
Of course, it was later found out that the dragon-suppressing pile did not actually trap the building god, but protected the building god. So, will the situation now be similar to that time? Maybe these five prerequisites that I think are,
In fact, the role it plays in the entire logic is not the role of precondition, but has another meaning?
"Follow-up investigations may be more focused in this direction."
No matter where you look at it, Lu Ming's judgment is very logical and reasonable. But Zhang Dingshan shook his head.
"Lu Ming, you have to remember that when investigating supernatural events, you should never form path dependence and don't be affected by past successful experiences. Experience, for us, is sometimes not a good thing."
Lu Ming was shocked and reacted immediately.
Supernatural events are ever-changing and anything is possible. They are different from ordinary events in that there are no rules or the like. The experience of handling the last event may be completely wrong in this event. Because of this
