Paranormal incident investigation notes

Originally, Lu Ming thought that he would soon be able to see with his own eyes what his "predecessors" were like at the place where they were sacrificed to the mountain god by those evil people who tried to get some benefits from the mountain god. However, Zhang Dingshan arranged for him to stay. Here at the general command center, he was not allowed to go to the scene.

"Before we can prepare anything, we must be prepared for the possibility of something unexpected happening."

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained calm, but his tone was unquestionable.

"As the only one among us with the Hag.1 gene, you are not suitable to go near that place at this time."

Lu Ming thought for a while and finally agreed.

"Don't worry, Lu Ming, there will be a live broadcast. You can see everything here in the command center."

At the last moment, it was He Wei's words that comforted Lu Ming.

Except for Lu Ming and Huang Weimin, the group left in a hurry. The two of them sat in front of a screen in the command center and watched the scene through the lens.

Relevant records told Lu Ming that the discovery process of the mountain god's sacrificial place was actually full of chance.

When the search area was initially designated, according to ancient records, the area where the mountain god's worship place was most likely to be found was designated as the first search area. Beyond that are the second and third search areas.

The further outskirts you go, the less likely you are to find a place where mountain gods worship. Correspondingly, less search effort is invested.

Under such circumstances, a certain search team encountered a valley while searching the third search area. The edge of the area demarcation happens to be in this valley.

So the search team came to the bottom of the valley. At this time, it happened to be rest time. In order to find a suitable place to rest, the team left the edge of the third search area and came to a place further outside. So by chance - or luck, I happened to find this cave entrance.

After entering the exploration and discovering more abnormal signs, the team decisively exited and called for support. Finally, after the follow-up support personnel arrived, they found key evidence that this was the place where the mountain god worshiped.

"After all, the search range was defined based on the information in ancient books. Over the years, the landform will change and errors will occur. It is normal for the target to be found outside the third search area."

In this regard, Huang Weimin gave his own thoughts.

Lu Ming had to admit that what Huang Weimin said made sense.

In any case, it would be a good thing as long as this place can be finally found and the investigation can be moved forward.

At this moment, in the camera, after the initial survey, more people began to move towards the inside of the cave.

The plants that covered the cave have been cleared away, and the cave entrance is clearly exposed to the sun.

There is water seeping out from the entrance of the cave, but the water is not strong and only flows slowly down the rocks.

This seems to indicate that the cave was formed by flowing water. In ancient times, there may have been a lot of water flowing out of this cave and washing out the cave over a long period of time. But now, also over a long period of time, geological and environmental changes have reduced it. The water source can only slowly seep out like it is now.

The inside of the cave is filled with a damp and dark atmosphere. Under the strong light, the cave walls were covered with traces of water vapor. Even through the screen, Lu Ming seemed to smell the smell of decay.

This cave is not too big. The widest place can only accommodate three people walking side by side, and the narrowest place can only accommodate one person passing sideways. Except for the running water channels on the ground, there was something black and mud-like next to it. I didn't know whether it was bird droppings or humus.

On the screen, a group of people were on full alert, stepping on the "mud" and moving forward slowly.

The cave is upward as a whole, and the interior is not straight, but full of curves. Even a strong flashlight can only illuminate a distance of a few meters, and the corners are still deep and dark, like leading to hell.

Lu Ming originally thought that this cave would be very deep and long, but it turned out that it was not too big.

In the footage, a group of people arrived at the end of the cave after only going a few dozen meters deep.

To say it is the end point is actually not quite correct. Because even at the end, there is still a winding passage extending deeper into the mountain. But this passage is too narrow. Small animals such as cats and dogs can still pass through, but it is absolutely impossible for humans.

Compared with the narrow entrance, this place is unexpectedly wider, with a height of more than two meters, the ground is relatively flat, and the area is about ten square meters, like a small house.

The camera first scanned the area around this "little house", and then Lu Ming saw the dark and moist mountain rocks that were no different from other places. When the camera was pointed forward, Lu Ming's body suddenly tensed up.

He once again saw the figure of the strange mountain god with a big head, a small body and thick hair.

This time, the image of the mountain god is shown through stone sculptures. Moreover, the carving does not seem to be fine, and the carvings are very rough in some places. But looking at it as a whole - especially in terms of temperament and demeanor, this mountain god statue is exactly the same as the image of the mountain god in Lu Ming's memory.

In the lens, it smiled strangely, and its sight seemed to penetrate the limitations of the lens and the screen, directly injecting it into Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's body was tense and his expression was solemn.

The camera continued to move and came under the mountain god. Here, Lu Ming saw a "platform" about ten centimeters above the ground, about 40 centimeters wide and about 160 centimeters long, like a stone bed.

The stone bed is not flat, the surface is full of pits, and it seems that the carving is still rough. But the overall appearance of the stone platform can still be seen.

If, if there is a statue of the mountain god in front of it, then this stone platform here should probably be an altar for worshiping the mountain god.

At this moment, Lu Ming seemed to have thoughts in his mind about hundreds of years ago, when the poor boy kidnapped his companions, the villagers who kidnapped him, the stolen children, and the "human beings" that the Tang family kept in captivity. "Sacrifice" is forcibly placed on this altar, praying to the mountain god for blessings.

Maybe, maybe, if it hadn't been for that accident, if my fate was the same as that of those missing, would my fate also be the same, being forcibly placed on such an altar by people from Organization X...

Lu Ming shuddered.

The camera retreats to the entrance of this "little house". So Lu Ming saw some people wearing full-body protective suits carrying various unknown instruments and equipment. In this small house, they began to perform various operations on the altar, the mountain god statue, and the walls. examine.

Next to the stone platform, Lu Ming saw something that looked like wood. But the thing was almost completely decayed and seemed ready to shatter at the slightest touch. Lu Ming saw several people carefully pick it up and put it in the bag.

On the stone platform, someone was also holding a cotton swab, wiping it everywhere, and then putting the cotton swab into a sealed bag. Others took the equipment and searched carefully around the walls and corners of the cave. From time to time, they took out something with tweezers and carefully put it in a bag and sealed it.

Next to him, there was a figure who was also wearing a full-body protective suit, but it was obvious that he was on guard and holding a heavy firearm in his hand.

Lu Ming had no doubt that if there was any movement in this small house at this moment, those weapons would immediately spray out powerful bullets.

And the people in the shot are likely to be just a small part of the force that ensures the safety of this trip. Based on Lu Ming's understanding of Zhang Dingshan, there must be more people outside the cave on alert at any time, ready for any unexpected occurrence.

The camera is always filming. It took several hours for people to evacuate in an orderly manner. But some equipment is still left here.

At night, Lu Ming saw Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Some inspection and analysis results have come out."

Zhang Dingshan showed some documents to Lu Ming: "We found residues of grease and cloth fibers at one end of the wood, which is at least 200 years old. Comprehensive analysis shows that this should be a torch made by ancient people.

Next to the stone platform, the remains of burned plant ashes and some special minerals were detected in the specimens. After comprehensive analysis, experts believe that this should be incense ash. In addition, we also detected some animal fats, some residues after rotten apples, and the like.

The animal fat may have been leftover from sacrifices, such as pig heads. The same should be true for melon and fruit residues.

In addition, trace amounts of fiber residues were also detected at the corners of the cave, which should have been scraped off by the rocks when the ancients passed through here.

All this shows that hundreds of years ago, ancient people performed sacrificial activities here. Combining the terrain, historical change data of surrounding villages, etc., we have enough reasons to think that this is the place we are looking for. "

For a moment, Lu Ming was slightly in a trance.

Hundreds of years ago, the poor boy in the ancient book came here. People from the dominant Tang family have been here. Even early members of Organization X may have been here.

Now, it's the turn of investigators belonging to the World Government to come here.

"So...what should we do next?"

Lu Ming murmured: "Sacrifice, sacrifice... It seems that the way to offer sacrifices to the mountain god is to place people with the Hag.1 gene on the altar?"

"This should be."

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Our researchers have determined that this cave is completely natural. We have not found anything in it that we cannot understand and belongs to the category of 'supernatural power'. But if a sacrifice is held, That’s how it should be.”

Of course, even if it is determined that it is just a naturally formed cave and there is nothing weird, it does not mean that accidents will not happen during the sacrifice.

After all, the existence of mountain gods may be beyond human understanding. There may indeed be some weirdness there, but it cannot be discovered with the current level of human technology.

This is the most important reason why the mountain god must be lured out by sacrificing Lu Ming.

Lu Ming stood up.

"Then let me try it."

Two updates have been completed. Please give me some recommendation votes and monthly votes. The data is too miserable...
