"...when the two moons meet...a shower of golden stars..."
"...Wherever giant objects pass by, there must be traces..."
Lu Ping'an put down the pen in his hand. The promotion of the scholar's position made his analysis of the Silver Secret Code much faster.
At the same time, the newly analyzed intelligence also gave him some understanding of the focus of his recent work.
"Interrogating the doctors in the hospital? Could it be that there is some kind of perverted murderer, Meow?" During the small meeting, Maomao said casually, making the scene very subtle.
It's not because she's talking nonsense, but her childish words just reveal the truth.
From the information, Lu Ping'an almost clarified the general process and principles of the "historical reappearance" ceremony.
God-level beings themselves are super sources of pollution. Even if their actions are deliberately hidden, they will still leave traces in this world.
The reappearance of history must be centered on a certain god level, and it is also because of this principle... As a "source of shock" that causes "aftershocks", only god level or above can be significant.
Lu Ping'an has not yet analyzed the specific ritual procedures and spell casting requirements. He doubts that there is any in this thin book, otherwise it would not be regarded as just silver-level taboo knowledge.
This booklet is more like a simple user manual and instructions, stripping away the important ritual principles and specific procedures, and is not enough to hold a ceremony.
But the key points of several rituals have been analyzed.
First, imitate the past of that "god" and start this series of rituals from her trajectory... To put it bluntly, the performer of the ritual must repeat what the god has done before.
It's a product of similar principles, if it's a hospital lurker, then the ritual performer is going to do the same thing.
Obviously, this is the reason why special service teams have been working overtime in various hospitals recently.
They suspected that the other party had "replaced" a certain doctor and started to perform the prefix part of the ceremony, allowing the person conducting the ceremony to gain "qualifications."
Spiritual vision is meaningless for 'replacement', but it is useful for low-level face-changing abilities.
During the investigation so far, several doctors/cultists/murderers have been found... In a sense, the hospital is a disaster area where some bastards who need sacrifices and experimental products lurk.
But unfortunately, the specific cultist who was the primary target has still not been found.
"The search is not meaningless. We can indirectly reduce the scope of his actions through the number of missing people. Moreover, as long as it affects the speed at which he obtains sacrifices, it is possible to stop his ritual. At least, reduce the effect of his ritual."
In private communication, Xia Qin also talked about the recent progress.
Several large hospitals in the city have been cleaned up once. The hospital search has reached the second stage. It has reached the indirect search level of looking at the number of recent deaths and missing people. Certain doctors who have continuously caused the deaths of patients will be focused on the search.
But Lu Ping An is still not optimistic about the so-called "indirect search"...
"Those lurkers have something evil in mind, so they must work extra hard to treat patients. At least the few 'sacrifice/experiment collectors' we have found so far have a much higher cure rate than ordinary doctors, and their sacrifices
Most of the patients are not their own patients..." Reality is often more nonsense than speculation. Doctors with supernatural abilities are more serious, and their cure rate is actually higher than that of ordinary doctors.
Should we start looking for those "excellent" doctors? Lu Ping'an felt that the clues had been cut off, and there was basically no solution.
However, no target was found in the search, and in fact, the most likely result was vaguely obtained - the lurker is a sixth-level or above doctor who can use "replacement".
Another level is the ritual time analyzed from it.
Although Lu Ping'an analyzed the words involved in the specific star positions, he basically couldn't understand them.
Big Cat read it carefully for a while, and then found that the star coordinates given in this book were not complete, and it was impossible to deduce the most suitable ritual time based on the ritual requirements.
But one thing is certain, and that also indirectly determines the approximate time of the ceremony.
"This ceremony will use the power of the 'Moon Shadow', and it will mostly use the moon as the main coordinate. So, it should be the same day one month after 'that day', or further down..."
The first month of that case has just passed, and Lu Ping'an doesn't think the other party has the patience to wait until the third month, which means that day next month...
"...July 7, 1998, 24 days left."
"What cannot be calculated in this way is the moon coordinates, which are not fixed values based on the calendar. In other words, July 4 to July 10 are possible. You need the help of astronomical knowledge to determine the specific day."
Lu Ping'an didn't find an expert. He asked Xia Qin directly and got the subtle answer of 2 a.m. on July 8.
If there are no accidents, there are still twenty days... But Lu Ping'an doesn't think there will be no accidents.
The rest of the team went to the hospital for two days and then came back with nothing. They searched like a dragnet and only caught some unexpected small fish...the kind of petty thieves.
Lu Ping'an found an excuse to escape, and the reason he spoke out was a rare truth.
"I don't like hospitals. The smell makes me sick." Although this reason for asking for leave is a bit exaggerated, since the captain Xia Qin is willing to accept it, it can be used.
But in fact, there is a deeper reason.
As the awakener of the ritual, as the "re-enactor" of the god's trajectory, any lurker must carry the crystal of Kris-chan's divine power, the remaining icon.
Once Lu Pingan went to the hospital, the statue's resonance was once again aroused. Considering that he might be a boss of level six or seven, Lu Pingan didn't think he could escape the other party's pursuit.
Feeling helpless, he even took the initiative to avoid the hospital.
By the way, he met with a certain senior brother of a certain Miss Lululu, and then signed a short-term agreement.
This time, even as a buff supplier, he did not accept any money... After all, he needed this second-level graduate student to seize the time to improve his "grafting" ability.
By the way, Miss Lululu's buff was broken due to the appearance of the new gardener Likcai... When she found out, her expression was quite subtle.
You know, she used "Haha, you don't have a buff, right?", which was used several times in front of her good sisters who were also eager to get a buff.
Senior Brother Guan's buff has never been cut off, and Lu Ping'an's last buff spot was still given to Maomao.
This time, it’s not just for the safety of myself...
"Lei Shuiyun has a low foundation and little experience, but from another perspective, it is easy for her to improve even if she is not good at everything. As long as she is properly arranged and she works hard enough, 20 days will be enough for her to make a qualitative change."
As time goes by, the process in the ceremony becomes clearer and clearer.
This is a spell that deduces the "present" from the "past" and "future".
The past is the trajectory of the gods and the qualifications of the ritual performers, and the "future" is the "result", the result of that historical event.
"Damn it, those coffins and relics have already fallen into the hands of the other party." Those things were also part of the "result" and naturally became an important component of the sacrifice.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the relics of the third special service team are lost, but not those of the other two victim teams... The seventh team is almost completely wiped out, and the organization will be canceled in the short term. No one is suitable to collect the relics.
Every relic and every result is a coordinate in cause and effect and time.
If you want to "replay history" completely, the more coordinates like this, the better.
It is said that... Xia Qin vaguely revealed that the special service team used those relics as bait and did a round, but they went directly to the air force, and the opponent did not take the bait at all.
Is it because the opponent has no inside line in the special team and has no bite? Or is it because the inside line is too high and has been seen through? Lu Pingan feels that it is probably the latter.
"The existence of sophists makes us very passive."
A former quasi-captain who has come into contact with too many people and secrets poses too great a threat to the special service team.
In the past week, he didn't show up even once. Maybe he was scared by the last ambush, or maybe he was preparing for a big one.
On another level, the ascension ceremony actually has a more important "result".
"Of those victims, did any of them refuse supervision?"
"Well, they are also veterans. They knew what happened when we were halfway through talking. They don't trust our confidentiality and protection capabilities... To be honest, I don't believe it myself."
Those "old retirees" and "injured retirees" are also the result of the ceremony, and they are the best sacrifices, but most of them no longer trust the special service team, especially when the "sophists" pretend to claim
After the news of the relic was leaked.
The existence of the Sophist has always been a poisonous sting to the intelligence system within the special service team, especially after it was discovered that he actually had the ability to "change faces."
In the past few days, even Lu Ping'an himself has been subjected to several rounds of surprise inspections including X-rays. Judging from the results, it is quite subtle...
"What? Team 5 found a lurker with a changed face, but we are not allowed to catch him?"
"Well, it was a commercial spy sent by a certain company. He ran away immediately. Our legal department is dealing with their lawyers..."
When he heard the news, Lu Pingan's expression was probably very embarrassing.
You've been penetrated everywhere like that, so it's no wonder those victims don't trust you... They are also one of you, so they naturally know what kind of specific virtue it is.
The rapid expansion and recruitment of special service teams in recent years has also created many hidden dangers.
Lu Ping'an himself ran to see a 28-year-old "retired man". He saw the white-haired young man lying numbly on the chair, watching the TV news, no one looked up, Lu Ping'an.
Ping An subtly stopped the Big Cat drama for two days.
The thing about handling a case is that there are multiple lines of work. Where there is the best chance of success, continue to dig deeper. When most of the clues are cut off, as time goes by, someone becomes anxious first.
"The special service team plans to do another round. This time, they will send two retired colleagues out of the city. We don't believe that they still won't jump out..." When this decision comes, it also means that Lu Ping'an cannot
Fishing.
The Third Special Service Team was also among the escorting convoy.
