Chapter 358 Profound Skills

(There was a small BUG at the end of the previous chapter. The cursed deceased was the only son of two families, not a son and a daughter. This has been corrected)

Among these two families, there are four members in family No. 546, namely the deceased’s parents and the deceased’s older sister and younger sister.

There are five people in the family No. 559, namely the deceased’s parents, wife and two children.

Although the deceased in Family No. 559 was cursed by Wang Quan and had been dead for many years, his wife did not remarry and still stayed in this family, raising two children who were thirteen or fourteen years old, until now.

At this moment, two families, totaling nine people, were all summoned to the conference room of the base. Lu Ming stepped forward and announced to them the content and details of this "sociological experiment" on behalf of the second action team.

"Thank you for your support of our experiments."

Lu Ming had a smile on his face and secretly observed them while telling the story.

He saw that in Family No. 546, the deceased's mother, the old lady, was thinner, had thin lips, and looked a bit shrewd and mean. The old man had a dark, honest face, and an honest and courteous look.

The two daughters were dressed as ordinary employees, with nothing special about them.

Family No. 559 seems to be very happy and harmonious. The old couple seemed reasonable, the daughter-in-law seemed very virtuous, and the children seemed well-behaved.

This may be the reason why the wife still wants to stay in the family and does not remarry after her husband dies.

"I can't tell you the specific purpose of this experiment. What I can tell you is what you need to do. Here, everyone will still have a job, and you can earn points through work, and the points can be used to buy daily necessities or life purchases. Entertainment facilities. The entire experiment lasts for one month. After one month, the remaining points can be exchanged for a corresponding proportion of human coins. Yes, in addition to the original guaranteed remuneration, the points can also be exchanged for additional remuneration..."

Lu Ming described the contents of the experiment.

Of course, he knew very well that it didn't matter, it was just an excuse to make these two families believe it.

In Family No. 546, the old lady who seemed to be more shrewd and mean curled her lips with some disdain: "Isn't it just playing house? Old man, please listen carefully, work hard, and earn more points."

In Family No. 559, the deceased’s wife was slightly worried: “What about the children’s education?”

Lu Ming said: "We also have a school here. We have specially invited special teachers to teach. However, you also need to pay corresponding points to go to school. How to choose depends on yourself."

The deceased’s wife breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s good to have a teacher.”

After the communication was completed, the two families were taken away to rest.

As soon as the old lady of Family No. 546 came to the courtyard arranged for her to live, she complained: "This is a place for people to live? It's so messy, can you live there? Are you a staff member? Ask your leaders to come and change it for us." place!"

The old lady made a fuss, while the old man kept his head silent. The two daughters tried to persuade her for a long time but to no avail. Lu Ming did not coddle her and said coldly: "If you are not satisfied, you can apply to withdraw from this experiment."

"What's your attitude? I'm suing you!"

Lu Ming shrugged: "Please do so."

The old lady changed the topic and suddenly became bitter: "Young man, I'm not telling you, you will suffer from this attitude. I am over seventy, and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. , if you don’t listen to the old man, you will suffer a lot... This yard is really unlivable. How about you apply for more subsidies? See, I have considered you enough, right? Young man, let me tell you , There are not many people who are as easy to talk to as me these days..."

Lu Ming ignored her and turned around and left.

Sensing Lu Ming's disdain, the old lady flew into a rage, and all her anger could only be directed at her own family. Not only did she scold the old man bloody, but she also scolded her two daughters.

"You have to let me worry about everything. What else can you do? Why didn't you help me just now? Didn't I think about this family? If it were you, this family would have been broken up a long time ago! Ouch, my back hurts …”

The old man remained silent, as if he was used to it. The two daughters even had red eyes.

The old lady was like a commander, scolding and cursing, while directing her three subordinates to tidy up the yard. She unceremoniously checked into the largest and middle room, and went to rest on her own.

The two daughters washed themselves with red eyes and finally went to rest.

The next day, the specific "work" was assigned.

There are a total of several positions available for the sociological experiment planned this time, including dozens of positions such as restaurant cooks, cleaners, ceramic workers, bricklayers, drivers, etc. Each has different remuneration according to the type of work.

Among them, the diggers with the highest pay are the hardest and most tiring. If you choose this job, you not only have to live on the "construction site" and cannot live with your family, but sometimes you have to work night shifts. Digging is done purely manually with shovels, which is very tiring, but you can also earn the most points.

As soon as the old lady from the No. 546 family saw the digger's points, her eyes immediately lit up. She immediately stood up and shouted: "My old man did this digger's job! My old man is very strong and has a great body. He will definitely be able to do it." competent."

While shouting, the old lady glanced at family No. 559 like a demonstrator, as if to intimidate them not to compete with her.

The old man remained silent, as if he would accept whatever the old lady arranged. Family No. 559 had no intention of competing.

The two daughters felt a little sorry for their father, so they whispered to their mother: "Mom, you are a digger. Sometimes you have to work night shifts. Dad's body can't bear it. Let's change his job."

The old lady said nonchalantly: "What do you know? You are usually not at home and have never seen each other. I take care of your dad all day long, how can I know?"

One daughter whispered in a low voice: "Why do you take care of my dad? My dad does all the laundry, cooking and dishes. You only know how to play mahjong..."

The old lady immediately exploded: "I only know how to play mahjong? Do you still have any conscience? Is there anything at home and outside that I don't have to worry about? I've been busy all day long, and I'm so tired that I've had a heart attack. You little kid You beast, you are unfilial, oh, you are so angry at me, my heart aches..."

The old lady wiped away her tears, and the two daughters were so panicked that they immediately surrendered and kept admitting their mistakes and begging for mercy.

Lu Ming banged the table: "Are you having a heart attack? If you have a heart attack, you cannot participate in this trial!"

The old lady immediately sat upright and said hurriedly: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I've been fine for a long time, I'm fine..."

The two families discussed and each chose their own type of work.

The old man of family No. 546 was undoubtedly assigned by the old lady to do the digging. Unsurprisingly, she chose the easiest handiwork that could be done at home, and it was piece-rate, so it didn't matter if she did more or less.

She assigned one of her two daughters to work as a cook in the restaurant and the other as a cleaner. One thing these two types of work have in common is that they are relatively close to "home" and can easily come back to take care of her at any time.

Family No. 559 each chose a job that was not too tiring.

Subsequent "sociological experiments" followed this model. The two families settled down in the base, accepting the strictest security provided by the Second Action Team.

There are dense surveillance cameras in the base. At any time and at any time, each person in the two families is guarded by more than three guards, who can rescue them at any time. Anything that comes close to them will be checked again and again to make sure it doesn't pose any threat.

All news from the outside world is cut off, and the possibility of outside news affecting their psychology is strictly eliminated.

Under the protection of this intensity and this mode, Lu Ming was convinced that unless there was a specially designed accident like the one in "Death is Coming", no other dangers would be able to affect them.

When the experiment first started, Lu Ming's heart was still tense. But time passed by calmly. Gradually, Lu Ming gradually relaxed, but he was still cautious in his actions and did not dare to relax at all.

So far, the last month of this 12-year period has passed halfway. The two families did not encounter any danger or accident.

"Hopefully this approach will be useful."

Lu Ming thought silently: "If we can rely on this method to avoid the 12-year deadline and prevent the spread of the curse, then...at worst, we can call all the families together for a sociological experiment."

This will result in a large amount of expenditure, and will also cause many misunderstandings and incomprehensions. Some families may even strongly resist this matter and refuse to cooperate.

But Lu Ming believes that compared to life, everything else can be temporarily ignored. Regardless of whether they understand it or not, based on the responsibilities and mission of Action Team 2, they must do this.

If there are some misunderstandings and incomprehensions, just let them be.

The most important thing now is to confirm whether this method is effective or not.

Thinking that there was only half a month left, Lu Ming cheered up again.

At this moment, night has fallen. The neon lights of Blue Lake City gradually lit up, and the city gradually calmed down after a busy day.

People started to relax and enjoy the nightlife. The base here is still heavily guarded. Trained guards closely monitor both homes, providing any protection they can.

Lu Ming also fell into sleep. He didn't know how long he had been sleeping in a daze, but a shrill alarm suddenly woke him up. Lu Ming sat up instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"Holy shit, isn't it? The security level has reached this level? Are there any accidents?"

He got up quickly, opened the door while picking up his coat. Outside the door, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were already standing there with serious expressions.

A guard spoke very quickly: "The guard responsible for night surveillance just reported that violent crying suddenly broke out in the residence of No. 546 a minute ago. He immediately triggered the warning and went to check the situation. There is no news yet. Follow-up news.”

"Walk."

The three people immediately rushed to the family residence No. 546. But just halfway, before reaching the place, the follow-up news had already arrived.

"The alarm is lifted. There is no danger. The on-site surveillance guards have found out that the movement just now was caused by a fierce quarrel between the old lady of the 546 family and her two daughters. With the intervention and persuasion of the guards, the quarrel has subsided. Three People have calmed down and have rested separately."

Lu Ming was stunned.

It turned out to be because of this reason.

"It's a noisy thing." Lu Ming muttered, "Why are you so noisy?"

At this moment, the security guard who was responsible for on-site monitoring had already arrived.

"This is the recording just now."

Lu Ming took it and opened it, and the old lady's unique sharp voice came out: "You two ungrateful things, I asked you to do something. Seeing how you complained one by one, didn't I think about this family? I After doing so many things, I have to take care of everything inside and out. Am I tired? Xiaozhao, the heartless person, left early. Your father and I are no longer together, and the family property is not all yours? Your father and I What can happen?

Oh my god, my good intentions are so worthless... I won’t live anymore! Don't stop me! "

"Mom, Mom! Don't do this, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, don't do this, wuwuwuwu..."

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "Ignore the internal disputes within the family."

Lu Ming thought for a while, but his expression became serious: "Captain, I feel that this matter still needs to be taken seriously."

"oh?"

"This old lady from family No. 546 has amazing PUA skills..." Lu Ming sighed: "We must also pay attention to the mental state of the person involved. I suspect that if this old lady continues to be PUAd like this, the two daughters will not be able to bear it. . It is not impossible to commit suicide even if you go to a dead end."

He Wei snorted: "If it were me, I would have severed ties with this damn old woman long ago. Suicide? I have to kill her before committing suicide."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "This is even more of a human tragedy."

He Wei was startled.

And indeed it is.

If the two daughters break out, kill their old mother and then commit suicide, this kind of tragedy... is simply beyond people's imagination. Doesn't it confirm the reality that the curse will spread and the consequences will be tragic?

Zhang Dingshan nodded thoughtfully: "Inform Qing Liang and find some psychiatrists to come over and provide psychological counseling to their family. Make sure nothing happens."

Lu Ming said: "In my opinion, it's enough to provide psychological counseling to the two daughters. Let's forget about this old lady. Her mental health is very healthy. People who are proficient in PUA are good at absorbing other people's thoughts. Mental energy, good at causing others to collapse, but nothing happens to me."

"That's fine. What's the situation with family No. 559?"

"So far, most of them are normal. The family is getting along fairly harmoniously. However, according to the guard's observation, the daughter-in-law of family No. 559 seems to be a little absent-minded and distracted recently. When the guard talked to her, she was also very Nervous and a little guilty."

"I remember the background check showed she was fine."

"Indeed. Maybe there were too many guards and they scared her."
