My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 237 The familiar feeling is back
"An Lan."

That text message was definitely sent by An Lan!

She's still alive?!
But Zhuang Xiao knew that she must be dead.

Could it be that, like before, only her physical body died at that time, but her spirit was not dead, and it was transferred to her own body in another timeline?

Or maybe the An Lan who was sending him text messages at this time was the big An Lan who was still in the "future".

She has not yet returned to the past in the flesh.

It seems that there will be one more task to do next, which is to find a way to contact An Lan.

But the fact that she sent me a text message means that she is paying attention to this matter.

And maybe she is in the "shadow world"!

Gu Shiyue's inference is that if one wants to travel through time and space, one needs to use the "shadow world" as a transit point.

An Lan has traveled through time and timelines many times, so she should be very familiar with the "shadow world".

Zhuang Xiao put this matter aside for the moment. He summarized the current clues and began to record them according to the timeline.

【Currently known information:】

[Between 4am and 1am on April 5st, an unknown Shudie will die in the basement of a warehouse in an abandoned chicken farm.]

【At 13:10 noon, Dong Zeyu arrived. 】

[The police found the body between 14:30 and 15: in the afternoon.]

[Around 15: in the afternoon, Dong Weirui called me and said that a body had been found and she had to rush over to work overtime.]

[Between 15:21 and :, Dong Zeyu and I were surfing the Internet in an internet cafe and eating dinner. Shudie, with short hair and a hat, appeared in the large flat.]

[Around 16: in the afternoon, Gu Shiyue drove Zhen Shudie to the airport. ]

【At 16:50 in the afternoon, Zhen Shudie boarded the plane. 】

[At 18:44 in the afternoon, a mosaic figure resembling the unknown Shu Die appeared in the warehouse surveillance, and then disappeared. ]

[At 19:30, the plane landed. Zhen Shudie drove back from the airport.]

[At 21 p.m., I returned home, and Shudie, who had short hair, asked me to play a dancing game.]

[At 21:40 pm, Shudie with short hair left to buy a Coke. ]

[At 21:55, Dong Weirui called me. At the same time, Shudie came back.]

[I left home and drove to an abandoned chicken farm in the suburbs.]

[Around 22 p.m., the real Shudie drove into the residential area, and then she probably entered the 'shadow world' when she entered her home.]

[I returned to the large flat around 4:2 a.m. on April 1. The person staying here was Pajama Shudie. ]

[At 12:30 noon, Shudie came into the room to cook for me and begged me not to leave.]

[I left the flat and rushed to the Municipal Bureau, where I learned that Jiao Tan Shudie in the basement had died before noon on April 4.]

[After 14 p.m., Dong Weirui and I picked up Gu Shiyue at the airport, and then returned to the large flat and the other two properties.]

【Around 16: in the afternoon, I went back in time. 】

[Time before the retrospective: April 2025, 4, around 2:16. ]

【回溯后的时间：2025年4月1日，7点32分。】

After finishing the entire timeline, Zhuang Xiao stretched.

"Time is really tight. We need to find out when Xiaodie died and how to save her."

Having said that, even Zhuang Xiao himself didn't know that a smile actually appeared on his face at this moment.

Before, with Gu Shiyue and Dong Weirui around, he even gave up some of his reasoning and thinking abilities.

And now, that feeling seems to come back again.

It was obvious that time was limited, and it was clearly pushing him to move forward against the clock.

But his mind was clearer than ever before.

He was unaware of it and continued to analyze and record.

[The real Shu Die came back at 22:16 tonight, but she went back in time at 22:16 the next afternoon.] [That is to say, she may have died the moment she entered the house at : tonight, but the person who killed her will also die at : tomorrow afternoon.]

[If we exclude the unexpected factors, this means that the Shudies will kill each other. ]

[Similar to a chicken-eating contest, the final winner can get the right to live in the real world and become a real "Shudie", while the loser will either die or continue to wander on the other side of the world. ]

[So what we have to do today is to intercept Xiaodie in advance and prevent her from entering the 'shadow world' so that she won't die.]

And maybe we can win over some "Shudie" who can be of use.

But it remains to be seen.

Zhuang Xiao looked at the time. It was 4 o'clock in the morning on April 1st.

In other words, there is already a dead body in that basement now?
Zhuang Xiao wasn't sure, but he planned to go and take a look.

But before that.
He picked up the three-fold folding paper on the table and dialed Shu Die's number. It took a while for the other end to answer.

"Brother Xiao? What's wrong? Have you missed me after not seeing me for a while?~~"

Shu Die's voice had a bit of the drowsy tone of a baby who had just woken up.

Zhuang Xiao crossed his legs unconsciously, and then asked, "You just woke up?"

This girl is usually either lively or aloof, and her voice is that kind of magnetic, royal sister voice. This kind of baby voice is really rare.

"Yes, Brother Xiao, do you want a video?" Shu Die was still teasing over there.

Zhuang Xiao smiled slightly and decisively sent a video invitation.

And then it was rejected.

"Brother Xiao!!!"

Zhuang Xiao smiled.

You little brat, you want to fight me with your low attack and defense?
Just overthinking it!
"Stop making trouble. Are you going back to Luoyang this afternoon?" Zhuang Xiao asked.

"Ah?" Shu Die was stunned. "How did you know?! Damn it! Sister Yue must have told you secretly! I told her not to tell! I wanted to give you a surprise!"

Zhuang Xiaoxin said that she was not happy, but she was too shocked.

If he didn't have the power to "go back in time", he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

"Don't come back yet."

It's too dangerous here.

At least, as far as Zhuang Xiao knows, there are three places where "channels" have appeared.

I don’t know about the others yet.

"Ah? Brother Xiao, do you really not want to see me?" Shu Die's baby voice was filled with grievance.

"No, of course I want to see you, but there's something I need you to investigate over there."

Zhuang Xiao said: "You arrange for someone to measure the area of my parents' house and your house, then compare them with the actual area, and then send it to me."

"Okay." Shu Die didn't understand, but she would definitely do what Zhuang Xiao asked. "Then I'll finish it before this afternoon and send it to you~"

"Okay, you should also pay attention to safety and don't run around alone." Zhuang Xiao gave another specific instruction.

"Know it!"

Shu Die hung up the phone.

Zhuang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

At least Shu Die is safe now.

Then he stood up and went back to his bedroom and looked at the bed.

Well, it’s a five-meter bed, which means that at this moment, the “overlapping” has not started in this large flat.

He went to Shudie's master bedroom again and opened the closet. There were no JK, Hanfu, or Lolita costumes inside, which also proved this point.

In other words, the channels didn't appear at the same time?

This cannot be confirmed, so he is now going to an abandoned chicken farm in the suburbs to see if there are any corpses there.
