My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 256 An Lan's Research Notes

Zhuang Xiao turned around subconsciously, but all he saw was Dong Weirui with puzzled eyes and the corpse on the ground.

Apart from that, he was facing the snow-white wall at the head of the bed.

Dong Weirui also saw that sentence.

She took the photo from Zhuang Xiao, pushed him aside, and stood in front of the desk herself.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled out a chair and sat down, then placed the photo face up on the desk.

She lowered her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and happened to meet the eyes of An Lan, who was smiling brightly in the photo, after sixteen years.

The ceiling was blank.

Then he looked up suddenly and the ceiling was covered in white.

"I understand."

Dong Weirui suddenly realized something. She opened the drawer and reached in to feel for something.

"found it."

Zhuang Xiao stared at her hands, where there was something similar to an air conditioner remote control and a notebook with a black cover.

Remote control?!

Zhuang Xiao grabbed the remote control and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the faster his heart beat!
That’s right! This is the “Timeline Detector”!
"How did you come up with that?"

Dong Weirui replied: "It's very simple. She said she was always looking at you. The photo frame was placed face up in the drawer. If you were sitting at the desk and lowered your head, you would be looking directly at her in the photo.

"And she is looking upwards in the photo. Since there is nothing on the ceiling, it must be right above the photo frame in the drawer. This is the clue she left for you."

Zhuang Xiao was stunned, then helplessly held his forehead, "So, she left this clue to me in 2008, but I didn't find it until now."

"I don't blame you. According to what you said, she was just trying to end everything. You didn't expect what would happen next."

Dong Weirui handed him the notebook and said, "Maybe there are clues in it."

Zhuang Xiao took it and immediately opened the notebook.

[You will find this notebook sooner or later. You will probably be just as confused but still moving forward with determination. But it won’t be for me. I don’t really want to help.]

[But there is no way, you are my Zhuang Xiao~~]

Even though Zhuang Xiao was nervous at the moment, he couldn't help but look dark.

Is this also part of your calculations, An Lan?

What a terrible woman.
But if they are on your side, it will be reassuring.

He then looked down.

[Gu Shiyue and I have studied your affairs, especially after I knew that you could go back to the past, I began to study the reason why you could go back to the past without the help of machines. ] [Unfortunately, I lack too many equipment now, and there is no mature Gu Shiyue to help me, so everything is just speculation. ]

[The reason why our machines can go back to the past in the future is that we extracted your DNA from the hair you left behind, and then Gu Shiyue observed the difference in the timeline in reverse.]

[The machine we used to go back to the past actually relies on your DNA to lock the timeline anchor point. I guess it is because I used your DNA as an anchor point to go back to the past that you have similar abilities. This is also the reason why you can only passively go back to the past and cannot actively control it. Of course, this is just my guess. ]

[But in fact, your ability should not be simply to go back to the past, because time will not come back, and people cannot really go back to the past. ]

[Our method is to use your DNA and other things to anchor the time nodes in "history", and then mark these "time nodes" as anchor points.]

[That is to say, the essence of 'time reversal' is actually 'anchor point jump'. ]

[You should have seen "X-Men: First Class", "Time Travel" is similar to Wolverine's return to the past. It is also similar to the operation in "Steins;Gate", except that "Steins;Gate" really allows the body to go back, while we can only put our consciousness into our past self. ]

[As for why I was able to physically return to the past twice, I can only say that I was lucky, but there seems to be something else behind this, and I haven't figured it out yet, so I won't interfere with your thoughts. After all, you like to fantasize the most. ]

[But I can talk about the 'shadow world'. In fact, it is not a world at all. Gu Shiyue must have a chuunibyou to give it such a name.]

[I personally prefer to call it 'time-space bad sectors', similar to the bad sectors on a hard drive. ]

[Although the impact can be minimized each time you "go back in time" or "jump to an anchor point", a new timeline will still be generated after changing the future, and there is only one timeline that "exists" at the same time.]

[Therefore, the "anchor point jump" will inevitably cause a certain impact, that is, the original timeline is torn apart, and those discarded useless timelines will form fragments. ]

[But the fragments did not dissipate. In fact, our original belief that changing the timeline would cause the destruction of the original timeline was wrong. We humans are too arrogant and always think we can destroy the world. Just like our ancestors once believed that nuclear bombs could destroy the earth.]

[In fact, nuclear bombs can only destroy humans, and may not even be able to destroy humans, let alone destroy the earth. ]

[The universe will find a way to continue to exist. In fact, those abandoned timeline bad track fragments will not disappear, but will be attached to the outside of the timeline as glue. ]

['Anchor point jump' was originally a way to successfully 'smuggle' across the gap at the edge of the timeline, and those fragments that Gu Shiyue called the 'shadow world' filled the gap. ]

[My body relies on these fragments to successfully return to the anchor point in the past. Because the original gap cannot allow organisms to survive, but the fragments, as part of the original world, can naturally survive.]

[Let's just keep calling it 'Shadow World'. I found a lot of interesting things in 'Shadow World', for example, there are a lot of Shudie trapped in it, I think that will be your trouble in the future. ]

[And their existence also proves that you have successfully survived until after 2024, which means that my plan was successful. ]

[But it's still not safe. I have other backup plans. There are some very interesting things in this 'shadow world', which are also related to you. I will go there to explore after I die. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again.]

[Oh, one more thing. If you want to go to the 'shadow world', go to the valley halfway up the mountain. My dad has already bought that villa. He bought it at a low price when it was unfinished. I left some things there. You know the password.]

[Then, we will part here for now, but the day we meet again will not be far away. ]

[One last thing, there is a phone card slot in the timeline detector. Try your phone card. There will be a surprise waiting for you~~]

【An Lan】

After reading it, Zhuang Xiao subconsciously turned another page, but the back of the page was blank, with a hole in the middle of the notebook and a key in the hole.
