My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 261: The flying machine, start!

The time is the current date.

"What is this. Date and time?"

Dong Weirui, who also came over, took a few glances at the string of numbers on the LCD screen, pondered for a moment, and asked the above question.

"Yes, I don't know how to use it yet. Let me try it first."

Zhuang Xiao tries to modify the time.

Just like last time, he deleted the last digit.

Looking at the flashing cursor at the end of the string of numbers, Zhuang Xiao took a deep breath and pressed "Confirm".

So the string of numbers changed from [2025.04.01.10.27] to [2025.04.01.10.20].

But unfortunately, the machine still didn't respond at all.

"Isn't it right?"

Zhuang Xiao stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

That doesn't make sense. An Lan's hints are so obvious.

Not long after, he seemed to have thought of something and modified the string of numbers again.

【2025.04.01.07.32】

He pressed the confirmation button again, but there was still no response.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

No, it should be correct, but some small flaws have been overlooked.

It must be related to the "time nodes" and "space-time anchor points".

So, today isn't actually an anchor point?
So, when is the nearest anchor point?
December 2024, 12?

That day might have been an anchor point for An Lan, but not for Zhuang Xiao himself.

But there's no harm in trying.

So he changed the number to [2024.12.31.07.32].

But still no response.

This was within Zhuang Xiao's understanding. After all, his impression of that day besides his birthday was the earthquake that occurred in the evening.

He doesn't remember the exact time.

"If we go further."

There will only be that day.

That day was a day that Zhuang Xiaozhen would never forget in her life.

That day was the beginning of everything for him.

2024, April 9.

Zhuang Xiao recalled for a moment and then began to modify the numbers.

【2024.09.05.19.15】

This was roughly the time when he first saw Shu Die die in front of him.

In fact, this was not the first time Shu Die died, nor was it the first time Zhuang Xiao went back in time.

At that time, he was squatting on the side of the road with Dong Zeyu, and then Shu Die drove over in a Bentley. They chatted for a few words, and then Shu Die was hit and killed by Liu Lang driving a Dayun.

It's about this time.

But still no change.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Xiao tried to change the number to [2024.09.06.00.32]

This was the first time he went back in time.

But still no response.

That's the last one left.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Xiao entered the number in his mind.

【2024.09.05.07.32】

This was the time after his first time traveling back in time.

When he confirmed it, nothing happened.

Dong Zeyu, who had been watching from the side for a while, scratched his short flat head and said, "Brother Zhuang, is there a possibility that your thinking is wrong? What the hell?!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a buzzing sound of electricity, and then the ring began to rotate, starting with a slow rotation and then spinning faster and faster!
Then, a blue and white electric current visible to the naked eye flashed in the middle of the ring! Those currents gathered in the center of the ring, creating a blue and white electric field vortex!
"What the hell?! It really worked?!"

Dong Zeyu was about to reach out to touch the blue-white beam of light, but just as he was about to touch it, he was kicked away by Zhuang Xiao.

After he pounced on the dog's shit, he looked up in astonishment, "Brother Zhuang, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? What are you doing?" Zhuang Xiao was furious. "Can you just touch this?! Huh?"

Dong Zeyu was puzzled. "But I've seen movies like this. I should be able to enter the 'shadow world' as long as I pass through this door."

"That's a fucking movie!" Zhuang Xiao, who almost never swears, couldn't hold back any longer. "If you try to get yourself killed, I'll have to find a way to save you! Now that the experiment has succeeded, it's a big step forward! We'll wait for the professionals to arrive before we decide what to do next!"

He turned his head and asked Dong Weirui, "Weirui, what time is it now?"

Judging from the time, Gu Shiyue and Shu Die should have gotten off the plane.

“2024年9月5日，早上7点32分。”董葳蕤一直抬着皓腕，杏眸就没挪开过。

"Ah?" Zhuang Xiao was stunned. "I asked about the current time, not the time I set."

“The time is now.”

Dong Weirui showed his watch. "I was watching the watch just now. After the current appeared, the hands on my watch started to reverse. It didn't stop until this time, and it hasn't moved since."

Zhuang Xiao was stunned, then suddenly raised his wrist!

The time on his wrist also stopped at 7:32! And the second hand did not move at all!
He immediately took out his spare phone and turned it on. The time displayed on it was exactly the same.

2024年9月5日，早上7点32分！
Zhuang Xiao suddenly had an idea and immediately called Gu Shiyue.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable"

Why is the number empty?
Zhuang Xiao was confused at first, then an idea flashed in his mind!
If the machine starts, it means that what I did is right!

It is indeed connected to the "anchor"!
And that "anchor point" is the specific time of his previous time travels!
In that timeline, Gu Shiyue had already passed away in 2012! So it was impossible to have her phone number!
And that text message was also received at this time!
Could it be that the text message was sent in this state?

Maybe he even sent it himself?

Zhuang Xiao hesitated for a moment and tried to send a text message to himself.

He didn't send the content of the text message, but just randomly sent "1".

But the sending failed.

He looked at the signal and it was full.

After thinking for a moment, he called Shu Die again.

It didn’t work either.

He did not get discouraged, but called Dong Zeyu and Dong Weirui separately.

The call didn't go through either.

Putting down the phone, Zhuang Xiao raised his eyes and said, "You two can try to make the call."

The Dong siblings nodded, then took out their cell phones at the same time and started trying.

Two minutes later, they both shook their heads.

"No, no matter who I call, they say the number is unavailable."

Dong Weirui pointed to the transformer in the far corner and said, "The transformer seems to be emitting sparks, and the light beam in this machine seems to be unstable."

Seeing this, Zhuang Xiao hurried to the timeline detector and turned off the machine.

With a huge "siu" sound of electric current converging, all the light beams disappeared and the ring stopped rotating.

Dong Weirui withdrew his gaze from his wrist, raised his almond-shaped eyes and said, "Time has returned to normal."

Zhuang Xiao took a look and found that it was true.

He called Gu Shiyue again.

The call was connected quickly.

"Just got off the plane, I'm in the parking lot, going home?"

It looks like this girl has entered energy-saving mode again.

"Don't go back yet. Come to my place directly. I'll send you the location. I have made a major discovery here. Have you finished reading the document?" Zhuang Xiao asked.

"It's over."

"That's fine. I found a machine that An Lan left behind. It seems that this thing can help us enter the 'shadow world'. Come here quickly."

"Okay." Gu Shiyue over there spoke briefly and to the point.
