My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 263 starts!

"Do you want to open it again?"

Standing in front of the machine, Zhuang Xiao turned around and asked.

At this time, Gu Shiyue's four drones and two mechanical dogs were ready.

"Wait a minute."

After skillfully debugging the robot dog and drone, Gu Shiyue took out a lot of equipment that looked like antennas and signal receivers from the suitcase and handed them to Dong Zeyu, "Put them in the four corners of the warehouse."

"okay!"

Dong Zeyu, who originally felt that he had nothing to do, hurried to make arrangements after hearing what he heard.

After he finished the arrangement, Gu Shiyue sat on the floor and started tinkering with the computer.

After about five minutes, she raised her head and said, "Okay, start it."

Zhuang Xiao took a breath and then started the machine again.

The next moment, the buzzing sound of electricity sounded again, and an inexplicably strong wind blew around, ruffling the hair of several people.

The blue and white electric current appeared again, and then formed a vortex of electric current in the rotating metal ring, like a portal leading to an unknown place.

crackling——

Dong Weirui suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the transformer where the sound came from. Sparks were flying from the black transformer.

"It can only hold out for ten minutes at most." Dong Weirui made a quick judgment.

Zhuang Xiao did not reply, but turned around and looked at Gu Shiyue.

The robot dog beside Gu Shiyue suddenly stood up, and a blue ring of light lit up where its electronic eyes were.

Then, drones took off one after another with a loud buzzing sound and landed steadily in the air around the portal.

The blue light on the electronic eyes of the two robot dogs suddenly began to scan the entire warehouse.

When the blue light swept across the brick wall of the warehouse, the wall paint peeled off like a sand painting blown away by the wind.

Dong Weirui subconsciously tightened the baton in his hand, but found that a thin layer of frost had condensed on the surface of the baton - in the warm April air.

Dong Zeyu subconsciously walked to the wall and raised his hand to touch the peeling paint, but found nothing.

The touch from his fingers told him that this was still the original wall.

"What's going on? Glasses-free 3D? Virtual reality?"

No one answered him. Zhuang Xiao and Dong Weirui's eyes fell on Gu Shiyue.

"The temperature gradient is abnormal, minus fifteen degrees in the southwest corner."

Gu Shiyue was typing on the laptop keyboard, speaking Chinese which Zhuang Xiao and the others could not understand at all.

It should be Chinese, right?

Of course Gu Shiyue would not explain anything because it was troublesome and they couldn't understand.

"Wangcai, start the synchronous scan."

As Gu Shiyue typed on the keyboard, the searchlight on the robot dog's forehead suddenly lit up. The blue beam swept across the entire warehouse, casting strange shadows on the wall.

Those shadows sometimes stretched into distorted human shapes, and sometimes collapsed into flickering spots of light.

"What the hell?! Look!" Dong Zeyu exclaimed, pointing at Gu Shiyue's laptop screen.

Zhuang Xiao and Dong Weirui stood behind Shu Die and looked at her carefully.

In the infrared images sent back by the robot dog, layers of phantoms appeared in the originally empty warehouse: Shu Die appeared repeatedly in different locations. There was a young Shu Die in school uniform, squatting cautiously in the corner as if avoiding something, an adult Shu Die suddenly lay down as if stabbed, and a tiny young Shu Die in a skirt, hugging her legs and sitting there helplessly as if hiding from the rain, or as if hiding from the whole world.

"This is." Zhuang Xiao's Adam's apple rolled.

"Time afterimage." Gu Shiyue didn't even turn around, "Because the 'channel' was successfully observed, it also affected the real world. Almost every timeline that you changed by going back will leave a mark." The robot dog suddenly issued a shrill alarm, and its four mechanical legs grabbed sparks on the ground.

The illusion of Shu Die in the holographic projection began to flash at ten times the speed, and finally stopped at her back as she walked away with her hands behind her back.

Zhuang Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank - this was exactly Shu Die who died in front of him and blocked the knife for him!
He subconsciously reached out his hand.

"Brother Xiao, I will always be with you."

Shudie's whispers overlap with the tenderness in memory.

At the police station that evening, the gentle Shu Die also rushed towards Liu Lang, who was holding a knife, without hesitation.

Zhuang Xiao suddenly felt his temple throbbing, and the residual image on his retina gradually merged with reality - Shu Die, wearing a beige windbreaker, was turning in front of the machine, her lips moving as she spoke something.

Gu Shiyue suddenly turned the tablet towards everyone, and the voiceprint analysis software was analyzing the lip language: "Brother Xiao, don't come."

Before he could finish his words, the fluorescent tubes on the warehouse ceiling exploded one after another.

Between the flickering lights, Zhuang Xiao saw dark red liquid oozing out of the metal casing of the detector. The blood beads meandered along the lines of the circuit board and eventually formed the number "20:00" on the ground.

"What does this mean?" Dong Weirui turned on a high-intensity flashlight. Wherever the beam passed, the string of numbers disappeared, as if it had never appeared. What happened just now seemed like an illusion.

"This is the exact time of Xiaodie's death." Zhuang Xiao's hoarse voice sounded in the warehouse.

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to drown out the roar of the machines and the restlessness of the drones.

Dong Zeyu was stunned, "But didn't Xiaodie just disappear?"

"It's another Xiaodie." The Shu Die who died in front of Zhuang Xiao to block the knife for him.

The robot dog suddenly stood up, and an octopus-like probe shot out from its abdomen and inserted into the ground.

Gu Shiyue stared at the violently fluctuating data stream, and her voice seemed to tighten. "Zhuang Xiao, calm down. The 'channel' of the 'shadow world' seems to be related to your emotions. Now the 'channel' is fluctuating extremely unsteadily."

Zhuang Xiao then realized that his nails had dug into his palms, and blood was dripping down the seams of his pants. Every drop of blood would stir up a circle of silver ripples when it hit the ground, and wherever the ripples reached, the ground became as transparent as glass.

Through this illusory mirror, he saw countless versions of himself roaring in different scenes: holding Shudie in the blizzard, looking for Shudie in the rainstorm, and now kneeling in front of the portal.

The drone swarm suddenly went out of control, dragging glowing wires to weave a three-dimensional spider web above the portal.

When a drone flew over the top of the detector, a large blue arc suddenly exploded in the air. Zhuang Xiao's retina retained a strange image - countless transparent Shudie holding hands, looming in the arc.

"The magnetic field strength has exceeded the critical value." Gu Shiyue's voice seemed to come from underwater, "Wangcai, activate the second-level protection!"

As she spoke in a childish manner and heard the sound of typing on the keyboard, an umbrella-shaped force field generator unfolded on the robot dog's back, and a light blue film of light enveloped everyone.

Zhuang Xiao felt cold fingers brushing the back of his neck. When he turned around, he saw Dong Weirui holding a baton, his almond-shaped eyes fixed on the laptop monitor.

He shook his head, as if the shadows that only he could see were getting closer and closer. The air outside the light film began to take on a texture like oil paint, and the originally empty warehouse was fading into an old scene like black and white film.

The ground collapsed without warning.

In the weightlessness, Zhuang Xiao saw the detector burst out with light like the sun, and countless afterimages of time rushed towards the light source like moths to a flame.

Shu Die's illusion suddenly became extremely clear, and the hem of her windbreaker was still stained with mud from the rain.

She stood in front of little Shudie who was sitting there with her legs crossed, and looked at her silently.

Then, as if she felt something, she slowly looked back, and Zhuang Xiao's pale face was reflected in her starry eyes.

Then she extended her hand to Zhuang Xiao.

When her fingertips were about to touch Zhuang Xiao, the entire space suddenly fell into absolute silence.

Then a crisp "click" like the sound of an old camera shutter broke the silence.

Shu Die was the last image left on Zhuang Xiao’s retina. He seemed to see Shu Die standing at the end of the light, and the mud spots on the hem of her windbreaker were turning into dark red bloodstains.
