My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 303 New "Shadow World"

"You stay hidden and don't go out. Do you understand?"

In the old house of Shudie, Zhuang Xiao unloaded the supplies from the robot dog while earnestly admonishing Shudie, "Stay well and don't believe what others say."

Shu Die kept nodding, "Okay, Brother Xiao, are you leaving?"

"Well, I have more important things to do." Zhuang Xiao put on his helmet again and prepared to leave.

Shu Die bit her lower lip and suddenly asked, "Will you come back?"

"Not necessarily." Zhuang Xiao replied, "But I will try my best to come back and rescue you."

"Is that so?" Shu Die smiled, "You really can't lie after all."

Zhuang Xiao pursed her lips and didn't look back.

He must solve this problem!

When they left the community, Gu Shiyue's voice rang out from the helmet, "Are you going to look for An Lan now?"

"No, I've got three tubes of blood. I'll be back now and get ready to go to the next 'Shadow World'."

Zhuang Xiao did not stop, but rode the robot dog directly back to the warehouse of the abandoned chicken farm, and then returned to the real world through the "channel".

As soon as he came back, Gu Shiyue took him for a physical examination. At the same time, he uploaded the "Shadow World" data scanned by the four robot dogs to the server and started the examination.

After the examination, Zhuang Xiao handed her the three tubes of blood and said, "See if there is any difference."

Gu Shiyue inserted the three tubes of blood into the machine and compared them with the blood of Shudie at the entrance of the village. Finally, she concluded, "They are completely consistent. They are indeed the real Xiaodie."

Zhuang Xiao took off his helmet to charge it, and asked, "What should I do?"

"Don't panic, I'm prepared."

Gu Shiyue pointed at the computer screen and said, "Look."

Zhuang Xiao leaned over to take a look and saw a group of numbers following the word "Sample 2" displayed on it.

【2024.09.05.07.32】

"What is this?" Zhuang Xiao wondered.

"'Sample 2' is the blood sample of the original Shudie from this 'Shadow World'. Although we can't study the relationship between blood and the 'Shadow World' now, it's easy to match them up."

Gu Shiyue said: "According to my conversion formula, as long as this sample is matched with the corresponding 'shadow world' number, other blood samples can generate other 'shadow worlds'."

She turned her head to look at Zhuang Xiao, "You will go back in time later, and you may not be able to easily get a blood sample then, or you may not have enough time.

"So remember these numbers. When you want to go to other corresponding 'shadow worlds', you can go directly through this machine."

"This is a great idea!" But Zhuang Xiao was still a little confused, "But is this really possible?"

"Many formulas cannot be calculated directly, but can be calculated by inserting an intermediate value. This is normal."

In ancient times, people would operate on the computer without even looking up.

At the same time, she said, "Don't waste time, get ready to go, I'll tell you the result directly."

Zhuang Xiao flexed his wrist and said, "Okay, I'm off then."

He waved at Dong Zeyu, who immediately ran over and returned the laser pistol to him, "Brother Zhuang, this gun is really cool. It has no recoil at all."

He just ran to the door to test it.

"Wait a bit, it will be available in a few decades."

Zhuang Xiao took the gun, then reconnected the leashes on the backs of the four robot dogs whose batteries had been replaced to his waist, and then went to the timeline detector behind the machine to re-enter a set of numbers.

【2008.10.15.10.00】

Then the portal started up again.

Looking at the portal emitting blue arcs of lightning, Zhuang Xiao took a deep breath and then stepped in.

It was as if all his internal organs were thrown into a washing machine. It was unknown how long it had passed before Zhuang Xiao felt that he was standing firmly on the ground.

But the moment he landed, his legs went weak and he fell to one knee.

"Zhuang Xiao, can you hear me?"

Hearing the voice of Gu Shiyue in the helmet, Zhuang Xiao stood up after a long pause, "I can hear how much time has passed over there."

"It's been fifteen minutes. How long is it on your end?"

It's been fifteen minutes?
Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment before he said, "I don't know. It feels like a long time has passed, but physically it should be just a moment."

He raised his wrist and checked the time on his watch.

"I checked the time here and it's 2008:10 a.m. on October 15, 10. The time has not changed at all."

"Well, let's take a look at the situation over there first."

"it is good."

Zhuang Xiao straightened up and looked around.

It was pitch black here, even darker than the previous "shadow world".

He raised his hand and turned on the night vision mode on his helmet. Then he was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Dong Zeyu's voice sounded in the helmet, "What's wrong, Brother Zhuang? Did you find anything over there?"

"We should still be in the warehouse." Zhuang Xiao looked around.

This was obviously still a warehouse of an abandoned chicken farm, but the furnishings were slightly different.

Many wooden shelves that looked like they were about to fall apart were placed randomly, and there were also various hardware tools on them.

"It seems that no matter where you come from, you will end up in the same place, but the layout here. Can you see it over there, Yueyue?"

"Yes." Gu Shiyue replied, "Wangcai and Xiaotian have activated the night vision mode, and Kunlun and Haotian have activated the thermal imaging mode."

"Yeah." Zhuang Xiao nodded slightly, and then asked: "Grandmaster, do you think the layout here is familiar?"

"Huh? Let me see."

About half a minute later, Dong Zeyu suddenly exclaimed, "Hiss! The layout here seems like something I've seen before when I was a child!"

"Yes." Zhuang Xiao nodded, "This is the layout of the warehouse when we came to the chicken farm to play during the summer vacation when we were kids."

He suddenly thought of something and rushed out of the warehouse, "Yueyue, come to the basement with me."

After he opened the entrance to the basement, the robot dog rushed down first, followed closely by Zhuang Xiao.

As soon as he went down, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's here."

"What the hell?! Homemade explosives!" Dong Zeyu exclaimed, "Didn't uncle and the others already deal with this stuff? How come there's still some?!"

"Yes, they have dealt with it, but they dealt with it 'several years ago', and the 'shadow world' I am in now was 'sixteen years ago'."

After explaining, Zhuang Xiao suddenly had an idea. "I suddenly have an idea."

"What's your idea?" Dong Zeyu had a bad feeling, "Brother Zhuang, please don't mess around!"

"Watch what I do."

Zhuang Xiao ignored him and walked to the pile of homemade explosives. Then he took out the timeline detector he found in the previous "shadow world".

He added Shudie's blood, who had blocked the knife, into the container, adjusted the time, and then pressed the confirmation button at the pile of homemade explosives.

The next moment, the pile of homemade explosives disappeared instantly.

Then he did the same thing and sent away the surveillance equipment as well.

“What the hell?!” Dong Zeyu exclaimed in the headset, “Brother Zhuang! Where did you put the things?!”

"Sent them to where they should go." Under the helmet, Zhuang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, "It turns out that it wasn't An Lan who did it, but I did it myself."

If he was right, these explosives would appear on the timeline starting with "3".

That was the time when he killed Liu Lang and his four men. Since he found a pile of homemade explosives that shouldn't have existed, it means that these things are indeed gone.

But...it's still not quite right.

Because the monitoring equipment at that time was obviously more advanced and had been installed in advance.

So An Lan did it too?

Forget it, it was just something I did for fun, and the previous things are over.

Now, it was more important to continue with his plan.

After climbing up again, Zhuang Xiao looked around carefully.

There were no car wreckages in the chicken farm this time, and naturally there was no zombie Shu Die.

"Sure enough, the underlying rules are different."

Zhuang Xiao looked up at the night sky. There were still no stars. The sky was empty and nothing could be seen.

"How fast does time flow?"

"About 1.2 times, but the flow rate is faster here." Gu Shiyue's voice sounded.

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao said, "I'll trouble you to help keep watch from now on. I have to start working."

"Looking for Xiaodie from this world?" Gu Shiyue asked.

"Yes, if we look at the time, Xiaodie in this 'shadow world' is only about six or seven years old." Zhuang Xiao analyzed calmly, "And if An Lan's hint to me is correct, then Xiaodie in the real world is here."

But there is a high probability that Shu Die is dead now.

So the question is, how was she killed by Shu Die, who was only six or seven years old?
Obviously this is impossible.

Then there are only a few options.

One: It was something like the gravity field disorder in this world or the zombie Shu Die that killed her.

But time travel is triggered by the "result".

In other words, the "result" that led to her death also died.

If the "natural phenomena" in this world were blamed on the six or seven-year-old Shu Die, then the young Shu Die would also die later.

Did he die of starvation? Or something else?

Anyway, the time that Shu Die, a child, spent in this "shadow world" would not be too long, otherwise, even if there was no danger, it would be difficult for her to survive.

Or they were killed by other Shudies.

2: Shu Die in the real world did die here, but was killed by other invading Shu Die.

It was very difficult to find someone after that.

3: Shu Die from the real world did not come to this "shadow world".

So why did An Lan guide him here?

Because An Lan knew who killed Shu Die in the real world, and now Zhuang Xiao also knew it.

She was killed by people from the Shudie Alliance.

Then An Lan guided him here, which means that this "shadow world" is related to the Shudie Alliance.

After all, An Lan didn't know that Zhuang Xiao had obtained the blood of those Shu Dies.

Or rather, she knew, but not 100%.

And given her personality, she won't say anything unless she is 100% sure.

So the fact that she guided me here means that in this "shadow world" I can get 100% of the relevant clues about the Shudie Alliance.

That young Shu Die was a member of the Shu Die Alliance?
Or was she controlled by the other party?

Or is she hiding?

These are hard to say.

So now the most important things are two things.

First, confirm whether Shu Die from the real world is here.

If he is still there, I want to see him alive or dead.

If she's not there, we need to get more clues about her.

Second, find young Shu Die and learn more information.

"Let's go, let's go."

Having said that, he was stunned as soon as he left the chicken farm.

“Is there something wrong with this place?”

Yes, there are indeed no abandoned car wreckage or zombies here, but why is it so dark and empty just to the west of the chicken farm?
If the robot dog hadn't reacted quickly and pulled back the leash to grab him, he would have been rushed into the void and died.

"The area here should be smaller than the previous 'Shadow World'."

Gu Shiyue analyzed in the headset, "Maybe it's the scope of cognition, or the places he has been to."

Zhuang Xiao suddenly understood, "You mean, because the farthest Xiaodie went when she was little is here, so the scope of her 'shadow world' is only here?"

"No, the place that impressed her the most should be only here." Gu Shiyue said: "The scope of the previous 'shadow world' is only one-third of the city and a distance to the west of the chicken farm.

"That Xiaodie has been to many places, but her 'shadow world' only has these places, so I think maybe the 'shadow world' is not a fragment after the timeline is broken, but an independent space formed based on Xiaodie's consciousness and spirit."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "But if that's the case, how did An Lan travel through time and space through the 'shadow world'? This doesn't make sense."

"But there is only Xiaodie in the 'Shadow World', this doesn't make sense." Gu Shiyue said: "Okay, I have sorted out the specific range map of the previous 'Shadow World' and will send it to you now."

After more than ten seconds, a map appeared on the windshield of Zhuang Xiao's helmet.

This map covers the western one-third of Luoyang's urban area and an area in the suburbs.

"I have marked the places you have been to. Do you see the problem?"

After hearing Gu Shiyue's words, Zhuang Xiao looked at the map carefully, and then he was stunned for a moment.

"That park. In the middle of the map?"

"Yes." Gu Shiyue said: "Maybe it was an accident, but it's worth a try. Anyway, it's better than running around like a headless fly."

"Indeed, and there is a possibility that we might run into other members of the Shudie Alliance. In order to avoid alerting them, we really have to stay away first." Zhuang Xiao asked, "So I have to confirm the scope of this 'shadow world' first, right?"

"That's right, let's run around the border." Gu Shiyue said: "If my speculation is correct, this 'shadow world' will not be too big."

"Okay, you have the final say." Zhuang Xiao rode on the back of "Kunlun" obediently, "Time waits for no one, let's go."

Forty minutes later—

At the back door of Wangcheng Park, Zhuang Xiao jumped off Kunlun's back and asked, "How is it?"

This "shadow world" is completely different from the last time. He did not encounter any "natural disasters" such as gravity field disturbances.

I didn't even meet a Shudie.

But more because of this, he was worried that something big was going to happen later.

After a moment, Gu Shiyue's voice sounded, "Okay, I've sent you the map, and the center point is also marked."

Zhuang Xiao looked at the map projected on the windshield, his eyes fixed on the highlighted location in the middle.

"Is this a primary school?"

"Yes, the center point of this 'shadow world' is the elementary school you once attended, and it is also the elementary school Xiaodie once attended."
