My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 308 Did she die voluntarily? (Together)
Zhuang Xiao looked at An Lan and saw that she looked anxious, which was rare on her face. So he took off his helmet and revealed his handsome face. "Why are you asking me to do this?"

His eyes suddenly became sharp, "What is your purpose? I was young before and didn't dare to resist you, but it's different now."

He raised the laser pistol in his hand, "At this moment, the offensive and defensive situation is different!"

This is misleading.

Zhuang Xiao said this to mislead An Lan into thinking that it was still before December 2024, 12.

He could even make her think that he was unaware of her "plan", but the timeline would be stuck after he went back in time to 2008.

In this way, An Lan will do her best to help him with other things, as long as he does not interfere with her "plan".

If he didn't understand her "plan", he would not interfere with her and at the same time make her let down her guard.

And for his future, she will sincerely help him avoid danger.

Kill several birds with one stone!
Sure enough, when An Lan heard what he said, the panic and anxiety on her face immediately disappeared, and she regained her relaxed look.

There was a faint smile in her beautiful eyes, but her gaze was fixed on Zhuang Xiao's young but slightly tired face. "I didn't expect you to find this place. Do you know where this place is?"

She had already gotten the "answer" she wanted, so she didn't ask Zhuang Xiao what date it was outside.

When Zhuang Xiao heard her new question, he found it funny.

Still trying! Still trying!
He now has a pretty good understanding of this woman's character.

This guy always wants to take the initiative, but doesn't want to show it too obviously, so he always asks questions to induce the other party to answer seemingly irrelevant questions.

Then she analyzes the information she wants to know based on the information she has and the other party's answers.

She can even analyze more information through the other party's attitude and tone.

This woman would definitely be a great player at playing Werewolf.

But if someone knows her well, they can take advantage of this.

So Zhuang Xiao rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "It's just the 'shadow world', what's there to not understand? If I hadn't planned to come here to find Xiaodie, I wouldn't have had the chance to run into you."

Then he immediately asked, "By the way, what are you going to do next?"

Seeing him staring at her intently, An Lan smiled, "Who knows~~"

She had gotten the clue she wanted.

In this case, I might as well give this handsome boy a taste of the sweetness, and it will also help to appropriately break down his guard against me, so that my subsequent plans can be better implemented.

"Handsome, you should have seen the strange situation of this 'shadow world' just now."

Zhuang Xiao nodded, but still looked at her "vigilantly", "What's going on? And why am I not affected?"

"It's very simple, because the 'shadow world' is based on the fragment of the timeline where you appeared. It may be mixed with the obsessions of Shu Die from different timelines." An Lan smiled lightly, "You should understand what I said. After all, you also saw that there is more than one Shu Die."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "But you still haven't explained clearly why time stopped there, and I was not affected."

In fact, he was quite curious.

And he knew that An Lan was not telling the truth.

The "shadow world" may not be the fragments left after the collapse of the timeline, or it may indeed be fragments, but it is also related to Shu Die's obsession.

For example, the car wreckage and the zombie Shu Die in the first "shadow world", and the "superman elementary school student Zhuang Xiao" in the second "shadow world".

This world is the world of fitness Shudie.

So what is her obsession?

"Because you in this timeline are dead."

An Lan's smile faded a lot, "Originally it was Shu Die who should have died, but you were sending her home after buying things at the convenience store, and she should have been in a car accident, but you pushed her away and got hit and killed yourself.

"Her obsession is that she should be the one to die instead of you, so time-stopping areas are generated in many areas. They appear randomly and are mostly concentrated in places you have been to with her. Each time-stopping area lasts for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, people in it can actually clearly feel everything that happens.

"That is to say, although the body cannot move, the consciousness is still there."

After a pause, she glanced at Zhuang Xiao with an ambiguous look, "Of course, except for you. So just now you grabbed my chest, patted my butt, and touched my legs. Actually, I and they could see it, and the Shudie touch is still there."

Zhuang Xiao: “.”

Fortunately, he didn't do anything excessive at that time.

"Well, I'm just doing a simple body search."

"Indeed, so I don't care."

But the smile on An Lan's face didn't look like she didn't care at all.

But Zhuang Xiao didn’t understand. What she cared about was not the body search, but why didn’t you search my body?

"Okay, so you are not familiar with them?" Zhuang Xiao asked tentatively.

"Hehe. Who knows? We have always kept to ourselves. I thought we had always maintained a tacit understanding."

An Lan smiled, "It seems that I discovered their secret, so they chased me all the way from the chicken farm warehouse."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "Warehouse? What were you doing there? And what secret did you uncover there?"

"It seems that you really don't know anything." An Lan held her forehead helplessly, "'Shadow World' is actually a transit station connecting different timelines, at least for me.

"I went to the warehouse to do some work. Handsome, do you remember the explosives in the basement of the chicken farm warehouse?"

Zhuang Xiao pretended to be surprised, "Could it be you who placed the explosives I found at that time? I thought they were left by my dad and his friends."

"The explosives have long been cleared by uncle and his men." An Lan walked up to Zhuang Xiao with the gun pointed at him and raised her hand to touch his chest. "Don't do things unilaterally according to your own ideas in the future. You still need to pay attention to emergencies and make full preparations in advance."

Zhuang Xiao took a step back and raised his gun, "Why are you helping me? It's obvious that those people followed your orders to kill Xiaodie."

"No, they were sent by Xu Guoping." An Lan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Compared to them, of course I stand on your side."

Zhuang Xiao frowned. "So what exactly is this 'shadow world'? And from what you said, it seems that there is more than one 'shadow world'?"

"Oh, it seems I said too much." An Lan covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Think about more things yourself, I still have things to do."

Having said this, she was about to turn and leave.

"Wait!" Zhuang Xiao stopped her immediately, "You haven't told me what secret you uncovered! And what's going on with them! Why are there so many little butterflies!"

"Of course I discovered their secret of killing people to silence them." An Lan blinked her beautiful eyes, "But I advise you not to continue exploring. The final result may be beyond your expectations, and you may not want to accept it."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhuang Xiao to speak, she waved her hand and left gracefully, as if she didn't care at all whether Zhuang Xiao would shoot her in the back.

As he watched her back disappear around the corner of the road, Zhuang Xiao did not choose to shoot.

"Yueyue, Weirui, Grand Master, you all heard it, right?" Zhuang Xiao spoke only after confirming that An Lan had left. "Yes," Dong Weirui said, "it seems that this 'shadow world' is in an earlier timeline. If I'm not mistaken, her next stop should be the earliest 'shadow world' you went to."

"Yeah, I think so too." Zhuang Xiao said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. How did she know that I had traveled back in time? Obviously, the 'Shadow World' would also be affected by my travel back in time."

"This is easy, I guessed it." Dong Weirui analyzed, "Although you misled her, after experiencing that 'shadow world', she probably realized that you were misleading her at this time, so if we work backwards, she will understand that you first experienced her 'future' before misleading her at this time.

"She only used the 'shadow world' as a channel, so she didn't understand the time sequence of the real world corresponding to the different 'shadow worlds'. So she made a judgment that you knew what happened to her later because you went back in time. This is also the reason why she called you at that time. Maybe she already had a guess, so she tried to call you to confirm her thoughts.

"That's why she didn't want to meet you at first when she called."

She did not ask about the explosives in the warehouse.

In fact, Zhuang Xiao had mentioned this matter to them before, but he only mentioned it briefly.

Looking back now, it seems that things were not as easy as he said.

But it was all over, and she didn't plan to ask more questions.

So she asked, "Now what are you going to do?"

Zhuang Xiao had already made a plan for this matter, "I will go back to the convenience store and make arrangements for the living Xiaodie.

"If it was really her who did it, then I will go back in time immediately. Time there has stopped for less than ten minutes, and it will be too late for me to rush back to the warehouse now.

"So once I'm sure it was her who did it, I can go back to 7:32 this morning and see if I can stop them from attacking Xiaodie. If I can't stop them, I can get the blood for Yueyue to analyze as soon as possible, and then I can go straight to Huanglong!"

After experiencing what happened with An Lan, Zhuang Xiao is no longer the "ordinary person" he used to be.

He would not underestimate the "boss" of the Shudie Alliance, but he would not underestimate himself too much either.

"It's a perfect idea." Dong Weirui was silent for a moment, then said, "Then do as you wish. I will always be behind you."

"Me too, Brother Zhuang!"

"I have no opinion."

Dong Zeyu and Gu Shiyue also gave their own ideas.

"Then it's settled."

Zhuang Xiao no longer regretted his decision, so he gripped the laser pistol tightly, turned around and walked back to the convenience store.
-
Zhuang Xiao sat up suddenly, picked up the Huazi Sanfen beside the pillow and took a look at it.

现在是2025年4月1日早上7点32分。

He clenched his fist and confirmed his guess.

The living Shu Die in the convenience store is indeed the murderer, and the charred corpse in the basement is indeed Shu Die in the real world of this timeline.

He took a deep breath, immediately got up, washed and dressed, then wrote down all his experiences on the computer and sent them to Gu Shiyue, Dong Weirui and Dong Zeyu.

Then she asked Gu Shiyue to find Shu Die, and asked Dong Zeyu to go to Dong Weirui's chicken farm. Then she contacted Secretary Zhang to go to the Mid-Mountain Valley to move equipment and help him prepare various equipment.

At 9:18, he and the Dong brothers and sisters had already met up in the chicken farm warehouse, and the portal equipment had been installed.

Zhuang Xiao was fully armed and changed his equipment, then he took out the timeline detector he found at An Lan's house, inserted the SIM card and entered [2019.04.01.22.37] to start the "shadow world" of Fitness Shudie.

Dong Weirui hung up the phone and walked in. "Sister Yue said Xiaodie has been replaced. She just got off the plane with Xiaodie and is rushing over here."

Zhuang Xiao said: "Okay, I'll go directly there."

Dong Zeyu hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Zhuang, is it really okay not to bring the robot dog?"

"There's no problem this time." Zhuang Xiao smiled. "I know so much information in advance. If there is a problem again, it will be my fault."

After that, he patted Dong Zeyu on the shoulder, then turned back to Dong Weirui and said, "I'll leave this to you."

The Dong siblings nodded.

So Zhuang Xiao pushed the two-wheeled electric scooter that Secretary Zhang had brought with him into the portal.

In the "shadow world", he pushed his electric scooter out of the warehouse, looked up at the blood-red fog in the sky, and then hid his body behind the warehouse.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a car engine came closer and stopped outside the chicken farm.

Zhuang Xiao's heart moved, and he slowed down his breathing.

In a moment, three footsteps walked into the warehouse.

Then Zhuang Xiao heard their voices.

"Do you really want to do this?" This was the voice of a certain Shu Die.

Although Shu Die's voice was the same, Zhuang Xiao could hear the difference in tone.

"Yeah, there's no need to take such a big risk."

"No, this is a necessary sacrifice." Finally, a cold voice sounded, "So even you can be sacrificed at any time."

This voice... is it the tone of a certain cold and aloof Shu Die?

Zhuang Xiao was a little confused.

It was strange. Judging from the tone of their voices, these three Shu Dies didn’t seem to be the Shu Die he was familiar with.

Could it be that Shu Die in the real world was already unconscious and was moved in by them?

Or has the murderer changed this time?
Next, Zhuang Xiao heard the sound of the basement door opening.

After the three men went down, Zhuang Xiao got up and quietly walked to the entrance of the basement.

Then he took a deep breath and slowly listened.

Because the entrance to the basement was not closed, the sound quickly came up.

Then he heard a sentence.

"Okay, go ahead and kill me. After you're done, remember to set it on fire, then return to the city immediately, and then remember to commit suicide after six hours."

"Don't worry, we know what to do."

The next moment, there was a hissing sound, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

That's the sound of a laser pistol firing!

But Zhuang Xiao did not go down. His face looked extremely ugly.

Because from the conversation between the three people below, he had learned a fact.

That is, Shu Die in the real world died voluntarily.
