My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 329 Clues to the World

The average speed of elevators in domestic tertiary hospitals is 1.75 meters per second.

Normally, in low-rise buildings below six floors, the elevator speed will be between 1 meter and 1.5 meters per second.

However, in China, it is generally required to install elevators in buildings with more than seven floors, so many old residential buildings are six or seven floors high and do not require elevators.

The elevator speed in medium and high-rise buildings with more than ten floors is about 2 to 2.5 meters per second.

Ever since the elevator started descending, Zhuang Xiao has been counting silently in his mind.

The elevator stopped when I counted to almost sixty.

In other words, from the morgue on the underground first floor to the current location, it has descended about one hundred to one hundred and ten meters.

So deep.
Zhuang Xiao became more and more curious.

However, he also pulled out a dagger and an electric baton so that he could react if there was an ambush inside.

As the elevator door opened, everything here came into view.

This is a square room of about 50 square meters, with no other entrances or exits except the elevator.

Not only the surroundings, but also the ceiling and the floor were inlaid with some kind of alloy that Zhuang Xiao could not recognize.

On the wall directly opposite the elevator was a whole cork board with a lot of information pinned on it.

Zhuang Xiao took a closer look and couldn't look away.

It first writes about the security guard's general life, his family background, interpersonal relationships, likes and dislikes, etc.

"Is this... easier to act?"

It may also be to avoid exposing one's identity.

Zhuang Xiao looked carefully at the security guard's date of birth.

"July 1968, 7. Hum. The password is really my date of birth."

Zhuang Xiao skipped these and continued reading.

"The way to get out is to arrive at the corresponding location at 12 o'clock on Sunday night, which means midnight on Monday, and then you can leave?

"No, this is the time to come in. It will be much easier for those who want to leave. As long as you arrive at the designated location at midnight, you can automatically leave your body and go back. After that, your body will return to normal life according to the original trajectory of action, and there will be no corresponding memories?
“Only one person’s identity information can be entered into each location, and it cannot be changed unless the person dies or leaves the company.

"If an 'ordinary person' accidentally discovers the secret of the 'transmission channel' or finds any clues, the world will activate the harmony program and automatically eliminate the character. If the elimination fails, staff will need to enter and eliminate the target.

"In addition to the 'scavengers', there is still a need for 'guardians' who are on duty for a long time to maintain the normal operation of the world and report any problems in a timely manner."

That's basically the information.

Zhuang Xiao was silent for a moment and did not touch anything here. Instead, he went up and called Dong Zeyu to take the security guard away from the hospital and found a new hotel to book a three-person suite.

Asking Dong Zeyu to keep an eye on the security guard, he found a pen and paper and began to summarize and analyze the information he knew and what to do next.

[The other party is a company-like force. This world was created by their company, or rather, discovered by their company.]

[In the outside world, at least several decades or even hundreds of years later, the other company is not an official organization, but it is related to the official. This shows that at least in the outside world, society still has an organizational structure, rather than an unorganized chaos. ]

[The employees who come here are divided into two categories. One category is security guards who deal with problems. They don’t come in at ordinary times, and only come in to deal with problems. The other category is those who stay here for a long time. Dong Weirui is probably one of them.]

So maybe they entered in two ways.

['Scavenger' should be a possessed type, while 'Guardian' is probably the type that grew up, but should also be able to go out regularly. ]

[So the next step is to find out where the various 'channels' are, and then thoroughly investigate people who have been in contact with these places, at least find out their dates of birth, and then look for places where you can enter the 'password'. The one that matches is the target.]

[Another question, what 'channel' does my password open? ]

[Dong Weirui also tossed the coin and it always landed on the heads side. She should have been reminding me of this. Therefore, any coin that always lands on one side is from the ‘outside’.]

[It is also possible that the coin was not in before, but only after entering did it keep flipping one side up. ]

[Since I also flipped the coin and it always landed on the front, it means I also came in from outside. ]

[But I don't have any memory of this. It seems that I still need to find my own 'channel' and then get out to know more. ]

[So, An Lan might not be dead? ]

[Old Shudie said that she and An Lan had discovered some secrets, but An Lan was one step ahead. Could it be that this was the secret they discovered? ]

[So An Lan might have gone out? ]

After stopping writing, Zhuang Xiao looked at the contents on the paper for a few more times, then picked up the lighter he had asked Dong Zeyu for, lit the paper, and then threw it into the metal trash can.

After the paper burned to ashes, Zhuang Xiao opened the window and looked out at Luoyang, which seemed to be covered with a hazy veil by the misty drizzle, just like the mystery at the moment.

Yes, there are more mysteries, but Zhuang Xiao is not sad at all. Instead, he has a smile on his face.

There are too many unknowns in the past and the road ahead is confusing.

But although there are still many mysteries now, he seems to see the way forward.

How should I put it? It’s like when you fight a boss and finally let him see his health bar.

In this way, his mentality naturally relaxed a lot.

The mountain that had been weighing on his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

So refreshing!
After stretching, Zhuang Xiao sent a message to Gu Shiyue to report that he was safe, and then called Secretary Zhang to ask her to find a few people to look after the security guard.

Then he went to bed with Dong Zeyu.

When he woke up, it was already noon. He found that everything was normal and the security guard did not run away, so he called Gu Shiyue.

Gu Shiyue answered the call quickly, "I'm awake."

"Yeah, I'm awake." Zhuang Xiao smiled and said, "Is everything okay over there?"

"It's nothing serious. Xiaodie is sleeping late." Gu Shiyue said calmly, "I'll go call her."

The phone was not hung up, but more than ten seconds later, Gu Shiyue's voice sounded again, which made Zhuang Xiao's heart tighten, "Xiaodie can't be woken up."

"Can't wake him up?" Zhuang Xiao frowned slightly, "Is he unconscious?"

"Her vital signs were all normal, and she was talking in her sleep, telling you to run and leave her alone, but I couldn't wake her up no matter what I did."

".I understand. I will arrange for a medical team to go to your place immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xiao walked out of the bathroom and said to Secretary Zhang who was waiting in the living room: "Secretary Zhang, please arrange for a medical team to go to Xiaodie immediately."

Secretary Zhang didn't ask why, but nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll contact you later if I need anything." Zhuang Xiao pointed at the security guard and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him. Food and drink are provided as usual, but he is not allowed to go out. Be careful. He may have other problems."

Secretary Zhang nodded slightly, "I understand."

Then she walked up to the security guard and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Sir, please."

Looking at the several big men around who were eyeing him eagerly, the security guard smiled bitterly and raised his hands, "Don't worry, I will be obedient."

Anyway, he has already leaked too much information and has nothing else to think about now.

As for finding a way to escape and then go back to report the news.
Zhuang Xiao is right. With such little salary a month, why would he risk his life for such a long time?

Besides, even if he reports it, he will most likely still be punished. Dismissal might be the lightest punishment, and he may even have to pay compensation.

He has no money to compensate.

It would be better to just obey and cooperate, maybe you can get away with it. After they all left, Dong Zeyu looked Zhuang Xiao up and down, "Brother Zhuang, judging from your expression. Did you gain anything?"

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "You can see that too?"

"Of course. You always looked worried and sad before, but now you look much more relaxed. That means you must have gained something." Dong Zeyu shrugged.

He is a "master of Zhuang".

"Really." Zhuang Xiao was happy. "Let's go. We still have a lot of things to do today."

Dong Zeyu simply went to get his shoes and ran to the sofa to put them on while asking, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

"To verify whether my discovery yesterday was correct." Zhuang Xiao replied.

The information in the secret room in the basement of the hospital said that people would be targeted only when they were aware of the nature of the "world" or were close to the "truth".

Then he might be targeted because of this.

It is also possible that "passages" may be hidden in places where "accidents" may happen!
Then Zhuang Xiao began to think.

Is there a place he knows that has both an "underground secret room" and the possibility of triggering an "accident"?

Moreover, this place may also be the "passage" to the "shadow world"!
Don't say it, there really is!

So Zhuang Xiao thought of two places.

The underground secret room in the administrative building of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School!
The basement of an abandoned chicken farm warehouse!
Is it really just a coincidence?

However, the underground secret room in Dongfang No. 1 Middle School in this timeline does not exist. After all, the original secret room was created by An Lan.

In this timeline, she died as a child, so naturally she had no chance to do that.

However, those basements that serve as "passages" should be less than 100 meters.

Zhuang Xiao plans to go and take a look.

"Brother Zhuang, you haven't told me where we are going."

Zhuang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Go to Dongfang No. 1 Middle School."

An "accident" had already occurred at that place early last night, so it's safe all day!
"okay!"

Jian Duanjie said that the two of them soon arrived at Dongfang No. 1 Middle School.

They were not allowed to enter the school at first, but after Dong Zeyu revealed his identity, the security guard let them in.

The two went straight to the administration building.

The school is in class at the moment and there are not many people in the administration building.

Arriving at the door of the logistics office, Zhuang Xiaoxian knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Then Zhuang Xiao put his hand on the door handle and turned it, and the door opened.

He exchanged a glance with Dong Zeyu, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Dong Zeyu was keeping watch at the door while Zhuang Xiao looked around.

Everything is fine in this office.

So he went straight to the cabinet against the wall without hesitation, squatted down, then opened the bottom glass door and reached in to feel around.

After a few seconds, he couldn't help but smile.

There is no lock like the previous secret room here, but there is an additional nine-square combination lock.

So now the question is, whose birthday is the password to open this combination lock?
Zhuang Xiao took out his cell phone and called Secretary Zhang, "Secretary Zhang, please help me find out who is the person in charge of the logistics department of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School. Find out his date of birth and tell me."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Ten minutes later, Secretary Zhang called back.

"The person in charge of the logistics department is Wang Meng, born on September 1988, 9."

Zhuang Xiao immediately entered "19880901" on the nine-square grid.

But there was no response from anyone around.

Not this password?

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Xiao immediately called Secretary Zhang again, "Please help me check the birth dates of Xu Guoping and his son Xu Qicheng."

A few minutes later, Secretary Zhang immediately sent him the birth dates of Xu Guoping and his son.

徐国平的出生日期是“1956年11月30日”，徐启成的出生日期是“1985年6月18日”。

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xiaoxian entered "19561130", but this password was still wrong.

So he entered "19850618" again, and this time, he heard the mechanical sound of mechanical gears turning and transmitting.

I saw the iron cabinet slowly move away, and then a square entrance with a diameter of less than two meters appeared underneath.

This entrance was not in the "previous" underground chamber area, but on the ground closer to the middle of the wall.

Zhuang Xiao hesitated for a moment and climbed down the ladder on the wall.

He went down about ten meters before he entered a space.

This space is a room with a diameter of three meters. The room is wrapped in the same alloy as the hospital basement. On one wall are two elevator doors. At the same time, there are light sources from unknown sources around that illuminate the entire space.

Zhuang Xiao came to the elevator door and pressed the button, and the elevator door slowly opened.

Zhuang Xiao glanced inside and found that there was no surveillance camera in the elevator car.

So Zhuang Xiao entered the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed, but Zhuang Xiao did not notice the down button. The buttons that should have been the floor buttons were also arranged in a nine-square grid.

Zhuang Xiao then entered "19850618" again, and the elevator responded and began to descend.

Zhuang Xiao silently calculated the time and speed in his mind.

When the elevator stopped, Zhuang Xiao nodded slightly.

The elevator descended about ninety meters. If you add the ten meters, the distance from the ground here is about a hundred meters.

As the elevator door opened, Zhuang Xiao came to a place that was almost the same size and style as the hospital's underground secret room.

There was also a pile of documents nailed to the wall opposite the elevator.

Zhuang Xiao saw the personal information above.

"Teacher Xu Qicheng, you are also a 'scavenger'."

Zhuang Xiao was in mixed feelings at the moment.

Teacher Xu's situation is the first one, and this is the second one.
If it has been verified here, is there such a place underground in an abandoned chicken farm in the suburbs?
But if there really is one there, who would that person be?
Shu Die? Gu Shiyue? Dong Zeyu?

Or is it the missing Dong Weirui?

Or is it my own parents? Or Shudie's parents?
Zhuang Xiao was silent for a moment, then turned around and prepared to leave.

You'll know who it is when you get there.
