My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 53: I broke out in a cold sweat (Thanks to the helmsman who I like Xu Song)
"What's going on? Please explain it clearly." Shu Mingyu's tone became much more serious.

"I know Uncle Shu, you may not believe it, but I encountered a situation of 'time travel'."

Due to time constraints, Zhuang Xiao briefly explained the situation.

Shu Mingyu was silent for a long time after listening to this before he spoke, "It's really hard to believe, but I know you're not the kind of kid who likes to talk nonsense, so what's your plan?"

Zhuang Xiao told him about his plan to visit the abandoned chicken farm and about Luo Wei's group of four.

"Well, so you suspect that there is something wrong with Xu Guoping, and you plan to go there at night to see if you can find the 'secret'?" Shu Mingyu asked.

"Yes, because I still don't understand the reason for 'time reversal'." Zhuang Xiao explained: "But I think it must be related to that 'secret'."

"Then have you ever thought about this question?" Shu Mingyu did not say that Zhuang Xiao might have hallucinations because of the heavy study pressure in the third year of high school, but analyzed rationally, "What if you died at night?"

Zhuang Xiao was stunned and speechless.

He really hadn't thought about this problem.

"You have to consider a lot of things, such as if you die, do you just go back in time or really die like that?

"And you have to understand how terrifying it is to go back to the past. If you could live your life over again, how many dignitaries would want to have this ability? What do you think would happen to you if it were exposed?
"Take a step back and say, what if other people have this ability? How can you be sure that only you can go back in time? Or to put it bluntly, since you can't determine the triggering cause of the "time reversal", is it possible that someone else went back in time, and you just happened to have the memory before the reversal?

"Or to put it more horribly, what if all this is just your hallucination? How can you be sure it's real?"

Zhuang Xiao was silent.

Indeed, he was changing the past, not going to the future.

If we could go to the future, it would be easy to confirm.

Either something that existed in the past can still be found in the future, that is, something in the "dream" becomes "reality".

Or someone or something completely unfamiliar to him appears.

Because it is impossible for something that a person does not understand at all to appear in his dreams. Even if there is something similar, it should exist in his subconscious mind or knowledge reserve.

But the problem now is that he is going back to the past, not towards the future.

Another point is even more uncertain, because he has gone back in time so many times, and the people who appear in his cognition are all people he knows.

The first problem has a solution, the second one does not yet.

But he didn't want to dwell on it. "Uncle Shu, you're right. But I'm not going back to the past and letting time pass normally. I'm going back to eight years later at a certain point. I don't have time to think about that."

If he falls into the "brain in a vat" theory, there is basically no solution and he can just lie down and wait to die.

And it is very simple to confirm whether it is true or not. He just needs to find a place, dig a hole and bury something, and then dig it out eight years later.

"I understand. Don't worry. I just want to tell you that risking your life is the worst thing to do."

Shu Mingyu thought for a moment and then said, "Well, listen to me. Never tell anyone about the 'time travel back' thing again, so that no one can cause trouble for you. Secondly, this will also prevent other possible 'time travel backers' from discovering your existence."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "Can't Xiaodie and the others tell me either?"

He had planned to tell them the truth after school in the evening.

"There's no need. If they accidentally tell others about it, something bad will happen." Shu Mingyu denied Zhuang Xiao's idea.

But Zhuang Xiao was not angry.

Uncle Shu is now the head of Shushi Group. Zhuang Xiaoguang feels his scalp tingling just thinking about the internal intrigues he went through before he succeeded in taking over.

Anyway, this uncle who has watched him grow up is definitely not as kind as he appears.

Besides, if he really wanted to go back to the past, he believed that Uncle Shu was the one he wanted the most.

Because if he could go back to the past, he would have a chance to save Shu Die's mother.

But Uncle Shu didn't mention this matter. When Zhuang Xiao thinks about it now, he actually feels a little scared.

It is indeed thanks to others' reminder, otherwise a big mistake might have happened in the future. Even if he would not be sliced, his personal freedom would be restricted to a certain extent if he had to cooperate with various experiments.

He could understand it, but he didn't want to accept it.

Besides, the existence of that text message does make it possible for other people to "go back in time".

But Zhuang Xiao still felt that it was inappropriate, "But how can we know the 'secret' in this way?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"But Xiaodie and the others are in danger." "Just keep them away, isn't that what you want?"

Shu Mingyu asked him back, "Or, how do you know for sure that the 'secret' is related to your 'time travel'?"

"I'm not sure. I even think there may be no connection." Zhuang Xiao replied.

"That's it. I will do my best to get all four of you transferred to Beijing after the New Year's Day holiday. Don't worry about the affairs of that school. This way, even if someone else encounters a similar thing, it will be someone else who dies." Shu Mingyu stated his solution.

"Isn't this a bad idea? After all, those are innocent lives."

"That's true, but I only care about you. Others have their own lives." Shu Mingyu was very calm.

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled. "Uncle Shu, can't you intervene in this matter? For example, use your influence to ask the police to check the school or directly demolish the school or something like that."

"My influence? What influence do I have?" Shu Mingyu found it funny. "Xiao Zhuang, you are too kind, which is good, but you are also a little naive.

“Let’s not talk about the fact that I’m just a businessman. Even if I have influence on the government, it’s limited to where my group is located. The most I can say is that I can increase investment in Luoyang, but you’re overthinking about how it will affect the police.

"Or let me put it more clearly. I can bring people to the school under the pretext of an inspection, and then what? According to what you said, even if the 'secret' is not exposed after eight years, I don't think a simple inspection can find out the 'secret'. Maybe the 'secret' will not exist after eight years or will be moved away.

"What you need to do is to stay away from possible dangers and live a good life. If something happens to you, how can I explain to your parents?"

"But I might go back to eight years later tonight, and I won't have any memory of the eight years in between." Zhuang Xiao explained: "For me, this is not a parallel world, but more like everyone else has traveled through time, but I haven't."

"You're worried that you'll be back to where you are now in eight years, right?"

"Correct."

"Do you think the reason you returned to the present was the death of someone close to you?"

"Correct."

"Isn't this enough?"

"what?"

"You all came to the capital to study, away from possible dangers. Everyone will be alive by then, so why would you trigger the flashback? Even if it did trigger again, it means it has nothing to do with the people around you."

When Zhuang Xiao thought about it, it seemed to be true.

He is getting a little too obsessed.

But if other innocent people were killed, he would indeed feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was the one who killed them.

But compared to the safety of those close to me, I can’t care about such things.

In the several flashbacks, the people who died were all those close to him, so no one else should die, right?
He had no choice but to comfort himself in this way.

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao suddenly had an idea and said, "Oh, Uncle Shu! DouX will be very powerful in the future! It's best to acquire them now before they become too big! And those companies that are planning to develop new energy vehicles! Remember to leave some shares for me in the future!"

"Okay, kid. I get it. But don't hold your hopes too high. The company may not be sold, and those promising unicorn companies are being watched by people. Let me think of a way."

Shu Mingyu laughed, and then solemnly instructed, "Okay, you study hard, I'll treat you to a meal after New Year's Day, or you can come to see me eight years later. Remember, no matter whether it's true or not, don't tell anyone about the 'time travel' thing!"

"I understand, Uncle Shu."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels so good to have a reliable elder around.

Uncle Shu was right, he had been stuck in this vicious circle.

In fact, there will be no danger as long as you stay away from the so-called "secrets".

Then he doesn't have to worry about anything else. Just take Shu Die and the others away from danger tonight like last time.

But unlike last time, tomorrow is the New Year's Day holiday, and after New Year's Day, they will go directly to Beijing to go to school.

Then everything will be over.

Now there was one last thing for him to do.

That is. Go to the abandoned chicken farm and confirm whether the things left by Uncle Shu and Dad are still there and whether they can be used.

　Thanks for the tip! I'll thank you at the end of the month!
　　We have to work on the planning proposal quickly!
