Han Zhou pondered, if this place and reality are similar to a parallel world, does that mean that in reality, there is also such a scene in the villa next to them? Or even a crew is filming a horror movie?
If this is true, then it can explain the terrifying woman that Teacher Ouyang saw at night...
He suddenly felt enlightened. Seeing that there was no danger, he tentatively reached out his hand to the wall in front of him, and sure enough, he went through it again.
Entering the villa, the feeling of being hit by the heavy rain suddenly disappeared, but the wet and sticky feeling was really uncomfortable. He endured the discomfort and walked slowly forward while looking around the scene in the villa.
"It turns out they are filming a horror movie..."
The room was decorated with some horrific props such as severed limbs. Just by looking at the crude workmanship, one could tell that the crew shooting this movie was indeed short of money.
Han Zhou's original intention was not to analyze whether the crew had money. He mainly wanted to see if there was any trace of Xiao Xiaoxiao in the villa. However, after searching for a while, all he could see were these rough props.
Just then, he suddenly heard some noise upstairs, and his expression became serious. Considering that Xiao Xiaoxiao would hide from him like she did just now, he immediately ran upstairs as fast as he could.
However, the noise just now was separated by a floor, and he was not sure where the sound came from. After arriving on the second floor, he first glanced in the direction of the corridor, then used the "wall-penetrating technique" to directly drill into the room closest to the stairs, and then rushed forward with the ability to penetrate walls, searching the rooms along the way one by one -
Walking through the door is too slow, it would be much faster to find Xiao Xiaoxiao this way.
During this period, he had actually figured out a lot of things.
Han Zhou remembered very clearly that when he was alone in the kitchen tonight, he clearly did not make any sound, but everyone was convinced that they heard him shout "Fuck!"
He was very sure that he did not make such a sound at that time, but just now, he did shout "Fuck" in the kitchen.
In other words, what Mo Yixia and others heard at that time was most likely the sound he had just made.
In other words, we heard voices from the past and from the future.
This seems to be the case on the surface, but if we consider the wall clock in the villa's lobby which is two hours slow, this conclusion may need to be revised.
The real fact should be "he went back to the past from the present."
Although it cannot explain why the villa was empty after going back to the past, this is obviously a more reasonable explanation.
Something similar seemed to have happened during the last night exploration of the unfinished building. It was said that the other people who were exploring the unfinished building at the time heard strange noises. Now that he thought about it, the noises those people heard might have been caused by him and Xiao Xiaoxiao.
The two arrived in the past from the future, and although others could not see them, they could hear the sounds they made.
Of course, there are still many inexplicable aspects of this speculation. For example, from the perspective of time, the time when he and Xiao Xiaoxiao disappeared and the time when other people heard the strange noises were actually roughly the same. If we have to divide the past and the future, the difference is probably only a few minutes, which is far less than the two-hour time span this time.
For example, when they were at the unfinished building, he and Xiao Xiaoxiao chatted with each other after they disappeared, and although other people said they heard some noises that sounded like human voices, no one suggested that they were their voices.
But this time it was different. Except for himself, everyone else could be sure that it was his voice that they heard at that time, even though they were not far away from each other.
"Could it be because I didn't go back to the past with Xiao Xiaoxiao this time, but used points to come here? The former is sneaking, while the latter is a real payment, so the signal is much better?"
Han Zhou thought about it and this was the only explanation he could think of.
In addition, he also developed richer associations.
Assuming that the time when Xiao Xiaoxiao and I disappeared consumed zero points, this time it consumed 147 points. Zero points can only push the time forward a few minutes, while 107 points can push the time forward two hours.
If we calculate it this way, is there a possibility that...
As the number of points consumed increases, the time that can be pushed forward will also become longer and longer?
In other words, if he spends enough points, can he go back to a year ago, ten years ago, or even to any time point in the past he wants to go to?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 385 "You will feel guilty if you ask"
Han Zhou gathered his thoughts which were gradually wandering.
Traveling back in time does sound like an intriguing thing.
But his kind of time travel is different from going back to the past in the conventional sense. Only himself can travel through time, and there is no way to reverse time. Moreover, every time he travels through time, there is no one around him. He cannot change the past, and he cannot even return to the original time point with his memories. It can be said to be quite useless.
However, it cannot be said that the past cannot be changed at all. At least sound can be transmitted, which can have an impact on the past. I just don’t know if there are any restrictions. Otherwise, if we can know the exact time and place, then maybe we can transmit messages across time and space...
Of course, this kind of thing is difficult to achieve. After all, Han Zhou himself cannot control the exact time to go back to the past, not to mention that few people can remember a key time node in the past. Unless these two conditions can be met at the same time, cross-time and space transmission can only exist in concept.
What's more, he couldn't be completely sure for the time being that he had really returned to the past.
However, if I really went back to the past, and going back to the past can indeed have a certain impact on the surrounding environment, then the reason why the girls' dormitory has been haunted for a long time can be explained.
The reason why the girls' dormitory is rumored to be haunted is simply because some people frequently hear strange noises, such as footsteps and voices, but they never see any human figures.
And if Xiao Xiaoxiao falls into a half-asleep state and then briefly goes back to the past, she can make these noises unconsciously and forget the memory afterwards. Even if she has any impression, she will just think she is dreaming.
Han Zhou felt that this could be a direction for thinking.
Of course, there is still a lot to figure out if we want to be completely sure of this guess.
For example, why did Xiao Xiaoxiao never disappear when she was in the dormitory?
She could go back to the past in a half-awake state, so how did she get back to the present?
If this is an ability only possessed by the status bar, then why did she get the same ability?
Could it be that the reason why he and Xiao Xiaoxiao had a sense of déjà vu was because they had met in the past and lost the memory at the same time after returning to the present?
Han Zhou felt that he had figured out a lot of things, but with that came more questions.
He was very fast, but it took him some time to pass through the wall each time. Therefore, it took him half a minute to check all the rooms. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find Xiao Xiaoxiao.
The guy seemed to be avoiding him intentionally.
However, Han Zhou was sure that Xiao Xiaoxiao must be hiding in these two villas.
He remembered that the last time he looked out from the upstairs of the unfinished building, he saw that everything around him was gray, as if there was no space. Therefore, he thought that this ability to travel through time might have a limitation, that is, it could only move within a limited space with a small radius, with the position before "falling asleep" as the center of the circle.
He didn't plan to verify this for the time being, because even if his guess was wrong, the world was so big, as long as Xiao Xiaoxiao wanted to hide, he would not be able to find her.
Han Zhou had a headache. It was a pity that Xiao Xiaoxiao was not an unlockable character, otherwise he could use the 'Unlockable Character Detector' to find her.
But it’s strange. Guzheng Mo Yixia and other unlockable characters cannot be treated so favorably by the status bar. Why does Xiao Xiaoxiao have such a deep connection with the status bar?
Could it be that this guy is actually the previous owner of the status bar?
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Han Zhou's mind.
However, he quickly overturned this speculation. After all, the status bar is only interested in beautiful girls with good looks. If Xiao Xiaoxiao is really the previous owner of the status bar, then wouldn't she be dating a group of girls?
Or maybe the status bar actually shows the type of player you want to be, with male hosts asking for pretty girls and female hosts asking for handsome guys?
While Han Zhou was daydreaming, he turned back and rechecked all the rooms on the second floor. When he passed the room near the stairs, he suddenly had an idea that the bed in this room was higher, so he bent down and took a look under the bed, but unfortunately he still found nothing.
When I find that guy, I will definitely beat her up. Anyway, she will have no memory when she returns...
He sighed, opened the door and left the room, slammed the door shut, and went downstairs to search.
……
The moment he saw the hideous face, the director was ready to die.
He closed his eyes in despair, and his mind uncontrollably recalled every detail of the past, from a rebellious boy in childhood to a steady director now. He only regretted that God was jealous of his talent. If he had enough time, why would he not be able to leave his name in film history?
It turns out that when a person's life comes to an end, they will really see a revolving lantern...
A tear rolled down the director's eye.
The director of a horror film died at the hands of a ghost. Is that a kind of recognition?
But... I still feel unwilling to accept this.
The vast sky is so thin...
"Director, what are you doing lying here?"
The director was lamenting the unfairness of fate when he suddenly heard Xiao Liu's puzzled voice.
His whole body stiffened, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he opened his eyes in disbelief.
The terrifying, hideous face was still in front of me, but it looked more and more familiar.
"Xiao Liu?"
"It's me, the director. I saw you running upstairs by yourself. I was a little worried about you, so I went upstairs to look for you."
Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed. Seeing the director's complicated expression, he realized it belatedly and quickly covered his face, apologizing repeatedly, "Sorry, Director, I forgot to cover my face again..."
"No, it's okay!"
The director's nose suddenly felt sore and he quickly shook his head and said, "No need to block it, I think you are very beautiful now!"
He never expected that Xiao Liu would be the first one to go upstairs to look for him even though he knew there was a ghost. He had always been very strict with this girl, but he didn't expect that she cared so much about his safety...
"Is it pretty?" Xiao Liu said anxiously, "But I put on such scary makeup, I shouldn't be pretty... Are you trying to say that my acting is too bad?"
"No, that's not what I meant. You are such a fool."
The director didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had always thought that this guy was stupid, but now he actually thought he was a little cute.
Xiao Liu didn't understand what was going on, but suddenly noticed that the director's eyes were a little wet, and asked in surprise: "Director, are you crying?"
"Well, I'm a little touched that you came up to see me." The director said a little embarrassedly.
"Really? I thought you were crying because of fear." Xiao Liu recalled for a moment, "I just heard you say something about the vast heavens, how..."
"Shut up!"
The director's face turned red, and in order to prevent his toes from continuing to touch the ground, he quickly stopped the other party from continuing.
"Oh..." Xiao Liu lowered his head weakly.
Seeing the other party's aggrieved look, the director couldn't help but feel a little guilty, thinking that this was a girl who was not afraid of ghosts because she cared about his safety. No matter what, he shouldn't have scolded her in such a harsh tone. His expression gradually softened.
However, before he could say anything, he saw a dark shadow suddenly emerge from the wall on his right.
He was suddenly frightened. It was that ghost!
The black shadow entered the room without any hesitation and walked straight to the bed, obviously wanting to catch both people in the room in one fell swoop.
The director was horrified and quickly crawled out of the bed, but it was easier to get in than to climb out. Even though he had used all his strength, he still crawled very slowly and there was no way he could get out from under the bed before the shadow arrived.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, his eyes suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Xiao Liu, go! Don't worry about me! I'll stop it!"
Since Xiao Liu treats him with sincerity, he must also be sincere in return to be considered a man!
"Okay director, then you be careful!"
Xiao Liu's voice came from far outside the door.
The director was stunned, and then he noticed that Xiao Liu had escaped from the room the moment the black shadow appeared.
