Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 308 Research
Han Zhou didn't know whether the world line suddenly changed and new world rules were created, or whether he accidentally discovered a secret hidden by the world.

He only knew one thing - tonight's anomaly was definitely related to Xiao Xiaoxiao.

The reason why I think this is because just ten minutes ago, a temporary task was suddenly posted on the status bar.

"The temporary mission has been started. Please explore the current area before the target character Xiao Xiaoxiao wakes up."

There was no detailed explanation and no mission reward. Han Zhou didn't even know what to explore. He only knew that this mission had a time limit, which was "before Xiao Xiaoxiao wakes up."

If he still couldn't be sure that Xiao Xiaoxiao had a problem, then Han Zhou felt that he might have to throw away his brain and really be Xiao Xiaoxiao's leg up for the rest of his life.

He was originally planning to wake up Xiao Xiaoxiao, because he vaguely guessed that the current situation might be related to this guy's extreme sleepiness, but since the status bar gave a prompt, he was willing to give it a try and planned to obey the status bar. Use the directions to explore around.

At this time, he had just returned to the fifth floor of the unfinished building. He had checked the upper floors and found nothing abnormal.

The only thing worth paying attention to is the eighth floor, which seems to have traces of human activity, and there are still some water stains on the ground.

When Han Zhou went upstairs before, he was mainly looking for traces of Zhang Tao and others. He acted in a hurry and didn't spend much time paying attention to his surroundings. So now he spent more time and patiently checked the fifth floor, and even walked to the fifth floor. I searched the stairs on the other side carefully, but I didn't find any useful clues.

The same goes for the fourth floor.

Returning to the third floor, this is where Zhang Tao and others disappeared. He had already checked it carefully before going upstairs, so he did not waste too much time. He walked in a hurry and paid special attention to the place where Zhang Tao and others had been. He checked to see if there were any left footprints on the ground. Seeing that he found nothing, he had no choice but to go to the second floor.

Han Zhou murmured in his heart. Since the status bar gave a task prompt, it meant that some clues should be found somewhere. However, he had already searched almost the entire floor, but still couldn't find anything useful. information.

If nothing was found on the second and first floors, then he would have no choice but to wake Xiao Xiaoxiao up and see if anything would change.

Speaking of Xiao Xiaoxiao, this guy has been quite calm since he came downstairs. I don't know if he fell asleep.

Han Zhou was thoughtful, wondering whether it was better to wake Xiao Xiaoxiao or let him fall asleep completely, while carefully exploring the second and first floors.

However, what disappointed him was that after searching carefully, he still found nothing.

So what exactly does the status bar want him to explore?
Han Zhou was puzzled. He was about to dig through the entire unfinished building. Unless something useful was hidden under the ground, or the thing had legs, there was no way he wouldn't find anything.

Wait...long legs?
Han Zhou found that he seemed to have overlooked one thing.

He turned to look at Xiao Xiaoxiao on his back. At this moment, the girl's eyes were closed and her expression was peaceful. If she hadn't muttered a few words from time to time, everyone might have thought that she had fallen asleep.

But she didn't fall asleep.

Han Zhou could feel that the other person's arm was wrapping around his neck very hard, as if he was afraid that he would fall off his body.

"Xiao Xiao?" he called softly.

Although a little slow, Xiao Xiaoxiao still responded with a vague voice: "What are you doing?"

"Have you been here before?"

"Where is this place?"

"Unfinished building."

"Oh... nonsense, of course not. This is my first time here."

"Have you ever seen pictures of this place before?"

"The first time I learned about this place was on your phone. Don't you know what photos I saw on your phone?" Xiao Xiaoxiao said with resentment.

Han Zhou was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully, "I understand."

"Know what?"

Han Zhou didn't answer. He found a clean place and put Xiao Xiaoxiao down from behind, letting her sit against the load-bearing wall. Then he picked up the flashlight and looked at the petite girl condescendingly.

As if his eyes were irritated by the bright light of the flashlight, Xiao Xiaoxiao frowned: "What are you doing? Where did my legs go?"

"He's on strike for now."

Han Zhou answered casually, thought for a while and reminded, "Xiaoxiao, you should also understand that you have many problems."

Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded his head as if pecking at rice, looking drowsy: "Of course I know! Call my leg over quickly and ask... let him not strike..." "Can you not be old?" He grabbed his leg and refused to let go..." Han Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "I have been carrying you since the beginning."

Xiao Xiaoxiao was silent, a snot bubble slowly emerged from his nose, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not.

Han Zhou: "..."

He said seriously: "Listen, Xiaoxiao, this is a rare opportunity. I suspect that you may have a key item hidden in your body that makes you abnormal, so..."

He took a deep breath and spoke firmly.

"I plan to study you carefully."

……

"I think I know why you put on those sunglasses again."

The sky was gray, and fine raindrops drifted in the wind and fell on the dark umbrella.

The rainwater slid down the umbrella eaves, breaking into tiny drops on the already damp ground.

The handle of the umbrella is held by a slender hand wearing a goose-yellow glove. The line of sight extends along the palm, and you can see the long black hair, the white mask and peaked cap, and the smiling eyes under the brim of the hat. .

Under the eaves directly opposite the girl is a tall and thin boy who is still wearing sunglasses on a rainy day. The sunglasses are not too dark. If you look closely, you can see the bruise on his right eye under the sunglasses.

Noila Mo put away her umbrella, walked naturally under the eaves, stood side by side with Han Zhou, and said unhurriedly, "Any girl who hears you say such words in a sleepy state will probably give you an angry One punch, and it’s pretty good that she doesn’t accuse you of sexual harassment.”

Han Zhou took the umbrella from Noila Mo, shook the water and put it in the corner, and handed over a cup of steaming milk tea. He didn't care about the strange looks from passers-by and sighed: "You should know that's not what I meant. "

"Of course, but she's not me."

Noila Mo inserted the straw into the cup and stirred it gently, "I would not be willing to do anything to you, but would cooperate with your research... So what are the results of the research?"

Han Zhou shook his head. The fine raindrops in front of his eyes seemed like his messy thoughts at the moment: "Just like what was said on the phone, I don't remember anything. I can't remember anything later. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital. ”

"Although I think you already know it very well, I still want to remind you again that what you said is completely different from what I know. According to the live broadcast that day, you and Xiao Xiaoxiao finally disappeared on the stairs on the first floor after briefly disappearing. The whole process took less than three minutes, which is not enough time for you to go to the top floor and then return to the first floor.”

"I know, everyone said the same thing as you."

Han Zhou had a headache. "The doctor suspected that I rolled down the first floor with Xiaoxiao, which is why I fell into a temporary coma. This is also the reason for the bruise on my right eye."

Today is Sunday, and the soul-searching live broadcast happened a few days ago.

During the live broadcast that night, Zhang Tao and others suddenly disappeared, leaving only Han Zhou and Xiao Xiaoxiao. Han Zhou guessed that the "exploration" referred to in the task prompt on the status bar was actually exploring Xiao Xiaoxiao himself. After all, Xiao Xiaoxiao Many of the places she appeared in were "haunted" and the scenes kept changing. The only thing that remained unchanged was her.

Therefore, either there is something wrong with Xiao Xiaoxiao, or there is something wrong with something on her body.

Han Zhou was about to take a look at what was on Xiao Xiaoxiao's body, but who knew that the guy suddenly went berserk and punched him in the face. Logically speaking, the guy's strength was not enough to knock him out, but The strange thing is that after the punch, Han Zhou completely lost his memory. When he opened his eyes again, he and Xiao Xiaoxiao were already in the hospital.

Both of them were fine, just unconscious for a few hours. However, except for Xiao Xiaoxiao, everyone had completely different perceptions from Han Zhou, saying that they were the ones who disappeared that night. Zhang Tao and others struggled to find him for three minutes. Find the two of them.

It is said that during this process, they saw two sneaky shadows upstairs, emitting a faint fluorescent light, and they were suspected of being ghosts lingering in the unfinished building.

Han Zhou asked Xiao Xiaoxiao, but unfortunately, like him, Xiao Xiaoxiao also didn't remember what happened after the punch. He just called him a gangster angrily and almost gave him a panda eye in his left eye.

The two discussed it for a long time afterwards, but they still couldn't figure it out. They only knew that the problem must lie in their disappeared memory.

Han Zhou had doubted whether there was something wrong with his and Xiao Xiaoxiao's cognition. Maybe they just had the same dream, but he quickly gave up this suspicion.

Perhaps because he has a different perception from the public, he believes that many things in the world will go wrong, but the probability of something going wrong is very small.

That's the status bar.

After investigation, after that night, there was an obvious change in the status bar.

It turned out that out of nearly two hundred points... only a little was left.
