"go back!"
As expected, Mo Xiaole knew she would definitely go back, which is why she prepared these things.
After searching around without finding the key to the box, Yuewu decided to force it open.
She found many different kinds of stones, a notebook, and a photo album inside the box.
Upon seeing the stones, Yuewu thought that Mo Xiaole might also be looking for a space stone, but the stones in the box were clearly not the same; they were too beautiful and had no resemblance to the stone full of holes.
I casually flipped through the photo album, and it was full of selfies of Mo Xiaole in different places, many of which were places that Le Wu had longed to visit but had never been.
Well, tears of envy welled up in my eyes.
She then opened the notebook, which recorded everything that happened each time Mo Xiaole came here, and Le Wu instantly became extremely alert.

1:27 AM, March 5th
I woke up to complete darkness.
I remember having dinner at Kaixin Snack Shop yesterday evening.
This restaurant gets really crowded every Friday because the food is delicious and they have discounts on Fridays, so everyone comes to patronize it, including me.
I especially love their braised pork intestine rice. The intestines are soft and tender, very clean, and the aroma lingers after each bite. The portion is also quite generous. I mix the rice with the broth, and I always finish every last bit. After the discount, it only costs 19 yuan, which is a great deal.
Halfway through the meal, it suddenly started raining heavily.
Many people think that since the weather forecast didn't predict rain, it should stop soon.
But to my surprise, as time went by, the rain not only didn't stop, but it got even heavier.
Some people had to brave the rain to get home. At first, some were able to hail a ride, but later no matter how they tried, no ride-hailing app would accept their orders.
Because it wasn't far from home, I chose to go back in the rain. The raindrops were huge, so big that I couldn't open my eyes when they hit me, and they hurt a bit when they hit my body.
Unexpectedly, when I was halfway there, a car suddenly stopped next to me, and the driver said he would take me home.
I felt a little embarrassed, since I was soaked from the rain and getting into the car would definitely wet other people's cars.
But that person said the rain was getting heavier and the roads were difficult to travel, so taking a car home would be faster.
So, I hitched a ride home.
Thinking about that person's luxury car, expensive watch, and good looks, I thought to myself, "He deserves to be rich."
When I woke up at noon the next day, it was still raining, the roads were flooded, and the authorities had issued a red alert for heavy rain.
Many people got sick because of the rain, and so did I; I felt groggy and lethargic.
When I woke up again, I was here.
When I first arrived here, I was confused and wanted to know why things were like this, but whenever I tried to think about it more deeply, my head would start to hurt.
Furthermore, I've found that the more I think about something, the more blurred my memories of the past become.
So I immediately found a notebook and wrote down what I remembered.
It was probably a subconscious act, an attempt to fight against my brain, but after I finished writing, I started to feel unwell and had to go back to bed.

I woke up again at night on March 11th.
I still don't remember where this place is, but it feels strangely familiar.
I bought some things at the small supermarket downstairs today and was heading home when I noticed someone following me the whole way. I felt very uneasy and kept speeding up.
Because of three consecutive days of torrential rain, the food at home is almost gone, and I also got sick from being caught in the rain, so I haven't been feeling well. Today, I forced myself to come to the supermarket to buy some food.
As I passed a building, I saw through the reflection in the window glass that the person following me was the community security guard.
He's only been here for a little over a month. He's the nephew of the former security guard and lives in the emergency exit of the building closest to the main gate. There's a storage room partitioned off from the corner of the staircase there.
The heavy rain flooded the first floor, so he must have had a tough few days.
I quickened my pace into the building, entered the elevator, and pressed the close button.
Seeing that he didn't follow them in, they breathed a sigh of relief.
I never expected that he would remember my floor. In the middle of the night, the door was unlocked, and the security guard came to my bedside and began to take off his clothes.
I heard a rustling sound, woke up, turned my head and saw a figure, and screamed in fright.
He panicked for a moment, then pounced on me, desperately covering my mouth with his other hand and choking my neck.
Because the security guard used a lot of force, my voice became weaker and weaker.
But I also know that if I don't try to break free, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, despite the pain, I desperately tried to gouge his eyes out with my hands.
But the more I struggled, the more ruthless the security guard became. During this process, I gradually lost my breath and my vision began to go black.
When I opened my eyes, I was back in this house that was both strange and familiar.
But because I was so frightened, I didn't notice that the surrounding scene had changed. I only knew that it was still night, so I immediately took out my phone and called the police.
The police couldn't match the address I gave, so they asked if I had been drinking.
It was only then that I began to look around and realized that this was not where I used to live. I quickly apologized to the police and then calmed down.
I seemed to remember that there was a very important notebook in my mind, so I started looking for it and finally found it in the very corner of the bookshelf.
The document recorded my previous experience, along with a reminder to write it down as soon as possible, otherwise my memory would become hazy. So I didn't stop and quickly started writing down this experience.
I barely finished writing when drowsiness struck again, forcing me to put down my pen and return to bed.
***
After reading this diary entry, Yue Wu suddenly remembered that one morning, the police came to her door and said they needed to do some checks. Then they rambled on and on about how someone was trying to harm her.
Because she had just woken up, she was completely confused by what was being said, and could only nod and say "Huh?"
What did you say?
Both police officers were somewhat helpless, but they also noticed that Yue Wu did not smell of alcohol.
After confronting the community security guard, they left once they determined there was no problem.
However, they also offered a final reminder: "Young people shouldn't put too much pressure on themselves; try to think more positively."
Yue Wu, unaware of what was going on, still smiled and nodded.
She felt the only explanation for this misunderstanding was that she had sleepwalked yesterday, something that had never happened before.
After seeing the two policemen off, Yuewu turned to go home.
He saw the security guard smiling at him, revealing a small number of teeth that could be counted on one hand.
He said, "I have no nephews, and all my relatives are gone. Don't worry, girl. If you encounter any danger, just tell me. I've been to the battlefield, and I'll definitely defeat the bad guys."
Le Wu suddenly felt a pang of guilt, and her nose stung with tears. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment, so she could only quickly apologize and explain that she had sleepwalked last night.
Later, I bought some fruit and gave it to the security guard to apologize to him again.
The recollection ends, and the music and dance turn to the third page.
