Rebirth: A big star falls in love with me

When Zhang Yu opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a pure white space.

There is no sky, no ground, no end, only a dizzying white.

He tried to stand up, but found that his body was incredibly light, as if he had lost gravity.

He reached out and touched underneath his body. It felt like some kind of soft gel, but it wouldn't stick to his hands.

"Where is this?" he muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty space.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and he remembered that he had just been busy, staying up late into the night to develop a new elixir.

Then on the way home, it was so quiet there was no sound at all, and then...

A blinding light suddenly lit up, and a piercing noise drowned him. In a trance, he saw some incomparably grand and tiny things.

Could it be that he is already dead?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, it was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Yu turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure walking towards him from a distance.

The figure's outline became clearer and clearer, and his heartbeat quickened - that was clearly another self!

The other person was wearing exactly the same suit and tie as him, and even the little teardrop mole at the corner of his eye was exactly the same.

It’s just that “Zhang Yu” looked more haggard, with darker dark circles under his eyes and a faint bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Here comes another one." The other party said in a hoarse voice, "It seems that it is my turn to be the guide this time."

Zhang Yu subconsciously took a step back: "Who are you?"

"Me?" The other party smiled. "I'm Zhang Yu, just like you. But I came three days earlier than you."

He pointed to his temple. "I know what you are thinking now. You must be wondering if this is the afterlife or if this is a dream. I can tell you that it is neither."

Zhang Yu felt his throat dry: "Then where exactly is this place..."

"This is the 'intersection'." Another Zhang Yu said, "All of us in parallel time and space will meet here.

You know the theory of parallel time and space, right? Every choice will produce a new branch of time and space.

Here, you can meet yourself who makes different choices. "

Zhang Yu's brain was working rapidly: "So you are..."

"I chose to stay with the Zhang Yu in the previous company." The other party shrugged, "I didn't switch to the current company, so I didn't encounter the car accident. But now it seems that the ending is no different."

Zhang Yu noticed that the other person's eyes flickered when he said "car accident".

He was about to ask further when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw another version of himself running towards him, but this "Zhang Yu" looked much younger, wearing casual clothes, with a childish look on his face.

"Run!" young Zhang Yu shouted, "He's chasing us!"

Before he finished speaking, a gunshot broke the silence of the space.

Zhang Yu saw a flower of blood blooming on his younger self’s chest and he fell heavily to the ground.

In the distance, the fourth Zhang Yu was holding a gun with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Another one." Zhang Yu, holding the gun, blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, "Do you know the rules here? In the end, only one Zhang Yu can leave alive. So..." He raised the gun, "Sorry, brothers."

Zhang Yu felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.

He saw that Zhang Yu, the first person he met, had taken out a dagger, and his eyes became sharp.

The threat of death made his brain work rapidly, and he suddenly understood why the other party had such an expression when talking about the "car accident".

This is not a coincidental encounter, but a life-and-death survival game.

Every Zhang Yu who comes here must face countless versions of himself, and only the strongest and most cunning one can survive to the end.

Zhang Yu's breathing became rapid, and he could feel his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Zhang Yu was approaching with a gun, the muzzle of the gun emitting a cold light in the pure white space.

The Zhang Yu who was met first was now clenching his dagger, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"Wait!" Zhang Yu raised his hands. "We don't have to do this! We are all the same person. We can find a way to leave here together!"

"Naive." Zhang Yu sneered with a gun, "Do you think I haven't tried? Here, only one person can get out alive. This is the rule and it cannot be changed."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned the gun and pointed it at Zhang Yu who was holding the dagger.

But the latter seemed to have anticipated this. He dodged the bullet by turning sideways and threw the dagger in his hand at the same time.

The dagger cut through the air and pierced the gunman's wrist with precision.

"Ah!" Zhang Yu, who was holding the gun, felt pain and the gun fell out of his hand. He covered his bleeding wrist with a fierce look in his eyes, "Do you think you can beat me like this?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu noticed that his younger self's "corpse" on the ground suddenly moved.

Before he could remind him, he saw Zhang Yu, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly leap up and pounce on the gunman from behind.

"Go to hell!" the young Zhang Yu roared, with a scalpel in his hand. The blade pierced the gunman's neck accurately.

It all happened so fast that Zhang Yu didn't even have time to react. He watched the two of him wrestling with each other, the blood particularly glaring in the pure white space.

Zhang Yu, the first one they met, took the opportunity to pick up the pistol on the ground and pointed it at the two people who were fighting.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, and young Zhang Yu fell to the ground. The gunman struggled to stand up, but was shot in the head.

“Now, there are only two of us left.”

Zhang Yu, who was the first to encounter him, turned around and pointed his gun at Zhang Yu. "You know what? I have experienced seven such duels. Every time, I will survive to the end, but I can never really leave. This space is like an endless reincarnation."

Zhang Yu felt his heartbeat was almost jumping out of his chest: "Since you have experienced it so many times, you should understand that killing each other will not solve the problem!"

"You're right." The other party suddenly laughed, "So I thought of a new way this time." He slowly put down the gun, "I need your help. Only when the two Zhang Yu join forces can we break the rules of this space."

Zhang Yu looked at him warily: "Why should I trust you?"

"Just this." The other party took out a yellowed photo from his pocket. "I found this during my third reincarnation. On the back of the photo it says: 'The only way out is acceptance.'"

Zhang Yu took the photo, which showed an unfamiliar laboratory filled with various sophisticated instruments. In the corner of the photo, he saw a familiar figure - a younger version of himself, wearing a white coat, operating something.

"This is......"

"Yes, this is us in another time and space." The other party said, "A Zhang Yu who chose the path of scientific research. I suspect that this space was created by him in order to study the theory of parallel time and space. But the experiment went wrong, causing Zhang Yu in all time and space to be trapped here."

Zhang Yu felt dizzy: "So what should we do?"

"Find the control room." The other party said, "I have been looking for clues in these seven reincarnations.

This space is not infinite, it has a core control room. As long as we find it, we can close this space and let Zhang Yu of all time and space return to his own world. "

At this moment, there was a sound of machinery in the distance. The pure white space began to distort, and countless images appeared on the surrounding walls, each with a different Zhang Yu.

"Time is running out." The other party said anxiously, "The space has begun to reset. After each reset, a new Zhang Yu will be teleported in. We must find the control room before the next reset!"

Zhang Yu gritted his teeth: "Okay, I believe you once. But if you dare to play tricks..."

"Don't worry, I'm serious this time." The other party showed a sincere smile, "After all, we are all Zhang Yu, aren't we?"

The two began to run in the distorted space, and the scenes around them kept changing.

Zhang Yu saw countless versions of himself: some were successful, some were down and out, some were happy, and some died alone.

Every picture is like a mirror, reflecting the countless possibilities in his life.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu, who was the first to meet, stopped and said, "This is it!" He pointed to a door that was barely visible in front of him. "I found this in my last reincarnation, but I couldn't open it by myself."

Zhang Yu stepped forward and found a palm print reader on the door.

The two looked at each other and pressed their palms up at the same time.

"Verification passed. Welcome back, Dr. Zhang Yu." A mechanical voice rang out and the door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a futuristic control room with a glowing sphere suspended in the center.

In the sphere, countless rays of light interweave, as if interpreting countless parallel time and space.

"This is the core of the space." Zhang Yu, who met it first, said, "As long as we close it, everything will be over."

Zhang Yu frowned: "Wait, if I shut it down, what about those dead Zhang Yu? And those Zhang Yu who are experiencing pain..."

"That's why I need your help," the other party said, "Simply shutting it down will indeed eliminate all possibilities. But if we can reprogram it, we can let every Zhang Yu return to his original time and space and continue their lives."

Zhang Yu looked at the complicated interface on the console and suddenly understood something: "You already knew that it would take two people to operate it, so you chose to cooperate with me instead of killing me."

The other party smiled: "That's right. After seven reincarnations, I finally understood a truth: the real victory is not to be the only Zhang Yu, but to make all Zhang Yu survive."

The two began to operate the console, and countless data streams flashed before their eyes.

Zhang Yu was surprised to find that he was so familiar with this complex system, as if he had operated it countless times before.

"Are you ready?" the other party asked.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath: "I'm ready."

They pressed the confirm button at the same time.

The dazzling light instantly filled the entire space. Zhang Yu felt himself falling, and his consciousness gradually blurred...

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

The sun was streaming in through the window, and the nurse was adjusting the IV.

“You’re awake?” the nurse said in surprise. “You’ve been in a coma for three whole days. That car accident…”

Zhang Yu raised his hand, looked at his intact body, and smiled with relief.

He knew that in countless parallel time and space, every Zhang Yu had found his own way out.

And that mysterious space may always remain an unsolved mystery.

But at this moment, he just wanted to cherish this hard-earned second life.
