Chapter 3

Jiang Xiaoyuan's mind went blank for a moment, and she even felt like she saw the airbag rushing towards her.

The airbag can deploy at a speed of around 300 kilometers per hour, and without wearing a seatbelt, it's easy to kill Lu Zhishen.

At the moment of life and death, all kinds of fighting, quarrels, and jealousy become insignificant trivialities.

Jiang Xiaoyuan had only one sentence in her mind: "Can't I just die like this

However, after a sharp brake sound, the expected severe pain did not come as expected, and Jiang Xiaoyuan's eyes suddenly darkened.

The speeding vehicles, bumpy streets, big trees, panicked pedestrians... suddenly disappeared from front of her, and she suddenly lost weight, as if there was some mysterious force that stripped her away from the terrifying scene of the car hitting the tree.

Jiang Xiaoyuan was taken to a strange scene, surrounded by no sound or light, only her heart and arteries could be heard beating hysterically.

Her hands and feet were cold, and she stood there in a cold sweat for half a minute, finally coming back to her senses in disbelief.

Where is this?

What's going on?

Suddenly, a light cough came from the side of her body, and Jiang Xiaoyuan's hair stood still for a moment. Instinctively, she took a half step wrong and her eight centimeter high heels twisted her ankle as expected.

A cold hand grabbed her arm before she fell to the ground, and at the same time, Jiang Xiaoyuan also saw the person in front of her - it was the black clothed man in the coffee shop who looked like a dummy.

He had a coin sized button on his collar, emitting a soft white light that vaguely illuminated the face that seemed to be computer-generated.

Pale and devoid of any color.

Jiang Xiaoyuan lifted her shoulder and suddenly pulled out her arm, cautiously scrutinizing the person in front of her - but is he really human?

Please come with me. "The man in black seemed unable to understand Jiang Xiaoyuan's guard and walked forward on his own.

What is this place? "Jiang Xiaoyuan suppressed her panic and asked sternly," What's wrong with you? Who are you

I am a lighthouse assistant, "the man in black replied without any fluctuations in his tone, and then repeated again," Please come with me

He sounds like an automatic answering machine when he speaks, with precise pronunciation and insincerity. In short, he doesn't seem like a living creature.

Jiang Xiaoyuan held her arms in front of her chest, motionless, thinking to herself, "Why should I go with you

She didn't move, and the black clad man who claimed to be the lighthouse assistant didn't even wait for her. He walked forward silently, following some strange and fixed rhythm, with stiff and precise movements.

So what exactly is this dark and unremarkable thing?

Robots? zombie

Jiang Xiaoyuan held her breath and let her imagination run wild for a moment, almost seeing the black clothed man turn around and show her a mouthful of green fangs the next moment.

She was deeply moved and realized that with the lighthouse assistant's turn, the only source of light had also left her. Jiang Xiaoyuan had no previous record of being afraid of the dark, but suddenly felt a chill from her heart. The darkness here seemed to have life, and she opened her mouth waiting to swallow her whole.

A cold sweat broke out on her back, and she hesitated for a moment before reluctantly pulling out her legs and chasing after her.

Jiang Xiaoyuan moved her wrist while walking. She had participated in a Taekwondo club abroad for half a year - Taekwondo itself, as a sports event, has basically degenerated into flower boxing and leg embroidery. Not to mention, she followed along with the intention of attracting handsome men, and its learning effect is basically equivalent to doing several sets of radio gymnastics more than others.

Jiang Xiaoyuan tried her best to recall the techniques taught by the instructor that were not effective, and evaluated the possibility of being able to defeat the person in front of her.

At this moment, a strong light suddenly stung Jiang Xiaoyuan's eyes.

She saw a straight beam of light sweeping through the vast darkness, like something out of nothing, endless at a glance, long and straight, sharp and bright, as if sweeping from the end of the world, destroying the darkness like a raging force, and quickly approaching her.

Jiang Xiaoyuan involuntarily blocked her hands in front of her, and the beam of light passed over her and continued to surge in an unknown direction.

The lighthouse assistant finally spoke a human sentence again.

Don't be afraid, "he said," it's just a beam of light from the lighthouse, come up

Jiang Xiaoyuan looked up as he spoke, her whole being stunned——

She saw a floating sky bridge in the darkness, faintly suspended in the depths of infinite shadows, as if connecting to another world. The steps seemed to float in the air, stacking up endless uncertain futures.

The lighthouse assistant stood on two levels of floating stairs, half turned around, and reached out a hand to her. His slightly brownish eyes have layers of patterns that shimmer like light.

Jiang Xiaoyuan saw those eyes and couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you... a person

This is the monitoring station for all parallel spaces in Zone 3, "the lighthouse assistant said from a high position, seemingly not hearing her question." You know what 'parallel space' is, right

Jiang Xiaoyuan's honorary graduation certificate only had a flattened ashtray, and upon hearing this, her eyes widened into circles.

The lighthouse assistant didn't care and explained calmly, "There are countless spacetimes that exist parallel to the spacetime you are in, and they will never intersect... Simply put, if you walk at a crossroads, you can turn in any direction - straight ahead, left turn, right turn, or even backward. From this moment on, a series of completely different events will be triggered, which are four parallel spaces, each with a 'you' in each parallel space

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoyuan, who had four clones, faced her three heads and six arms and couldn't speak for a moment.

Each lighthouse controls a certain range of parallel space, "the lighthouse assistant said

Jiang Xiaoyuan lightly pinched the back of her hand, suspecting that it was a dream.

But how could her mind, occupied by "eating, drinking, having fun" and "buying, buying", have such an incredible dream?

Jiang Xiaoyuan involuntarily spread her legs and walked up the steps. Halfway through, she couldn't help but look back. The road ahead was pitch black, and she had no other support except for the dim light source on the collar of the lighthouse assistant ahead.

She had an illusion that she was walking alone, and an inexplicable fear rushed into her heart.

Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask, "Can you take me back to my time and space... anywhere? For example, can you let me go back to my childhood

The lighthouse assistant did not express any opinion on her foolishness and answered dutifully, "You may not have fully understood just now. If you go back to your childhood, it will become another parallel time and space, no longer the same as before

Jiang Xiaoyuan has never been proficient in mathematics and physics since she was young. She listened in confusion and felt as if she had forgotten something. However, her emotions were chaotic and her mind was overloaded, and she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

At the end of the steps, there is a huge tower that seems to be about to break through the universe.

Jiang Xiaoyuan swallowed hard and followed the lighthouse assistant into the tower. She was like Dante swimming in hell, heading towards the unbelievable.

There are scattered lights in the lighthouse. At first glance, they overlap with each other, but in fact, they do not interfere with each other, like a complex three-dimensional chessboard.

The two of them walked all the way to the bottom of the tower, and what came into view was a small platform, like a high school teacher's podium, with various incomprehensible coordinate numbers floating beside it.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's mind buzzed as she saw the seats and steering wheel on stage, clearly the cockpit of a car!

There is a familiar pendant hanging on the rearview mirror, the seat belt hangs quietly to one side, the airbag is deployed halfway, and the fine glass shards are suspended in the air, as if a precise screenshot of a certain time and place.

Jiang Xiaoyuan involuntarily took a step back.

Another step.

The lighthouse assistant gave a signal, and suddenly the lights on stage shone brightly, illuminating a stage with focused lights. Jiang Xiaoyuan was the clown who was about to make her debut.

No... "Jiang Xiaoyuan kept retreating back, as if the further away from the high platform, the safer she would be. She said incoherently," You, you can't send me back, I can't go back

Lighthouse Assistant: "You can't stay here forever. If you're swept down by a space-time storm, you'll always be sent back to your original space-time coordinates

Jiang Xiaoyuan looked up in disbelief at his glass ball like eyes and said, "I crashed! Can't you see? Are you blind! The front windshield is shattered like that, and I didn't even fasten my seatbelt. I'll die! Are you sick

The lighthouse assistant's expression remained unchanged, and the light cast a porcelain like glow on his face.

He doesn't look like a human anymore, like an inhumane humanoid container.

The lighthouse assistant said, "That means you should have died at this point in time and space. Is there anything wrong with that

Jiang Xiaoyuan was stunned.

Is this person a pervert? "Jiang Xiaoyuan felt her blood vessels" bulging "on her neck and thought to herself," This perverted place, perverted person, no, I have to run

The lighthouse assistant walked towards her and said, "The teleportation is about to begin. Please come over here to avoid any deviation in the teleportation

Jiang Xiaoyuan's hand trembled violently under her cloak. Suddenly, she pounced forward and used her shoulder to bump the lighthouse assistant to the side. Unexpectedly, the lighthouse assistant looked tall and slender, but was as light as a piece of paper. When she bumped him, he tilted sideways. Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't expect it to go so smoothly and was stunned for a moment, but she was also decisive at a critical moment. She immediately reacted and ran wildly.

Jiang Xiaoyuan has always been good at applying makeup and has never had anything to do with sports. At this moment, her adrenaline surged and her full potential was unleashed, as if she had suddenly mastered lightness skills.

But she couldn't go much lighter, suddenly she seemed to be caught by a pair of invisible hands.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's legs were still running forward in despair, but she kept retreating. The closer she ran, the closer the illuminated platform and the terrifying cockpit were to her, as if a black hole was chasing after her, and the ubiquitous gravitational field was constantly devouring her.

All the courage of Jiang Xiaoyuan, who was fierce but weak inside, finally flowed out. She was about to be crushed by fear: "Wait! Please, I can't die... Help! I'm only 25 years old, and my parents only have one daughter, I can't die! I still have... Yes, I still have a job, and I have a lot of things to do. I can't die in such an inexplicable place! Help
