When the existence of parallel universes was confirmed,
research into traveling to parallel timelines became a global concern.
The technology leaders in the field are IPT Lab on Eagle Isle
and Nexus Corporation on Blue Isle.
In early 2025, IPT recklessly started human trials.
Test subjects from multiple timelines massacred each other.
Rioters set off explosion, both scientists and data were wiped out
IPT's investors were unwilling to surrender their research lead.
They covered up the incident and conspired
to steal Nexus Corporation's data
Tsui Hu
Is it my understanding that you want to continue with this project?
Yes
Good, good, good. Excellent
Now the explosion wiped out all my researchers and data
But that's not gonna stop us
However, I have heard
the Nexus Corporation has made a significant breakthrough in their research
So if you can somehow find a way to obtain their data,
I will be willing to put the full force of my organization at your disposal
I can hardly believe it!
The Primate DNA sequence model transmission results...
indicate a 100% genetic match in both spaces!
The catalyst particle finally worked!
Perfect!
We finally did it!
Good job, everyone!
Thank you, Director
Save the data, then prepare a report for the board
Good work, everyone!
Doudou
You can do it! Don't be scared!
Mommy's right here
We're almost to the top
I'm not scared!
Good boy, Doudou! Come on!
Hello, Director?
Xia Tian, the meeting got moved up
Really?
Yeah. Get back as soon as you can
Okay
I'll head back now
Doudou!
Rock climbing simulation has concluded. Have a great day
Are you okay?
Does it hurt? Did you hurt yourself?
It's not the first time I've fallen
You women love to worry about nothing
Get up. Let me take a look
You're okay? Right?
I'm fine
Okay
Let's go home
So soon?
Sorry... I have to get back to the lab
As soon as I'm finished, I'll come right home, okay?
Research report meeting scheduled in Nexus Hall 3 in one hour
Attendee punctuality is appreciated
Hello everyone
My name is Wan Ning
You can call me Winson
I'm here today on behalf of the board of directors
So, let's get started
Our research involves using a particle transmitter
to separate the constituent particles of our subject,
sending them through an artificial wormhole
Thereby projecting our subject into a parallel universe
This is the Nexus Hole, a man-made wormhole
This whole building
is actually the particle transmitter
The top of the Nexus Hole is equivalent to the brain
It is the central control room
and every department controls the artificial wormhole
Of course the core technology is behind me...
The particle transmitter
It's essentially the heart of the system
You're saying
I can send any product, research result,
or even myself into the past
More accurately speaking,
we send them into a distinct parallel universe
Right now, we can only bend the black hole a small degree
So we can only project 1 hour and 50 minutes backwards in time
So short?
The limit of the energy provided by our equipment means
that we can currently only warp time to a small degree
But I believe
that as our research progresses, that degree will increase
Next we'll move into experimentation with living subjects
But we can't proceed before certain conditions are met
Because the cells in our bodies are dynamic,
even the slightest error in particle reconstruction
could have disastrous consequences
Xia Tian is leading research
in the area of atomic elasticity to eliminate the difference
It all comes back to the original properties of strong catalytic particles
And how long will it take to reach this step?
We'll be ready within 2 months
Good!
Director,
that's enough for today's report
I'd like to see you at headquarters tomorrow
Alright
Hello? Mrs. Chen?
Is Doudou already in bed?
Right, I just got off work
I'm sorry
I'll be back soon
You can go home
Okay
Human control enabled
Xia Tian!
Please don't go!
I don't want to die!
Now get out!
Please open the door
Open the door now!
Xia Tian, you have to stop this research!
You have to stop this re...
And you're certain you've never seen the deceased before?
Have you found anything else suspicious?
Nothing
What do we have from forensics?
Preliminary cause of death is sudden cerebral hemorrhage
Alright. Take him out of here
Right. Hurry it up
If the police learn anything, I'll be in touch with you
Go home and get some rest
We'll take care of things here
You dare to think you can beat me?
Rainbow Ranger, help!
Rainbow light, engage!
Seven-color beams, join!
Rainbow watch, activate!
Rainbow belt, fasten!
Rainbow, unite!
That won't help you!
There is no escape!
Rainbow Ranger, traveling through time!
Finally you appear, Rainbow...
Director...
We've been working hard on the clinical trials every day
Thank you both
Yo both look ill.
We come early, leave late, and never see the sun.
Are we supposed to look good?
That's right, we never see the sun.
Director,
Is... something going on at headquarters?
Nothing in particular
I've been hearing stories about the explosion at the American lab
I've heard they'd started experimenting on human subjects
But as to whether the explosion was related to the experiments
The Americans refuse to answer
If we succeed here,
it'll be a milestone achievement
But the closer we get,
the more cautious we need to be
Director,
ever since I was...
a graduate student
I've been working with you on this research
Rest assured, I understand
Right
You've been with me for almost... 8 years
Yeah, 8 years
Right. It passed so quickly, as if in the blink of an eye
Director,
have you considered, if our experiment is a success,
and you really can go back
What time would you most want to return to?
I'd go back to before my college entrance exams!
Why?
To tell myself not to study physics!
Otherwise, I'll die all alone, won't I?
I don't think so
No matter how many times you go back, you'll still choose physics
Because I really can't imagine...
outside of your research work,
is there anything you like to do?
Oh, come on!
Right?
I guess you're right
Xia Tian
You and Doudou's father have been...
separated for 3 or 4 years now, right?
Do you have any plans yourself?
Don't you think it's time to start seeing someone?
I am seeing someone
Doudou and I are doing great together
We're getting to know each other, it's getting more serious
Whatever!
This is for Doudou
This is...
Rainbow Ranger is his favorite
Spend more time with him
Oh, you're here
Come take a look at this
These are the results from the last transmission of a chimpanzee
The SR cell values are suddenly different
When did this happen?
Just a minute ago. The structure of the DNA is also unstable
Is the problem serious?
Even though SR cells are only 0.3% of the body's total,
they are concentrated in the brain
Then Da Xiong, tell the director about this
- We'll have to delay the experiments - Right
Xiang Dong, go over our previous experiment results again
I'm sorry, Xia Tian
I heard you applied for some time off
It's all the same. We'll start over
Okay
Huang Chen
Let's go
Mom, are you still at the office?
Why are you home alone? Where's Mrs. Chen?
She went out to buy stuff, she'll be back soon
Just tell Mrs. Chen what you want for dinner
I promise, I'll be home early tonight
to read comics with you
Look at this
People like you, who work so much overtime, should eat more grapes
Also, whatever you do... don't drink too much coffee
Okay
I'll take your advice
Okay,
Doudou?
Doudou!
Doudou, stop playing around
Doudou!
Mommy!
- Doudou... - Mommy!
Mommy!
Doudou?
Hello? Xia Tian?
Who are you? Where's Doudou?
What is this?
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Doudou!
Mommy!
Help me!
Mommy!
I want to go home!
What do you want?
I want to go home!
I'll give you whatever you want, just let Doudou go!
Help! Help!
We want all the data of your experiments
I can't!
All the data stored in our central server is encrypted!
It's not as simple as you think!
It requires iris scans of the director, Xiang Dong and I
It's really not possible
Is that so?
Then I won't trouble you
Say your goodbyes
What are you going to do?
Doudou!
Good boy
Stop!
He's just a child! Are you insane?
Doudou!
It's okay
Starting right now
I'll give you 1 hour
The farther we drive...
the longer it will take you to get back
You decide
Mommy!
I want to go home!
Mommy!
Huang Chen...
Yes?
Go to the Particle Transmission Department
and get the data for the last 5 experiments
For both the transmission and reconstruction phases?
Yes
Hello, Xia Tian
Where are you?
Where else? The lab
Don't move. I'm coming up to you
Xiang Dong?
That's as much as I can help you. You're welcome
You killed Xiang Dong!
It's already been 20 minutes
Why...
Should I take care of the research director for you as well?
Don't hurt the director!
Don't hurt the director! Please!
Hello?
Xiang Dong!
Xiang Dong?
Xia Tian?
Why are you sweating so much?
The cell...
...values had a problem
I came back to see what it was
Have you seen Xiang Dong?
He's not in his lab?
He was just there
What's this?
Xiang Dong just sent me to get the data
of the recent transmission and reconstruction
Let me see
Go find Da Xiong and get the radiation data
Why do I have to be the messenger again?
Fine, I'll go right now
- Go on - I'm going
Go ahead
Go
I'm sorry! Are you alright?
I'm alright
Xia Tian,
What are you doing in here?
Director,
you know about the abnormal SR cell values
I'd like to hook up the server and check the data again
It's late. Let's do it tomorrow
Even though the error is only 0.3%,
this could mean everything we've worked towards was a wasted effort
Every time I go through this security process,
I always think, if the bad guys ever get any ideas,
they'll have to dig out our eyeballs, right?
What a crazy idea...
What about Xiang Dong?
We need him too
He'll be here any second
Remember to delete it when you're done. Don't forget
Xiang Dong!
There's been a murder in the building, security personnel are locating the suspect
Copy
Central Control Room, 2nd floor
2nd floor!
All entrances and exits are sealed, we apologize for the inconvenience
There's been a murder in the building, security personnel are locating the suspect
All entrances and exits are sealed, we apologize for the inconvenience
Out of the way!
Who discovered the body?
Do you remember when you arrived at the crime scene?
It was Xia Tian
Murder suspect identified as Xia Tian from Particle Teleportation Research Team
Please notify security personnel immediately if you have information
Murder suspect identified as Xia Tian from Particle Teleportation Research Team
Please notify security personnel immediately if you have information
Xia Tian?
Murder?!
Is it some kind of mistake?
She was here just now
Xiang Dong was killed with an injection of PTX
and his eyeball was removed
That's impossible
Xia Tian?
Stop this!
Da Xiong, I don't have time to explain
Xia Tian, are you crazy?
Da Xiong...
Tell me what's going on!
I really don't have time to explain. Please just trust me
You have to trust me, Da Xiong!
Da Xiong...
Why are you stealing the data?
I... I'm begging you, Da Xiong...
Xia Tian!
Don't do this! What's wrong with you?
Stop!
Xia Tian...
Are you alright?
Chief,
the data module was removed
Keep searching!
I'm really not the one who killed Xiang Dong
Doudou is in severe danger right now
Please help me
Stop talking...
I really don't have time!
You
Go in and search
Yes, sir
Did you find Xia Tian?
The data module is missing
What took you guys so long?
Excuse me!
- Get everyone not related out of here - Everyone out of the way!
Hurry up!
Out of the way!
Put down the data module
She's in the elevator
What is Xia Tian doing in there?
Everyone, get ready!
What's this?
After her!
Hurry up!
Get her!
Are you scared?
Have you ever seen a balloon pop?
BOOM!
Boom!
It's over very quickly
Very quickly
Doudou!
Stay there!
Doudou!
Mommy! Help me!
I brought it!
Help me!
This is what you wanted!
I brought it!
Mommy!
Help me! Help me!
Doudou!
I want to go home!
Doudou, don't be frightened!
Mommy!
The data checks out
Doudou!
Mommy! Help me!
Doudou! Doudou!
Mommy!
- It's okay... - Mommy!
- Mommy's right here. It's okay
Can you remove the bomb from his neck?
Please
What do you want from me?
Please
Can you remove the bomb from his neck?
You're nuts!
Nuts?
Crazy?
You're calling me crazy?
You know what?
I'll show you something even crazier
Doudou!
What do you want?
Doudou!
No!
Don't...
No!
What do you want? Doudou!
I'll kill you!
Let go!
Shut her up
Do you want to save your son?
You still have a chance
Think about it
Why would I keep you alive?
Finish your experiments
Go back to the past
You're right
Okay
What kind of gift is this?
Doudou, just push "Start"
Wow! It's raining!
Wow! It's Rainbow Ranger!
Mom, you're a magician!
So, Doudou
What shall we do now?
Rainbow Ranger, traveling through time!
Xia Tian?
Why did you come back?
How did you get hurt?
What are you doing?
What happened to you?
This place is about to explode. Let's go, okay?
We have to go now!
Let's go!
Say something! What happened?
Doudou...
...is dead
What?
Xia Tian!
Why are you going inside?
What are you...
are you crazy...?
Xia Tian, come out! Just calm down, alright?
Without Doudou,
I'd rather be dead
Don't forget that the wormhole is irreversible!
We've never done experiments with humans!
You'll die if you do this!
Xia Tian!
What the hell?
A person?!
Xia Tian?
It worked
How could you run the experiment on yourself?
Get me my clothes
How did your face get hurt? When did it happen?
I'm not even sure if I can believe this
All the indicators are normal
What time is it right now?
It's 2... 2:40
But why were you the subject? What happened?
How could you put yourself at such risk?
Doudou...
Died
Xia Tian?
Get out here now
Didn't you say you were coming to see me?
Can you tell me exactly what's going on?
I'm really worried about you
Da Xiong, I really don't have time to explain to you
Xia Tian! Hey!
Da Xiong, give her the particle reconstruction data from last 5 experiments
and also the radiation data from the transmitter
Huang Chen, I have to talk to Xiang Dong. Ask me later
Oh.
How did Xia Tian know what I was here to do?
Xia Tian!
Hi!
Xia Tian!
These are from the last 5 attempts
And here's this one...
Take a look
Hello?
Da Xiong, I'm sending you the me from this universe.
She's in the elevator anesthetized. Hide her
What are you doing?
Come here, come here...
Just what are you trying to do to me?
Do you like classical music?
I... I guess
I've got a Paganini violin solo here, it's incredible
No wait, hey...
Just close your eyes. You have to close your eyes to really feel the melody
- I'm sorry - Are you okay?
Hey, Da Xiong!
This is absolutely mind-blowing!
Sorry about this! Really sorry!
Xia Tian, do you need something?
Director,
the SR cell values are abnormal
I want to log into the server to check the results again
Come in and have some tea. We have time
I know it will take more than one day to check the results
but I have to see the results today
0.3% error could mean all the works we've done has been for nothing
Let's go
Alright, let's go
Mommy! I want to go home! Mommy!
Get moving. Take the files and go. Don't sit here wasting time
Stupid Da Xiong... he's so weird
Xiang Dong!
Hi, Da Xiong
Come to the top of the building
Xia Tian, this is too dangerous. We should call the police
No. I've already been through this
Tell everyone They need to evacuate there are bombs in the building.
Okay
Usually it just works
There's been a murder in the building, security personnel are locating the suspect
Someone removed Xiang Dong's eyeball
Data was also copied from the central control room
Who did it?
Right now we don't know
Director...
There're bombs in the research center
What? Who told you that?
There's no time to explain! Just trust me!
Tell everyone to evacuate!
Move!
The data is right here!
If you want the data,
release Doudou, and remove the bomb
Remove the bomb
Mommy!
Doudou!
Mommy!
Wait for me in the car
Send one person to pick it up only
Verify it
Don't move!
You'll regret that
I know you don't dare to kill me
After her!
There's no data here
No data was copied
Wasn't the data module stolen?
It must have been an empty data module that was taken
That's strange
Don't worry, mommy's here
I won't leave you at home by yourself anymore
Don't use your weapons
Capture Xia Tian alive
Roger
Mommy! I'm scared!
Doudou, hold tight!
Move!
Faster! Hurry Up!
Hold on tight, Doudou!
Xia Tian, why are you back here again?
Because this time you died too
What?!
The center explodes, and you don't get out in time
Xia Tian... Xia Tian!
Calm down, will you?
You can't keep going back in time like this!
Shut up!
Xia Tian...
Xia Tian, you've changed
Because I watched the person I love the most
get murdered in front of me twice!
Xia Tian
Xia Tian, you can't put yourself in danger like this
I'm sure we can think of something else. Did you hear me?
Don't follow me!
Move!
Director
We found 11 bombs hidden around the center
We've notified the bomb squad
And just how much will they be able to help?
Director, the situation is urgent
Chief!
We found this in the control room
We've confirmed that it's Xiang Dong's eye
Xiang Dong's eye...
Hello?
Where are you? I need your location
Who are you?
I'm you
Doudou is still going to die
Now tell me where you are
I just left the pier. What should I do?
Doudou...
Doudou, let's go
In here
We're okay
Let me see
It's okay
Doudou, It's fine
Mom, you're bleeding
I'm fine
I'm fine. I'm fine
Mom, it's Rainbow Ranger!
Yep, this is your favorite Rainbow Ranger
It's a present for you, okay?
How does he always know where we are?
Mom, this watch looks like it's fake
Why does Rainbow Ranger look different?
Different?
It's a tracking device
The Research Director?
Unbelievable
The experiment was a success?
Da Xiong,
why are you only telling me this now?
There wasn't time
You're awake?
Director...
Easy
What time is it?
- Calm down - I have to go!
Calm down. Doudou is alright
Xia Tian went to save him
What?
Another one of you rescued him. The wormhole experiment worked
A future you came back, and is on the way to save him
So don't worry, okay?
There's no time
It's okay, everything is fine
The research center is about to explode
We need to make a backup of our research data
Right, let's go
Da Xiong,
you stay in the transmission room
Wait for my instructions
Alright
Go ahead. Go
Get to the rendezvous point
Roger
Go on
Come on out!
I know you're in there
I'm warning you
My patience is very limited
Now come out!
I'll say it one more time
Come out
Mommy!
Doudou, run!
Mommy!
Run! Doudou, run!
Wait for me in the classroom, Doudou
Mommy!
Run!
Doudou, run!
Mommy!
Doudou!
Mommy!
Doudou, run!
Run!
Go get me the data
What's the situation?
Don't push me
You better hurry it up
I know
The experiment worked. There are three of her now
Really?
Let me confirm that for you
Put down the gun
Kill her
You only have one life
I have two
Not quite
There should be three of you now
We don't need either of you now
Kill them both.
Where's Doudou?
Let me worry about him
You get to the research center. Don't let them get the data
The research director is working with them
What does that mean?
The watch the research director gave Doudou was a tracking device
There's no time. Go
Protect my son
Doudou,
Mom,
I'm back
Mom,
what's this? I picked it up
That...
Let Mommy keep that for you
Mom, it hurts
It hurts
Don't worry, Doudou. It's okay
I'm gonna get you out of here
Here!
Hello, Da Xiong?
Are you alone right now?
Listen to me,
even though I don't want to believe it...
Don't copy the data!
Da Xiong, what's the matter?
Director, why did you do it?
You're the father of this whole project
So it's all true? I can't believe it
You were our mentor, Director
What you did...
Da Xiong!
The director and the people who kidnapped Doudou...
are working together
Da Xiong!
Why did you do this?
Why did you want to steal the data? Why did you want to hurt us?
Why?
I want to know why, too!
Why did I work so hard on my research...
Only to see my wife and children leave me?
Why did I give them everything, only to have them choose you?
They said they wanted to transfer me to more valuable research
But they really just want me gone
Xia Tian, listen
Credit for the success of this project could go to either you or me,
but I'm going to make sure it's me!
No one can take it from me!
You could have told me! I would have left!
Doudou is so young
Why did you have to hurt him? He's innocent
You? Leave?
So you haven't dreamed of the fame and glory?
Are you the only one above all that?
You're as naive and clueless as ever
But after all these years, I see through the game
All of us, we're pawns
Pawns!
Doudou is innocent?
I was made a martyr!
Am I not just as innocent?
Dr. Cheng: hereby removed as director of the research, effective from November 1, 2025
Who are you?
I only want the data module
Name your price
I don't want money
I'll help you get the data,
but I have a condition
I want that center bombed into nothingness...
as well as Xia Tian!
I want them to be left with nothing!
Only one of us is necessary for this experiment
That's why you have to die
You have to die
What is this about?
Director
You are not necessary for this experiment
But this experiment...
requires Xia Tian
What you need to do now...
is extend the time
For you...
that shouldn't be difficult
Doudou?
Dead
You...
Do you want to go back to the past?
Do you?
Why would you do something like this?
6 months ago,
my wife and my child...
were on their way to the city where I was stationed
But they died in a plane crash
I just wanted to go back to that moment
The recording device has now been implanted inside of you
It records everything you see with your naked eye
One of the clinical trial subjects...
started a riot
He thought...
these experiments should never have been started
Get away! Get away!
But if I can go back,
then I'll do anything
Tsui Hu
Is it my understanding that you want to continue with this project?
The Nexus Corporation has made a significant breakthrough in their research
So if you can somehow find a way to obtain their data,
I will be willing to put the full force of my organization at your disposal
You are a relative of Xia Lifu?
Yes
Sign here, please
Thank you
The SR cell values are suddenly different
When did this happen?
Just a minute ago. The structure of the DNA is very unstable too
Even though SR cells are only 0.3% of the body's total,
they are concentrated in the brain
Don't gloat too soon
Do you know
what caused the explosion at IPT?
It happened because there...
there were many, many
people who ended up
exactly like you
They massacred each other
And soon,
you'll destroy each other too.
He's absolutely right
In this world,
only one of us can survive
Run!
I'm the one who belongs with Doudou!
Why should it be you?
I am the first and the last life
I have all the memories of Doudou
We...
We're the same!
It's just that we're from parallel universes
No
I'm enough of me for this space-time
Stop!
You want to kill me?
It looks like we had the same idea
You'll kill me,
and then this waste of breath, right?
I'll kill you...
and then myself
What?
If we kill her,
Doudou won't have anyone
What are you talking about?
You and I won't live long
Do you remember what Xiang Dong said?
This experiment is not a success
The experiments on live subjects in the U.S. failed too!
There's no problem with my catalyst particle!
There's a problem with the whole system!
Do you remember the man in the parking garage?
He was the last subject to escape the U.S. lab
We won't...
be able to stay with Doudou
Shut up!
I saved Doudou!
Get to the hospital
I promised Doudou I would stay with him forever
Then what about you?
Just go
He's still waiting for you at the hospital
Go! Go!
Go!
Doudou depends on you now
Stay with him
Love him
Da Xiong!
Xia Tian?
Da Xiong...
Mommy...
Mom, where are you?
Why didn't you answer the phone?
My little baby...
You're awake?
Did you miss me?
I missed you too
Just wait for me
I'll come over there to see you, okay?
Okay, but don't take too long
Mom, why are you crying again?
I'm crying because my little baby is awake
I'm happy
I thought something was wrong again
Don't cry, don't cry...
Baby...
I want you to be healthy...
and grow up into a big handsome man, okay?
I love you
I'll always love you
I love you too. Lots
Mom, come back soon. I'm waiting
I'll come right now
Xia Tian!
Da Xiong!
You escaped! How did he get hurt?
Be careful!
Huang Chen
Take care of Da Xiong for me
What about you?
I'll come soon
Hold on Da Xiong!
Goodbye
Doudou!
Mommy?
Mommy!
Doudou!
Mommy?
Let me look at you
Let me see you
Mom, I think this one is done!
Doudou... Look!
Doudou
Happy birthday! Make a wish!
Blow out the candles
Happy birthday, Doudou
What did you wish for this year?
I wished that you could get a job soon
You haven't worked for a year
All you do is play around
That's because I like playing with you!
Okay? So let's keep playing
Here, this is for you
A birthday present
Why did you want this book more than Rainbow Ranger?
It's about time. That's more interesting than Rainbow Ranger
Doudou, come here
My little baby...
But Mom...
How do I control time?
To control time...
All you have to do is grab every moment
Grab it, just like this!
What's that smell?
Is it burnt?
