WHAT WAS THIS EPISODE?? I'M GOING INSANEEE

-Lu guang really uhm actually'd πŸ€“ that guy
-Photoshoot scene YES we needed some fluff. Unfortunately it was just the calm before the storm…
-”friends” xia fei is precious
-cxs gets exposed LMAO
-I didn't doubt for one second that vein was still alive, esp with how he got death note'd...

Anyway, there's so much to unpack in this ep and so many questions I still have…

What happened in the fight scene:

Lu guang decides it is "time for some changes", and we see this with him talking to vein to stall him a bit before vein goes into the building.
(Also side note when cxs enters the room, it's wq talking to him. But once she takes a photo of him, it's shao yuanyuan possessing wq.)
Vein walks into the room and tranquilizes cxs. Syy fights him but loses while trying to get to a booklet taped behind a painting.
Vein takes the book and starts to leave.
Syy claps, and wq, now herself again, sees what's happening. She uses her fake death ability on vein (probably activated by saying his real name) and he dies.
https://i.ibb.co/rK8hZ64p/ezgif-383df8a1cf7b9.gif (epic embed fail)
Now the last few shots are where things got weird, because it shows lu guang's arm moving at the same time as wq, as if he's actually possessed her or controlling something/using her ability. But I'm very sure this was actually just some imagery of how lg's plans were falling into place, as a sort of mastermind/puppeteer. He knew that by delaying vein, something would change, which was why he was talking about the butterfly effect earlier. He was sort of making a gamble bcs he didn't know exactly what would change- Maybe he knew it would cause wq to kill vein? But he definitely didn't know the exact details of her ability, since he thinks vein is actually dead, and doesn't know vein revived. But anyway, I'm thinking lg intended for pretty much all that to happen, and wanted vein to get killed- He didn't do it directly, as if he himself had the fake death ability, but he did seemingly cause it to happen.

can still confirm that is murderous intent in lg's eyes.

this look he's giving man... πŸ”«πŸ™‚
There's been so much cxsd in bridon
Nobody can say that lg doesn't love cxs in some way or another, whether platonic or not I don't really care, but just who else would you go back in time for over and over trying to save them?
Now, however many loops it's been, he's just willing to do anything. Seeing cxs die in front of him, whether it was once or twice or more than that- and he stayed in that room for like an hour after it happened- plus the 4(?) nightmare scenes in this arc and The Horrors haunting him even awake- how he is whenever it looks like cxs is in danger- the way a future without cxs is just not a even possibility for him...(THE EYE LYRICS ARE SO INSANE) and how much absolute priority that takes. At this point literally nothing else matters to him and I mean nothing. If it has a chance of changing the future to how he wants, he will do it.

He's so done, he's fcking smiling as he (sort of) kills vein. I mean yeah king slay WE LIVE FOR UNHINGED LG
But,, I think he needs a snickers and some therapy
I LOVE when characters are trying to do something good, but start doing increasingly extreme things to make it happen or go too far or don't act like themself anymore. Something along these lines could certainly happen with lg (perhaps it already has…). Maybe it would be better if he wasn't doing all his plans solo.

In s3, shit's gonna hit the fan because no vein did NOT die. And also syy / wq time traveling is changing events, and who knows whatever lx is plotting, and xf is just stuck in the middle of everything, and lg is trying to keep cxs alive. Gotdamn

“Hey lu guang why don't you come over here too and let chris give you a snickers? you don't look so good”


Also xia fei is going to be SO INTERESTING im hoping for so much in s3
-Will he know that it was wq's power that killed vein, or even worse, that lu guang (who xf calls a friend) wanted it to happen??
-Will he have a revenge arc against lg or wq or somebody? (this would go crazy man.)
Imagine xf goes berserk in s3
-And imagine a scene when he finds out vein is still alive…
-Will he work for vein again or what (Despite how xf likes him, I'm pretty sure vein only sees xf as entertainment, or something along those lines of being onesided)
-does xf know the really unhinged side of vein?
-will he know that vein killed/is going to kill cxs (well his target was lg but ended up being cxs), and will xf go along with that or will he try to prevent it?

And no matter what happens, there's so much potential for interesting relationships... By the end of bridon, lg and cxs are his friends, but vein is shiguang's enemy eventually, and who knows what lx's deal is- but anyway I'm hoping for something wild to go down with these conflicts.


My remaining notes after rewatching the ep and getting info from Lh0 interview:

-Still don't know who vein was on the phone with (talking in english only)
-Bridon being the same timeline from s1 and 2 would make sense in some ways but also be confusing in other ways... idk what, if it is or not.
-It's "the last time" for lu guang? why??
-What is in the book thing wq had/vein took? Maybe it's info about people with abilities? It has an eye symbol…
-The book is something cheng weimin had at his desk or smthn at bahati in e5.
-Liu xiao is the one who opened vein's bodybag and he's probably the only person who knows vein is alive.
-It seems like cwm died in the fire, and syy is time traveling trying to save him? just like shiguang. Her actions are changing up the timeline along with the things lg is already doing.
-Still don't really know anything about the bahati fire, what it means, or why somebody would've wanted to cause it… (I've seen someone say it might be to cause a distraction and take that book from cwm, so hmm…)
-All I really know about liu xiao is that he wants to "turn all uncertain events into one certainty" as he said in s2's ending. Don't know what this means. He's definitely some kind of mastermind/manipulator on another level from the other hhh but what is he trying to do??
-Xia fei's disappearance is probably him going off on an investigation to find out what happened to vein. Don't know why jack (that other model) disappeared too though or if that's significant.

Apparently in only the bilibili version of this episode, it said that the last scene of lu guang reading the news/cxs repainting was set three years later from bridon, right after s2 and the li twins case. They were in the same outfits from the welcome home party in s2's ending, and also ql commented for cxs to be careful coz he just got shot (from that underground fight scene in s2 e12) (no way he needed stitches for a tranquilizer, so it’s definitely not right after bridon)
So s3 must have more about xia fei's investigation, vein reviving, and liu xiao's mastermind ideas.

-Link click’s director said there are no parallel timelines. So it seems whenever lg dives back from a bad ending, whatever happened in that time doesn't exist anymore.
It would look something like this:
(embed fail)

Abilities:

- Lu guang gets cxs's power from his death, but doesn't have it anymore after he dives back to bridon.
- Wang qing has the fake death ability. Her eyes glow blue when using it (which is a different shade from lg 😭 yall have a whole color wheel to design with and u choose blue again...)
- Shao yuanyuan has the same ability as cxs. Don't know if cwm has it too.
- Vein has no ability (right now at least), he is just the strongest.
- Liu xiao can hear people's heartbeats, and through this he can tell if ppl are lying. Apparently he has another, unknown ability.
- After s2, qiao ling has li tianxi's ability.

Abilities can be obtained genetically (how cheng xiaoshi got his). Or they can transfer when the person dies (like with ltx and cxs). Or someone could kill an ability-having person to steal their power.


Anyway that's all I've got right now. Time to hibernate until season 3

@Lemon_Snickers Wow! You listed all the questions I had. Really informative for a quick run down of the ONA.

Thanks!! I have so much brainrot after watching this ep lol I can't stop thinking about it


Also yall my image wouldn't load correctly, so here is what I think the timeline looks like again:

Bridon arc ----------> season 1 ----------> season 2 -----------> CXS dies -> LG dives back to bridon ↩

This could be proved wrong later who knows,, but it makes sense to me right now XD

This whole season introduced way more questions than it answered, lol.

Just to organize my thoughts a bit:


  • Season 1 and 2 are in the same timeline.
  • In the S1/S2 timeline, it's a "temporary good end" as the protagonists haven't been killed by Vein (yet). Season 2 reveals that Lu Guang has been repeating time since he met Cheng Xiaoshi (presumably in a separate timeline where everyone dies).
  • This season reveals the particulars about how Lu Guang has been going back. It seems to imply (this episode particularly), that this is his "last attempt" so he's trying some extraordinary measures.
  • One of the measures is inserting a major event (what exactly?) into the past and seeing what happens, which is a departure from Lu Guang's usually planned and measured approach.
  • Cheng Xiaoshi's mom is also independently trying to change the past to rescue his dad. She was possessing Wang Qing from when the photo was taken until the end of the scene at least.
  • How did she get the blue-eye power temporarily? What did that scene mean?
  • Not sure how Vein was attacked by Lu Guang? And how he's now alive again?
  • Liu Xiao appears many times during this season but never really gets significant development, but he's still pretty important and it's implied he's the central antagonist?


I'm most curious how they're going to tie this stuff back into the S1/S2 timeline because S1/S2's timeline was in the "temporary good end". Maybe S1/S2's timeline is the ultimate good end where Lu Guang manages to save everyone?

I think they should’ve insert scene between wangqing and cxs’ mum. I’m interested how his mum explained why and what to do.

Ahhh im so confused omg. The one thing i did understand and loved was Lu Guang going nerd mode lmao πŸ€“πŸ‘†

I'm just a bit confused on where this fits in the overall timelines, and I kind of understand what happened in the therapy room but also not really??? Either way this was really good, I loved it a lot more than S2, I'm excited to see where it all goes from here. Opening and Ending songs are amazing I'm gonna listen to them forever

Why did wangqing use her fake death ability on redhair?
@neptunerf17
I'm not sure about all the exact details, but vein was stealing that book and about to walk away, so wang qing just did whatever she could in that moment to stop him. The book probably has some kind of important information in it.

Reply to fespadea
@DonghuaFan This order of events seems a little off to me. Lu Guang says in this season that this is his last attempt for whatever reason. However, Lu Guang went back in time at the end of season 2 to save CXS from the bullet. That can be chalked up to it being a separate event, but in episode 1, Vein blames Lu Guang because he changed the past, so presumably Lu Guang would have changed the past at some point before Vein started going after them. It makes more sense to me that episode 1 of Bridon arc is after season 2, Vein is killing them because of Lu Guang initially saving CXS at the end of season 2, and Lu Guang has been looping since then. Although, it doesn't really make sense for Lu Guang to have to go so far back to try to stop Vein from what we know so far, so I can see how your order of events makes sense also. It's weird that this is neither listed as a prequel nor sequel on Mal.

So in the end of season 2 the scene of Lu Guang going back in time was a flashback. In the last episode of S2, Qiao Ling witnesses the memories of Li Tianxi and then she wonders why she has a memory of Lu Guang witnissing Cheng Xiaoshi death. She then greats our heros and they have their party. During the party, there is a narration from Lu Guang saying he broke his own rules. Then there is a flashback of Lu Gaung in their room covered in blood and wearing season 1 clothing and he claps and goes back in time. Then it cuts back into the party at the end of S2.

Pay attention to the clothes they wear because it lets the viewers know when an actual event takes place and when it is a flashback.

So the timeline is this

1. CXS meets Lu Guang
2. CXS goes to Bridon
3. CXS gets his powers at Bridon
4. Lu Guang does not kill Vein in Bridon
5. They go back to China, start their business of solving client cases like Emma, Doudou, Sichuan Earthquake case, etc
6. Vein kills
7. Lu Guang goes inherits CXS powers and goes back in time to save CXS
8. Repeat steps 1 through 8 because Lu Guang keeps on failing in saving CXS

After multiple failed attempts at saving CXS (we don't know how long Lu Guang has been trapped in this timeloop) we witness the events of the Bridon Arc where Lu Guang is able to break free of the timeloop where he is able to kill Vein

Bridon Arc events
9. We witness CXS dying in the photostudio and Lu Guang going back in time to save him. Vein says this is punishment for changing the past cuz Lu Guang's been repeating steps 1-8 for awhile now.
10. CXS meets Lu Guang
11. CXS goes to Bridon
12. CXS gets his powers at Bridon
13. Lu Guang kills Vein in Bridon and breaks the timeloop (which is why he says this last time he thinks he doesn't have to go back in time to save CXS)

Events in S1
14. Events in S1 play out similar to steps 5
15. However, the big difference is that this time Vein is no where to be found and instead the killer is Li Tianchen

Events in S2
16. They solve the Li Tianchen case
17. At the end of S2, Lu Guang has a flashback of going back in time to save CXS. This refers to step 9.

After S2
18. There is a flashboard during the last ep of Bridon where CXS explains why the photo studio was renamed to Time Photo Studio as well as Lu Guang hearing on the news that Xia Fei disappeared.

This is a prime example of why time travel stories induce migraine type headaches for me.
But I actually enjoyed it. Now let us have Season 3 please!

I cannot stop thinking about this episode ever since it dropped... It's just so unfortunate that an interesting "side story" got such a rushed ending. We got that awesome hour long first episode setting up some awesome things conceptually, and we got all those crazy cool PVs and whatnot only for it to end up like this :(... I know it's supposed to be a side thing to hype up the 3rd season which is gonna be way longer than what we usually get but I just wish the final episode had more time to flesh itself out, it just felt really lackluster and the power stuff just felt like such an asspull. I'm still excited for season 3 but I really hope they don't pull some random unexplained nonsense like with this episode.
