| God, I didn't think he wasn't going to take the job, although I understand, it could be a problem for Cheng Xiao Shi... Nah man, we've been left without a happy ending, I wonder who it will be (μ_μ) |
Cheng Xiaoshi, stop messing with the timeline! Seems like the mysterious caller (the killer perhaps?) could be the lead the gang into the case to find the killer. Lu Guang, plz just let Xiaoshi know the truth. We need the last 2 episodes to solve Emma's case! Also it seems that Qiao Ling doesn't exactly know how Cheng's and Lu's power works? Or like, why they can do what they do or how. The power thing definitely won't be explained anytime soon (or ever). Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| What was written in the text messages which was sent by the villain at the end of the episode? They weren't translated into English so I am confused. I really wish this show had like 30-40 episodes so we could really explore the universe, characters, history, and time-traveling power in detail. Even though I am thoroughly enjoying the series, everything feels super rushed without any explanation. I highly feel they would be wrapping the show in just 3 episodes and not have a season 2 of it considering the style of delivery they are opting for. Sigh, this show is super dependent on art, delivery, suspense, and music. Otherwise, I don't see it being this highly appreciated as it is. |

That would be really cool. I hope it is like that! |

| Hmm, likely it might be due to Cheng Xiaoshi's action that resulted to this outcome. This show's having cliffhanger every episode. I'm surprise Qiao Ling doesn't really know about their power too. Edit: I read about some people mentioning there might be a chance of a second "time traveler". I'm kinda skeptical about that, but we'll see. That exact sentence cross my mind every time xD. snaieem said: I really wish this show had like 30-40 episodes so we could really explore the universe, characters, history, and time-traveling power in detail.

Há! Talk about hearts beating fast! At this moment a lightning fell in my mind. "She is one of the victims?!" Remember episode 6?  I thought, "she is the seventh case that was missing!". No, we know that she is not, but at the same time it is! Because Xiaoshi intervened thinking that he would prevent a murder, he actually created the conditions for another murder! It was Xu who was actually the seventh case, but it was missing because the conditions for her death weren't still fulfilled? I had thought first that the seventh case was missing from the file because of the murderer, because he had some way to know and interfere with the investigation, or because he is aware of the Main Duo powers and he himself may have some super natural power, but now it seems it was just a temporal inconsistency/paradox? Will my mind remain blow the fuck out all the way to the moon until the next episode? FOOOOOOCK! This thriller is as good as Odd Taxi. It's a shame IMO that some times the series have this need to "remember" that "it's an anime too", but thinking about it it's only the second time in 9 episodes that this happen. Even so this don't diminish all the good and punches. Now, it's very probably that there's more people with super natural powers out there beyond Lu and Xiaoshi? If even Qiao don't know about Lu's powers I have to assume that other people keep their power as secret as he. |

| Something to discuss. If the Murderer is aware of Lu and Xiaoshi, why is this? Why would he go after Xu despite Lu apparently trying to stay away? Why would he "provoke" the two going after Xu? Because of the messages he sent of Xu phone and the call we must assume that he is aware that those three work together, right? My explanation is the photo the detective showed Lu. By his own powers Lu can see into the photos, he must had seems a bit into the photo with Emma's corpse and a bit into the photo of the security camera that caught the murderer. What if the Murderer "felt" Lu presence when he looked the photo? Could this be one of the reasons why he is aware of the main cast? |

HelerWz said: Im glad to see from the first interaction in this episode that Cheng Xiaoshi is not distant from Lu Guang but instead he said that he trusted his judgement, it shows that they wont suddenly break apart. However the Emma revelation will be quite dramatic, I suppose If Xiaoshi had followed "Lu's judgment" strictly Emma wouldn't have died, he has no one to blame bu himself. I hope he'll understand this and that Lu is keeping the secret because they can't change past again (they have no means to change). ilalochezia said: Just to add that there is a convincing theory for the plot. Spoilers below. --- The antagonist is another time traveller. Hum, I had not thought about this specifics? Yes, it's a possibility that the murder is out there acting indirectly like Lu works. I believe that the doubt about hiding the eyes is wrong, this is just normal to no reveal the ways to keep the identity of a character hidden. But yes, would work that way. What I noticed when I watched those scenes again is that there's a very great difference in behavior and small physical difference. Pay attention to the way he moves when he is sneaking around. Does he looks like it's the same person who tried to hit Xu? To me don't. And besides this, look the parts of his face that we can see. His face is clean, but before and after when we see the "mamma boy" he actually has a light beard/mustache. Those facial hairs apparently disappeared while he was "possessed". This reinforces my believe that yes, it's another person with super natural powers and he noticed Lu and got spooked by the possibility of Lu using his power to help the police get him. That would be way he "called" Lu a "friend". A friend in the sense that he identifies with Lu, because both have super natural powers. And the "clue" is that via Xu he found their identities. |

piaomy said: Hmm...If the serial killer has a possession ability like Cheng Xiaoshi, then it's possible that he was possessing the blond guy from episode 1,the client from the earthquake arc (when Qiao Ling was being grabbed from behind), as well as the guy following Shanshan in the alley. That would explain why the guy in the alley suddenly drugged himself and seemed to act in a completely different way, as if he was unaware of the situation he was in...maybe because the serial killer stopped possessing him once he knew that Shanshan was being possessed. I had said that the other day tha the scene was made that way to give us a clear view of his left hand, that it was meant of us to notice that he didn't have a marriage ring on his hand because at the end of the arc the past had changed and he married instead of remaining single. But, now that we are discussing this, maybe there was another reason why the whole scene was framed that way. Can we really assume that it was just a coincidence that it was during that scene that we received that information about a possible serial killer, and that he could be aiming woman? And that when he tried to touch Qiao his hand had this strange "artistic" glow to make it more ominous?  Now I'm suspicious of everything. |

We're going into Donnie Darko territory now. |

| Great episode. As expected, Lu Guang didn't take the case, but I thought he was going to have no choice but to take it sooner or later. I didn't expect it to connect with the current case and that the killer would make another move already by the end of this episode. Wow that ending gave me the creeps. This show is seriously killing it with the cliffhangers. Funny that the phone hanging up, creating the beeping sound, fit perfectly with the ED. Such a smooth move. Ending aside, gotta applaud Xu Shanshan's VA for singing the Chinese song so beautifully. If anyone's curious, the song is called "Ru Hai" (Into The Sea) by Mao Buyi. Love his voice, pleasantly surprised they used a song by him. |

| the cute love story of course had to end like that. and oh our main cast are all in the same year? thought that qiao ling was older than them |

Lol I was searching for these spoilers! Thank you! Looks like Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi are in an argument. Now we have to wait for the episode Pv Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| I have nothing to say; This was one of the weakest episode with strongest cliffhanger. |
| That one song.. does anyone have the name to the song she sang at the karaoke? It’s a very pretty song, tbh all of the music in this donghua is so good |

venus88 said: I think it's just you , the pacing is perfect.Anyone feel like the pacing is all over the place? Like the first case was way too fast, then the Earthquake case was really slow, and then the last few cases were ok but still a bit fast. I'm not sure if it's just me :/ |
| I thought it would be a random romance case but damn that end, seems like she has been kidnapped or something like that! |
 |
| A tragic love story with a bad,bad ending.. Attacker 2 comes into the story. Oh and the moment when the first attacker knocked himself out was way too funny LOL. (seems like he was possessed) The comedy is pretty good for a dongua.. |
