Brother.

Why are you putting the bug in the jar?

Because when it's the most beautiful, I will turn it into a specimen.

That way I can preserve it. Then it will always be beautiful.

Brother. It's not moving.

Because it's dead.

Is death painful?

No.

Death means you will no longer feel any pain.

Mom, I'm back.

You're late. Did you go to your brother's place again?

- Yes. - Here.

Good, good.

I'm going to go make dinner.

Zhi Qi, dinner is ready. It's time to eat.

Xie Zhi Qi, stop playing with the cat. Mom's talking to you. Did you hear...

Sometimes I feel like I am the universe's

dimmest star.

desperately trying to shine.

hoping someone will discover my tiny existence.

But in the end what awaits me is falling.

While plunging to death, I know

that no one in this world will remember me.

Track 11. If I were not here before, would you like me still?

In the midst of youthful regrets, I slowly wither away

In the wasteland of disappointment,

I learned to cry

In the midst of pretending to be myself,

I lost myself.

In the deepest, darkest room of my heart

I chant

a love song about how the only who can embrace me myself.

Mo Jun Jie what are you up to right now?

Forget it. I called just to tell you that

I'm visiting Chen Yun Ru.

If you hear this, then hurry here.

I'll wait for you here. Okay, bye.

Hi. It's Li Zi Wei.

I'm here to see you.

Can you hear me?

If you don't say anything, I'll pretend you heard me.

Why is it only you here?

Your family didn't come to visit?

Your relationships aren't good, right?

I told you that you need to speak more.

You aren't bored lying here all day?

Of course you must be bored to death.

If it's this boring,

then wake up and let's talk together.

I came all the way here to see you.

Don't ignore me.

Get up and tell me,

after you went home that night,

what happened?

How did you become like this?

Huang Yu Xuan, you're awake? Here, I'll do it.

Are you okay?

Why am I at the hospital? You...

Last night we found you were drugged and passed out on the sofa at home alone.

I was drugged?

Miss Huang, is your memory clear?

Do you remember what happened yesterday?

I remember...

My psychologist came to my house to find me.

Dr. Xie?

Then, I went to pick up Li Zi Wei's phone call

I went to the balcony to talk to him

but when I returned

Sorry...

Dr. Xie?

It was...it was Dr. Xie who drugged me.

Then, what about Li Zi Wei?

I've waited for you to come home.

I think, with Huang Yu Xuan's current condition, can we give her some time

to calm down. I'll bring her in for a statement later.

Okay, no problem.

Thank you.

Yu Xuan.

- Uncle Wen Lei - What is it?

Can you take me to get the walkman? I need to go back to the past.

- You need to go back to the past? - Yes

If I can go back to the past and change everything, then he won't die.

Miss Huang,

this is the footage we retrieved from the alley camera showing Xie Zhi Qi attacking the victim.

We hope you can help us understand some things.

After the attack, Xie Zhi Qi took some items and left.

Do you know what items he took?

It was a walkman and a journal.

A walkman and a journal?

He took them from my house.

What's so special about a walkman and a journal?

Why did Xie Zhi Qi take those items and drug you?

And why was he so brutal to the victim?

What does he plan to do with the walkman and diary?

Truthfully, you held out on us.

You play ball so well, how come you didn't play with us earlier?

That's right, if you joined us earlier, we would have won the championship.

Stop it. Do you want to eat some? I still have another.

Hurry up.

She's there, she's there.

Chen Yun Ru, come out for a second.

What do you want? Don't you two need to eat?

What's up?

Let's talk somewhere else.

- Let's go, let's go. - I'm not done eating yet.

The surviving memories I have

the killer, should be someone from our school.

So did you remember something?

Nothing really, but this image keeps arising in my mind.

The person who grabbed me was wearing our school uniform.

I only have this small clue for now.

If we don't catch this person before we graduate, it'll be even harder to catch him later.

If I don't catch this killer who hit my head and made me bleed

then I'm not willing to graduate.

You two don't need to worry.

You want me don't you? Then kill me.

As long as you kill me, I'm yours.

Whatever you want to do, you can do.

Ma, calm down.

Really?

Then what?

He didn't say anything and just kept smiling at me.

No matter how much I punish him or tell him what he's doing isn't right,

he still looks like he doesn't understand what he did wrong.

I don't know what I should do anymore.

Ma, did you tell Uncle about him killing the cat?

I don't dare tell him. He already has a bad opinion about Zhi Qi.

If I tell him about it, he'll certainly reject Zhi Qi even more.

You don't need to worry, the person who he trusts most is me.

Leave it to me. I'll tell him what he did isn't right.

Look at me. I have something to tell you.

You didn't do anything wrong, the people who did wrong was them.

Because they'll never understand what we're thinking and what we're doing,

So we don't need their understanding.

We just need to...play along with what they want us to do in front of them.

That will be fine.

Only like this, will we be able to keep doing

the things that make our world more beautiful. Do you understand?

Next time, I'll take you to see a prettier and more beautiful specimen, okay?

[Police Department]

I really can't understand.

Why did Xie Zhi Qi have to take your walkman and journal?

- Sorry! - Careful.

Hey, you're...

You know me?

That year, my brother was a junior. Perhaps he was under a lot of stress.

He had an emotional breakdown.

He kept mentioning hearing another voice, always telling him to kill someone.

Sorry...

Dr. Xie?

Dr. Xie?

I think...Xie Zhi Qi is probably the same as me.

He listened to the walkman for a few minutes at my house

and returned to 1998.

Maybe from the beginning we were wrong.

We always worked hard to find out who the killer was.

He didn't exist in the past, he exists in the future.

I dreamt I became a girl called Chen Yun Ru.

Through that walkman, you dreamt you became a girl called Chen Yun Ru and returned to 1998.

Assuming Chen Yun Ru's identity, you experienced everything that happened to her.

I didn't just experience everything that happened to Chen Yun Ru,

I really became her. I really went back to the past.

So, the reason 1998 Xie Zong Ru and Xie Zhi Qi look so similar is

not merely chance.

If I had known earlier, everything probably wouldn't be as it is now.

Huang Yu Xuan, don't over think it.

We don't really know for certain if Xie Zhi Qi can really go back to the past like you.

The only thing we know for certain is as long as we get the walkman back

and have you go back to the past to stop what happened that day, we'll still have a chance.

But what if Xie Zhi Qi can really go back to the past?

Even if we can find a way for Chen Yun Ru to live past what happened on New Year's Eve of 1999,

how can we be sure when Xie Zhi Qi left?

Or how long has he stayed there?

He probably will still find Chen Yun Ru and murder her.

No, to prevent this from happening again for sure,

I think we should meet Xie Zhi Qi...

No, Xie Zong Ru,

and figure out what he had to do with Chen Yun Ru's death.

[Psychiatric Facility]

Xie Zong Ru!

Xie Zong Ru.

Do you still remember...1998 and 1999

what happened between then?

Xie Zhi Qi told us you kept hearing a voice telling you to kill someone.

Who was it? What did that person say to you?

The person the voice wanted you to kill, was it Chen Yun Ru?

Please talk. Answer me.

Does Chen Yun Ru have something to do with you? Was it you who killed Chen Yun Ru?

Huang Yu Xuan, calm down.

Sit down.

Sit.

I'm sorry...

I thought of Xie Zhi Qi and Li Zi Wei.

I heard...

I could hear noises from outside.

I could see what was happening outside.

I even could feel...

that I was outside living.

But...

But the me that was outside, wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

No!

Xie Zhi Qi don't! Don't!

Brother

You prevented it just in time.

She's hasn't reached the moment where she is most beautiful.

Her death now wouldn't be complete, it isn't beautiful enough.

Obviously I am me, but only on the inside,

I was listening to another me talk, watching another me.

The things I saw...I don't know why I changed.

It wasn't me. It really wasn't me.

It wasn't me. I wouldn't do something like that.

Come.

Brother. It's late,

so why are you bringing me to your school?

Didn't I promise to

show you a prettier and more beautiful specimen?

Oh.

We're starting.

Here. Shine this at her face.

You'll be free soon.

It’s not me. It’s not me. It’s not me.

It's not me, I really didn't do it!

It's really not me. It's not me. It's not me.

I didn't. I didn't. I didn't.

I didn't. I didn't.

You said that person isn't you

then was it Xie Zhi Qi?

It's Xie Zhi Qi, am I right?

Chen Yun Ru...

- It’s not me. - Please calm down.

I didn't, I didn't. It really wasn't me.

It really wasn't me! it was him and him who made me do it!

It really wasn’t me. It was him and him, they forced me to. I didn’t do it.

- It's okay. - They made me.

You're still thinking about what Xie Zong Ru said?

If the person who attacked Chen Yun Ru

was the Xie Zhi Qi that went back to the past,

then what did Xie Zong Ru's last words mean?

Him and him. Does that mean that there was another person?

So you're saying Xie Zhi Qi had an accomplice?

I don't know.

I just think what he said sounds weird.

Why didn't he say "they" instead of "Him and him"?

Hello?

When you guys caught Xie Zhi Qi,

did you find the walkman he took from my house?

Yes, we found it at the scene.

Then can you guys please return it to me?

I can’t make this decision.

That walkman has been listed as relevant evidence already.

Is there really is no way for you guys to return it to me?

It's not that we can't. But we're curious why you and Xie Zhi Qi

find this walkman so valuable.

Because that walkman was a present from Li Zi Wei.

To me, it's a very important memory.

And now he's...

So...can you guys please, return it to me.

Okay, don't worry. I understand how you feel.

Later, after the Forensics team finishes all the documentation,

if they determine that there's no need to store it away,

I can help you get it back.

Thank you, thank you.

But you need to prepare yourself,

because the walkman isn't in it's original form.

What do you mean?

When we were catching Xie Zhi Qi, an accident happened.

Don’t move! We are the police!

Xie Zhi Qi, Xie Zhi Qi!

Get down!

- Let go of me! Why?! - Calm down!

My hand!

No way.

How could it be like this?

How could it be like this?

Sir, Xie Zhi Qi has been relocated to the Criminal Investigation Department.

Xie Zhi Qi!

Xie Zhi Qi, why did you do this?!

Say it! Why did you do this?

- Say it! Say it! - Calm down.

You're asking the wrong question.

You should be asking what you did to Chen Yun Ru.

Let’s go.

No. I can't give up just like this.

Excuse me! Wait a minute!

Boss, could you please help me fix this?

Oh...Miss, how could I possibly fix it in this condition?

It'd be faster for you to buy a new one.

Please, help me fix this. As long as it's functional.

As long as it can play one song it's okay.

Please, please help me look at it. Please!

Please, let me return back to 1998.

Let me go back to the past and change everything.

♫ So momentarily close your eyes ♫

♫ My hopes float in the darkness ♫

♫ The people on the dance floor gradually disperse ♫

♫ It should be...be...now... ♫

Chen Yun Ru, what's wrong?

The only thing you should do right now

is to find a way to help Chen Yun Ru

live past New Year's Eve of 1999.

As long as she lives past that day

regardless of what happens,

if you accomplish it, it'll be good.

Chen Yun Ru, what's wrong?

Chen Yun Ru, what's going on with you?

Don't speak.

Let me hug you for a bit.

Thank you.

Chen Yun Ru.

Can I ask

what happened with you earlier?

You were fine a second earlier

but the next second, you suddenly hugged me like you turned into another person.

Why did you cry?

What happened?

Actually earlier at your house,

I returned to 2019 for a brief moment.

You returned to 2019? Just now?

When I said I would give you a ride home?

Yes. Then.

Then what? So something happened there?

That's not right. Then how did you suddenly return?

I...I...I don't know.

I forgot.

You forgot?

I think I learned something important while I was there.

But no matter how hard I try to recall it, I can't remember.

That's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't remember it. Don't force it.

Go back and rest.

You can tell me when you remember it.

Then I'll go back and rest. Thank you for the ride home.

Chen Yun Ru.

I'll take you to school tomorrow.

With what happened to Cai Wen Rou from your class, I'm a little worried.

For your safety, I think

it's better if I take you to school.

That's that. Wait for me here tomorrow morning.

I'll come pick you up. Go and rest.

Chen Yun Ru. I'll go to school with you tomorrow.

Hey, Chen Zhi Yuan. Wake up. You're going to be late for school.

Get up now! Stop sleeping, you hear?!

What are you groaning about? Hurry and wake up!

Alright. I'll get up. So loud.

So harsh.

You seem off today.

What doesn't seem right?

I don't know. You just seem strange today.

Forget it. I'm going to brush my teeth.

What's wrong now?

Nothing. Hurry up.

Alright.

It was those three guys from last time. Ever since then,

every time they see me, they're as well-behaved as bunnies. They even said they'll treat me to drinks.

I said sure and let them treat me. I told them to treat me to three bottles.

So that day, I drank 3 bottles of drinks. I was so full.

Hey, we're going to miss the bus. Are you coming? Don't make me late.

If you're not coming, I'm leaving first.

- Morning. - Morning.

Have you been waiting long?

No.

Oh. So your boyfriend was coming to take you to school.

No wonder you seemed off this morning when I woke up.

Stop spewing nonsense. Hurry up and go to school.

Si Yuan, there's still space in the front. You want to hop on? It's a comfy seat.

No way I'm going to be third wheeling.

You brat. Talk so much nonsense.

We're going.

Bye!

This passage is narrow. Be careful.

How come you came to school together?

Just that after you left yesterday and I dropped Chen Yun Ru at home,

I suddenly remembered the things that have been going on in school recently.

I was a bit worried about Chen Yun Ru's safety so we made an agreement to go to school together for a while.

I didn't see the need, but Li Zi Wei was worried so we came together.

I think his worrying is reasonable. I'd do the same.

Alright, let's hurry. We're going to be late.

Okay.

Let's go! We're going to be late. Hurry.

- Alright. - Hurry.

- Quit touching me. - Watch your head. Idiot

- You have a fly on your neck. - No, you have a fly on your face.

My shoelace is untied.

What did you say earlier?

We're going to be late for school. Let's go.

What are you doing? Chen Yun Ru.

Hey, goody two shoes. Good morning.

Morning. Hold on.

- Do you want to tuck your shirt in? - Yeah, tuck it in.

Yeah look at Mo Jun Jie. He tucked it in well.

Hey Chen Yun Ru. Morning.

Morning.

Chen Yun Ru, good morning.

Morning.

Chen Yun Ru, why did you come so late today?

Yeah, we were waiting for you to come since we got here.

- Why are you waiting for me? - Just about Cai Wen Rou's murder yesterday.

When Ya Ting and I went to get our weekly reports at the teacher's office just now,

you know what we saw?

- What did you see? - We saw the police questioning Ding Yu Xin and Jian Ying Hui.

They were discussing about what happened to Cai Wen Rou.

They're always together. It's normal that the police would be questioning them.

Of course I know that, but the problem was

I heard Jian Ying Hui say your name.

Chen Yun Ru. Come over for a second.

Student Chen. Regarding Cai Wen Rou's murder, do you know something that you didn't tell the teacher or the police?

No. I don't know anything.

Really?

You really don't know anything?

Then Cai Wen Rou and her friends

took secret photos of you while you were changing. Did you know about this?

Did you know that before Cai Wen Rou's death, she posted the photos up on the announcement board?

But when her body was discovered, all of those photos disappeared.

Did you not know at all?

Really, I don't know anything.

Okay.

Then...did you ever think about who might be involved in this murder?

I...I don't know.

Okay. That's all.

I've asked everything I wanted to. You can go back now.

What are you still doing sitting here? Go back to class.

Chen Yun Ru.

What's wrong?

You seem different from last time at the police station when you were speaking out for Mo Jun Jie.

You seem like a completely different person.

Are you okay?

I'm just worried about you.

It's okay. Go back to class.

- Why did she get questioned? - I find it strange too.

She should be fine right?

I don't know.

Hey!

Chen Yun Ru!

What happened? Why did the police question you?

Chief, I have a question.

What is it?

That student, Chen Yun Ru, was blatantly lying.

Why did you let her go just like that?

I'm fine.

The police was just telling me that they suspect the killer who murdered Cai Wen Rou

is the same person that attacked me.

They reminded me to be careful and don't go to places alone.

I received Cai Wen Rou's autopsy report.

The report shows they found a chemical substance called

‎Ethyl Bromoacetate.

This is a very toxic poison

specially made for military poison gas use.

Inhalation, swallowing, or skin contact can cause death.

Forensics have determined that Cai Wen Rou's death was caused by

the killer injecting ethyl bromoacetate into her body with a needle and syringe.

Such dangerous chemicals should be regulated and have documentation.

It shouldn't be easy for people to obtain such chemicals.

So from that, we can start investigating from the source.

We should be able to find the killer this way then.

Do you know ethyl bromoacetate can be extracted through acetic acid, ethyl ester,

or made from unregulated medicines or chemicals used used to preserve specimens?

It's not that easy to catch the killer.

But at least we know that

the killer must have a certain level of chemical and medical background.

It's not likely it'd be a student like Chen Yun Ru who attends a liberal arts high school.

Then since you've already come to this conclusion, why did you still question Chen Yun Ru?

Because I feel that Chen Yun Ru is hiding something.

She not only knows who the killer is, but she also has more secrets.

Who knew the nonsense Li Zi Wei said before

would actually come true? The culprit who murdered Cai Wen Rou

is really the same person who attacked Chen Yun Ru.

The thing I'm most worried about now is, will that murderer come back for Chen Yun Ru?

You guys don't need to worry.

Didn't you guys say, no matter what happens, you'll protect me?

I believe that if I have you two by my side, I'll be okay.

Chen Yun Ru!

Chen Yun Ru!

Chen Yun Ru! Chen...

Ma, why are you here? Aren't you working?

I should be asking you.

Didn't you think to tell me that such a scary thing happened?

What thing?

About your classmate being murdered.

I was working and overheard the lady in the store mention it.

How is your school this scary?

Just because of that, you specifically came home?

Of course.

When I heard the lady in the shop tell me that,

I thought about that time you were knocked unconscious and almost died.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt scared.

I was so scared I couldn't eat!

Ma, don't worry about her.

I already told her, she needs to be more careful

and not to go work at Uncle's for now. But she was nonchalant.

She told me: "It's fine, you don't need to worry!"

Not taking other people's worries for her seriously.

It's not like that. I care.

I was just afraid you guys would be worried, so I didn't say anything.

Whatever, I'm going to get the phone.

You should be more careful.

I'm going to call your Uncle and let him know you aren't working this week.

Ma, you haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together.

- Chen Yun Ru, did you hear what I just said? - I did, I heard.

- Sis! - Yeah? - It's for you.

For me?

- Who? - How should I know.

- Who? - I don't know. It's a guy.

- A boy? - Let's eat.

This...this is?

This is the phone I just bought, I'm giving it to you.

- You're giving it to me? - Yeah.

When I brought you home today, I was thinking

what you told Mo Jun Jie and me about today.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was wrong.

Even if Mo Jun Jie and I stay by your side to protect you,

we can't be with you 24/7.

There must be times when you'll be alone.

So...you especially spent money to buy me a phone?

Yeah. No matter what happens,

even if Mo Jun Jie and I are not by your side, you can still contact us.

Let me teach you. This is the power button. Oh, I've already set up the speed dial for you.

You just need to press the button for 3 seconds,

and it'll call us directly.

The #1 is my number and #2 is Mo Jun Jie's.

You have to remember. And...

this is the volume button.

Li Zi Wei

If one day,

I change back into the old Chen Yun Ru,

then, what will you do?

What do you mean?

I mean,

if one day,

I return to 2019, and don't come back,

then will you continue to care about me like you do now?

Why would you suddenly ask such a weird question?

Aren't you sitting here right now?

Ignore that for now.

Just answer me.

If,

you really go back to your original time,

which is 2019,

then it doesn't necessarily mean you aren't here.

You're just

experiencing the future I haven't been to yet.

Then it's very simple, I'll go to the future that has you.

Find you, and continue to be good to you,

continue...liking you. So it'll be fine.

♫ Come away, come away ♫

♫ Come away with me ♫

Chen Yun Ru! Chen Yun Ru!

You don't need to go to the future to find me.

Because I...

Huang Yu Xuan, am right here.

I won't leave again.

Chen Yun Ru, I don't care what you're thinking now,

The most important thing right now is to stop Xie Zhi Qi.

I just think that recently

Chen Yun Ru has several areas where she's really changed.

I feel like she's not Huang Yu Xuan,

but has changed back into Chen Yun Ru.

Can you please tell me,

are you Chen Yun Ru, or Huang Yu Xuan?

When I wake up every morning, the first thought

that flashes in my mind is that...

I really miss Huang Yu Xuan.
