Dear viewers, I'm now standing

in front of Rhyzen headquarters.

Rhyzen claims their product can let you

surf the Internet directly through your mind

Let's view some footage

from the product launch earlier today.

I'm very proud to announce

the successful development of Super Mind

which the late Mr Watanabe had high hopes for.

Today, it will be officially launched

in Rhyzen's experiential stores worldwide.

We will be releasing a limited edition

of 100,000 sets.

100,000 sets?

So 100,000 minds will be connected

to help him open the gate.

Half an hour from now, we'll be having

a global Super Mind online party here.

I saw many fans queuing up outside.

As I promised earlier, we'll be

giving away 1,000 sets of Super Mind

right here today for free.

Eight years ago, Mo Qifeng made use of

36 pairs of twins to conduct research on

telepathic communication.

Then he kidnapped 103 girls

for his research on mind-to-mind connection

which he succeeded in making wireless

at the mental health facility.

Now, he wants to make use of 100,000 people

to open the gate for him.

And the public is there queuing up to do it.

Super Mind, bringing the world to you.

I'll see you later.

What is behind that gate?

I think it's the Abyss of Consciousness.

What's that?

Theoretically, that's the repository

of all of mankind's consciousness.

Why does Mo Qifeng want to open the gate

and access the Abyss of Consciousness?

He wants to save his wife, Li'an.

He thinks her consciousness

is trapped in the abyss.

What will happen if he opens the gate?

Ten years ago

I accidentally opened it

when I was in Li'an's dreamscape.

There was an explosion in my lab

and I lost two of my best friends.

If it's as dangerous as you make it out to be

those people trying on Super Mind might die.

And how is Mo Qifeng so sure that

his wife's consciousness is behind the gate?

I don't know.

But I sensed Anya's presence behind the gate.

Dr Cheng's behind that gate too?

When I touched the gate

I could communicate with Anya.

And you just left her there?

I don't know how to open that gate!

I don't want to take any risks

and end up hurting someone.

I'm not Mo Qifeng!

You hear me?

What brings you here? What's the matter?

Here, sit down.

Here.

I went to the hospital with him yesterday.

What did the doctor say?

He said there was nothing wrong with us.

We're not infertile.

Stress can affect the ability to conceive.

Perhaps Qifeng is too stressed.

He really wants to find

the Abyss of Consciousness.

Experiments are all about trial and error.

He can't rush things.

If he finds the Abyss of Consciousness

does that mean he can have

his own laboratory and research team?

Of course.

I'll be his assistant then.

He has always wanted to surpass you.

I know.

Can you help him?

Li'an

I let him use the dream raiding machine

for his experiments three days a week.

Can you tweak his experiment for him?

Listen to me.

Even though Qifeng is my student

this is his research.

Unless he comes to me for help

I cannot interfere. Do you understand?

Please help him.

This is the methodology he drafted.

No. Let me talk to him first, OK?

All right.

When we were in Hokkaido

he would have sudden mood swings.

I could sense his angst and fury

simmering beneath.

I think it's a result of his unhappy childhood.

I know his father used to beat him

when he was little.

He hit you again?

Come on, I'll go to the hospital with you.

No, it's OK.

I shouldn't have tried

to make him open up to me.

Maybe he has a point.

I should stay home

be a doll and just sit there, smiling prettily.

You're not a doll.

You're the kindest and smartest woman

I've ever met!

You're my only friend here.

Please...

help me.

You're up.

I've read through his experiment.

What do you think the problem is?

Qifeng's method requires

a large amount of nerve impulses

to explore the Abyss of Consciousness.

But how is he going to explore it

if he can't even find the entrance?

Can you help him find the entrance?

I don't think it's the quantity

of nerve impulses that matters.

I have a theory that

under specific conditions

when the frequencies of two nerve impulses

achieve a temporary state of resonance

the resultant spike in amplitude

can trigger a chain reaction

and lead us to the entrance.

I don't really get it.

Simply put, it's like telepathy.

I'm his wife. If telepathy is all that's needed

why can't I achieve resonance with him?

Telepathy has more to do with

the compatibility of nerve impulses.

Why don't you try connecting with him?

I've connected with him more than 100 times

when we developed the dream raiding machine

but we found nothing.

What if I connect with you?

No way.

Are you so sure it won't work?

If there's even a sliver of chance it'll work

I want to give it a go.

Is there any way to cancel the event?

There's nothing illegal about a marketing event.

Why don't we call in a bomb threat?

A fake bomb threat will only

delay the event for a few hours.

Besides, we're the police. We can't do that.

All of Mo Qifeng's attempts

to connect people's minds have been disastrous.

Maybe he's been doing it the wrong way.

Mo Qifeng has always believed that

consolidating nerve impulses

is the way to the Abyss of Consciousness.

I don't know if he is right.

I just know that 100,000 people worldwide

might die in 25 minutes' time.

Let's go.

Only 20 spots left.

All right... all the spots are filled.

He's the special guest, Professor Cheng Tianli.

Soon, you can communicate with people directly

without having to use your phone or tablet.

Rhyzen's revolutionary product, Super Mind

connects you to the world seamlessly.

There'll be no more barriers between you...

What should we do? The event has started.

We're now connected to New York

Tokyo and Dubai.

So far the users seem fine.

Mo Qifeng will only take action

when he has 100,000 minds connected.

It won't take long. The hall is at full capacity.

He doesn't care if he gets arrested for this?

He's not one to pull punches.

Don't forget, he has said time and again

that Super Mind is Watanabe's creation.

Should the 100,000 users die

he'd say it's a conspiracy between Watanabe

and an international criminal syndicate.

Ma Siwei will be nothing more than

an unwitting pawn.

He'll just have to step down from his position.

No, we must think of a way

to get these idiots to take off Super Mind.

I have an idea. Che Na.

We're connected to Vancouver too!

Give me the microphone.

—Hello, everybody! —Hello.

I have awesome news.

We're going to be picking out

a lucky winner to dine with Ma Siwei

the CEO of Rhyzen, on a cruise ship.

Isn't that fabulous?

Where are you going?

Come with me.

The lucky winner will also

walk away with a Rhyzen electric supercar.

Isn't that awesome?

Now, here's the key.

Take off your Super Mind device

and check the inside of the headband.

If your device has "Ma Siwei" inscribed on it

you're the lucky winner!

Take it off... come on!

Don't be so smug.

It's a fire alarm. Don't panic.

Keep calm and walk towards

the nearest emergency exit.

Move towards the nearest emergency exit.

Move it.

Take it off.

Li Xiao! Evacuate the premises.

I'm going to try to crash their server.

—Wait for my sign. —OK.

It worked, but what about

the users around the world?

Let's just save as many people as we can.

Evacuate the premises first.

Li'an?

You're the kindest and smartest woman

I've ever met.

Please...

help me.

Still thinking of raiding dreams with my wife?

I'm going to save Li'an today.

No one can stop me.

Qifeng! Wake up!

Qifeng!

It's been ten years.

We finally get to work together again.

You're making use of 100,000 people

to open the gate for you?

You'll find out soon.

Why go through the hassle?

The two of us will suffice.

We don't have enough energy.

I need 100,000 people to be the other key.

Li'an wouldn't want you to save her this way.

Do you want to save Anya

or are you going to waste our time?

I only have six months left.

I don't want to spend the remaining

six months of my life lying there.

You don't have brain cancer.

What are you saying?

I have a massive tumour in my head.

You had gone behind the gate

before they had the chance to tell you.

It's a benign hyperplasia.

Your brain is evolving

to connect you to people's dreamscapes.

—Dad? —Anya?

So, I'm alive and healthy

but I can't get back inside my body?

You'll get used to it.

And you'll develop the abilities I have.

I just want to go back.

You can try all want.

And after that, you'll learn to give up.

Aunt Li'an?

We're counting down

to the online launch of Super Mind.

—Ten. —Look!

—Nine. —They're putting it back on.

—Eight. —Police!

—Seven. —Don't put that on. Take it off!

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Rabbit.

Police! Don't wear that. Take it off.

Take it off!

—It's too late. —Take it off!

—Where's the switch? —Let's go. Run!

Come on, put your hand on it.

I have the collective energy of

the nerve impulses of 100,000 people.

Let's open the gate together.

This won't work.

Your method is wrong.

You've been doing it wrongly for ten years.

Shut up!

I have the energy of 100,000 people.

I know I can open the gate!

You're not Superman.

Don't worry. I won't kill you.

I want you to watch me save Li'an

and then I'll leave you here forever.

0508 calling Unit Two. We need backup.

We need immediate backup.

Immediate backup!

Hey! Let go of her!

Don't hit my Che Na!

Stop it.

Go help Li Xiao.

Be careful.

Hurry, Xie Xiaoyu.

Take the stairs. Hurry!

Stay here.

Who the hell is calling me at this time?

I'm only asking for immediate support

because all hell has broken loose here.

I know. We're on our way.

Che Na, Xie Xiaoyu and I are trapped.

Everyone outside has gone mad.

You have to remove

the Super Mind device they're wearing.

—We'll be right there. —Hurry!

Where's the power switch?

Where's the power switch?

Rabbit!

Rabbit!

The AI in the dream raiding machine

only recognises my vocal print.

I'm not leaving this place

until I save Li'an!

If you don't want to stay here

pick a place where you want to go.

I just want to go back to the real world.

You're on your own then.

It hurts.

Paramedics are on their way. Hang in there.

Xie Xiaoyu, how do we get Cheng Tianli out?

—Find the power switch. —I can't find it.

Is this the sign?

You're on your own then.

You're a quick learner.

Li'an tried her hardest to love you.

Shut up!

But you were possessive and abusive.

You made it impossible for her to love you.

She loves me?

You caused the explosion in our lab!

Li'an is in this state because of you!

You didn't love her or cherish her

when she was with you.

It's too late to make amends

and redeem yourself now, Mo Qifeng.

I could resonate with Li'an

because I knew her very well.

You'll never be able to understand

the love we shared!

Li'an, I'm coming!

Don't you want to save Anya?

Anya...

Anya wouldn't want me to sacrifice

the lives of 100,000 people to save her.

She wouldn't.

No!

Wait!

This might be the circuit

that controls the flow of the nerve impulses.

If you unplug it, Professor Cheng will be

trapped in there forever.

But he wants me to unplug it.

—You'll kill him. —But...

I trust you.

Qifeng, stop!

Keep them away from the dream raiding machine!

The fight is still going on outside.

Come with me.

Move!

Cheng Tianli.

Cheng Tianli?

I told you not to unplug it!

Professor Cheng is trapped inside.

Qifeng, stop or you'll die!

Li'an!

Li'an and I really tried to help you!

Open the gate!

Qifeng...

Professor Cheng!

Dad.

Anya, is that you?

Dad.

I'm sorry.

The fire in the lab only happened because

I agreed to enter the dreamscape with Li'an.

In the last ten years

your letters to me were the only thing

that kept me going in prison.

I know you're angry at me

for not writing back.

I didn't reply because I felt I wasn't fit.

I'm the most irresponsible father in the world.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you.

You're a better scientist than I am.

You love science as much as I do.

I've always wanted to tell you that

I'm really proud of you.

Dad.

I might be trapped here forever.

You weren't around for most of my life.

You're the most annoying teacher I've ever had.

For a while, I really hated you.

But you were also the one

who made me fall in love with science

and brought me into this world.

I'm sorry

that our last conversation ended in a fight.

I've been beating myself up over it.

I'm so sorry.

Anya.

Please forgive me.

I can't open this gate to save you.

But you must remember that

I love you very much.

I love you too.

Anya, are you all right?

Dad.

Aunt Li'an!

Hurry, Aunt Li'an. Come out!

Come on.

—Aunt Li'an! —No.

Aunt Li'an!

Anya...

—Cheng Tianli... —Get me out of here.

Hurry...

Hello, Dr Qin.

Cheng Anya is awake.

Thank you...

She's awake.

Li'an, why didn't you come out?

I'm sorry that I'm such a lousy father.

You're not lousy

you're just too busy with work.

I should've spent more time with you.

But it's your duty to catch the bad guys

and protect us.

I love you very much.

Promise you'll video call me

every morning and night.

I will.

Visit me once you're on vacation.

OK.

OK, let's take a picture together

so I can look at you when I'm on the plane.

Here.

—Like this? —Wait.

Make sure you smile.

Here we go.

Let me see. Don't cry.

Look.
