back to the start! ——Up to EP15 plot analysis

The brain-burning level of EP15 has reached its peak. Several settings of the screenwriter are mainly shown in this scene, and some of these settings I personally feel are worth scrutinizing logically.

These settings are very important to understand the progression of the plot, and they are listed here as follows:

1. When time stops, in addition to King Gong and Li Lin can move, they can also carry things with them to move, but other things can't move, and they can't change the relative progress of objects. Here, Li Lin is limited by this set condition twice. He cannot push the needle and cannot shoot. This set boundary is actually quite subtle. For example, the newspaper King Gun in other people's hands seems to be able to be taken or thrown away. It seems that it is not a problem to rub it into a ball, but why is it impossible to push the needle tube? But this setting does not interfere much with the overall plot, and it can be considered in the past. In other words, without this setting, the plot can be advanced in the original direction.

2. Li Lin's snorkel can only be used when Li Lin holds it, because his blood has been soaked on it. This setting also means that in 2020, if you want to open the door of Li Lin's time and space, someone must bring Li Lin with him. In other words, if either Li Lin or Li Gong died, even if they had two and a half sips, they could only use them as half. However, it is worth noting that this limitation was not valid before the Sidhi was cut in half, because at that time the Sidhi had not been stained with Li Lin's blood. This is very important, it is the key to breaking the game.

3. When the Siphons merged into one, the gates of time and space changed, from green poles to red. According to Li Lin, it can lead to eternity and infinity. However, since Sidi no longer weeps after the two become one, the day of rebellion cannot be returned. This setting is somewhat contradictory. A gate of time and space with eternity and infinity but unable to rebel that day? In any case, under this limitation, to return to the day of rebellion, the only thing that can be done is to enter the gate of time and space from the empire, and the other to enter the gate of time and space from the Republic of China. Maybe both of them can enter from the Empire or the Republic of China. In short, they get half and half of each other and enter at the same time.

4. Based on the current screenwriter's logic, that is, the fact that people in the future are killed at a past time point will not hinder the direction of the event. (For example, Li Lin, who is alive now, was in the 1994 version) This setting is very debatable and can make the plot logic very fragile. This means that we do not need to worry about the life and death of Li Gong in the past time in 2020, because what is more important is the life and death of Li Gong in 1994, even if Li Gong died in 2020 in 1994, Li Gong in 1994 will still grow to 20 years and beyond. is proper. This is indeed a bug of the writers. According to what I said in the previous article Breaking the fate of reincarnation, logically, the prerequisite for the 1994 version of Li Lin to live after February 2020 (the time travel point) is that he chooses not to travel back in February. In 1994, or if he chooses to travel back to 1994 in February, he does not go to see Li Lin in the past, but directly kills Li Gun in 1994. If he chooses the former, then Li Gun will not be able to travel back to 1994 and 1994. Gun has to die. If he chooses the latter, Li Gun will have to die in 1994, so if Li Lin is alive after February 2020, Li Gun will have to disappear. The only way to break the game is when Li Gong, who grew up in 94, and Cao Ying and Xin Zai, grabbed Li Lin, who grew up in 94, before February 2020, and then completed the crossing in February 2020. And this should appear as a memory for Li Gun in 2020. But so far, it seems that the writers have not arranged so.

5. Changes made in history will have an impact on the present, overwrite the present of the previous version, and keep it as a new memory. This is a relatively good setting for the screenwriter, and it is also more logical. In the previous article, I have already stated it, and I will repeat it here. For example, in the first time crossing, Li Gong did not shoot Bu Rongjun's son, then as we saw in ep11, Bu Rongjun's son in 2020 is not a lame man. In the second crossing, Li Gong shot and injured Bu Rongjun's son, so in 2020 Bu Rongjun's son became a lame (ep15), and the growth experience of the lame person has been completely covered, and both the memory and the process are completely different. Not anymore, and the latest memory is of being shot long ago. These corrected histories become new existences for future people and are preserved as new memories and physical forms (eg, a lame leg, a recording of Li Gong's 1994 police call). Based on this assumption, we can imagine that if the 1994 version of Li Gun grew up to 2019 and did not meet Taiyi due to an accident, what would it mean for Li Gun in 2020? According to this logic, his memory of seeing Taiyi after 2019 will disappear.

Well, now based on the above assumptions, we can take stock of the plot. As I guessed in the previous article, due to following the instructions of King Gong on the 2019 rowing day of the 20th edition, (this will remain in Cao Ying's mind in 2020 as a new memory) Cao Ying and Xin Zai Together, they found Li Lin's lair in the Republic of China and the crossing point, caught Li Lin, and got the Sidi. However, due to the limitation of setting 3, if King Gong wants to return to the night of rebellion, he can only follow the method of the second time travel and let the flute overlap in the strange space. According to King Gong's plan, Xianzai will take Li Lin from the Republic of China into the strange space, and now it is very likely that Taiyi will take Li Lin with him (I don't know if Xingzai will follow); Enter at the same time for the third time travel! After returning to the night of rebellion, he plans to kill the 94 version of Li Lin, (because killing the 2020 version of Li Lin will not work), to bring everything back to the original point. Of course, Li Lin is likely to try his best to get rid of Taiyi's control and assist the 94th version of Li Lin to kill the 94th version of King Gong, making his last blog.

If the screenwriter wants a HE ending, then the 94 version of King Gong cannot die, and the 94 version of Li Lin must die. In this way, the 2020 version of Li Lin disappeared naturally. It is possible that Cao Ying will be injured or killed to protect the 94 version of King Gong (or the 2020 version of King Gong), but don't cry, because it doesn't matter if the 2020 version is dead, as long as the 94 version of Cao Ying is alive. The 1994 version of King Gong got the complete Sidi (it may be two and a half, but not stained with Li Lin's blood) and still got the Taiyi brand (this is very important). Due to the death of version 94 Li Lin, the doors of the two following worlds were not opened, and all those killed by Li Lin were resurrected and lived according to the original trajectory. Whether the salary was thrown into the river by the mother is unknown. Going back to the 2020 version of 1994, Taiyi and King Gong disappeared automatically, because they were covered by a new time trajectory, and they should have grown up in their own worlds without knowing each other. However, the 1994 version of King Gong was still looking for Taiyi when he grew up because he held the Taiyi brand in his hand. It is possible that one day, after seeing the video of Taiyi in 2022 on the computer (this is after crossing the time point) video, it won't disappear), use the complete siphon in his hand to open the door and find Taiyi, although the memory no longer exists, but the love does not die.

Although it feels far-fetched, it can barely be HE.

In addition, I will add some lines that the screenwriter buried.

1. Why did Taiyi's purple flowers disappear? Because the timeline has been reshaped. King Gong, who was about to cross for the third time, did not go to say goodbye to Taiyi.

2. King Gong has long inferred from the poetry collection that Lu Shanggong is from the Republic of China, and this little foreshadowing is still very good.

3. Li Lin used a pregnant woman to kill Bu Rongjun's granddaughter, preventing Li Gong's succession. The line of pregnant women has a beginning and an end. It's just that killing Bu Rongjun's granddaughter still needs to play such a complicated game, it feels a bit overkill. . .

4. Prime Minister Goo's mother was replaced, and Prime Minister Goo performed quite well in that episode.

5. Li Lin really threatened the salary, and praised the eldest brother for his standpoint of justice! Especially for Xianzai, supporting Li Gun means his life will be completely changed. Following the empire's mother doesn't even know if he will be thrown into the river. Thinking of this, I admire Xianzai very much, and I understand the director's previous layout. A large number of details of his interactions with the underworld boss are completely to pave the way for his character. It's just that why does King Gong believe in the salary so unreservedly? Is it because of Taiyi's recommendation? Also, Li Lin's threat is too weak, just throw two photos? No action at all! At least he should kidnap the mother of the Republic of China, right? The details of the choreography here are a little weak.

6. Someone left a message asking where Li Gun of the 94th edition went after February 2020 (the time crossing point), leaving aside the timeline bug of Li Lin given by the screenwriter, if every time crossing is a complete repetition, then Li Gun's timeline should be after being rescued in 1994, growing to 2020, returning to save Xiao Li Gun in 1994, staying in the strange space until February 2020, and then going down. It can be seen that there will be no two Li Guns after February 2020. The period from 1994 to February 2020 was a constant cycle for Li Gun.

7. Why did the 20th version of Li Lin disappear after being killed by the 94th version of Li Lin? Siddy is from 2020, and it is not in the same time and space as the 94 version of Li Lin, so it cannot be held by the 94 version of Li Lin. The logic itself is very strict, but thinking that Taiyi's work permit has been owned by Li Gun of the 94th edition for so many years, the logic of the screenwriter can only be haha. In short, once it is related to time travel, it is really difficult to be logically self-consistent.

The most moving scene in this episode is still not Taiyi crying to his elder brother to go to Li Gong, but Cao Ying's determination to follow King Gong in front of the building pole.

Looking forward to the finale.
