If this is what is called an offline universe, it can indeed explain the rabbit-guiding clues that appear everywhere around the male protagonist.
What happened to that crazy Chen Xueli? What did the hero's psychiatrist find out in the end, what did he want to say when he wanted the hero's mother to call back? Is the hero dead or his mother and his sister dead? Who is the Frank that her sister mentions at the end?

The style of the whole film is very quiet, and the background music is easy to cause hallucinations, especially Jim's music, which made me groggy when I watched it in a room with insufficient oxygen.

At first the male protagonist wakes up from the mountain road and rides his bike home. Sleepwalking that night and dodging the plane's engine that came from the plane his mother took on October 30? If so, then why is his mother still alive at the end of the show...
then the male protagonist hammered the school's water pipe
and then the male protagonist burned Jim's house
and then the male protagonist finished reading Shi Tai's time travel book Book, wrote a letter to Shitai, went to Shitai's house to find cellardoor, but was beaten by a stocking ruffian, then killed Frank and his girlfriend died.
Then the plot went back to the beginning, and the male protagonist was killed by the engine.
And then the movie is over, over... over... over....
