How did you

find this place?

You have

traitors all around you.

Cheers!

Cheers.

No drinking in the lab.

What a lousy company.

You have too many rules.

If you won't drink,

I will.

They all say you approached me

just because you wanted

my father's angel investment.

They're right.

Because

you are my angel.

[MOBIUS]

[Episode 4]

[December 12, 2024] [Second Loop]

[Are you all sleeping?]

[Working hard] [Not yet...] [NO!!!]

I miss you guys.

You...

You guys hungry?

Want some late-night snacks?

Hello?

Boss,

I want to request

an early deployment.

I just fell asleep.

It's the middle of the night.

What do you want?

Something's going to happen today.

[Survivor]

[Criminal Investigation Bureau]

It's not the first time.

You need to get used to

our work intensity.

Tired?

I don't dare sleep before midnight anymore.

I'm not tired.

I'm not tired.

Meeting time.

Meeting time!

What's this?

I'm the only one without a hug?

And I even brought drinks for you all.

Calling everyone in this late,

there's something important to say.

Today, Mo Yuanzhi

has several crowded events.

Squid

is very likely

to make a move today,

which can cause massive casualties.

Qi,

your turn.

Let me assign the tasks first.

Peishan,

you follow Yu Shiya.

Okay.

Fang Lu,

keep an eye on Tang Xin.

Gu Song,

you follow Han Yufei.

Yes.

What about me?

You two will be mobile.

Follow my instructions.

From now on,

you need to treat these three people

as if they're Squid.

Where they go,

what places they visit,

who they meet,

even what they eat...

Record every single move

that they make

and report it to me.

-Yes. -Yes.

Understood.

Boss.

We need more people.

No problem.

So,

when do we start surveillance?

Now.

Alright.

Everyone, split up.

If anything happens,

report to me immediately.

Roger that.

Be careful.

A drink!

I'm refreshed now.

Thanks, Boss.

Not bad.

What's wrong?

In the past, gathering everyone

in the middle of the night

meant it was time

to solve a case.

Not bad.

Hey,

what are you looking at?

I'll keep them safe.

What a funny guy.

See that?

That's the person.

I told you that you were murdered,

but they didn't believe me.

From now on,

just watch me like this.

Watch how I

figure out

what you couldn't.

Once I find this person...

Don't let him off easy

in the afterlife.

Got it?

[Morning of December 12, 2024] [Loop Day: Second Loop]

The beginning of the day

is the easiest time

to observe changes.

If something changes,

it must've been affected by something.

And the person affecting it

is most likely

the time loop perceiver.

Just like the last loop.

From now on,

I can't trust

anyone around me.

And I

must act the same as yesterday.

Morning, Qi.

Morning.

Morning, Dr. An.

Morning.

Dr. An.

Sorry.

Dr. An.

Mr. Mo.

Sit.

Would you like some coffee?

Anything is fine.

After what happened to Ms. Tang and Mr. Han,

everyone in the company has been on edge.

Some want to climb up the ladder,

some want to leave,

and others worry about losing their jobs.

Those who can still focus on their work now

are really few and far between.

The atmosphere in the department lately

has indeed been strange.

Thank you.

Why are you thanking me, Mr. Mo?

I've observed that

you're the one

who has stayed committed to your position

without any distractions.

Sit down.

I called you here because I wanted to

discuss things.

With the current situation

of the R&D Department,

no matter

who takes over

the chief scientist position,

it will definitely trigger

a new round of conflicts.

But we must quickly select

a representative.

Otherwise, the follow-up work

cannot proceed.

So your intention

is to ask me

if I have any recommendations?

I want

you to step up.

You think I can do it?

Just tell me your honest thoughts.

I do have such ambition,

but now...

I was afraid you

didn't have such ambition.

It's good that you do.

To be honest...

I might not have much time left.

Han and Tang are both gone.

At any moment, I could also...

Also what?

Nothing.

It doesn't matter.

Even the Moma Group doesn't matter.

Even if all these buildings

were razed to the ground before my eyes,

I wouldn't feel a thing.

But the genetic research cannot stop.

Only you would understand

what I'm feeling.

From the first day

you walked into my office,

I knew

we were the same kind of people.

No matter how much profit

genetic research brings,

we are scientists first.

I was thinking...

If I appoint you directly as chief scientist,

people might not accept it.

It's better to leave that position vacant for now.

I'll temporarily appoint you as

Assistant to the Chief Scientist.

This way, the entire research team

will be under your control.

If that works for you,

I'll announce your appointment

at the upcoming shareholders' meeting,

Will the shareholders agree?

I'll handle them.

Thank you for your trust, Mr. Mo.

I'll work hard on my research.

I believe in you.

Let's go.

An Lan.

Come in during the second half

of the meeting.

Wait for me in the rest area.

A multi-vehicle collision occurred

at M15 Junction

near Highway 1,

resulting in three deaths

and many seriously injured.

Currently,

paramedics have rushed to the scene

for rescue.

Do you know Mr. Mo's wife?

Mrs. Mo rarely comes to the company.

She only appears

during shareholder meetings.

How's their relationship?

How would I know that?

That's between them as a couple.

Police.

Temporarily relinquish control of the group?

What exactly are you all suggesting?

Mr. Mo, you're currently

facing death threats.

This is not only for

the company's future.

It's also for

your personal safety.

If you choose to

temporarily step down from managing the company now,

perhaps

Squid will spare you too.

But I have two questions.

First,

how long is "temporarily?"

Second,

if I step down,

who will take over the company's daily operations?

You?

That's not your concern anymore.

When the time comes,

the general shareholders' meeting

will elect someone new.

But whether

to terminate your management rights over the group or not

can be voted on today.

You inherited shares,

not the position.

You're sitting in

your father's office

and attending this

internal management meeting

because I respected your father Han Song,

not you.

Since I've inherited the shares,

I have the right to vote.

I approve of

removing Mo Yuanzhi's

management rights at Moma Biotechnology.

My vote

represents my father.

Actually, I can give up

all the business interests.

But I don't want to lose you.

I want you to be safe.

What they just said

makes some sense.

This is only temporary.

It's not forever.

Yuanzhi.

I believe that someday,

you will

thank me for this.

My father spent

his entire life dedicated to research.

Moma's genetic research

was more important to him than his life.

I believe

if he were here today,

he would want Moma Biotechnology's authority

to be in the hands of someone who understands research.

Therefore,

I vote for Mr. Mo.

The voting is over.

But don't forget

I also have a vote myself.

If I'm not mistaken,

whether by vote count or share percentage,

I will continue to be in charge of Moma.

I have an announcement.

This morning,

I finalized the selection for

the Assistant to the Chief Scientist of the R&D Department.

Who is it?

Who is it?

An Lan.

See?

Mo Yuanzhi

just keeps appointing his own people.

These researchers...

Who knows what they're doing all day.

An Lan has only been with the company for a short while.

Moma itself has only been established for a few years.

Let's not forget

we are a biotech R&D company.

Without the dedication of our R&D Department,

what would our future depend on?

Today, I want you all to know that

for Moma,

the most valuable assets will always be those

who master our core technologies.

So that's how the glass broke.

According to company bylaws,

I hereby officially appoint

An Lan

as Assistant to the Chief Scientist of the R&D Department.

Until a Chief Scientist is appointed,

she will temporarily oversee the R&D Department's daily operations.

Mr. Mo,

may I say a few words?

Thank you to the company and Mr. Mo

for entrusting me with such an important position.

I understand the significance of this role

and I'm well aware

that accepting this position

during this critical time

means stepping up in a challenging situation.

Since I dare to accept it,

I dare to take responsibility.

I promise you

that since Ms. Tang and Mr. Mo haven't been afraid,

then I won't be afraid either.

I sincerely hope

to gain everyone's support,

so that Moma Group's research work

can get back on track soon.

I believe

this is what everyone wants to see as well.

If no one has any other objections,

we can conclude this topic.

An Lan,

go to the R&D Department and make preparations.

Regarding the position transfer,

I'll have HR handle it as soon as possible.

Okay.

I have nothing else to discuss.

Then,

meeting adjourned.

Dismissed.

Boss,

there's a traffic jam ahead.

We can't pass through now.

We can't be late.

Let's take another route.

Got it, Boss.

Around 11 o'clock today,

someone tried to jump from

the top floor of Yuehai Building,

the tallest building on Paris Middle Street.

The jumper was in a standoff with the police for hours,

causing large-scale congestion.

Currently, the jumper has been rescued by the police.

Hello.

Hi there.

Let's go inside.

Let's talk inside.

See you in a bit.

You promised me

that the shareholder meeting would go perfectly,

which is why I agreed to take the risk.

But what happened?

If you had worked with me,

it would have been foolproof.

I'm worried that Yuanzhi

is getting suspicious of me.

So what?

If Mo Yuanzhi

doesn't let go of Moma,

Squid will make a move against him.

What's your relationship

with Moma?

I used to work

in their technical department.

But three months ago,

I quit.

Do I still need to be questioned?

I've already left the company.

Well,

what's your attitude toward them?

Attitude?

The power at Moma

is in the hands of those researchers.

How could it come down to us?

That's why

we need to figure out

what exactly they're researching.

I just went there to ask for my money

and you brought me here instead.

They owe me money.

Is it wrong to ask for what's mine, officer?

Officer, I need to take this call.

-It's a client. -Sit down!

The client is urging...

Sit down!

You wouldn't want your husband

to end up like my father and Ms. Tang,

and give up his life, would you?

I'm just a delivery guy.

I only make a few yuan per order,

but if I'm late by a few minutes,

I have to pay a 100-yuan penalty.

A few minutes

don't affect you at all.

But people will still report me.

One hundred yuan

might not mean much to you,

but 100 yuan

is money for a whole day's worth of food for my family,

Officer.

So,

you hate Moma

because they didn't pay you,

so you want to kill their CEO Mo Yuanzhi,

right?

Why would I kill anyone?

Officer,

I didn't do it!

I need money.

I went there

to confront them.

I went to Moma

to make them give me the severance pay

that I deserve!

I just want them to give me the money.

That's it!

If he died, who would pay me?

I didn't do it.

Don't wrongfully accuse me,

Officer.

Your delivery order has timed out.

I'll say it again.

If there's any danger,

don't get others involved.

I know why you agreed.

If you protect me too well,

Squid will never appear again.

Then you'll have to

keep guarding me forever.

You and your team

are already exhausted.

To be honest,

I'm exhausted too.

He's saying the same things as in the previous loop.

Hello, professors.

Hello, students.

I'm your student and alumnus,

Mo Yuanzhi.

Hello, Qi.

That delivery guy

didn't do anything.

What basis did you arrest him on?

You need to give me a reason.

I really can't figure out who's in charge here.

You've probably seen the news lately.

Yes.

While my Moma Group

has achieved some success,

we've also offended many people.

To be honest,

it's a miracle that I'm standing here...

Wang Haoxin, come up.

With all four limbs intact.

Just a few days ago,

I received a death threat.

Keep an eye on Mo Yuanzhi.

Understood.

It wasn't some prank.

It was a very formal death threat.

[Ivy Bay University]

[You Yuxiang]

Mr. You.

Yes, that's me.

Who are you?

May I look around?

Come in.

You seem interested in

my clocks.

Why are there so many clocks in this room?

I just want to constantly remind myself

how important time is.

Have you heard of Lyubishchev?

He was a famous Soviet entomologist.

Lyubishchev.

"A Strange Life."

I've read his book.

Like him,

I'm also a biologist.

But my control of time

is far inferior to his.

So how do you want to...

How do you want to control time?

Lyubishchev

could very clearly record

the time he spent on each activity,

so he could cherish every minute and second.

Therefore, his time

could be doubled.

But I can't.

Isn't that a pity?

What's the benefit of doubling your time?

With doubled time, you can do

many meaningful things.

Like what?

Like...

I have to go.

What do you want?

Mr. You.

A life for a life.

Is it worth it?

What do you mean?

Suddenly, a huge squid

appeared on my screen.

It was very scary looking.

It looked at me and said,

"I'll kill you."

I asked why.

It replied, "Uh..."

Then it was

killed by my antivirus software.

Why do you want to kill Mo Yuanzhi?

Have we

met somewhere before?

Take him away.

In this loop,

I've already changed too much.

But I must

restrain Fu Jun and You Yuxiang

to make the real Squid

show itself.

Who reported me?

Nobody reported me, right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

What is all this?

Yes.

I know.

Many people oppose Moma.

How are things outside?

And our genetic research.

There was a small group

of protesters with banners earlier.

They've all left now.

They think we've violated the laws of nature.

Can someone explain to me

what the laws of nature are?

The sun sets

and it gets dark.

So naturally, we should go to sleep,

right?

Then why did we invent lights

and the TV?

Why do we stay up late?

How unnatural is that?

The sun rises

and it gets bright.

So naturally, we should get up,

right?

Right?

Is my lecture boring?

Look at you.

I stayed up late last night.

What did you say?

You stayed up late last night?

Are you crazy?

Do you not want to be natural?

You're not following the law,

are you?

Is that so?

Boss.

Qi,

the delivery guy

really doesn't have

any motive to kill Mo Yuanzhi.

I've checked all of his

chat history.

Nothing suspicious.

As for Professor You Yuxiang?

Even though the syringe in his hand contained poison,

it doesn't prove he's guilty.

Can you stall for another half hour,

just to be safe?

Stall some more?

I'll say it again.

Give me a reason.

Young people these days are so rude.

Do I really owe him my life?

A life for a life.

Is it worth it?

It's worth it.

You have no evidence.

You should let me go now.

Why?

Because in today's state of tech advancement,

why should we

give the right of deciding our life and death

to nature?

It doesn't make sense!

The reason why humans can

continue to develop and progress

generation after generation

is because

we keep defying nature.

[Kai, bring a few people to the cake shop.]

Okay.

Someone must think

that the phrase "defying nature"

[Got it]

sounds somewhat sacrilegious.

It doesn't matter.

Let me and my team...

Wang Haoxin,

come up here.

We'll take the blame.

I just hope

that when we succeed,

each one of us

can enjoy this technological era.

Keep an eye on Mo Yuanzhi

and take him back when it's over.

Understood.

If this is considered a sacrilege,

then I, Mo Yuanzhi, am sacrilegious.

So what?

Bravo!

Nice!

Fang Lu.

What did Tang Xin do this morning?

She was in the experiment area most of the time.

I couldn't get in.

Now she's having coffee with colleagues.

What are they talking about?

Just typical girl talk.

They seem to be discussing

what to wear

to the Zhao family's wedding tonight.

Who is she with?

I think it's someone called

An Lan, Assistant to the Chief Scientist.

What?

Is she also attending the Zhao family's wedding?

Not just her.

I heard

all of Moma's executives are going.

Keep a close eye on An Lan.

Don't let her out of your sight.

Watch her?

She

just took over Tang Shaorong's position.

She might have become

Squid's target now.

Watch her carefully.

Understood.

Who exactly is Squid?

Why are there so many changes?
