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 deleted a message.]

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.

[Survivors]

[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.

[C.M. Police Force]

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 means there's something important to say.

Today, Mo Yuan Zhi 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.

- Pei Shan, you follow Yu Shi Ya. - Okay.

Fang Lu, keep an eye on Tang Xin.

- Gu Song, you follow Han Yu Fei. - Got it.

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. - Understood.

Boss.

We need more people.

No problem.

So, when do we start surveillance?

- Now. - All right.

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 in 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 the M15 junction near Highway 1,

resulting in three deaths and many seriously injured people.

Currently, paramedics have rushed to the scene.

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 Yuan Zhi'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.

Yuan Zhi.

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.

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 Yuan Zhi 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 also dare to take responsibility.

I promise you that, since Ms. Tang and Mr. Mo

weren't afraid, I won't be afraid either.

I sincerely hope to gain everyone's support,

so Moma Group's research 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 A.M. today, someone tried to jump from

the top floor of the Yuehai Building, the tallest building on Paris Middle Street.

The stalemate with the police lasted for several hours,

causing large-scale congestion in traffic and on nearby streets.

By now, the person 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 shareholders' 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 Yuan Zhi is getting suspicious of me.

So what?

If Mo Yuan Zhi 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 lose 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.

100 yuan might not mean much to you,

but 100 yuan is a whole day's worth of food for my family,

Officer.

You hate Moma because they didn't pay you,

so you want to kill their CEO, Mo Yuan Zhi, right?

Why would I kill anyone?

Officer, I have no such intention!

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 falsely 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 have to keep staying by my side.

You and your team are beyond 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 Yuan Zhi.

Hello, Qi.

That delivery guy didn't do anything.

On what basis did you arrest him?

You need to give me a reason.

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

I'm sure you've been keeping up with the news.

Yes.

While 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 Hao Xin, come up.

Because just a few days ago, I received a death threat.

Keep an eye on Mo Yuan Zhi.

Understood.

It's not some prank but an official death notice.

[Ivy Bay University]

[You Yu Xiang]

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?

when suddenly a huge squid flashed onto my screen.

It was very scary-looking.

It looked at me and said,

I'll kill you.

I asked why.

It replied, "Uh..."

Then my antivirus software killed it.

Why do you want to kill Mo Yuan Zhi?

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 Yu Xiang

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 Yuan Zhi.

I've checked all of his chat history.

Nothing suspicious.

As for Professor You Yu Xiang?

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 technological advancement,

why should we give the right to decide our life and death to nature?

It doesn't make sense!

The reason we humans can keep improving for generations

is that we keep going against fate. [Kai, bring a few people to the cake shop.]

Okay. Some of you might think that [Got it]

the notion of going against fate sounds sacrilegious.

It doesn't matter.

Let my team and me...

Wang Hao Xin, come up here.

We'll take the blame.

I just hope that when we succeed,

all of us can experience...

Keep an eye on Mo Yuan Zhi

and take him back when it's over.

Understood.

If this is considered sacrilege,

then I, Mo Yuan Zhi, am sacrilegious.

- So what? - Bravo!

Nice!

Fang Lu, what's Tang Xin doing this morning?

She was in the experimental area most of the time.

I couldn't get in.

She's having coffee with a colleague now.

What are they talking about?

Just typical girl talk.

They seem to be discussing what to wear

to the Zhaos' wedding tonight.

Who is she with?

I think it's someone named An Lan, Assistant to the Chief Scientist.

What? Is she also attending the Zhaos' 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 Shao Rong's position.

She might have become Squid's target now.

Watch her carefully.

Understood.

Who exactly is Squid?
