40 eps. I liked it. A lot. I discovered a really good actor, because this Zhu Yi Long that played Shen Wei is great, and I liked the special friendship between the main two characters, and the interactions between the many others. I liked how deeply they loved each other, not necessarily in a romantic way but in a special one nonetheless, how deep and unlimited their love was. They made it a bromance, but I love how they managed to keep the love real, it's almost tangible. Many times Shen Wei has a look on his face, that is like an open window to his heart for everyone to see...
And anyway, although apparently they made it a bromance because of censorship in China against homosexuality, it's not like it's "really" shown as a bromance. They say they are friends, and that's undoubtedly true, and they never use words of love and obviously they never kiss, but besides that, they show the love in every other possible way. Shen Wei's face when he said he looked for him for 10.000 years, the last scene when he was crying saying they'll meet again... if this wasn't enough, there's Zhu Hong's dream episode. What with all that about Zhao willing to die for Shen Wei? About the fact that in his heart she can't compare with him? That clearly meant that he loves him, I mean, since when having a friend means you can't have a girlfriend? Only if by friend you actually mean boyfriend..
(EDIT: and let's not talk about the way ShenWei kept moving his eyes from Zhao's eyes to his lips during that dramatic scene 'you're worth it'... anyway, this series only had a few little problems in my opinion: -DaQing became little more than a boring kid, none of the sassy cat in the book and very little is shown about their incredible friendship; -there something I can't really put my finger on exactly, maybe the clothes they wore who knows, that makes them seem... small somehow, I mean they are not but they always look so small... ; -Zhao's character in the series is totally human, with no powers at all, so it seems like sometimes they didn't know what to do with him, BaiYu as well, so he's there and he's important only because he's important to SW and because he's the chief... but he doesn't really do much until the end.
(EDIT: I'll say it, this character broke my heart, I read the novel too (the part translated into English, that is, which is half of it) and I'm glad that in there they end up together and happy, but I really missed "seeing" him happy, he suffered so much for so long, I feel him so close (Shen Wei) I really wanted to "see" him happy, his happy face, really happy and content... these people, they're breaking my heart, I must detach myself from all this.. I had hopes the novel might have more happiness.. will they ever make a sequel where Shen's soul will finally be happy ? I must choose very carefully from now on which dramas to watch... this one has consumed me, left me empty.. which is not its fault, I know that and I know me, it's just how it is.)
My fav was obviously Shen Wei, played by Zhu YiLong, no surprise there, no way I could resist a mysterious hero in a black cloak and black mask who disguises as a professor with glasses, as long as it was well played there was no chance I wouldn’t like him. And here it was well played, Zhu YiLong was good, really really good. Shen Wei was a strong fighter, a lonely young man, a fragile person near the person he cares about, plus he also played the big bad guy Ye Zun, vengeful, manipulative. Cute too, although he (ZYL) looks better with his hair just a bit wild and casual clothes (formal clothes make him look... smaller.. sorry..). The only little detail is that sometimes he doesn't sound natural when he has to yell.. anyway, he's great, and nobody can do 'pure and innocent' like him, it must be hell for his girlfriend..
BTW, is it just me or he blushed when KunLun took away his mask? I mean, he didn't, but somehow it seems like he did :-p
Seriously though, who could possibly not love Shen Wei to bits? He was so good, so caring, so lonely, so dedicated, so loyal, so fragile and so strong... indeed more unreal than his powers, but still, designed to be loved with all one's soul. Many people on the internet call it a BL story, putting all the emphasis on that, and I understand why, but... I don't know yet how they know and fall for each other in the novel, but in the series... well, we see a strong but very lonely young man with the weight of the world on his shoulders, always alone, making decisions, never really talking to anyone.. until a person makes him feel not alone anymore (you have me, I won't let you fight alone), who understands him and what he does, who talks to him, who wants to know about him, who is really interested in what he says, who really likes him for what he is, who makes him smile, who can lift that weight... honestly I think that after finding someone like that nothing would have mattered, not gender or age or appearance or anything, he would have loved that person no matter what... sure, I don't put that much importance to the fact that they're both male because I'm a very simple person, to me love is good/hate is bad, I'm so simple that to me, when a person can be happy in this tough world without hurting anybody, that's a good thing, it doesn't seem complicated to me at all... so I understand Shen Wei's feelings and I love him with all my heart. I wonder if he will become one of the very few characters that stay with me forever...
Anyway, back to the show.
I loved it. Sure there were many little things that were absurd (knowing a code at the first attempt by looking at the erosion on the buttons... touching a man and detecting, not a gun, but a very thin and small sheet of paper... just to name a couple, but there were lots) but I didn't care much.

Chinese people must be really fond of tragic scenes and death scenes and heroic/romantic deaths.. anyway this ending is acceptable, not like IceFantasy. I really wanted Shen Wei and ZhaoYunlan to be together forever, but I can see how this is a good ending, and probably the right one, since they had made the enemy so powerful there was no way to get a real ‘happy ending’, there had to be deaths and to kill off all the others to leave the two of them alive wouldn’t have been a happy ending at all, on the contrary it would have been their failure.
It saddens me though that if you think about it they’ve been with each other for such a short period of time! Like, one day in the past and only a few months in the present...
p.s. I rewatched a bit and, does it say that according to the ancient book KunLun wrote something about the hallows?something like that? how long did he stay in the past? what they showed us appeared to be no more than two days and one night... was it more?
Also, sometimes they say that ShenWei "waited" for 10.000 years, but he was like buried for all that time and was only 'found' recently... was he conscious of time passing when he was buried?

I was also sad about the deaths of the two ‘ghosts’ and of the cat-girl, so unlucky poor thing. Specially the ghosts, I liked them very much.
The funny thing was that since the first moment he saw him Shen was the one with deep deep feelings, and yet Zhao was the one who always seemed to be flirting with him :-p
One thing is not clear though. How long do Dixings live? Because they have children and grow old too, and yet when Shen Wei was found he looked exactly like 10.000 years before...
Little detail: in China cats have seven lives as in Italy? In America they apparently have nine, but in here I counted seven for the poor cat-girl , really unlucky cat-girl: she died :1 saving DaQing, 2 with her first husband 3 in front of her next man 4 & 5 her last husband killed her 6 Shen hit her and she fell on her head 7 the last one.
Edit- can't get enough of Shen Wei :-) but I'm glad I didn't recognise BaiYu because I found out from a yt video that he's the one that played CaoGuang.... I hated CaoGuang... despised him, I'm glad here he had a bit of beard and different hair so I didn't make the connection :-)
Also, I don't think I mentioned how much I liked the music, the opening theme was strong, and the ending song is just beautiful, makes me cry every time I hear it.
A very peculiar thing is that I didn't cry at the very last scene... I still can't believe it, I would have cried usually, but not this time, I was like mesmerised by his eyes, so much emotion in them, really really good job, 朱一龙， I have no words...
(psssst, Zhu Yi Long is so talented he can do anything but, you know, just don't make him dance though, it's not compulsory, one is allowed not to dance right? He can act and sing, just don't make him dance, will you?)

Haixing planet. More than 10.000 years ago an alien race came, and some dna fused with plants and animals dna and generated new dna. Yashou tribe can transform into plants or animals. Other aliens stayed deep underground, and were called the Dixing people. They mutated too and had powers to control elements and people. A meteor hit the planet causing much damage, and the Dixing people were forced to come out, and started to battle Haixing and Yashou people to get their resources, and there was a war, but creating four magical things the Haixing won. There was a peace...
Special Investigation department, new recruit Guo ChangCheng meets boss Zhao Yunlan, then Hong the girl who is a snake, cat-man Da Qin, science-man Lin JIng and a floating-girl.
Biology teacher Shen Wei’s student Li Qian feels followed, then the next day another girl is found murdered and Zhao investigates. It appears that strange things are looking for Li Qian, and when Guo is attacked by a black-smoke-man, Chu helps him fighting it with his puppets.
The first time Shen Wei sees Zhao he has an expression like he’s screaming inside :-p I love so much the scene when Shen Wei holds his hand a bit too long because he's staring at him like mesmerised...
apparently Shen Wei knows him from 10.000 years before, but only he remembers it, Zhao knows nothing about it. Shen Wei sees that Li Qian pendant is one of those Four Things when they are attacked by that black-smoke-man, he helps her and they run away. He calls Zhao to tell him that the Dixing is there after them (he says on the phone : "it's me" ...). He fights it to protect her, then Chu saves her after he ‘falls down’, and then a black-cloaked figure comes stopping time to take the attacker away.

Li Qian does a lot of work to take care of her sick grandma.
2
Li Qian tries to kill herself now that her grandma died by taking too many pills; she even confesses to kill her later, but she didn’t, she wanted to kill herself but then didn’t because there was her grandma there. Guo is sent to look after Li Qian at the hospital, and when a Dixing arrive he surprisingly acts rather bravely, but it’s Shen who fights him off. When they meet again, grandma’s spirit helps Qian and then Black-Cloak comes to take the bad guy away. Zhao takes Li Qian’s holy pendant, speaks with Cloak who decides to leave the Pendant with them.
3
A female teacher was assaulted by three students. A girl whose power is to suck the life out of everyone she touches is so very attached to her that she starts killing them off; she also attacks Shen Wei, who knows why, she may have lost her mind and now thinks that every man that talks to her teacher has bad intentions towards her... but even if she grasps his neck he doesn't die and seems totally uneffected, even take steps towards her, but Zhao and Chu come to stop her and Zhao rushes to embrace his shoulders, worried.. :-) but at the end she also touches the teacher, by mistake, and she instantly ages a lot, but doesn’t die (Shen touches her shoulder, secretly using his power to help her). The next case is about women killed with their face removed.
4
Shen investigates by himself and is caught at the scene of the crime. They interrogate him (first Hong, then Chu and then YunLan) but YunLan quickly decides to let him go and believe him, and Shen starts helping in the investigation. When he gets hurt he heals immediately. Since Zhao is always a bit suspicious, he pricks his finger on purpose, and when Zhao looks worried he looks at him with big wide eyes, as if thinking 'what? you worried about me?'...
The same girl claims again to have escaped an assault but she’s actually the one who wants to take other girls’ faces with the help of someone who wants to make her happy. He took Hong, she frees herself and then they get him. The girl wants to save him and demands his release in exchange for giving them back DaQing. When they injure him she wants revenge but then a boy whose girl was killed runs to her with a bomb and they die together.
Shen Wei keeps restraining his powers because he's afraid that his real identity might be discovered.. Chu is devoted to him and him too wonders why he wants to keep fighting alone..

We see that it was YunLan, a long time ago, to give him his name Shen Wei.

A rich boy first and then his arranged fiancee disappear in the bathtub full of water. The butler knows something but won’t tell. When he meets Shen, he kneels in front of him, recognising him as Cloak.
Shen forbids him to harm Zhao but gives him time to solve his situation. The butler had a son but the family he worked for (that he considered as his benefactor) lied to him: they considered the child a monster because he had the power to control water, and so they abandoned him, all alone, telling the man that the boy went missing. The butler Wu is of course a Dixing too but nobody knew about it.
The child grew up full of pain and anger. He took those two young people but he didn’t kill them, and now the boy’s father sends people to kill him but Wu protects him. The son now wants revenge for his father but Zhao stops him and tells him that the old guy will pay for what he did (oh really? how? it’s so nice how in movies the rich guys can be arrested like everybody else..) and then all the department begs Cloak to help Wu so he does.
The next case involves a young woman disappearing from a locked room.
6
Guo reminds Chu of his lost little brother. Shen Wei asks a flower-girl for help.
The missing WeiWei returns but she’s different, and the team finds out that some time ago the real WeiWei switched places with the ‘other’ in the mirror, and the ‘other’ lived in the real world and fell in love. She wanted her life back, but after Cloak takes the ‘other’ away the fiancee leaves her because even if she’s the real human she’s not the girl he fell in love with.
Zhao wants to find out Shen’s secrets so he puts a hidden camera in his office at school. Going home, Shen meets two robbers and voluntarily gives them money and watch because he doesn’t want to fight them, but is about to when they want to take his precious (for him) necklace...
7
Zhao appears to fight off the robbers, showing off (:p), saving Shen Wei, giving him back the watch (Shen doesn’t ask to get the money back too..) and they go together to Shen’s new apartment, right in front of Zhao’s, so he can treat his injured arm; as soon as he steps in, Zhao says he can go since he lives so near but Shen is like Wait!! and insists on curing his arm (he rubs the medicine in his hands first, I guess to make his hands warmer and more comfortable, but in this way he's actually absorbing more medicine than Zhao, only he doesn't need it so it's not really a good thing...) then Zhao asks him to join his team as a consultant but he refuses, then Zhao is about to leave and he calls him back again... to give him the little bottle, sure - it's such a cute scene, Shen was so full of hidden emotions, it looked like he wanted to keep him there more, I felt as if he really didn't want him to go and then, once alone, he touched his heart... it may have been that he was touching his necklace, thinking of when he met him the first time and what he means to him, but the necklace has always been closer to the neck than to the heart, it seemed to me like he was touching his heart as if saying 'slow down please', as if flooded with emotions that he struggled to handle.. I mean, he's always been a person so important to him, and now he has him so close... a tornado of emotions :-) you know, sometimes I see on the internet that people like to pair actors with the animal they are most like: well, I don't know about YiLong, but Shen Wei, Shen Wei is like a hummingbird to me, no doubt, the more he stands still the more his heart beats faster :-) plus he looks so cute but he's full of abilities :-)
Later the robbers are found dead, and Zhao is rather embarrassed when the team, watching the security cameras, see him with Shen Wei :-p Later Zhao sends Zhu Hong to Shen Wei with a computer so they can video-chat about the case :-) She's already jealous, she can sense what's going on here :-p

It’s another case very similar to the horror stories written by an online author that LinJing admired, so they go find him. He writes his last one where the murderer feels so guilty he scares himself to death with his own reflection, and by doing this the author kills himself because he didn’t know that he had the power to make what he wrote happen.
Zhao goes to Shen Wei to tell him everything about the case... I mean, it's not like there's a real reason, it's just that he wants to... :-)

Guo is officially hired and LinJing gives him a weapon activated by fear, since he’s always afraid of everything :-p Zheng, the floating-girl/ghost, receives a letter that scares her. She’s a nocturn with no memory, and when she remembers her past she faints, and then says that she has to go.
Zhao buys some old books to give to Shen, but it turns out that he himself had sold those books before :p

Shen find Zhao on the street in pain and takes him home in a taxi (because Zhao told him so, he has medicine there) and lets him rest his head on his shoulder (I read on the internet that this scene was improvised... people really like this kind of things I guess, but if it was, then what was the original plan? I mean, we don't just happen to look at them, someone planned a scene in the taxi, with cameras and everything, so if they weren't supposed to do that, what were they supposed to do??), then he cares for him and when he falls asleep he takes off his shoes and covers him with a blanket. He stays the night and Zhao wakes up in a much tidier apartment :-p Shen cleaned his apartment, cooked for him and stayed the night watching over him...
Shen refuses again to join his team, and asks him not to leave the city until his return from a school trip he has to make... I found it weird that Zhao didn't ask him why.

Shen Wei with his hair down is cute :) seems younger and adorable in that scene, when he looks down :-)
Shen is worried about leaving Zhao alone but he has to go to the north-west mountains looking for something, while Zhao goes there to help WangZheng.
Guo bought a porn doll... :-/ but there's Zhu to help Zheng: these, when she takes care of her, are ZhuHong's best moments, really nice :-)
They meet on the road and Zhao insists on making the rest of the way together :-) and later, when LinJing drives, Zhao rests his head on Shen’s shoulder :) because he says he's tired and keeps sneezing... but he didn't before and won't later, only now :-p it seems like a good excuse to me :-p
and then gives him his jacket, and Shen will wear it the whole time :) I just love how Shen looks at him when he puts his jacket on his shoulders :-)

Zhao and Cloak reach Wang who ventured alone in the mountain, and she tells them her story, how she was a princess and she loved a slave; when the slaves rebelled he killed her father and brothers who had killed his family and became the new leader, but still protected her against the others who hated her. They couldn’t accept it and they killed her; he tried to use a Holy Tool to revive her, but it worked in another way, stripping her spirit from her dead body, but he couldn’t see her, and changed, filled with pain and anger and hatred for those who had killed her. Both Zhao and Cloak can understand this, because they both think the most important thing for a man is to keep the loved one safe...
11
Wang’s love Sang is now a spirit like her and will be staying with them as a librarian :-D when they are back they drink a lot to celebrate, but Shen is worried that Zhao is drinking too much so he drinks one for him, and immediately falls on the table :-p (no passion-scene here... not even a word, nothing... sigh ) so Zhao takes him to bed, cares for him, and then Zhao smells monsters blood on his jacket. We see it ever so clearly when he hypnotised snake-girl-Hong back and killed a monster (so blood on his jacket) then he turned into Cloak and went to help Zhao, who now understands that he is Cloak, that that’s his secret. When Shen wakes up in the morning Zhao has left already leaving him a note (with a smiling/blinking smiley-face :-D ) and when he smells the jacket too he starts worrying that his real identity might have been discovered.
Zhao thinks back of all the things regarding Shen (he fell from the roof, was scratched, attacked by the girl, the teacher revived after he touched her, and of course Shen’s words and Cloak’s are very similar :p ). DaQing tells him that maybe Cloak stays among humans to be close to the person he loves... 情 人， I checked :-)
12
Soundwaves made three people kill themselves. The rich man mistreated his little stepdaughter beating her up everyday, and now that her only friend T had been fired he couldn’t protect her anymore. The girl is so sad when Cloak takes him away that Zhao makes DaQing turn into a cat to comfort her ... but the guy lied to protect her. She’s the one with powers, and now she takes control of DaQing to get both tools.
Zhao tries to get Shen Wei to tell him the truth, and is rather upset when Shen doesn’t tell him and keeps his ‘normal person’ cover. Zhao faints after touching the second Tool and doesn’t see him protecting him against T. When LinJing needs a human volunteer for an experiment Shen does it, and Zhao watches him very closely :-p Shen wants to tell him everything but is afraid he’d be putting him in danger so he doesn’t. When Cloak appears to take T away, he doesn’t speak to Zhao..
13
Zhao is sure now that Shen is Cloak and is angry/disappointed, because had he shared information some things could have been avoided, when there was an attack at the wedding (of the two that had been kidnapped by the young man of the lake) the father of the bride died - and when cornered (by Zhao saying ‘I thought we were friends’) Shen says that he didn’t want to put him in danger by telling him the truth, that he wrongly thought he could handle everything himself, but then his ‘enemy’ comes and takes control of Zhao and threatens to kill him, and then takes him away. Shen, now Cloak, tries to pursue but can’t, and spits blood, now Shen again...
Jiu uses Zhao to enter their department, orders him to shoot Hong and then Shen when he comes, but of course Zhao was pretending all along (so now he’s absolutely sure about him :p)
They save the girl from Jiu and the Tools too, of course.
( I love it when Shen goes “ I...” followed by an embarrassed pause while he either tries to find some lie or tries to find a way to say what’s difficult for him to say... he looks so emotional, like I can feel the battle of emotions inside him...
14
Zhao faints after touching the second tool, and when he wakes up with all the team around, Shen is Cloak again, not wanting all the others to know, and takes the girl away.
Cloak then let the girl go with the guy she thinks of as her older brother to look after her. Zhao sees them around and tells Shen when they talk at home. Shen tells him that they have ‘always’ been friends but doesn’t explain it to him. Zhao makes Shen promise to join their group. A journalist is determined to spy on them, being really annoying.
Guo keeps training with Chu. Now it turns out his important uncle had no idea Guo was working with them, and is now worried it might be too dangerous for him, but Guo doesn’t want to leave.
Zhao learns that his father has been promoted, he didn’t know about it.
(EDIT-just rewatched this ep, and I'd like to point out that Zhao rides a Ducati :-D )

From this episode Zhao has a different hairstyle.
The journalist hacks into the camera spying in Shen’s office (did Zhao forget about it?) and shows it to Zhao, saying either he reveals it himself or he’ll do it in three days. When Zhao tells Shen about it, he feels guilty about the hidden camera but Shen apologises to him instead for exposing himself, being so ignorant on technology as he is (and Zhao feels bad about it because once again Shen blames everything on himself carrying all the weight). LinJing is a better hacker and deletes his computer. Zhao and Shen show up at his house and explain to him how he did not help the public discover truths, he actually misjudged more than one situation causing harm to innocents. He’s skilled though and Zhao offers him to work with them.
Zhao asks Shen what is his ability since Dixing should only have one but he seems able to do a lot of different things, and he says that it’s to learn, so he can learn every ability he sees and use it himself, but he is also limited for some reason I didn’t understand so he can’t show his full power.
Zhao asks him to repay him for solving the situation so smoothly... by cleaning his house :-p Shen seemed worried, what was he thinking about? :lol:
Shen is upset because despite all his warnings Zhao keeps touching the Tools hoping their powers might help him. Then they go out to eat together :-)
Hong has always been jealous of Shen, and now she cries getting drunk :-/
The Regent comes visiting; when Shen arrives, he’s about to bow or something but Zhao stops him
:-p He begs forgiveness for not informing Cloak first, and he came to say that the Dijun Book that lists all residents of Dixing has gone missing.
It’s really lovely to see him turning from Shen to Cloak (without the cloak) to Shen again :lol:
Cloak and regent must find it back, and Zhao go to Dixing with them. A commissioner is coming to exhamine the department while he’s away, and it’s his father.
16
Zhao senior is quite annoyed that Zhao is not there, and says that a leader should never leave like that, and sure enough a new case arrives so he takes temporary leadership of the group.
He gives them all tasks that seem useless, while Zhao sort of puts himself into danger :p but he meets again butler Wu who is now working for Cloak and he saves him, and tells him not to trust the regent.
Sang notices that Zhao sr used his left hand before and his right hand later. Zhao sr says Zhao should no longer be the leader. They all oppose the idea, and this loyalty seems to please him. He says he won’t worry about him now, and when he encourages Guo to go on, his eyes are strange, not human.
17
Zhao is in trouble but Cloak looks for him (getting rather upset when a man claims to have killed him) and saves him. Jiu sends a man to destroy their building, but they fight him and then Zhao sr shoots him, like he shot his wife by mistake many years before. We see that he was always obsessed with his work, even causing the death of his own wife in front of his son.
18
Looking into an underground fight club where many young men have already disappeared, Chu fights too to lure out the Dixing, called Fire, fighting there. A guy asks Chu to revenge the death of his brother, because he thinks that Fire betrayed him and caused him to kill himself. Actually, Fire had find out that the stronger boys were sold to Jiu who killed them to take away their vital energy or something, so he put something in the water to make them look weaker, to save them, so they were never targeted because not enough fit and strong. Since he saved lives, Shen lets him go.
When Zhao and Shen alone were fighting against Fire, it was the worst piece of fighting I've ever seen, it looked so fake; but then, it was fun later when they were sort of bickering, like 'you can't go if not necessary' - 'then if necessary I can go' - ' I said you can't go, you can't go' and stuff like that :-p but of course Zhao will go, when could Shen ever stop him? :-p

19
While Chu and Guo are taking the three boys away, Jiu attacks them and reveals that he killed the little brother, he had changed his mind about killing himself. Fire come back and together with Chu they are winning, but Jiu has a bomb to knock them down.
Despite Shen’s multiple warnings, Zhao wants to do something and touches the Tools. He faints and has a premonition of Chu, Guo and Fire’s death. Shen was really upset this time, because Zhao got hurt...
Soon after, Jiu sends them a ransom demand, the Tools in exchange for their lives. They think of some plan, and Shen has a role, and requests Hong to go with him. She tells him clearly that she likes Zhao, that she doesn’t understand why he keeps pretending to know nothing about it when it’s so obvious everybody knows how she feels (well, I see only one reason to pretend he doesn’t know, sorry girl...). Shen tells her that maybe in three years she won't feel anything anymore... I mean, really? Come on, I know he doesn't want her to be in love with Zhao, or anyone else for that matter, but what kind of nonsense is this ? And from his, of all people....

Guo acts rather bravely in his insistence in wanting to cure Fire, then Jiu offers Chu to join him against humans and against Cloak, as if he would ever do that. Jiu leaves them to freeze to death, in a lab where the temperature will decrease to the absolute zero ( -275°C ... ).
Shen wants to convince the snake-tribe to help them. Hong is there to help convince her uncle, and also the flower-girl-in-blue (I know that actress, but I can’t place her, it’s driving me crazy; she probably had a different look when I saw her, but I’m sure I know her... I can't remember, maybe I'm confusing her with someone else?.. ).
There is a festival in town, and they set up a meeting with Jiu for the ‘exchange’. The poor guys are freezing to death, and Fire’s fire can’t help. Guo thanks Chu for being his ‘brother’ and falls asleep, so Chu gives him his coat and scarf and tries to warm him... so touching :’( but also a bit sad that there was nobody caring about Fire...
When they meet Jiu, they have Jing and the reporter hack into the city lights and switch them all off, not a light in the whole city, so Jiu can’t use his power, but Shen can, and they trap him and ‘arrest’ him.
20
Of course they are in time to save them :-)
We see that Zhao sr is at moments like ‘possessed’ by someone with strange eyes.
Shen tells Zhao that Hong likes him, but of course he knows and pretends not to because he doesn’t love her, no surprise there... the two of them have to go to dinner with the minister, leaving Guo with Jiu :-/ I mean, really?? Guo even freed him from the special handcuffs, falling for the old ‘need to go to the bathroom’ trick. Zhao has a premonition and comes back, on foot... so he calls to put the Hallows (the Tools, the magical things, whatever) away. Jiu runs away; he has little power now, but he has one last card to play: he transfers his life energy to his boss, and disappears. The boss spirit sets free and asks to meet Zhao: he’s Ye Zun, Zhao uses the Pendant (now so big..) against his power. Shen was going to meet the minister, but senses something and comes to the rescue, without even turning into cloak. Ye Zun goes away and when Zhao comes to he immediately calls Shen’s name, saying he was sure he’d come, but things go down again when they realise that he can’t see...
21
Li Jing finds a girl he likes. Zhao is told by his father to stay away from Shen (yeah right); Shen is very worried about him, can’t concentrate in class and is angry when Zhao almost gets run over by a car, and then takes him to the big Yashou tribe market hoping to find a cure for his eyes but once there Shen has to stop the crow-woman who had attacked Hong, and angry as he is already he was about to kill her when Zhao’s voice stops him; he feels very emotional (for him) when Zhao calls him Xiao Wei and he stops fighting, and Zhao talks to the crow and the snakes and sort of makes temporary peace, while Shen keeps staring at him... doing and saying nothing, he can only stare at him...
Sang prepares a candle-light dinner for Zheng and they dance :-)
Everyone now knows about Shen being Cloak.
22
A mysterious doctor uses dark energy to treat his patients, but gets angry when Cat peaks inside to see what he’s doing and throws them out. Shen cares very much about Zhao, though, and kneels outside the doctor’s door, as the doctor asked after he said he’d do anything... he stays there, doesn’t move even when it rains, and the doctor finally agrees to help, and indeed cures Zhao’s eyes :-)
The new case: some people are ageing in a strange, very quick way: one man even ages before Chu and Guo’s eyes. The doctor’s ability started after he was given some power by the special brush, a Tool, so basically he gave energy to a patient without knowing that he was taking away someone else’s life energy, included when he helped Zhao, so now Zhao wants to give it back. The doctor takes away Zhao’s sight and his own life energy to give it back, so Zhao is blind again. Shen was very upset about it, but then he is able to cure him using the Pendant. Zhao doesn’t realise that the Pendant is doing something to Shen because Shen always smiles when looking at him..
Cat wants to recover his lost memory, so he tries hypnotism, and he remembers looking for Kun Lun when a ‘bad Shen’ arrived to attack him (actually Ye Zun). Zhao and Shen go back to Dixing to find information on the Brush, and Cat goes with them.
23
Cat tells Zhao what he remembered, but Zhao still believes in Shen. He knows that Shen is keeping something from him, that Shen doesn’t want Zhao to learn about Kun Lun, but Zhao trusts him to tell him everything when he’ll be ready, when keeping secrets will become too heavy for him. Shen goes to talk to Ye Zun’s prison and says he’ll be ok with sacrificing himself in order to stop him.
The old king is killed by the deacon, the regent’s right-hand, as ordered by Ye Zun to hide the information on the Brush. After the deacon’s death, now a young man is forced to become king, which means he’ll keep working consuming his energy and sacrificing his life until his death.
At home, Shen cares after Zhao again, preparing food and making him rest, but Zhao sees that he hurt himself, I’m not sure why but it is apparently something he has to do after he used the Pendant to cure him, sharing his life energy with him, consuming or damaging his own. Shen didn’t want to be seen, I think Zhao woke up during the night. Zhao tells him that he was not worth this sacrifice, all that he is doing for him, but Shen simply says that he is worth it... and that this life of his, he is returning it to him... that was a great scene, so intense! Really great scene and performances, plus I say, here there’s the most heartbreaking line describing the Shen-character: 我 伤 惯 he smiles at him and says that luckily he got used at being injured... is there anyone in the world who wouldn’t want to hug him or hold his hand tight after that? heartbreaking.
24
Zhao is still upset that Shen keeps things from him.
At the hospital, people suddenly attempt suicide without really wanting to. A child-looking young man addicted to video games is manipulating people to punish them for the death of his friend who died. Crow is manipulating him. He starts a real life-and-death game involving Zhao and bombs, but he didn’t want to really hurt anybody, and when Shen destroys the mobile game that was the source of his power he then dies. Zhao wouldn’t leave Shen and together they disarm a bomb and move to the next case. A taxi driver at night meets a stranger, and later he suddenly attacks people and appears to have a completely different, aggressive personality.
25
After touching him, Guo also shows a different, more aggressive personality :-p Hong becomes super shy, and Chu becomes a cry-baby :-p Shen says that to have him act like that is worse than killing him :-p I can imagine, he cries all the time :-p
A guy with multiple personalities (really too many) suddenly gained the power to change other people’s personality, and when he dies they all turn back to normal.
26
A cat-girl attacks Daqing because he doesn’t remember her, and then Zhao when he tries to help him, so Shen hits her with his power and she dies. He didn’t want to kill her and feels very bad about it. Later on, she wakes up and when they meet again he finally remembers her. She once saved him from a car, and he thought she died, but she woke up and hating loneliness she started looking for true love. Once she found it, but in an accident he died and she woke up; another time, she was the one who had an accident and died in front of him, so when she woke up he wouldn’t accept ‘a monster’. The last one is the husband that killed her with poison, and when she woke up he suffocated her... now that she’s met him again, she won’t leave Daqing anymore :p but when she sees old Li she takes him away, saying that being with them is dangerous. He remembers that he lost his memories when Li found him.. apparently he somehow made him lost his memories, and now he apologises. When cat-girl Daji tries to hit Li she hit DaQing instead, and he remembers everything.
27
Li thought he was a monster when he transformed into human form and hit him, but then he regretted it and joined the department to be near him :-)
LinJing is more and more taken by his ShaYa not knowing she’s a crow-girl working with the enemy.
Zhao, Cat and Shen investigate yet another accident at the research lab, and they sneak in there and Shen realises that they are working on a way to turn humans into mutants.
Everyone learns that ShaYa attacked Guo’s uncle and they want to stop her, but she stops only after hurting LinJing with her electricity, and talks to them.
28
ShaYa thinks that Zhao sr killed the guy she loved and she seeks revenge. When the minister and Zhao sr are abducted, they have 24 hours to crack a code, but they only manage that because Sha Ya sends LinJing a text helping him. Zhao touches the Pendant again and faints once again...
29
I know he’s causing a lot of trouble, but this WangXiangYang story is heartbreaking: people raided his shop and broke his phone so he didn’t hear when his wife called. She needed to go to a hospital, she called a taxi but a bastard and his lover took it from her. Another one didn’t stop and another one almost ran her over (well, this last one was hurrying to his sick mother), and at the hospital they didn’t have her type of rare blood. He thought that they chose to save Zhao sr’s life but he had a common type. When he learns this he doesn’t kill Zhao sr and understands that he’s been tricked by YeZun. He gives Zhao the brush but it’s too late, their plan has succeeded already, the pillar has been broken, and YeZun breaks free (more or less, he looks like a black shape now). Of course they show us that Zhao sr did not kill ShaYa’s good friend, he was chasing the real murderer, a Dixing, and of course the boy was in love with her.
30
LiJing was providing information to the scientist at the research lab, and Zhao now overhears them talking. They have a talk and then Zhao sends him away, back to where he came from. Everyone’s against it at the department, but nothing they can do. LinJing goes to work for his old teacher at the research lab (so now he has access to secret documents... yeahyeah)
Shen went to Dixing with ShaYa, only to find that the Palace is now under YeZun’s control. He fights a bit but is not his once powerful self since he shared his life force with Zhao. He escapes from the Palace and goes to talk to YeZun at the pillars, but he is taken prisoner.
Zhao sr comes to take Zhao away and talk to him, and takes him to Zhao’s home. He says he only wants to talk before sending him back to work, but once alone Zhao pulls out his gun (that can only hurt Dixings) saying that he is not his father...
31
It turns out that a Dixing that needs a host to survive has been living peacefully in his body for twenty years at least, since before he started the special department. Actually, the Dixing is the nicer one ..
Hong is so stubborn, fixated on Zhao that she insists on asking him for an answer, wanting him to ask her to stay, she presses him when it’s clear that he doesn’t love her that way, anyone would understand it, she’s clearly looking for pain and putting him in a difficult position.. until the crow-lady-boss comes and hurt her shoulder.
Zhao keeps thinking about Shen, worrying about him because nobody has heard from him. When Hong doesn’t wake up, he sits by her because she got hold of his hand and wouldn’t let go. He falls asleep too and inside her dream, where she does not want to wake up. She’s like a child, insisting she doesn’t want to wake up. Shen is still imprisoned, but can feel that Zhao is getting weaker and is worried for him...
In the dream Hong tells him how she learned to walk on heels and tried to be a lady instead of a snake, how she changed herself hoping he would like her :-/ he tells her that she is important like everyone in the department, that he needs them all, and luckily she stops crying. Still making it difficult for him but finally she agrees to wake up with him. The SID is about to be shut down but Zhao sends them away for now. He is also angry at Chu who sent Guo inside the dream with one of his puppets somehow, to help, and it did help actually, sort of bringing her back to her senses.
32
Things keep appearing online setting the public against the SID, even revealing Chu as a killer. Chu wants to go to Dixing looking for Shen, and when Zhao says no, he goes anyway taking Guo with him. YeZun took away Chu’s only memory of his dead twin brother, and now attacks Guo in front of him. Is Guo dead? :-(
33
Half of the episode is about Chu lost in a dream without knowing it, then he wakes up feeling desperate (so he caused a fight and got arrested but his twin brother was mistaken for him and beaten to death. He took revenge and was sentenced to 100 years because of that; now, to retrieve his brother’s remains, he thinks he caused Guo’s death).
Zhao goes to Dixing and with the help of the Shadow-man of the first episode he frees Shen and takes him home. Chu uses the Pendant to save Guo...
34
Chu tells his story: his brother was actually set on fire by the one who mistook him for his brother, and so he put himself in the little puppet Chu had given him.
Guo wakes up; the department is shut down; the scientist teacher tries the serum on himself; Zhao and Shen are wanted as criminals; YeZun comes to take the Hallows/Tools as ShenWei (asking Zheng about him saying “my little YunLan” :p apparently he has a precise idea of Shen/YunLan ‘s stage of relationship :-p I liked these scenes a lot, you know, an actor pretending to be someone who is pretending to be someone else :p ); Zhao knows it of course although it takes him too long, it was clear right away when he was so calm after seeing him handling the Pendant, the real Shen would have been worried or angry or both. I must say I was rather annoyed that he didn't notice sooner; the different style of clothes: could still be Shen Wei... that 'I own the world' attitude, maybe he didn't notice; but, he entered calling him Yunlan and Shen Wei never does that, plus in such a soft voice, and most importantly he was not upset at all that he was clearly using the Hallows and in pain because of it, Shen would react to that... and still he had no suspicions? Anyway, they fight, Zheng and Sang are ‘killed’? to protect him and Zhao disappears into a wormhole activated by all the tools, so when Shen comes he follows him into that kind of wormhole. Zhao comes out during the war of 10.000 years ago; he meets ancient Cloak and ancient DaQing who don’t know him, and also a couple of leaders who know he’s from the future... they say the real Kun Lun was killed. As soon as he recognised Shen Wei, he helped him shooting a couple of his enemies who then retreated, allowing him to flee with the remaining men alive. He had been cornered, and Zhao saved his life.
Cloak and Kun Lun start talking, and Cloak appears to be such a lonely, innocent young man who has no real interaction with anybody other than when he fights; he explains that he wears that black mask because that way his enemies can’t see when he gets scared..
35
Cloak and Kun Lun talk a lot: KL gives him his modern day Shen Wei, and asks him about his past, his life, and Shen thanks him for it, because no one has ever talked with him like that, shared thoughts with him like that; we see ancient Ye Zun working for the enemy, but he is a small pawn with a hatred for his brother who he thinks abandoned him. He finds out now that his power is to absorb other people and their power, and he becomes their new boss (okay but honestly, what kind of power is that? could any decent person use it? is it a curse or was he fated to be evil before he was born? :/ no wonder he grew up evil :-/ after all, a good decent person wouldn't react like that, if some stranger told you that someone you love simply abandoned you and you never see them again, would you believe the stranger, never look into what happened, and turn love into hate, just like that?).
KL tells him that he is not fighting alone, that he has him, and then they retrieve the four Hallows from YeZun and Zhao thinks he’s accomplished his mission and can now go back, wondering why he’s still there, and Cloak appears very sad to learn that he has to go (and he’ll be alone again, such a heartbreaking look on his face) but YeZun attacks. Finally face to face, masks off, Cloak finds out that the boss is his little brother YeZun, he thought he had died long ago. DaQing ‘loses’ the Hallows, meaning he drops the box and they scatter around, flying away. KL is taken back into the ‘wormhole’ where he meets ‘our’ Shen who looks at him with such eyes... and says that after 10.000 years he found him again... aww - but then we see that he fell into the earth and was sort of ‘found’ after 10.000 years, he didn’t really “wait” it... and he started working as Cloak, and assumed the identity of Shen Wei on the surface.
They come back to our time (and who knows why Zhao wears his old clothes again) to learn that Dixing declared war, and that ‘Cloak’ did it.
36
YeZun tells minister Gao he may stop the war if they give him Zhao and Shen (and that close shot on YeZun lips when he says they don’t have to worry because he’s just an image and can’t hurt them is ... quite something). Zhao speaks in a live broadcast to everyone saying that humans and Dixing are all people and they should not hate/be afraid of each other, while secretly sending a message to LinJing to steal the serum, which is why he went to work there. He tries to steal the serum, but the crazy scientist uses it on Guo and keeps him prisoner, but then LiQian frees him and gives him the three Hallows back. YeZun absorbs LinJing :-/
37
Old Li has been killed by the crows. When touching someone dying, Guo can see their life and their last wills. The SID finds the fourth Hallow, the Lantern, inside the department.
Shen goes to Dixing trying to find a way to repair the Lantern; Zhao, DaQing and Hong go to Yashou tribe; Guo and Chu go around, so he can find dying people and at least see/hear their last will.
Shen manages to open a passage, but it costs him already to spit blood.
Hong passes the test hand out for generations and becomes the new Yashou tribe leader.
LinJing wakes up in YeZun’s body, not yet digested, and finds ShaYa’s things :(
38
Guo goes live to tells everyone the messages he received. Zhao can kill the crazy scientist with Lao Zhao’s help. The Dixing in him tells him he knows the secret to relight the Lantern.
Shen is held prisoner and tortured by YeZun :’( Zhao goes to Dixing with Guo.
When alone, the Regent finally frees Shen, so he can help Zhao. Shen is badly injured though, so Zhao tries to lure the soldiers away from him but others find him and Shen fights :(
Now Zhao is YeZun’s prisoner as well :( YeZun tells Shen he is so weak because he shared his life force with Zhao. Guo is being controlled by him. YeZun wants to absorb the power of the four Hallows, but he doesn’t have the Lantern. YeZun is so angry he repeatedly hurts Zhao, but at the last blow of power, Shen puts himself before Zhao to save him...
39
YeZun then kills him with a stab to the heart in front of Zhao’s eyes :( and then absorbs him, so he joins LinJing.
YeZun magically broadcasts live to show the world that he is winning. DaJi dies for good and DaQing cries for her.
Zhao escapes. DaQing, Hong and Chu go to Dixing. YeZun retrieves the lantern disguised in a black cloak, and Zhao secretly broadcasts his words to the whole of Dixing who now know that he lied and cares about nobody. Now the Dixing want to rebel against him. YeZun absorbs the regent and the king as well, then uses Guo to light the Lantern, but Guo fights his control so he can’t light it.
Chu, Hong and DaQing come to fight YeZun and Zhao injects himself with the purified serum that his father gave DaQing.
40
The fight goes on, YeZun says he wants to reshape the world because this one is full of betrayal and abandon and hatred ( ... yes, can’t he see the fault in his reasoning?? like the detail that he’s the one hating and betraying?... okay that someone else did the abandoning, but still, 2 out of 3... ); Guo takes one of the Tools and gives it to DaQing that gives it to Zhao that with the new serum-power can attack YeZun and make him weak enough for Shen to move on with his plan. He has LinJing push the spear fully in his chest then he throws out of the body Lin, king and regent. Immediately Zhao asks about him, but he hasn’t come out of course.
I think that Shen makes his body explode like the bomb so he kills YeZun from the inside, or something like that.
Shen now learns why YeZun hates him so much, he grew up believing that he had been abandoned but of course Shen didn’t leave him, he lost him. Shen and YeZun die together; the world is now breaking apart, so Zhao uses his own life, burning his soul to light the lantern. They bring his body back and the passage close definitely, separating Dixing and humans.
A year goes by.
LiQian is the new director of the research lab, Guo’s uncle is the new minister, Hong brings peace to the Yashou tribes, Guo and Chu are always together, and... Zhao is chief of SID and a hero, only he’s not the real Zhao but some kind of replacement, don’t know how; the department has many more people now, DaQing and LinJing are still friends, and generally life goes on.
In that strange environment that looks like the inside of the wormhole Zhao and Shen meet and Shen says that no matter where they go, they will meet again one day, and they look at each other with tears in their eyes... I guess this means that they’ll reincarnate somewhere and someday they will find each other again... it’s a nice thought...
