The Guardian Lantern arc! Featuring Ye Zun being extra (again), a SID reunion, and a team huddle.
We open with Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan & Cong Bo spying on the Haixing Supervisory Department just in time to see Ye Zun make his dramatic entrance.
For some mysterious reason, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan aren't impressed with Ye Zun's theatrics. (But that's okay because Ye Zun is very pleased with himself.)
Zhao Yunlan: If I can't communicate with the Haixing Supervisory Department, I'll communicate with the entire planet.
Also Zhao Yunlan: Go big or go home.
Zhao Yunlan: Okay, you can stop staring. Even if you have 10,000 years, you won't be able to understand this.
Just because it's the end of the world doesn't mean that you can't take some time to mock your technologically impaired boyfriend.
Zhao Yunlan gives a very nice speech to the world about how Dixingren are people just like Haixingren. But the only thing I can focus on is how he used 失身 (losing one's virginity) as an example of things that Dixingren experience. Right in front of Shen Wei.
After the live broadcast, Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan make a bad-ass entrance to take down the nightmare master and reunite with the rest of the SID after everyone's had their own adventures.
Zhao Yunlan tempts Zhu Hong away from her dream using himself. Shen Wei, I see you smiling, but don't act like this exact same method wouldn't work on you.
Zhao Yunlan tempts Da Qing out of his dream using dried fish snacks, then he welcomes everyone back. Shen Wei looks like he can barely hold back the warm fuzzies and the smiles.
As they're about to head back to SID headquarters, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei figure out that the Guardian lantern must be somewhere in the building, or he wouldn't have been able to time travel successfully. They play off each other's thoughts & analysis so well!
Back at the SID, they run into a fight where several Dixingren have attacked the people standing on guard at the entrance. Zhao Yunlan pulls an incredibly cool move with his gun.
Zhao Yunlan knows he just did something awesome.
Shen Wei's arrival takes the last fight out of the Dixingren.
Never over the noticeable height difference when Shen Wei is in his Black-Cloaked Envoy ensemble. (We were robbed of Zhao Yunlan kissing Shen Wei on the top of his hood!)
The search for the Guardian Lantern begins with synchronized walking.
And the most anticlimactic Hallows discovery award goes to...
Unfortunately, the Guardian Lantern is missing its wick, and Shen Wei is convinced that he has to go to Dixing to find it.
Zhao Yunlan wants to join Shen Wei in Dixing, but Shen Wei turns him down. Then, in defiance of the #1 rule in DnD, they decide to split the group and take on independent tasks.
The final group huddle between the members of the SID. And of course there's an extra look exchanged between Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan.
The episode ends with Shen Wei going off on his own in Dixing. Meanwhile, Guo Changcheng and Chu Shuzhi helping out on Haixing with Guo Changcheng's new abilities, and Zhao Yunlan and Zhu Hong head to the Yashou Tribe to win the seat of the High Chief and gain access to the Forbidden Area.
