Mobius Episode 11 Recap
> Mobius Recap
In 2008, a fierce street brawl erupted where Feng Qiming, then known as Ye Kun, accidentally caused a death and was subsequently sentenced to 15 years in prison in Mabu. Before being incarcerated, his brother assured him that he would take care of their mother. Years prior, Mo Yuanzhi and Feng Wanqing had grown close, with Wanqing playing music for Mo Yuanzhi to soothe his troubled mind. Their romance blossomed, but Wanqing's health soon began to deteriorate.
On the fourth loop day, Fang Lu, under Ding Qi's orders, was secretly tracking An Lan as she headed toward Mourn Vale. Ding Qi was surprised by An Lan's destination, unaware she was investigating where Wanqing had received treatment. Meanwhile, Feng Qiming also arrived at Mourn Vale and accidentally knocked Fang Lu unconscious. An Lan explored a dilapidated hospital room, seeking answers about Wanqing's past treatment.
To her shock, Feng Qiming had locked the door and silently approached her from behind. Ding Qi, upon arriving and discovering the unconscious Fang Lu, frantically rushed into the medical center through a back window. An Lan, not recognizing Feng Qiming, desperately pleaded for her release, explaining she was searching for her best friend, who had gone missing eight years ago after falling severely ill.
She had only just found this hospice and had been looking for her since returning home. Noticing Feng Qiming's resemblance to Wanqing, An Lan tentatively asked if he was Wanqing's brother. It was then that Feng Qiming realized his sister had been treated there. When Ding Qi inadvertently made a noise, Feng Qiming went to investigate, allowing An Lan to break free.
She discovered a test tube with a drug code on the floor and a hidden room behind a wardrobe. Ding Qi then knocked Feng Qiming unconscious and found a shaken An Lan, who informed him that the man was Feng Wanqing's brother, Feng Qiming. After regaining consciousness, Feng Qiming engaged in a fierce struggle with Ding Qi.
Ding Qi tried to explain he wasn't there to arrest him and simply wanted to talk, but Feng Qiming, distrustful, threatened to blow him up before drawing a dagger and lunging. During their fight, just as Ding Qi uttered Feng Wanqing's name, Fang Lu, who had revived, intervened and shot Feng Qiming, killing him. Fang Lu vaguely recalled having fired a gun before. Soon after, an explosion ripped through Mourn Vale Medical Center.
News reports confirmed three fatalities, with the cause under investigation. Ding Qi remarked that making someone "lower their guard" sometimes required "death." He later called his "Boss," Yu Peishan, confirmed that he and An Lan were safe, and decided to regroup. Earlier, An Lan had found Feng Wanqing's personal notebook hidden under a bed in her old hospital room.
She read entries detailing Wanqing's fear of losing the ability to paint and write as her hands weakened, and a poignant line: "The world keeps repeating, and the pain keeps multiplying. I'm in so much pain, so much so that I can't breathe. . . it's all happening again."
An Lan recounted that eight years ago, Feng Wanqing and other terminal patients at Mourn Vale Medical Center had illegally received early experimental RAN treatment, a drug still in the animal testing phase. This RAN technology had achieved a significant breakthrough with Wanqing, who was declared cured for a brief seven days, a "medical miracle" that Mo Yuanzhi had celebrated as a second chance for them to be together.
However, Wanqing's condition rapidly deteriorated after those seven days, leading to immense suffering and a desire to escape the world, though she couldn't bear to leave someone behind. An Lan deduced that only Mo Yuanzhi and Jiang Yuwen had access to RAN technology and experimental drugs then, and it must have been Mo Yuanzhi who refused to let Wanqing die.
Ding Qi observed that the actual notebook didn't contain all the details An Lan was recounting, and An Lan subsequently lost consciousness. Meanwhile, police found a tracker installed on An Lan's car. Yu Peishan's investigation revealed that Feng Qiming, initially known as Ye Kun, had served 15 years in a Mabu prison for accidentally causing a death during a brawl and used "Ye Kun" as an alias after returning home.
She also discovered a missed call on Ye Kun's new phone from someone located inside the Moma building. Fearing An Lan was being monitored, Ding Qi used a signal jammer before confiding in her. He explained that Feng Wanqing's "world repeating" was a reference to "loop days," revealing he himself was a loop participant who retained memories while others forgot. This ability allowed him to anticipate events, though people often mistakenly called it "foreknowledge."
An Lan, convinced, led Ding Qi to a secret room. She revealed that for the past two years, during her RAN experiments, two inexplicable phenomena occurred that she kept secret, knowing no one would believe her. After exploring numerous scientific theories, she hypothesized "foreknowledge" as the only explanation for the behavior of RN356, a lab mouse with abnormal behavior that she had brought home for constant observation.
A year prior, in a complex maze designed to test memory and learning, RN356, a healthy mouse, exhibited a unique ability to consistently avoid dangers and find rewards, regardless of maze changes, indicating "inexplicable foreknowledge." When she reported this to Chief Scientist Tang Shaorong, the ability vanished during the demonstration, and he dismissed it as a coincidence. Undeterred, An Lan continued her experiments at home, meticulously recording the specific, seemingly random dates when RN356's predictive ability reappeared.
Ding Qi then recited a list of these exact dates from 2023: January 1, February 25, March 3, March 29, April 16, and May 19, confirming they were all "loop days," matching An Lan's records precisely.
