I meant to say earlier, really great post! \o/!!

Some more notes.
  • Da Qing is so uncomfortable with Lao Li kneeling. And uncomfortable with real talk and emotions, too -- I think that's why the ZYL-esque fake-out. *noogies him*
  • I love how Shen Wei says to Da Qing, "Let's go and catch up with the main force." It sounds military, like a call-back to the war.
  • In the alley confrontation with Wang Xiangyang, Zhao Yunlan's lines sound like a poem:

    Hands without blood, hiding in the dark,
    egged others to seek revenge for you,
    and even led us by the nose.
    (Right?) The Master of the Merit Brush.

    To my ignorant ear, it even sounds like it rhymes. *hearts*
  • SW & ZYL'S EXCHANGES OF GLANCES!!!!!
  • Does WXY write real characters with the Brush? Does anyone know what they are?
  • The Dixing palace has an assassin infestation, and the guards are on extermination duty. It's a shame they can't deprogramme them instead. And the Regent knows Ye Zun is behind it. I wonder how peaceful Dixing was before Ye Zun reawoke.
  • I like how unhappy Lin Jing is about destroying evidence, but I wish he'd worn some protective gear. That is presumably extremely strong acid!!
  • I love how brave Li Qian is during Sha Ya's break-in, after everything she's been through! ♥!!
  • When Da Qing overhears Vice Min Guo whispering to Min Gao, I think Shen Wei's super hearing should pick it up, too. But he probably doesn't want to highlight his own powers... And then the bureaucrats depart, foolishly leaving the SID people wandering free in the building. How did Minister Gao think that was going to go? ;-p
  • Prof Ouyang at the hospital sounds surprisingly controlled and reasonable, even if he is making a mad-scientist plan.
  • To access the lab, ZYL uses a confiscated device that Lin Jing "used to degauss the attendance machine." Presumably LJ was trying to cheat re clocking in? LOL.
  • I love that they use Da Qing's cat senses for forensic analysis! <3 <3 <3
  • Lin Jing and Sha Ya date: Sha Ya actually discloses personal information! And aww, Lin Jing buys her stinky tofu.
  • Lab: Shen Wei explains the research to Zhao Yunlan: "They want to turn normal people into mutants." I'm like, what if some of the normal people want to be mutants? Would that be wrong?
  • Sha Ya overreacts to Lin Jing touching her earring, and she knocks the stinky tofu to the ground. Lin Jing is very nice about it, despite having queued for aaages.
  • Team Merit Brush: does Ya Qing have a grudge against Zhao Xinci, too, or is she just going along with this for the greater good?
  • Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng talking revenge philosophy, awww! *smishes them so much* And Changcheng says, "Chu-ge, do you want to visit my home? My uncle and aunt always mention you." Awwww, he's part of the family! :D :D :D
  • I really don't like Shen Wei's suit during the meeting with Zhao Xinci and fight with ZYL. It fits him so badly. (Why? Is it making a point?)
  • At the SID, ZYL is sprawled longways on the couch, and Shen Wei is in a chair, effectively behind him, but still close. <3 (I hope somewhere someone is fussing over Changcheng's uncle and aunt and making them tea.)
  • When Sha Ya lets herself be caught, Ya Qing and Wang Xiangyang are watching.
    YQ: Till now, all things are still under control.
    WXY: I just hope she can delay it for a while more.

    So I think she's deliberately being taken in to distract the SID and stall for time.
  • Interview room: "Ya Qing said they were conducting serum experiments or something, which is helpful for Ye Zun's grand plan." Is that true? How would the serum help Ye Zun's plan (other than the revenge on Kong Jing, but Sha Ya broke in again after that)? Also, Zhao Yunlan is practically sitting in Shen Wei's lap. <3 <3 <3
