When Zhao Yunlan notices Shen Wei isn't healing. The uneasy foreboding in such a small detail!

Ooh, yesss -- and how long it takes Zhao Yunlan to look away despite the enemy combatants being right there. :D

I think that was at least sort of the intended reading. That the two scenes don't actually match can be chalked up to Zhao Yunlan's vision being a dreamlike impression rather than literal: If he only got a feeling about Zhao Xinci meeting misfortune in a car, he might have assumed/supplemented the rest.

Ah, that makes sense! Like Chu Shuzhi and co being laid out as if they were in a morgue in Zhao Yunlan's vision of the zero-degree lab, but when Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei arrive, the others are just sitting around. Zhao Yunlan's vision brain was supplying "what death looks like." Cool!

Is fair competition what they call it these days? XD

Hee! <3

Love how it's immediately obvious Zhao Xinci has been replaced by an impostor because he is being peaceful and reasonable.

Haha, right? (And yay, thanks for the idiom link!)

Open your mouth Hua Yuzhu!

LOL! Exactly!

And ha, clearly I don't get out much, because I always associated Wang Xiangyang's hair change with his turn to the dark side. Zhu Jiu's purple, too, though I don't know if that's supported by canon. (Interesting that Ya Qing doesn't have a similar transformation, given she "drowned [her]self in darkness"... Maybe her Crow genes are too strong. *g*)
