The camera begins to rotate, symbolizing that Chae Yeon's worldview is about to be subverted. In the rapidly rotating shot, the tapping of fingers becomes louder and louder, as if a drum is beating, and it hits the heart one by one.

At the same time, Cao Lin's slightly tired voice sounded: "I've always longed to tell people what happened to me, but I don't dare. Now, I'm telling you in this way that the world isn't as simple as you think. No one will be able to see my grave after I die, so let me mourn myself: Cao Lin, 43, died by suicide. He was a sinner, yet a poor victim. I was in this place, at this moment, in captivity for ten years.

The nightmare began on March 17, 2041, when I was drunk driving and crashed into a school bus, killing several children, along with my wife and daughter......"

At the same time as Cao Lin stated, the scene switches to the scene of the car accident, the wreckage of the car, the child lying in a pool of blood, and his desperate face.

The screen switches again, and the judge in the courtroom announces in a loud voice: "You are sentenced to one day of life imprisonment: for the rest of your life, you will live the same day forever - the day we have chosen at random, August 19, 2001, and all your life activities will be confined to these twenty-four hours until the end of your life." As a humanitarian favor, you can serve your sentence in a lively city, but during your sentence, you cannot mention anything about you and your punishment to anyone around you, otherwise, we will transfer you to a small enclosed space to spend your sentence in solitude. ”

In the dark of midnight, strong lightning illuminates the uninhabited alley. Zhang Ran and the man in black appeared out of thin air with Cao Lin, and then the three of them walked towards the hotel where Cai Yan was.

At this time, the audience, who has been tormented by suspense, finally figured out what was going on, and the feeling of a sci-fi film finally came out. They all invariably concentrate and wait for the story to continue.

On the first day, Cao Lin got up early and planned to go out for a walk. As soon as she opened the door, Zuo Xiaoqing, who lived next door, walked over, she looked at Cao Lin and greeted, "Hi!"

Cao Lin replied: "Hi!"

Zuo Xiaoqing said again: "My fireboat is broken, can I borrow a fire?"

Cao Lin took out the lighter and lit Zuo Xiaoqing's cigarette.

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Cao Lin and asked, "Did you just move here?"

Cao Lin nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zuo Xiaoqing said: "You don't look like a local, you're here for a tourist?"

Cao Lin told her the lies that he had made up a long time ago.

Walking down the street, Cao Lin bought a newspaper from the newsboy around the corner, and first looked at the date: August 19, 2001, and the front page news was very attractive. Cao Lin walked across the street and asked for breakfast, coffee and toast at the café opposite.

……

The next day, Cao Lin went out at the same time. Zuo Xiaoqing, who lived next door, came over again and said exactly the same thing as yesterday: "My fireboat is broken, can I borrow a fire?"

Guests, parks, movies, lunches, pigeons...... Exactly the same scene, exactly the same thing, everything is as accurate as the pendulum of a clock, the only difference is Cao Lin.

In the first few days, Cao Lin was not depressed or afraid, and even observed this crazy world with a sense of superiority and curiosity.

It's just that time repeats itself day by day, every day is those people, those things, and those words, Cao Lin quickly got tired of it, he became more and more irritable, and after meeting Zuo Xiaoqing next door, his attitude became worse and worse, and even began to go crazy directly.

Cao Lin tried to change all this, tried to break the cage of time, but he didn't dare to make too much of a move, because the judge had said that he could not mention his punishment to anyone around him, otherwise, he would be transferred to a small closed space and spend his sentence in solitude.

Cao Lin began to change the trajectory of his life, changing the time he got up, walking different streets, meeting different people, he broke the street lamp, wanted to see if his destruction seemed to work, and even decided to stay at 12 o'clock to see how time pulled him back to 12 hours ago.

At 11:59 a.m., Cao Lin came to the front desk of the hotel. He asked with a little expectation, "What time is it today, and what time is it?"

Cai Yan looked at the time: "August 20th, 0 o'clock, what's wrong?"

Cao Lin couldn't believe his ears, could it be that time had been broken, and he said in surprise: "It's really the 20th?"

Cai Yan smiled: "Yes, you have been living here for a day!" As she spoke, Cai Yan began to look down at the check-in records.

Cao Lin waved his arm gently, he finally got rid of the prison of time, and kept saying: "Great, great!"

At this moment, Cao Lin suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Cai Yan, she stood there like a puppet and couldn't move, and couldn't help but shout: "Cai Yan, Cai Yan!"

Cai Yan didn't react at all, Cao Lin knocked on the counter and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Cai Yan suddenly raised her head, looked at Cao Lin, and asked with a little puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

Cao Lin's pupils dilated instantly, and he asked sleepwalking, "What time is it?"

Cai Yan was frightened by his expression and looked at the time: "August 19th, 0:00 past 1 a.m." When did you come down?"

Cao Lin suddenly collapsed, didn't answer Cai Yan's question, was stunned, and said, "Oh, that's the case, thank you." With that, he walked upstairs in despair.

It was as if there was a kind of magic enveloping Cao Lin, and whenever a twenty-four-hour cycle was about to pass, that magic would always pull him back to twenty-four hours ago, imprisoning him forever in these 24 hours.

On this day, the depressed Cao Lin came to a strange street. On the corner of the street, he saw a little girl who looked exactly like his daughter.

Cao Lin couldn't help but walk towards the little girl, wanting to talk to the little girl. Just then, the little girl was attracted by the advertisement across the street and ran towards the middle of the road. A car sped towards and knocked the little girl into the air.

He was stunned, remembering his daughter who had died in a car accident, and with a huge guilt gnawing at his heart, he vowed to save the little girl.

However, Cao Lin's rescue was not successful, things were always wrong, as if there was a mysterious force manipulating, making everything develop on the predetermined track, and the little girl was killed again and again.

But Cao Lin didn't give up, and worked hard again and again. After countless failures, he finally saved the little girl.

The audience finally couldn't help it, and everyone let out a long breath, but the next plot made everyone's hearts hang again.

When Cao Lin woke up the next morning, he suddenly realized that everything was back to the beginning, the little girl was not saved, and she would be in a car accident again on this day.

Cao Lin found that he couldn't change anything, no matter what he did or how hard he tried, time would be reset, and everything would be restored. He sat on the bed and wept bitterly.

He was completely desperate, and his manpower was too small in the face of time. He started drinking, he started fooling around, anyway, life is like this, what else can he do but eat and wait for death?

Until one day, Cao Lin was fighting with someone in a bar, and the next day he woke up with obvious bruises on his face, and he suddenly realized that there was a way to save the little girl. So Cao Lin began to walk around the city, recording the exact time of every event he encountered.

Cao Lin has been preparing for ten years and has formulated a complete plan, what he should do at each point in time, where and where, accurate to the second. Of course, he didn't forget the Morse code, and only this way would not be discovered by the men in black.

The last days finally came, Cao Lin successfully rescued the little girl, rescued the child who fell from the tree, and helped many people in need. He was busy until nine o'clock in the evening, and Cao Lin returned to the hotel. He borrowed MP3s from Cai Yan's hands, wrote messages through Morse code, and then drank the poison and died peacefully.

At this time, the audience finally understood Cao Lin's thoughts, he rescued the little girl, and then died on this day, and the time could smoothly enter the next day, and the little girl could be rescued.

Cai Yan sat on the steps and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning on the 20th, the eternal day had passed, and Cao Lin would never appear again. She felt that this thing was incredible, like a strange dream, and shook her head with a smile: "Cao Lin is from 40 years later, the age is 33 years old, which means that he will not be born until 7 years later, Cao Lin is dead, but in fact he has not been born yet." It's weird!"

At this time, a thought flashed through Cai Yan's mind, and she stood up suddenly, looking extremely excited: "No, there is a way to save Cao Lin!"

The scene collapses to a young Cai Yan in her sixties, driving a car through the air and then stopping in the parking lot of a hotel.

She got out of the car, walked to a car and stopped, where she stood waiting.

After a while, Cao Lin staggered to this side, next to her beautiful wife and lovely daughter. Forty years ago, Cai Yan saw their photos from Cao Lin, and they were a very happy family.

Cao Lin opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Waiting for his wife and daughter to get into the car, he was about to start the car when Cai Yan knocked on the window. He opened the window and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cai Yan took out her police officer card and said coldly: "According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, you are suspected of drunk driving, please get out of the car and accept punishment!"

Cao Lin got out of the car with a depressed face: "Officer, I haven't driven yet, how can it be considered drunk driving?"

The screen switches, and it's already night. Cai Yan rested on the recliner with a shallow smile on her face, holding the old MP3 in her hand, and the music was playing softly, it was Cai Qin's "Forgotten Time".

The door opened, and a little girl ran in: "Grandma, what are you listening to?"

Cai Yan touched her granddaughter's head lovingly: "It's a very old song!"

Flashback to the scene, the scene of Cao Lin's crash on the school bus, and corpses all over the ground. The camera pans forward and pushes in front of a dead little girl who looks exactly like Cai Yan's granddaughter.

The screen goes black, and the subtitles are swiped across the screen.

Countless people in front of the TV were stunned, Cai Yan saved Cao Lin and saved the children in that car, but she didn't know that the school bus was the school bus her granddaughter was on, and while she saved others, she actually saved her granddaughter!
