4. Deep Psychological Trauma from the Past

Domestic Violence Syndrome: Tianchen's cruel nature is not naturally born; it is the result of a long period of enduring beatings from his father and witnessing his mother's tragedy. This past has caused him to completely lose faith in the outside world and develop a deep antisocial personality.

Liu Xiao's Network of Relationships

In the Bridon underworld, Liu Xiao plays the role of the "puppet master" behind the scenes. He establishes relationships based on exploitation, money, and scheming:

With Vein – A seemingly friendly but secretly hostile partner: The two cooperate based on power and money. However, because both are seasoned schemers, they are always wary, cautious, and secretly engage in a fierce battle of wits.

With Felix – A tool in a transaction: Liu Xiao uses money to hire Felix as an undercover spy. He sees Felix as a cheap pawn, while Felix hates him intensely and openly labels him as "Annoying Client."

With Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang – "Hunter and Prey": Liu Xiao considers the two men his biggest targets. He uses every psychological trap, money, and threat to coerce and corner them in order to steal or control their time-traveling abilities.

Regarding the Li brothers (Li Tianxi & Li Tianchen) – the destroyer of the past: Liu Xiao is the one who approached and taught Li Tianchen the "hunter in the forest" mentality from the previous film. He exploited the brothers' abilities and then cruelly discarded them when they were no longer useful.

Liu Xiao's Abilities: Liu Xiao is one of the most mysterious and terrifying villains in the Link Click universe, possessing a highly advanced cerebral and psychological ability: Hearing Heartbeats: This is his core ability, the one he demonstrates most clearly. Liu Xiao can accurately hear the heartbeats of others. He uses this ability as a living "lie detector" to assess anxiety and fear. In the film, he uses it to master poker, seeing through bluffs, or to control the deadly Russian roulette table against his opponents.

---

The dark past and ruthlessness of "The Hunter": The storyline about Liu Xiao's past is intertwined with money, manipulation, and the origins of conspiracies throughout the films: Noble and upper-class background: Unlike Felix, burdened by financial difficulties, or Vein, who faces family feuds, Liu Xiao was born into an extremely wealthy and highly educated family, and was spoiled by his parents. However, material abundance fostered a distorted worldview: he disregarded human relationships and viewed life through the lens of a game.

---

The mastermind behind the Li twins (Past Part 2): Years ago, after the deaths of Li Tianchen and Li Tianxi's parents, Liu Xiao was the one who approached and shaped Tianchen's psychology. He instilled in the boy a toxic mindset of becoming "a hunter in the forest." Liu Xiao indirectly pushed the Li brothers down a path of crime, exploiting their abilities and then abandoning them when they were no longer useful.

---

The time-travel feud and the origin of the abilities: Major theories within the fan community (and hints from the storyline) suggest that Liu Xiao is closely connected to the origin of the superpowers (traces related to the Lu Guang family or the old Bahati school). He had planned this from the beginning, seeking to control Cheng Xiaoshi's fate and manipulate parallel timelines to achieve his ultimate personal goals.

Liu Xiao's personality: Control-obsessed and strategic thinker (MBTI: INTJ) Always one step ahead: Liu Xiao never acts impulsively. He views life and the people around him like a chessboard, where he sets the rules.

Cold, ruthless, and emotionless. Treats people as tools: For Liu Xiao, there is no concept of friends or teammates. Even Vein or Felix are just partners or pawns with temporary exploitable value. He is ready to discard or destroy anyone as soon as they are no longer valuable or dare to deviate from his plan. The mentality of a "Hunter": He considers hunting down Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's group as a form of entertainment that enhances his self-esteem. The suffering and panic of his prey only intensified his excitement.

Terrifying patience: He could spend a great deal of time stalking, gathering information, and waiting for the most opportune moment to deliver the decisive blow to eliminate his target.

---

4. Arrogance and overconfidence in his own intelligence. By nature, he was extremely arrogant. Liu Xiao was confident that his ability to hear heartbeats and his calculating mind could see through all lies and control the future. This arrogance inadvertently became his biggest weakness when facing the variables outside of Lu Guang's timeline.

---

In 2017, in Bridon, Vein accidentally witnessed Felix (Xia Fei) being bullied and nearly drowned in a swimming pool by a group of jealous models.

Vein intervened to save Felix's life. However, instead of a pure act of salvation, Vein saw Felix's exploitable value, signed a contract with him, and trained him to become a loyal spy, beginning a toxic symbiotic relationship that lasted for many years.

Vein's personality: Eccentric, cheerful, and outgoing. Playful: In his normal state, Vein always appears to be an extrovert, relaxed, somewhat eccentric, and enjoys making strange jokes.

At that point, Vein readily reveals his aggressive,瘋狂 nature and doesn't hesitate to use extreme violence to resolve the issue.

Anyone who violates his boundaries or deceives him faces extremely harsh punishments. He demands politeness: Vein has an obsession with rules of conduct. He hates rudeness and lack of culture and is ready to reprimand or punish other characters in the film if they behave disrespectfully or rudely. His suspicion stems from past psychological trauma.

---

Deep within Vein's psyche lies extreme loneliness and suspicion. Coming from a complicated family (with conflicts over inheritance) and being the sole survivor of the devastating fire at Bahati school, Vein never placed absolute trust in anyone. His confidence and arrogance in card games or fights were actually a mask concealing an inner self always wary of betrayal.

A Dark Past and Psychological Trauma

Felix's past is a series of tragedies that pushed a brilliant student down the path of crime in the underworld:

His "Normal" High School Days: Before becoming a confident male model, Felix was an excellent student but had a withdrawn personality and considered himself a "nerd."

The Bahati Fire Incident: Felix attended Bahati School – where a devastating fire occurred. This incident not only left deep psychological scars but also triggered or was related to the origin of his superpowers.

Bullying and Rescue: When he moved to Bridon to work as a freelance model, Felix was constantly envied, isolated, and bullied by other models. The climax came when this group of people tried to drown him in a swimming pool. At his most desperate moment, Vein appeared and saved his life.

The toxic bond: Vein's rescue was both a lifeline and a cage trapping Felix. Driven by gratitude and a psychological dependence, Felix accepted the contract, selling himself to the underground organization and becoming Vein's absolutely loyal pawn in order to earn money to cover the expensive cost of living as a student abroad.

---

Past: With Vein (Vein): Boss and savior. Felix was absolutely loyal and heavily psychologically dependent on Vein.

With Liu Xiao (Liu Qiao): Undercover business partner. Felix only worked for money and intensely disliked him (referred to as "Annoying Client").

With Cheng Xiaoshi & Lu Guang: Initially approached them to spy, but later developed a genuine friendship and decided to stop harming them.

With Cheng Weiming (Cheng Xiaoshi's father): An old childhood acquaintance from Bahati school before the fire.

Personality: Extroverted, confident, but sensitive. Open and confident: Contrary to his past self-proclaimed "nerd," his modeling career in Bridon helped Felix boost his self-esteem. He became an extroverted man (MBTI: ENFP), easily expressing his emotions and thoughts.

---

Easily moved and deeply affectionate: Despite being a spy planted to monitor Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, Felix unintentionally developed genuine camaraderie with them. This honesty constantly tormented him, making him feel guilty for deceiving his two friends. Absolute (to the point of blindness) loyalty: Felix held deep respect and attachment to his boss, Vein. This was because Vein had once saved his life when other models, consumed by jealousy, tried to drown him in a swimming pool. This gratitude led Felix to obey Vein unconditionally (the habit of constantly addressing him as "boss").

---

Upon hearing of Vein's misfortune, he readily disregarded his own safety, vowing to exact revenge. His ability to disguise and control his emotions is remarkable. A master of two-faced behavior: Felix is ​​adept at concealing his inner feelings. In front of others, he can be a clumsy, sweet, and kind exchange student; But as soon as he turns his back, he instantly becomes a shrewd pawn operating for the underground organization.

Impulsive actions when drunk: Although normally very self-controlled to maintain his model image, when drunk, Felix becomes quite reckless, loses control, and acts without considering the consequences.

As a student studying abroad in the expensive city of Bridon, burdened by heavy financial pressures, money is the only thing that gives him a sense of security.

Even if in real life he might be tired, anxious, or hiding dark secrets, as soon as the camera is on, he instantly transforms into a perfect, flawless male god.

Xia Fei: A classmate from overseas (Bridon Arc); helps him better understand his abilities.

He will have all of that person's memories, emotions, and senses. 12-hour limit: He can only stay in the world of the photograph for a maximum of 12 hours from the moment the picture was taken. After 12 hours, he is forced to leave. Connection with Lu Guang: While Cheng Xiaoshi is in the past, Lu Guang in the present acts as the "eye." Lu Guang can see all events happening within the next 12 hours of the photo and uses a walkie-talkie to guide Cheng Xiaoshi along the right path. The ultimate rule: "No matter what happened in the past, absolutely not a single detail should be changed." If changed, the future will be derailed (the butterfly effect). However, due to his emotional nature, Cheng Xiaoshi has repeatedly violated this rule.
