《Southern archives》Episode 12 follows Zhang Haiyan’s collapse after learning the truth about the museum’s destruction.He came out of Dong's Mansion and was lost in the heavy rain. He could neither forgive himself nor know where to take Zhang Haixia.On the other side, after Bai Zhu was rescued from the seaside by fishermen, he reported to the adjutant Lu Junxiang that the Nan'an assassination failed and revealed that Miss Dong was actually Zhang Haiqi.After receiving the information, Lu Junxiang killed Bai Zhu directly without leaving any survivors alive, indicating that he was ready to shift his target from the Nan'an to Xia Cheng and Zhang Haiqi.
Zhang Haiyan lives on the street, trades his watch for two coffins, and almost wants to end everything with Zhang Haixia at the beach.Miss Dong reappeared at this time and finally revealed her true identity: she was Zhang Haiqi, the master of Zhang Haiyan and Zhang Haixia.Instead of comforting him with gentle words, she beat Zhang Haiyan awake and told him that Zhang Haixia was not really dead, but was on the verge of life and death after taking the fake death drug.This news brought Zhang Haiyan back from despair, and also made him know for the first time that there were many secrets inside the archives that he had never come into contact with.
Zhang Haiqi explained that the suspended animation and resurrection medicines are derived from special jellyfish and parasites, which can allow people to enter a death-like state and then be revived through medicinal materials.To save Zhang Haixia, we still need three rare medicinal materials, which can only be obtained by going deep into the core of the Southern Archives.The problem is that the main entrance of the archives has been closed, and the internal organs are full of dangers. Zhang Haiyan must find another entrance.He began to inquire about the strange news in Xiacheng. He heard that there was a strange thing about Hongtou Mama Palace where people cannibalized people through cracks in the walls. Lao Chen also saw an ancient book with cracks painted on it and the words "Southern Archives" written on it.Zhang Haiyan believes that this is the clue to the entrance. Episode 12 also switches from self-destruction after losing his friend to breaking into the archives to save Zhang Haixia.
The appearance of Zhang Haiqi changed Zhang Haiyan's state.She did not let him immerse himself in confession, but directly gave him a more difficult choice: either continue to drag the coffin and wait for Zhang Haixia to truly die, or enter the core of the closed archives and take out the three medicinal herbs.The setting of fake death potion and resurrection potion also explains why the Southern Archives can perform many tasks that ordinary people cannot complete.Zhang Haiyan only knew that he was an agent in the past, but he did not know that the archives held secrets that were close to the boundary between life and death.The rumor that people can eat people in the cracks in the wall of Hongtou Mama's Palace connects the folklore with the archives, indicating that the entrance is probably hidden in the most inconspicuous legend in the city.Episode 12 is therefore not only the emergence of hope for resurrection, but also the starting point where Zhang Haiyan is forced into the true core of the archives.Bai Zhu's silence also proves that Lu Junxiang will not allow losers to live, and the conflict between him and Zhang Haiqi will soon turn from the dark to the front.
