In the isolated island church shrouded in fog, twelve bells ring to mark the 89th day of the cycle. When the survivors of the seventh rebirth discovered the new corpse, the stained glass was reflecting the 89th rainbow - the last chance to break the 12th cycle.
The Gothic church twists with the ringing of the bells: the cloister grows branching roads, the confessional connects the memories of ten years ago, and the birthmarks of the 12 bones under the altar are exactly the same as those of the survivors. Detective Lu Chen's lockout pocket watch points to the day of his wife's fall, doctor Shen Qiu's anti-venom serum hints at the island's non-existent secrets, writer Jiang Yue's manuscript pattern overlaps with the church window grilles, and Chen Mo, the only one who remembers the cycle, whose graffiti ten years ago is actually the key to the cycle.
The reversal of gears caused the building to melt, the bloody words in the manuscript reappeared, and the timeline split into itself in parallel time and space. When Chen Mo discovers that the dome star map corresponds to the Chernobyl nuclear explosion, the tape accuses him of being the 13th looper, and the unborn character in Jiang Yue's works becomes the key to solving the problem.
In the end, the church glass burst when Chen Mo destroyed himself, and countless clocks and sunken ships emerged after the fog cleared. In the reverse flow of time, corpses form a giant clock face - this dilemma between Cthulhu and quantum physics is nothing more than a 12-hour experiment in a higher dimension. The 13th bell echoes outside the book. Who is the chess piece trapped in the time gear?
