However, the question arises - how did Lu come to possess Cheng's abilities? As revealed in the concluding episode of Link Click season 2, extraordinary powers can be transferred from a deceased individual to another.
This is precisely how Qiao Ling obtained Li Tianxi's powers. When Li Tianxi drew her final breath, her powers transferred to Qiao Ling, enabling her to confront Li Tianxi's visions and all those connected to her.
As a result, she managed to catch a glimpse into the recollections of Lu Guang. In that moment, she witnessed Lu grasping the motionless body of Cheng Xiaoshi. Although deeply perturbed by this sight, she remained uncertain whether it was a figment of her imagination or an actual event.
