Picking up the events from the previous episode, Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5 begins with Cheng Xiaoshi telling Lu Guang about his uncanny experience of what he felt like diving back in time. He mentions how he stepped into the time and space of the picture and experienced the fire accident first-hand in a foreigner's body.

Xiaoshi adds that he had a similar experience when he found his father's photo before when Xiaoshi felt like he was on the streets of Bridon. The boy then wonders whether there's something special about the photos. Guang already knows all this and tells Xiaoshi that someone once told him that people like him and Xiaoshi are born with special powers.

Guang's words fire up Xiaoshi, who thinks they are the "heroes of an anime." Following that, in Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, Lu Guang asks Xiaoshi for more details regarding his time travel experience. Xiaoshi describes his experience minutely, including how he was about to meet his father, Cheng Weimin, inside the building.

He laments his father might not be alive, especially after what he has seen. However, Guang thinks he shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. Guang then tells Xiaoshi that he has already checked for clues regarding the unknown survivor from the fire incident on social media.

According to Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, the survivor happens to be a student who went missing shortly after being rescued. Only their student card was left at the scene. Guang feels they can use Xiaoshi's abilities to go back to the past and investigate her identity from other photos.

Besides that, Guang plans to go with Xiaoshi. He reveals he might get connected to Xiaoshi's consciousness by high-fiving him. However, Lu Guang warns Xiaoshi not to influence or change past events but only to act as an observer. Guang tries to explain how every small change one makes in the photo can significantly impact the future.

The narrative for Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5 switches the perspective to a blonde girl in school who gets bullied by her friends. It is revealed that Cheng Xiaoshi has dove back in time to possess the body of a girl from the Bahati Languague School.

Xiaoshi badly wants to teach the girl's friends a lesson, but Guang tells him not to influence a change in the timeline. According to Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, Cheng Xiaoshi possesses Wang Qing, one of the top students of the academy, who also happens to be a loner. That's why some students hate her.

Meanwhile, one of Wang Qing's friends threatens her to help them cheat in the upcoming class test. When Qing (or Cheng) refuses, her friends slam her head against the washroom's basin and leave. Cheng Xiaoshi is infuriated as he has to help the girls cheat in an exam.

Just then, in Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, Lu Guang reminds Xiaoshi that he has to get all the answers correct since Wang Qing is a top student. The narrative then switches to the classroom, where Cheng Xiaoshi is puzzled to see the exam's questions. As such, Guang ends up helping him mark the correct answers.

Meanwhile, Xiaoshi cleverly placed the answer sheet so Qing's friends could see them. During the test, Xiaoshi momentarily loses connection with Lu Guang. With only one question left to be answered, he subtly checked the answer from a student behind him.

However, Xiaoshi's act gets him caught by the homeroom teacher. As soon as Cheng Xiaoshi notices the teacher, his face turns pale. It's none other than his father, Cheng Weimin. The narrative for Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5 moves to the faculty office, where Weimin asks Qing if she's in trouble.

Weimin feels it's unusual for a top student like Wang Qing to be cheating. Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaoshi is at a loss for words as he still grapples with reality. Weimin, who doesn't know that Qing's body is possessed by his son, wonders why the girl won't say anything.

Just then in Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, Cheng Weimin tells Qing how he couldn't be a decent father to his son and be present during his upbringing. That's why, he wants to rectify his mistakes, and listen to his students' plight, not as a strict teacher but as a friend or an elderly man.

Weimin then extends his hand toward Qing. Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaoshi, possessing Wang Qing's body, slaps Weimin's hands, asking him how he can trust him when he couldn't even be there for his son. Xiaoshi shows Qing's scarred arm and recalls the bullying experiences she has faced.

Wang Qing's outburst surprises Weimin, who doesn't know how to respond. Just then, a young kid calls Weimin for something. Interestingly, the student resembles Xia Fei. Meanwhile, Lu Guang urges Xiaoshi to recollect himself and focus on the mission.

While Weimin is away, Xiaoshi hurriedly goes through the students' files to check with whom the survivor student's ID matches. As soon as he finds it, Xiaoshi returns to his timeline. According to Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5, the survivor is none other than Wang Qing.

Now, the duo wonders how they can find Wang Qing in the current timeline. Guang knows the Bridon police won't help them. That's why he decides to ask Xia Fei's boss, whose unconventional means could help them meet the girl. The narrative for Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5 switches to Guang and Xiaoshi meeting Vein and Xia Fei.

Maintaining his composure, Guang tells Vein that they came across the fire story and found some pieces of information on the internet. Hence, they wondered if it could be made into a video as a matter of personal interest.

After a slight pause, Vein says he'll gladly help them, as they are Felix's friends. However, in return, he wants something. Link Click: Bridon Arc episode 5 ends with Vein asking Cheng Xiaoshi to serve him in exchange for the information on Wang Qing.
