The unknown people possessor in Link Click was revealed to be Lin Zhen in the final episodes of the series. Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang had been investigating a series of mysterious deaths, and they eventually discovered that Lin Zhen was responsible. They also discovered that Lin Zhen was not a real person, but a digital consciousness that had been preserved after her death.

Lin Zhen confronted Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, and she explained her motivations. She said that she wanted to create time travel technology so that she could prevent her death and the deaths of all the other people who had been killed in the accident. She also said that she wanted to use time travel to create a better world.

Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang were not convinced. They believed that Lin Zhen had become too obsessed with time travel and that she was willing to sacrifice anything to achieve her goal, even if it meant killing innocent people.

In the end, Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang were able to defeat Lin Zhen and destroy her digital consciousness. However, her story is a reminder that even the best intentions can lead to dark and dangerous places.

It is worth noting that Lin Zhen’s backstory is not fully revealed in the anime series. Some of her motivations are left ambiguous, and it is up to the viewer to decide whether or not they sympathise with her.
