[English subtitles are available]

You really care about Xiao Tian.

The day when Xiao Tian had his accident,

you also came.

And you left him a commemorative AR coin.

We made a pact.

The one who loses

will take the coin as a memento,

and return it to another person when he wins.

But he has been in coma,

so, I'm keeping the coin for him first.

I'm waiting for him to wake up and return it to me.

I've been staying

by Xiao Tian's side the last couple of days.

I want him to wake up too.

Do you really want him to wake up?

What does that mean?

Nothing.

Since I've seen him,

I should go.

Bai Wei!

I hope you will really

take good care of your best friend.

[Episode 21]

[Eight Hours]

Hi, Mr. Lin.

Hello, Mr. Zhang.

[I'm waiting for you on the rooftop.]

Mr. Zhang, why do you want to see me?

I want to confirm if what you want

is the same as what I want.

Such as

Ye Tian should just stay in a coma.

Such as it's best for everyone

if he never wakes up.

What are you talking about?

You heard me very clearly.

I'm curious about

the reason you administered

Colami to him.

What nonsense are you talking about?

On June 13,

you purchased a batch of Colami

from the black market.

On the night of Ye Tian's accident,

June 23,

[you secretly injected this drug]

into your best friend, Ye Tian's body.

I'm warning you,

you could be held legally responsible for saying that,

you know?

You want the police to get involved?

Go ahead.

Not only will I take responsibility for my words,

but I can also provide evidence to back up my words.

I'm sure you remember that on the night of Ye Tian's accident,

there was a three-hour gap in the security footage

of the test department lobby.

Because of this, many people

were held accountable and fired by the group.

The footage of the three hours gap,

I have it.

That night,

although you replaced certain parts of the security footage

of the test department lobby,

you would never have thought

that there was another security camera in a hidden spot in the department.

When the department was renovated last year,

they forgot to remove it.

I only noticed it when I watched the replay last night.

Due to the camera angle,

it didn't capture your face,

but your movements and posture

can't escape the body movement identification system.

Are you interested

in watching the replay with me, Mr. Lin?

Let's look at

what you did to Ye Tian

when he was online

in the engineering machine doing tests.

Even if the situation was as you say,

as you know, Mr. Zhang,

you are the only person in the company

who can execute voltage overload

in the experience cabin

through the main control room.

Is this your counterattack after being exposed?

Fine.

I can also tell you that

I'm not the only one

with access to the main control room.

You have access to it too.

Let me put it this way,

so what if you guessed it right?

The biggest difference between you and I

is that I have the security footage as a proof,

and you have nothing.

As long as I show the police the security footage

and blame it all on you,

who do you think the police will believe?

Alright.

Let's not argue about this.

Actually, on this matter,

you and I already had a preliminary agreement.

It's just that you injected Ye Tian with Colami,

which caused him to end up

in this state by accident.

Just because of

that infrequent

2021 code error,

Ye Tian refused to take any advice

and was determined to destroy the entire Pangu project,

taking everyone in Celeste Group down with it.

Preposterous!

You and I would have stopped him for sure.

Because we wouldn't have wanted him to go down the wrong path.

Right?

Lin,

the truth is, deep down, you and I are the same kind of people.

No, I'm not like you.

You will never understand

my friendship with Xiao Tian.

I just didn't want Pangu to be destroyed just like that.

That's why I injected Colami into his body.

I just wanted him to sleep for a few days

so that Pangu could be launched as scheduled.

I did not expect this would happen.

I've thought about the worst case scenario.

I could turn myself in.

I could tell the world the truth about everything.

I've thought about making it up to him.

And I've thought about all the solutions.

I got all the top brain specialists

to come and check on him.

I've regretted it countless times.

I've thought about turning myself in.

Now I know.

It's all because of you!

I've figured it out.

It's because you executed the voltage overload first,

added with the effect of Colami,

that's why he couldn't wake up!

Since you've thought about turning yourself in,

but why haven't you done so?

Are you going to say it's because Pangu needs you?

Celeste needs you?

It can't go on without you?

You have to protect Celeste for Ye Tian?

Stop kidding yourself.

Ye Tian was born

to be the top of the biological chain

of human society,

and you weren't.

You know better than anyone

that you and he are not the same species at all.

Pangu

is indeed the greatest work of art I have ever seen.

But the flowers and applause,

the glory and the stage,

have always belonged to him.

Does anyone remember

that this is the work of you and him?

Stop.

Lin,

you could only hide in the dark corner

and be his shadow.

Ye Tian...

To Ye Tian, Pangu is

just an invention for him to demonstrate his genius,

whereas Pangu means

everything to you.

If you let him shut down Pangu,

your life also be destroyed!

Because you've worked restlessly for it

over the past few years.

It is an ambition of yours to reshuffle the industry.

It's a big bet on which you stake everything.

It made you who you are,

instead of being someone's shadow.

Therefore,

even if the whole world agrees with

Ye Tian's decision to shut down Pangu,

you will never agree.

Even if he will stay in a coma for the rest of his life,

you will still do it.

Stop.

I said, shut up!

Drop the act.

You don't want him to wake up at all!

You've worked your way up from chief engineer

of the technical department

to acting CEO

of the group.

How can you give it up?

Can you really give up the position

you've always dreamed of?

Answer me!

Do you really want him to wake up

and ruin your life again?

Answer me.

So you're saying that

his consciousness is stuck in Pangu,

and he will never get out?

Here's an advice for you. Will you take it?

These problems

are no longer your concerns.

Put this conversation behind you.

Go back to Celeste Group and continue to be the acting CEO.

Boss,

the patient is telling everyone

he sees in Pangu

that he can't get offline,

but no one believes him.

We've tracked him down.

What should we do now?

Get online and get rid of him.

Now.

Boss,

once we do this,

there is no turning back.

If we don't get rid of him,

when this gets out,

it will turn many people's lives into a living hell.

You understand?

[Yes, Boss.]

Man, I can't get offline.

Can you get my message to someone?

No, no.

You can't kill me.

I can't get offline.

If you kill me,

I can't be resurrected.

I'm sorry.

He is now in a vegetative state.

There is nothing more we can do.

Hao Ran.

Hao Ran, wake up!

Hao Ran!

Ran!

Hao Ran!

Ran, don't leave me.

Hao Ran, you can't leave me.

Ran, why aren't you saying anything?

Hao Ran.

Ran.

Doctor, I'm begging you.

Please save him.

We will do our best.

I assure you, we will do our best.

Hao Ran.

President, you...

Don't call me president.

Ms. Ding, the meeting with Celeste Group this time

is very important to Celeste.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lin will both attend the meeting.

Got it.

Ms. Ding,

are you upset because of

what happened in Pangu?

Zhang Hao Cheng thought I had been indulged in the game

since I created Heavenly Society,

so he revived the society as soon as he could to please me.

Unfortunately, the game is just a game.

Business is my field of expertise.

I'm about to invest in Celeste.

I'm just doing my research in advance.

Fight no battle unprepared.

You haven't been online the last few days.

I went to the society two days ago.

Invincible and the others asked

if they should go to confront Sea of Flowers

and get even with them.

It was fun at first,

but now that the outside world is interfering,

that just killed the fun.

It's just a game.

When I had the mood, I could get wild and enjoy the fun.

The excitement is gone now.

About Sea of Flowers and the masked guy,

just forget it.

Lin, you're here.

Have a seat.

Sorry I'm late.

You seem pale, Mr. Lin.

Looks like running a big project like Pangu

is a lot of work.

Let me give you a brief overview of the overall plan

for the next season of Pangu.

No need.

Everything is clearly written on the business proposal.

And I have full confidence in your technical

and operational skills.

This time,

I'm here to talk about something else.

There was a rumour

that a user suffered a brain death

due to some unknown reason

when he was logging in Pangu.

This is a safety hazard of Pangu.

If this problem is not solved,

I am afraid it will affect our cooperation.

After all, the safety of users is the top priority.

Of course.

Ms. Ding,

actually, this rumour that you heard,

it caught my attention too.

The source of this rumour is a Pangu member forum.

There is no credibility.

As you know,

a lot of eyes are watching Pangu.

Our competitors wish

something would go wrong with Pangu.

So, they hired ghostwriters

to slander Celeste,

creating so many rumours against us.

There is no actual proof.

It's not worth mentioning.

Sounds like you've looked into it, Mr. Zhang.

Of course.

The patient you mentioned,

I've checked his medical report.

It was his personal illness

that caused this tragedy.

His medical records are still in the hospital.

If you don't believe me, Ms. Ding,

you can go and take a look at it yourself.

Don't worry.

The safety of Pangu users

is always our top priority.

Mr. Lin is the authority on this subject.

He can tell you more about this. Right?

Yes.

Pangu experience cabin's risk prevention memo

is timely monitored and updated by us.

Moreover, before Pangu was launched,

I took the lead

in conducting 452 risk prevention tests.

The test results have been submitted.

There will be no problems.

[Searching for Ye Tian's location]

Do you think that after he was forced to go offline,

his consciousness hasn't been able to return to Pangu?

Could it be that his account has been deleted?

Don't worry.

I think his consciousness is still in Pangu.

His account isn't deleted.

Look at this.

This is the memo of the deleted accounts in Pangu

He's not in the list.

Even if his name

isn't displayed in the game,

the system will replace it with a blank space.

He isn't in there.

[Searching]

You've never told me about

a user having brain death.

Are you saying

that I need to report to you about

every trivial matter in the group?

Are you certain that

this has nothing to do

with the 2021 code error

mentioned by Mr. Ye?

After all,

you are even capable of

falsifying surgical reports and medical records.

I know what you are capable of.

Of course I'm certain.

But if you don't trust me,

there is nothing I can do.

It's good that you're certain,

but I should warn you,

if 2021 code error

really existed,

it would lead to

other unforeseen consequences.

We can forget about Ding Group's investment then,

because this would bring a devastating blow to Celeste.

When that happens,

neither you nor I will be able to get away with it.

As I said, the system is fine!

Now that we've come to this point,

no one can stop

Pangu's continued operation.

No one can stop Ding Group's investment.

Not Ye Tian, not you.

Is that clear?

Mr. Lin, you seem to have forgotten

that we had a deal.

Let me refresh your memory.

If I turn over the evidence I have

to the police now,

it's over for you.

And by the way,

I know you haven't given up

looking for Ye Tian in Pangu.

Remember,

every news about Ye Tian,

I need to hear about it first.

Is that clear?

What are you two...

Yun Yun,

Lin and I

just reached an agreement on

on the update of next season of Pangu.

Right, Mr. Lin?

[Only one life is not enough for people.]

[We deserve to have a more poetic world.]

[Today,]

[Celeste Group opens the door]

[to a new world for everyone.]

[That is the Pangu Pod.]

[The brain scanning device inside the pod...]

Lin Feng.

You approved Zhang Hao Cheng's proposal

about the Pangu mall system so easily.

Why am I the last one to know about it?

Linda,

you know best about Pangu's operating

and promotion costs.

Although it looks that Pangu is still a major hit,

we actually have a lot of bad debts underneath.

And you know that very well.

If we want to balance the books quickly

and even turn losses into profits,

other than launching the mall system,

there is no other way.

I can't believe

you just said that.

Let me ask you,

where will we find the funding

for Pangu's future updates if the group's capital chain is disrupted?

We will never be able to realise

all the dreams and visions

we have for Pangu.

I'm sure that is not what you and I want to see.

Once you approved the mall system today,

next he will get you to approve game proxy,

after that, it will be in-game purchases.

Do you really want

to add back all the things

we've crossed out all at once?

Do you think that's what Xiao Tian wants?

Lin Feng,

Celeste was established

by Xiao Tian and us.

Although our relationship has changed,

as a team,

I believed that I knew you well,

I knew what you wanted to do,

what you wanted to achieve.

But why am I starting

to get a little confused now?

Are you still the man I know?

Why is Zhang Hao Cheng so determined to launch the mall system?

Is it really for the group's debt?

Once this system goes online,

how much room he would have to tamper with it,

do you really not know?

Don't bring up Xiao Tian now!

Whether it's Xiao Tian

or Zhang Hao Cheng,

I don't need

anyone's approval to make any decisions!

I am this group's

CEO.

Yes. You are Mr. Lin now.

There are many things you have to consider.

Sorry to take up your time!

Mr. Lin.

[A suspected player character]

[that is not NPC and prop]

[is found in Misty Mountain sector.]

[The character meets GM001]

[characteristics.]

[Specific location found]

Do you really want him to wake up?

Do you really wish for him to wake up?

The glory and the stage

have always belonged to him.

You could only hide in the dark corner

and be his shadow.

Do you really want him to wake up

and ruin your life again?

You don't want him to wake up at all!

Xiao Tian, given the situation,

I have no choice but to kill you.

I'm sorry.

[Level 1 Access Code]

[Deletion starts in preparation]

But that's not right.

I went online to find him.

He wasn't in the courtyard.

I also went through the index

and checked all of Pangu's users' online

and offline records.

He isn't in there.

He has probably taken advantage

of the loophole of his account, which is a bug in the system,

and killed himself in Pangu.

This way, the system has no way

to determine his online status,

[Recycle bin]

that's why he could come out to save you,

but what he didn't expect is that

because the system could not determine him,

it treated him as a bug

and threw him into the recycle bin.

Recycle bin?

Yes. This one.

This is

Pangu's designated recycle bin

for NPCs

and props with bugs.

His case should be an exception.

Where is this recycle bin?

Misty Mountain.

Ye Tian, let's go.

What's wrong?

Who are you?

What do you mean "who are you"?

You know who I am.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

Don't tell me you've lost your memory

because your brain data has been damaged

after you were forced to go offline?

[Recycling furnace will be activated within 30 seconds.]

[Players, please leave immediately.]

Come on. Let's get out of here first.

Let's talk outside.

Come on.

Let go of me!

I don't know you!

[Recycling furnace will be activated within 10 seconds.]

Let's get out of here first, okay?

Let's go...

Don't touch me.

Ye Tian, I'm Bai Wei.

Do you not remember me at all?

Come on!

[Deletion starts in preparation]

Hold on to me!

Don't let go!

Our time is coming!

It's coming!

Hold on to me! Don't let go!

Let me out of here!

[Cancelling deletion]

[Cancelling deletion]

Ye Tian.

Get up.

We're fine now.

It hurts.

I'm here. You'll be fine.

Xiao Tian,

I couldn't bring myself to kill you.

Misty Mountain will be

your lifelong prison.

Actually, isn't life

just like a prison for everyone?

Xiao Lin Lin.

What's the matter? You look glum.

What's up?

Why do you want to see me?

Do I need a reason to come to see you?

What's wrong?

Are you already in a bad mood

or you just don't want to see me?

Nothing.

I've just been feeling frustrated lately.

Talk to me about it.

If you won't say it, I'll say it for you.

It's either someone in the group

has objected your proposal,

or someone has told you something.

That's not a problem.

I know you're under a lot of pressure.

I get it.

But if you are

too sensitive,

if you care too much about what others think about you,

other than upsetting yourself,

what good can it bring?

Don't you think so?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Did I say something wrong?

Think about it.

You are the CEO

of the group now.

You can do

whatever you want.

I got it.

Then, I'll leave you to it.

Yun Er.

Thank you.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Is she dating someone?

I don't know.

[Le Le,]

[Xiao Lin Lin called me Yun Er today!]

[He even said thank you to me!]

You've made your decision,

but I should still remind you to be cautious.

Zhang Yun Er's personality is different from her father's.

If you tell her everything,

I'm afraid...

I still have to tell her eventually.

If I can't be honest with Yun Yun,

Hao Cheng and I

can never really be together.

Do you know how I feel right now?

I feel like I'm locked in a dark room.

If I don't break open that window,

I won't have a way out.

He was too close to the furnace.

His character data was partially deleted.

That's why he doesn't really remember me.

Ye Tian?

Ye Tian?

Stay back!

Ms. Wei,

I think

he's confused now.

He may not even know he's in Pangu,

however,

because his character data is incomplete,

at least he can avoid the Shield's monitoring.

Even if you don't exchange consciousness with him,

he won't be deleted from the game anymore.

Ye Tian, don't be afraid.

No one will hurt you.

You're lying!

I don't know you!

What are you trying to do to me?

This is abduction, you know?

We're not lying.

This is your home.

Home?

Yes.

I don't have a home.

Xiao Liang, back off.

Let me talk to him.

Ye Tian.

Why don't I remember this?

Because your memory has been erased.

Your name is Ye Tian.

Do you remember that?

Ye Tian, the chairman of Celeste Group...

You scared him!

Xiao Liang. Xiao Liang.

Back off.

Ye Tian! Ye Tian!

Ye Tian!

Ye Tian, watch out!

You don't remember this trap?

You were worried that I would be harmed at home.

This is the defence system you set up for me.

I won't hurt you.

I promise.

Let me stay with you, okay?

Ye Tian, look at me.

Ms. Wei...

Xiao Liang, go offline.

Leave him to me.

How can I

leave you alone when he's like this?

Go offline. Now.

It's okay. Don't be afraid.

No one will hurt you.

Don't worry. No one will hurt you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Zhao Jia Liang!

Why aren't you up there?

I'm going up to see Wei Wei.

Don't go up.

Ms. Wei is in Pangu.

Why is she in Pangu again?

Does she like Pangu that much?

Like?

When your love for something turns into a habit,

you will never be able to leave it.

Even if that thing is damaged,

she will still treat him as a treasure.

Yes.

When love becomes a habit,

it's hard to break it.

What about you?

Why do you have the habit to protect Wei Wei?

I envy Wei Wei sometimes.

I think she's so lucky.

You and I are the same.

We don't realise what we already have.

We don't know how to cherish

those who are devoting themselves to us.

Looks like you don't need me to tell you.

You figured it out yourself.

I did not.

So that's pretty much that.

Because there was a code error problem,

I've been trying to help you get out.

Until Pangu's big update at the end of this month.

Wait.

You're saying that this is a virtual world?

There's a real world out there, right?

Yes.

You're a scammer, aren't you?

I'm not lying.

Everything you see now,

including what you touch,

was created by you.

I created this?

Who are you then?

Me?

How should I put it?

I'm your wife in Pangu.

You're my wife?

GM001

is you.

We got this title

because we are married.

GM001?

The name

sounds like a code.

It is a code.

You are my little code.

Little code, you know,

you were the one who wooed me.

We've been together for what I believe

to be the same amount of time that you courted me.

Anyway, I only said yes

because you wouldn't stop pestering me.

I don't believe you.

You don't believe me?

I'll show you the proof.

[I, Ye Tian,]

[officially authorize Bai Wei]

[as my guardian starting today.]

[She is solely responsible for any decisions]

[I make outside of Pangu.]

[I will accept liability for everything.]

[Bai Wei will not be liable for any legal responsibility.]

And then, you proposed to me.

You're my wife

and my guardian?

Yes, that's right.

I think it is better for us

I like Lin Feng!

I love him!
