[19th Floor]

[Episode 10]

Have you decided?

It may sound cruel

but your leg may never fully recover.

If you haven't decided, shall we…

- I'm good. - Okay.

[Party B: Nan Xiaoqin]

[East Tianhe Road]

[Tianji Science and Technology Unparalleled High-end VR experience]

Nan Xiaoqin, what are you doing here?

I came for groceries.

But I failed.

Let me help.

No need.

Hurry up.

What for? Rushing to the underworld?

What's wrong with you?

You're delaying all of us.

- What… - That's enough.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

Come on, we're buddies. We got each other's back.

Right, why are you here?

That was a gaming company.

They just released a game called the "19th Floor".

It was super realistic.

So shocking. So thrilling.

Do you play games?

Then you don't get

the fun of games.

Anyway, I passed their trial test

and they invited me over to sign a contract.

You signed it?

I asked them about the player Doudou

and threatened not to sign unless they

told me who she was.

They told you?

No.

So you didn't sign.

I signed.

Why?

I think they didn't tell me who she was

because she had dropped out

of the game.

But I also have a feeling

that she'd keep playing for sure.

She's such a special girl.

So brave. So powerful.

She saved my life in the game.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing her

in the game.

The chances are slim.

But I don't want to give up.

What a fool.

[Readers First]

Hello, I'm a substitute teacher here.

I'm Gao Xuan.

Mr. Gao, are you here to borrow books?

No, here's the thing.

A student of mine was here yesterday

and lost her textbook.

I'm wondering if I can

check the surveillance

and see if someone else took it.

Okay, when did it happen?

About eight in the evening.

Okay, please pause it.

Please go back a bit.

Okay.

Okay, here.

Kitty, I didn't know it would end up so bad.

She's getting punished.

Why did you do that?

What are you talking about?

Senior.

You posted the video.

No, it wasn't me.

The first post was uploaded at 20:01 last night

on campus, and it was easy

to find the IP address.

It's the third reading room in the library.

I checked the footage.

You were the only one there at that time.

[Student Apartment] You know what?

In the game, she was wearing some kind of…

I don't know what it's called.

- Anyway, she looked great. - Excuse me.

Where is the guy's dorm?

It's straight ahead.

Xiaoqin, excuse me. I…

Bro, it's so hard to find you, geez.

Come on, man. Why did you come to my college?

It's creepy.

I'm desperate.

Buddy, it's urgent. Help me out.

Again?

Lend me some money.

Not much.

Just 20 grand.

I'm desperate.

I have to pay the hospital bill.

Mr. Qiang, I wish I could help.

But I'm just a student.

Why would I have any money?

That's true.

Why don't you talk to your dad?

Make him pay. I'll get a bonus at least.

Forget it. My dad is all about money.

Maybe you can take me home and look for the bankbooks.

Say something.

Mr. Qiang, I think you should just…

[Girls only]

Chun Yu, what a small world. Do me a favor.

Go away.

B-Be reasonable. You're an educated person.

Mr. Qiang…

I guess it's a bad day.

Bawan, help me. I mean, Help Yong.

He's my buddy.

What about Yong?

He's in the ICU now.

You didn't get him transferred?

I wanted to.

But they got him a new doctor.

The previous one left after the advanced study.

And Yong got worse this morning.

Was his doctor surnamed Jia?

Yeah, Dr. Jia. I bet you've seen him before.

Yeah, I posted it.

But I was only telling the truth.

She didn't care about the cat. She left.

Just like how she ignored me.

She let someone vulnerable

who was counting on her there to die alone.

[Think Critically, Study Hard]

Qing You.

It's really hard to get to know someone.

Even if you see things with your eyes,

they may not be true.

What do you mean?

Come with me and you'll see.

- Hello. - Hi.

I have a package to deliver.

There is

a Mr. Jia in this neighborhood.

Do you know his exact address?

Call him and ask him.

I did but he didn't answer.

It's beyond my work scope.

Besides, it's a huge neighborhood.

There are a bunch of Mr. Jia.

Look, I'm running late.

There will be a penalty.

[Jia Haoran, Unit 1, Building 21] His name is Jia Haoran.

Jia Haoran? Dr. Jia!

Yeah.

He moved out this morning.

He did? Where did he go?

No idea. Ask the sender.

Granny?

Yu, a schoolmate of yours came here.

She's sitting right here on our sofa.

She gave me something to sign.

My schoolmate?

Yeah, that's right.

Yu, did you get into trouble at school?

Not at all, Granny. Be right there.

Have some water.

Granny.

Hello, Tianqiang.

Come on in. Have some tea.

Granny, I'm here to get a few things for Yong.

What? Give me a few things?

I'm here to get a few things for Yong.

Alright, go ahead.

- Okay. - Go ahead.

Be careful.

Alright.

Go ahead.

[China Merchants Bank]

Tianqiang.

I got you a cup of hot water.

Have it if you want.

Sure, thanks, Granny.

[Petition]

S-She's really getting punished?

Yeah, think about it, Granny.

As college students,

we should value compassion and morality.

Chun Yu made a mistake this time.

No, no way.

I know my grandchild.

She wouldn't have done something like that.

She looks cold but she's kind-hearted.

You got her wrong.

I didn't start it.

Someone caught her on camera.

Granny, don't worry.

Just sign the petition.

We'll take it to the administrators.

Maybe they will give her a lighter punishment.

Yu, you finally came.

- It's okay, Granny. - This is bad.

I'm terrified.

Senior, a word outside.

Let's talk right here in front of Granny.

Outside, please.

It's okay, Granny.

Chun Yu, I bet you know how serious

this can be.

You may get a formal punishment.

As your senior, I'd hate to see that happen.

I'm the head of the student union.

So I took the initiative

to gather signatures for the petition

to get you a lighter punishment.

I bet you don't mind it.

But I do.

First, I did nothing wrong here.

I don't need your help.

Secondly, you made a fuss about it

to spread the rumor. So stop pretending.

Lastly,

this is my final warning.

I don't care who you are or what you want.

Do not approach my family ever again.

Do you hear me?

Hei Er and Yong haven't been home or called me

for days.

Granny.

Hasn't Hei Er called you these days?

What?

Hasn't Hei Er called you these days?

Not at all. Seriously.

No way.

Tianqiang.

You grew up

with Hei Er and Yong.

And you're colleagues now.

It's good that you've been together all along.

But it's time to settle down.

Look at that kid next door, Dapeng.

He's only 24

and he's married with a kid.

I don't know if I'm ever going to see your children.

Of course, Granny.

Rest assured. I'll keep an eye on those two.

It's not just them.

You should work harder, too.

I have the red envelopes ready for your weddings.

Once Hei Er and Yong get married,

I won't owe their parents anything.

Granny.

I need to search a bit more.

Okay, go ahead.

Go.

That's the cat?

What can I do for you?

Hi, excuse me.

Do you know this girl?

This girl? She brought the cat here.

Are you sure?

Absolutely. I spoke with her.

And she's highly recognizable.

Boss, a minute, please.

Okay.

Look around. Talk later.

Thank you.

So Chun Yu never left it there.

[Think critically, study hard]

Get lost.

It was quite dangerous out there.

Maybe she thought it was safer for you in the coffin.

Chun Yu may be different from other girls.

She's proud, aloof, and stubborn.

Most people can't see the real her.

But I think you're an exception.

I bet she cares about you.

We all go through different stages in life.

We may meet

new friends at each stage.

Apart from you and me,

Chun Yu may make new friends.

But it doesn't mean

that you'll be gone from her life.

As for Chun Yu,

no matter how it goes,

she will never forget those who she cares about.

So she never abandoned me.

I knew she was like that more than anyone.

She did so much for me

but never said anything.

Why did I misunderstand her and hurt her?

Qing You, it's not too late yet.

Wenya, you're adorable.

Always with you.

So thirsty.

We love you.

Love you forever.

Thank you for your support.

I'll keep working hard.

Where are your roommates?

In class, of course.

Are they easygoing?

Of course, because I'm easygoing.

It's only been a week and we've

already become…

good friends.

Hello, there. Play along.

Clean the dorm for a week.

Blackmailing me?

I'll tell the truth.

Deal… Canceled.

Sweeties, I hate to keep you up late.

Let's call it a day. Bye, love you.

What's going on?

You can be bribed.

But someone will never play along.

I won't look for trouble.

So many viewers today.

You went to the Student's Office? Is it fine?

Of course not.

I signed a petition for her today.

Chun Yu, you must be grateful to our senior.

If I really did that,

would the petition make

any difference?

If I didn't do it,

the petition only serves to spread the rumor.

What's wrong with you? I was trying to help.

Cat-killer…

Real Video.

This is the cat known

[Opinion on Chun Yu] in the Cat-killing Incident.

It has been saved and treated.

It's recovering well.

Excuse me, Madam.

Do you know this girl?

I remember her. She rushed here

with this kitty that day.

She found it on the highway.

We treated the cat.

She paid the bill.

So she was wrongly accused.

Who knows what's real online?

But the person

who recorded the video sounds familiar.

It sounds like Gao Xuan, doesn't it?

No.

So she didn't hit the cat.

[Opinion on Chun Yu of Geriatric Rehabilitation]

So you were wrongly accused for real.

Isn't it obvious?

There's evidence and a witness. Can't you see?

I'm just asking, okay?

I want to hear from the victim.

Why are you picking on me?

Please don't say that. I'm not picking on you.

Y-You're not?

You roast me whatever I do or say.

I bet you really despise me.

You're right about that. I do despise you.

But I'm not picking on you.

Nan Xiaoqin, this is too much.

Clean the dorm this week.

Why? I stopped streaming.

[Chun Yu] Let's meet.

[Gao Xuan] Okay.

[Jianghua College]

Let's go for a walk.

Okay.

[Jianghua College]

So Dr. Jia disappeared.

The security guard said he moved this morning.

The hospital staff said he had left.

He's gone into the thin air.

That's pretty fishy.

He's gone the moment we look into him.

That already says a lot.

I bet he's done something

to our checkup reports.

Maybe we do have chips implanted.

Otherwise, we can't

be entering the game so casually.

Oh right, I meant to ask you.

Do you find any player

suspicious?

Qing You and Bawan are innocent.

Mr. Qiang looks fierce.

But he's dumb.

Also, I don't think he was faking it

when Hei Er and Yong died.

Uncle Lin may seem timid sometimes,

but he's quite sincere.

He's excluded.

And Doudou.

Although she wouldn't tell us who she was,

she never did anything to us.

You analyzed everyone, except for me.

Still suspecting me?

Thank you.

I know that you made the video to reveal the truth.

That video.

Well, it's nothing.

Excuse me, the dorm will be locked. Go on dating tomorrow.

No, we're not…

Let's go. Sorry.

Sorry.

It doesn't matter if you are dating.

Time waits for no one.

See you around.

See you around.

Oh right, it's your turn to answer

the same question.

Haven't you suspected me?

If you were up to something,

I would have died a million times in the game.

See you around.

Okay.

[Jianghua College]

I've never doubted you since that moment.

It will smile for you.

Thirty lamb skewers. A dozen beers.

- Alright. - Hurry.

Okay.

Come on.

Drink up.

- Drink up. - It's on me.

Bottoms up.

Let me.

Wait…

Drink up.

I can't drink more.

Sipping it?

Drink as much as I do.

Let's play.

I'm not good at your game.

You know this one?

Come on.

Come on.

Here we go.

Open up.

Black hole.

Drink up.

Here we go.

Drink up.

Let me see Doudou again!

Dying in the game puts the player in a coma in reality.

Don't be surprised.

With the current brain-computer interface technology,

once you're implanted with a chip,

anything is possible.

Chun Yu, I'm sorry.

The game has been triggered.

Please select a player to enter the coffin.

Whoever enters the coffin will become the priest and complete

the worshipping ritual.
