[19th Floor]

[Episode 14]

Mr. Qiang.

Bawan.

W-W-Why are you…

I thought it's all over.

You're alone down there.

I came here to save you.

Mr. Qiang.

Cut the crap.

We're brothers.

What about the others?

What about the others up there?

What about Doudou? Is Doudou okay?

Don't worry, they're safe up there.

Don't think about Doudou all day long.

Game: Run to the Finish Line.

Start.

So that's the finish line?

Let's go.

Is this level that simple?

Right. It's too simple.

The games before were so weird.

Maybe it's because

we've suffered too much before.

What happens when we fall?

Die. What?

Don't worry. I won't jump down myself.

Who knows.

Weird.

Yeah, the distance to the door seems unchanged.

Maybe we're walking too slowly.

Wait.

What is the game's name?

Run to the Finish Line.

We have to run, right?

Then let's run.

Sure.

Let's go.

Bawan, let me tell you.

I've been a pro at running.

Wait, wait, Mr. Qiang.

- Don't run so fast, wait for me. - Right.

We should run at the same pace.

Okay.

Why is the door still so far away?

Let's not worry about it. Just run.

Fine.

It seems the distance to the door doesn't change at all.

Let's try running faster.

Speed up.

Mr. Qiang.

Why do I feel the distance hasn't changed at all?

Let's keep running.

Wait.

Wait, Mr. Qiang.

What? Keep running.

- No, wait. - What?

No, we can't just keep running like this.

Mr. Qiang.

You take two more steps.

You walk towards me.

Come on.

- What do you mean? - Don't stop, keep going.

What do you mean?

Do you see it?

What?

Look at it.

Which means all we have to do

is to walk backwards.

Exactly.

Let's do it.

Wait, Mr. Qiang.

Why do I feel like

there's something wrong with this wall?

Wait.

Mr. Qiang, what's the matter?

Mr. Qiang.

Why do I feel the distance hasn't changed at all?

Let's not worry about it. Just run.

What do you mean?

So the real rule of the game is

that only one person runs backwards,

while another one doesn't move or runs forward,

so one can get to that door.

That means only one of us can pass.

Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang.

What's wrong? What are you thinking about?

What happened down there?

Is the game over?

It's been so long. Why isn't it over?

We can't just wait like this.

Let's see

if there's any mechanism.

Well.

Do people change?

Are you talking about Mr. Qiang?

But he went down to save Bawan.

But

facing life and death,

original intentions might change.

Mr. Qiang, what should we do?

Bawan.

What's wrong?

I know.

I wasted time up there,

so you got here.

Mr. Qiang, come on.

Don't mention it.

It's not your fault.

This time,

just consider it me repaying you.

Mr. Qiang.

Neither of us can get out of here with you following me like this.

Mr. Qiang, trust me. We definitely have a way

that can get both of us out.

Mr. Qiang, calm down.

Bro, you should run that way.

Let me be a hero for once.

Mr. Qiang, listen.

Mr. Qiang, calm down.

Back then, I did it to save Doudou.

I couldn't let Doudou get the bomb,

so I came down here,

it has nothing to do with you.

Let me catch my breath first.

No way, I really can't run anymore.

I'm really exhausted.

Mr. Qiang, I can't run anymore.

I really can't run anymore, Mr. Qiang.

No way.

Bro, I can't run anymore.

I really can't run anymore.

Let me rest for a while.

Just a while.

Mr. Qiang, I can't do it anymore.

Oh no, there's no time.

No, we can't hold on. What should we do?

What should we do?

I have already lost two brothers.

Mr. Qiang, do something. What should we do?

I can't lose another one.

Mr. Qiang.

What?

You brat, let me tell you.

If you follow me again, I'll kill you.

Wait, wait.

Mr. Qiang, what's wrong with you?

Mr. Qiang.

What's wrong?

Bro.

Do me a favor while you're out there.

I need you to check on Yong and Hei Er's grandma.

Okay?

Mr. Qiang, let me tell you.

You should do it yourself.

You are my brother.

Why don't you help me?

Wait, now you leave me here,

you're still not my big bro.

Big bro.

Big bro.

Big bro.

Big bro.

Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang, wait.

Mr. Qiang.

Stop there, Mr. Qiang.

I, Zhang Tianqiang, have always run away.

This time,

I still have to run.

Mr. Qiang, stop there.

Hurry up, Zhang Tianqiang.

Faster.

Mr. Qiang, no!

Mr. Qiang, no!

Mr. Qiang.

No!

Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang.

Mr. Qiang.

Bawan, come out.

It's okay now, Bawan.

It's not your fault.

Q-Q-Qiang…

Mr. Qiang…

Congratulations.

You've passed the Part One of the World of Joy

of 19th Floor.

I won't die.

I haven't helped you get Doudou yet.

Bawan.

Bawan.

Bawan.

Stop overthinking. It's not your fault.

Now even Mr. Qiang is in a coma.

When will

this game ever end?

Bawan.

Just let him go.

Leave him alone.

As for Xu Wenya,

how should we explain it to her?

Mr. Qiang is now in the hospital.

People who die in the game

will go into a coma in real life.

So,

to save them,

we must enter the game

and pass.

Is there any way to avoid entering the game?

If they ask you to sign a contract

as a game player,

better not sign it.

Can I get out of all these this way?

Wait.

How can reality and games be related?

Why has this happened to me?

Chun Yu.

A-Are you kidding me?

I know.

Before,

I was a bit mean

and not very nice to you,

so you might not like me.

But let's not joke about this, okay?

Why don't you say something?

Can you tell me the truth?

I am telling the truth.

What should I do?

Chun Yu.

You will protect me, right?

I'll figure it out.

Removing the chips requires a special pulse device.

Go check at Tianji Science and Technology's equipment division.

This software can copy Tianji's key card.

Why do you know so much about 19th Floor?

Are you from Tianji?

No.

You're keeping quiet, are you meditating?

Well.

Let me tell you,

that guy…

Qiang…

I've paid back all his money.

Don't cry.

You loser.

Yes.

I am a loser,

just a burden to my friends.

Take this.

Do you know your Uncle Zhang?

Car accident.

That day,

I was supposed to be driving.

He was covering my shift,

driving tired, so he…

After he became paralyzed,

for many years,

I have lived in guilt.

But… But living in guilt

didn't make me relieved,

nor did it help him stand up again,

instead, it made harder and harder

for me and him to live.

All these years,

I've been supporting his family.

But I know,

it's wrong to not pay back the money.

There's no excuse.

I was wrong.

Also, let me tell you.

Making apology

is not something great,

but solving the problem you apologized for

is the real great.

No, Dad…

Alright.

Kid,

there are no cowards in our Yang family.

Didn't you say yesterday to go to the hospital today to see Mr. Qiang and Qing You?

Where are you?

Dad, I'm going back to school.

Finish your meal before you go. I'm almost done here.

No, no, no. Dad, I'm getting late.

Then hurry up and get out.

Now!

Now get going,

- I'm leaving, Dad. - Hurry up.

Right, Dad.

Thank you.

Thank…

Thank you?

Disgusting.

May I know

where the patient who was staying here went?

Probably got transferred, I'm not sure. Ask the nurse.

Chun Yu, Mr. Qiang is missing.

- Where does he go? - I have no idea.

So is Qing You.

Nurse, excuse me.

Where are Qing You from Room 4

and Zhang Tianqiang from Room 3?

I'll check for you.

Qing You, Room 4.

Their conditions are special.

They have been transferred to the ICU.

The ICU?

W-Where is it?

Only family members of patients

are allowed to visit in the ICU.

Are you two family members?

No.

But we are very good friends.

Friends won't do.

You have to

be the patient's direct relatives.

It's the policy of our hospital.

No, doctor, we really are their good friends.

Could you…

Sorry, no way.

The person who met Dr. Jia in the bathhouse today,

I felt I met him somewhere before.

On the back of his right hand.

there was a very noticeable mole.

Doctor, please.

Alright.

The hospital has its policy.

Let's not cause any trouble.

Thank you.

Let's go.

That's the situation.

That doctor doesn't look right.

Maybe we should tell Gao now.

He's in class. Let's not bother him now.

What should we do?

How about we keep an eye on Director Chen first?

We've kept an eye on Dr. Jia before,

and it didn't work very well.

Besides, they've noticed us now,

would surely be more alert.

Then what do you suggest?

We need to find the ICU first.

But didn't they say we're not relatives

and not allowed in the ICU?

Putting on these clothes makes me nervous.

If it weren't for Mr. Qiang,

I would never do this.

I don't see ICU here.

Bawan.

All four of them are here.

What do we do then? Chun Yu, how do we get them out?

Let's go.

I've taken a video of this.

How dare you!

Wait to be reprimanded later.

If you don't give us an explanation,

I'll upload the video to the internet right away.

Calm down, let's talk.

Talk about what?

Tianji.

That's all I know.

I'm also keeping an eye on those patients in the ICU.

When I saw you guys came in,

so I followed.

Where is Dr. Jia now?

I don't know either.

I can't reach him now.

You have to help us find the truth

and save our friends.

This might be our only chance.

I failed to size people up.

I will help you.

Today's video of the ward,

make sure you keep it well.

Use the evidence as an exchange.

This?

I'm afraid this is not enough.

We have to think of another way.

I heard from Jia,

Tianji took away your agreement.

Today's video

proves that players are unconscious.

And that agreement

proves that there is indeed a contractual relationship

between players and Tianji.

These two

form a complete chain of evidence.

[Yang Bawan]

Hello.

Hello. Gao, where are you?

I'm outside, what's wrong?

I wanted to let you know that we're about to take action.

Chun Yu told me not to tell you.

But I thought I'd tell you anyway.

Action? What is it?

Chun Yu and I have taken a video of Mr. Qiang and the others in a coma.

We are planning to figure out a way tonight

to get into Tianji and find

the agreement we signed back then.

So we have evidence

of Tianji's involvement in the conspiracy.

And then use this thing

to force them to awaken Mr. Qiang and Qing You,

and make us quit the game.

This is such a hasty action.

Why didn't you discuss it with me early?

Well, Chun Yu was afraid you won't agree,

so decided to act first.

Alright, Gao. I have to go.

Don't tell Chun Yu that I told you so.

I'm about to set off.

What's wrong?

- Let's go. - What are you doing?

What's going on?

The inspection is too strict.

It's okay, let's wait until night.

Climb through the window,

or crawl through the ventilation duct?

We're not filming a movie.

What should we do?

This place doesn't even seem

to have a back door.

What the hell?

They spent all the money to the security system.

What's wrong?

What do you want to do?

Rest assured.

We won't do anything to you.

You just need to rest here for a while.

Wait.

I-I don't know anything

Why are you capturing me?

What are you doing? Let me go.

Where are you taking me?

Get ready to greet them

and play along with them.

Yes.

This is the latest VR equipment

of Tianji Science and Technology.

How thrilling!

Manager.

I just wanted to ask you

if there any discounts for the friends

who placed orders in my livestreaming today.

What?

Yes.

20% off.

Oh my, did you hear that?

Those who placed an order in my livestreaming today

can enjoy 20% discount.

It's the manager's own word.

Now or never.

Right, manager, may I know,

apart from

the product experience center,

is there anywhere else interesting

in your company

that you could show us around?

Yes, this way please.

Refine the make-up.

Stop filming for now.

Water.

I want water.

Mr. Yan, as you ordered, they have come in.

Keep an eye on them.

Yes.

Chun Yu, you can't get away from me.

Everything you do

is under my control.
