[19th Floor]

[Episode 16]

This agreement is just a disclaimer clause.

But I am willing to negotiate with you.

Didn't expect that.

You guys can pull off such a move.

It's the first time I've encountered such a passive situation.

You have indeed impressed me.

Speak up, what exactly are your demands?

Quite simple, let Qing You and the others wake up

and let us quit the game.

To be honest, I don't like being threatened.

But things have come to this.

It seems that I have no need to let you continue the game.

Are you really the CEO of Tianji?

You can choose not to believe.

The choice is in your hands.

Why should we believe you?

You can choose not to believe.

The choice is in your hands.

Let me introduce myself, I am Yan Mingliang,

the founder of Tianji Science and Technology.

Why disguise yourself as an ordinary employee?

There are things

I prefer to do personally.

And I am accustomed

to observing test subjects up close.

Test? Are you treating us like guinea pigs?

Every scientific experiment

represents the progress of human pursuit of civilization.

From this point of view,

I prefer to call you

pioneers.

You've left people half-dead.

What kind of progress is that?

Progress comes at a cost.

Those are real lives.

I don't see the meaning of your experiment.

Don't you think

the game I created is truly fascinating?

Thrilling, perilous.

Everyone can experience a completely different life.

As long as you enter my game,

you can explore a magical new world.

This is a cross-era masterpiece.

A game for the brave.

This is

the brand-new world I want to create.

Everyone starts at the same starting line.

Only those who are brave enough

and smart enough

deserve of having more.

That's really a fallacy.

We're not here to argue with you.

No one has the right

to decide the fate of others.

You fail to see the significance of the experiment.

That's not surprising.

Not everyone has the patience to wait for tomorrow.

The truth is always in the hands of the few.

Fine.

As long as these toxic motivational quotes make you happy.

We just want to quit the game

and wake up our comatose friends.

Okay.

Come to remove the chips in two days.

At the same time, I'll release their consciousness.

Didn't expect it to be so easily solved.

Yan Mingliang isn't as terrible as imagined.

It seems that the agreement and video were useful after all.

Hello.

Hello.

I would like to ask

if you are still playing an NPC

at the haunted building level?

What?

Every time someone new comes in,

you would participate in the game at the haunted building level,

playing the first victim, right?

That might have been during the time at the R&D center.

I can't remember clearly anymore.

I forgot a lot due to illness these past few days.

Now, I no longer take care of the matters

of the R&D center.

Great, finally free.

The feeling of freedom is just so wonderful.

I still feel it went a bit too smoothly.

Mr. Gao, you're good in every way.

It's just that you're too cautious.

What's there to fear when we have the evidence in hand?

Alright, you two go back first.

Chun Yu and I have something to deal with.

Okay.

But, what do you two have to do?

What's it to you?

Okay, okay.

Then I'll be off. Have a good chat, and good luck.

Bye-bye.

What's the matter?

You heard me mention it just now.

I went to sign a contract at Microtech today.

I saw Yan Mingliang in Mr. Nian's group photo.

This indicates that their relationship is close.

Additionally, the research areas of Microtech

are computer science and brain-computer interface technology.

That is to say,

the business scopes of these two companies are quite close.

That's right.

This indicates there is some sort of connection between them.

Furthermore,

your father previously

was a senior engineer at Microtech.

These two companies have such a tight connection.

Don't you think it's a bit…?

Let's go.

Where to?

Chun Yiming's dormitory.

Mr. Yan,

will you really remove their chips when the time comes?

Didn't you say that when upgrading the system,

you discovered new issues?

Yes.

The data

of those players…

Besides,

we should also change the way we play.

Fighting and killing isn't very interesting.

Unlocked.

That's how you snuck into Tianji, right?

This is the dormitory

Microtech prepared for your dad, huh?

Chun Yu, has someone been in this room?

It's possible

that it's just messy.

Well, let's look for some clues first.

Where exactly are you?

Let's go.

We can't find anything here.

We'll think of something else.

Let's go.

You as a child?

You used to smile more than now.

Take it.

What?

Live streaming to find a job?

Don't be so nervous.

It's not as formal as you imagine.

It's just an opportunity for third-year interns

to showcase themselves.

My seniors,

you know

the live streaming competition is so fierce now.

If the content is uninteresting to others,

people will just unfollow.

We're all from the same college.

You won't even help out with this little favor.

Wenya,

I was the one who took you in when you first arrived at the college.

I've always treated you well since then.

Can you do me a favor?

Well, how about this?

You do something related to gourmet food.

I will definitely cooperate fully.

Okay.

We'll think about it some more.

Well,

I have to start the live streaming.

I'll be off first.

What is she acting so cocky for?

You do have a good temper.

It was you who confidently assured everyone.

Everyone is waiting, you know.

Think about how

to explain it to everyone.

Nan Xiaoqin, is that really necessary?

Eating is my only talent.

It's exactly you that I guard against.

A foodie who is shameless.

Here, I bought it for you.

Is it poisoned?

Come on.

Don't refuse what's free.

I need to ask you for a favor.

I knew it wasn't anything good.

Last time it was all thanks to you.

You're the only one who can help me with this.

It's about Doudou again?

Nan Xiaoqin, what did I say?

You are my train of thought.

To the point.

The game I told you about last time,

I won't be playing it anymore these days.

Have you found a way to quit the game?

You know it?

I, I guessed it.

Didn't you just say

I was your train of thought?

That game is so dangerous.

It's a good thing that you're not playing it anymore.

That's true.

But if I don't play that game,

- I… - Won't be able to see Doudou anymore.

But compared to whether I see her or not,

what worries me more is

whether she knows the dangers of this game.

I want to take her with me to quit the game.

But I don't know who she is in real life.

Then you should look for her in reality.

You say it lightly, but in a vast sea of people, how would I find her?

In that game,

is there a big difference

between your image in the game and in real life?

Anyway, how I look in reality

is just what I look like in the game.

Chun Yu and Gao Xuan are the same.

Chun Yu and Gao Xuan also play it?

I think there's a very good chance that Doudou is from our college.

Right.

There are also Xu Wenya, Qing You, and many others who are our classmates.

Then that's simple.

I remember you told me last time

that Doudou had a good figure, was physically strong,

and knew martial arts.

The average person does not meet this standard.

It is likely that only the girls from the sports department…

Where are you going?

Nan Xiaoqin, you're not my train of thought.

You are my brain.

Come on, all these are yours.

Take your time eating.

Sir, do you know Doudou?

- Nice shot! - Doudou.

Do you know Doudou?

- Miss, do you know Doudou? - No, I don't.

Sorry about that.

Doudou.

Do you know Doudou?

Miss.

Doudou. Do you know…?

If Xu Wenya doesn't participate, can you blame me?

Alright, I have things to do. Let's talk later.

Sorry, sorry.

Sorry, I'm in a rush.

Such a bad fall.

Forget it.

Just as well, I didn't feel like answering the phone.

No, no, it won't do. I must, I must compensate.

Well,

such a bad fall, probably I have to compensate 500.

800.

Give me a call.

Call me to check if the phone still works.

I'm sorry, really sorry.

[Sister]

My brother, what's up again?

Aren't you the famous internet celebrity Xu Wenya?

[Future Technology]

Let's meet and talk.

Okay.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Meet for what? I don't want to see you.

You did your best.

Doudou will be very touched.

Nan Xiaoqin,

stop making fun of me.

She will definitely know.

You believe me.

I clearly know you're just comforting me.

But for some reason,

I feel like what you're saying is true.

Cellphone.

It's my younger sister.

Xiaoqin, here's a guitar piece I just learned.

I hope your leg heals quickly.

♪ Baby, please don't cry ♪

♪ Imagine the stars twinkling ♪

♪ The distant light shines through the path ♪

♪ If you see warmth and brightness ♪

♪ Softness comes from it ♪

♪ You should bravely search for it ♪

♪ Sweetness blends with a tinge of bitterness ♪

Doudou.

♪ A period of waiting welcomes a series of footsteps ♪

♪ There are tears in the unfolding smiles ♪

Oh no.

You are Doudou!

You are Doudou.

You regret it?

No, no, no.

Didn't expect Doudou to be disabled, huh?

You, you're Doudou, why didn't you tell me?

Well,

Chun Yu and the others all know who you are?

You know about the chip?

Isn't that nonsense?

Well,

will you remove the chip?

If I remove it,

where would you go to find your goddess?

No, no, no.

Doudou, Doudou, I, I, I didn't mean that.

Well, you…

Disability, disability is also quite good.

No, no, no.

No need to say it, I understand.

Doudou, Doudou.

Slow down.

Doudou, Doudou, I didn't mean that.

Doudou.

You are here.

Looking for me for something?

I am still thinking

about removing the chip.

Yan Mingliang agreed a little too easily.

So you worry Yan Mingliang has a scheme?

Yes, besides,

removing the chip for our bodies…

Wenya, it is really not what you think.

I didn't mean to.

Xu Wenya?

Wenya, listen to my explanation, Wenya.

Don't follow me anymore.

Do you know how long I have worked hard?

It's all your fault.

What's the situation?

Encountering an obsessed fan?

I probably know what the situation is.

Sorry.

I know you like to eat fruits.

I just passed by the fruit store.

Who is going to eat these?

I don't like these.

What do I like?

Cherries.

Musang King durian.

Don't you know?

I know, next time I will definitely buy them for you.

- Next time I… - No need for you to buy them for me.

Haven't you caused me enough trouble?

Don't come to me anymore.

Without me,

you could live better, right?

Her brother doesn't seem to be in a good state.

Let's follow and see.

Okay.

Xu Wenwu,

you think your family owns this company or what?

You begged and pleaded

for me to transfer you here and now you want to move again.

Walking around here

will cause trouble

for someone who is important to me.

Don't follow me anymore.

I don't want to see you again, get lost!

Don't come to me anymore.

What are you doing?

Calm down first, it's not worth it.

What?

We can talk it over if there's an issue.

Come to me first.

Who are you guys?

I don't know you.

Come.

Let go.

I won't let go.

I didn't want to die.

I didn't want to jump off the building.

You…

I just wanted to come up and shout to vent.

Who the hell are you two?

Are you really okay?

What could possibly be wrong?

Don't we still have to live our lives the same way?

Please

apologize to Wenya for me.

No matter what,

you two are siblings after all.

As long as she's fine, I don't care.

Besides,

someone has to protect her, right?

Well,

I really don't understand Xu Wenya.

I'm really quite envious of her.

Envious of what about her?

Envious that she's an internet celebrity?

Right.

Well,

are you leaving?

Something just fell.

I need to go look for it.

Where did it fall?

When I was scuffling with her brother on the rooftop,

it fell down.

It should be around here.

See,

you said you wanted to help others.

You've become a joke yourself.

Thanks for your useless help.

What is it?

It's just a smiley face stamp.

Made of wood.

Do you remember?

No.

That was given to me by someone when I was a child.

It was also on the rooftop.

Given in childhood?

You've kept it with you all these years?

After all, that experience

is indeed hard to forget.

Then hurry up and search.

If we can't find it, just forget it. Let's go for now.

Chun Yu, I'm leaving.

Are you going on a trip?

I'm moving to my mom's new place.

Will you still come to visit me often?

It's in another city.

It's very far.

Okay, goodbye.

Let's go,

Lei.

Lei.

Lei, please don't go.

Just stay here, I won't let you go.

I promise you, Chun Yu,

I will definitely come back.

You can't lie to me.

I will do as I say.

Tianji has agreed to help us remove the chips.

But will removing the chip

awaken everyone in the game?

The human brain is too complex.

Anything could happen.

Remember, do not easily trust Tianji.

Start.

He's moving, he's moving!

Mr. Qiang is responding!

What are you doing?

You all saw it.

The consciousness retransmission device

can awaken your friends.

But after all, this is a trade.

It's okay, proceed with the surgery first.

I believe everything will be normal after the surgery.

You will keep your promise

and delete them.

Let's begin.

Take them inside.

Wait a moment.

Chun Yu, come with me.

Do you have any concerns?

I just can't bring myself to believe

Yan Mingliang would let us quit the game so easily?

Besides,

the person we met here the day before yesterday,

don't you think he was acting abnormally?

I would like to ask

if you are still playing an NPC

at the haunted building level?

I can't remember clearly anymore.

I've been transferred to the procurement department recently.

I no longer deal with matters at the R&D center.

Yes.

It seems like he has forgotten everything

in the game.

In case…

I mean, just in case

he lost all his memories

because he removed the chip,

what should we do then?

But we don't have any other choice right now.

Chun Yu,

actually, the most important thing is

I don't want to forget everything that has happened during this time,

especially the bits and pieces with you.

Even if it's just a minute or a second,

I don't want to forget it.

Lei,

what book are you holding?

The Magical Password.

Password? Can you teach me?

- Come here. - Dad.

- Don't hit me anymore. - You run.

Dad, I know I was wrong.

- You run. - Dad.

You brought this on yourself.

Undutiful, get lost!

Don't come back!

Lei,

it's time for dinner.

Chun Yu, what's wrong with you?

Lu Bei has lost her memory.

She even forgot her best friend, Sherry.

I won't forget.

I won't forget.

Lei,

hello there.

You found it.

So, rest assured.

With it around,

I will definitely not forget you.

Everyone,

this time, after closing your eyes, you won't have nightmares.

From what you're saying,

after we finish,

we have to celebrate for three days and nights?

I don't have time to celebrate for three days and nights.

There's someone very, very important to me

waiting for me to fight for.

Once I've recovered,

the first thing

is to find a boyfriend who won't despise me.

Me. I wouldn't despise you.

What's that got to do with you?

I just think

it's enough to live well with my wife and children.

What about you, Chun Yu?

We are about to start.

Come on, come on.

Qing You, Yong, Mr. Qiang, Hei Er,

no need to thank us too much.
