Episode 17 recap: Everyone breaks through themselves and challenges the obstacles.
They woke up to find themselves brought back into the game again, and this time Xu Wen Ya's life was on the line. They had to rely on the speed of pedaling their bicycles to slow down the speed of the chainsaw. Their weaknesses were all collected by the device. Chun Yu, due to her mother's surgery, was once comforted by her mother, who lied that as long as she played with building blocks and didn't let them fall, her mother would survive. However, when the blocks fell, Chun Yu blamed herself for her mother's death, causing psychological trauma, and she never dared to play with building blocks again. But this time in the game, she had to stack the blocks to save someone.
Chun Yu and the others hoped that removing the chip could wake up Qing You and the others, but they never expected that Tianji Corporation took the opportunity to steal information from their brains and put them into an even more exciting game. When Chun Yu woke up, she realized they were brought back into the game again and saw through the trick of being monitored in the game. She directly questioned Yan Ming Liang, asking why he deceived them.
It turned out that Yan Ming Liang was originally worried about losing data, but they voluntarily walked into the trap. Yan Ming Liang explained that this time they had to complete this level of the game, otherwise Xu Wen Ya would die from the chainsaw. The nearby bicycle was the only tool to save Xu Wen Ya, and they had to pedal it fast.
The button in Xu Wen Ya's hand was for detonating the bicycle, which could make the chainsaw stop. Gao Xuan was trapped in a glass room, and his hands were locked. If Chun Yu successfully extracted the required number of blocks without collapsing, Gao Xuan would not drown. Similarly, the button in Gao Xuan's hand could detonate the person playing with the blocks, and he would be saved. However, Gao Xuan threw away the button, fully trusting Chun Yu.
Yan Ming Liang doubled the number of blocks, adding more pressure to Chun Yu and Lao Lin. If they collapsed, Gao Xuan would slowly drown. On the other side, Dou Dou and Yang Ba Wan pedaled their bicycles desperately, watching the chainsaw slowly descending. Xu Wen Ya instructed them to maintain a consistent rhythm, and then the chainsaw followed their consistent pedaling rhythm and increased in speed, slowly rising.
While Chun Yu was extracting the blocks, she used her brain to smoothly remove one. As long as she extracted one more block, they would win. Just as Chun Yu was about to extract the last block, suddenly scenes of her mother's death during surgery and the deaths of her friends played in the game. Fear and nervousness filled her heart, and her mental defenses were breached, causing Chun Yu to make the blocks collapse when she tried to extract the last one.
The first round ended in failure, and the glass room instantly started filling with water.
As Dou Dou continued pedaling the bicycle, she saw herself in a fencing competition. It was her last match, the one where she injured her leg and never recovered. Her mental defenses were shattered, believing that her leg was crippled and she couldn't pedal the bicycle, just like during her rehabilitation training when her leg was completely unresponsive.
Her mother also gave up on her during that time. Dou Dou collapsed in the game, shouting that her leg was about to break. Xu Wen Ya saw the chainsaw reaching the top, preparing to detonate the bomb. On the other side, Chun Yu failed to extract the blocks again, and the water had reached Gao Xuan's chest. Chun Yu collected her thoughts and attempted to extract the blocks once more, but the pressure in her mind became overwhelming, causing the blocks to collapse at a single touch.
She couldn't stop thinking about Qing You sacrificing himself to protect her before his death, while Xiao Qin suddenly saw her mother's mockery. Xiao Qin, in order to prove to her mother that her leg was fine and she could still fence, was on the verge of losing her willpower when Yang Ba Wan came to her and encouraged her. In the end, Dou Dou regained her willpower and saved Xu Wen Ya in sync with Yang Ba Wan.
Gao Xuan kept cheering for Chun Yu from the water chamber, and Lao Lin also believed that Chun Yu could do it. She adjusted her thoughts once again, calmly extracting the blocks in front of her. On the other side, Xu Wen Ya also threw away the detonator, entrusting her life entirely to Dou Dou and Yang Ba Wan. The game ended, Xu Wen Ya's handcuffs were released, and the three of them sat down exhausted on the ground, their friendship strengthened through this experience.
Meanwhile, Chun Yu and Lao Lin carefully extracted the blocks. By this time, the water in the chamber had reached Gao Xuan's chin. Chun Yu used her brain to visualize multiple blocks being extracted, and with the final block removed, they passed the block challenge. However, the water didn't recede. Gao Xuan was in agony, struggling inside. At this moment, Yan Ming Liang stated that although they passed the block challenge, the water chamber and the blocks were not related at all. Yang Ba Wan and Dou Dou rushed over, trying to save Gao Xuan by smashing the chamber, but they couldn't budge it, only able to helplessly watch Gao Xuan drown inside.
