Episode 20 recap: Chun Yu suspected Lao Lin's identity.
The game resumed, and Chun Yu decided to go first. However, Lao Lin advised her to think twice. Unexpectedly, the two of them were locked in a cage and asked about the person they hated the most. Chun Yu thought of her father, and both of them were pushed down below. The next secret of Gao Xuan was exposed by the robot, who revealed that he knew everything about the game but kept it hidden from his friends.
Nian Su Lan did not honestly express her dislike for Chun Yu in the game. The others urged her to tell the truth, but she didn't believe in the danger of the game. Instantly, the game determined that she was lying, and she was shattered by an electric shock and disappeared. Chun Yu became angry with Yan Ming Liang, but Lao Lin pulled her back, resulting in both of them being trapped inside. When asked if the person they loved was related to themselves, Chun Yu and Lao Lin answered affirmatively.
When the third question asked about who they hated, Chun Yu and Lao Lin hesitated, and as a result, they fell into an underground passage. Lao Lin's old leg injury recurred due to the fall, and Chun Yu supported him as they continued forward. They discovered that the stones were glowing because of fluorescent powder applied to them. At a three-way junction, they chose one path to exit, but soon they noticed an invisible wire that shattered the stones and wooden stakes, injuring Chun Yu's hand in the process.
Gao Xuan continued the game, and the robot revealed that he knew the secrets of the 19th floor but didn't tell his friends. He admitted to keeping it hidden. Xu Wen Ya was asked if she was a selfish person and whether she wanted everyone else to die or herself to die. She initially didn't want her friends to die after spending so much time together, but in the last three seconds, she admitted to being afraid of death.
It was Doudou's turn, and Doudou admitted that Yang Ba Wan was timid and cowardly, but in the final three seconds, Doudou remained silent. Yang Ba Wan realized the rules of the game and deliberately cursed the robot on the screen, making the robot extremely angry. Meanwhile, Chun Yu and Lao Lin experienced a stronger earthquake in the underground passage. Luckily, Lao Lin pulled Chun Yu, and they continued supporting each other to move forward.
Chun Yu felt grateful to Uncle Lin and felt that he had experienced something similar to her own. Chun Yu was getting physically exhausted due to her injuries, so Lao Lin started telling her family's story to keep her from falling asleep. Yang Ba Wan's strategy temporarily defeated the robot, and he announced that from now on, no one would answer any more questions.
Gao Xuan noticed that the light at the door was not a lie detector, so he decided to question the robot. It turned out that the light was not a lie detector, and because of Doudou's third question, Xu Wen Ya voluntarily took her place to answer, proving that she was not afraid of death. The robot lied, and it had to notify everyone that they had completed the game and escaped on its own.
Lao Lin supported Chun Yu and arrived at the entrance of the sewer, only to find that the door was locked and Chun Yu had already passed out. Lao Lin looked at the password lock on the door, dismantled it skillfully, connected the wires inside proficiently, and entered the password. At the moment the door opened, Gao Xuan and the others happened to be at the door. Lao Lin lied and claimed that the door opened automatically for some unknown reason.
In reality, Chun Yu realized that Lao Lin was not ordinary but did not expose him on the spot. Back in the real world, Nian Su Lan was taken to the hospital, and Gao Xuan honestly told Chairman Nian that his daughter's coma was related to the 19th floor. From Chairman Nian's expression, it was evident that something was wrong. Gao Xuan suggested that his company's equipment could awaken his daughter, but Chairman Nian denied the existence of the 19th floor.
Yang Ba Wan and Xu Wen Ya discussed the game at school. Xu Wen Ya felt guilty about Nian Su Lan's coma and regretted telling her about the game. Xiao Qin comforted her, saying that Nian Su Lan had her own motives for entering the game, and since they were all adults, they needed to continue playing to wake their friends up.
Xiao Qin privately told Yang Ba Wan that she didn't want to pursue romantic relationships at the moment because of her friend's coma. Yang Ba Wan understood and promised to spend more time with her to save their friends. Lao Lin continued to serve meals in the cafeteria, and Chun Yu remembered his proficient skills in connecting the password lock in the game and thanked him for saving her. However, Lao Lin lied again, claiming that the door was not locked and that he had pushed it open.
Chun Yu realized he was lying and observed from a distance that he carried a small notebook with him. She planned to take a peek at his notebook when he went into the room, but the staff noticed her. Later, she sneaked into Lao Lin's dormitory and searched his computer. Chairman Nian approached Yan Ming Liang with a helmet, threatening him to release his daughter.
However, Yan Ming Liang was not afraid. He explained that the rules of the 19th floor were known to everyone and that Nian Su Lan had entered the game without authorization. He couldn't break the rules for her, but he assured Chairman Nian that his daughter would wake up in a while. While Chun Yu was deciphering Lao Lin's notebook password, Lao Lin slowly made his way towards the dormitory.
