Episode 26 recap: Everyone arrived at the ultimate space.
They were locked into the game, and each person's room kept getting colder while they heard their loved ones denying them, fueling the hatred in their hearts. Zhang Tian Qiang also appeared in this game, with the constant sound of A Yong's pleading for help in his ears. The group was released and unexpectedly encountered Qing You, but he didn't recognize any of them. Due to breaking the rules, Chun Yu was placed in a separate secret room where he met his father.
The group entered the game again and returned to the 19th floor. The monster and shadow puppet were gone. When they went to the haunted house, there were no clay figurines, and the train and clown in the amusement park were also missing. Upon entering the underground passage again, they didn't find any bugs. They had lost everything they had before, like an abandoned old game, only left with an empty framework.
While escaping from a cave-in in the underground passage, Gao Xuan and Chun Yu got separated from Yang Ba Wan. The two of them returned to reality, and the Year Beast brought them to the back door of Tianji. Using his card, they sneaked into the control room while the security guards were away. Inside the equipment room, which was an operating console, they could enter the ultimate space.
When Chun Yu and Gao Xuan entered the ultimate space, they discovered a firefly. They were each locked in separate rooms that continued to cool down, and hurtful words echoed in their ears. Chun Yu struggled to control his mind and finally woke up. He heard the Morse code coming from next door, transmitted by Gao Xuan. They communicated and realized that the "mist" was causing them to have illusions. Suddenly, the door opened, and they all walked out, feeling nauseous. However, Qing You also walked out but couldn't hear or see them, as if his mind was being controlled.
Afterwards, many masked individuals arrived and led them to the dining area. Qing You moved forward slowly, and the others followed them into the restaurant. There, they saw Qiang Ge, A Yong, Nian Su Lan, but no one could hear or speak to each other, and they didn't look at each other. Chun Yu searched for Chun Yi Ming but couldn't find him. At that moment, Xu Wen Ya apologized to Nian Su Lan and, from her terrified words, Chun Yu discovered that Lin Shu was locked in the dungeon, and getting into a fight would result in being imprisoned. Chun Yu had no choice but to fight with Dou Dou and was subsequently locked in the dungeon. When mealtime arrived, everyone was locked back in their cells.
Chun Yu discovered her father's figure in the dungeon. At that moment, the mist was released again, and Chun Yu quickly cut her finger to keep herself awake. Gao Xuan entered the cell and found that the mist had been released early, so he took out a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose. Chun Yu saw her father waving at her, realizing that her father had also taken the opportunity to cut himself during the mist, a move they used when they were younger.
Gao Xuan climbed out of the ventilation shaft on the roof, unintentionally making noise that alerted the black-clad individuals. He was almost discovered but managed to find the equipment room through the ventilation shaft. He cut several wires, causing the monitoring personnel inside to mistake it for a malfunction. Taking advantage of their distraction, Gao Xuan knocked one of them unconscious. Gao Xuan activated the waking state, and everyone remembered various things from the past. Zhang Tian Qiang woke up at this moment and remembered everything.
On the other side, Qing You woke up, looking around in fear. Gao Xuan succeeded, and everyone woke up from the mist, but they still felt weak and couldn't open the door from the inside. The reason Chun Yi Ming came to the dungeon was that he was the one who designed the underlying architecture. When he created the game, he intentionally left a secret door and implanted a Trojan horse into it. Once the secret door was discovered, it could destroy the entire system. However, due to Yan Ming Liang's modifications to the architecture, he didn't know where the secret door had been moved. In order to find it, he went through 19 levels without success. The ultimate space was the only place he hadn't been, so he deliberately caused a disturbance and came to the dungeon. However, he still didn't find anything. Chun Yu searched her room for the hidden door engraved with the character "雨" (rain), but she didn't find anything in her surroundings.
Xiao Qin woke up and started pounding on the wall. Yang Ba Wan in the neighboring cell thought something had happened to Xiao Qin and began pounding on the wall as well. The noise alarmed the black-clad individuals, surprised that they had awakened. They saw that Xiao Qin in the adjacent cell had also woken up and speculated that something had happened in the control room. They immediately rushed to the control room. Meanwhile, Gao Xuan moved the unconscious staff member aside and discovered a door switch beneath him. He pressed it, and the cell doors of everyone opened.
