Episode 28 recap: The self-destruct program on the 19th floor is activated.
Gao Xuan told Chun Yu that no matter what she becomes in the future, he will love her and always be by her side. Chun Yu discovered a mark and quickly called her father. When Chun Ming arrived and took a look, he realized that Yan Ming had reconfigured the hidden door during the game architecture split, and the character "雨" (rain) had been split into different parts.
At that moment, Yang Minglu rushed into the game, and Chun Ming asked Gao Xuan and Chun Yu to leave quickly. The consciousness of everyone was being controlled by Yan Mingliang. It turned out that Yan Mingliang had entered the equipment room and tied up the CEO. In the game, Chun Yu stood on the rooftop and tearfully told Gao Xuan that she was no longer the Chun Yu from her childhood and wanted to become her happy self. After saying that, Chun Yu jumped off the building to commit suicide.
Outside, the CEO watched the saddened Gao Xuan and hoped that Yan Mingliang would release everyone, as their daughter's situation had nothing to do with them. Gao Xuan held Chun Yu's body and apologized to her, but accidentally discovered that the wooden smiley face in his pocket had turned into a crying face. Gao Xuan immediately realized that they were still in the game and that it wasn't real.
Yan Mingliang was operating the controlling device, and the CEO damaged the display screen in order to save the children. Suddenly, Gao Xuan woke up and found that the masked person had been immobilized, while the others remained unconscious. Gao Xuan slowly got up and approached them, realizing that their expressions were filled with intense sorrow, immersed in a dreamlike state. Gao Xuan woke up Chun Yu, who looked at him in fear and then hugged him tightly. It turned out they were stuck in a nightmare loop, but fortunately, it was just a dream. Gao Xuan finally realized how wrong he was to try to change Chun Yu before, and now that he had regained her, he would no longer force her to do anything.
Yang Ba Wan woke up and stated that he would never argue with Xiao Qin again. Chun Ming discovered that the main gate was no longer functional, and the only passage left was the hidden door in the shape of the character "雨" (rain). Chun Yu unintentionally noticed a cross-shaped mark at the entrance and two points in the dungeon. It turned out that during the game architecture split, the character "雨" (rain) was split into multiple parts, and there was a vertical line in the control room. The others separated to search for other symbols.
Xu Wen Ya and Nian Su Lan were searching for symbols in the dungeon. Xu Wen Ya apologized to her senior sister, saying that if she had given a warning earlier, she wouldn't have been trapped in the game. However, Nian Su Lan didn't blame her and instead found it exciting, which led them to become friends. The group found some clues, but Zhang Tian Qiang and the others were still missing. Zhang Tian Qiang remembered that there was a component of the character "雨" (rain) in his prison cell, so he hurriedly went there with Hei Er.
The masked person slowly regained consciousness, while Yan Mingliang had already connected the power source from outside. Everyone woke up, and following Chun Yiming's instructions, he led the masked person to the dining hall. Chun Yiming manipulated the mist in the equipment room, causing the masked person to become dizzy. Once all the components of the character "雨" (rain) were found, they waited for Chun Yiming's instructions. As long as they simultaneously pressed the symbols, a secret door would appear. When they pressed them, the complete character "雨" (rain) appeared on a door, and they walked towards it. The door slowly opened, and they walked out. However, Yan Mingliang, outside the screen, didn't give up. He approached the CEO and told him that it was not yet time to be happy, and he directly knocked out the CEO with an iron rod.
Chun Yiming arrived at the research lab and said that they could all leave if he entered the code. However, he asked them to leave first and said that he would self-destruct the game. Zhang Tian Qiang and his three brothers left first, saying they would meet outside. Then, Nian Su Lan, Yang Ba Wan, Dou Dou, and others left. At this moment, Chun Yiming noticed Yan Mingliang entering the room. Gao Xuan didn't inform Chun Yu and directly pushed her out of the game.
Chun Yu returned to the real world and rescued the CEO. Gao Xuan and Chun Yiming waited for Yan Mingliang's arrival inside the game. Chun Yiming knew that this was the culmination of his life's work and didn't want Yan Mingliang to be used as a tool for revenge. He proposed to Yan Mingliang that they transform the 19th floor into a positive and uplifting game. He was willing to help him and even used Yan Mingliang's daughter as an excuse to buy time. The self-destruct program had already been activated. However, during their escape, Yan Mingliang stabbed Gao Xuan. Yan Mingliang hated that his plan had been ruined and was determined to kill Gao Xuan in the game. Gao Xuan was exhausted and told Yan Mingliang that he understood his hatred because he had failed to help his daughter. He understood the pain of losing loved ones, just as he carried the guilt of his father dying in front of him. Only by forgiving himself could he save the person he loved.
Gao Xuan tried hard to persuade Yan Mingliang, urging him to think about his daughter's expectations. At that moment, Yan Mingliang remembered his daughter's past wishes and willingly helped Gao Xuan towards the secret door. However, there was an explosion in the game, and Gao Xuan pushed Yan Mingliang out but fell into the sea of fire himself. Yan Mingliang wanted to save Gao Xuan, but his body slowly disappeared.
