Episode 5 recap: Chun Yu met Gao Xuan in the real world.
Qing You and Chun Yu returned to school and looked at the haunted building. Qing You, scared, left, while Chun Yu gathered the courage to enter Building 19. The structure inside was identical to the dream, except it was covered in dust and spiderwebs. There were books about shadow puppetry on the table. At that moment, Gao Xuan also arrived at Building 19 to investigate. Chun Yu quickly hid as Gao Xuan measured the dimensions. Gao Xuan knew that Chun Yu was present and deliberately claimed that the structure here didn't match the blueprint. Later, Chun Yu followed Gao Xuan to the teaching building, intentionally hiding in a corner and waiting for Chun Yu to go upstairs. However, when someone approached, it turned out to be Nian Su Lan, who returned the books to him.
Qing You returned to the dormitory and found a package for herself. There was a welcome party tonight, and even with an injured leg, Xiao Qin wanted to attend. Qing You opened the package and found a VR headset inside. Chun Yu followed Gao Xuan to the cafeteria, and Yang Ba Wan noticed that Chun Yu was constantly staring at Gao Xuan, thinking that she had taken an interest in him.
The VR headset in Yang Ba Wan's hand caught Chun Yu's attention because she had tried it when she first entered the school, and VR was currently popular. Lao Lin, the cafeteria worker, specially served Chun Yu a full plate, but when it came to Yang Ba Wan's turn, her hand trembled.
Chun Yu followed Gao Xuan to the auditorium to attend the welcome party. Gao Xuan sat in the front row with the teachers. During the performance, Qing You confirmed Gao Xuan's identity. It was too coincidental that he appeared both in dreams and as their teacher. Yang Ba Wan found an empty seat and realized that Chun Yu was sitting behind her. Overwhelmed with excitement, she accidentally spilled water on Xiao Qin.
Xu Wen Ya performed a solo dance, and at that moment, Xiao Qin remembered her own fencing competition and left with sadness. While everyone was attentively watching the performance, Chun Yu observed Gao Xuan's every move and hurriedly followed him when he left. Worried, Qing You also followed, but both of them disappeared.
Gao Xuan noticed that Chun Yu was trailing him and deliberately walked slowly to prevent her from losing track. Yang Ba Wan followed Xiao Qin, hoping to exchange contact information with her. Xiao Qin was frightened by such enthusiasm and quickly entered the dormitory. Due to the lights not being on, she tripped over a stool, exacerbating the pain in her injured legs and depriving her of her beloved fencing.
The VR headset on Qing You's desk caught Xiao Qin's attention. Qing You went to the campus to find the stray cat she had been helping. She took out cat food and poured out her heart to it when a man in black stood behind her. Chun Yu followed Gao Xuan to the boys' dormitory and was discovered by him when she tried to sneak into his room while he was away.
Qing You turned around and was startled by Dr. Jia standing behind her, returning her misplaced student ID. It turns out that Dr. Jia also graduated from this school but transferred to the medical college after half a year. Dr. Jia deliberately asked about her friendship with Chun Yu, trying to sow discord between them. Gao Xuan invited Chun Yu into the room, and she was visibly cautious, observing her surroundings.
Gao Xuan handed her a glass of water, but she didn't drink it. Chun Yu knew she was lured here and asked about Building 19. Gao Xuan said that the dream they went to was indeed Building 19, and there must be traces of their presence there. No one could change the architectural structure, but they discovered that the place they went to was not actually Building 19.
He didn't know why they could enter while sleeping. A Yong remained unconscious, and Zhang Tian Qiang intended to contact Hei Er. He absentmindedly took out his phone, mistaking it for Hei Er's discarded old phone. Yang Ba Wan was playing with VR in the dormitory. Zhang Tian Qiang answered a call from Manager Chen in the restroom and discovered that the doctor was examining A Yong. He quietly closed the door and eavesdropped on their conversation.
The doctors discussed that it wasn't alcohol poisoning and decided to observe further. One of the doctors didn't leave but immediately called someone, mentioning suspicions about the coma occurring in the game. They wondered if they should move this person. Zhang Tian Qiang overheard all of these words, realizing that it was indeed related to the game. Chun Yu walked towards Gao Xuan's bedroom and discovered the blueprint of Building 19 and a VR headset. She was about to touch a small bird model on the shelf when Gao Xuan called her out.
Gao Xuan took out a piece of cloth he found in Building 19, which was the same cloth Chun Yu saw on the long-haired man at the entrance of Building 19. Gao Xuan, Chun Yu, and all the others received a message informing them that the game was about to begin. Chun Yu opened her eyes and found herself in a deserted village forest.
