Episode 6 recap: Qing You began to develop hostility towards Chun Yu.
When Chun Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself not in Building 19 but in a deserted village nestled in the mountains. Chun Yu mentioned that the cloth strip he saw in Building 19 belonged to a man. At this point, Qing You and Gao Xuan discussed the possibility of having implanted chips, but since Gao Xuan hadn't been hospitalized, the likelihood of having a chip implanted was low. They both also thought about the VR headsets they had brought on the first day of school. If their guess was correct, Yang Ba Wan should also be present there. Lao Lin and Zhang Tian Qiang approached from a distance. Zhang Tian Qiang knew the truth about the situation but didn't tell them, considering A Yong's safety.
Yang Ba Wan, wearing a straw raincoat, appeared behind them and mistook them for fellow players in the game. He claimed to have special abilities and expressed his desire to join the team. Gao Xuan, noticing his excitement, warned him not to wander around, as the game was not that simple. At that moment, they heard the sound of a clock, and Yang Ba Wan claimed to be familiar with the place. He led them to an attic filled with coffins. Yang Ba Wan was about to touch them when Gao Xuan and Zhang Wan Qiang strongly prevented him from doing so.
Chun Yu was too focused on investigating the truth and neglected to take care of Qing You, who felt a bit neglected. Qing You and Lao Lin lifted a curtain and discovered seven handprints underneath, matching their sizes. Each person pressed their corresponding handprint, and the door instantly closed. The candles inside the room ignited on their own, and a black mass turned into a woman. Yang Ba Wan, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, mistook her for a mannequin.
The rules of this game were to choose one person to enter the coffin. A coffin hanging from the ceiling descended slowly and opened by itself. As a candle burned down, Zhang Tian Qiang suggested that the weaker person should enter the coffin while the others stayed outside to resist. Chun Yu looked at Qing You, but she didn't want to go inside. Everyone expressed their advantages and reasons for not entering. When the candle was about to extinguish, a ghost lunged at Qing You. In order to save her, Chun Yu pushed her directly into the coffin.
Unaware of the truth, Qing You couldn't hear the voices outside and only heard a ghostly voice telling her that she had been abandoned by her friends. The malevolent spirit appeared, and Gao Xuan tried to stab it with a spear but realized it couldn't be killed. Everyone fought against the malevolent spirit and got injured. Finally, Uncle Lin leaped forward and killed the malevolent spirit. They discovered that the weak point of the spirit was its head.
Just as they solved one problem, more creatures jumped out from the coffins and lunged at them.
Chun Yu was choked and unable to move, but then a woman wielding a sword killed many malevolent spirits. Her martial arts skills fascinated Yang Ba Wan, and he asked for her name, which turned out to be Dou Dou. Qing You was devastated inside the coffin, filled with hatred towards Chun Yu. The coffin opened, and when she looked at Chun Yu, her eyes were filled with resentment.
Gao Xuan woke up early and found Chun Yu lying next to her, captivated by his appearance. When Chun Yu woke up and noticed Gao Xuan staring at him, Gao Xuan awkwardly poured water for him. At that moment, both of them received an invitation from Tianji Technology to participate in a signing event on the 19th floor. Chun Yu decided to go, even if it was a trap, because he wanted to uncover the truth.
Qing You woke up and sat by the bed, feeling heartbroken. Xiao Qin, seeing Chun Yu absent all night, asked Qing You to call him. However, instead of Chun Yu, she received a call from Dr. Jia. Yang Ba Wan woke up and realized he was still wearing the VR headset. Remembering the scene where he shook hands with Dou Dou last night, he felt like he was in love.
Zhang Tian Qiang woke up and found himself sleeping with a toilet. He stood up, feeling sore all over, and washed his face. A Yong was still unconscious, and he couldn't believe that A Yong had been in a coma because of this game. He was determined to seek revenge for A Yong and decided to attend Tianji Technology's invitation to get medical fees.
Qing You encountered Chun Yu and Gao Xuan at the hospital. They were investigating whether they had chips in their brains, but now they have ruled it out. Qing You felt like Chun Yu no longer needed her, and she felt very disappointed. Dr. Jia, on the surface, comforted Qing You but subtly mentioned that Chun Yu needed someone as strong as her, not someone who would hold her back.
Qing You recalled that in these games, Gao Xuan and she had been cooperating and overcoming challenges together, while she couldn't be of any help. It was true that she and Chun Yu were not on the same path.
After watching so many infinite stream dramas, I really understand Qing You. It's natural for someone who is new to a dangerous world to go through a process of growth. Characters like the male and female leads who enter and immediately engage in calm and composed fights are rare.
Qing You represents an ordinary person. It's perfectly normal for her to develop a dependency on those who protect and save her. The barrage comments really lower the intellectual level. If there are strong characters, let them be strong.
If there are supporting characters, let them be supporting characters. Don't create a contrast between Qing You and the female lead. It's just frustrating.
The second female lead's transformation into a villain is not unjustified. In the world of infinite stream dramas, it's rare to see a plot where the entire group chooses the weakest member to go on dangerous adventures.
Just because Qing You is a student and a law-abiding citizen, does that mean she has no right to survive if she's weak? It's one thing for the supporting characters to push her aside, but even the male and female leads didn't object, and they didn't even mention that the coffin was meant to protect her.
Qing You is at least capable of doing things; she's just scared and not a burden. It's actually those who like to cause trouble and create conflicts that are the biggest taboo in infinite stream dramas!
