Xu Tian, Wang Yangming, and Jia Xiaoduo entered a mysterious illusion together, where they were met with a thrilling rock-climbing challenge. During the climb, Jia Xiaoduo displayed extraordinary agility, moving swiftly and gracefully like a nimble monkey, quickly leaving Xu Tian and Wang Yangming behind. Watching the three of them climbing together, Wang Yangming suddenly felt a swirl of complex and confusing emotions. In his eyes, the scene faintly outlined a love triangle.

After some inner struggle, he gathered his courage and told Jia Xiaoduo that he wanted to sever the entangled relationship between them. He sincerely hoped Xu Tian and Jia Xiaoduo could be together. As the three climbed and chatted, they had no idea danger was creeping closer. They heard the cry of an eagle and grew frightened, only then realizing they were on a sheer cliff, so terrifying they didn’t dare look down.

Wang Yangming accidentally slipped and fell, and seeing that he might drag the other two down with him, Jia Xiaoduo acted quickly and decisively cut the rope. Wang Yangming instantly plummeted to the bottom of the cliff. Xu Tian gave his all, climbing with great effort through countless obstacles, and finally reached the mountaintop. But the scene before him left him in a panic—Jia Xiaoduo had vanished without a trace.

He looked around anxiously and then opened a door, only to find an elevator inside. He took the elevator down slowly, and when he reached the ground floor, he found Jia Xiaoduo already waiting there. The two walked out of the escape room together. Xu Tian couldn’t help but ask about Jia Xiaoduo’s ex-boyfriend. However, the surroundings began to change strangely—the place where he had talked to Wang Yangming vanished into thin air.

Jia Xiaoduo remained calm, claiming that only the two of them were playing the escape room, and that there was no third person. She even said Wang Yangming was just an NPC, and she gave an unclear explanation about the rope-cutting incident. Xu Tian was overwhelmed by the string of bizarre occurrences, his mind full of unsolvable mysteries. He couldn’t hold back and once again asked Jia Xiaoduo about their past.

But Jia Xiaoduo looked genuinely confused and firmly said that yesterday was the first time they had met—that it wasn’t the 19th time. Stranger still, the medical records on the train now had Xu Tian’s name on them. Sweating anxiously, Xu Tian clumsily tried to explain. Unexpectedly, Jia Xiaoduo leaned in and kissed him. Xu Tian was instantly flustered and at a loss for what to do. He then entered the neighborhood to look for someone, but everything felt dreamlike.

All the apartments looked the same—he seemed to be in a maze, unable to find any trace of Jia Xiaoduo. Xu Tian, troubled and bewildered by those surreal experiences, returned to the clinic in a hurry and, with a face full of confusion, found Dr. Shi Yiben. He urgently asked why he was experiencing these abnormal symptoms.

Shi Yiben, calm and composed, slowly explained that the side effect of entering the illusion was that it allowed him to glimpse his true self. Upon hearing this, Xu Tian felt like he was struck by lightning. It suddenly dawned on him that the people on the train—Yu Dan, Liu Tiaoer, and the others—were all different versions of himself, manifestations of obsessions deeply buried in his heart.

Shi Yiben showed Xu Tian his test data, and after reading it, Xu Tian was struck by how the events of the past few days blurred the line between reality and illusion. He even began to suspect he was living in a virtual world. Shi Yiben reminded him that if he couldn’t see the virtual self clearly, he might as well examine the real self—only by transcending himself could he understand every version of himself across all worlds.

Xu Tian’s mind was filled with images of Jia Xiaoduo in the virtual world—those experiences had completely captivated him. Even after understanding the strangeness of it all, he stubbornly wanted to reenter the virtual world, to return to the moment he first met Jia Xiaoduo. Shi Yiben, helpless and suspecting that Jia Xiaoduo might not even exist, had no choice but to activate the device. Whether they would meet again depended entirely on luck.

Xu Tian reentered the virtual world, and the scene before him changed abruptly. Jia Xiaoduo had become invisible—she couldn’t touch anything. She gazed at the falling rain with a sense of freedom, a smile spreading across her face. She picked up an umbrella and strolled into the rain. Just then, her phone rang—it was Xu Tian calling. As if meeting him for the first time, she got into his taxi.
