Synopsis
As soon as Chi Yu opened his eyes, he was bound to the man next to him named Ning Zhiheng, who shared a "life bar" with him. He was staggered by the ghost train in the dungeon, and Ning Zhiheng instantly frowned and covered his stomach; he scratched some skin, and blood oozed from the opponent's wrist simultaneously. From the sobbing car in 1920 to the cold code wall of the AI prison of the future, Chiyu will flash back a fragment of each "obsession of others" every time: it is the unspoken "I like you" on the rooftop of the high school, the cuff of the white shirt that was not caught in the alley on a rainy night, the harsh brake sound when running towards the intersection to hand over a love letter... Until the manager of the corridor revealed the truth: this ruined place was caused by their obsessions - one wanted to "meet again" and the other wanted to "say sorry". Ning Zhiheng held his hot wrist, and the shared life bar was dazzlingly bright between the two of them: "Choose, stay here as a phantom of eternal perfection, or return to reality and take a gamble to change your regrets?" On the day he was dragged into the corridor, Chi Yu had only two thoughts: first, that he had an obsession that he could not remember; second, that the man next to him named Ning Zhiheng had a "life and death" relationship with him. When breaking into the ghost train dungeon, the luggage on the roof of the car fell down. Ning Zhiheng rushed to protect him first, and the two of them bent down in pain. Trapped in the virtual layer of the AI prison, the moment Ning Zhiheng broke through the firewall and broke in, Chi Yu finally saw clearly the person in the memory fragments - the person who was the top grader in high school who did not dare to approach, and the person who rushed across the road to help him pick up the love letter that was blown away by the wind. "I didn't mean to be late that day," Ning Zhiheng's blood mixed with his blood dripped down, his voice trembling, "I found the letter, but just turned around..." The dungeons in the corridor were all other people's regrets, but when the manager asked him to choose between "leaving the corridor to perfection" or "returning to reality and starting over", Chi Yu grabbed Ning Zhiheng's hand and said, "If you want to go back, I will find you first this time." Everyone who comes here has unresolved obsessions. Chiyu's obsession is "the unspoken words", while Ning Zhiheng's is the "unprotected person". The two are forcibly bound and share the life bar to complete the copy: in the ghost train, he read through the ink "I should have said I love you" on his late wife's suicide note, in the AI prison, he exposed the robot's "fear of being abandoned" disguise, and in the palace chess game, he understood that "admitting defeat is not a regret, it is the fulfillment of what was not said". With each level passed, the memory became clearer, until Chi Yu saw clearly: Ning Zhiheng was his secret crush who had been hiding for three years, and was the one who got into a car accident while trying to pick up his love letter; and this entire corridor was a "reunion scene" created by their obsessions - he wanted to see each other again, and he wanted to make amends. When the final choice was presented in front of him, Ning Zhiheng wiped away his tears and rubbed his fingertips against the life bars of the two of them beating simultaneously: "Don't choose fake perfection. Return to reality. Let's slowly make up for what we haven't said or done." Cowards suffer × cold external attack and internal hot attack Purpose: Love unlimited flow
