Once they reached a consensus, the group was finally released from the 22nd floor. Their deal with Zhou Mei was simple: they had to find a certain man for her. When she handed them a photograph, the group was stunned into speechlessness. It was identical to the one they had found on their phone.
Finding this man was Zhou Mei’s only demand. Since their original plan after leaving the training center was to head straight to the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department to track him down, their objectives happened to align. However, when they asked Zhou Mei why she was looking for this man and who he was, she evaded the questions. "That’s none of your business. Just do as I say."

As Jiang Younian, Kong Que, and the others removed their prosthetic bellies, they discovered that the skin where the adhesive had been for several days was inflamed and red. They couldn't help but sigh; it had been a bizarre and exhausting masquerade. Seeing his true reflection in the mirror once more, Jiang Younian felt a moment of disorientation. It felt strange to be back in his own skin.
