Under the gloomy sky, in the dead ghost town, at the entrance of Evil Spirit Building, which was like an unfinished building, on the first floor, Wang Zhifan looked at the big open door with not even a ghost in front of it. For the first time, he felt shocked and puzzled in his heart.

He stopped in place, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, trying to relieve the slight pain that had appeared in his head for some reason. At the same time, he thought about whether the experience of the past two or three hours was an illusion. Otherwise, why did he suddenly return to the door of Evil Spirit Building and suddenly return to the origin of this mission? "Brother, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"

At this time, on the left side of Wang Zhifan, the young man with dark circles looked at him with confusion, as if wondering why he suddenly stood still.

"What happened just now?"

Wang Zhifan turned his head and looked at him after hearing this, wanting to discuss with him why the three of them suddenly returned to the door of the building after the boss of the building was eliminated, and strangely gathered together with the two players who stayed below.

"What's going on? Nothing happened just now, right?"

Hearing Wang Zhifan's question, the young man with dark circles suddenly showed a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't understand what Wang Zhifan was saying at all.

"Are you sure nothing happened?"

Wang Zhifan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He stared at the gunner player. It was hard to believe that his companion who had fought all the way to the top of the building with him could ignore the earth-shaking changes just now.

"Little brother, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it more clearly. We are all adults. Any issues can be discussed."

The oily-faced middle-aged man on the other side saw that Wang Zhifan had a tendency to get angry, and immediately came over to explain, as if what Wang Zhifan said was made out of nothing.

"You..."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan felt that these people seemed very strange and were not on the same channel as him at all.

Then he realized something and unleashed his powerful perception with all his strength, trying to see if these people had been tricked by ghosts.

But it was a pity that no matter how he observed or sensed, he could not find the slightest flaw in these people. He even noticed a dust mark on the sleeve of the young man with dark circles. He remembered that it was rubbed on a wall by the other party when he was cleaning up ghosts on the tenth floor of the building because he was avoiding ghosts.

"Basketball?"

He then remembered the secret code he and his team had agreed upon before entering the building to clean up, and wanted to test whether they still remembered this set of incisions.

"Cock... Brother, didn't we exchange passwords just now?"

When the young man with dark circles saw Wang Zhifan suddenly looking at him and saying this word, he immediately replied helplessly. It could be seen from his expression that he didn't understand what Wang Zhifan was struggling with now.

"Yes, didn't we exchange passwords just now? My password is sneak attack, hers is 69, and hers is old comrade, little brother, is there any problem in this regard?"

The greasy-faced middle-aged man, who was also staring at Wang Zhifan with a puzzled expression, continued. He also pointed at the girl in sportswear and the cold-faced female gamer next to him who looked at someone suspiciously.

"You guys... we just finished cleaning up this building! And then suddenly we came back to this gate! Isn't this kind of thing strange enough?!"

At this point, Wang Zhifan finally understood how weird the situation was. He immediately shouted and asked, trying to wake up these companions who suddenly became stupid.

"Huh?"

"Ah?!"

"We haven't entered the building yet..."

"Are you hallucinating?"

For a moment, the four companions around him had some incomprehensible expressions on their faces when they heard what he said, completely unable to understand what he said.

"What an illusion! The dust on your sleeves was rubbed on the walls of the building on the tenth floor! Have you even forgotten this?! What the hell happened to you guys!"

Discovering that each of his companions seemed to have lost their memory and were unable to connect to the same channel with him, Wang Zhifan suddenly became a little angry. He immediately raised his hand and pointed at the young man with dark circles, pointing out the dust marks on his sleeves as evidence.

"Brother... the ash on my sleeves was caused by my accidental fall on the road just now. It has nothing to do with the building... Brother, are you too stressed and misremembered?"

Even though Wang Zhifan reminded him to this point, the young man with dark circles still couldn't believe what he just said, and even bizarrely told a memory that did not exist.

Because Wang Zhifan remembered that none of them had fallen on the way to Evil Spirit Building, and they couldn't fall casually. As a level 30 player, it's a joke to be unsteady when walking, not to mention that the dark-eyed young man is still a gunner who mainly focuses on agility! "You..."

Wang Zhifan suddenly had an unspeakable look on his face. He wanted to remind the other party how outrageous what he just said was, but he suddenly didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. He turned to look at the girl in sportswear standing aside and chose to say to her:

"The two of us went to clean up the first to sixth floors of this building together about three hours ago. You must still remember this, right?"

He stared at the companion who felt most reliable, hoping that she could give him a little hope.

"No! I don't remember what you said. I only know that if we continue to waste time at this door, this mission will not be completed!"

The girl in sportswear immediately responded to him impatiently, making him feel what despair meant.

"You..."

This series of extremely weird conversations caused Wang Zhifan's blood pressure to rise uncontrollably to a high point. His mentality was inevitably a bit broken, and he even began to wonder if there was something wrong with him, because none of the companions in front of him seemed to doubt their memories at all. He was the only one who was out of tune with them, and his head still hurt slightly.

In the awkward and slightly tense atmosphere, an oily-faced middle-aged man finally came over to stabilize the situation. He thought for a moment and said to Wang Zhifan, "Brother, in fact, in principle, the situation you just mentioned is not impossible. I heard someone on the forum say that there are files in the copy that can be repaired. A monster that changes the player's memory, but this kind of monster is generally very rare, but if what you just said is true, we have a way to identify it, that is, everyone goes into the building to investigate. As long as the ghosts in the building are eliminated as you said, we can naturally believe what you say."

The middle-aged player expressed his views in a calm and orderly tone, and it was clear from his expression that he was not fooling Wang Zhifan. He had indeed thought about it and taken what Wang Zhifan said into consideration, unlike several other players who thought Wang Zhifan was just talking nonsense.

"Modify memory... Okay, I kind of understand."

After the greasy-faced middle-aged man finished speaking, Wang Zhifan immediately felt inspired. He was originally so angry that these people had high blood pressure, but the other party's analysis gave him a little understanding of what happened just now. This made his somewhat out-of-control mentality quickly calm down, and he knew that confirming some things next was the top priority.

In this way, after five players argued at the door of Evil Spirit Building for a while, they unanimously entered together.

No one mentioned the rumored danger of this building Evil Spirit Building, and no one thought about sending only some players in and leaving others to assist outside. It was as if they all suddenly became brave Fearless, subconsciously ignoring the horror of this building and just thinking about everyone uniting to complete the task as soon as possible.

Soon, in the corridor on the first floor of the building, everyone discovered the first ghost. Specifically, it was a very ordinary evil spirit, and they worked together to quickly solve it.

"Little brother, you see that there are ghosts in this impossible-to-miss corridor. It is completely inconsistent with what you just said that we have cleaned up the building. So it turns out that you remembered it wrong. We did not encounter the situation you just said. But don't take it to heart. Sometimes people's memories will be confused when they are nervous. This is not a problem. The most important thing is for everyone to complete this task quickly."

As soon as he entered the building, he found a ghost inside. The oily-faced middle-aged man used this as a basis to refute Wang Zhifan's previous statement, making everyone sure that Wang Zhifan was going crazy just now, and gave him speechless looks.

However, Wang Zhifan behaved quite calmly at this time and was not as emotional as when he was at the door just now. He seemed to acquiesce to the other four people's views on him and did not make any arguments. He just walked in front and continued to clean up the ghosts inside the building with everyone.

But what no one else knew was that at this time, he was even more sure that his memory was correct, because the evil spirit that everyone had just killed was exactly the same as the one in his memory. It also appeared in the corridor, with the same external image, the same intensity of aura, and the same behavior pattern. It was completely the same as the first evil spirit in the building that he killed in his memory. It was as if the ghost had perfectly Resurrection come over in this corridor! "Other physical objects in this building have become the same as before. All the traces we left here before, including the slightest footprints, have disappeared, which means there may be some kind of Rewind mechanism in this place..."

At this moment, Wang Zhifan silently went down to the underground of the building to clean up the ghosts with others, while carefully observing all the details of this place. He remembered that he and the girl in sportswear left a lot of traces when they came to this place a few hours ago, such as pushing open the tables and chairs blocking the door, scratching the walls when attacking the ghosts, etc. But now those things are all gone, and all the environment has returned to the same as before, as if it was the first time they came to this underground.

But Wang Zhifan is becoming more and more aware that it cannot be the first time for him to come to this place. Otherwise, why would all the ghosts and objects in his memory match exactly what he sees now? He can't predict the future, right? "This Evil Spirit Building definitely has a very scary enemy. It is not as simple as it looks on the surface... It can reset everything inside, and it can also affect the player's memory... But why is my memory not affected, just a little headache... Is it because of my high attributes, or is it because of this?"

While cleaning up, Wang Zhifan has been thinking about the strangeness of this building Evil Spirit Building, and why there is a significant difference in memory between him and other players.

He judged that there might be two reasons for this result. One was his basic attributes, especially his mental attribute, which was very high with 111 points, which was far from what other players could compare to. This attribute advantage made it more difficult for external forces to influence him. The other was the Excellent Tier necklace he wore: Rog's Heritage.

Rog's Heritage He has been wearing this necklace for a long time. If the time in the copy is included, it may have been half a year. However, this thing has never had any sense of existence on him, but he knows one thing very well, that is, this necklace has a meaning called "only me" The effect is to allow him to maintain his independence of spirit and will. It will be almost impossible for outside forces to influence his spirit. Obviously, the modified memory will inevitably involve the aspect of spirit and will, so the Excellent Tier equipment that he can maintain his memory must be attributable to it.

While silently thinking and analyzing in his heart, Wang Zhifan did not neglect to clean up the ghosts in the building.

He knew that doing so was probably in vain, but considering that the goal of this copy was to complete this task, and this task required him to clean up all the evil in the building, it was still necessary for him to do this job, at least give it a try, maybe he could clear the level after cleaning it up the second time.

What's more, this time there are four players around him to help, and his workload is even smaller. With his inhuman physical strength, he doesn't care about exerting such effort.

About an hour and a half later, the five people appeared on the top floor of Evil Spirit Building and came to the door of the final BOSS's office. The only difference from the first time Wang Zhifan came here was the number of players.

"Before we deal with this BOSS, I have something to discuss with it."

Considering that this BOSS was suspected of being able to communicate, Wang Zhifan agreed with other players in advance that he would be the main force to kill the BOSS, but others should not rush to take action, he needed to communicate with it.

"No problem, little brother, you are the strongest among us, and we will try our best to cooperate with you."

The greasy-faced middle-aged man immediately agreed on behalf of the other players. The four of them could see the extraordinary strength displayed by Wang Zhifan along the way. They had already forgotten the trouble he caused at the door and only hoped to hold his lap and pass the level safely.

So under the arrangement of Wang Zhifan, he took the lead in pushing open the BOSS's door and met with it.

"Dear guests! Welcome! What do you think of my mansion? Is it a great masterpiece?"

Just like the first time, this evil old man in a suit and tie looked at him expectantly as soon as he saw him pushing the door open and said something boring.

"Yes! This building of yours is the greatest masterpiece! We love it here!"

With the first experience, Wang Zhifan will not go directly to take action this time, but chooses to agree with this evil spirit to see if he can successfully pass the level.

But what left him speechless was that this kind of compliment did not seem to lead to a good result, and the battle between the two sides still had to continue.

"Hahaha! Great! Since you like it here! Then stay here forever!"

After hearing this, the evil spirit of the old boss laughed and immediately rushed forward and attacked him.
