"Are we really trapped?"
Finding that he could not transfer to the location of the clone in the outer city, Wang Zhifan suddenly realized that the current problem might be bigger than he thought. That is, not only was he stuck in the strategy mission, but they, the players, might also be blocked by Evil Spirit Building.
This feeling of being locked in a cage is naturally annoying, and Wang Zhifan is no exception. When he saw this, he immediately activated his wall-penetration skills and rushed out of the office on the top floor of the building. Then he jumped out from a window on the top floor, activated Demon Dragon War Armor's Wings of Fire skills in mid-air, and flew away from the building with his flaming wings like a fire dragon.
He wants to use practice to verify whether he can no longer escape this Evil Spirit Building!
And a few seconds later, the result was obvious.
"Why did I fly to Evil Spirit Building again? I was clearly staying away from it just now!"
Wang Zhifan, who was still relying on Wings of Fire to fly in the air, was surprised to find that before he had flown a hundred meters away, Evil Spirit Building that should have been behind him suddenly appeared in front of him, making him fly closer to it!
"A ghost can break through a wall? Or some other ability? I don't believe I can't escape!"
Encountering a plot that is common in classic ghost movies, Wang Zhifan immediately ignited the fighting spirit to fight against it. However, he is not completely stubborn, but he knows that he can crack this kind of ghost trick under his own conditions. The method is to rely entirely on his perception to act.
I saw that he suddenly closed his eyes, not letting the easily deceived senses of the visual organ guide his flight, but relying entirely on the powerful perception brought by his super high mental attributes to guide his actions. In this way, ordinary blindness methods would be difficult to affect him.
After closing his eyes, he first confirmed that the Evil Spirit Building in front of him was real, and then he fluttered the flame wings behind him and changed direction, letting himself fly away with his back to the building again. However, in the next few seconds, he once again encountered something very strange., that is, he sensed that the originally normal area in front of him suddenly changed. Evil Spirit Building, which should have been behind him, suddenly appeared in front of him, and he could also sense that four other players were looking at him at the door of this building! "No... this is not a deception at all... but the space around this building is connected. Once I go beyond a certain distance, I will appear on the other side of the building!"
After this test, Wang Zhifan finally understood that these players were really blocked around Evil Spirit Building and could not run far at all, and what was restricting them was quite advanced space means.
"It's so cruel... No wonder I can't transfer to the clone outside. It turns out that this building Evil Spirit Building is so powerful... The copy really spent enough money to deal with me this time..."
Knowing the truth, Wang Zhifan suddenly felt as if a big stone was weighing on his heart. He understood that if this mission could not be completed successfully, he might be trapped and die here. This could be said to be the most dangerous dungeon he had ever encountered. Even though the dungeon BOSS was not very strong, the overall configuration was quite high-end. Even if he wanted to brute force it, there was nothing he could do.
After trying several times to escape from the building without giving up, Wang Zhifan quickly gathered Wings of Fire behind him and fell to the ground, standing at the door of the building as the four players below watched.
"Brother! Your pair of flame wings are so cool! It must be equipment of Rare Tier or above!"
The young man with dark circles said excitedly when he saw him falling from the sky, his eyes focused on Wings of Fire who quickly disappeared behind Wang Zhifan.
"What were you doing just now? Are you investigating the surrounding situation?"
The greasy-faced middle-aged player's focus was on the purpose of Wang Zhifan's actions. He saw Wang Zhifan flying around in the sky and appearing in all directions around the building, so he suspected that he was investigating the surrounding situation of Evil Spirit Building.
"No, I was just testing whether I could escape from this building, but the result was not good. I found that we have been restricted to this place."
Wang Zhifan then replied, sharing what he discovered.
If it were a normal situation, someone would definitely become nervous immediately if he knew he was trapped in an area, and would involuntarily try to escape from the area that blocked him. However, the players in front of him didn't react much after hearing him tell this terrible thing.
"It's normal. As long as we clean up the building and complete the task, we will definitely be able to leave! And even if we can't leave, it's okay. We originally wanted to return to reality. It doesn't matter whether we are restricted here or not."
The dark-eyed young man waved his hands and didn't care about the bad situation proposed by Wang Zhifan, because he knew that no copy could limit the player's ability to return to reality.
"So, have you guys rested well? Finish your mission and go home!"
After hearing this, the cold-faced woman immediately mocked these arrogant companions.
"I'm almost rested and can enter the building at any time."
The sportswear female player immediately expressed her stance upon seeing this.
"Please wait a little longer, sharpening the knife will not delay the woodchopping."
The greasy-faced middle-aged man also responded quickly, saying that he hadn't had a good rest yet.
When these companions were discussing when to enter the building one by one, only Wang Zhifan said nothing. He looked at them quietly and felt helpless in his heart.
He knew very well that these players had actually cleaned up the building at least once, but the results were repeated again and again without knowing it, leaving him with no hope of completing the task. It was even difficult for him to speak clearly, because if he told the truth, they would think they were talking nonsense, which was a waste of his time and energy.
"I can't waste any more time cleaning up this building. I have to find a way to figure out the correct way to clear this dungeon. There is no future in just doing it recklessly."
Seeing that these people were unable to help him at all, Wang Zhifan decided not to cooperate with them. He had to study the secrets of this building more carefully.
But he didn't leave quietly. Instead, he notified the four companions in advance, telling them that he would go into the building to investigate first. After notifying them, he disappeared directly to avoid wasting energy on explaining.
"Haha... we seem to be disliked by some people..."
Seeing him running so fast, the cold-faced female player couldn't help but say something strange behind her back.
"It's okay. As long as the four of us unite as one, we can still clear this dungeon."
The oily-faced middle-aged man glanced at the position where Wang Zhifan had left thoughtfully, and spoke to Encouragement everyone.
In this way, after a while, the four players began to enter the building to clean up, and Wang Zhifan was another route of action.
He did not focus on cleaning up the ghosts in the building. He only took action to deal with them when the ghosts actively attacked him. His focus was on investigating other situations in the building in order to find a way to clear the level from some clues.
For example, when other players were cleaning up the underground, he had already appeared in the BOSS room on the top floor of the building, rummaging through boxes and cabinets in this place where the BOSS had long since dissipated, trying to find clues to the other party's origins.
However, reality is often not that simple. He soon discovered that this building may have been too old, or it may have been corrupted by evil forces. Basically, the documents he could find were in tatters and unreadable. Only three photos placed in the drawer of the BOSS room were barely legible.
The first photo is of a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a suit. He is standing in an open space with high spirits, waving his arms and pointing around to introduce something to people. Even though this is just an old snapshot, people can see the passion he speaks with.
The protagonist of the second photo is the same man, but he seems to have aged a lot, his hair has turned gray, and the place where he is standing has become a large construction site. There are many workers operating various machines on the construction site, and it seems that they are laying the foundation for the building.
The third photo shows the back of a bleak old man in a suit. He is standing in front of a tall unfinished building and looking up at the entire unfinished building. He seems to have become a lot more stooped.
"These three photos seem to be the key clues for completing this mission... The man inside is basically the old BOSS guy... The old man seems to be the designer and owner of this building... It can be seen that he is very affectionate for this building, and it is a pity that it is not completed... So it is inferred that the purpose of clearing this dungeon is to fulfill his wish? To help him build this building? This is too cheating..."
After carefully studying the three photos that were finally found for a while, Wang Zhifan came to this absurd conclusion. To clear this dungeon, you may have to help the BOSS evil spirit build the building! But the question is does he have this ability? Not to mention that he currently only has one person, and there are only five other players. He is not a civil engineering or architectural design major, and he doesn't understand this aspect at all! "Calm down... Calm down... Logically speaking, the dungeon will not have a mission that is completely impossible to clear... Even building the building itself can be completed in theory... If I can find the design book, maybe I can really build a makeshift version of the building..."
After stabilizing his mind, Wang Zhifan quickly thought of a potentially useful solution. Maybe if he figured it out, he could fool him into completing this task.
So he then concentrated on searching for things related to building design in this office, preparing to establish the basic conditions for completing his plan.
But just as he had discovered before, the documents in this building had long since decayed. Except for the three photos that could barely be seen clearly, the other documents were torn when touched, and the words and graphics on them were even more difficult to read.
"It's difficult... it seems I should think of other ways..."
He pondered for a moment, then turned around and left the BOSS room, and went outside to continue searching.
He first searched for the top floor of the building that had been mostly cleaned up by himself, but found no more useful clues. Then he continued to search from the top floor of the building, layer by layer, and cleared away the ghosts on each floor.
This is not because he is looking for trouble for himself, but because he realizes that he may not be able to complete this task in his current state. Only Rewind can have hope again, so cleaning up the ghosts in the building has become a necessary task.
At the same time, the four players were also working hard on the lower floor of the building.
Because they don't have Wang Zhifan as their main force, the speed of clearing ghosts will inevitably slow down a lot. However, they are all thirty-something players with sufficient strength and experience, and they know how to cooperate with each other. Without Wang Zhifan as the leader, they will not overturn directly. After all, the strength of ghost theory in this building is not too strong, not as good as those troublesome individuals on Death Train.
In this way, after the concerted efforts of the upper and lower parties, an hour or two later, the faint trance that Wang Zhifan was familiar with came again, triggering the third Rewind.
This time, when everyone stood at the door of the building and regained their consciousness, Wang Zhifan was no longer as confused as the previous two times. He had high confidence in the plan he was about to launch and was ready to complete it immediately.
But the first words someone spoke made him immediately stop preparing to go it alone.
"Everyone, I found that our cognition has been changed by a certain existence."
The person who spoke was a greasy-faced middle-aged player. He was holding a newspaper in his hand and was unfolding it to show it to the players next to him.
"I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've appeared at the door of this building, and I think we really need to figure out what this is all about."
The person went on to explain the anomaly he had discovered, making it clear that players were being fooled.
His words immediately attracted the attention of other players, and everyone looked at him, hoping that he would explain further.
"You see, this newspaper is the product of other copies. The words left on it are written by me. You will know what is going on after reading it."
Wang Zhifan After hearing what he said, he immediately shifted his gaze to the part he pointed out on the newspaper and found a very conspicuous writing there:
"When you see this sentence, please believe that everyone has entered the building to clean up the monsters. All abnormalities come from this..."
"Brother, what are you making a fuss about? We have just arrived at the entrance of the building."
The young man with dark circles was the first to express his opinion. He did not believe the so-called evidence presented by the middle-aged man.
"Because I know that this line of writing was definitely written by me, and I will never deceive myself. At the same time, I found that there are many contradictions in my memory."
The greasy-faced middle-aged man immediately stated his reasons. He was quite convinced of his judgment.
"Are you really sure you wrote this? Maybe it was forged by a ghost?"
The young man with dark circles glanced at the words and didn't care much. He knew that he couldn't trust anything in the copy, but he was the most reliable.
But at this moment, Wang Zhifan spoke:
"I can prove he's right."
