As a slight feeling of confusion spread throughout his body, Wang Zhifan blinked and regained consciousness, and then he found himself standing at the entrance of the Evil Spirit Building for the second time, accompanied by four other players.

"So it's still not working... but my head didn't hurt this time."

Although he had hoped that flattering the BOSS would clear the level, Wang Zhifan also knew that such a simple outcome was highly unlikely, so he naturally accepted the failure and faced the previously encountered scenario rewind calmly.

"We just cleared this building, you all remember, right?"

The next second, he turned his head to the left and then to the right, directly asking his teammates on both sides.

"Huh?"

"Didn't we just arrive?"

"Big brother, what are you talking about?"

The four teammates immediately cast questioning glances at him, each one completely unaware of the intention behind his words, just like the first rewind.

"It's nothing, I'm just joking."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan quickly smiled and laughed it off.

Unlike the first time when he was almost provoked to anger by his teammates' doubts, this time he remained quite calm in front of their bewildered faces because he was now absolutely certain that the Evil Spirit Building possessed the ability to alter players' memories or perceptions, and it could continually rewind the state of everyone involved, toying with them.

"Like to mess with people, huh... let's see if I won't deal with you!"

Having made a judgment, Wang Zhifan no longer hoped to persuade his teammates and planned to deal with this annoying existence by himself.

He immediately ran to the side of the broken entrance of the building, retrieved the Ocean Envoy Curved Saber from his portable space, and despite the puzzled glances of the four players behind him, began hacking at the building's wall with the saber.

With the first strike, the Ocean Envoy easily sliced through the wall but did not trigger the Heavy as the Abyss passive.

With the second strike, the gash in the wall expanded, but still, the instakill passive wasn't triggered.

With the third strike, the Ocean Envoy finally emitted the sound of waves crashing against rocks, but the result was only a further expansion of the hole in the wall without any other reaction.

With the fourth strike, a second break appeared in the building's wall.

With the fifth strike...

Within seconds, Wang Zhifan's strange actions had attracted the attention of the four players behind, who expressed their confusion and tried to dissuade him.

"Big brother, what are you doing? This wall isn't a ghost..."

The young man with dark circles watched Wang Zhifan continue to hack at the wall and frowned.

"Brother, don't do this! If you damage the load-bearing wall, this building might collapse! If that happens, it'll be troublesome for us to clear out the ghosts inside!"

The middle-aged player with an oily face also felt puzzled by Wang Zhifan's baffling actions and chose to dissuade him from a task-related perspective.

"Haha, sorry, I was just warming up the saber."

Seeing that after hacking the wall so many times he didn't manage to affect the Evil Spirit Building, naturally, Wang Zhifan wouldn't continue stubbornly, and under the gaze of his teammates, he quickly sheathed the saber and stopped, finding a clumsy excuse to defend himself.

"Alright, alright! If you're ready, let's go inside and start killing monsters!"

The cold-faced female player was already a bit impatient. She was the first to walk through the broken entrance of the building and turned to beckoning to the others.

But the middle-aged man with an oily face standing behind her did not step forward; instead, he took out a small stool from his portable space and sat down on the ground, looking at her and the other players with an apologetic expression, and said:

"Sorry, I spent too much energy on the way, please let me rest a little longer. Otherwise, I won't be able to perform well after rushing in."

Then, as soon as the middle-aged oily-faced man's words fell, the young man with dark circles also chimed in:

"Yeah! Actually, I'm feeling a bit tired too. It wasn't easy getting here, let's take a break everyone!"

After saying that, he retrieved something like a newspaper from his portable space, laid it on the ground, and sat down to rest on it.

"Hmph! You can't handle such a short walk, and you call yourselves men!"

The cold-faced female player already at the entrance of the building immediately mocked them, but she couldn't go into the building alone to clear the ghosts, so she paused and returned outside.

"Sis, we're a gunner and a mage, there's no way we can compare to you as a warrior with physical strength..."

The young man with dark circles who had already sat on the ground immediately looked up to defend himself, stating it was a disadvantage caused by their profession.

As for the girl in sportswear, she didn't say much but was already leaning against the wall with her eyes slightly closed, beginning to doze off, evidently her personal stamina wasn't particularly abundant either.

"Heh... each of you has cleared the building at least once, of course you'd feel tired, what does this have to do with the path..."

Observing this scene, Wang Zhifan immediately complained inwardly, knowing exactly where the players' energy was truly consumed, but due to the Evil Spirit Building's influence, he understood that even if he revealed the truth, these people wouldn't believe it, only asserting that it was on the way to the Evil Spirit Building where they exhausted a lot of energy.

"From this point of view, the Evil Spirit Building's rewind of players' states isn't complete; it hasn't restored them to their initial state upon arrival at the building, merely transferring them repeatedly to the reset entrance of the building, causing memory-modified players to futilely repeat monster killing, constantly accumulating injuries and fatigue..."
