Underneath the gloomy sky, at the entrance of the dilapidated Evil Spirit Building in the lifeless ghost town, Wang Zhifan looked at the wide-open, battered door that didn't even have a single ghost around, and felt shock and confusion for the first time in his heart.

He stopped in his tracks, raised a hand to rub his forehead, trying to lessen the slight pain inexplicably appearing in his head, while considering whether the past two to three hours of experiences were an illusion. Otherwise, why did he suddenly return to the entrance of the Evil Spirit Building, suddenly back to the starting point of this mission?

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Headache?"

At this moment, the young man with dark circles beside Wang Zhifan looked at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly very curious as to why he suddenly stood still.

"What exactly happened just now?"

Wang Zhifan turned his head to look at him, wanting to discuss why, after defeating the building's BOSS, the three of them suddenly returned to the building's entrance, mysteriously reuniting with the two players left below.

"What do you mean, what happened? Didn't anything happen just now?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhifan's question, the young man with dark circles immediately showed a few signs of confusion on his face, as if he completely couldn't understand what Wang Zhifan was saying.

"Are you sure nothing happened?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhifan's eyebrows nearly stood up, his gaze fixed on this gunman player, finding it hard to believe that his partner who fought with him to the top of the building would ignore such a cataclysmic change just now.

"Young man, if you have something to say, it might help to be clear. We're all adults here, any problem can be discussed."

The middle-aged man with an oily face, seeing that Wang Zhifan was on the verge of losing his temper, immediately walked over to counsel him, as if what Wang Zhifan said was fabricated from nothing.

"You guys..."

In an instant, Wang Zhifan felt as if these people were extremely unfamiliar, not on the same wavelength as him at all.

Then he realized something, exerting his powerful perception to see if these people had been swapped by ghosts and monsters.

But unfortunately, no matter how he observed and sensed, he couldn't detect even the slightest flaw on them. He even noticed the dust mark on the sleeve of the young man with dark circles, which he remembered came from when the other avoided ghosts on the tenth or so floor of the building during cleanup.

"Basketball?"

Then he remembered the code words he and his companions agreed on before entering the building to clear it, trying to see if they still remembered that set of phrases.

"Rooster... Brother, didn't we just check the code words?"

Seeing Wang Zhifan suddenly look at him and say this word, the young man with dark circles immediately responded a bit helplessly. From his expression, it was clear that he didn't understand what Wang Zhifan was fixated on.

"Yes, didn't we just go over the code words? My code word is 'sneak attack,' hers is '69,' and hers is 'old comrade.' Young man, is there a problem with this?"

The oily-faced middle-aged man similarly stared at Wang Zhifan with confusion, pointing at the girl in sportswear and the cool-looking female player nearby, who both cast puzzled looks at someone.

"You guys... We have already cleared this building just now! Then suddenly we were back at this entrance! Isn't that weird enough?!"

At this point, Wang Zhifan realized how strange the situation was, and he shouted loudly, trying to snap his suddenly foolish comrades back to reality.

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

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

"Are you experiencing hallucinations!"

All of a sudden, his four companions looked at him with baffled expressions, unable to understand the words he was saying.

"What hallucinations! The dust on your sleeve is from rubbing against the wall on the tenth or so floor of the building! Have you forgotten even this?! What's wrong with you all!"

Seeing these companions seemingly becoming forgetful, unable to connect to the same channel as him, Wang Zhifan was suddenly a bit angry. He immediately pointed to the young man with dark circles, using the dust mark on his sleeve as evidence.

"Brother... this dust on my sleeve is from accidentally falling while walking earlier, what does that have to do with the building... Brother, are you too stressed and got it wrong?"

Even with Wang Zhifan's reminders to this point, the young man with dark circles still couldn't believe what he had just said, even coming up with a nonexistent memory.

Because Wang Zhifan remembered that on the way to the Evil Spirit Building, none of them had fallen, and they couldn't have just randomly tripped either. As level 30 players, walking unsteadily was a joke, not to mention the young man with dark circles being a gunman with agility as his main trait!

"You..."

Wang Zhifan suddenly showed an indescribable expression, wanting to point out how absurd the other's statements were, but then he suddenly didn't want to argue with him. Turning to look at the sportswear girl standing aside, he turned to her and said:

"About three hours ago, we cleaned the basement levels one through six of this building together; you still remember that, right?"

He was staring at his most trustworthy-seeming companion, hoping she'd give him some hope.

"No! I don't remember what you're talking about. All I know is that if we keep wasting time at this entrance, this mission won't get completed!"

The sportswear girl immediately responded to him somewhat impatiently, making him feel what true despair was.

"You guys..."

This series of bizarre conversations unavoidably raised Wang Zhifan's blood pressure to a high point. His mentality was already on the verge of crumbling, and he even began to wonder if it was really his problem, because his companions before him did not doubt their memories in the slightest, while only he was at odds with them, and his head was still slightly aching.
