While everyone was resting, Wang Zhifan was also contemplating the characteristics of the Evil Spirit Building. He felt he had somewhat understood the pattern of this ghostly thing but was still unclear on how to break it.

"Earlier, I used the Ocean Messenger to attempt a one-hit kill on this building, but it had no effect. Maybe I hit the wrong spot or perhaps it can be immune to the 'heavy as an abyss' effect...but I can try other methods..."

After a brief moment of thought, Wang Zhifan began his second attempt as the other players were resting.

"Power of Ice!"

Suddenly, he unleashed his trump card, enveloping the entire Evil Spirit Building with the powerful freezing force equivalent to that of an Ice Ancient Dragon! The whole building instantly turned into an icy mountain nearly a hundred meters high!

Moreover, to ensure he achieved his goal, this time he didn't hold back at all. He not only froze the exterior of the Evil Spirit Building but also showed no mercy to its interior, freezing it solid with hard ice. He even paid special attention to the underground levels, making sure not to leave out a single bit. In short, he was determined to wipe out the Evil Spirit Building in one go!

The result of this fierce attack was very different from directly hitting the building with a knife earlier. As a faint sense of disorientation swept in, he found himself once again rewound.

He reappeared at the entrance of a skeleton-like building, still accompanied by four other players, and they still had slight traces of being frozen.

For instance, the tracksuit girl who had been leaning against the building wall and dozing earlier had a part of her back clothes turned into a block of ice. This was an inevitable impact from Wang Zhifan's full-scale attack on the Evil Spirit Building. If Wang Zhifan hadn't deliberately made the power of ice avoid these few people, they would have been long dead.

"This place is really strange! Just now, the temperature suddenly dropped so low that it froze my butt!"

At this moment, the young man with dark circles, having regained his consciousness, slapped his slightly stiff butt and couldn't help but complain. Then he bent down to pick up a newspaper-like item at his feet, finding it frozen hard like a cardboard.

This scene suddenly gave Wang Zhifan a bit of inspiration after encountering failure once again.

"Since this Evil Spirit Building cannot rewind player belongings, evidence can be left on the items to prove that the players' memories were indeed altered...but even if that's the case, the players' memories might be intentionally altered by the building to forcefully fit any explanation... and what good would it do to tell them the truth for brainstorming?"

At this point, Wang Zhifan was feeling torn. On one hand, he had ways to prove what he wanted to tell them, but on the other hand, he doubted what good would it do for the players to recognize reality. It seemed irrelevant to clearing the level, and worse yet, such proof might have to be repeated every time it was rewound.

As he was tangled in his thoughts, he didn't notice the confused look in the oily-faced middle-aged man's eyes beside him. This oldest player among the five was staring at a little stool on the ground, seemingly puzzled about why his item was there, more specifically, puzzled that he took it out and placed it there before walking away, a behavior that did not match his habits at all.

With some unexplainable questions in mind, this player stepped forward, picked up the small stool, stared at it for two seconds, then placed it back on the ground and sat on it to rest.

"Everyone, I'm feeling a bit tired. Let's rest well before going into the building to clean up."

Sitting on the small stool, he spoke up, thus opening the curtain for a third time of rewound resting.

"I want to rest too. Do you have another stool like that?"

The young man with dark circles, who was slapping his frozen butt, asked him, seeing that the stool under his butt was just an ordinary item, so he wasn't worried he wouldn't lend it.

"You can sit if you'd like, but please lend me your newspaper."

As expected, this middle-aged player immediately agreed but asked the young man with dark circles to lend him his newspaper.

"Sure, but what do you need this newspaper for?"

The young man with dark circles handed over the newspaper, which was already hard due to the cold, to the oily-faced middle-aged man, who did not answer. Instead, he stood up, handed over his stool, and took the newspaper. He then took out a small box to sit on instead of the stool, and subsequently, he pulled out something like a pen and began to scribble on the paper.

This ordinary scene didn't catch Wang Zhifan's attention as he was quietly thinking about how to crack the current situation.

"Perhaps the key to breaking the situation lies with the BOSS on the top floor? It's the only talking ghost in the building, although its attack drive is quite strong. It might be worth trying to control and interrogate it to see if any information can be extracted."

Feeling that this might be the case, Wang Zhifan decisively took action again. He casually walked into the building to rest against the wall, then manipulated his Dream Me Avatar left inside the building to quickly reach the upper floors, bypassing all the ghosts reset by the building along the way, straight to the BOSS room door on the top floor. He then transferred his position using Dream Entering and Dream Breaking abilities, arriving right outside the BOSS door on the top floor.

To avoid disturbing other ghosts on this floor and bringing in extra trouble, as soon as he appeared on the top floor, he activated the deceitful ability of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes to phase through the wall into the BOSS room. Immediately upon seeing the soul body old man inside, he activated the power of ice to control it, preventing its commotion from attracting other targets.

This somewhat transparent-suited old man ghost was not weak, so controlling it wasn't easy, especially just after he had fully unleashed the power of ice once, which was quite consuming.

"Evil spirit! Tell me! How can we stop this building from rewinding? If you're not honest, I won't be kind to you!"

While maintaining a strong ice control over the BOSS, Wang Zhifan interrogated it as if he were questioning a human rather than a ghost.

To his slight surprise, this BOSS seemed to really understand his words. Its transparent eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately reduced the ice suppression to allow it to respond.

"Haha! Rewinding? It's to keep you here! You'll never leave! Get ready to become one of us! Hahaha..."

This communicative ghost laughed loudly, making statements not much related to Wang Zhifan's question, and within seconds, it turned into a bubble and vanished in front of Wang Zhifan, even with the power of ice's suppression.

"This thing can't be interrogated at all...but this practice at least proved that killing it directly doesn't trigger a rewind."

Seeing everything remain unchanged after killing the BOSS first, Wang Zhifan realized this ghost might not be as important to the Evil Spirit Building as he thought, but its words drew his attention to one thing: is it true that they can't leave?

To verify this, he started sensing the two Dream Me Avatars placed outside in the city before first entering the building, attempting to use Dream Entering and Dream Breaking abilities to transfer to their locations to move away from the Evil Spirit Building.

But this operation instantly widened his eyes, for he suddenly discovered that his spiritual connection with the two avatars seemed vaguely blocked by something, making it difficult to control them, let alone activate the ability to transfer there!
