Huang Jinxiang screamed in agony, his hands instinctively reaching to protect his body, but the moment they touched his skin, there was a sharp sting.
"Brother Xiang, hurry to the fridge and use ice cubes to cool it down!"
Li Yintong hurried to help.
Huang Jinxiang stumbled towards the bathroom.
"Don’t use it all, leave some for us!"
Bath followed him in.
Huang Jinxiang opened the fridge, grabbed a handful of ice cubes, and pressed them against his face.
The ice was cool and comfortable, but what about the rest of his body?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bathtub next to him, and suddenly had an idea; he turned on the faucet.
Scalding water gushed out, and a large puff of white steam rose.
Huang Jinxiang immediately tossed several ice cubes into it.
The steam vanished, and the hot water cooled down instantly.
Huang Jinxiang tested the water temperature with his hand,
It was ice-cold, exactly what he needed; without a second thought, he stripped off his clothes and plunged in.

"Yintong, quick, add some more ice cubes for me!"
Huang Jinxiang urged.
"Add what? How much have you used already?"
Jilu was upset: "This is a shared resource for everyone!"
The couple’s boyfriend entered, saw the situation, and wanted to get into the tub as well.
He had been stunned by an electric shock, turning into a teppanyaki grill, with a large portion of his body burnt.
Huang Jinxiang didn’t refuse, and made some space to his side.
This way, one more person could share the hostility, and they could face trouble together.
"Stop arguing over this trivial matter, dealing with the oven is the top priority!"
Lin Baici lifted his wrist, glanced at his watch.
Five minutes were up.
He immediately spit out the ice cube from his mouth, noticing one about the size of a sugar cube remaining; adhering to the principle of not wasting, he tossed it into the bathtub.
"Ying Zhen, spit it out!"
Lin Baici took out four more cubes from the fridge.
Everyone watched eagerly, no one dared to stop him, and as soon as he finished, Dorisan immediately followed his lead.
Now, everyone was displeased.
"Isn’t that one still undissolved?"
"But God Lin changed it!"
Big Ocean Horse argued.
"Can you compare yourself to God Lin?"
Li Yintong snapped back.
Lin Baici left to search for clues.
"Let’s not argue, folks. When we run out of ice cubes, can’t we just freeze some more?"
Huang Jinxiang suggested.
The crowd thought it was a good idea and quickly got to work, looking for containers to fill with hot water to put in the freezer.
"It’s frozen! It’s frozen!"
Hot water was in the cups, and once they were placed in the freezer compartment of the fridge, they visibly defrosted, solidifying into large ice cubes in a few minutes.
"Come on, put the ice cubes in the bathtub; I want to test their cooling effect!"
Huang Jinxiang prompted.
"You get out; I want to try!"
Jilu, burning up, also wanted to give it a try.
It turned out that the ice cubes everyone quickly froze were indeed useful.
"Don’t waste them. Each person takes a handful of ice cubes to the other rooms to look for clues. There must be Taboo things that will shut off the oven!"
Everyone divided up the ice cubes and set off in different directions.
Huang Jinxiang stayed behind, bathing while freezing ice cubes, blissfully indulgent.
Everyone tacitly allowed him to slack off because he had discovered this key point.
Actually, Lin Baici would have been entitled as well, but he didn’t take advantage.
It might have been due to the electricity being cut off once before, but after the oven restarted, the temperature soared extremely fast, as was evident from the bodies hanging there.
They were charred, their flesh black and emitting a burnt stench,
very unpleasant to smell.
Lin Baici searched another seven rooms without success.
"Could it be that the key to purification is in that oven room?"
Kim Myungjin speculated, "Should we go back and check again?"
"God Lin, God Lin, come quick, it’s not good!"
Huang Jinxiang’s voice suddenly rang out, urgent and piercing.
Lin Baici immediately broke into a run.
By the time he returned to the room, he saw Black Gan having stripped off his clothes, somehow finding a stepladder, placing it beneath the grill, then starting to climb up.
Lin Baici frowned, as if he could crush a crab: "Agan, Agan, get down!"
"It’s no use, he’s like he’s been stripped of his mind by something, and he can’t hear us anymore!"
Bath said grimly, the doll on his shoulder standing up, hiding behind his neck, hands covering her eyes, not daring to look at Black Gan.
"It’s the oven, isn’t it?"
"Then why didn’t it affect us?"
Agan’s partner was puzzled.
"His willpower is weaker, so he lost control first. It’ll soon be our turn!"
Huang Jinxiang analyzed.
Rusty hooks were embedded in the ceiling, and those bodies were hooked by the ankles and hung upside down in the air.
After climbing three meters high on the stepladder, Agan inverted his body, raised his feet, and forcefully aimed for those hooks.
Dorisan covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in shock.
Lin Baici said, rushing to the stepladder and kicking it hard.
The stepladder flew away, and Agan dropped to the floor with a thud.
Bath didn’t understand.
Agan was frantic; he scrambled up from the floor and lunged at Lin Baici, throwing punches with total disregard for the respect he had before.
Lin Baici had anticipated this possibility, so instead of attacking, he retreated at once.
As soon as he stepped out the room door, Agan stopped, then ran back to the stepladder, setting it up again underneath the hooks.
Agan began climbing once more!
Now everyone clearly understood, Agan had ’lost his mind’ and was trying to turn himself into ’roasted meat’!
