I can rewind time to prevent death

After Ke'er left, Yan Junze checked the Spacetime Atlas and found that on the 12th node, where Ke'er's image used to be, now displayed the word "empty".

However, it was not erased.

In Ke'er's "Hair Washing" mission, Yan Junze remembered the mission background once said that Ke'er died in a car accident.

But her mother did not die in this car accident, which was the "eternal separation" mentioned in the mission. Now it seemed that the Back-faced Woman must have died after Ke'er's accident.

As for the reason, it was unknown.

Yan Junze speculated that the Back-faced Woman, due to her overwhelming grief and guilt over her daughter's death, might have chosen to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

Because the current appearance of the Back-faced Woman was not much different from someone who had died from jumping off a building.

In the early morning when she sent her mother to work, the Back-faced Woman might have felt Ke'er's presence at Yan Junze's place, so she started following him all the way to Yan Junze's home's corridor.

Yan Junze remembered that just before he was about to enter his home, it felt as if she was about to turn her head to look at him. But only after completing the mission did he realize the Back-faced Woman couldn't turn her head at all.

Back then, he was nervous inside, always afraid that seeing her face would trigger the mission ahead of time, so he might have subconsciously thought that the Back-faced Woman was going to turn around.

But that was not the case.

Having understood the causes and effects, the grey clouds in the sky had now almost completely dissipated, becoming clear again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Junze was wondering why Huang Chen and his team had not arrived when his phone rang; it was Huang Chen calling.

After picking up, Huang Chen's voice came through, "Yan Junze?"

"Yes, it's me. Why haven't you guys arrived?" Yan Junze asked.

"Oh, you didn't die?" Huang Chen obviously breathed a sigh of relief on the other end, "We arrived a while ago, but an area of the Spiritual Realm manifested halfway up the FH Community, and with our current manpower, we couldn't get close, so we had to wait outside for a bit."

Yan Junze was speechless.

Putting aside the fact that his first question was whether he was dead or not, being incapable of handling the situation was the truth, but claiming they couldn't get close at all seemed rather hypocritical.

Such phenomena, involving the appearance of a Spiritual Realm, were probably triggered by a Sculpting Spirit's struggle, so Huang Chen and others could only stay put. Recklessly charging in would likely lead to more death and injury.

In fact, this struggle didn't harm any bystanders at all, not even Old Li, who was the closest and stayed at home, lost a single hair.

Well, at most he was so scared he wet himself and took a few extra months of sick leave.

Not long after hanging up, a group of people in suits and leather shoes entered the FH Community, but the exterior blockade remained in place.

This was a kind of invisible blockade, not like the one the police would put in place with big banners and no entry allowed for anyone. Explore new worlds at empire

Outside the community, there were special staff members from the Exorcist office, and from the surface, it didn't look like there was anything unusual here.

Of course, apart from the Spiritual Realm that appeared in mid-air just now.

Yan Junze stood on the fourth floor waiting for Huang Chen and his team to come up, and soon six or seven people arrived at the fourth floor, among whom Yan Junze recognized a few.

Apart from Huang Chen, there was the one-star Exorcist Zhao Shuai and two-star Exorcist Yang Depei; the rest were unfamiliar faces.

However, once everyone arrived, they began to get busy: securing the scene, collecting evidence, and examining Lv Xin's body.

Huang Chen was understanding the situation alongside Yan Junze.

Yan Junze informed him of everything that had happened over the past few days, except for his own secrets and the completion of "The Hanged Woman" and "Drop the Handkerchief" tasks; he told everything else honestly, including the seven days he spent with Zhang Xiaomo.

Zhang Xiaomo taking over the Resentful Granny case was, of course, known to Huang Chen, but he hadn't anticipated that the subsequent events would be so complex and bizarre.

It seemed that Yan Junze was quite fortunate; in the process of being chased by the Resentful Granny, he happened to be hunted by the white-dressed woman who had already been causing strangeness in this building. As a result of the two strangenesses clashing, the woman in white emerged victorious, leading to the current outcome.

"You're definitely special, kid. Really, why don't you come over here and do a test?" Huang Chen proposed again.

Yan Junze shook his head, "If I were to go, I wouldn't go to the exorcists in the city. Zhang Xiaomo said I could use her recommendation letter to go to Tianmeng District for the test."

Huang Chen shrugged his shoulders, not insisting any further.

Soon, Zhao Shuai came over and said to Huang Chen, "Brother Chen, we've checked; Lv Xin didn't turn into a walking corpse due to Spirit-Splitting. He died very recently."

"Ah, how could that be?" Huang Chen said in surprise.

A two-star exorcist, Yang Depei, also came over; he seemed to have more experience and was just now using a magnifying glass to examine the mold growing on the walls in the stairwell.

"I suspect that it's not as simple as Lv Xin being afflicted by Spirit-Splitting," Yang Depei pointed at the body lying on the ground, "He... might have been a Spirit Cultivator. Or at least, he had the constitution of one."

"The actual situation is that he was split by the Resentful Granny when she devoured the souls of her own son," Huang Chen said thoughtfully.

"Yes," Yang Depei nodded, "but this guy used a Spirit Cultivator's methods to turn the Resentful Granny inside him to his advantage. A trick even the Resentful Granny had no clue about, until it suddenly erupted just now."

Yan Junze found this inconceivable and said, "I heard from Zhang Xiaomo that the true body of Resentful Granny was killed by her at the Rock, but if a Spirit-Splitting remained, it would gradually evolve into the original body. Has the Spirit-Splitting of Resentful Granny that remained in Lv Xin already transformed into the original body?"

"It might have transformed," Huang Chen nodded, "But there is a stabilization period, during which its strength won't be as strong as the original entity. Of course, if it's inside the body of a Spirit Cultivator, that's a different story."

"You mean... a Spirit Cultivator has ways to enhance the strength of the strangeness inside their body," Yan Junze said, curious.

"There are so many ways," Yang Depei shook his head, "Lv Xin might well have been using the Resentful Granny instead, and she had no idea."

"Your exorcist world is very complex," Yan Junze scratched his head and turned to look at the chaos in the home, "What I want to know now is, if strangenesses cause widespread damage, do you exorcists provide compensation during the restoration process?"

"No chance," Huang Chen said with a smile, "Our funds are limited, and such troubles are something you need to resolve on your own."

Yan Junze just asked casually and did not expect them to actually do anything. Just being able to protect as much as possible to prevent the strangenesses from harming people was enough for him.

Soon after, people came up to carry Lv Xin's body away, saying it would be taken to Tianmeng District for research followed by various cleanup operations at the scene.

When the cleanup was nearly finished, Yan Junze suddenly thought of something.

He smiled bitterly, looked up at the cameras covering the floor and feeling a sense of apology, quickly took out his phone and called Editor Tang from the "Open Your Eyes" video platform.

As soon as the call connected, Yan Junze immediately started with an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Editor Tang. The incident happened suddenly. I wanted to tell you that I've completed the Spirit Exploration of the Back-faced Woman in a rush."

There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by Tang Zhengyi's voice, which, instead of expressing any disappointment, calmly said, "I forgot to inform you, we recorded the incident that just happened."
