I can rewind time to prevent death

Until now, Yan Junze had received a total of three relatively high-level tasks.

However, he had not carried out the Terrified level task, "Tricky Silk," but he had completed the two Hair-raising level tasks, "Look at Her Face" and "Reflection Under the Moonlight," both of which brought him more or less trouble.

Firstly, in "Reflection Under the Moonlight," the protagonist Fang Ning had become inseparably linked to Yan Junze's shadow. It had made him develop the good habit of always checking the weather before going out, especially at night.

The Back-faced Woman from "Look at Her Face," after reuniting with Ke'er, achieved a relatively satisfactory ending. Although the Back-faced Woman didn't give Yan Junze a friendly look or say a kind word when she left with Ke'er.

For Yan Junze, this had no impact. He helped Ke'er find her mother, not out of a desire for some strange words of gratitude, or even for help in return, or for her to offer herself to him.

But what Yan Junze never expected was that the Back-faced Woman was not as simple as she appeared. On the surface, after finding Ke'er, she hadn't done anything to him, but in reality...
Experience tales with empire

Yan Junze revealed a bitter smile while watching the video on the camera.

At this moment, he had completely stood up with a massive amount of hair growing on his body, especially on his head.

The disheveled look closely resembled that of the Back-faced Woman.

Most importantly, his neck had also twisted 180 degrees, and he moved backwards in a bizarre gait, walking toward the confused and wary child.

One could imagine that, after being Spirit-Splitted, he now possessed abilities nearly identical to those of the Back-faced Woman, and within just a few rounds, the child's body was penetrated by a large amount of hair; his claw-like weapons were no match for the current Yan Junze.

When the hair pulled the child back in front of Yan Junze, the figure in the video reached back with a hand, grabbed the child's arms, and with a ferocious pull, tore him apart.

The terrified child attempted to escape but was already lifted off the ground and controlled by the numerous strands of hair.

Then Yan Junze grabbed the child's wildly kicking legs and likewise ripped them apart, discarding them.

After that, the long straight hair suddenly burst open and the child's body instantaneously became countless fragments, scattered all over the floor, leaving only an intact head behind.

Apart from Zhenzhen, who was completely out of it and oblivious, this scene made the Crawler Monster that was shivering nearby even more terrified, wandering around in a panic, mouth agape, but unable to utter any sound.

However, no matter how much it moved, the creature didn't flee but stayed near Yan Junze.

After eliminating the child, the neck of the Yan Junze with the twisted head began to retract the hair back into his skin.

Then he took a few steps forward and collapsed to the ground. His twisted head slowly turned back to its original position, suggesting that the injuries on his body had healed.

Turning off the video, Yan Junze took several deep breaths with a look of terror on his face.

Once his emotions had stabilized, he was certain that he had been Spirit-Splitted by the Back-faced Woman during the task "Look at Her Face."

He had facilitated the reunion of the mother and daughter, yet he wondered why the woman still chose to Spirit-Split him, which puzzled Yan Junze greatly.

After all, if he had been Spirit-Splitted, the Back-faced Woman could control him at any time, threatening his life.

And in the event the Back-faced Woman's original body died, for instance, if destroyed by an Exorcist, then she could utilize the Spirit-Splitting to transform his own body into her primary form.

This meant he was not safe at all and was at the mercy of the Back-faced Woman's control at any moment.

As for the recent change, it must have been triggered by the imminent danger to his life, activating the Back-faced Woman's Spirit-Splitting to protect this vessel that had been Spirit-Splitted.

Recalling this, he remembered seeing Ke'er through his daze and also the scenery behind her.

This meant that although he had undergone Spirit-Splitting, through this process, he was able to observe the situation from the Back-faced Woman's perspective.

The scene involving Ke'er he had witnessed might be exactly what Ke'er was experiencing at that moment.

He turned off the camera and handed it to the Crawler Monster, then Yan Junze instructed, "Dawn is approaching. Let's leave this place first."

After speaking, he retracted Zhenzhen, who was positioned beneath the cliff, had the Crawler Monster carry his belongings, and then called Zhou Dali to prepare a car to wait for him at the west side gate of the Spectacular Courtyard.

This time, he didn't plan to exit through the main gate.

His body was too weakened, and he could collapse at any moment. The energy he had managed to gather was just enough for him to make it to the west side entrance.

At that time, the night-shift security guard was fast asleep in the security booth, and since it was a side gate that normally didn't see much foot traffic, especially at this hour.

When Yan Junze arrived, Zhou Dali had already reached the exterior of the gate.

This guy had been woken up by Yan Junze from his sleep, but being a good friend, he didn't hesitate to hail a cab and rush over.

Instead of asking the security guard to open the gate, Zhou Dali simply bent the fence to create a small gap. The gap wasn't big, but it was just large enough for Yan Junze to squeeze through, followed by the Crawler Monster.

Zhou Dali had seen the Crawler Monster before, so he just took a couple of extra looks with some fear, but he didn't say anything.

Covering the Crawler Monster with a piece of clothing, Zhou Dali took the passenger seat, while Yan Junze and the Crawler Monster got into the back of the cab, which drove towards FH Community.

Upon reaching the community, some sleepless elderly residents were already up, but the area was still sparsely populated. With Zhou Dali's cover, Yan Junze and the Crawler Monster made it back home.

Without disturbing his parents, Zhou Dali only stood at the doorway for a moment before leaving.

Initially, seeing Yan Junze's pale face, Zhou Dali planned to take him to the hospital, but Yan Junze refused.

Pallor was to be expected, having lost so much blood, his body's blood supply must be nearly depleted. But Yan Junze didn't understand why he wasn't dead yet. Had he already become the walking dead?

Furthermore, his carotid artery had been severed and yet it was completely unharmed.

Lying in bed, his mind was filled with whimsical ideas. Just now, outside the warehouse at Mountain Park, after a series of mishaps and tricky operations, the boss of the Tricky Silk in the tunnel's underground space had not appeared. This indicated that the person he heard talking had stopped it.

When Zhenzhen led him in their hurried escape, Yan Junze had only heard the other party say one sentence. The strange force pulling on Zhenzhen and him disappeared immediately, allowing their escape.

Moreover, even after he had delayed for so long outside the warehouse, the boss of the Tricky Silk didn't chase after them, suggesting that this person who intercepted the strangeness by speaking was very powerful.

For Yan Junze, this turned out to be extremely fortunate.

His thoughts were complicated, and soon Yan Junze shifted his focus to the sudden appearance of the green child, puzzled by why the child had ambushed and attacked him.

His mind was a mess and with the close shave he had just experienced, he felt completely overwhelmed, mainly just feeling extremely tired.

Just the walk up the stairs had nearly caused him to faint.

Dealing with Strangeness really wasn't easy.

First, there was Ke'er climbing onto his back, which was bearable. Then he was chased by Resentful Granny. He had put even that behind him, but then Fang Ning had hidden in his shadow, waiting for the chance to take his life. And now he found out that even the Back-faced Woman had left him a "Love's Spirit Fragment!"

Wait, if it was a Spirit Fragment, then surely more than 48 hours had passed. Could he be... beyond saving?
