I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 337: The Person in the Photo (Conclusion)



The Lantern Woman, Ning Ji, held the lantern that was the head of her husband, Jia Sheng, at all times. At this moment, in the dream where the Black Dress Woman appeared, Yan Junze suddenly called out her name, something he had long planned. He was certain that the key to the Lantern Woman's appearance lay in the fact that every time he encountered her in a dream, the injuries she inflicted on him in the dream would be mirrored on his physical body upon waking up, without the slightest discrepancy. In other words, the Lantern Woman also possessed the ability to kill in dreams. For both women, this type of dream realm was constructed identically. The Black Dress Woman could twist off the heads of her targets in the dream, causing their real-world heads to be twisted off in the same way; didn't this exactly match the Lantern Woman's rules? Therefore, it was almost effortless for the Lantern Woman to appear in this dream realm. Moreover, the mission of "the woman with the lantern" was rated "hair-raising (high) ~ Terrified (low)," even the lowest level being higher than the "hair-raising (medium)" level of the Black Dress Woman's "special preference." Even if based on Yan Junze's estimate, the Lantern Woman had been dealt with by Xiang Er earlier on, and her strength might have been partially compromised, she still had her husband's head to assist her. A slight downgrade in level, and upon encountering the Black Dress Woman, the two unwittingly achieved equal power—an absolutely perfect match! Most importantly, the Black Dress Woman liked to twist off necks and then swap heads, while the Lantern Woman's husband, Jia Sheng, had nothing but a head, which was looking everywhere for a body. Since the Black Dress Woman twisted off the necks of innocent people in dreams, the headless bodies were surely tainted, and with the Lantern Woman's abilities, she would not fail to sense the anomalies on the Black Dress Woman upon encountering her. Even if the Lantern Woman had not fully recovered from being injured by Xiang Er, as long as there was news related to her husband, Yan Junze was very aware of, and had deeply experienced, the terrifying madness of this crazed woman. "Who are you... calling?" Hearing Yan Junze seeming to call someone, the Black Dress Woman was visibly flustered, but she soon scoffed, "This dream belongs only to me; whoever I wish to enter..." The sentence was cut short as she suddenly paused. Yan Junze smiled nonchalantly, "Are you so sure that only those you allow can enter?" In their field of view, the main hall door on the first floor creaked open, and a slender arm with a white sleeve pushed the door, a woman stepped in. This woman's attire was the exact opposite of the Black Dress Woman's, clad in a white dress with dazzling beauty, she moved elegantly like a fairy on golden lilies, her black hair moving on its own as though a light veil floating behind her while she carried a white lantern, walking step by step into the hall of No. 7 Mansion. "What?" The Black Dress Woman was clearly startled by this scene. The White Dress Woman holding the white lantern slightly raised her forehead, her gaze landing on Yan Junze at the staircase entrance, her red lips parting slightly, "Where is my husband?" "You mean your husband's headless corpse?" Yan Junze corrected, then pointed behind him without looking back, "She has plenty of headless bodies, as for which particular one, you can ask her about that!" The Lantern Woman's gaze shifted onto the still-terrified Black Dress Woman. "Where is my husband's body?" Without answering, the Black Dress Woman asked, "Who are you?" "She has hidden him," Yan Junze answered on her behalf, "She has more than one headless body, all hidden away." "I want to see." A longing filled the Lantern Woman's eyes as they flickered. "Get out!" The Black Dress Woman suddenly shouted furiously, her long hair standing on end, her dress billowed, and her fingernails started to grow wildly, becoming sharp and deadly as her skin rapidly turned a bruise color, every inch of her skin now showing bruising. At the same instant, a red glint flared up and danced in the white lantern carried by the Lantern Woman. She looked up coldly at the Black Dress Woman on the second floor, the red glint in the white lantern growing more intense, wildly consuming the white light. Pop! The last bit of white light was completely consumed by the red. With her lips parting, Ning Ji issued a piercing scream that caused the entire mansion to buzz, ceiling lamps to shake, and the atmosphere to swirl rapidly. Yan Junze's ears immediately rang with the sound. The moment she opened her mouth, one could see that the Lantern Woman's teeth had become sharply pointed and densely packed. Her white dress moved without wind, and she levitated in a single step, flying to the second floor, stepping over the balustrade to land in front of the Black Dress Woman. The Black Dress Woman took preemptive action, reaching out with her sharp, dark nails towards the Lantern Woman. The Lantern Woman didn't retreat but advanced, brushing away the incoming sharp nails, tilted her head, and grabbed the arm of the Black Dress Woman, biting at her neck. The Black Dress Woman immediately struggled while kicking at the Lantern Woman. The Lantern Woman, though hit by the kick, did not fall back. The two women entangled together, a turbulent and violent air current sweeping in all directions, white energy rising from beneath their feet and quickly threatening to envelop them. Yan Junze found the approaching air current blinding, hardly able to keep his eyes open; he hurriedly ran to the hall on the first floor and then turned to watch with keen interest. The Black Dress Woman had been completely entwined by the Lantern Woman, and at this moment, Yan Junze, unfettered by concern, turned his entire body to face them, not just his head. Like the previous battle between the Back-faced Woman and the Resentful Granny, a Ghost Domain was swiftly formed. Except, these two women clearly possessed much stronger powers, and the Ghost Domain they created was more intense by more than double, although it was constrained within the dream realm and could not show even more astonishing visual changes.
