I can rewind time to prevent death

Yan Junze hid himself behind a tree without any indication, focusing his attention mainly on Ku Zai. If he encountered any danger, Xiang Er would take action in advance.

After waiting for several minutes, the situation stabilized, and Xiang Er appeared.

As soon as she stepped out, she immediately scared away most of the strangenesses lurking nearby, but the eight strangenesses closest to Ku Zai turned around instead of fleeing immediately.

After a standoff for a moment, some left, but three strangenesses boldly approached Xiang Er, issuing roars, low moans, and strange gurgling sounds as a warning to the other.

Yan Junze lowered his head and closed his eyes, the sound of violent beating reaching his ears, something being hurled into the air, then crashing down heavily, followed by shrill screams, and the sound of bodies being torn apart.

He did not want to witness the scene. According to Yan Junze's thoughts, some of these strangenesses had turned into such beings due to a mere wisp of obsession, which made them very suitable for his Buddhist-style Exorcism Method.

However, there really wasn't enough time now, and even if he didn't want to see violence in exorcism, he had no choice because it was the most time-efficient method.

The screams stopped quickly, and when he opened his eyes, Yan Junze found that the strangenesses that had been lying all around were now nowhere to be found.

Ku Zai also opened his eyes and looked at Xiang Er, with the black air from the annihilated strangenesses still spreading around him.

In less than a minute, Yan Junze received a notification in his mind that the task was completed. There were a total of ten updates, which included not only the eight strangenesses that had been on top of Ku Zai but also two from the strangenesses standing nearby.

This round alone brought him 8100 points of Different Dimension Energy. Yan Junze, feeling invigorated, checked the time on his cell phone screen.

It was half-past eleven in the evening.

He hurried towards Ku Zai, "Ku Zai, can you still hold on?"

Ku Zai looked up. This time, because no strangeness had immediately harmed him, he felt that he could make it through.

He nodded, "No problem, Brother Yan, I... I can manage!"

"We need to change locations," Xiang Er pointed to a winding path leading up the mountainside, "Two hundred meters up here, there's more to harvest."

"Hmm." Ku Zai, this time without anyone's support, stood up by himself, but his body wobbled.

Yan Junze immediately supported him, "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Brother Yan, is the 'Fear Value' enough?" Ku Zai strained to smile.

"Huh..." Yan Junze calculated for a moment. To rescue Ke'er and her mother with enough certainty during the Great Rewind, more than eight thousand points of energy might not be sufficient.

The main issue was the number and difficulty of Lianyi events, which were currently impossible to estimate.

Seeing him silent, Ku Zai joked, "I'm still okay, I can hold on a bit longer."

"Good brother! I will remember you," Yan Junze was immensely moved.

The three of them followed the stone steps on the path up about two hundred meters. When they stopped, Ku Zai sat down near the steps, panting heavily.

Though Yan Junze had supported him on the way up, he was still exhausted.

"Let's stop here," Xiang Er said, continuing her concealment.

Yan Junze moved sideways into the bushes and crouched beside a larger gravestone. He took out his phone again to check the time, feeling incredibly anxious inside, but appearing overly calm in front of Ku Zai and Xiang Er.

About fifteen minutes later, six or seven strangenesses had climbed beside Ku Zai again. This round of strangenesses was evidently stronger and showed a strong possessiveness.

A bald strangeness, who had always been completely bare, climbed onto Ku Zai's shoulder, bared its fangs with a grin, and let out a series of low growls at the other strangenesses that approached.

Yet, other strangenesses that were almost as powerful as it continued to move closer to Ku Zai, extending their hands to embrace him.

The weight of the strangenesses was negligible, so Ku Zai's body wasn't burdened much; his real burden was actually the psychological pressure.

Quickly, Xiang Er appeared, and this time, besides those that ran away, six strangenesses did not leave. The bald strangeness let out a roar and lunged at Xiang Er.

But before his body even reached her, Xiang Er grabbed the head at the forefront, and with a pop sound like a bursting watermelon, juices splattered.

The remaining five strangenesses charged at Xiang Er, emitting harrowing roars and eerie howls.

Yan Junze didn't look anymore, instead, he lit up his phone screen again to check the time as sounds of continuous impacts and explosions reached his ears.

It was now eleven forty-eight in the evening.

At midnight sharp, the Space-Time Rift, though not disappearing, would enter a state of extreme decline.

No matter what, Yan Junze needed to arrive around twelve o'clock, and absolutely no later than close to twelve thirty, or else it would be questionable if the Space-Time Rift could even be used.

He looked up, and the fighting not far away had already ended, Xiang Er being impressively efficient.

After killing those few strangenesses, she turned around and helped the trembling Ku Zai, who was now curled up on the ground, his face as pale as paper and his forehead covered in beads of sweat the size of beans.

Yan Junze approached, and Xiang Er looked up at him, shaking her head worriedly, "We can't let him continue anymore."

"Yeah, this should be enough," Yan Junze had no intention of making Ku Zai go through a third round.

Soon, a notification of task completion popped up in his mind, but it was precisely only for the six strangenesses that had fought with Xiang Er just now. Apparently, the other strangenesses had not fully transferred their obsessions onto Ku Zai, failing to form a Dimensional Energy ripple.

This time, he received a total of 7900 points of Different Dimension Energy, which, added to the previous 8700 points, amounted to 16000 points.
