I can rewind time to prevent death

From the moment Yan Junze first took Ku Zai away from Tianmeng, he had felt that the Clay Monster might not let things go. Xiang Er had mentioned it too during that period.

Latter, when he compared the number of strangenesses that he had eliminated and driven away against the information from the completed missions, there was indeed one missing.

Unexpectedly, this creature was so adept at enduring, hiding until now when Xiang Er was entangled by the white-haired old woman and couldn't get away, leaving only Yan Junze to escape with Ku Zai. That's when it suddenly appeared.

If Ku Zai had to say what he was most afraid of in his life, it was probably this being in front of him that had once burrowed into his body, casting the most terrifying shadow over him.

Still clutching Yan Junze's phone in his hand, he quickly crawled in front of Yan Junze, trembling all over, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

Yan Junze grabbed Ku Zai by the shoulders, steadying him.

Ku Zai said, "Brother Yan, didn't I open the shielding garment? Why can it still follow me... Didn't the shielding garment work?"

"No, that's not it," Yan Junze said, grabbing him as the two of them supported each other to stand up and rapidly retreated. "Its target is me!"

Admittedly, this Clay Monster was different from other strangenesses that were merely occupied by obsession; it was very smart and had been enduringly following Ku Zai. It might have already been lurking nearby in the cemetery, just not showing itself.

However, after Yan Junze carried Ku Zai and started running, Ku Zai activated the Magnetic Shielding Clothes, concealing his aura at that moment.

The Clay Monster, which had been secretly following, became very frantic, uneasy, and angry when it suddenly lost the scent it was infatuated with, not knowing what to do for a moment.

But a moment later, the Clay Monster thought of a solution and immediately switched its target to Yan Junze, who was usually close to Ku Zai.

As long as Yan Junze was there, Ku Zai wouldn't be too far from it. By following this person, it was sure to find Ku Zai; the effect would be the same.

In the Clay Monster's eyes, Ku Zai, who had activated the shielding garment, now had an unfamiliar aura, like a complete stranger. It didn't want to pay attention to, nor did it care about him anymore.

So, at this point, Yan Junze had inadvertently become its temporary target.

As Yan Junze and Ku Zai got up and retreated, they had fallen heavily to the ground while running, so their limbs were a bit unresponsive. The Clay Monster, having taken on a human form, quickly rolled its clay feet and caught up with the two of them.

"This won't work!"

The SUV, which had stopped, was still a few dozen meters away. Yan Junze knew that with Ku Zai, he simply couldn't run fast enough to get there, so with a single thought, he activated Rewind.

Time reversed.

After a brief moment of dizziness, his vision cleared. He was still madly running through the graveyard with Ku Zai on his back, and it was at this moment that Ku Zai was calling Qian San, telling him to get to the cemetery gate as fast as possible.

"Tell him to turn the car around the moment he gets there, open the door, and don't turn off the engine!" Yan Junze added while on the run.

After ending the call, a few minutes later, the cemetery gate was in sight.

The familiar car lights flashed outside the gate; Qian San had arrived in the SUV at the same time as before.

Yan Junze knew that the Clay Monster was about to catch up with him. It would wrap its clay around his right ankle just as he was about to run out of the cemetery gate, tripping him into a huge somersault.

He remembered exactly which spot it would happen.

As they ran out the gate, Ku Zai, lying on Yan Junze's back, suddenly felt Yan Junze leap up.

With someone on his back, he certainly couldn't jump high, but it allowed Yan Junze to bypass the concealed obstacle and, landing solidly, rush toward the SUV with the door turned around.

Behind them, a rustling friction sound broke out, followed by the Clay Monster's low growl. It hadn't anticipated Yan Junze suddenly jumping up at the critical moment, dodging its attempt to entangle his ankle.

Ku Zai heard the strange noises and, in alarm, turned his head to look back, causing his entire body to shake violently, tensing up, and he began hitting Yan Junze's shoulder unconsciously: "Brother Yan, that... "

"The Clay Monster is chasing us, I know," Yan Junze panted as he nearly reached the SUV.

Just as Qian San got out and opened the rear door of the vehicle.

"Get in, get ready to go!" Yan Junze shouted.

Qian San, standing by the open door, was startled and looked back, only to see something closely trailing behind Yan Junze and Ku Zai. The scare made him shudder, and without looking closer to identify it, he rushed back to the driver's seat in a panic.

Yan Junze, with Ku Zai on his back, lunged forward, Ku Zai quickly clinging to his back, head down, as they both dove into the back seat of the SUV.

Without even closing the back door, Qian San floored the accelerator and the SUV's engine roared, revving up to at least five thousand RPM, speeding away.

The Clay Monster caught up, letting out a deep roar and stretching out its clay arms, which suddenly extended several times over, leaping over five or six meters, and slapped onto the glass of the SUV's trunk with a smack.

Immediately, it pulled its entire body together, forming into a ball, and with the pull of that clay arm, it was shot out by the forward momentum of the SUV.

The next second, the entire ball-shaped body thumped onto the SUV's rear door.

The intense vibration shook all three people inside the car.

Through the rearview mirror, Qian San spotted a non-human-shaped strangeness clinging to the back of his vehicle, writhing. Terrified, he screamed and depressed the gas pedal completely, surging forward with reckless abandon.
