I can rewind time to prevent death

"Don't panic, keep the car steady!" Yan Junze yelled.

Qian San had already been so frightened that he seemed to have lost his soul, and it was unclear whether he heard Yan Junze's words or not. At this moment, the car began to shake violently.

After wriggling for a bit, the lump of clay had moved from the position of the trunk and climbed onto the roof of the SUV, silently moving about there.

Qian San glanced behind again and discovered that the grotesque shape of the strangeness had disappeared. Thinking it must have been thrown off the car, he let out a sigh of relief. The car gradually stabilized and no longer swayed back and forth.

"Are you okay?" Yan Junze turned his head to look at Ku Zai.

Ku Zai shook his head, "That thing... how could it... how could it..."

"It's targeting me now," Yan Junze said.

Just then, a lump of clay fell with a plop from the roof, suddenly smearing across half of the windshield in front of the car.

Within this clay, one could even see a face that flickered in and out of visibility, giving Qian San in the driver seat a fierce glare.

Qian San, startled by this sudden occurrence, trembled all over, panicking, his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out.

At this moment, the SUV was passing a narrow path with rapid river water on both sides, when suddenly the vehicle shook violently, forming an arc before plunging into the river on the right.

With a splash, the front of the car plunged into the water and then the whole vehicle bobbed up, slowly being carried downstream by the river.

Time rewound.

"Watch the road ahead, I need you to focus solely on the road ahead, ignore whatever appears," Yan Junze stuck his head forward from the back seat and shouted loudly.

Qian San was startled, not understanding what he meant by that.

A moment later, with a plop, a large lump of black clay fell from the roof onto the windshield, covering half of the passenger side's glass and replaying the earlier scene.

Yan Junze's voice boomed again, "Concentrate on driving, don't look at anything else, rush to the intersection at Zhulin Road as fast as you can."

The lump of clay that suddenly smeared across the windshield had indeed startled Qian San, but fortunately, Yan Junze had reminded him just in time. Although his body was shaking, he managed to keep the car from swaying violently.

From the corner of his eye, he could see the dark mass, but because he had to focus on the road, this time he did not notice the vicious face within the clay.

The SUV kept speeding along the road!

The black clay that had smeared across the windshield gradually shrank back to the roof where it started moving again.

"Quick, speed up, as long as we make it to the intersection on Zhulin Road, we'll all be safe," Yan Junze cheerfully encouraged Qian San.

Although Qian San was very afraid, his lips turning purple with fear, he was already in too deep, and he felt a sense of reckless determination, his teeth clenched tightly as he focused his eyes on the road ahead, maneuvering through sharp turns, tapping the brakes, and drifting.

At this moment, he finally proved himself to be an experienced and skilled driver.

Yan Junze occasionally checked the time, it was three minutes past twelve, and the intersection at Zhulin Road was already in sight.

Because the streetlights converged there, it looked particularly conspicuous at that moment.

Pop!

Another lump of clay smeared itself on the window at the driver's left side, closer to Qian San.

Qian San flinched from fright, but quickly steadied himself. The car only swayed slightly as it charged toward the intersection.

This lump of clay immediately reshaped into a sphere, detached from the window as if returning to the roof, but soon the sphere plummeted down from the roof.

With a thud, the window shattered and the sphere struck Qian San's head on the left side, causing him to momentarily feel dizzy, but with instinct, he slammed on the brakes and twisted the steering wheel hard. The SUV let out a loud screeching noise as the whole vehicle swung to the left with great force, almost making a complete turnaround, the wheels emitting white smoke from the intense friction.

Seconds later, the car finally stopped.

They were now about thirty meters from the intersection, and the occupants of the car were nearly thrown into a daze from the abrupt halt.

Qian San had passed out but was not in any life-threatening danger; his right foot was still firmly pressing down on the brake pedal.

"Stay in the car, don't leave," Yan Junze said.

He pulled the handbrake inside the car, threw out those words, and immediately opened the door, rushing toward the intersection beneath the streetlights.

There was a sudden noise from the roof, followed by the low growl of the Clay Monster. The roof shook, and the creature, a mass of pitch-black shadow, leaped down from the vehicle in pursuit of Yan Junze.

Yan Junze ran stumblingly, his head spinning, his speed not as fast as before.

But he knew the exact location of the Space-Time Rift and ran wildly in that direction as soon as he exited the car.

It was now past midnight, and the rift was in a state of extreme decline. He had to get in quickly because by half-past midnight, the entire rift would disappear completely.

The sound of the Clay Monster wriggling closer from behind was making Yan Junze's scalp tingle. He couldn't turn back to look, as doing so would delay him further, but the fact that the Clay Monster was swiftly closing in on him was undeniable.

Thirty meters is not far if one sprints with all their might. Though Yan Junze ran in a stumbling manner, he still managed to reach the streetlights.

On the side of the road leading toward Shuntian City, below the curb on the right side, was the Space-Time Rift in its final stages of decay, invisible from the road surface.

At that moment, plop, a lump of black clay fell on Yan Junze's shoulder.

The Clay Monster had closed in completely, stretching out a black arm, and harshly pressed down on the crown of Yan Junze's head.
