I can rewind time to prevent death

When the strangeness approached, it was impossible to sense anything unusual about this Black Spirit Umbrella. Only at the moment of proximity did it trigger a response, but by then it was already too late.

In other words, under normal circumstances, this umbrella could completely escape notice, modest to the extreme. Any person, strangeness, or instrument sensitive to magnetic fields would be oblivious to its specialness.

Kuang Haibo looked at the Black Spirit Umbrella in Yan Junze's hand, astonished, while his mind fervently pondered.

However, the power of this umbrella was just too strong. The Blood Sha that had just been absorbed had already killed multiple people and was capable of causing a C+ level event.

What was most critical was that Yan Junze's weapon could directly peel away the hidden form of Blood Sha from the body of Fire Wolf, eliminating the Blood Sha at its root, and expelling the non-strangeness Fire Wolf.

That is to say, this object differentiated and eradicated only strangeness, with no possibility of accidental harm.

You should know that sometimes the magnetic knife might not be perfectly controlled and could also harm ordinary people because it has two forms. In dire situations, Exorcists might forget to turn off the physical attack and fail to bring out the magnetic glow.

At this moment, Baldy and the female team member were supporting Fire Wolf. The young man seemed to be mostly unharmed, only pale-faced and limp.

After a brief chat with this C11 Exorcism team, Kuang Haibo and the others repeatedly thanked Yan Junze. Had he not appeared unexpectedly, though Kuang Haibo, being a four-star Exorcist, was present and the Fire Wolf's life wouldn't have been in serious danger, some suffering would have been inevitable.

The team members then busied themselves with cleaning up the remaining situation, informing the residents of Yan Family Gully that the curfew was lifted, and reporting back to the headquarters to reassign an Exorcist.

Yan Junze returned to the urban district of Huaying late at night and settled back into his hotel.

After returning to the hotel, he opened the Black Spirit Umbrella to examine it closely. It appeared completely ordinary, showing no signs of any unusual marks even after having killed a strangeness, let alone revealing the Semi-Ethereal Spirit, Fang Ning, or the Black Spirit Pearl within.

After the Strange Energy was perfectly balanced, it had unexpectedly reached such a wondrous state.

At this moment, Yan Junze also could not sense Fang Ning, nor the terrifying presence of the Semi-Ethereal Spirit, and it seemed that the emergence of moonlight was no longer a triggering condition for Fang Ning's appearance within the umbrella.

That is to say, as long as he opened the umbrella, any unsuspecting strangeness that approached him would be devoured by the three combined energies within the umbrella, regardless of the moonlight.

"What would happen if... I open the umbrella under the moonlight? What would Fang Ning become then?" Yan Junze mused privately, his gaze fixed on the center of the umbrella.

That spot used a high-polymer film, Wan Shouguang's intention was to absorb some moonlight, yet not to let Fang Ning be fully and thoroughly bathed in it, imposing certain limits on her.

Yan Junze speculated that if Fang Ning were to bathe in the moonlight within the umbrella, her strength might be enhanced, but it was unlikely to disrupt the balance of the three energies.

Perhaps, at that time, Fang Ning would assume a certain dominant position, either revealing her true form within the umbrella or releasing some of her special attack methods, such as an electric shock.

This was just speculation; only after a trial would he know for sure. However, since Zhang Chengjing and Wan Shouguang had both been comfortable with this design, it must mean that it posed no danger to Yan Junze and would not damage the Black Spirit Umbrella.

Early the next morning, Yan Junze went to await outside Zhang Chengjing's residence to bid farewell. His flight to Tianmeng was at noon, but before that, he wanted to visit Wan Shouguang's home to express his gratitude and say goodbye.

Zhang Chengjing looked at Yan Junze with an appreciative eye and asked casually, "How about your Black Spirit Umbrella? How effective was it?"

Yan Junze naturally did not reveal that he had stowed the Black Spirit Umbrella inside a node for safekeeping, simply replying, "I tested it out last night, the attack was quite satisfying. I think you'll find out when you go to work later, the four-star Exorcist Kuang Haibo is bound to come asking all sorts of questions."

Zhang Chengjing chuckled, "After you return, take care of yourself and tell Xiaomo to stick with Guo Youliang when she's on assignment."

"Why is that?" Yan Junze asked, curious about his sudden vigilance.

Zhang Chengjing didn't immediately head to the car that had come to pick him up; instead, he pulled Yan Junze aside, speaking in a low voice, "The situation in Olay Great Capital is completely chaotic."

"What's happening there now?" Yan Junze exclaimed. "The entire Great Capital is in chaos?"

Zhang Chengjing shook his head, "The social order is temporarily well-managed by the Great Capital's officials, and on the surface, it seems calm, but the Half-Moon Exorcism Association…"

Yan Junze stared at him, silent.

"The Half Moon Association... has gotten into big trouble. According to our investigation, almost all members of the Half Moon Association seen at that sacrificial ceremony you witnessed are dead. Furthermore, we've verified that they were summoning a powerful strangeness on that altar," said Zhang Chengjing.

"What?!" Yan Junze's eyes widened. "The world is already full of strangeness, do they think there aren't enough and want to summon more? If they find them lacking, we can ship them two hundred truckloads from Huaying Great Capital."

Zhang Chengjing shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's a case of fighting poison with poison. They used 'Book of Oath' stolen from the ancient Yakelans Museum in Olay Great Capital as a medium to release a strangeness that had devoured hundreds of Possession Spirits."
