I can rewind time to prevent death

His entire tongue was covered in hair, making it appear black at a glance.

It wasn't just that; he quickly felt an intense itching all over his body, unbearably so, even inside his mouth, where black hairs sprouted from every part, including his gums.

"Fuck!"

The severe itchiness almost brought Yan Junze to his knees. Explore more at empire

He quickly remembered that his mother, Li Man, had told him about Old Wang from next door who, after provoking the Back-faced Woman while going downstairs, sprouted a lot of black hair all over his body.

Eventually, Old Wang was hospitalized and saved, but it was said that the hairs had to be surgically plucked out one by one by the doctors.

Just thinking about it was chilling.

And now, the same situation was happening to him, and it seemed that the curse from the Back-faced Woman was much worse than Old Wang's.

What big deal had Old Wang done? He just lived next door, but Yan Junze had clearly upset the Back-faced Woman even more.

If he continued like this, he would be finished even before Lv Xin found him.

"This crazy woman!" Fighting against the extreme itchiness, Yan Junze rushed out of the bathroom and into the living room, yelling, "Back-faced Woman! I'm helping you, not harming you!"

Right at the entrance to the living room, he finally saw the Back-faced Woman standing motionless behind the door.

Of course, her head was turned around, and her eyes, hidden beneath her hair, were staring at Yan Junze.

From the Back-faced Woman's point of view, she thought Yan Junze was going to help her, so she had gone to the underground parking garage, only to find that not only had he failed to bring out the two strange babies, but he had also brought out the Resentful Granny, whom she feared the most.

Wasn't this harming her rather than helping?

So, the punishment for Yan Junze became inevitable.

The intense itchiness gradually turned into pain all over his body, as more hair kept emerging through his skin.

Yan Junze sat down on the floor, ready to Rewind.

But deciding to what point to Rewind to was the problem; ever since he came out of the underground parking garage, he couldn't find the Back-faced Woman, and he had been cursed even before she appeared.

To what point in time should he rewind to efficiently avoid being cursed by the Back-faced Woman first?

For now, it seemed that there was no immediate threat to his life; he would die only when completely covered with black hair.

Therefore, he still had moments to ponder the timing.

However, just then, the figure of Lv Xin appeared outside the window, step by step he crossed the hallway and reached the entrance of the living room.

The Resentful Granny already had a profound impression of Yan Junze's door, but at this moment the door was not locked.

Lv Xin stood outside, turned the handle, and the door opened, revealing the calm-faced young man.

The moment the door opened, he caught sight of Yan Junze sitting on the floor.

Lv Xin stepped into the living room and walked toward Yan Junze.

"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle..."

The strange sound came from behind the living room door, causing Lv Xin, who had been focusing solely on Yan Junze, to pause briefly and stop in his tracks, turning his head to look.

Upon seeing the Back-faced Woman, Lv Xin looked somewhat surprised, and he glanced back and forth between the sitting Yan Junze, now an easy catch, and the woman, seemingly hesitating.

The next second, unwilling to give up, he opened his mouth slightly and uttered a single word to the Back-faced Woman.

"Get out!"

Listening to that voice, it certainly didn't come from a young person, but from an incredibly aged old crone—the Resentful Granny.

The Back-faced Woman continued to emit a "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle" sound, unmistakably a warning. Ever since Lv Xin had entered the room, this bizarre warning sound hadn't ceased.

Yan Junze sat on the ground, propping himself up with his arms, slowly moving backward.

Seeing this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. The plan formed in his mind that morning seemed to be unfolding as expected at this moment.

The seed of this idea sprouted in Yan Junze's heart the moment he saw the Back-faced Woman at the bus stop.

According to the task's level, the mission involving the Back-faced Woman was classified as "hair-raising (low)," the most challenging one he'd encountered so far.

Therefore, Yan Junze had a strange thought that morning: in the absence of Zhang Xiaomo, he might be able to use the encounter between the Back-faced Woman and the Resentful Granny to his advantage.

Of course, the prerequisite was that there had to be a conflict of interest between them, like both targeting him, to ensure the two parties would clash and a fight would ensue.

But after several unforeseen mishaps, things had deviated from Yan Junze's expectations, yet, fortuitously, it had come full circle to this scene.

Wasn't this moment precisely the outcome he wanted?

What Yan Junze hadn't anticipated was that he would be cursed by the Back-faced Woman first, leaving his entire body covered in hair. Although the hair was very short and hadn't fully grown out yet, he was uncertain if it could be restored.

Luckily, the two extremely ferocious evil spirits were finally butting heads at this moment!

If they wanted to kill him, now was the perfect opportunity. The Resentful Granny wouldn't miss it, and the Back-faced Woman, still angry over the incident in the underground garage, similarly would not let him go.

Fine then, you fight, and whoever wins can have me!

The Back-faced Woman no longer gave any warnings, but Yan Junze felt a sense of familiarity with this scene.

Always emitting a warning sound as if he had a strangeness himself, also exhibiting the same behavior.

The warning ceased, and the Back-faced Woman moved step by step closer to the Resentful Granny, who had split her spirit into Lv Xin.

At this time, Lv Xin's body was bent in a shape reminiscent of the Resentful Granny, tensed all over, arms slightly apart, legs ready to leap at any moment, eyes warily fixed on the "retreating" Back-faced Woman.

The distance between the two rapidly closed in.

It was then that Yan Junze suddenly had an ominous premonition; he felt he must retreat, the farther the better.

The thought had just arisen, but it was already too late.

When the Back-faced Woman was about a meter away from the Resentful Granny, she suddenly accelerated. At that moment, the Resentful Granny's ghastly form fully emerged from Lv Xin's face, hideous and contorted, mouth wide open, letting out a piercing scream.

The two strangenesses collided with a bang. A mass of cloud-like energy exploded with a boom, unleashing a wave of air that shoved Yan Junze directly under the dining table.

Nearby shoe racks, sofas, coffee tables, and other items were overturned by the blast, either thrown high into the air before crashing down or smashed directly against the walls. The living room windows shattered in unison at that moment.

The powerful and eerie blast made it impossible for Yan Junze to keep his eyes open, but he strained to do so, eager to witness what seemed to be an extraordinarily thrilling battle.

Back-faced Woman VS Resentful Granny!

The violent sounds of impact and tearing ripped through the rolling mist, as the attacks from the two strangenesses were ferociously intense. Occasionally, the Back-faced Woman could be seen mounting one shoulder of Lv Xin, her fingers digging into his head.

Other times, Lv Xin could be seen pinning the Back-faced Woman to the ground with one knee, his hands fiercely yanking at her neck.

The harrowing screams followed one after the other, indistinguishable as to whom they belonged.

At this point, Yan Junze's living room was in complete disarray, unrecognizable from before.
