I can rewind time to prevent death

Time rewound to the moment before.

After encountering Di Zhiwen in the aisle, the air hostess dressed in a light blue uniform courteously stepped aside; her name tag bore three characters: Guan Hongna.

As they brushed past each other, Di Zhiwen also responded with a smile.

Once the passenger had passed, Guan Hongna continued through the aisle to the elevator leading to the cargo hold below, pressed the elevator button, and the doors opened immediately as it was already on that level.

Guan Hongna stepped in and pressed the button marked "B", the elevator doors closed and began to descend.

Seconds later, the elevator came to a halt with a ding, and as it sensed someone's presence, the cargo hold lit up automatically with incandescent motion lights that cascaded down, illuminating every corner as if it were broad daylight.

Guan Hongna had come to the cargo hold to get a box of orange juice for the catering area. Upon entering, she casually pulled a small and refined trolley from the side and made her way to the beverage storage area.

She first wrote a line in the register, leaving a record of her retrieval.

Then, pushing the trolley, she arrived in front of a tall shelving unit. Normally, the orange juice was placed on the first level, easily reachable by hand.

However, after looking for a while, Guan Hongna noticed that only bread and biscuits were on the bottom shelf. Looking up, she saw several boxes of orange juice placed on the third level.

She didn't know who had stacked it this way during loading, as it wasn't allowed by regulations since it made retrieval difficult, yet no one had noticed this during inspection.

Guan Hongna furrowed her brows and turned to see a sliding A-frame ladder nearby. She glanced down at her skirt.

The ladder's steps were quite far apart, and climbing it would be inconvenient in a skirt, but inconvenience didn't mean it couldn't be done.

Guan Hongna pulled the ladder over, looked around, and slightly lifted her skirt's hem so she could have a greater stride when climbing. Then she began to ascend.

Although climbing in high heels wasn't easy, she had no choice at the moment. With great care, Guan Hongna climbed to the second-to-top rung of the ladder and stood in place.

She gently rocked side to side; the ladder was stable, and even when applying some force, it wouldn't slip.

Guan Hongna stood upright and reached up with both hands to retrieve a small box of orange juice.

The orange juice was packed four bottles to a box, and the box wasn't very large or heavy, so Guan Hongna didn't think to ask for help.

At that moment, she had already lifted the box above her head, carefully holding it and slowly lowering her arms.

Just as it reached the height level with her head, her left hand suddenly slipped, and the box holding the orange juice tilted to the left.

Guan Hongna cried out, instinctively lunging forward to try to catch the box, but both feet twisted in her high heels, and she tumbled over the other side of the ladder.

Not only did she fail to catch the box of orange juice, but Guan Hongna's body completely flipped over, and her head plummeted downward, crashing with a smack onto the third step of the opposite side of the ladder, producing a crisp cracking sound.

By then, her body had completely turned over, and after the initial contact point, she slid rapidly down the ladder, nearly falling until her head struck the second rung.

Already unconscious, Guan Hongna's mouth hung open, blood pouring out, while her chin caught on a protruding piece of metal from the second rung.

As her body continued to descend, the metal hook snagged her chin tightly, tearing a gash, leaving her chin stuck on the position of the second rung while her body lay on the ground, blood flowing like a fountain.

Seconds later, her horrific body began to twitch as the blood seeped out, staining the entire area red.

A pendant slipped from the blood-soaked collar of Guan Hongna's neck.

It was a gold-plated turquoise pendant, with the turquoise gemstone in the middle shaped like a lozenge, soon submerged by the blood.

At that moment, a faint green glow flew out from the turquoise, penetrating into Guan Hongna's convulsing corpse.

...

"Strangenesses?"

Upon hearing Di Zhiwen's words, Yan Junze was astonished.

He knew well that the cleansing of strangenesses on flights was thorough, with almost constant checks in progress.

If there were strangenesses aboard the plane, it was highly probable that the entity was newly born, or that it was so powerful it had evaded detection by the Exorcist's Spirit Detector and multiple inspections.

But if that were the case, Yan Junze wasn't sure if he could handle it.

And if it were a newly born strangeness, he was somewhat puzzled about what could have caused its emergence, and why it would appear so quickly.

However, Yan Junze knew that usually, there was an Exorcist guarding a passenger jet.

Exorcists on this level of aircraft were at least two-star, but since the plane was flying to the central city of Huaying District in the Great Capital, he guessed this plane's Exorcist must be at least three-star.

"There should be an Exorcist on the plane," Yan Junze said.

Di Zhiwen immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, just now an Exorcist dressed in black saved me. He had that kind of knife, a knife specifically for killing strangenesses, and with one slice, he split that air hostess in half."

"Was the strangeness an air hostess before?" Yan Junze asked, somewhat surprised.

Di Zhiwen nodded, "It should be, I thought at first it was the one I saw before going to the bathroom, but it didn't look quite the same afterward. The strangeness's chin had fallen off, it was horrifying."
