I can rewind time to prevent death

Wan Shouguang looked surprised but did not ask any more questions.

When Yan Junze returned to the front gate of the villa, he did not go in but said goodbye to the couple, saying he would leave Huaying District tomorrow and come back next month with the money to seek Wan Shouguang's help.

Neither Wan Shouguang nor Liu Jialan tried to persuade him to stay, as it was indeed not feasible to have an exorcist remain at their home indefinitely, which could easily give them away.

Once they were inside and had secured the courtyard door, upon entering the living room, they found Wan Cong sitting on the sofa watching television, as if he was not concerned about being discovered.

"Why are you out?" Liu Jialan exclaimed in surprise.

Wan Cong glanced at the two and did not reply.

Wan Shouguang said nothing but gestured toward the upstairs master bedroom, signaling Liu Jialan to follow him up.

The two of them quickly went upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door behind them. During this process, Wan Cong did not seem to notice what they were doing.

In the bedroom, Wan Shouguang whispered to Liu Jialan, "I suspect Yan Junze has noticed the anomalies in our house. That kid is somewhat shrewd."

"Ah! What shall we do?" Liu Jialan exclaimed in alarm.

"It's late now. Book the earliest flight for tomorrow, and we'll go stay in our old home in Aries District for a while," Wan Shouguang instructed.

His ancestral home was in Aries District, and there was a family house in the countryside there. No one had lived in it since Wan Shouguang moved out; it had been empty, making it suitable for their current living situation, where they were unlikely to be discovered.

Liu Jialan immediately started booking plane tickets on her cell phone.

Wan Shouguang walked to the bedroom door, opened it a crack, and looked toward the downstairs living room.

At that moment, Wan Cong was still sitting on the sofa watching television with no abnormalities.

If someone unaware entered the house at that moment, they would never guess he was a resurrected person, as he acted exactly like a normal person.

Wan Cong had been behaving well in the past few days, seemingly adjusting to his Resurrection and the early days' anomalous behavior. Wan Shouguang felt his son was slowly getting used to the fact of his own Resurrection.

However, the words Yan Junze had spoken before leaving had filled Wan Shouguang with a sense of unease.

He didn't know why Yan Junze had said that, but it was clear the other party must have seen or guessed something, leading to those vague words.

Drawing his gaze back, Wan Shouguang gently closed the bedroom door.

Just as he closed the door, Wan Cong, seated on the living room sofa and watching television, silently lifted his head and glanced in the direction of the upstairs master bedroom, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion.

"I've booked the tickets, an eight o'clock flight tomorrow morning, using your top-level Exorcist Travel Permit, which waives the need for identity registration and allows direct boarding," Liu Jialan said after hanging up the phone.

Wan Shouguang nodded, "Starting now, we won't leave the house. Go prepare dinner. After eating, let's all rest early and leave home two hours before dawn."

"Alright," Liu Jialan said nothing more and went downstairs to start cooking.

Everything was quite peaceful that night. Wan Cong watched television for a while and even went to the kitchen to help Liu Jialan wash vegetables and fetch dishes, surprising his parents with his behavior.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after packing their luggage, the family went to bed early.

Before sleeping, Wan Shouguang cautioned his son, "I know you're not sleepy, but stay in your room tonight and don't wander about. We are leaving early tomorrow to return to the old house in Aries."

"Mhm," Wan Cong nodded, saying nothing more.

Wan Shouguang left his son's bedroom, thought for a moment, took out a key, and locked the bedroom door from the outside, pocketing the key before returning to the master bedroom.

After closing the door and shutting off the lights in the bedroom, Wan Shouguang lay in bed and exchanged a few words with Liu Jialan before soft snoring could be heard.

Since it was in the suburbs, after nightfall, the villa's exterior was also quiet, making it a very suitable place for those who enjoyed tranquility.

No lights were turned on outside the villa, just the faint illumination of street lamps a little distance away. If someone pulled back the curtains, they could make use of that light to see.

After a while, the sleeping Wan Shouguang abruptly woke up. He groggily opened his eyes, thinking it was dawn outside, but on closer inspection, it was still night.

After muttering softly, he turned over, intending to fall back asleep.

Just then, an extremely faint rustling sound reached his ears.

Wan Shouguang slightly lifted his head and saw his wife sleeping soundly, not awakened by the noise, which seemed to be coming from outside the bedroom.

Since he had locked his son's bedroom door, even if Wan Cong was awake, he could not be moving about the hallway.

Wan Shouguang thought he had misheard, perhaps it was just the cold wind rustling the branches outside.

He laid his head back down on the pillow, about to close his eyes, when the rustling sound happened again, this time clearly coming from the hallway outside the bedroom door.

Wan Shouguang paused, then heard the lock on the master bedroom door click, and it opened.

At that moment, Wan Shouguang's entire body broke out in goosebumps, and his scalp tingled as he propped himself up slightly on the bed, peering towards the doorway.

The bedroom door had cracked open, but no one could be seen entering, and the hallway outside was pitch dark, unlit.

Wan Shouguang lay there motionless, with eyes wide open, staring at the door, his breathing starting to quicken.
