I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 385: Open Your Eyes (Part 1) (5000 words)



The loud noise just now startled the other residents, and the landlady living on the first floor was also scared out of her wits, frantically running upwards.

Xiang Er, due to her strong constitution, was likely unharmed by just an impact.

Yan Junze quickly lifted Ku Zai from the ground and placed him on the bed. Just as he was about to turn around and check on Xiang Er outside, the landlady's scream came from outside the room.

The middle-aged woman cried out in terror, "It's terrible, someone's dead!"

Yan Junze was startled, and in a few steps, he walked out of the shabby door only to see Xiang Er curled up on the ground, having reverted to her original appearance, with her hair already receded back.

But at this moment, our landlady was already scared pale, one hand pressing on the position of Xiang Er's carotid artery, her whole being hysterical, frantically shouting.

There was no helping it, this was her house after all, and now that someone was apparently dead, it directly threw the landlady into complete chaos.

Xiang Er was curled up on the ground, with no pulse in her carotid artery and skin ice-cold; from any aspect, it proved that she was as dead as one could be.

So it was certain that the landlady was frightened at the moment.

Only when Yan Junze stepped forward and sensed for a moment, did he find that Xiang Er's familiar magnetic field was still there and very stable.

He calmed down.

Xiang Er was originally very strong, and even if the impact of the black gas struck her after she withdrew her hands, it might not even have caused her any injury.

The landlady, seeing Yan Junze come out, bellowed, "Look at what you've done... What the hell are you guys up to? How did you blow up the house? And killed someone to boot! My God, what am I going to do..."

"Can you get up by yourself?" Yan Junze spoke, but not to the landlady. Instead, he was addressing the curled-up Xiang Er.

Xiang Er opened her eyes, propped herself up with her hands, and slowly sat up, nodding slightly, "I'm fine."

"Ah!" The landlady was taken aback, almost jumping up, and looked at Xiang Er in terror.

"She has a condition, she gets ice cold all over when she's stressed." Yan Junze explained and then pointed inside the room, "They were using the gas stove just now and there was an accident, but nobody is hurt, I've checked. I'll compensate you for the damages here, not a penny less."

Compared to someone being blown to death and the house damaged, causing her heavy losses, the landlady was more inclined to believe Yan Junze's "reasonable" explanation.

As long as the house was still intact, no one dead, and she had no losses, everything could be handled.

The landlady's expression became puzzled, and she took a serious look at Xiang Er again. She wanted to reach out and touch Xiang Er but, after some thought, withdrew her hand.

The other tenants also gathered around, peering into the doorway. They saw a person lying on the bed, and kitchen utensils scattered all over the floor, the wooden chairs and table toppling, but the room itself was not damaged.

It indeed looked as if something inside had exploded.

"It's fine, it's all fine, everyone disperse." The landlady, fearing bad influence from her rental would make it hard to lease out again, hurriedly waved her hands.

At this time, Xiang Er had already walked into the room as if nothing had happened and sat on the edge of the bed, looking towards Ku Zai.

Ku Zai's complexion was as pale as paper, his brows deeply furrowed, looking to be in pain, barely stopping himself from moaning.

"His magnetic field is very chaotic." Turning her head, Xiang Er whispered to Yan Junze.

"You sort out his magnetic field." Yan Junze said, "His body is not injured."

Xiang Er nodded, and by now, the fierce landlady had chased off the onlookers downstairs. Soon she poked her head through the doorway, not entering, and asked, "That friend on the bed, he isn't in any trouble, right?"

Yan Junze shook his head, "No trouble, he just fainted from the scare."

"That's good, that's good, drink more hot water." The landlady squeezed out a smile, "Be more careful with electricity and gas in daily life."

After a pause, she added, "I'll get someone to come clean up around here."

Yan Junze replied with a smile, "Alright, I'll cover the cleaning costs, thank you for your trouble, sorry about this!"

The landlady left.

Yan Junze returned to the bedside, picked up Ku Zai's mobile phone, and checked it; sure enough, the phone was on and still in video playback mode.

But the video had already finished playing, and Yan Junze turned off the phone directly.

Addressing Xiang Er, he asked, "The Possession Spirit, why was it so powerful? You could only just hold your own against it."

At that moment, Xiang Er was reaching out to hold Ku Zai's forehead and replied, "That wasn't the Possession Spirit's true body, just an... Avatar. It must have used some sort of medium to transfer this Avatar onto Ku Zai."

"What!?" Yan Junze was taken aback.

Xiang Er continued, "This Avatar is connected to the main body, and when I confronted it just now, I could feel the strength of the main body, it was terrifying."

"Just an Avatar, and it was already so formidable!" Yan Junze exclaimed, shaking his head.

At that moment, he was reminded of the altar in the Great Capital of the USA, where a powerful Possession Spirit had been summoned, and also recalled the other Dark Poison Possession Spirits affiliated with it.

Those Possession Spirits were also capable of using electronic signals, causing people at the Exorcist Brigade in Huaying Great Capital to succumb to the Dark Poison and die.

Now he wasn't sure whether the true body of the black gas from just now was an underling Possession Spirit or the even more powerful Possession Spirit summoned from the altar.

If an underling Possession Spirit was already so formidable, how terrifying must that summoned Possession Spirit be?

Before long, the landlady had someone come to clean the debris and found someone on the street corner to make a cheap replacement door and install it.
