I can rewind time to prevent death

The faces of these five people could not be seen because they were wrapped in one, or even several, layers of shadow. These shadows undulated like smoke, enveloping the individuals while emitting a constant stream of black mist.

Woman No. 4 had exceptional eyesight, even better than that of Gao Meng; upon closer inspection, she noticed these five people weren't still but were shivering slightly, suggesting they might still be conscious or struggling, yet they were unable to break free.

Gao Meng said, "This must be the previous Exorcist team, let's go, but don't touch anything for now."

As he spoke, he and Woman No. 4 took the lead in descending the metal staircase. In reality, Woman No. 4 was the most elusive and quickest among them, being the first to stand beside the circle of shadows formed by the five figures.

As soon as Yan Junze saw these shadows, he pretty much understood the situation.

The aura emitted by these shadows was almost identical to the black mist that had possessed Ku Zai in the rental house earlier—only now, it appeared that the energy from this mist possessing five humans was much stronger.

It seemed that it wasn't a single Possession Spirit but several that had combined together.

From the circle formed by these five people, the others quickly noticed something amiss: the circle wasn't complete but had formed hastily amid an emergency situation.

One end of the circle protruded where the person in the first position had raised their right arm. They had merely placed their left hand on another person's shoulder while raising their right arm high as if preparing to do something. But in this situation, they were completely held at a standstill by the black mist.

"Don't touch anything; the Possession Spirit is formed from this kind of black mist," Gao Meng said, raising his hand to stop them.

In fact, no one would dare to touch it; those with Semi-Spirit Bodies must have all witnessed similar scenarios.

Man No. 1, who was obese, stumbled over to the figure with the raised right arm, looked up, and then pointed in its direction.

The others looked up and saw there was an electrical switch with a green light on beside it, indicating it was currently operational.

"The electrical switch!"

Gao Meng's eyes brightened, knowing that must be the emergency power switch. Otherwise, the trapped Exorcist team wouldn't have been standing in that spot, especially the person in the first position, who was likely trying to operate the switch.

"You have to press the red button beside the switch before you can pull it down," Woman No. 4 said.

However, the switch was placed high up, and even with arms stretched high, it was still slightly out of reach. It was unclear how it had been designed that way.

Gao Meng turned to Man No. 3, who walked with his body twisted backward. Without a word, Man No. 3 quickly scaled the wall.

As Man No. 2, who was climbing the ceiling, had not returned, Man No. 3 was left with the strongest climbing ability, despite his awkward posture.

Once close to the wall, with limbs and dislocated joints, he rapidly ascended the wall in a backward posture.

Reaching the electrical switch, he followed Woman No. 4's instructions, first pressing the red button and then gripping the switch, preparing to pull it down when suddenly his body shook violently.

Under the light of Yan Junze's flashlight, a mass of black mist surged out from the switch and quickly spread toward Man No. 3's arm.

Man No. 3's body immediately showed a stress response of a Semi-Spirit Body, as bone spurs burst through his skin at the joints, covering his entire body in a horrific form.

But even in this form, he could not escape the spread of the black mist.

Woman No. 4 instantly shifted into a shadowy state and leaped, reaching a height beyond that of an ordinary jump. Her shadowy arm solidified, grabbing Man No. 3's inverted ankle and yanking him down fiercely.

Man No. 3 fell immediately, but his arm trailed even longer and thicker black mist, which swiftly enveloped him.

At that moment, as a Semi-Spirit, Man No. 3 was not simply wrapped by the black mist but was directly devoured and began to rapidly dissolve.

Seeing something was wrong, Woman No. 4 let go upon reaching the ground, but the black mist formed its arm and violently grasped at her arm, seizing her firmly. The black mist then spread to her body.
