I can rewind time to prevent death

In the end, Bao Jie thoughtfully added subtitles to the segment where Yan Junze promoted himself, so others who saw the video on the "Open Your Eyes" platform could quickly search for Yan Junze\'s username—Night Traveling Puppy—based on the text.

Once the video was finished, the four of them gathered to watch it once through and found that the quality was quite decent. The content successfully piqued curiosity, especially since Yan Junze left the cause of Granny Ren\'s death a mystery at the end, undoubtedly attracting viewers to comment below.

Originally, Yan Junze\'s completion of "The Old Woman Knocking at Mid-Night" task had taken more than 20 minutes. However, after video editing, it was just over 13 minutes, making the plot tighter.

"Bao Jie, you might as well apply to a film academy to study directing or editing," Zhou Dali exclaimed from the side.

"Our Bao Jie could not only study directing but could also be an actress. With that face and figure, she\'s definitely got an edge!" Jiang Ruixin said with a smile.

"Yeah, absolutely," Zhou Dali nodded vigorously. "Future top horror film director of Great Capital\'s Huaying—Bao Jie. Why top? Because her movies will feature real ghosts. Hehehe..."

"You\'re dead!" The two girls exclaimed in unison, cursing him.

"Oh, right." Jiang Ruixin suddenly gasped and reminded Bao Jie, "Didn\'t you have plans with Zhou Jiajie?"

"Ah..." Stunned, Bao Jie quickly checked the time, closed her laptop, handed the phone with the copied video back to Yan Junze, packed up her stuff, and ran out with her backpack.

"Damn it." Zhou Dali\'s face turned green. Once Bao Jie left the classroom, he grumbled resentfully, "If it weren\'t for Zhou Jiajie\'s dad being in the city hall, I\'d take that kid out sooner or later!"

Jiang Ruixin pressed her lips together and snickered.

Yan Junze just patted Zhou Dali on the shoulder, "To make cowardice and incompetence sound so righteous, you won\'t find a second one in the whole school."

Yan Junze had never been optimistic about Bao Jie liking Zhou Jiajie, but it wasn\'t his place to get involved in other people\'s business.

Of course, another reason was that his relationship with Bao Jie was only mediocre, not close enough to warrant his interference.

When Yan Junze got home, he took advantage of his parents not being back yet to upload the video to the "Open Your Eyes" platform. He checked and saw the current view count was "1".

That "1" was his own click, but Yan Junze wasn\'t in a hurry. After leaving the platform, he ran into the bathroom to wash his hair, deliberately spending an extra two minutes to give Ke\'er on his back something to enjoy.

Indeed, hearing the continuous "eh... eh... eh" from behind his neck while washing his hair turned out to be quite an interesting experience. At least, it wasn\'t as boring and dull as before.

Yan Junze spent the extra minutes catering to Ke\'er because he had a feeling that something unexpected might have happened while combing Granny Ren\'s hair during "The Old Woman Knocking at Mid-Night" task. At that moment, Ke\'er, lying on his back, seemed to "wake up."

Although he didn\'t know if Ke\'er\'s "awakening" was linked to that incident, Yan Junze had a hunch that Ke\'er\'s actions weren\'t without reason.

Otherwise, he might have had to use the Rewind.

After washing his hair, the Spacetime Atlas suddenly displayed a line of text.

[Ke\'er (Wandering Spirit) favorability has increased, current favorability: Friendly]

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment, then he realized that since Ke\'er began clinging to his back, up until today, he had probably washed his hair about ten times.

Without fail, Ke\'er had watched him wash his hair (including bathing), and now she had finally made progress, their relationship between human and strangeness had begun to turn friendly.

If he were to guess, this favorability started at "Neutral," then below that might be "Hostile," and above is "Friendly." He just didn\'t know if there were any more extreme attitudes, like "Hatred" or something.

If there was, he definitely didn\'t want to encounter a strangeness that "Hated" him in the future; otherwise, it would be a disaster no matter where he went.

Late in the day, his parents came back one after the other.

After closing the door, his mother Li Man didn\'t immediately go to the kitchen to get busy but sat down with Yan Daguo on the living room sofa, pulling Yan Junze to join them, their expressions grave.

"Son, you must not pass by building number five when you go out from now on!" Li Man said with a tense expression.

"What\'s the matter, Mom?" Yan Junze asked, puzzled.

"That woman in white was just discovered standing outside building number five, her back to the road, facing the building," said Yan Daguo.

"What?" Yan Junze exclaimed in surprise, "The Back-faced Woman has come out? She\'s left her active area!"

"Back-faced Woman??" Yan Daguo repeated the term his son blurted out, nodding, "That\'s quite an apt name. Yes, this Back-faced Woman seems to have a broader range of activity than just building number five."

Li Man took over, "At noon, just as Uncle Wang from the third floor of our building was going out, he happened to encounter the Ba... Back-faced Woman right outside building number five. At that time, Uncle Wang turned completely purple for some reason. By the time he was found, hair had grown out of his mouth, ears, and nostrils..."

"Old Wang from next door!?" Yan Junze exclaimed in shock, "How is he now?"

Li Man gave her son a displeased look and continued, "He was taken away by an ambulance."

"That\'s for the best," Yan Daguo said, patting his thigh, "If this Back-faced Woman has too large an area of activity, it means she\'s very dangerous. Exorcists will pay more attention and send someone to deal with her much faster."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Could she not be dangerous?" Yan Junze pondered to himself.

The task named "Look at Her Face" involving the Back-faced Woman was already rated "Hair-raising (Low)", which was the highest and most dangerous one among the tasks he had detected so far.

This meant that Yan Junze did not currently want to complete this mission. If possible, he would first check out the Jianye Building across the street to resolve "Peeking From the Crack in the Wall."

After that, he would tackle the mission "Reflection Under the Moonlight" in the neighboring complex, and only then might he attempt to deal with the Back-faced Woman.

The task "Look at Her Face" should be avoided as much as possible right now, just like his mother Li Man said; upon leaving the building, head straight through the opposite building number six and then exit the complex through buildings number four and two, temporarily avoiding the side near building number five.

After their conversation, the couple went about their separate tasks; Li Man returned to the bedroom, opened the video she had uploaded to check it out, saw only seven views, not a single comment, and, bored to death, closed the platform again.
