I can rewind time to prevent death

Only Yan Junze turned his flashlight around, keeping an eye on the direction where the dry corpse lay.

No sound emerged; Zhou Dali, who had entered the opposite room, disappeared as if a drop of water had fallen into the ocean without causing a single ripple.

"Dali!" Yan Junze turned his head and called out tentatively.

There was no movement in the pitch-dark room.

"What do we do?" Jiang Ruixin turned her head and looked at Yan Junze anxiously. "Could it be that Dali is so mighty that as soon as he entered, he took down the opponent?"

"Impossible." Yan Junze shook his head. "That guy exaggerates his movements, acting frivolously. Even if he could easily subdue the opponent, he would deliberately roar twice to prove to us how badass he is."

"Then what\'s going on? Who\'s going to go check it out now?" Bao Jie, standing to the side with the camera, was obviously trembling.

Just then, the young security guard\'s voice rang out again: "Where is everyone? Why won\'t more people come and help?"

It seemed that after meeting up with Zhou Dali, he must have had some effect, at least managing to suppress the other party.

"Bao Jie, come with me," Yan Junze glanced at the dry corpse lying not far behind on the ground, then instructed Jiang Ruixin: "Ruixin, you stay here. If the dry corpse makes any movement, use your eyes to glare at it."

Jiang Ruixin shuddered with fear: "But his eyes are wrapped up with cloth, I can\'t glare at him!"

"How about you tear off the cloth? In case he moves, it\'s easier for you to glare at him," Yan Junze suggested, with no hint of jest.

"Tear your sister! I\'m not tearing it, it\'s good this way," Jiang Ruixin shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"When Bao Jie stands at the door of the opposite room, I\'ll be the one to go inside. You\'ll be able to see her, so both of you will have someone looking out for the other."

Yan Junze shrugged his shoulders and gave Jiang Ruixin one more instruction before he and Bao Jie approached the opposite side one after the other.

The flashlight shone inside the room, revealing only about two or three meters ahead; beyond that, it was swallowed by thick darkness, obscuring the inside completely.

The situation was somewhat eerie.

Yan Junze hesitated at the doorway, then checked the rewind line in his mind through Inner Vision, 17 minutes left.

If he encountered danger, he could rewind freely within this time frame back to any moment he wished.

That should be enough to handle the risk.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Junze, flashlight in hand, allowed Bao Jie to illuminate him from behind using the camera\'s light as he stepped inside the room.

From Bao Jie\'s perspective, the moment Yan Junze entered the room, a dense darkness enveloped him instantly, as if swallowing him whole, along with the flashlight beam, which vanished rapidly.

"Yan Junze!" Bao Jie was startled and quickly called out loudly.

The reply to her call was utter silence.

Bao Jie\'s heart nearly stopped beating from fear, and she stomped her foot anxiously, "Yan Junze, respond to me! Where are you?"

The light from the camera and flashlight only reached just beyond the door; they could penetrate no deeper into that ink-like blackness.

"What\'s happening?" Jiang Ruixin stood at the entrance of Storage Room No. 004, her face filled with astonishment, "Did he just disappear after walking in?"

"No... he\'s gone, and he didn\'t answer me," Bao Jie\'s voice was on the verge of tears.

"Should I come over and take a look?" Jiang Ruixin proposed.

Ever since tasting the fruit of victory, she had come to consider her "Glaring Eyes Mastery" as the first triumphant measure against strangeness.

"You should still watch out for the one behind you..."

Before Bao Jie could finish speaking, the camera she was holding seemed to be grabbed by something. Standing at the door, she was suddenly dragged into the room by a strong force. The second half of her sentence, her even a cry for help, never had the chance to be vocalized.

A piercing scream erupted from Jiang Ruixin, resonating throughout the corridor. Accompanied by the scream, her back tensed, and her clothes contracted backwards as if a huge hand had seized the back of her shirt.

The next second, Jiang Ruixin\'s flashlight dropped, she was yanked into Storage Room No. 004, and the door slammed shut with a bang.

The basement returned to silence.

The damp odor seemed to have thickened compared to when they had first arrived.

Inside the room.

The thick darkness enveloped Yan Junze.

No matter which direction he walked, everything before his eyes was pitch-black, and the flashlight in his hand had eerily gone out, completely refusing to turn on.

Could it be that this house was also haunted? Hadn\'t the body already been dug up? Why was it still like this?

A multitude of questions rose in his heart. Standing still, Yan Junze didn\'t dare to move recklessly for the time being.

First, that young security guard had appeared, and then the abnormalities in this house were discovered—suddenly things had become bizarre.

If a noise suddenly came from within this house, the guard\'s reaction shouldn\'t have been to pounce in directly but to instinctively jump in fright and then retreat immediately.

This wasn\'t the reaction of a normal person.

In a place haunted by strangenesses, being able to hear a noise in the dark and lunge at it with such eagerness, such a matter-of-course attitude, such heedlessness was probably something only an idiot exorcist like Huang Chen would do.

So, the actions of this security guard were indeed abnormal.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was proven that a person\'s thinking could only emit powerful operational capabilities in an exceptionally quiet place. And at this moment, that was exactly the case for Yan Junze.

He hated himself for not thinking of this sooner. Now, he had walked straight into the tiger\'s den. The hope of escaping this room easily and getting out seemed bleak.

Zhou Dali was very likely practicing the mighty punches of his ancestor, Zhou Shentong, by now.

Yes, Zhou Heng had an ancestor in the local area who was quite famous—a man named Zhou Shentong, not to be confused with Zhou Botong. The man knew nothing of the Ambidextrous Combat Technique, but Zhou Shentong was indeed built like a tiger, with a bear\'s back—tallying with his formidable reputation for his punching skill.

Yan Junze suspected that Zhou Heng\'s nickname, Dali, probably had much to do with inheriting this ancestor\'s genes.

Pity about the lost inheritance of intelligence, otherwise he wouldn\'t have foolishly followed that suspicious security guard into the house.

Just then, Ke\'er, who lay on Yan Junze\'s back, stirred, and an inexplicable sense of crisis descended.

Yan Junze couldn\'t help but step back twice.

In the darkness, his foot suddenly stepped on the instep of another foot. It seemed like someone had been standing not far behind him all along, and they had finally bumped into each other by accident.

Ke\'er, lying on his back, issued a dull roar that Yan Junze had never heard before, like an agitated wolf-dog warning the other with a low growl.

The next second, Ke\'er sprung up and lunged out.

Yan Junze couldn\'t see anything, so he quickly turned around to face the direction Ke\'er had pounced toward.

Thud!

A loud sound of something hitting the wall echoed from not too far away.

The outcome was unknown.

Yan Junze\'s heart was in turmoil, but no other sounds came through afterward.

Ke\'er\'s favorability towards him had already become "friendly", otherwise, she wouldn\'t have taken the initiative to lunge at that shadow in the dark.

After waiting a moment, Yan Junze couldn\'t help but call out, "Ke\'er."

Clap, a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind.

This hand was large, not that of a child.

After sensing the size of the hand, Yan Junze knew the outcome of Ke\'er\'s charge.

His heart immediately sank to the bottom.

Without any hesitation, a resolutely strong thought appeared in his mind.

Rewind!

Everything became a blur before his eyes once again saw light.

It was the light from the flashlight.

He, along with Zhou Dali, Bao Jie, and Jiang Ruixin, were all standing behind the door of storage room 004, listening intently to the footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Yan Junze\'s face darkened as he lowered his voice and said to everyone, "None of you answer to anyone outside later, and if anyone dares to respond, I\'ll fucking strangle him!"

The other three all looked bewildered.

"Just give a caution, what are you staring at me for?" Zhou Dali felt inexplicably wronged as he stared at Yan Junze, feeling he\'d been gravely insulted.
