I can rewind time to prevent death

Throughout this process, Yan Junze had been fixedly staring at Zhou Dali.

Our comrade Dali opened his mouth, then quickly realized something and hastily closed it again.

The three of them were somewhat puzzled. Listening to the voice, the person outside didn\'t sound like a ghost, but rather a young man; yet, why wouldn\'t Yan Junze let them respond?

Although no answer was given, the person outside didn\'t leave but instead reached out and grabbed the doorknob, giving it a twist.

The door didn\'t open.

Because inside, Yan Junze was gripping the handle with both hands, preventing it from turning.

"I know there\'s someone inside. What were you smashing down here just now? Open the door quickly, it\'s dangerous here with all the strangeness, you shouldn\'t linger!" The person\'s voice rose suddenly, as if warning them.

"Why aren\'t you opening the door?" Bao Jie asked in a hushed, anxious voice.

"Right, the person should be the building\'s duty guard," Jiang Ruixin added.

Only Zhou Dali kept his mouth shut, obedient under Yan Junze\'s dominance.

At this moment, Yan Junze also felt puzzled. The voice clearly belonged to the young security guard, and it made sense for him to have discovered them. There were no apparent flaws in his reasoning.

Was it really a mistake when he rushed into the opposite room alone earlier? Did he not only trap himself but lead everyone into this predicament?

Unable to come up with an answer, the knocking became more urgent.

Yan Junze decided to open the door.

Standing at the door was the same young security guard.

The guard shined his flashlight around, and upon seeing so many people in the room, he unsurprisingly jumped in shock. Then he noticed the mummified corpse inside.

"Holy shit, there\'s... a body! This place... it\'s haunted, what are you doing here? There\'s nothing of value, everyone out, follow me upstairs now!" He was clearly terrified.

"No, we must take the body with us," Yan Junze flatly refused.

"Is it... its eyes are open, so scary. Can we close the body\'s eyes?" The young guard retracted the beam of his flashlight, shivering as he spoke.

"The body is mummified, the eyes can\'t be closed anymore." This time, Yan Junze answered for Bao Jie.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"No, you can wrap something around the eyes! Should have thought of this earlier, otherwise what\'s the point of letting them stare into space?" Zhou Dali, just like before, slapped his thigh and turned to look for a piece of cloth.

"But we don\'t have any cloth..."

Jiang Ruixin had barely started speaking when the sound of tearing fabric came; Zhou Dali himself had ripped a piece from the clothes he had given her.

"This shirt is mine," Zhou Dali said, seeing Jiang Ruixin\'s displeased look and hurriedly explaining.

"Try tearing it again and see what happens!" Jiang Ruixin\'s eyes began to bulge, frightening Zhou Dali into hastily retreating, unable to meet her gaze.

This time, perhaps cowed by Jiang Ruixin\'s intimidation, Zhou Dali didn\'t ask Yan Junze to act but instead went over to the corpse and wrapped its eyes himself, tying a knot at the back of its head.

"That should do it."

The young security guard at the door breathed a sigh of relief and pointed with his flashlight down the hallway towards the corner, "Leave this place with me first, after we get out I\'ll immediately notify my colleagues to come here, and then we\'ll call the police to handle the body."

This time, Yan Junze didn\'t immediately speak. Instead, he began listening intently, his focus directed towards the opposite room with the open door.

"What do we do now?" Seeing Yan Junze not answering, Bao Jie and the others didn\'t dare make a decision for him and all looked at him.

The young guard was also watching him, clearly aware that he was the leader among the four.

"No, we must carry the body out ourselves," Yan Junze said after a moment, shaking his head.

The guard seemed a bit helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to say something when he suddenly startled, turned around, and called out, "Who\'s in there?"

As his words fell, he shone his flashlight towards the opposite side and immediately charged into the pitch-black room.

A moment later, sounds of scuffling and collisions came from the room.

"Nobody is allowed to follow!"

Yan Junze suddenly spread out his hands, blocking Zhou Dali, who was eager to try, as if he had already anticipated this scene.

He had been listening intently for any abnormal sounds coming from the room across, but until the security guard had called out, he hadn\'t heard anything.

It was impossible for only the security guard to hear it; at this moment, he was certain the suspiciousness lay not in the room across but rather on this young security guard.

Just then, the security guard\'s voice came from the pitch-black room, "Come quickly, I need help!"

Zhou Dali was startled, but his arm was abruptly seized by Yan Junze, "Do you trust me or not?"

Zhou Dali was stunned for a moment, nodded his head, but he was still ready to go into the room to help.

It seemed like the young security guard in the room couldn\'t subdue the other person. With his own brute strength, there was no reason not to go and help. Moreover, since that person was grappling with the security guard, it meant the situation wasn\'t due to any strangeness.

If it was a person, Zhou Dali had nothing to fear.

"Trust me, we can\'t go in," Yan Junze asserted decisively, "Now help me lift this corpse, we must leave at once."

"But isn\'t the security guard in danger?" Zhou Dali and Bao Jie exclaimed in unison.

"We\'ll talk about it once we get upstairs!" Yan Junze raised his voice, "Once we\'re up, we\'ll notify the security at the entrance to come and assist in a team, this place is very dangerous right now."

Zhou Dali hesitated.

Bao Jie just held the camera and said no more.

Jiang Ruixin had been silent the entire time, contemplating.

At that moment, the room across returned to silence, with no sound coming out.

Zhou Dali couldn\'t help but shout, "Security brother, what\'s the situation now?"

No one answered.

It was as if there was never anyone in that room.

"It seems... a bit eerie," Zhou Dali muttered to himself, feeling somewhat afraid.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Dali took the body\'s shoulders, Yan Junze took the feet, and the two led the way out of the room into the corridor, with Bao Jie continuing to film behind, while Jiang Ruixin, at Yan Junze\'s request, walked backward, facing away, cautiously illuminating behind them with the flashlight.

Actually, the body wasn\'t very heavy. If Zhou Dali alone shouldered it, they could move faster, but Zhou Dali flat-out refused to carry a dead body.

Yan Junze had a rather slight build and didn\'t know how far he could carry the corpse on his own, but time was of the essence, and it was faster for two people to carry it together.

They soon reached the corner of the corridor, and turning the corner would bring them to the main door at the end of the hallway. Once through the main door and up the stairs, they would have left the basement level.

However, just after they passed the corner of the corridor, Yan Junze suddenly halted, stopping in his tracks.

"What\'s going on?" Zhou Dali asked from behind, puzzled.

Bao Jie and Jiang Ruixin also looked over with faces full of confusion.

Yan Junze didn\'t answer; he just tilted his head slightly so that the people behind could clearly see the "thing" he was looking at.

They could see a vague figure lying on the ground near the big door of the corridor, limbs bent at strange angles.

The light from the flashlight, shining towards the shadow, seemed to be swallowed, unable to reveal any details of its appearance.

Then, the shadow began to move at an exceedingly slow pace, crawling into a room closer to the main door of the corridor.

That room number was supposed to be 017.

After the shadow entered the room, all the doors along both sides of the corridor suddenly slammed open, revealing the pitch-black spaces within.
