I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 247 - 235 Half a Hide (Part 2) (5000 words)

Chapter 247: Chapter 235 Half a Hide (Part 2) (5000 words)

Guo Youliang left in a hurry, while Yan Junze had originally thought he would help him.

However, Yan Junze didn’t know that Guo Youliang had a profound experience with the eeriness of the skin and the ruthlessness of ordinary exorcists. He had to drive them away before the skin attached itself to these people, otherwise more would die.

Seeing the four-star exorcists leave for the yard outside, Yan Junze immediately focused on how to deal with the skin.

The mission prompt stated that this creature needed to attach to 77 people to transform into a human shape and blend into human society. Since there had been four-star exorcists around, the skin hadn’t had the chance to fully attach to 77 people and absorb their essence qi.

Yan Junze was certain of this.

Nevertheless, the measures taken by Guo Youliang were also very drastic, because no other solution could be found in a short time, and once the skin attached, it was almost equivalent to death, he would simply kill the targeted victims.

The second mission prompt revealed that the weakness of the skin was the corpse of Mo Sheng, the former village chief’s granddaughter. As long as they found Mo Sheng, they could completely restrain the skin.

Remembering this, Yan Junze immediately staggered toward a crooked door near the latrine pits.

Because he had to focus most of his energy on resisting the skin, moving or speaking was difficult for him.

Soon after pushing open the door, he found a narrow path outside. Without hesitation, Yan Junze stepped out, shut the door behind him, and while walking, pulled out the Mo Family Village map from his backpack.

At this moment, he appeared very strange to any onlooker.

Because he was in a Semi-Spirit State, Yan Junze walked like the Back-faced Woman, moving forward in reverse, that is, walking backward. Moreover, his head was twisted 180 degrees, creating an eerie sight.

But the strangest part was the skin over his neck; it would wrinkle for a while, then become incredibly smooth, like a wet cloth laid over his face, constantly being wrung out and released, making him look like a mannequin.

There was a moment Yan Junze felt like taking out a small mirror to look at himself.

But considering the dangers, especially since he was in a Semi-Spirit State; if the Mirror Spirit in the small mirror accidentally injured him while combating the skin, what then?

This was not just speculation. It was highly likely that with the Mirror Spirit’s power, it would mistake him for the skin and the consequences would definitely not be as simple as one might imagine.

So Yan Junze suppressed the urge to pull out the small mirror and, looking at the temporary map of Mo Family Village, rapidly made his way in the right direction.

Although walking felt as if he were wobbling drunk, with the Back-faced Woman’s strength as the foundation, he was able to resist the skin’s erosion for a short time.

What’s more important was that the skin had already been injured by Guo Youliang earlier. Even though it was constantly attaching and absorbing essence qi, its power was definitely not at its peak.

Yan Junze quickly vanished after turning several winding paths and alleyways.

By the time Guo Youliang and the leading middle-aged man had quickly dispersed everyone to prevent them from being caught en masse by the skin, and the two returned to the latrine pits area, they found that Yan Junze had disappeared without a trace.

“Big Brother Guo, could he have been controlled by the skin?” the leading middle-aged man asked.

Guo Youliang shook his head slightly, “If he was attached by the skin, he could still speak; even if he were to be controlled, it wouldn’t happen so quickly.”

“What do we do now?”

“We’ll search around. I’ll circle the area outside the courtyard; I won’t go far. You keep watch over each person here, have them keep a close eye on each other, and immediately let me know at the slightest unusual sign.”

About one kilometer away from Little Wind Zhai, Yan Junze pushed open the door and walked into an old house.

The house didn’t have electricity, but thankfully it was daytime, and despite the mist, visibility was still possible.

According to the map, this was where a previous village chief had lived.

Of course, Yan Junze could not be certain that all the village chiefs had lived in the same place, but since only this location was marked on the map, he could only hope he wasn’t mistaken.

After entering the old house, the pressure from the skin suddenly increased, and the intense sense of merging resurfaced. For a moment, Yan Junze’s mind went blank, as if his consciousness had been stripped away.

He swayed on the spot, managing not to fall, and by now, black hair had grown all over his body, forming a dense layer covering his skin.

At that moment, Yan Junze had two perspectives; one of his own, and the other belonging to the Back-faced Woman.

Ever since the Back-faced Woman exerted her strength to help him combat the skin, she had stood still on that desolate street, completely focused.

Ke’er, seemingly unaware, scampered in front of the Back-faced Woman from time to time in her red dress, sometimes darting into the nearby shops, or rummaging in the old boxes, busily at work.

To her, this strange and deserted place seemed a source of joy, making it difficult for her to stay calm.

Suddenly his consciousness returned, and the Back-faced Woman’s power had once again held off the skin’s erosion.

The skin not only wanted to erode and control Yan Junze but was also locked in a stalemate with the Back-faced Woman, unable to free itself and leave.

Yan Junze stood at the doorway of the house for a long time before moving again. Sweat beads the size of beans had soaked his entire body, even drenching his clothes, but he did not stop.
