I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 720 - 425 Ghost Apartment (Part Three)_2
Chapter 720: Chapter 425: Ghost Apartment (Part Three)_2 Chapter 720: Chapter 425: Ghost Apartment (Part Three)_2 At this time, I must remain calm and cannot afford to make any mistakes. I can’t allow myself to panic.
Morrison forced himself to regain his composure, feeling a sense of amazement inside. He couldn’t believe that Jacob’s strength had become so formidable that even he, the Reaper, could be caught in an illusion akin to “going in circles.”
It seems that it would take Mr. Landon himself to deal with this guy!
With that thought, he immediately turned around and stepped back into the bedroom, ready to check the situation there first.
The next second, the scene before his eyes shifted, and he was still standing in the living room, but at the doorway leading to the corridor, with his back to the corridor and facing the living room.
Realizing he was still in the same space, Morrison’s face turned pale instantly.
Damn, that’s a seriously powerful “going in circles”!
Refusing to believe it, he turned and stepped towards the corridor again.
The scenery changed, and he found himself inside the living room, with the bedroom behind him.
This time, Morrison walked straight ahead, reached the doorway from the living room to the corridor, stepped out, and once again returned to the living room outside the bedroom.
I can’t get out!
A surge of rage rose inside Morrison. He refused to believe that he could be trapped by a strangeness.
The magnetic fields around his body twisted and transformed into a Magnetic Field Storm, heading straight for the window at the back of the apartment building.
Judging by past attacks, not just this window, but even the Corpse Bride and the coffin behind her would be torn into shreds in an instant by the Magnetic Field Storm.
But this time, the Magnetic Field Storm slammed into the window like the sound of muffled thunder, sending a humming vibration throughout the living room space, shaking Morrison’s spirit, while the window remained untouched.
The Magnetic Field Storm dissipated.
Morrison looked at the unharmed window in astonishment, feeling as if the window were fake.
He reached out and touched it, indeed it was real.
At that moment, he saw his wrist, and the watch he was wearing had stopped.
This mechanical watch was expensive and of excellent quality; Morrison had never seen it stop before, but now it had stopped.
After mulling it over for a bit, Morrison picked up a teacup from the table and violently threw it to the ground.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
There was no shattering noise; the teacup was completely intact, not even a crack.
“This is wrong, this doesn’t feel like going in circles!”
Seeing this scene, his suspicion and astonishment grew.
…
After starting the Space-Time Lockdown, Yan Junze was surprised to see the amount of energy that the Spacetime Atlas had consumed.
The Atlas showed a consumption of 500 points.
“Activating it once uses up 500 points, that’s a bit intense!” Yan Junze talked to himself.
To think, even initiating a Great Rewind only costs 500 points. It seems the functions unlocked later in the Spacetime Atlas consume more energy.
Now, after initiating the Space-Time Lockdown, a progress bar appeared above Yan Junze’s field of vision, which seemed to be a countdown, steadily decreasing, indicating the remaining time for the Space-Time Lockdown.
Yan Junze found that the progress bar was reducing quickly, which might be related to the fact that it was the Reaper that was trapped.
Moreover, logically speaking, a strangeness like Jacob’s magnetic field influence should be equally powerful, especially since the entire Ghost Apartment was his domain. If he could become an invincible entity here, then other even more bizarre occurrences happening in this apartment wouldn’t be surprising.
Luckily, he hadn’t locked Jacob in space-time as well, otherwise with the Reaper’s and Jacob’s intense magnetic fields combined, the countdown on the Space-Time Lockdown progress bar might deplete even faster.
Yan Junze’s speculation was somewhat reasonable, because at this moment, Morrison was continuously activating his magnetic field distortion, which indeed had an impact on the consumption of the Space-Time Lockdown.
Yan Junze didn’t have time to waste; after trapping Morrison, he first wiped his back hand where he had just seen the glowing point and found nothing there.
Perhaps the tracking light was already very weak, or perhaps it had fulfilled its mission upon Morrison’s approach to the target, so it disappeared.
Yan Junze then stopped worrying about it, quickly stepped out of the living room, and returned to Jacob’s small bedroom.
At this moment, the spacetime of the living room was separated from the living room spacetime where Morrison was trapped. Morrison was just caught in the spacetime locked down by Yan Junze, which was in the past, not the present.
So, the current living room spacetime was separated from the one Morrison was in, unless the Space-Time Lockdown stopped or became ineffective.
In that case, Morrison would be squeezed out from the locked spacetime back into the current one.
After searching Jacob’s bedroom again for a while, he still didn’t find any of Jacob’s photos, but he did see many case studies about Morgellons syndrome.
Morgellons syndrome, when mentioned, is a rather mysterious disease, with cases reported from all over the world.
When afflicted, patients would feel countless tiny bugs crawling under their skin, itching all over, and they couldn’t help but scratch their skin until it was torn and bleeding, without relieving the agony.
These patients underwent thorough medical examinations at hospitals and no abnormalities were found, which led some to suspect it was merely a psychological disorder. But no one could clarify a fact: after being ill, indeed, a large number of white filamentous fibers were found under some patients’ skin tissues.
Until now, Morgellons syndrome remains a mystery.
And it was evident that Jacob suffered from this condition. Saying he wasn’t ill was impossible. The question was finding out why he had contracted the disease before his death.
