I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 762 - 439: Triple Spirits (2)_2

Chapter 762: Chapter 439: Triple Spirits (2)_2

Yan Junze stretched out his hand to press on the carotid artery of the man, and after a moment, he withdrew his hand.

Actually, the moment he touched the other’s skin, he already knew Gu Dekang was dead, because the skin was ice-cold.

Zhou Wenfei and Gu Dekang lay side by side on the large bed, occupying two-thirds of it. Yan Junze glanced at the remaining one third of empty space.

There, presumably, was where Cao Heng would appear later.

“Could there be three strangenesses?” He lifted his head, thinking it over carefully, and it was not impossible.

The task level of the second strangeness now had increased to “Terrified (Low)”, which was two ranks higher than the previous “hair-raising (Medium)” hide-and-seek.

But even so, this task level still could not keep a top-tier four-star exorcist trapped here.

This indicated that there might be a third strangeness.

Having completed the first task just now, Yan Junze deduced that the woman named Zhuang Wenhui had most likely been tortured and abused during her life, hence the multiple scars and an abnormal obsession with hide-and-seek.

If Zhou Wenfei died at the hands of Zhuang Wenhui, it could have been during the game of hide-and-seek, either because he was found by Zhuang Wenhui or he found her, and that led to his demise.

That is to say, whether found or being found, the outcome was the same; only by acting as he had just done, one could reduce personal danger and resolve Zhuang Wenhui’s obsession.

Overall, Zhuang Wenhui felt no safety at all; being found by her led to death, and finding her also meant death. This could be related to how she was abused during her life.

So why did Gu Dekang die now?

Yan Junze stopped examining the bodies on the bed for the moment and turned to walk towards the living room.

Stepping out of the bedroom, under the illumination of the flashlight, he suddenly froze and looked into the living room.

Somehow, a large cardboard box had appeared there.

Not far in front of the cardboard box, there was a simple wooden chair placed.

And just as Yan Junze saw these suddenly appeared arrangements, his head began to feel dizzy.

This was clearly a kind of interference with the consciousness field, silent and unnoticed, yet with great influence and strong penetrability.

At this moment, Yan Junze could have activated the control field to isolate all these fields, but on second thought, he felt it was unnecessary.

Firstly, this dizziness and near unconscious state were almost identical to the symptoms before Zhuang Wenhui appeared.

It meant it was the same method used to make him lose consciousness so that the strangeness could carry out its next action.

Secondly, there were some hints in the previous task; since the strangeness only wanted to knock him out and not kill him immediately, it was highly possible that, just like Zhuang Wenhui, it wanted to play some sort of game.

The third point was that he had the Rewind on him, and in the worst case, he could activate the “Automatic Rewind on Near-Death”. After the previous energy exhaustion, it had recovered for a while, and having completed Zhuang Wenhui’s task, he had more energy as a guarantee.

So he didn’t need to worry about this aspect.

Without activating the control domain field, Yan Junze quickly lost control of his body, but he did not fully pass out; instead, he could feel himself walking and then sitting down.

His head was heavy, his eyelids wouldn’t lift, and some inexplicable thoughts began to emerge hazily in his consciousness.

For example, he needed to put something on top of the cardboard box in front of him; for example, there seemed to be something strange in his pocket…

Before long, he felt movement in his pocket, as if there indeed was something foreign in it.

But because his head was dizzy, he was unable to look down. However, in this state Yan Junze knew he could rewind with just a thought.

Things were not as bad as he had anticipated.

After an indeterminate amount of time in this dazed state, his consciousness gradually began to return, and the clarity of his senses slowly sharpened.

Yan Junze lifted his head, finding that he could slowly twist it above his neck, but his limbs still did not quite respond, though they could be moved slowly.

With great difficulty, he lifted his hand, feeling that his fingers couldn’t exert much force, then discovered that his torso was stiff, making it impossible to get up from the chair.

Thud! Thud!

From the cardboard box in front of him suddenly came two sounds, as if signaling or warning him.

Yan Junze’s gaze fell on the box’s surface, where he saw a black circle.

Next to the circle, there were four words written: Place it here.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at the cardboard box lid nearby, which seemed ready to open at any time.

This scene reminded him of a morbidly amusing piggy bank he had seen before, where the coin couldn’t be directly inserted but had to be placed at a specific location on top of the piggy bank; then the lid would automatically open, and either a skeleton’s ghost hand or an animal’s limb would reach out and slowly drag the coin inside the bank.

Hesitating for a moment, the strange thought that rose in his mind told him there was something in his pocket, so he reached into it.

His fingers still felt very stiff, but touch sensation was not gone.

Very soon Yan Junze grasped an object and pulled it out to see it was a box of cigarettes.

He immediately turned his head laboriously toward the coffee table, and sure enough, the pack of cigarettes he had seen before, not yet finished, was gone; only a lighter and an ashtray remained; and that pack of cigarettes must be the one in his hand.
