I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 282: Chapter 253: Red Coffin (Conclusion) (6000 words)_3

Moreover, after the second Rewind, Zhang Xiaomo clarified her own positioning further; this time she only climbed twelve meters before stopping, and she made a slight adjustment to the direction as well.

Looking up, Yan Junze shouted with extreme speed, “Zhang Xiaomo, I know you can hear me. Don’t say anything for now, just listen to me. Look around you immediately to see if anything is amiss, don’t worry about me for the moment!” @@novelbin@@

Zhang Xiaomo, who was peering into the coffin, paused for a moment. She heard the sentence very clearly, as if Yan Junze was right beneath her, not far away.

But it was too dark in front of her, and she still couldn’t see anything.

Nevertheless, Yan Junze’s words served as a reminder; without hesitation, Zhang Xiaomo took a deep breath, held it, and plunged her head back into the water, turning to look around.

A mass of black hair fluttered from behind, approaching less than a meter away from her feet.

Zhang Xiaomo was startled. The sensation of the floating hair immediately triggered a memory she had forgotten, and her whole body shuddered violently as she quickly paddled with all limbs while retracting her feet to avoid being entangled by the mass of hair.

The black hair’s stealthy attack failed, and it tightened like a jellyfish from behind, spreading out fiercely, lunging at Zhang Xiaomo.

Zhang Xiaomo wielded the magnetic knife in her hand, keeping the hair at bay for a moment, but she also couldn’t get any closer to the Red Coffin.

Yan Junze didn’t know if his warning had worked, but if this attempt failed, he could Rewind again.

Without thinking about Zhang Xiaomo’s situation for now, he believed he had found the right position and tried to sit up, encountering no resistance on the way.

Yan Junze rejoiced and slowly propped himself up to stand.

It turned out he could indeed stand up in this area, but he didn’t know how large the area where standing was possible actually was.

He tried to walk a little and found that he could do so.

That meant, once standing up, he was no longer obstructed by any invisible force and could move freely.

“Try standing up,” he said to the man carrying the Exorcist once he was sure it was possible.

The man tried at his own spot, but still couldn’t stand up straight.

Yan Junze pointed to where he had previously been lying, “Move over here first, then try to stand up.”

The man didn’t say anything and immediately did as instructed.

This time, he indeed stood up with ease.

But at the same moment, a voice of unknown origin sounded from under his feet.

“Uncle, are you leaving? Won’t you stay with Yingzi? Yingzi misses you…”

The voice was piercing and harsh. Yan Junze was startled; this was the very voice he had heard earlier from the fat-headed bovine strangeness.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the injured Exorcist was overcome by fear again, and the fat-headed bovine strangeness appeared.

Its emergence was unusual, probably crawling across the ground to get there, and now that Yan Junze and the man with the Exorcist, as well as the Exorcist himself were all standing, they couldn’t see the strangely genderless entity called “Yingzi.”

Unless they lay down on the ground again.

“Ignore that thing!” Yan Junze reminded sharply, staying still before reaching upwards. In the darkness, where it seemed there was nothing, he felt the touch of what seemed like wood.

Immediately, he jumped on the spot, hooking his hands onto the edge of the coffin, noting that water seemed to drench the fingers that poked outside.

Yan Junze didn’t hesitate, quickly turning to the man with the Exorcist, “Found the exit. No matter how, send me up immediately. Once I’m out, you stand where I am now and jump upwards. Hmm, I know you should be capable of flight, just fly out directly. Remember, take the person on your back.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strong force lifted him from below, and Yan Junze plunged into the churning water rapidly.

Fortunately, he had been holding his breath; he immediately looked around, only to see Zhang Xiaomo’s feet entangled by a mass of black hair.

Clearly, Zhang Xiaomo wasn’t a match for the hair in the water, even though she’d detected it early. She was still trapped and now couldn’t hold her breath any longer, inhaling a mouthful of water into her lungs.

“Damn it!” Yan Junze cursed inside, swimming over quickly.

Zhang Xiaomo had no more resistance but was still conscious, and she too saw that Yan Junze was out of the coffin.

Just then, another black figure was pushed out of the Red Coffin by the Exorcist.

Seeing this, Yan Junze’s eyes lit up. He gestured to the person, meaning “I’ve helped you get free; in return, please take care of that disgusting mass of black hair.”

The shadowy figure was fully exposed to Yan Junze’s eyes for the first time; he wore a sackcloth garment with disheveled hair, his whole body pale and bloodless.

After seeing Yan Junze’s gestures, he paused for a moment, released the Exorcist from his back, letting the Exorcist float in the water. He then opened his mouth wide and sucked at the black hair.

The hair stood no chance of resistance and was sucked in completely; suddenly, the water disappeared around them, dropping everyone but himself on the ground.

Though there was no water, everyone’s clothes were still dripping wet, as if they had just been fished out.

After ingesting the hair, the man didn’t even bother to say goodbye; he vanished within two seconds after the water flow had dissipated.

At the same time, a message of task completion emerged in Yan Junze’s mind.

[Whispers, Hair-raising (Low), Completed, Earn 1000 points of Different Dimension Energy.]

Yan Junze didn’t pay attention to the mission information but crawled over quickly, pressing his hands together on the motionless Zhang Xiaomo’s chest and pushed down.
