I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 290: Chapter 257 Rescue (4200 words)

Guo Youliang’s shadow stiffly walked forward, step by step.

Not long after, it moved out of the ancient well area, and the collapsed place was no longer visible, then his shadow began to hasten its pace.

Although the Super-Energy Burst triggered a strong shockwave, especially against strangenesses, having a significant fatal effect, it couldn’t match the noise created by the detonation of a Detonator.

So, although the Super-Energy Burst had been detonated, the resulting noise didn’t spread near the Little Wind Zhai like it did when the Detonator blew up the ancient well.

The leading middle-aged man and a group of young Exorcists guarding the area didn’t hear anything unusual at all.

It wasn’t until a young man walked out of the courtyard to urinate at the corner outside the yard that he suddenly got a fright—there was a figure standing at the corner.

At first, this young man was panicked and cautious, but then he realized something was off and stared at the person’s back.

The figure slowly turned around, holding a magnetic knife, and looked directly at the young man.

About five seconds later, the courtyard door was slammed open, and the young man stumbled in, panicking, “Uncle… Uncle Guo…”

“What’s Big Brother Guo doing?” asked the leading middle-aged man, seeing the young man was pale with trembling hands and feet. An Exorcist wouldn’t show such a reaction unless he had seen something horrifying.

This scene made the leading middle-aged man’s heart pound uncontrollably.

“He…” The young man pointed behind him at the courtyard outside, “He’s standing by the door, just standing there.”

“What’s he doing there?” asked the leading middle-aged man curiously.

“No, Uncle Guo’s wrong, he, he seems to have become… a strangeness?!” The young man stammered.

With those words, everybody in the courtyard was shocked.

The leading middle-aged man was the first to rush out, running to the corner outside the yard and saw Guo Youliang’s shadow standing motionless in the corner.

The others followed suit, but none dared to get close, just staring unbelievably with open mouths at the scene before them.

Everyone saw a crack form right on Guo Youliang’s forehead, splitting his skin in two, and blood slowly flowed down, soaking half of his face yet unable to cover his lifeless eyes, which remained open.

“Big Brother Guo!” Tears had filled the eyes of the leading middle-aged man, ready to fall at any moment.

The sight before him was so unbelievable that for a moment, he couldn’t accept the truth.

But the stark reality was laid out before his eyes, leaving no room for doubt.

“Help… me.” Guo Youliang suddenly parted his lips and uttered a muffled voice.

Those further away couldn’t hear it clearly, but the leading middle-aged man heard it distinctly. He froze, his gaze fixed on Guo Youliang’s shadow.

“Help me!”

Guo Youliang’s voice seemed more urgent as he said the words again, this time with much more force.

This caused the leading middle-aged man to lose his composure completely, his eyes filling with Blood Threads as he roared, “All Exorcists, pair up, split up and search. Lock on the eastern side of the village. You must find Big Brother Guo’s body within an hour!”

Everyone paused, then scattered explosively, pairing up and spreading in all directions.

The individuals didn’t waste words, as they darted into streets and alleys, looking around, even pulling out their Spirit Detectors to begin a frantic search.

The leading middle-aged man stood alone before the strangeness of Guo Youliang. Once everyone had dispersed, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, “Just before dawn, as long as it’s before sunrise and taken back, we might make it in time!”

With that, he picked a direction himself and started searching quickly.

…

Hearing Yan Junze’s surprised voice, Zhang Xiaomo forced herself to stand up, clutching her still aching chest and quickly approached the corner outside the courtyard, then stood dumbfounded.

“Uncle Guo?!” @@novelbin@@

Although the blood flowing from Guo Youliang’s forehead covered most of his face, his clothing, physique, and general appearance still allowed Zhang Xiaomo to recognize him at a glance.

“He… he’s already a… a strangeness!” Yan Junze stared in disbelief at Guo Youliang, murmuring to himself.

“No, he’s not!” Zhang Xiaomo rushed forward, grabbing Yan Junze’s arm, tears involuntarily falling, but her gaze remained fixed on Guo Youliang, “Uncle Guo… might still be saved!”

“His soul is already here, how can he be saved?” Yan Junze asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xiaomo turned her head sharply, staring at Yan Junze, “There’s no time to explain, we have to find the body, we need to find Uncle Guo’s body, fast! It has to be before dawn, to take the body back to the Tianmeng Exorcist Team branch.”

“Help… me!”

Guo Youliang again suddenly spoke and still those two words, but this time they were said incredibly slowly as if he was running out of all his energy.

“Just go looking like this? What about Uncle Guo’s strangeness?” Yan Junze asked.

Zhang Xiaomo stamped her foot, “Of course, we’re taking it, but I don’t have a strangeness containment device. Those things are expensive, and there are only a few in the entire Tianmeng. Jiang Yaofei has one, but who knows if that guy has already left Mo Family Village by now.”

After a pause, she continued, “If all else fails, we’ll just find the body first. As long as we bring the body here and let Uncle Guo’s soul temporarily reside in its own body, it should work for a short time. We only need to last until we get back.”

At this time, the strangeness produced by Guo Youliang had formed into an Obsession—seeking someone to help him.
