I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 302: Chapter 265: Body Swap (Finale) (4400 words)_2

Yan Junze ceased to ponder and immediately rushed forward in a few steps, scooping up a large clump of black corpse salve and smearing it into Mo Da’s mouth.

Mo Da’s mouth was slightly agape, and with this smear, half of it entered his mouth, causing him to come to a complete stop, motionless.

“That should do it,” Yan Junze muttered to himself, then gestured to Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De behind him that the job was done.

The two exchanged glances and quickly moved to his side.

After examining Mo Da closely, Zhang Xiaomo was confident that the ancient corpse was now under their control. Though she didn’t know how long they could maintain this control, he was, for the moment, at their mercy, so they needed to move quickly and decisively.@@novelbin@@

“Now that the ancient corpse is under control, how do we allow Old Guo’s spirit to take over his body?” Yan Junze asked the two.

Tong De said, “Zombies differ from ordinary strangenesses in that they retain part of their consciousness from life, some spiritual wisdom, another form of obsession. If we want another strangeness to successfully possess it, we must eradicate this remaining obsession, whether forcefully or… uh, your… ‘Buddhist’ approach.”

He had just heard Zhang Xiaomo give a brief explanation of Yan Junze’s exorcism method. Although it seemed unbelievable, the fact that he had eliminated both the Red Coffin and the Lantern Woman made it hard for him to disbelieve.

That’s why Tong De suggested Yan Junze’s Buddhist Exorcism Method beforehand.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Junze shook his head: “This time, we can’t use the Buddhist Exorcism Method. We need to forcibly eliminate his obsession. He’s currently following my orders. Do you have any good ideas?”

The reason he said this was that Yan Junze was acutely aware that the “Corpse Qi Spread” mission had stated Mo Da’s obsession was to kill anyone he saw. He hated people for not saving him, so this obsession was beyond negotiation.

Moreover, the fact that Mo Da immediately left the place, instead of attacking Yan Junze and the others after breaking free from control, was very likely because the environment around this dry well posed an obstacle to his obsession. After all, this was where Mo Da met his end.

According to exorcists, the place where a person dies can restrict his abilities, just like the Lv Family’s people hiding in Granny Ren’s house before.

However, this is not absolute; for example, after Granny Ren evolved into Resentful Granny, the place of her demise no longer hindered her, and her hatred even grew stronger.

But for Mo Da, if he leaves this place, he could become extremely powerful in a very short time, which is what was mentioned in the “Corpse Qi Spread” task, from “hair-raising (high)” climbing all the way to “Terrified (medium)”.

Moreover, since the intense battle with Guo Youliang, Yan Junze has been suspecting that the mission level of Mo Da might no longer be “hair-raising (high)”, but quite possibly “Terrified (low)”.

In any case, allowing Mo Da to walk out in his current state was extremely dangerous.

With Mo Da intent only on killing, the Buddhist Exorcism Method wouldn’t solve the problem. It wasn’t an option to assist him in killing one person after another to satisfy his twisted obsession.

Therefore, direct elimination was the only choice.

Upon hearing Yan Junze’s question, Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De both shook their heads.

“This ancient corpse’s Yin nature is too strong; even if we stand here and use the magnetic knife to hack at him, without the magnetic force boost from a four-star exorcist, we won’t stand a chance against him,” Zhang Xiaomo explained.

“Can’t we just throw him into a fire and incinerate him?” Tong De suggested.

Yan Junze shook his head: “He was able to suppress even the Incinerate Hidden Buckle with his Yin nature earlier; ordinary flames would be even less effective. And throwing him into the fire could accelerate his return to consciousness and free him from control.”

“Given the ancient corpse’s strong Yin nature, the Chilling Hidden Buckle definitely wouldn’t work either. That would be like giving him the perfect environment to thrive,” Zhang Xiaomo muttered to herself.

Tong De suddenly brightened up with an idea: “What if we have him swallow the Strangeness Interferer? That might force the obsession out of the ancient corpse’s body.”

Zhang Xiaomo dismissed the idea: “I’m afraid the Strangeness Interferer might get stuck and cause him to break free from the corpse salve’s control sooner.”

After pausing for a moment, Zhang Xiaomo said to Yan Junze: “Even if we can now eradicate the ancient corpse’s obsession, allowing Uncle Guo’s spirit to temporarily possess his body, we can’t control it directly. We would still need to send the ancient corpse, with Uncle Guo inside, back to the exorcist squad and use a Spirit-Hosting Device to complete the final ‘Possessing a Corpse to Resurrect’.”

Yan Junze folded his arms across his chest and tapped his forehead, pondering: “As long as we destroy the ancient corpse’s obsession, everything else is a minor issue.”

“Is your Buddhist Exorcism Method useless this time?” Zhang Xiaomo asked with concern.

“No,” Yan Junze shook his head, “it’s his obsession, which I cannot peacefully eliminate.”

“What is his obsession?” inquired Tong De curiously.

“To kill everyone.”

Yan Junze turned his head to look at Mo Da’s lifeless eyes, unconcerned that Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De already wore faces filled with terror.

He pondered for a moment, fearing that if they delayed any longer, Mo Da might break free from control.

Yan Junze decisively released Guo Youliang’s spirit from the Spacetime Atlas.

After appearing, Guo Youliang stood next to Yan Junze, expressionless. His gaze swept over Yan Junze, Zhang Xiaomo, and Tong De, and he uttered two words.

“Save… me!”

Suddenly, Guo Youliang’s gaze fixed on Mo Da. Without any hesitation, he raised his magnetic knife, strode forward, and swung it down at Mo Da’s head, shouting: “Yin Corpse, die!”
