I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 318: Chapter 273 Ugly Girl (4000 words)

The dorm room fell silent for a moment before Huahua finally said, “Junze, don’t listen to the fatso’s nonsense—that ‘perverted mask’ TV show is really funny; I was just drawn in by the plot.”

“Exactly,” He Bishou said with a grin, “Especially the parts where the main character Cheng Kuangjie transforms—those pages have been flipped by Huahua until they’re falling apart.”

“Damn, that exaggerated?” Yan Junze was surprised, “Why only flip through those pages?”

“Think about it, muscle men!” He Bishou smiled mysteriously.

Yan Junze looked up at Huahua, “Huahua, you’re acting a bit out of the norm today, why are you starting to speak up for the fatso? Did you also get something nice from Captain Wang?”

Flipping her not-too-long hair, Huahua slyly stuffed a stack of unopened face masks under the pillow and replied, “No, I’m just speaking the truth.”

Later that evening, when everyone was in the dorm room, the security captain Wang Tao came to Room 411 again.

Since the others had already spoken for Yan Junze, after Wang Tao’s arrival, Huahua, He Bishou, and Zhao Zheng tactfully left the room to go play poker next door.

Yan Junze sat on the edge of his bed and said to Wang Tao, “Captain Wang, there’s no need to beat around the bush, tell me, what do you need my help with?”

Wang Tao, with a smile on his face, turned to close the door of the dorm room and came back to sit across from Yan Junze on a stool before finally saying, “Indeed, I need your help with something, but it might be a bit troublesome for you.”

“Let’s hear it, I’ll take a look first,” Yan Junze nodded.

“I’d like to ask you to get rid of a strangeness for our Wang Family Bay,” said Wang Tao.

“Why not call an exorcist?” Yan Junze asked.

“They’re still queued up, but we can’t wait any longer over there,” Wang Tao said with a troubled expression.

Yan Junze frowned, “With your identity as the captain of Tianmeng Science University’s security team, getting the university president to do you a favor and push you up the list shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Wang Tao waved his hand dismissively, “It’s not like that. I’m from Tianyi District, and Wang Family Bay is in the suburbs of Tianyi. I don’t hold as much sway there as I do at Tianmeng.”

“So you want me to go to Tianyi District and eliminate the strangeness in Wang Family Bay?” Yan Junze inquired.

“Not far, not far at all. Just take a flight, then a transfer from Tianyi City District and you’ll be there. I’ll go with you,” Wang Tao hurriedly explained, fearing that Yan Junze would be reluctant to go.

Yan Junze indeed felt a bit reluctant—if it were around Tianmeng, he wouldn’t need to exert much effort to eliminate the strangeness, but if he had to go to Tianyi District, the journey would be much longer, and he would be delayed at least two days.

At the moment, he had some theories about the sporadic numbness in his fingers, but he needed to conduct experiments to confirm them, so if he was delayed too long, Yan Junze feared his body might undergo other, more unexpected changes.

“If you decide to go, we can leave tomorrow at noon, arrive at Wang Family Bay in Tianyi by the afternoon, and perform the exorcism that evening. We can return the next morning, and if we’re early, you can still make it to your afternoon classes,” Wang Tao explained non-stop, concerned that Yan Junze would refuse on the grounds that it would disrupt his studies.

Yan Junze didn’t agree immediately and asked, “First, tell me about this strangeness. What’s the situation like?”

Wang Tao got up, grabbed a disposable cup, poured himself some water, and drank it in one gulp before clearing his throat and starting his story.

Wang Family Bay used to be a rural village in the outskirts of Tianyi District, but in recent years, Tianyi City District has developed rapidly. Now, the boundaries of the city district have nearly reached Wang Family Bay, turning the area into an urban-rural interface.

The value of the land in Wang Family Bay skyrocketed overnight, making many people wealthy. Of course, this wasn’t from hard work, so incidents of discord were frequent.

There was a local man named Wang Kunpeng who married a woman named Li Lanlan from a nearby area. Shortly after the marriage, as the land in Wang Family Bay appreciated in value, many locals had their old houses bought out and rebuilt, including Wang Kunpeng’s ancestral home.

Because his ancestral land was in a prime location, he was compensated with another plot of land further away to rebuild his house, plus he received two storefronts and four apartments near Tianyi City District. The rent from these properties alone was enough for him and his wife to lead a carefree life.

At this point, the couple had a daughter.@@novelbin@@

Who would’ve thought the girl would be born so exceptionally ugly that she nearly caused the hospital nurses to faint.

Now that the couple was affluent, naturally, they wanted offspring with better genes, so after careful planning, they had another child, a healthy boy. As time went by, they grew more and more displeased with the unsightly daughter and started thinking about abandoning her.

The girl was aware of her condition, very obedient, never causing trouble. No children played with her from a young age because they would usually cry upon seeing her for the first time.

The couple couldn’t bear to leave her behind, but she was also an eyesore, so they allocated a tiny parcel of their land next to their house to build a small two-story structure, separated by high walls with only a small door, and moved the ugly daughter in to live there, delivering meals to her at set times every day.

From that point on, the ugly girl was never seen again by others. The couple didn’t dare send her to school, fearing she would frighten other students or, even more so, fearing ridicule from others.

Once she came of age, the couple lied to others, claiming the girl had gone out to work, found a boyfriend, settled down, and would not return.
