I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 321 -274: Do I Look Good? (4500 words)_2

This time, Second Uncle Wang was very clear that Wang Mengmeng was waving at him. In the darkness, her eyes seemed to have opened, staring at him through the reflection in the mirror.

Almost screaming out in fright, Second Uncle Wang quickly shut his daughter’s bedroom door with a slam.

But then he thought that his daughter might be in danger. Torn for a few seconds, he opened the door again and immediately reached in to turn on the light. Focusing his gaze, he saw his daughter Mengmeng had collapsed on the floor, curled up in front of the mirror, motionless.

The sound of the door closing had woken his wife, who was fast asleep in the next room, also known as Second Aunt Wang. She ran over, her face filled with terror, and together with Second Uncle Wang, they lifted the unconscious Mengmeng onto the bed.

Then, the couple noticed a large clump of curly black hair on the floor where Mengmeng had fallen.

At this point, Wang Tao stood up to pour himself another cup of water, drank it down in one gulp, and said, “My second aunt said that the hair was of good quality, very thick. She picked it up, and there was a big bundle of it. Then, frightened, my uncle immediately took it outside and burned it with fire.”

Pausing, Wang Tao added, “My second uncle has already reported it to an exorcist, but it’s been a month, and no one has come to take a look yet. Apparently, there’s been a shortage of exorcists recently, which has led to us not being reached yet.”

Yan Junze was startled and thought to himself that it wasn’t impossible for Tianyi District to dispatch an exorcist to assist with the Spirit Bridge incident in Mo Family Village on Tianmeng side.

Although the Spirit Bridge in Mo Family Village hadn’t erupted again, precautions were essential, so it was very obvious that Tianyi might indeed send an exorcist to provide support.

If that were the case, Wang Tao’s second uncle wouldn’t have been left waiting this long.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Junze asked, “Why are you so sure the strange events at your second uncle’s house are connected to the Ugly Girl in that building?”

“We’re certain,” Wang Tao nodded firmly, “because it’s not just my second uncle’s daughter who is experiencing this strangeness. Nearly every family with a daughter in Wang Family Bay has encountered the exact same situation.”

Yan Junze was surprised, then listened as Wang Tao continued, “Although the situation is terrifying, thankfully there isn’t a fatal danger. As long as you burn that clump of black hair, it’s fine. It’s just that after a while, it happens again.”

“So you think this is related to that Ugly Girl,” Yan Junze said.

“Think about it, the girl was hanged, but people still saw her hair growing, and now it’s unknowably long. It’s right there in that building, just the thought of it sends chills down your spine,” Wang Tao shook his head.

“Book the flight tickets, we’ll head over early tomorrow,” Yan Junze said.

Wang Tao was delighted, nodding with a beaming smile: “Junze, we’re not asking you to come over for nothing. No matter what the outcome of this handling is, we’ll give you a reward.”

Yan Junze understood the hint in his words: if he could solve their strangeness, the reward would certainly be a lot more. If not, it might just be a consolation fee.

It wasn’t about the consolation fee; mainly, Yan Junze had developed some interest in the oddities involving the Ugly Girl. At least the girl had suffered enough while alive, and if an exorcist went over to forcibly eliminate her, it would only make the strangeness worse.

If he used his own Buddhist Exorcism Method instead, at least he could perfectly liberate the girl’s spirit, which would be good.

“If the Ugly Girl’s family was wealthy, why didn’t they consider plastic surgery for her? No matter how expensive the surgery, a few hundred thousand or even a million should be enough, right?” Yan Junze suddenly asked.

Wang Tao shook his head: “It’s not possible. I heard that her facial bones are seriously deformed. If she were to undergo surgery, it couldn’t be done in one go — at least six or seven times, maybe even more than ten times to truly fix it. And, Wang Kunpeng and his wife poured a lot of their energies into their son. Perhaps deep down, they just didn’t want to spend that money on their daughter.”

Yan Junze let out a soft sigh and said no more.

Wang Tao thanked him again, agreeing that they would depart together the next day, then he got up to leave.

At that moment, in the neighboring bedroom, Huahua, Zhao Zheng, and He Bishou were engrossed in their card game and hadn’t come back.

Yan Junze thought for a moment and released Long-tongued Zhenzhen.

Long-tongued Zhenzhen’s long tongue was no longer hanging out, having finally retracted. But her strange magnetic field from the “Tricky Silk” mission had been disrupted by another spirit’s strangeness and hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Frankly speaking, Yan Junze was quite grateful to Zhenzhen. If it weren’t for her fighting to save him at the risk of her own life, he might have triggered his Semi-Spirit Body, also known as Fake Spirit Body, back inside that cave.

Even if he had become a Semi-spirit, he wasn’t sure whether he would have been able to escape from the Tricky Silk boss’s grasp or endure until that mysterious voice arrived, shielding his escape from the boss for a moment.

Zhenzhen stood in front of Yan Junze. Although she no longer spat out that unsettling tongue, she looked very somber, bowing her head in his direction, silent, her mind still seemingly confused.

Yan Junze watched her, and after a while, he called out, “Zhenzhen?”

Zhenzhen seemed to react, silently lifting her head, her gaze as if unable to focus, looking toward Yan Junze.

The next second, she split her mouth, revealing pearly white teeth, and then, with a swish, her half-meter long tongue slid out again, swaying in midair.

“Well, it still can’t be helped,” Yan Junze shook his head helplessly.

With a thought, he retracted Zhenzhen back into the timeline node. This time, Yan Junze used Inner Vision on the 12th node, focusing on the flow of Different Dimension Energy in the timeline, and paid special attention to the area where Zhenzhen was located. @@novelbin@@
