I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 323 -275 Ugly Girl (Part 1) (4000 words)

Yan Junze’s strides were large, and he walked quickly, mainly because it was already getting dark. If he didn’t hurry, he might not be able to observe the situation of the isolated building from the outside.

Wang Tao and his Second Uncle Wang started to jog from behind.

However, Wang Tao, the head of the security team who had served in the military in his early years, was in good shape. Though he jogged all the way, he steadily supported Second Uncle Wang with his hand, keeping close to Yan Junze.

After a short while, it was Yan Junze who started to huff and puff, while the two men behind him were just fine.

The nearly one-kilometer distance was covered in no time, and what came into view were two self-built houses. One was much larger and should be the place where Wang Kunpeng, Li Lanlan, and their son lived.

The building had three floors, and next to it was a very small independent building. Yan Junze estimated that although the small building had two floors, each floor was only slightly larger than an ordinary living room.

It could be said that from the outside, it indeed looked like a room used for storage; at least no person would live in such an oddly shaped small building.

The sky was already turning a greyish hue, a sign that it was about to darken completely, and Yan Junze ran directly over.

A square high wall encircled the independent building, built solidly with green bricks.

Standing under the high wall and looking up, one could see nothing; it was only by stepping back that the view improved.

Meanwhile, an orange-yellow excavator covered in dust was parked quietly not far in front of the independent building, about ten meters away.

According to the time, it was already the latter part of sunset, but the weather was not good that day. It was overcast, the sun was not visible, the clouds above were somewhat heavy, and it looked like it might rain later on.

Yan Junze looked up at the sky, then at the facade of the small building in front of him, while Wang Tao and his Second Uncle stood a few steps behind, both looking at the small building with a look of fear. @@novelbin@@

Only when looking at Yan Junze did their hearts feel a bit more settled.

The two then saw Yan Junze climb up into the cab of the excavator. Second Uncle Wang followed, approaching the base of the excavator. He looked around on the ground and soon picked up a piece of rag, vigorously dusting it off before handing it to Yan Junze.

“The cab’s glass might be too dirty, making it unclear. Use this to wipe it,” Second Uncle Wang said.

Yan Junze leaned down to take the rag, wiped the glass inside the cab a few times, then extended his hand to wipe the outside glass twice. After clearing a spot on the glass enough to see through clearly, he didn’t bother wiping anywhere else.

He then sat inside the cab, looking up at the second floor of the independent building.

Indeed, from this position, he could see the entire area around the second-floor windows. Although the light was fading, he could still see quite clearly, except…

Yan Junze frowned, staring hard at the second-floor windows, but he quickly gave up.

He hadn’t anticipated that so much time had passed. The windows were covered in a dusty haze, the dust was so thick that he couldn’t see anything inside the room.

After a while, the sky darkened further, turning duskier. This time, even if the glass on the second floor were clear, Yan Junze would no longer be able to see anything inside.

He sighed, climbing down from the cab of the excavator.

Wang Tao approached and said, “Junze, it’s getting dark, and you haven’t eaten anything yet. Let’s go back for dinner first. After eating, we’ll bring more flashlights and call a few more men with daughters at home to come and take a look.”

His meaning was clear: not only was there strength in numbers, but their courage would also be much bolstered. Furthermore, these men all had daughters, and now that Yan Junze had come to help them rid themselves of the “strangenesses,” these fathers had no reason not to help.

As for now, standing here as the light continued to fade, Wang Tao felt his body grow cold as though his heart was soaked in a chilling frost, making him uncomfortable all over.

He believed that if he stood there a little longer, he would probably start shivering.

Yet, Yan Junze shook his head, asking Second Uncle Wang, “Second Uncle, do you have the key to the small door inside the high wall?”

Second Uncle Wang was taken aback and shook his head, “The key is with Wang Kunpeng and his wife, perhaps they left it somewhere in the main house; we can go in and look for it.”

Yan Junze replied, “No need.”

He squatted down, picked up a handy stone, and walked towards the single small door in the high wall.

Wang Tao exclaimed in alarm, “Junze, are you going in now? Not waiting for us to call other people?”

As Yan Junze moved closer to the door, he answered, “Since we’re here, strike while the iron is hot, let’s go in and take a look.”

“You didn’t bring a flashlight!”

“The phone will do.”

Since the small door in the high wall was close to the main house where Wang Kunpeng and his wife lived, Yan Junze spoke while nearing the main house, leaped over a not-too-high wooden fence, stepped onto the only path leading to the small door, and approached it with the stone in hand.

The door lock was not the kind embedded in the door but a separate lock fixed to the door bolt.

Yan Junze aimed at the lock, swung the stone down hard, breaking the lock with just one hit. He then discarded the stone, removed the broken lock, and threw that away as well.

By now, the sky was almost completely dark, barely emitting a faint light.

Yan Junze turned back to glance at Wang Tao and his Second Uncle standing far away, their eyes wide, staring at him, their expressions coincidentally uniform, unable to hide their fear.
