I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 324: Chapter 275 Ugly Girl (Part 1) (4000 words)_2

“”You don’t have to wait here; you can go back and have a meal first,” Yan Junze said.

Both of them shook their heads at the same time, without making any sound.

As Yan Junze knocked open the lock, their hearts had already risen to their throats, as if something inside the building had been released, causing the two men to become terrified all of a sudden.

Yan Junze no longer paid them any attention and gently pushed open the broken door.

This wooden door hadn’t been opened in a long time, and the process of opening it produced a creaking friction sound, which was particularly harsh in this eerie place at dusk.

Wang Tao and Second Uncle Wang unconsciously took a step back and saw Yan Junze walk in, with no other sounds coming afterward.

“I definitely don’t qualify as an exorcist,” Wang Tao suddenly said, “Firstly, I’d scare myself to death before anything else, I’d much rather have a tough fight with the enemy on the battlefield.”

Second Uncle Wang also said, “I can’t be an exorcist either, I’d rather not sleep in separate beds from your second aunt than ever be an exorcist.”

Wang Tao was stunned, as if he had discovered a secret, and turned his head to look at his second uncle.

The latter’s face turned red, knowing he had misspoken, and hurriedly squeezed out an awkward smile.

“Second Uncle, next time I’ll bring you some kidney-tonifying supplements,” Wang Tao responded with a ghost of a smile.

Second Uncle Wang kept his mouth tightly shut and said no more.

Since it was becoming difficult to see the surroundings clearly, both of them took out their cellphones, turned on the weak flashlight, and tried to dispel the darkness in front of them as they waited, trembling with fear.

After entering the tall walls, Yan Junze caught sight of another door that led to the first floor of this detached building, which seemed to be ajar and not tightly closed.

The building was only about two meters from the tall walls, so he walked over in a few steps, looked around, and noticed that although there was a lot of dust on the ground and the walls, one could still faintly make out the traces of lime powder that had been scattered.

Beyond that, there were remnants of burnt weeds and rubbish that had gotten soaked by the rain and had formed into clumps.

There was nothing else suspicious around the small building, nor any hairs to be seen; Yan Junze quickly reached out, touched the door panel, and gently pushed, the door creaking open – it really wasn’t locked.

It was already dark outside, and the room was even darker; Yan Junze directed his phone’s flashlight into the room and stepped in.

Before he could take a good look at the environment inside the room, a mission information flashed abruptly in his mind.

[Mission Name: Ugly Girl;

Task Level: Anxiety-Inducing (High); @@novelbin@@

Task Background: Her appearance made her feel inferior; her appearance led her life onto a completely different trajectory; her appearance caused her to live a life consumed by endless self-blame and sorrow. Her self-esteem was shattered by her appearance. Even becoming a strangeness could not change this; she yearns for a lot of hair to cover her face, so that no one will ever see it;

Task Description: She’s running out of hair and starting to fall into fear again; you need to help her face herself with confidence;

Task Reward: 300 points of Different Dimension Energy;

Task Punishment: Do you want to know what it’s like to suffocate buried under hair?

Task Tip: 1, The evil spirit can lockdown; 2, Her abilities are very fickle, so you must be fully alert to confront her; 3, Timing is very important, perhaps direct confrontation is the worst choice.

Note: Having a sharp blade is a good start.]

After the mission information popped up, Yan Junze had just stepped through the doorway when he froze.

In the mission information that popped up, what surprised him the most was the level of the task, which was only “Anxiety-Inducing (High).”

It should be noted that an “Anxiety-Inducing (High)” level task is only comparable to that of [Peeking from the Crack in the Wall], whereas the task for Granny Ren, who initially lived upstairs in his house and was killed by her own son, was already at the level of “Anxiety-Inducing (Medium).”

According to Wang Tao’s description, Yan Junze initially thought that the task difficulty level should be at least “Anxiety-Inducing (Medium),” but to his surprise, it was forcefully lowered by one level to just “Trembling with Fear (High).”

Trembling with Fear, Anxiety-Inducing, Hair-Raising, Terrified – Anxiety-Inducing is already the lowest difficulty level for the tasks.

However, Yan Junze sensed something different in the air from the subsequent task hints. It seemed that to deal with this strangeness, he must be extremely careful and cautious.

Right then, he was startled to discover that in the task information that had just popped up in his mind, the difficulty level “Trembling with Fear (High)” suddenly jumped to “Hair-Raising (Medium).”

At the same moment, something appeared to rub against Yan Junze’s shoes. He looked down with his phone’s light and saw a clump of greasy black something quickly retract.

Another second passed, and the difficulty level in his mind jumped again from “Hair-Raising (Medium)” to “Hair-Raising (High).”

Yan Junze had already turned his phone flashlight on, following the greasy black object with his eyes. He saw the wooden staircase that spiraled upwards.

The greasy black thing retracted up the stairs and quickly disappeared out of sight.

Yan Junze’s eyes narrowed. In just a moment, he had seen it clearly—it was a large clump of hair.

At the same time, the difficulty level in his mind jumped once more, from “Hair-Raising (Medium)” to “Hair-Raising (High).”

Yan Junze frowned tightly, not daring to move.

Right then, numerous rustling sounds erupted from above, like rain pouring down. The task difficulty level in his mind changed yet again.

This time, without any hesitation, Yan Junze immediately backed away, stepped out the door, and with a swift motion, closed it behind him.

At that moment in his mind, the difficulty level, after another jump, showed “Terrified (Low).”

A cold chill that couldn’t quite be described or understood pervaded Yan Junze’s body in an instant, dousing him as if he were covered with a bucket of cold water, even the tip of his tongue felt icy.

“No, it’s impossible for the task difficulty level to increase this fast!?”

Thinking of the task hints, Yan Junze seemed to have an epiphany; he didn’t think further and immediately chose to Rewind.

He Rewound to the moment just after he had pushed the door open but had yet to step inside.

After the Rewind, he stepped back right away, rushed out of the walled enclosure, leaped over the wooden railing, and ran back in the direction he came from without even glancing at Wang Tao and his Second Uncle Wang, who were waiting outside.

“Holy shit, why is he running???” Second Uncle Wang shivered with fright, feeling that the Ugly Girl inside the little building might be too dangerous, even causing the Exorcist to give up.

Without a second thought, he turned and immediately pulled the dazed Wang Tao to run with him.

At this moment, Wang Tao’s head buzzed with numbness, and he too wondered why Yan Junze would choose to flee. Was it because the strangeness inside was too powerful, too terrifying? Or was it that Yan Junze was really not skilful enough, having always put on a brave front, but in reality, he couldn’t handle that thing at all?

Just then, as Yan Junze ran, his voice came through: “Second Uncle, call Second Aunt right away and make sure she keeps a close watch on your daughter. And Captain Wang, hurry back as fast as you can and inform all the other families with daughters. They must keep their children safe! Quick!”

Wang Tao was stunned, not understanding the situation.

His Second Uncle was also startled, but with more experience, he slapped the back of Wang Tao’s head the next second and shouted, “Move it, do as the Exorcist Master instructed! Hurry!”

With that, Second Uncle Wang immediately dialed his wife’s phone, calling while running after Yan Junze.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao, mustering the strength from his days as a soldier, left the two behind and dashed in the direction of Second Uncle Wang’s house, passing Yan Junze in mere seconds. In the darkness, only the light from the flashlight in his hand could be seen waving with the movement of his running arms.

Over here, Second Uncle Wang’s call rang a few times, but no one answered on the other end.

“No answer,” said Second Uncle Wang, his heart suddenly sinking.
