I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 332: Chapter 280 Ugly Girl (Part 6) (4400 words)_2

Actually, to tell the truth, after getting used to that face, slowly it didn’t seem so unacceptable anymore.

But if it were possible, Yan Junze would still rather not look.

More than ten minutes later, the ugly corpse hanging from the beam was fully in view, dressed in grey long sleeves and trousers, with waist-length hair and slightly disheveled bangs that nevertheless matched the popular asymmetric hairstyle of the day.

The face under the asymmetric bangs, uh, let’s not talk about that.

Yan Junze put down the scissors, seemingly quite satisfied with his work, only to see the Ugly Girl’s hands rise again in a gesture as if she wanted a hug.

He felt helpless in his heart, thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and leaned in.

The next second, as if a block of ice was in his embrace, Yan Junze felt numb in his limbs.

He tried not to think about the face pressing against his shoulder and just silently counted seconds in his mind.

About five seconds later, he said, “Do you feel a bit better? If it eases your heart a little, I can take down your body from the beam right now.”

The Ugly Girl let go of her embrace, her eyes still closed, as if a dead person without any unusual signs.

“No need.” @@novelbin@@

A voice sounded, and the corpse in front of him rapidly decayed, withered to a skeleton in plain sight, and the clothes on it turned to fragments, fluttering down like butterflies.

Then, the old and worn rope hanging from the beam snapped with a ‘pop,’ and the skeleton fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, scattered all over the place.

Surprised, Yan Junze turned his head and saw the Ugly Girl’s spirit had left her body and was now standing quietly at his back to the right, head lowered, still as a wax statue.

At this time, however, there was no task completion prompt.

Yan Junze jumped down from the chair, stepping on the thick hair, which did not dissipate or shatter, for hair can be preserved for a long time unless burned.

“Mom, Dad, why don’t you come to see me?” At that moment, the Ugly Girl’s voice emerged with a question.

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, “Like I just said, the definition of beauty and ugliness in this world is very complex, and everyone understands it differently. Your parents might just have defined ‘beauty’ as being only about a pretty skin.”

The Ugly Girl became silent suddenly, standing without saying a word.

“If you still want to see them once more, I can take you there,” Yan Junze said.

“No thanks.” The Ugly Girl lifted her head to face Yan Junze, who was smiling awkwardly.

The Ugly Girl continued, “I am grateful to them for giving me life, but I also hate them. Because not only is my face deformed, my life was also deformed.”

“Now you can let go of your obsession and start a new cycle of reincarnation, to welcome a new and beautiful life,” Yan Junze said, fearing she might harbor thoughts of revenge against her family, and quickly changed the subject.

The Ugly Girl shook her head: “Didn’t you tell me? The beauty and ugliness of this world are very complex, and everyone’s understanding is different. I think… I want to see for myself.”

As soon as her voice fell, a line of text suddenly popped up in Yan Junze’s mind.

[You have gained the Ugly Girl (Sculpting Spirit), current favorability: Neutral]

“Damn!” Yan Junze was startled, a familiar feeling emerging spontaneously.

He remembered that after he had completed the very first task [Hair Wash], Ke’er had started following him around in this way, regardless of her willingness, forcibly turned into a servant.

But upon closer inspection, whether it was Ke’er, Fang Ning, the Lantern Woman, or any other strangeness, not a single one had followed him with his consent.

Thinking about it, these female strangenesses seemed to be a bit too intimate with him.

Now great, add one more Ugly Girl, the pinnacle of life.

The next second, the task completion prompt popped up.

[The Ugly Girl, Trembling with Fear (Medium), completed, gained 700 Different Dimension Energy points]

In fact, Yan Junze was well aware that, just like her task description, the Ugly Girl’s abilities were mutable, and if left unchecked, this Sculpting Spirit level strangeness would likely become something he could not possibly exorcise.

But now, it seemed, he had completed the task so perfectly, thanks to his Rewind ability and his silver tongue.

Glancing at the Ugly Girl, Yan Junze’s eyelids twitched a few times. Although this woman’s manner of getting close to him was the same as Ke’er’s, there was certainly no need to keep her by his side all the time like Ke’er.

Cough, cough, it wasn’t just about appearances.

“How about this,” Yan Junze said, “I will Lockdown you now. Don’t resist. After the Lockdown, Different Dimension Energy will nourish you, which is very helpful for enhancing your abilities.”

The Ugly Girl didn’t speak.

Shortly after, in the 12th node of the Spacetime Atlas, the silhouette of the Ugly Girl appeared, with a portion of the flowing Different Dimension Energy diverting towards the silhouette.

However, overall, the most energy flowed towards Long-tongued Zhenzhen, as Yan Junze was helping Zhenzhen recover as quickly as possible.

Emerging from the isolated building, Yan Junze walked back to Second Uncle Wang’s house.

The courtyard was bustling at the time, as all the children had regained their senses, and the parents seemed to have guessed the outcome of Yan Junze’s visit, with everyone showing smiles and starting to speculate in conversation.

But without the final order, they didn’t dare to untie the ropes from the children.

Not until Yan Junze returned did everyone pause, catching the result they wanted from his face, and they heard the Exorcist say, “It’s over, all the children can be untied and go home now.”
