I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 342: Chapter 284 Possession (4400 words)

The person’s footsteps were light and slow; if Yan Junze had been fully focused on the female corpse, he might have easily overlooked the sound.

If it hadn’t been for the screech of the door opening above, it’s likely that the other person could have descended to the basement and walked up behind Yan Junze without him noticing.

Fortunately, the sound of the door alerted him. Yan Junze, huddled in a corner of the basement, had turned off his phone’s flashlight, and was now engulfed in darkness, unable to even see the steps at the entrance of the basement.

A faint light filtered from the room above, so he could only vaguely make out the approximate location above the entrance.

Just then, a dark figure blocked the last bit of light seeping in and slowly descended the stairs.

The person moved very slowly, as if carrying a thousand pounds, with footsteps that sounded like they were dragging along the ground.

Then the light reappeared above the entrance, indicating the dark figure had moved away from the entrance and reached the bottom of the steps.

The footsteps remained unhurried, methodically descending without pause, heading towards the center of the basement.

The darkness was intense; Yan Junze squatted in the corner, straining his eyes, but still unable to discern who had entered the basement. If not for the barely audible footsteps, he would not be certain there was anyone else present.

To his perception, the person kept moving towards the center of the basement, dragging their feet as if they were drunk.

At the moment, the nearly perfect female corpse lay in the middle; if the individual took a few more steps forward, they might end up stepping directly on it.

Just as Yan Junze was getting concerned, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

Instant silence filled the basement; not only did Yan Junze’s eyes widen, but his ears perked up too, listening intently.

But after a while, he heard nothing, not even the sound of breathing from across the space.

“Could that person have seen me?” Yan Junze grew anxious, “They wouldn’t be wearing night-vison goggles, would they?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt as if a pair of eyes were indeed watching him.

“Could it be Shi Tai, the four-star Exorcist, has come back?”

During the day, that guy had rushed through his check of the place and left to catch a flight; what if he had realized something was amiss and made a roundabout return? Or could it be that he lied about catching a flight and intended to sneak in at night, with the beautiful female corpse as his target?

After a moment, the figure still stood motionless.

Growing impatient, Yan Junze thought of his Rewind ability and, without hesitation, clicked on his phone, turning on its flashlight to shine in the direction of the other person.

As the light hit the standing figure, Yan Junze’s body shuddered violently, almost letting out a cry.

Under the flashlight’s beam, a man’s slender figure stood, lacking a head, or rather, having a head that was almost completely severed, resting on the left side of the shoulder, seemingly about to fall off at any moment.

Besides this, the man had a ghastly wound at his abdomen, from which blood had poured and now dried, cementing the clothes and skin together.

In the instant he saw the head, Yan Junze recognized him.

“Yan Long!!!”

The person in front of him was indeed Yan Long, or rather, he shouldn’t be called a person anymore but a strangeness that Yan Long had become after death. Otherwise, Yan Long’s body would have been cremated by the Tianmeng Exorcist Team, leaving no possibility for him to move around like this.

At this moment, still astonished, Yan Junze saw under the flashlight that Yan Long’s strangeness seemed to react. He took two heavy steps forward, coming to stand beside the feet of the female corpse.

During this process, the head perched on his shoulder wobbled, as if it might carelessly fall at any minute.

This scene, in the silence of the basement, added a grotesque and terrifying magnitude.

Yet what surprised Yan Junze even more was yet to come. After standing next to the female corpse for about two seconds, Yan Long suddenly lunged forward, his entire body pouncing onto the corpse.

Getting close to it, Yan Long had turned into a shadow, overlapping with the body of the woman lying on the ground, and then his shadow rolled over, aligning horizontally.

Right before his eyes, Yan Long’s shadow gradually vanished, replaced by convulsions from the naked female corpse.

Yan Junze realized suddenly that this strangeness had returned to his clinic with the same intent as his apprentice, Cheng Jingting.@@novelbin@@

Possessing a Corpse to Resurrect!

It seemed though, Yan Long’s strangeness appeared quite bedraggled as it traveled from the Tianmeng Exorcist Team back to Tianyi, spending quite some time in the process.

Regardless, Yan Long had returned, and he targeted the nearly perfect female corpse that Yan Junze had just recently uncovered for his resurrection.

Crack… crack…

The female corpse began to wriggle, her legs curled up, her hands and feet awkwardly separating as if unable to fully control her limbs, exerting uneven force.

But even though the force wasn’t even, and her body was twisted backward, she still slowly stood up, with her head dangling beside her shoulder like Yan Long’s just moments before, turning to face the direction of Yan Junze.

Yan Junze was taken aback.

He knew that Yan Long had been quite powerful, and now, with the backing of this perfect female body, the consequences of a successful possession were too dreadful to contemplate.

At this moment, he definitely couldn’t allow Yan Long to succeed.
