I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 360: Chapter 291: Spirits (2) (4300 words)_2

Could it be that deep down, I want to rely on him?

Thinking this, Zhang Xiaomo couldn’t help but look up at Yan Junze’s profile, and damn, she felt her heart fluttering.

Yan Junze had no idea that a woman could still have so many thoughts under such circumstances. After asking “Who are you?”, he focused his attention on this “Zhang Di,” realizing that his behavior was indeed very strange.

“Go and draw back the curtains,” Yan Junze instructed Zhang Xiaomo.

Zhang Xiaomo “obediently” nodded, turned around, and flung open the curtains.

Light from outside filled the room. Zhang Di stood still in his original position, but the abundant light now clearly outlined the figure standing in the corner near the door.

...

This person was wearing black sneakers, jeans, and an orange hoodie, with what seemed to be designs on both the front and the back.

Upon seeing the figure clearly, Zhang Xiaomo froze on the spot.

Yan Junze immediately looked back at her outfit: black sneakers, jeans, and an orange hoodie, with a HelloKitty design on the front and a Tippy Bear on the back.

Taking another look at the figure standing against the wall, its back also featured a Tippy Bear design.

“That person… is you!” Yan Junze said to Zhang Xiaomo.

Before Zhang Xiaomo could respond, the woman who had been facing the corner began to turn around slowly, unmistakably bearing the face of Zhang Xiaomo.

And at this moment, this “Zhang Xiaomo” was also looking over coldly and silently.

Yan Junze started to hesitate, glancing back at Zhang Xiaomo, who was still holding the curtains, forgetting to let go, and then again at the person across the room who looked just like her.

Ever since entering this room, Yan Junze had felt an abnormal eeriness, but he couldn’t specifically pinpoint it until he noted that “Zhang Di” seemed unfamiliar.

However, with Zhang Xiaomo, he hadn’t noticed anything amiss; their interactions were the same as before, seemingly unchanged.

Only after another “Zhang Xiaomo” appeared did he begin to harbor doubts.

“Her behavior is obviously very abnormal, and at a time like this you better not get a screw loose and start suspecting me,” the curtain-holding Zhang Xiaomo quickly reminded him.

Yan Junze turned his back to her and walked toward the corner where the “Zhang Xiaomo” was now making her way over, asking, “Have you ever seen a horror movie from Great Capital of Japan called ‘Doppelganger’?”

“No,” Zhang Xiaomo shook her head. @@novelbin@@

“I have,” Yan Junze said as he came to her side. “Doppelganger means that there is another you in this world, living in a different place, your double, but she is vicious and cruel. If by chance you meet, she will try everything to kill you and take over your life.”

“Oh,” it was the first time Zhang Xiaomo had heard of such a thing.

Yan Junze continued, “Of course, that’s the plot of the movie. So, I’m wondering if that creature in the next room might also have seen that movie.”

“What about the real Zhang Di?” asked Zhang Xiaomo.

“I don’t know,” Yan Junze shook his head.

At this moment, the pace of the Doppelganger “Zhang Xiaomo” quickened, and she clearly redirected her path towards Zhang Xiaomo who was beside Yan Junze.

Speaking more quickly, Yan Junze said, “This woman is clearly your Doppelganger, and now she’s going to kill you and take over your life. If possible, you need to get rid of her first.”

“I can do it.” Zhang Xiaomo stepped forward, drew her magnetic knife, and swung it down at her doppelganger’s head.

Clang!

The Doppelganger also pulled out a magnetic knife, and her style of wielding the blade was exactly the same as Zhang Xiaomo’s, clashing with a crisp sound.

Zhang Xiaomo only felt her arm go numb; she was clear about one thing—she hadn’t expected the Doppelganger to not only copy her appearance but also her abilities and skills exactly.

Beyond having the same skills, the Doppelganger’s expression was extremely ferocious and cruel—Yan Junze believed that Zhang Xiaomo would never be able to make such an intensely vicious expression.

Yan Junze sidestepped, half his attention on the fight between Zhang Xiaomo and her Doppelganger, the other half on the silent Zhang Di.

However, he was very clear that the Zhang Di present was only a Doppelganger; the real Zhang Di wasn’t in this room. If the real body isn’t present, then this Doppelganger should not have a target to kill.

Of course, all of these guesses were based on Yan Junze’s interpretation of the movie “Doppelganger.” If the creature had a different understanding, then the figure he imagined could potentially step forward to assist, joining forces with the Doppelganger Zhang Xiaomo to kill the original.

So in this situation, to seek a quick resolution, Yan Junze had to help.

He activated his Semi-Spirit power, retaining close to half his strength and, in the brief moment his black fur sprouted, he stepped forward and grabbed the shoulders of Zhang Xiaomo’s Doppelganger.

Zhang Xiaomo was already deeply aware of Yan Junze’s Semi-Spirit Body; if Yan Junze’s head turned 180 degrees completely, it would signify the full activation of the Semi-Spirit Body without holding back. However, since it was turned 90 degrees at this stage, it meant he was reserving strength.

Indeed, under these circumstances, as long as he could lend a hand, it was necessary to conserve energy to be wary of Zhang Di’s Doppelganger standing to the side.

As Yan Junze grabbed the other’s shoulders, the Doppelganger reversed her magnetic knife, and it looked like she was about to strike Yan Junze’s neck with the backhand.
