I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 407: Chapter 312 A Family

Yan Junze had no time to think about much else, making sure the Black Spirit Pearl was secure. He already had a plan, all three Black Spirit Pearls would be embedded into the mace, creating a fine weapon.

“Now you can leave,” Rock picked up the Tricky Silk thread clumps he had twined absentmindedly while convincing himself he had lost, and walked towards the hole he had crawled out of.

Yan Junze asked, “Aren’t you leaving? This place is likely to be exposed once my friend leaves.”

“I can leave at any time,” Rock had already started crawling into the hole.

Yan Junze stood there watching his retreating figure, seeing the large and oddly-shaped figure slowly disappear into the hole. Then, after looking around to make sure no one was watching, he too started climbing into the tunnel leading out of the underground space.

The area was not as tumultuous as when Yan Junze had first arrived; it had become very quiet.

If he were to disappear directly from this location now, he feared it might arouse Rock’s suspicion.

So, for safety, Yan Junze decided to deliberately crawl through the tunnel; he used his hands and feet to advance into the crawlway.

After crawling in the tunnel for a while, the mission completion message popped up in his mind.

[Tricky Silk, Terrified (Medium), completed, obtained 1800 Different Dimension Energy points]

Yan Junze originally had 3600 points, which Rock was unaware of, while Yan Junze had made several mistakes using Tricky Silk to scare the people of the Zeng Family.

After all, it was his first time handling Tricky Silk; these mistakes greatly reduced the scare’s level of terror. Thus, whenever a mistake occurred, Yan Junze would initiate a brief Rewind, fine-tuning the Tricky Silk.

And if any mishap happened during the second scare, Yan Junze would silently Rewind those few minutes and try again.

Regardless, as a novice, he must ensure that each of his scares reached the peak within his capabilities to achieve the maximum effect.

So, the original 3600 Different Dimension Energy points he had upon entering the underground space were now just over 2700, with an additional 1800 upon completing the [Tricky Silk] mission, totaling over 4500 points.

The tunnel was pitch black, and Yan Junze didn’t plan to turn on any lights. Instead, after crawling some distance, he initiated the return command.

The next second, he appeared again in that eerie starry space.

Standing upon the Void, the familiar prompt for [Butterfly Effect Stabilization] popped up before his eyes.

[This “Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion” has generated 3 instances of the Butterfly Effect, with the first effect estimated to consume 400 energy points, producing 654 ripple events. The second effect is estimated to consume 300 energy points, producing 515 ripple events. The third effect is estimated to consume 500 energy points, producing 778 ripple events.]

Yan Junze paid close attention; this time, there was no occurrence of the lethal ripple events described after the “Great Rewind” during the Cheng Jingting incident.

Therefore, there was no case requiring his personal intervention to adjust ripple events.

Soon the second message popped up.

[All above Butterfly Effects can be handled personally or completed automatically by “Butterfly Effect Stabilization.” During the automatic completion, the host can choose to observe from a third-person perspective. Start now?]

At this point, Yan Junze was very tired. He considered for a moment and decided he didn’t have the energy to return to the scene to watch the entire stabilization process from a third-person perspective. Now, he just wanted to lie down and rest for a while.

Yan Junze silently thought “Start” in his mind, opting not to observe but letting the “Butterfly Effect Stabilization” proceed automatically.

Another line of text appeared.

[Since the host has chosen to let the Butterfly Effect Stabilization complete itself, the Spacetime Fixed Point Insertion is concluded. Locating previous spacetime, returning…]

It wasn’t long before the eerie Void scenery changed abruptly, as if a giant curtain had been swiftly lifted.

Yan Junze then felt a strong pull from behind, dragging him backwards.

His vision blurred, he wobbled, already standing in front of the flower bed in the Jian Family’s courtyard, barely avoiding falling into it.

The round stone was still in front of him, lying there unchanged.

Footsteps sounded from behind; Jian Tong had added some hot water to Yan Junze’s teacup and was now carrying it outside.

To Jian Tong, it was just a minute she had spent inside to refill the water, but for Yan Junze, that brief moment had been an experience of life and death.

Turning to take the teacup, an exhausted Yan Junze managed a weary smile. He took a sip of tea, chatted a few words with Jian Tong, showing curiosity about the stone.

Setting down the teacup, he took out his phone to take several photos of the stone from different angles, exchanged a few more words with Jian Tong, then excused himself, claiming he needed to rush back to school and departed.

After leaving the Jian Family, Yan Junze was too tired. He didn’t want to walk to the bus station and instead hailed a taxi on the street, stating he was going to Tianmeng Science University, then collapsed in the back seat and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was the taxi driver who had woken him. He looked up and saw the entrance to Science and Technology University.

After paying the fare, Yan Junze didn’t head straight to his dormitory but instead went to visit Xiang Er’s rental house.

He was simply too exhausted; after maintaining a high level of concentration controlling the Tricky Silk for so long, once his spirit relaxed, all he wanted was to sleep.
