I can rewind time to prevent death

In the headset the young man was wearing, the voices of some people came through.

He nodded slightly and then said, "Lv Xin resorted to the 'Heart Cultivate Spirit' method, which has the advantage of quickly controlling strangenesses, but the downside is instability. When the body can't bear it, it can have extremely severe repercussions."

After listening to the voices in the headset for a while longer, he said, "I suggest using 'Cultivate Spirit in Womb,' especially for female spirit cultivators. The strangenesses nurtured in this way are not only under control but also won't have too strong a backlash and the abilities are much more powerful than those cultivated through 'Heart Cultivate Spirit.'"

The voices in the headset were still talking. The young man showed a smile, with a teasing tone in his voice, "Right, I've tried everything, otherwise why would I be the one sitting here talking to you? Hmm, who said men can't 'Cultivate Spirit in Womb'? There are even more bizarre methods you've never heard of, like 'Cultivate Body,' you know, which means nurturing a dead person's body.

But have you ever heard of nurturing within the body? I'll tell you more about it tomorrow."

He paused and said, "That's it for today; I'm very busy."

With that, he reached out to click the mouse, shutting off the video.

A line of text appeared in the corner of the computer screen: Encrypted video channel 1 has been closed.

The lighting in the room remained very dark. The young man had no intention of opening the curtains or turning on the lights inside. He clicked the mouse and lit up the call button for the second video.

Now the person on the other end could see him.

"Boss Ao, hello," the young man said.

A fifty-something-year-old man's image appeared on the screen. The lighting was very good on his end, and Boss Ao's square face was clearly visible to the young man.

"The video of the two strangenesses fighting came out all right, didn't it?" Boss Ao said with a smile.

"Boss Ao is willing to pay a high price to acquire it and provide it for my enjoyment for free, of course it's alright," the young man said with a smile.

"That's good to hear," Boss Ao replied. "How are the two Spirit Exploration Teams doing, the ones I funded together with Boss Tian and Boss Zuo recently?"

"Not bad; following my plan, we've taken care of several strange incidents, like Guhui Village Corpse House, Tun Street Black-clothed Girl, and Shal Yi International Hospital. The videos captured are extremely entertaining to watch." The young man said with a smile, "As soon as I've processed the videos, I can send them to you.

Then whether you post them online for everyone to enjoy or keep them for a private viewing is up to you, Boss Ao."

"No problem," Boss Ao nodded, but then his expression turned puzzled, and he asked, "I heard that the team mainly funded by Boss Tian encountered some danger?"

The young man laughed, "It's more than danger; they nearly got wiped out. But no worries, I've taken care of it. The last, fiercest strangeness there has shifted its focus to me. The two survivors in the team are no longer in any serious trouble."

"What?" Boss Ao, who had just relaxed, now widened his eyes in shock, "You mean the last strangeness has set its sights on you?"

"Mhm." The young man moved his chair slightly away from the computer to reveal the curtained window behind him.

At this moment, behind the drawn curtains, close to the corner of the wall, one could vaguely see a woman dressed in a white nightgown, with disheveled hair, standing there. Her eyes were wide open, the pupils filled with blood threads, as if she had no eyelids, just staring right at the back of the young man sitting in front of the computer.

"Damn, you're not afraid!" Boss Ao shuddered just from one glance.

"She has been watching me for a week now, but she can't move against me at the moment," the young man said as he righted his chair and sat back down. "These past few days, I've been researching new methods of nurturing spirits. When the time is right, I'll use her to test the results."

Boss Ao glanced inadvertently over the young man's shoulder again and waved his hand, "You're not scared but I am. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I'll log off now; we can chat another day."
Your next chapter is on empire

The young man nodded, grasped the mouse, and clicked to end the call.

Once more, a line of text appeared in the bottom right corner of the computer screen: Encrypted video channel 2 has been closed.

He moved the mouse and clicked the button labeled "Public Video Channel 7."

Before doing so, the young man had already turned on the desk lamp beside him, and the bright light fully illuminated him in front of the computer, revealing a sunny and handsome face.

The moment the light came on, the figure of the woman who had been standing in the corner behind him suddenly vanished.

Of course, the young man was well aware that as soon as the light went off, the woman would reappear.

The video channel at this moment was showing a room that had just finished playing a spooky video, which attracted quite a few viewers, all of whom were leaving comments en masse.

Messages were popping up continuously at the bottom.

The young man opened the audio call, smiled, and said, "This video was recorded by a night school teacher on their cell phone. It's terrifying, isn't it? However, the 'strangeness' has already been dealt with by an exorcist. The video is currently trending on the 'Open Your Eyes' platform, but you have to pay to watch it.

You are different, though; since you've paid the membership fee to enter this room, watching paid videos here is free."

He paused, then added, "I need everyone to help me promote this more, after all, this is how I make a living on the platform, and I have a family to support. Please search for my real name, I'm looking forward to your attention. My name is... Cheng Jingting."

…

Two weeks flew by in the blink of an eye.

The college entrance exams arrived.

In that time, Yan Junze had visited Aunt Mei twice, each time bringing incense and candles, though he still had not seen Aunt Mei eat with his own eyes.

Normally, he would hear the sounds of the strange babies gorging themselves inside the house soon after he delivered the offerings.

The second time he went, Yan Junze bought even more, unsure if the strange babies would leave any for Aunt Mei.

Each time, Aunt Mei just watched him with a smile, never speaking or showing any other sign.

Because he couldn't quite gauge Aunt Mei's temperament, Yan Junze didn't dare to say much, delivering the incense and candles just to scrape together some favorability.

However, it seemed to have some effect. On the eve of the college exams, he made another trip to the underground parking garage.

This time, Aunt Mei came out of the inner room in advance, and it was no longer the strange babies that came to take the incense and candles, but she took them herself.

Of course, when in her hands, the strange babies did not dare to snatch them away and stayed a distance away.

Yan Junze spoke a few words to her, but, getting no response, he quickly retreated.

Honestly, Aunt Mei's smile became creepier the more he looked at it. In the past few days, Yan Junze had dreamt about it several times. That seemingly kindly smile had an eerie magic to it that made it unforgettable once seen.

"Just what level is she? It can't be higher than a Sculpting Spirit, can it? So terrifying! This is definitely a monk from Shaolin Temple!"

Although Yan Junze was curious, he dared not tell the exorcist, Zhang Xiaomo. No matter how curious he was, he had to keep it to himself.

Despite a series of bizarre encounters before the college entrance exams, Yan Junze's foundation remained, and with no psychological pressure, he breezed through the days of testing lightly.

But not Zhou Dali. After the unified college entrance examination, he had to brace himself for the physical exam happening half a month later, his nerves had not relaxed at all.
