I can rewind time to prevent death

[Host near death detected, triggering "Automatic Rewind on Near-Death," consuming 1000 points of Different Dimension Energy this time]

When Yan Junze regained consciousness, he looked miserably at the information in his mind.

He didn't expect that the consumption of energy would double with the second "Automatic Rewind on Near-Death" immediately following the first.

The first rewind consumed 500 points, while the second one took up 1000 points. If there was to be another one... Discover hidden content at empire

Yan Junze didn't dare to imagine. At present, he had only 4400 points of Different Dimension Energy left. If it kept consuming at this rate, he guessed that after another two times, he would be completely done for.

However, he now roughly understood where the problem lay.

It wasn't that the entire declaration of love had issues, but rather, the problem was with the last sentence of this declaration.

As soon as he uttered, "I only want you by my side every second," disaster immediately struck, and the "Death Attack" from Fang Ning, who was pressed against his back, was just too perfect.

Even with preparation, Yan Junze still had no time to react, and he was instantly killed by this strangeness.

But now that he thought about it carefully, it was probably because he was fully back to back with Fang Ning that made it easy for her to instantly kill him, just like when he had inadvertently gotten too close to the Back-faced Woman before.

"I got it wrong. The last promise was wrong, that damn Jiang Hao!" Yan Junze realized in his heart at this moment.

But on the other hand, this guy almost went crazy because of Fang Ning and kept running away. It's likely that he might subconsciously deliberately want to forget these sickening declarations of love.

Regardless, the same mistake couldn't continue.

At this moment, Fang Ning had already begun to ask, "Do you still remember what we used to say together?"

Yan Junze didn't answer her but simply triggered the rewind.

The rewind brought him back to the moment he had just arrived at the garden with the fountain, before he had approached the fountain.

After setting down his backpack, Yan Junze glanced in the direction of the fountain pool. Since he hadn't gone there yet, Fang Ning's evil spirit wouldn't climb out from the filthy water in the pool.

Looking at the time, it was already night, but still early.

Yan Junze took out his phone and dialed Jiang Hao's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Jiang Hao's voice came through without any surprise, clearly remembering or having saved Yan Junze's number.

"Exorcist, sir," Jiang Hao said as soon as he answered.

Yan Junze skipped the pleasantries and asked, "Think carefully about those phrases you told me you would often say. Is there any mistake? Especially the last one!"

Jiang Hao chuckled bitterly on the other end of the line, his tone apologetic, "After you hung up last time, I thought about it carefully, but I really can't remember clearly. It seemed that the last sentence was: No matter the oceans dry up and the rocks decay, no matter the next life, no matter forever, I want none of it, I just want you by my side every second."

"That's not right," Yan Junze shook his head, "It's exactly the same as what's in my memory, and you said it without a mistake. But the facts proved it was wrong."

"Huh? How did you prove that?" Jiang Hao's tone now held surprise.

"Do I need to explain myself to you?" Yan Junze retorted.

"No, no, not at all! Mr. Exorcist, sir, you misunderstand, I was just curious," Jiang Hao quickly replied.

"Think carefully, then tell me," Yan Junze dismissed his explanation.

In fact, Yan Junze held some resentment towards this guy, or he wouldn't have lost 1500 points of Different Dimension Energy for nothing.

To know that without completing the task, although the already activated segments of Different Dimension Energy would slowly recover, the pace of recovery was akin to that of a tortoise.

With the blunder in this mission, it was uncertain how long it would take to fully recover at such a slow rate.

"Hmm, let me think," Jiang Hao said, nodding incessantly on the other end, mainly because he feared that if Yan Junze couldn't handle Fang Ning, then Fang Ning would personally come to have a face-to-face talk with him.

"It's just... that last sentence, I can't quite remember it," Jiang Hao said after a moment.

"You go ahead and say it," Yan Junze didn't rush him, as haste might instead worsen his memory recall.

"Hmm," Jiang Hao articulated slowly: "I only want every second you're by my side? No, that's not right, I only want every second... um, every next second... you're still by my side. I only want... the next second...

you at my side, that's not right either."

"It might be the middle sentence," Yan Junze likewise pondered and voiced a reminder.

Jiang Hao paused for a bit, then repeated, "What seas may wither and rocks may rot, what next life, what forever, I don't want them, I only want... every next second... you're still by my side. Are you saying this sentence is correct?"

"If you haven't thought of anything else, then it must be this one," Yan Junze nodded, "Think about it, since you want to be by her side every second, then what's the point of saying no to forever, no to withering seas and crumbling rocks? If you're by her side every second, isn't that forever? So, it feels redundant to me."

"Yeah, it seems so," Jiang Hao agreed.

"Therefore, in terms of the meaningful connection between sentences, 'every next second' would be more appropriate," Yan Junze continued: "She doesn't want withering seas with you, doesn't want a next life with you, nor does she want forever. She just wants you to be by her side every next second. It's a very clever and playful way to put it.

If you're with her every next second, then you don't need to mention all that eternal stuff before."

"Yes, that's right," Jiang Hao seemed to have an epiphany, his tone firming up, "I only want every next second you're still by my side. Yes, that's the sentence, it can't be wrong."

"Sure?"

"I'm sure, it can't be wrong," he affirmed.

Yan Junze smiled, "Mr. Jiang Hao, you should know I can't afford more losses. If it turns out to be wrong again, even if Fang Ning doesn't come looking for you, with an exorcist's means... If a Wandering Spirit follows you everywhere, I believe your life from here on out will be anything but normal."

Jiang Hao on the phone suddenly shivered, his complexion turning pale, falling silent for a while before speaking up again: "Mr. Exorcist, I swear, it must be this sentence; your previous words reminded me of it."

"Good, I'll trust you this one more time, and it's the last time," Yan Junze hung up the call.

He looked at the fountain, and like before, he set up the camera on the stone bench and put on the portable camera.

This time, however, he placed the camera over his shoulder, a bit closer to his back.

Since it was going to be back to back with Fang Ning, from the perspective of allowing the netizens to watch, a camera pointing backwards would clearly capture the scene of Fang Ning emerging from the fountain, giving a fright to those thrill-seekers on the platform.
