I can rewind time to prevent death

He went over everything that had just happened in his mind.

Honestly, Yan Junze had not expected the murderer to be Granny Ren's eldest son, Lü Qiang.

It seemed the guy's death wasn't unjustified; a pity for the other members of the Lv family, though.

Although they were all not very kind to Granny Ren, their actions did not warrant death, yet now Resentful Granny had gone mad. As a so-called "Semi-Sculpting Spirit" level Evil Spirit, she could no longer be judged by normal standards.

This time, if the Exorcist team didn't send someone to protect him, one of Yan Junze's plans was to bring Yu Xiaochang to his side.

But Resentful Granny might still go after Yu Xiaochang's family. It wasn't possible for him to move into the Yu family's house and stop attending classes, thus completely abandoning his previous life.

Yan Junze laid his head on the desk, elbows propped on the edge, hands buried in his hair, rubbing unconsciously.

His second plan was...

Just as he reached this thought, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

"Huh!"

Yan Junze didn't need to look back; he knew Ke'er was back.

When Ke'er saw Yan Junze lying on the desk rubbing his head, she thought he was washing his hair again, which was why she exclaimed in surprise.

However, after seeing that he was just dry rubbing, her excitement dimmed, and she scurried across the floor to climb onto Yan Junze's back, clinging tightly to him.

A chill seeped into his body from his back, calming the frustrated Yan Junze down gradually.

The second plan was to use Ke'er.

This girl Ke'er had a habit of disappearing now and then, and every time she ran faster than a rabbit before he could catch a glimpse of the Back-faced Woman—with no doubt, even more reliable than an Early Warning Bell.

At the moment, Yan Junze could set a Rewind timeline of approximately 240 minutes, which is about 4 hours.

If there was no Rewind during this period, no energy would be consumed, and he could set another Rewind after 4 hours.

In other words, he could keep setting Rewinds without a break.

As long as he was within the coverage range of the Rewind timeline, and Ke'er on his back started to flee after sensing danger, he could Rewind to a moment before Ke'er fled, avoiding emergencies in advance.

Of course, Resentful Granny wouldn't be seeking revenge all the time, so Rewinds wouldn't be ongoing indefinitely, which meant there would definitely be room and time for Different Dimension Energy recovery.

Right now, this seemed to be the most viable method.

Actually, upon further contemplation, it wasn't impossible for the Exorcists to send someone to protect him. Although he was just a high school senior with no special status, he had helped the Exorcists resolve their recent trouble.

If Huang Chen proved reliable and applied to his superiors a few times, clarifying his conspicuous role and effective contributions in resolving the Resentful Granny issue, maybe they would send a high-level Exorcist to protect him, right?

Sure, if Huang Chen turned out to be dependable.

Smacking his head, a large amount of dust arose from the "High-Energy Collapse" earlier, which not only covered his clothes but also added a layer of gray to his freshly washed hair, now spreading all over his desk.

"Let's go, time for a shower and to wash your hair. That ought to give you a good show!" Yan Junze temporarily set aside his concerns, ready to satisfy Ke'er as much as he possibly could.

"Huh!" Ke'er tilted her head, lying on Yan Junze's back, her dark fingers continuously playing with the nape of his neck.

Then, ten minutes later, Yan Junze in the bathroom taking a shower, his naked self covered in soapy foam, suddenly received a message from the Spacetime Atlas.

[Ke'er (Wandering Spirit) favorability has increased, current favorability: Intimate]

Yan Junze remembered that Ke'er had initially held a "Neutral" attitude towards him, but as they spent more time together, it seemed his habitual head-washing flair had charmed this little red-dressed fan.

So, the favorability increased to "friendly". Your journey continues on empire

But now, it's obvious the favorability has risen again, and it has reached "intimate".

Thinking about it, this might already be the limit of the evil spirit's favorability towards me, because after intimacy, it's not like we could physically commit to each other.

During dinner, Yan Junze didn't mention anything about what happened today to avoid worrying his parents.

As for the possibility of the Resentful Granny really coming in three days, and if there were no exorcist to protect him, he already had plans to move into the school dormitory.

Currently, there aren't many students living on campus, and many dorm rooms are vacant, so applying for a dorm would be quick, and he could have a room all to himself, not disturbing anyone else.

Of course, Yan Junze didn't say anything about it now, he intended to wait.

Ke'er, now in an intimate state with Yan Junze, was almost completely obedient to him. Normally, she would lay on top of him, but as soon as he spoke up, Ke'er would slide off obediently and stand aside.

Then she would quietly follow Yan Junze around.

Yan Junze had tried this a few times, and it was very effective.

The next day after class, Yan Junze made a call to Tang Zhengyi, the editor from the "Open Your Eyes" video platform.

Tang Zhengyi was somewhat surprised upon hearing that the filming for Spirit Exploration might need to be put on hold, "Why delay?"

Yan Junze couldn't possibly tell him that he was being hunted by another extremely ferocious and malevolent strangeness, as the editor might come up with some even more exciting suggestions.

For example, having Yan Junze wear a camera at all times for a live broadcast of a perfect chase by strangeness.

"Seems like I caught a cold, not feeling well, need a few days to rest and recuperate," Yan Junze said.

After a brief silence on the other end, Tang Zhengyi said, "Then take some medicine and rest for a few days, let me know immediately once you recover from the cold. The equipment we invested in can't be left unused for too long."

"Yeah, I know," Yan Junze hung up the phone.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had forgotten to film the task of consuming spirits, but then he thought that even if he had filmed it, it probably couldn't be uploaded online.

After all, for many people, evil spirit-eating wouldn't be immediately acceptable, and broadcasting it might seem like a crazy pursuit of fame.

At that time, it wouldn't just draw attention from the general public, but likely even the exorcist higher-ups in Great Capital Huaying would take notice, making it tremendously difficult to undertake other tasks in the future.

...

The countdown to the college entrance examination was getting closer.

In these days, students rarely talked about other things; the main topics were about studies and the universities they planned to apply to.

Since his last conversation with Yan Junze on the rooftop, Zhou Dali put away his young heart, completely transforming himself, not only focusing on his cultural studies but also exercising in various ways on the school grounds every day.

Of course, slogans like "Great Capital has Dali, Dali creates miracles" never left his lips.

After a day at school, Yan Junze suddenly found he had developed a bad habit of frequently checking the time.

Almost every hour, he would check the time and then calculate in his mind how much was left of the 72 hours.

That feeling was like setting a countdown to the end of his own world.

The next day was also spent in this edgy and uneasy mood.

By the evening of the second day, he planned to "confess" to his parents, using the excuse of wanting to study more thoroughly with his classmates as a pretext to temporarily move into the school dormitory.
