I can rewind time to prevent death

Yan Junze spoke rapidly, but the Back-faced Woman still heard him clearly.

Without any other indication, Ke'er held the slightly beating heart in one hand while her other hand wrapped around the Back-faced Woman's neck.

Following Yan Junze's instructions, the mother and daughter duo climbed down the outer wall close to the alleyway.

This wall also had windows of the hospital building. Fearing a recurrence of what had happened before, with someone watching from the windows, Yan Junze specifically instructed the Back-faced Woman to avoid the windows while climbing down.

After the duo had descended, he stuck out his head and watched the entire process attentively.

The strength of the Back-faced Woman was already formidable; she could easily land lightly even if she jumped down, not to mention climbing like this.

For her, it was no different from child's play, with swift movements she quickly reached the first floor using her hands and feet.

Touching the ground with her feet, she immediately walked towards the outside of the alley. During this process, Yan Junze saw her figure starting to fade, ready to disappear and run away.

In fact, the so-called disappearance was just one of the strangenesses's methods of hiding themselves, which is simply not being seen by anyone, as it's impossible to vanish without a trace. Of course, more powerful strangenesses virtually disappear through a method akin to Teleport.

And some powerful Exorcists or individuals with special methods can still see them.

Like Ku Zai with their special physique.

In the eyes of Ku Zai, so far, there hasn't been a strangeness that they haven't been able to see.

If the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er could vanish perfectly, then at least there was a fifty percent chance of escape.

Just as the nearly translucent Back-faced Woman was about to turn the corner at the alley's entrance, suddenly, two men in brown uniforms appeared, blocking her path, one on the left and one on the right.

Yan Junze's gaze tightened, staring intently at the two Brown-clothed People who didn't seem like Exorcists.

If they were ordinary people, considering the Back-faced Woman's attack power and speed, these two being so close to her would be akin to courting death.

But since they dared to show up this way, Yan Junze didn't believe these two were simply looking to die; they likely had some kind of reliance.

Indeed, the two people's sudden appearance so close to her had angered the Back-faced Woman. Holding Ke'er in her arms, her speed was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she had reached them, her hands stretched out to grab their necks. But suddenly, her body shuddered.

The Back-faced Woman, along with Ke'er, was repelled by an overpowering force. The two men each held one of those baton-like weapons Yan Junze had seen before, with the tips emitting pale golden light. Converging into one, the light forcefully repelled the Back-faced Woman.

"Yaaaah..."

Ke'er let out a roar, her hair intertwining instantly with her mother's, forming multiple powerful strands of black hair.

The Back-faced Woman violently shook her head, and her hairs burst out, sharp as spikes, shooting towards the two men.

The two men obviously panicked, exchanged a glance, and gripped their "batons" without backing down. Using the golden light emitted from their tips they temporarily fended off the assault by the hairs.

A stalemate ensued, with the hard and sharp hairs held in the air by the golden light, scarcely moving forward.

Yet they still slowly progressed towards the two men.

Yan Junze's pupils contracted as he fretted inwardly, "What the hell are these two sticks?"

Seconds later, behind the Back-faced Woman, inside the alley near the hospital building's windows, three figures in brown uniforms with hoods quickly jumped out of a window.

The three men quickly approached, each drawing the same kind of "baton" and directing golden light at the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er.

The mother and daughter trembled violently, their projected hair quickly retracting. The two men who were struggling suddenly saw their reinforcements and, seizing the opportunity, pressed their advantage against the mother and daughter.

The golden light swiftly closed in, forming a circle of containment, and the Back-faced Woman inside began to falter, her body starting to curl.

Ke'er clung tightly to her mother, unable to even raise her head, equally subdued.

Time rewound.

This time, Yan Junze didn't choose to be back on the rooftop.

It looked like no matter which direction they'd attempt to escape, they would eventually be caught.

A net of heaven and earth!

Those from the USA, the Brown-clothed People, had evidently made meticulous preparations before entering the hospital. They had already formed a net around it, making the mother and daughter's escape extremely difficult.

Standing at the stairwell leading to the rooftop, he did not continue upward.

Holding Ke'er, Yan Junze quietly said to the Back-faced Woman, "Let's go back to the room we were in just now."

The one man and two strangenesses then stealthily returned to the room, closing the door behind them and locking it.

Yan Junze put down Ke'er, noting she still clutched the heart tightly, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did this heart come from? Whose is it?"

The fact that the heart was still beating even after being removed from a body indicated that its owner must be powerful; perhaps it was a strangeness as well.

At the very least, it wouldn't belong to an ordinary person.

Ke'er, holding the heart, shook her head, seemingly unsure of what to say, or perhaps unwilling to speak.

After shaking her head, she glanced at her mother and then opened her mouth wide, her lips nearly tearing apart, and shoved the heart into her mouth. Her throat bulged as the eye could see the heart sliding down and then brutally swallowed into her stomach.
