I can rewind time to prevent death

Inside and outside the door, in this moment, there was a silence as of death.

Suddenly, the doorknob turned from the outside, the door opened, and two Brown-clothed People didn't enter one after the other but sidled in simultaneously.

As soon as they stepped in, both of them froze. Directly opposite the now-open door stood Zhenzhen and Ke'er, two strangenesses.

Ke'er's legs sprang into action, pouncing towards one of the Brown-clothed People, while Zhenzhen's mouth opened wide, her strong and forceful tongue shooting out and aimed at the other one.

Both Brown-clothed People were clutching those metal sticks in their hands, instantly activating the golden glow. The light covered them, rapidly solidifying Ke'er in mid-air, followed by the tongue lashing out from Zhenzhen gradually being immobilized.

The scene was very similar to the last time Yan Junze rewound, when the Back-faced Woman's long hair was caught in a standoff with the golden light after stabbing out.

The difference was that the Back-faced Woman used her hair, while Zhenzhen used her own long tongue.

Seeing that they had temporarily controlled the two strangenesses, the two Brown-clothed People were about to call out for their companions.

At that moment, one of the Brown-clothed People suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? That's not right! Why is this woman attacking me with her tongue, and not her hair?"

As soon as his words fell, he finally realized something at that moment, his pupils dilating dramatically as his gaze fixed upon the controlled Zhenzhen, confirming his suspicion.

At the same time that he confirmed his guess, the Brown-clothed Man felt a tightness around his neck, swiftly ensnared by the soft bifurcated tongue of the Crawler Monster that had been hanging from the ceiling.

The attack method of the Crawler Monster's tongue was the exact opposite of Zhenzhen's—extremely flexible and agile, instantly tightening around the Brown-clothed Man's neck so solidly that his eyes bulged out, his mouth opened, and his tongue nearly squeezed forth.

The other Brown-clothed Person was terrified, his hand trembling, nearly losing control of the golden glow shooting from the metal stick, lips parting as he was about to shout for help.

From behind the screen beside him, the Back-faced Woman's long hair shot straight through, swishing past and piercing through the necks of both men from the side unexpectedly, and from the punctured skin, countless stiff hairs sprouted, skewering the necks of the two Brown-clothed People like a candied haw.

In the process, they were never able to notify their searching companions.

In the instant she killed the two Brown-clothed People, the Back-faced Woman again cut off the shared vision with her Semi-Spirit Body, of course, this was done per Yan Junze's instructions.

By now, it could be confirmed that Yan Junze, who was still in Ku Zai's cold storage, would finally feel uneasy about the fate of the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er.

Of course, mere unease was not enough to provide sufficient motivation for Yan Junze at this time to initiate the Great Rewind in the future to save the mother and daughter.

In fact, Yan Junze standing here now proved that his future self would definitely come to save Ke'er and the Back-faced Woman.

He suspected the reasons behind it, but only when that moment truly came would Yan Junze dare to be certain.

By now, the Crawler Monster had retracted its forked tongue and was climbing down the wall to the room's doorway, gently closing the door.

Yan Junze wriggled out from under the medicine cabinet, muttering to himself, "Three times, finally done."

Naturally, no one understood what he said.

The Back-faced Woman gathered her hair, slowly lowering the two corpses to the ground.

Yan Junze walked over, looking down at the metal sticks still clutched in their hands.

He shook his head, mainly because he didn't belong to the current space-time, and had to go back anyway. However, during the process of returning through the Space-Time Rift, it seemed that some things not belonging to that time-space couldn't be taken along, whereas certain very special items were exceptions.

Even if he wanted to take a metal stick back for research, he was now powerless to do so.

"Let's clean up here quickly," Yan Junze said. "And Back-faced Woman, have you decided? It's safe for now, but with these two dead here, they'll soon be discovered."

The Back-faced Woman fell silent.

Outside in the corridor on the third floor.

Two Brown-clothed People, one tall and one short, walked out of the room next to the medicine room, chatting as they passed the closed door of the medicine room.

"Has this room been searched?" asked the taller one in USA English.

The shorter Brown-clothed Person stopped, standing in front of the door, and shook his head, "The boss ordered us to open all the searched areas, this door is closed, so it probably hasn't been searched."

"Let's check it out." The taller one turned back, holding a metal stick in one hand while grabbing the doorknob with the other, jerking it fiercely.

The two peered in the moment the door swung open.

Just then, a Brown-clothed Person happened to walk out from inside the medicine room, almost bumping into the two.

"Oh, there's someone in there." The taller one jumped in surprise, asking, "How's the situation?"

"Nothing," replied the Brown-clothed Person, looking up and then turning back to urge the room, "Hurry up."

The tall and short Brown-clothed People nodded without suspicion and continued down the hallway to the next room.

The Brown-clothed Person at the medicine room's doorway waited for them to leave before stepping out, deliberately leaving the door open, then headed slowly towards the staircase.

Inside the medicine room, hidden in the corner under the large medicine cabinet, two bodies were laid flat, one corpse intact, and the other stripped of its brown uniform, clad only in underwear.
