I can rewind time to prevent death

This guy usually just balances a copper hammer on his head, covering it with a sun hat and just struts about like that everywhere.

No wonder he looks so out of place.

Most of the force of Yan Junze's strike was absorbed and deflected by the copper hammer. Although it made Mickey's body sink sharply, once he regained his senses, he just staggered backward, steadying himself, and then grasping the copper hammer in his hand, he gave Yan Junze an extremely ferocious look.

Actually, if it were just about the force of the blow, even if Mickey were an ordinary person, the copper hammer on top of his head would still result in his head getting smashed by that mallet.

But Junze knew that the damage his mallet inflicted on strangenesses was entirely due to the Black Spirit Pearl; it wasn't just the physical strike that was effective.

If physical strikes could kill strangenesses, what use would there be for an exorcist?

Therefore, relying solely on brute strength wouldn't kill Mickey; it required the mallet to hit him and for the Black Spirit Pearl to take effect, causing damage to the guy.

Now that the effect of the Black Spirit Pearl was completely blocked by the copper hammer, the mere physical force transferred had no effect on Mickey.

When he recovered, in addition to a fierce expression, he excitedly danced around, lifting the copper hammer and smashing it down at Yan Junze.

Junze didn't have time to tussle with him and rewound time again.

He repositioned himself beside the fifth row of shelves, his hands gripping the Black Spirit Mallet, and began to wait for the approach of the pink sun hat for the second time.

Before long, the sun hat appeared. This time, Yan Junze wouldn't smash the sun hat again.

His hands gripping the mallet like a baseball bat, he adopted a batter's stance, holding his breath as he waited for the sun hat to enter striking range.

Putting all his strength into it, he swung at Mickey's back with force. The mallet solidly hit Mickey's back, sending the guy flying into a row of shelves overhead, causing a clattering noise, before he fell back down.

After being hit by the mallet, a plume of black smoke rose from the spot on Mickey's back where he was hit, and he cried out in pain, unable to get up for a long while.

The sun hat fell off, and the copper hammer on top of his head also slid to the side.

Yan Junze quickly approached, mallet raised, ready to strike again.

Who knew that Mickey's stout short legs would kick fiercely, and despite the smoke coming from his back, he managed to dodge the strike with swift movement.

Fearing that he would escape far again, Junze swung his right arm, and the mallet grazed Mickey's shoulder, drawing more black smoke, causing Mickey to grimace in pain. But he rolled on the spot, evading once more.

The mallet, enhanced by three Black Spirit Pearls, was extraordinarily powerful. By Yan Junze's estimate, if it weren't for the copper hammer interception, a direct blow to Mickey's head just now could have possibly dispersed him on the spot.

Mickey stood up, his legs kicking out, and in an instant, he leaped over a shelf, moving out of Yan Junze's attack range.

However, at the same moment, Ke'er's characteristic "Eh?" conveniently came from behind that shelf.

Junze's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Ke'er, quickly tie up that short-legged freak, don't let him run away, wait for me to come over!"

Through the empty shelves, Ke'er quickly glanced at Yan Junze, then immediately turned her head towards Mickey, who had just steadied himself close by.

"Ahh!"

She hurled herself at Mickey with force.

At this time, Mickey had already lost his copper hammer and looked very disheveled. Although he was stronger than Ke'er, he was quickly entangled by her for a short time.

Yan Junze, carrying the mallet, took a few large strides over. Just as Mickey broke free from Ke'er and hadn't fully turned around, 'thud', his backside was struck by the mallet once more, a thick cloud of black smoke billowing out.

Meanwhile, the Back-faced Woman had heard the noise and was just stepping out of the employee passage door.

Yan Junze swung the Black Spirit Mallet once more, striking Mickey's thigh as it crawled forward, causing even more black smoke to billow out.

The dwarf emitted a pained roar, and with another forceful push of his thick legs, his small frame surprisingly accelerated again, escaping the range of Yan Junze's strike.

Bang!

The next swing missed its target, landing harshly on the ground, sending a numbing vibration through Yan Junze's palms.

"Back-faced Woman, kill him quickly!" Yan Junze looked up to see the Back-faced Woman approaching and immediately shouted.

The oppressive presence of the Back-faced Woman took effect, prompting Mickey to realize something was amiss. He flipped over, barely managing to stand up and started to run towards the supermarket entrance with his short, stubby legs.

At this point, the Back-faced Woman was still some distance away and couldn't catch up in time.

Whoosh!

A mallet flew through the air, narrowly missing Mickey's right shoulder and landing in front of him, causing Mickey to shrink his head back in fright and hastily dash out of the supermarket.

Rewind!

Mickey once again struggled to stand, the pressure from the Back-faced Woman made him realize he had to escape quickly. Having already scouted the area, he knew this mother-daughter strangeness was very special, and he needed to report back immediately.

Just then, a mallet grazed his cheek as it flew past and dropped in front of him.

Startled, Mickey shuddered, his body shrunk dramatically, and he once again successfully dashed out of the supermarket.

Rewind!

Mickey stood up again, and as the pressure from the Back-faced Woman was about to drive him to flee, a mallet dropped at his feet with such force that it sparked upon the ground, barely missing him.

Mickey jumped in shock, hopping out of the supermarket at great height, and once more vanished at the end of the street.

Rewind!

Yan Junze was fuming with anger; this time, he was determined to hit the already injured dwarf and not let him escape successfully.

Trying not to be hasty, he aimed at the target and threw with all his might, the Black Spirit Mallet flung out of his hand, but this time it flew too high, barely leaping over Mickey's head without touching him.

The thick, short legs hopped out of the supermarket, leaving a trail of dust behind.

"Damn it!"

Rewind!

Yan Junze took a deep breath, calmed himself, and controlled the strength in his hands, throwing the mallet at Mickey's back once more.

The mallet again dramatically left his hand, this time aiming for the recently risen Mickey's spine.

With a thud, the spine was untouched, but it was Mickey's occiput that was struck first by the spinning mallet.

The dwarf let out a pitiful scream and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, the Back-faced Woman appeared before him as quick as lightning, her sharp nails striking down, piercing through Mickey's back and lifting him up entirely.

This time, there was no chance of escape.
