I can rewind time to prevent death

The back of the head of the person sitting in the front row did indeed give Yan Junze a flicker of familiarity.

Then, his memory was fully activated, and the doubts that he had failed to connect in the past few days suddenly made sense.

Zhang Xiaomo had mentioned that not more than 48 hours had passed since Lin Dong was subjected to Spirit-Splitting, and deep in his subconscious, Yan Junze had already thought of Lv Xin.

Because after the "Evil Spirit-eating" task ended, Lv Xin's divided spirit had been ejected by a High-Energy Collapse and escaped through the window.

However, according to Yan Junze's analysis, from the day he first encountered Lv Xin, Lv Xin had entered room 503 of FH Community where Granny Ren resided. If he had undergone Spirit-Splitting, although the exact time was unknown, if it were calculated from that point, it would definitely not be just 48 hours but far more.

Now, having obtained confirmation over the phone from Zhang Xiaomo, Yan Junze was certain that there was no saving Lv Xin after the Spirit-Splitting, even though it seemed that the Spirit-Splitting had already ejected it from his body that day.

That is to say, Resentful Granny had always been hiding inside him.

If the entity they killed at Lin Ling and Su Muyao's home was Resentful Granny's main body, then after the main body was destroyed, the divided spirit that had been hiding inside Lv Xin could also evolve into a new main body.

With all the information pieced together, only at this moment did Yan Junze realize that Resentful Granny might have known she was no match for Zhang Xiaomo, so she purposefully let her main body be destroyed, leading to Zhang Xiaomo's departure and then sending Lv Xin to come.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was not a technique used by Wandering Spirits; even high-level Wandering Spirits couldn't pull off such a trick.

She had not only deceived him but even Zhang Xiaomo, the three-star Exorcist, had been deceived.

Sitting on the shaky bus.

Almost the second he noticed something was off, Yan Junze activated the starting point of the Rewind timeline, then without setting an endpoint, directly entered a loop.

He now regretted not having kept a loop of about four hours of Rewind going as he had done the day before; otherwise, he could have simply rewound to before boarding the bus and could rethink his plan.

Although, based on the current situation, Resentful Granny must have premeditated for a long time, and the idea of not boarding the bus to escape the predicament was nearly impossible.

Calling Zhang Xiaomo was just Yan Junze's way of confirming his suspicion, and now this guess he was reluctant to believe had become reality.

Zhang Xiaomo was far away in the Sealed City, and distant waters could not quench a nearby fire; she simply couldn't rush over immediately from there.

She did say over the phone that she would immediately alert the Exorcist squad of Shuntian City, but having Huang Chen and those few Exorcists come over would be no different from sending them to their deaths.

Relying on outsiders for rescue was virtually an optionless path; at this moment, he was isolated, isolated on this bus.

Observing the back of Lv Xin, who sat up straight without looking around or ever turning his head to look his way.

Yan Junze's drowsiness had long been swept away; he put his phone back in his backpack and stared silently at Lv Xin's back, with no intention of approaching.

He was waiting for the next stop to arrive.

As soon as the bus reached a stop, he would immediately grab his backpack and get off, alighting first, not wanting to stay in the same space as Lv Xin. Read latest chapters at empire

At that moment, the bus was passing through a rough road section, with one side abutting the mountain and the other a steep slope of about thirty meters.

Among the routes from Rock to the city, only this section was tougher to navigate and carried a degree of risk.

However, the bus drivers were accustomed to it, with the driver even whistling.

After this section, there would be a bus stop, but given the secluded terrain and the early hour, there might not be any passengers waiting at the stop.

Yan Junze gripped the strap of his backpack, ready to leap off as soon as the bus pulled over and the doors opened.

However, in his mind, he knew that after taking such an action, Lv Xin, who had remained silent till now, would definitely react, and he would certainly not allow Yan Junze to escape just like that.

Just at that moment, Lv Xin suddenly stood up.

Yan Junze was taken aback, his gaze fixed intently on him.

He saw that Lv Xin didn't turn around, not even glancing back at himself, but instead got up and walked straight towards the bus driver who was whistling.

"What are you doing? The road here is steep and dangerous, be careful not to fall, sit down quickly." The driver, noticing Lv Xin coming towards him, promptly voiced a warning.

Lv Xin's movements suddenly quickened, and in a few steps he was beside the driver's cabin.

Next to the driver's cabin was a metal railing, installed to prevent passengers from getting too close to the driver and interfering with the operation of the vehicle.

But after Lv Xin neared the driver, he tensed his footsteps, stooped slightly, and with a fierce shoulder bump, he sent the sturdy metal railing flying. The powerful impact did not stop there but continued to hit the driver and the steering wheel.

The driver never expected a person could exert such a great impact force. In just an instant, his hands were off the steering wheel, and he was knocked down by Lv Xin against the cabin door, falling unconscious instantly.

The steering wheel flew off as well, and the whole bus tilted to the left.

It was only then that Yan Junze reacted, realizing that Lv Xin wasn't going to trouble him directly but instead, his target was the whole bus.

It seemed slow, but in just a few seconds, the bus had completely veered off the road and was charging down a steep slope with a drop of over thirty meters.

Having done this, Lv Xin turned his head back with a chilly gaze, staring fixedly at Yan Junze who was gripping the seatback in front of him tightly.

The bus plunged down the steep slope, and the vehicle's entire body was penetrated by the strong and violent impact force, then Lv Xin himself was flung out first.

Rewind!

The bus was about to turn over; Yan Junze could only "rewind".

He sat back down, and Lv Xin had just boarded the bus and settled down not long ago, precisely when Yan Junze saw him and began to suspect.

He didn't call Zhang Xiaomo to confirm because confirmation was no longer needed, but he knew that Zhang Xiaomo might call soon, so he set his phone to vibrate.

"Master, stop the bus, I need to get off." Yan Junze suddenly shouted.

The driver, without turning his head, said, "We don't stop midway; we stop at the bus station ahead."

Lv Xin obviously heard their conversation, but he showed no reaction.

Yan Junze stood up, shouldered his backpack, and walked over directly, pretending not to notice Lv Xin. He came to the metal railing outside the driver's seat, leaned on the railing, and said, "Master, please stop the bus, I've forgotten something at the bus station where I boarded."

"We can't stop now, there are rules," the driver still refused.

Yan Junze leaned his upper body closer to him and lowered his voice, whispering, "The person sitting not far from you is a 'strangeness'. Look at him, he has been emotionless and staring at you for quite some time."

"You want to get off, right." The driver suddenly shivered, touched something on his chest somewhat guiltily.

In this era, one might not believe other things, but when it comes to 'strangenesses', as soon as they appear, almost no one doubts. Besides, if there were doubts, it would be after the fact — nobody would joke with their own lives on the spot.

As for the thing the driver couldn't help touching, Yan Junze believed it must be something like a Jade Buddha he was wearing.

Suddenly, the bus pulled to the side and came to a stop with inertia. The driver also stood up, casting a glance at Lv Xin, intentionally or not.

The latter was indeed emotionless, just sitting there vacantly, staring blankly.

The driver felt even more uneasy: "I also need to take a leak."

The door of the bus opened.
