I Can Rewind

  Chapter 82 Seventh Day

   I searched the house again, and after questioning Lin Ling and Su Muyao after waking up, I was sure that there was no ghost of the mother-in-law here anymore.

  Zhang Xiaomo searched again with the energy field emitted by the magnetic knife, and then brought Yan Junze back to the first floor.

   Enter the house and close the door.

  Zhang Xiaomo said: "Grandma Ren has already solved it, but just to be on the safe side, I will stay with you until tomorrow afternoon."

   "Then we go together, or..."

   Before Yan Junze finished speaking, Zhang Xiaomo said again: "I want to leave first, take a plane to go to the closed city, I booked the ticket seven days ago."

   "Well, I've worked hard for you these few days." Yan Junze nodded.

  To be honest, he has been opening the rewinding timeline, which loops every four hours, and he has not dared to close it until now.

   Anyway, let’s talk about it after tomorrow.

  The pressure accumulated in my heart these days gradually dissipated. After lying on the bed, Yan Junze quickly fell asleep.

  Woke up in the morning, even Zhang Xiaomo slept a little longer, and almost woke up with him.

  The two went to a restaurant for the first time in history, but Yan Junze listened to Zhang Xiaomo's suggestion and did not open champagne to celebrate.

  Then the two of them brought some food to Su Muyao and Lin Ling who hadn't gone to work. After being separated from their spirits, the two of them, like Lin Dong, were a little listless, but they would recover soon after two days of rest.

  In the afternoon, Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo went to see Lin Dong again.

   Lin Dong is already fine, but he was frightened by his mother-in-law, and he looks a little out of his mind. Old Li from the street even made a special trip to look after him.

  This kind of mental trauma can only be healed by time.

  After dinner, Yan Junze proposed to go for a walk.

  Zhang Xiaomo did not refuse.

  The two walked slowly along the street at the foot of the rock.

  Walking for a while, Yan Junze said: "After this incident, I feel that intervention and division are simply the two major killers of supernatural beings."

Zhang Xiaomo shook her head: "For You Ling, stepping in and branching out are very childish, and it's easy to understand. But Granny Ren is already at the semi-spirit level close to the plastic spirit, so her spirit branching emerges endlessly, and stepping in will be unexpected. Sometimes it looks weird."

  Yan Junze smiled and said: "No matter how weird it is, it will be seen through in front of you. It was at Su Muyao's place yesterday. If you don't hold me, I might already..."

  Zhang Xiaomo said: "This is for training, as well as the accumulation of experience in dealing with it. If you encounter it a few times, you will also have a sense of stress."

  Yan Junze nodded.

  The two of them were almost at the end of the old street, which happened to be No. 39 of the old street where Yan Junze detected the task of "The Hanged Woman" last time.

  Yan Junze raised his head and glanced at an empty and abandoned building not far away.

  There are a lot of self-built houses here. This building also looks like a self-built house, but it has three floors. The outermost door panels have been cracked, and the dark interior space can be seen through the broken door panels.

   "Come on, let's go over there." Zhang Xiaomo pointed to another street.

  Yan Junze couldn't help asking: "This should be the weird place you mentioned last time. Why don't you just take action to settle it when you see it now?"

Zhang Xiaomo said: "Any weirdness that makes people unable to live normally has been reported to the spirit eliminator and queued up. As long as there is no emergency, according to the regulations, I can't intervene. If no one reports it, it means that the weirdness is not dangerous. I don't need to do it either."

   "Just watching it under your nose like this?" Yan Junze was still puzzled.

"The weirdness of this world suddenly broke out more than half a year ago, and our team was only established at that time, so we are still facing many difficulties that cannot be solved." Zhang Xiaomo looked up at the house in the distance, "We have our own rules of conduct , where weird events can form a magnetic field effect, which is one of the rules and cannot be changed at will."

   "I don't understand." Yan Junze shook his head.

   "That is to say, when a weird event itself has not erupted enough to be resolved, if you solve it, other weird events within the corresponding magnetic field may...be enhanced, or some unknown mutation will occur."

  Yan Junze was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this what he said in [Strange Event Perception], that the event level may increase probabilistically over time?

  It seems that the spirit removers are not vegetarians, and they have also grasped this clearly.

  The two were talking, but they approached No. 114 on Yanjiao Back Street.

  Here is where the Lin family's yard in the second mission detected by Yan Junze is located.

  He tilted his head slightly, paying attention to Zhang Xiaomo's reaction, only to find that she just glanced at the seemingly abandoned courtyard, and said nothing after looking away.

  Of course, it is impossible for Yan Junze himself to bring it up, otherwise his secret may be exposed.

  He paid a little attention to this dilapidated yard. The walls around the yard were intact, but covered with ivy and weeds. The houses around the Lin family's yard were marked with the word "demolished", but they were not demolished for some reason.

  So there is no one living near here.

   "It feels so remote here." Yan Junze said something on purpose.

   "Well, let's go back." Zhang Xiaomo didn't say anything.

   The two returned to the rental house, greeted Lin Dong, and decided to stay until tomorrow before checking out.

  Lin Dong agreed without hesitation, but he was still lying on his bed with a sluggish expression.

   Seeing this scene, Yan Junze felt a little sorry in his heart. If he hadn't come by himself, he would not have become like this.

   Fortunately, these innocent people did not lose their lives.

   "I'll sleep on the sofa outside tonight. On the last day, I'll give you this bed to sleep well." Yan Junze said to Zhang Xiaomo.

  Zhang Xiaomo didn't say anything, after a while Yan Junze took out his quilt and threw it on the sofa.

   When it was time to go to bed, the two turned off the lights in the inner room and the outer room respectively. The moonlight came in from the window, and they didn't fall asleep for a while.

   After a while, Zhang Xiaomo's voice came out: "Your physique is very good. If you have the opportunity, you can come to our place to test it. You may be an excellent spirit remover. Don't waste it."

   "Let's talk when we have a chance." This time, Yan Junze didn't refuse.

  In his feeling, even if he can't be a spirit remover, he will have many opportunities to deal with spirit removers in the future. This cannot be avoided.

  The two talked for a while, and Yan Junze didn't know when he fell asleep.

  I just vaguely felt that while I was lying on the sofa, a black figure slowly came from the back room, a bit like Zhang Xiaomo, but not like it.

  He couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't move, as if he had suddenly encountered a ghost on the bed. He was conscious, but his body was stiff.

  The man approached and stood beside him without saying a word.

  Yan Junze felt cold sweat breaking out on his body, and desperately wanted to open his eyes. His body trembled slightly as he struggled desperately.

  The man moved, bent down, and put his face in front of him.

  At this moment, Yan Junze suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a wrinkled, sallow cheek.

  This face is too familiar to him.

  Hate my mother-in-law!

  Hoo...

  Yan Junze suddenly sat up from the sofa, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he looked around, but there was nothing.

   Dreaming! Was it a dream? !

   "After being hunted down by a monster with a strong magnetic field, it is lucky to survive. It will cause delusional hallucinations for a period of time. This is normal, and it will be fine if you don't worry about it." Zhang Xiaomo's voice suddenly came from the bedroom, very calm, as if he was used to it.
