I can rewind time to prevent death

Huang Chen's expression froze.

After listening intently for a while, even when he brought his head close to the other person's mouth and nose, he still found that Lü Qiang's breathing had become barely audible.

Startled, Huang Chen quickly reached out again, pried open Lü Qiang's mouth with his thumb and forefinger, and another large clump of silvery-white hair was pulled out.

This time, the hair was noticeably longer, some of it having reached at least as far as Lü Qiang's throat, visibly saliva-coated at the ends.

At that moment, a crackling sound came from Lü Qiang's throat, like a drowning person desperately struggling, trying to cry for help but unable to make a sound.

Huang Chen leaped onto the bed and forcefully pried Lü Qiang's mouth open wider, this time inserting three fingers to grab and pull out even more hair.

The silvery-white hair seemed endless, pulled out in clump after clump by Huang Chen.

At this moment, Huang Chen's complexion drastically changed.

…

Inside the bathroom.

While showering, Lv Xin's voice reached the living room, "Forgot to bring a towel, can someone pass me a bath towel? Thanks!"

Sitting in the living room, Lan Bing glanced at Zhang Lai; now he was the only male in the room and the only one suited to deliver a bath towel to Lv Xin.

Zhang Lai said nothing, stood up and asked Wang Qin, "Where's the towel?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Wang Qin pointed towards the small bedroom across the hallway, "I saw a dry one hanging on the edge of the bed in there."

Zhang Lai went into the small bedroom, quickly found a dry white bath towel, and headed for the bathroom.

Just then, the sound of knocking on the door arose.

Lan Bing and Wang Qin were startled, exchanging glances.

At this time, in this place, other than Lv Xin who had just returned, there would be no one else seeking them out.

If it were the other neighbors, they'd probably avoid them at all costs, with no one taking the initiative to come knocking.

It could only be other Exorcists from the Exorcism team.

With Lv Jiayan in her arms, Wang Qin was not in a position to get up. So Lan Jing stood up, walked to the door, peered through the peephole, and immediately tensed up, frozen in place.

"Who is it outside?" asked Wang Qin.

Lan Jing turned to look at her, suppressing the shock in her heart, she uttered a sentence that almost made Wang Qin faint.

"It's... Lv Xin."

"Lv... Lv Xin is at the door?" Wang Qin paled, unconsciously clutching her daughter, who was also terrified, and casting her gaze towards the direction of the bathroom. "Then... who is... in the... bathroom?"

Lan Jing did not open the door but immediately turned around and dashed towards the bathroom.

Right as she reached the bathroom door, she braked sharply with one foot and did not proceed further.

The bathroom door was open, but the interior was pitch-dark, as if she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.

The light that had been on just moments ago was now extinguished, and Zhang Lai, who had just entered with a bath towel, had also vanished without a trace.

As if the bathroom had never been visited at all,

"Get inside, into the master bedroom! Quick!" Lan Jing shouted to Wang Qin.

No sooner had she spoken than she raised her hand and threw a Hidden Buckle into the bathroom.

A loud bang sounded out.

A flash of white light finally revealed the situation inside the bathroom.

There was no Lv Xin washing up, only Zhang Lai standing there, still holding the white towel, one end of which had drooped to the floor.

On Zhang Lai's shoulder, this two-star Exorcist, sat a short, elderly woman with short hair, wearing a light cotton dress.

The old woman was perched on his shoulder, leaning over and extending her tongue, licking Zhang Lai's forehead bit by bit, her saliva trickling down his forehead onto his cheeks.

At this moment, Zhang Lai's eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost consciousness.

From outside the living room door, Lv Xin's voice was heard,"Why isn't the door open? Where is everyone?"

"Don't come in, leave here immediately!" Lan Jing yelled.

The Hidden Buckle she had thrown out earlier was known as "Sweeper," a basic Exorcism Hidden Buckle commonly equipped by Exorcists, effective in rapidly clearing supernatural magnetic fields in a short time.

Normally, a single "Sweeper" would be enough to clear a typical Wandering Spirit, and two of them should suffice for a higher-ranked Wandering Spirit.

But the current situation was such that after throwing one "Sweeper," it only made the supernatural entity reveal itself, rather than eliminating the adversary.

Without giving it a second thought, Lan Jing threw out another "Sweeper."

Following a bang and a white light, the supernatural being, suspected to be Granny Ren, did not disappear nor show any signs of being affected; it raised its head, no longer licking Zhang Lai's forehead, and its gaze turned cold and ominous as it looked at Lan Jing standing at the bathroom door.

"Ah!" Lan Jing took a step back in a panic, her eyes wide open as if she had just seen something unbelievable, and she blurted out, "Sculpting... Sculpting Spirit level!"

Inside the bedroom.

Wang Qin, holding her daughter Lv Jiayan's hand, burst into the room and quickly closed the door behind her.

Then the mother and daughter froze, shocked to see Huang Chen standing on the bed, with Lv Qiang still sound asleep and a pile of long and short grey-white hairs next to the pillow.

Hair of some unknown thing.

Huang Chen looked up and saw the two entering, and noticing that something was off with Wang Qin's facial expression, he asked, "What happened?"

"Zhang... Mr. Zhang Lai is in trouble, that person who entered the house... Lv Xin, there's something... something wrong with him!" Wang Qin stammered out.

But before she could finish, Huang Chen jumped down from the bed and said, "Your husband should be fine now. I'm going out to help. Don't come out unless you hear our instructions."

He opened the door and then looked back, "Lock the door!"

After closing the door, Wang Qin hurriedly locked it.

Mother and daughter stood in the bedroom, hearts thumping loudly, holding hands and listening intently to the noises outside.

Lv Jiayan, however, turned her head and glanced at her father lying on the bed.

She saw that Lv Qiang seemed to be sleeping soundly, but his mouth was wide open, which was a bit frightening.

Especially those piles of grey-white hairs by the pillow, whose origins were unknown, some of which even appeared to be wet.

Could they be coming from his mouth?

The young girl's mind raced, and upon this realization, her panic surged and she involuntarily shrank into her mother's embrace.

But Wang Qin's attention was all on the noises outside, because the scene in the living room had been truly terrifying, especially after hearing Lan Jing say that the person knocking outside was Lv Xin, who had just entered the bathroom to take a shower, which almost made her faint.

Glancing at her husband, she noticed that Lv Qiang, in his drunken state, was like a pile of mud except for his unusually wide-open mouth, which was strange. But Wang Qin didn't think too deeply about it, nor did she have the time to ponder.

It sounded like there were voices outside, but they were very faint, prompting Wang Qin to focus all her attention on her hearing, attempting to discern if Lan Jing and the others had subdued Granny Ren's strangeness.

Just then, Lv Jiayan tugged on Wang Qin's sleeve and whispered in a voice barely audible, "Mom, there's something moving inside Dad's mouth."

At that moment, the lights in the bedroom suddenly went out.

Because the curtains were drawn completely shut, when the lights went out, the entire bedroom was plunged into darkness.

Wang Qin had just managed to understand what her daughter was saying when suddenly, she could see nothing but darkness.

Instinctively, she hugged Lv Jiayan and they moved to the light switch by the bedroom door, fumbling for a moment before hitting the switch, but despite several attempts, it didn't work.

"Did... did you see it clearly? Your dad is... is sleeping, how can there be something in... in his mouth?"

"Yeah, I saw it clearly, it looked like... it looked like hair coming out of his mouth," said Lv Jiayan definitively.

Slowly, their eyes began to adjust to the darkness.

Through the dimness, they thought they saw someone get out of bed and stand rigidly beside it.
