I can rewind time to prevent death

Mickey let out a scream as the Back-faced Woman's nails pierced into his back and emerged from his chest, suspending him in midair.

No matter how much Mickey struggled, it was futile.

In fact, after being struck by Yan Junze's Black Spirit Mallet, he had no strength left to struggle.

"This guy will inform an exorcist organization about your whereabouts, and faced with that organization, you two have no power to fight back," Yan Junze came over, picked up the mallet from the ground, and explained to the Back-faced Woman.

Then he glanced at the dwarf and noticed that where the mallet had struck his head, a dense black aura was constantly evaporating, seemingly unable to last much longer.

Ke'er ran over, climbed onto Yan Junze's back, and lay there, extending her dark green index finger to touch his earlobe.

For now, the mother and daughter were safe.

Yan Junze breathed a sigh of relief and gently grasped Ke'er's little hand.

"We can't leave him behind, or you will be in danger."

As he spoke, Ke'er had already climbed to his front, holding Yan Junze firmly, with her little face against his shoulder, motionless.

The Back-faced Woman didn't hesitate, her fingers slowly tightened, and Dwarf Mickey's body began to shake violently, with more black aura appearing and swirling into the air.

In less than a minute, the dwarf had completely vanished.

The threat was eliminated, but that didn't mean the supermarket was currently safe.

Yan Junze said, "You must leave Zhen City; there is a group of exorcists currently searching for strangenesses here, and it's still very dangerous for you to stay."

The Back-faced Woman nodded and gestured to Ke'er.

Ke'er looked back at her mother, then turned to Yan Junze, reluctantly sliding down from him, and scurried on hands and feet to the Back-faced Woman, quickly climbing up to lie on her mother's back.

"Stay away from crowded places because you can't withstand their weapons," Yan Junze said, "After leaving Zhen City, go to FH Community in Tianmeng District, Shuntian City, where we first met, and find me."

The Back-faced Woman gave no response.

Ke'er, however, climbed onto her mother's shoulder, tilted her head to look at the Back-faced Woman, then turned her gaze back to Yan Junze.

"Huh?"

Yan Junze didn't know what they were communicating, but it was impossible to have a normal conversation as one of them had a ruined throat and the other couldn't speak directly.

After a pause, he added, "I need you in Tianmeng right now, so leave Zhen City immediately and find me at FH Community. Don't fail to show up."

Having said that, he waved to Ke'er, adding, "After arriving in Tianmeng, I'll wash your hair."

Ke'er brushed the hair covering her cheeks aside, tilting her head to look at him.

Yan Junze walked out of the supermarket, looked back and saw that the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er hadn't followed, instead heading toward the supermarket's rear, probably toward a back exit.

Turning into an alley beside the supermarket, after walking a few steps, Yan Junze activated the command to return through the Space-Time Rift.

His figure flashed, disappearing from sight.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the dust at the mouth of the alley, swirling in the air, and then settling again in front of the supermarket door.

Inside the supermarket.

The Back-faced Woman, holding Ke'er, re-entered the employee passage, and once the door was closed behind them, the Back-faced Woman headed toward the direction of the office she had emerged from during the last Rewind, as Yan Junze had seen.

Pushing open the door, the mother and daughter walked straight into the office.

The office wasn't pitch dark; there was a dim emergency light in a corner, just like the outside employee passage.

The Back-faced Woman, still holding Ke'er, approached a desk at the very back of the office, and underneath this desk lay an injured man.

The man barely opened his eyes, his right hand covering the left side of his chest, with blood oozing between his fingers, and his clothing soaked with blood.

"Is he...gone?" the man asked, his lips pale.

The Back-faced Woman nodded, while Ke'er quickly climbed down, squatting beside the man's head, her body starting to tremble slightly, as if she was very anxious about the injuries of the man before her.

"I'll be okay, don't worry," the man managed a weak smile, trying to reach out to touch Ke'er's head, but his arms were too weak to lift, "Your hair, haven't washed it yet?"

The Back-faced Woman leaned down and picked the man up (presumably onto her back), with Ke'er hurrying along behind.

The man was startled, then realizing her intent, he said, "No need to go to the hospital, my injuries can't be treated in Zhen City!"

"Medicine..." the Back-faced Woman uttered hoarsely from her ruined throat.

"No use with ordinary potions..." the man said with a bitter laugh, shaking his head.

Blood continued to drip, but any blood that landed on the Back-faced Woman's clothes vanished in an instant, evaporated by the strange magnetic field energy, leaving no stain.

The Back-faced Woman apparently paid no attention to the man's words and persisted in carrying him step by step out of the office.

No matter what, she was determined to find the nearest hospital to treat the man.

However, going to the hospital was no longer dangerous, since Dwarf Mickey had been killed, and the Half Moon Association wouldn't track them to the hospital.

"Go to Tianmeng quickly, he still needs you," the man, knowing he couldn't dissuade the Back-faced Woman's determination, said softly and then fell silent.

Ke'er obediently followed behind, looking up at him unblinkingly.

As the Back-faced Woman passed an area where the emergency light was slightly brighter with the man on her back, the light just happened to fall on his face, revealing a familiar countenance.
