I can rewind time to prevent death

```

Startled by Yan Junze's words, Guan Hongna was completely petrified, her mouth agape with surprise as she stared at him.

"I am an exorcist, please believe me," Yan Junze said, his face showing sympathy. He flashed his Exorcist's Travel Permit and then reached out a caring hand towards Guan Hongna, his palm open in a gesture that said, "Let me handle any danger that comes our way."

"Hand it over to me. Be careful when you take it off, don't let it break. If this strangeness gets released by accident, even with the joint efforts of me and the exorcist protecting this plane, we wouldn't be able to deal with it."

Yan Junze spoke softly, his voice gentle as if he was the affectionate "big brother" from FM 109.6 MHz "Whispers" at midnight – Mr. Giant Sun.

Finding Yan Junze's words to make a lot of sense, Guan Hongna, who had been hesitating, involuntarily took off her necklace and placed it on the palm of his open hand.

Yan Junze clenched it and tucked it into his pocket, comforting her, "It's alright. I won't tell the captain about your jewelry, this will be our little secret."

After a pause, he added, "However, the cargo hold is still temporarily closed. No one can go down there before the plane lands. You can tell the captain or the exorcist guarding this airplane to come find me; I will explain it to them."

Although Yan Junze had guessed the origin of all the troubles might be the turquoise, he still decided it was best not to let the stewardess enter the cargo hold for precaution.

What if, although the turquoise was no longer on Guan Hongna, she still had an accident and died?

No one could say for sure.

Or what if Guan Hongna didn't die, but the problem wasn't just with the turquoise and there were other strangenesses in the cargo hold?

Therefore, temporarily closing the cargo hold was the wisest choice.

"After this flight, when you go back, tell your grandfather and father that the turquoise, being very dangerous, was taken away by an exorcist," Yan Junze said. "If they have any questions, they can come to ask me."

He then left Guan Hongna with his contact information.

Back in his seat, Yan Junze pulled a blanket over himself and shut his eyes, pretending to rest while he mused to himself, "I saved your life; taking just a piece of turquoise isn't too much, right?"

Soon after, Di Zhiwen returned, clutching his stomach, still looking a bit uncomfortable.

Yan Junze squinted at him, timing his return in his mind. The professor had been squatting in the toilet for such a long time; he might be constipated – definitely needed to lubricate his intestines.

But with the exorcism of the airplane's supernatural event, everything had returned to normal, and nothing else happened.

Yan Junze slipped his hand into his coat pocket, continually feeling the turquoise pendant in his grasp. Truth be told, the pendant was actually quite ordinary, and if it wasn't for the magnetic field fluctuations he noticed while observing it, Yan Junze wouldn't have given it a second glance.

Just who had such ability to confine a powerful strangeness, nearing an Ethereal spirit in strength, inside this turquoise?

If it was due to a fortunate coincidence that the spirit got trapped inside the stone, that would be one thing; but if someone deliberately sealed it in there, that person's strength made Yan Junze's skin crawl.

Confining a Semi-Ethereal Spirit inside a turquoise was like child's play to this individual, whose prowess must at least be that of a five-star exorcist, and Yan Junze suspected that even among five-star exorcists, not everyone would be capable of this feat – it would have to be one of the very top tier.

Furthermore, upon closer consideration, it seemed that Guan Hongna's grandfather and father were also no simple characters. If the seal of the Semi-Ethereal Spirit was man-made, then either the family had close ties with that expert or the expert was someone related to Guan Hongna, like a relative or friend.

Luckily, Yan Junze had been cautious when leaving his contact information with Guan Hongna.

However, nobody expected that Guan Hongna would really accidentally die in the cargo hold, allowing the confined Semi-Ethereal Spirit to seize the opportunity and appear.

Now with the turquoise in hand, if he could make use of the strangeness within, it would be great!

Yan Junze believed that if used well, this could be very beneficial to him. Of course, this assumed that he first took good care of the turquoise and prevented any damage to it.

All was safe on the journey.

Upon arrival in Huaying District, Yan Junze met with the captain of the flight and the exorcist Duan Ning.

After showing his A-grade Exorcist Travel Permit, the three discussed for a moment. Duan Ning used a Spirit Detector to thoroughly explore the cargo hold and the nearby area, finding no signs of any strangeness.

Afterward, Yan Junze joined him, and the two went into the cargo hold to double-check the plane's safety.

During this time, Di Zhiwen and the colleagues from the academic association waiting to meet him at the airport lounge stayed whereas Yan Junze wrapped up on his end; then the three left together.

The colleagues who came to greet him were surprised to hear that Yan Junze was also an external exorcist and couldn't help but scrutinize him the entire time.

Di Zhiwen visited Huaying District for an academic forum hosted by the association. As an invited guest, he attended discussions about research on time.

The two were accommodated at one of Huaying District's best hotels, the Happy Starlight Hotel, in a luxury standard room.

After arriving, they learned that the forum was set to last a week, with the first official day starting tomorrow.

The person who came to meet them at the airport was Di Zhiwen's local contact, responsible for notifying and scheduling his daily itinerary. Being his first day, they would settle into the hotel and get briefed on the upcoming schedule.
