I can rewind time to prevent death

"What did you say?" Liu Jialan was startled, thinking she must have misunderstood in her drowsy state.

She quickly sat up, staring at Wan Shouguang.

Although Wan Shouguang looked haggard, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He whispered, "Our son, he might be able to be resurrected."

"Resurrected?" Liu Jialan exclaimed in shock, "How... how can he be resurrected? He's not an Exorcist, much less a four-star Exorcist. Without a strong Magnetic Physique, how can he possess a corpse to resurrect like they do?"

"Who said anything about Possessing a Corpse to Resurrect?" Wan Shouguang said, "Do you remember earlier this year when a stray dog came near our house? I chased it away, and the darn thing bit me on the hand."

"Yes, I remember," Liu Jialan nodded, looking at him with confusion, wondering why he suddenly brought that up.

Wan Shouguang's expression suddenly became secretive: "After it bit me, in a fit of rage, I killed that stray dog with the iron shovel from our doorstep. Do you remember that?"

"I do. I went with you to the clinic afterward, and you got your rabies vaccinations for a month," Liu Jialan recalled.

"Did you see the dog's body afterward?" Wan Shouguang asked.

Liu Jialan shook her head, "Didn't you drag it off to bury it after you killed it?"

"That's right, I buried it. But three days after that, I saw it again," Wan Shouguang said.

"What?" Liu Jialan looked at him in surprise, "The stray dog wasn't killed by you?"

"It was, I am certain of it," Wan Shouguang asserted, "But later, I also became certain that it was alive again."

"Alive again?" Liu Jialan's face was full of confusion.

"Yes, alive. When the dog bit me, I hit its head hard several times with the shovel, the brain matter was knocked out, there was no way it could still be alive," Wan Shouguang explained, "Afterward, didn't you see me dragging its dead body away? I buried it in the woods over there."

As he said that, Wan Shouguang pointed to a small grove outside the window, not so far from where their son Wan Cong's grave was located; the two places were less than three hundred meters apart in a straight line.

"That day, after the snow and the sun came out, I dragged that dead dog into the grove, found a large tree, and buried the dog beneath the tree roots. The body would decompose and turn into fertilizer for the tree eventually."

Wan Shouguang's expression became eerie at this moment: "However, on the morning of the third day afterward, when I went outside, I saw a dog standing across the courtyard. I thought another stray dog came and was about to chase it away. Upon closer inspection, it was the same dog I had just buried in the grove that day."

Liu Jialan was dumbfounded and confusedly said, "Could you have... mistaken it for another dog?"

"No, no," Wan Shouguang shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I am sure I was not mistaken. At that time, the stray dog was standing on the path opposite our house, with its skull cracked open, one ear drooping and sticking to its head with blood. Its upper and lower jaws were misaligned, its tongue dangling out, exactly like it was when I buried it."

He paused, then continued, "Maybe because the ground where I buried it was damp, when I saw it, its whole body was wet, the fur stuck together. It clearly had just crawled out of the earth, its body still caked with dirt."

"Then what happened?" asked Liu Jialan.

"You weren't at home that day," Wan Shouguang said, "I was thinking just like you, could it be that I hadn't hit it hard enough, that it didn't die? But the dog looked rather terrifying, as if it truly died and was now standing before me, staring at me. Its gaze was so cold, and when I saw this scene, I felt my hair stand on end."

"Then, unconsciously, I picked up the snow shovel that was leaning against the door, and I saw the stray dog approaching me, getting faster and faster, coming from the other side to in front of me, and then it began to run unsteadily. The misaligned jaws opened revealing pre-attack growling."

"When I realized something was off—mind you, the situation was too strange—when it ran towards me, the clotted blood from the previous day's head wound had frozen solid and was falling onto the snow, making a stark red contrast. Just as it was about to bite me, I smacked its head several times with the shovel again, but it had no effect."

"You have to understand, that shovel is incredibly sturdy, and I swung it with all my might. The day it bit me, it took just two hits to kill it, but now this creature had 'resurrected' and came back for revenge. When I couldn't subdue it this time, I flipped the shovel over to slash down at an angle, all the while backing away, I hacked viciously at the soft spot of its neck countless times until its head broke away, then it finally fell to the ground."

Liu Jialan listened intently, her expression becoming increasingly terrified.

She never knew Wan Shouguang had experienced such an ordeal, this was the first time she heard about it.

"Why have you never told me before?"

"I didn't want to worry you," Wan Shouguang replied, pursing his lips, "After that stray dog collapsed, it didn't move, so I went and found a sack from the basement, intending to pack both its head and body together and find somewhere else to bury it. Think about it, the creature was dead, yet on the third day, it 'resurrected' to seek revenge on me, so I planned on burying it further away. But when I took out the sack and was ready to pack the dead dog, I only found a tattered dog's head on the snow, and the headless body was nowhere to be seen! Turning around, I saw the headless body standing at the corner next to the gate, ready to pounce on me."
