I can rewind time to prevent death

As these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yan Junze turned his head and saw that everyone was puzzled, clearly, no one recognized the Water Ghost.

"Do you recognize her?" Zhang Ying asked Liao Jing.

Liao Jing shook her head.

"Perhaps too much time has passed, and the memory of her appearance might differ. Think carefully whether you have seen this woman or not."

Yan Junze pointed ahead, casting his gaze in that direction and then he froze for a moment because the long-dressed woman who had been standing there was now gone without a trace.

The water stains on the ground had also disappeared, as if the woman had never appeared.

"Gone?" Mao Jin'an said, "Could it be that she left after we discovered her?"

"It's possible," Li Bin nodded.

In any case, he was scared. This was hardly the third tale, it was outright a horror strangeness live broadcast, for God's sake!

Now, not only did they want Yan Junze to join the Strange Club, but if Li Bin had his way, they would even appoint him as president, as long as Ma Dun agreed.

"Is she... gone?" Ma Dun leaned on Yan Junze's shoulder, staring intently ahead.

Just a moment ago, he had turned to glance at his friends nearby, and when he looked back, the woman had vanished.

Everyone eagerly looked to Yan Junze, hoping he could give a definite answer.

Regardless of the future, for now, no one wished to stay here any longer.

Yan Junze shook his head and quickly shattered their hopes: "She hasn't left; you've been stepped in between. You can't see her now because she's with you again."

"Damn it!" Xu Yongqiang jumped up as if electrocuted, exclaiming, "Yan Junze, you can't scare people like that! Where is she, where is that woman?!"

As he spoke, the others too jumped with fright, scattering in all directions with faces filled with terror, looking left and right, not daring to group together anymore.

At that moment, apart from Yan Junze, even Zhang Ying and Liao Jing felt a chill in their hearts, thinking about the soaking wet woman who had been following them, having goosebumps sprouting all over.

The two girls involuntarily grabbed each other's hands and stood together.

"Yan Junze, you must think of something fast," Zhang Ying couldn't help saying again.

She knew how to read the room; at this moment, even if they left separately, the female strangeness might still follow them, so nothing felt safe. They only had Yan Junze to rely on for a solution.

Yan Junze, looking at several pairs of eyes scattered around, not daring to stand together anymore, pondered for a moment before speaking: "As I just said, the only way to get her to leave is to fulfill her Obsession. But since none of you recognize her, we have a problem."

"Is there any other way?" Yang Yang asked.

"There is, but you must cooperate with me, otherwise this strangeness will continue to haunt you," Yan Junze nodded.

"You just tell us, we'll do it," Ma Dun said.

"Yeah, we'll all cooperate," Xu Yongqiang added.

Yan Junze's gaze moved over to Xia Kai, Mao Jin'an, Jin Wei, and Li Bin—people who hadn't spoken yet.

Although they didn't express it clearly, their eyes appeared desperate, sharing the same thoughts as Ma Dun and the others, all willing to cooperate.

"Good," Yan Junze smiled and explained, "Since none of you knows, or someone does but doesn't want to admit that they recognize this strangeness, I'll have to use the process of elimination."

After these words, he looked at everyone and instructed, "Now, please split into two groups of nine people, form two circles, and stand holding hands together, without letting go."

After finishing these words, Yan Junze stood up to close all the curtains in the activity room and then went to stand by the light switch at the door, placing his hand on the switch: "After you've joined hands and formed a circle, I will turn off the lights, plunging the entire activity room into darkness. Remember, no one can let go of hands, and don't use your phones for light."

"Should we... do we need to go to the lab and bring over the strangeness detector?" Xia Kai suddenly said.

Yan Junze looked at him in astonishment.

"Don't mind him," Ma Dun told Yan Junze, "Just now, everyone saw that female strangeness, no point in checking further, that thing is just something we came up with, it's not even sure if it's useful, and now that woman is definitely still among us."

"Oh hell, the curtains are drawn, the lights are out, this... this is a bit scary, man!" Li Bin couldn't help saying, "Can we... can we pull the curtains open a bit?"

"No," Yan Junze shook his head.

"Then if I get nervous later on, can I whistle?" Mao Jin'an asked.

"Can I talk after the lights go out?" Xu Yongqiang also said, "I like to hop and talk when I'm nervous, like this..."

As he spoke, he started hopping around.

"I mean..." Yan Junze frowned and looked at Ma Dun, "What's wrong with all these old members of your Strange Club?"

Ma Dun smiled awkwardly and then glanced at the others, "Quiet down, listen to Yan Junze now."

Yang Yang also shouted, "What's with all the fuss? In front of a new member, you guys have lost all face for the Strange Club."

"So this means... I'm in the club," Yan Junze smiled.

"Of course, of course," Ma Dun turned to the others, "I don't think anyone would object."

"No," Yan Junze shook his head, "Isn't the condition for joining the club to scare you all?"

"Enough," Zhang Ying suddenly spoke up, "I'm sweating all over my forehead right now, I've reached that point, I believe there's no one left who hasn't been scared."

"Alright," Yan Junze shrugged, "Everyone form a circle and hold hands, hold on to each other, no letting go. Then listen to my next instruction."

The nine people standing in the middle of the activity room moved all the chairs aside, forming two groups: one of five people and one of four people, each group forming a circle, then holding hands and looking at Yan Junze.

The group of five consisted of Ma Dun, Yang Yang, Zhang Ying, Liao Jing, and Xu Yongqiang, while the group of four included Xia Kai, Mao Jin'an, Jin Wei, and Li Bin.

"Damn, their group has two girls, and we don't have a single one," Li Bin muttered under his breath.

Liao Jing turned her head and glared at him. The guy immediately looked down, pretending not to see.

Snap!

Yan Junze turned off the light in the activity room.

Since the curtain blocked the light from outside, the entire activity room plunged into darkness the moment the lights were off.

The curtains of the activity room were thick and heavy, so they were excellent at blocking out light, and not a single ray could penetrate.

In the instant of complete darkness, as tensions had been kept up all along, someone couldn't help but let out a cry, but then they immediately shut their mouth.

In the darkness, a deathly silence ensued.

All the people holding hands, even their breathing became very light, as if afraid that any extra noise in the pitch-black space would draw the Water Ghost's attention to them.

About ten seconds later, Yan Junze's voice rang out.

"If you're interfered by strangeness, under no specific conditions or environment, it's fundamentally impossible to clear that interference. And just now, thanks to my reminder, you did discover the interfering strangeness and even saw her, but you can't get rid of her.

So I'm sorry to say, I misled everyone, if I'm not wrong, there's a pair among you holding hands, and one of those hands belongs to that female strangeness."

When Yan Junze's words rang out, the two groups holding hands in the darkness immediately exploded into chaos.

"Holy shit!"

"Screw you and your grandma's leg!"

Almost everyone was scared into making a noise, and at this moment, they had thrown the Strange Club's reputation completely out of the window.
