I can rewind time to prevent death

Although the female ghost couldn't speak, from the frequency and speed at which the foul water emerged from her mouth, it was clear that the last three words Jin Wei uttered had moved her.

Despite trembling and feeling terrified, Jin Wei was quick to shake his head and dodge when the stenchy water sprayed out.

Whoosh...

The foul water kept flowing from the mouth of the water ghost, as if it would never cease.

At the same time, Ling let go of the hand she was holding onto Jin Wei, and her entire body rose off the ground, away from the chair she had been sitting on, floating upwards as if she were under water.

Everyone, including Jin Wei, looked up and watched as Ling floated upwards, with water still dripping down her soaking wet dress.

Yan Junze guessed that at this moment, the weeds wrapped around the woman's corpse might have loosened, causing her body to slowly rise to the surface.

Moreover, the river where Ling had thrown herself in might be a Deadwater Pool, the depths maintaining a low temperature year-round, which prevented her corpse from decomposing significantly.

Regardless, as soon as her body surfaced, it would quickly be discovered by someone.

In this way, it could be considered the fulfillment of her wish.

[Kiss, Anxiety-Inducing (High), Completed, Reward 500 Different Dimension Energy points.]

Now that various quests had been completed, Yan Junze could approximate that the lowest-level "Anxiety-Inducing" quests corresponded to Different Dimension Energy rewards ranging from 100-500 points.

Tasks of the next higher level, "Trembling with Fear," rewarded between 500-1000 Different Dimension Energy points. The even higher-level "Hair-raising" tasks offered rewards between 1000-1500 points.

Of course, depending on the difficulty of the task and other conditional factors, the energy rewards obtained can vary, with each similar task selecting a number within a range of values.

As Ling floated upward, her figure began to fade slowly until finally, it vanished without a trace...

The others rushed over at this moment; some helped Liao Jing up, while others steadied Jin Wei. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

As Ling disappeared, Liao Jing had already begun to regain consciousness.

When she was fully awake, Yan Junze knew that the Spirit-Splitting within her had disappeared, and if there were others affected by Spirit-Splitting, they too would vanish at that moment.

"Alright," Yan Junze clapped his hands, walked over to the water dispenser, took a paper cup, poured himself a glass of water, and turned around to ask, "Does anyone want some water?"

Everybody immediately shook their heads like rattle drums.

Yan Junze drank the water in his cup in one gulp, casually threw the cup in the trash, sat back down, and announced to everyone, "Well, the third story... it's finished."

"Congratulations, Yan Junze. Welcome to the Strangeness Research Alliance Club affiliated with the student council of the academy," Ma Dun forced a smile, walked over, and extended his hand to Yan Junze.

Yan Junze didn't stand up but simply reached out to shake hands with him, pointed to a chair next to him for him to sit, and asked, "President, I just heard that the Strange Club is also researching some sort of Spirit Detector?"

Ma Dun nodded: "Yes, I've heard that exorcists have Spirit Detectors too, but ours definitely can't compare to theirs. What we have developed entirely with our physical knowledge is still full of flaws and imperfections."

"President, there are some questions I just want to understand a bit about, and you know much more than I do on this topic," Yan Junze said with a smile.

Ma Dun quickly waved his hand, "Don't call me President, just call me by my name. When it comes to understanding strangenesses, you'd be second to none here," he said.

At that moment, Yang Yang took a seat on the other side, while Zhang Ying, together with Xu Yongqiang, Xia Kai, Li Bin, and others, was helping Liao Jing prepare to leave.

"Liao Jing needs to rest, we're going to head out," Zhang Ying said.

"Go ahead, and be careful on the way," Ma Dun said with an apologetic face, "I'm really sorry about today, everyone."

"It's me who should be sorry," Jin Wei interjected from the side.

"Don't mention it," Xu Yongqiang laughed, "It hasn't been easy for you either, you've really opened our eyes."

Thinking back to the kiss from earlier, Jin Wei shivered for no apparent reason.

"Go on, get going, hurry back," Yang Yang said.

As Zhang Ying led Liao Jing away, she cast a deep glance at Yan Junze. Her new understanding of the young man before her was like a revelation.

Before long, only Ma Dun, Yang Yang, and Yan Junze were left in the activity room as the others gradually left.

Before departing, Jin Wei expressed his special thanks to Yan Junze, insisting on treating him to a meal the next afternoon. This was no casual offer—the name of the restaurant and the appointment at six o'clock sharp were all set.

Yan Junze did not decline.

Once there were only three people left in the activity room, Ma Dun and Yang Yang involuntarily looked around, feeling a hair-raising sensation.

"Let's continue with the earlier question," Yan Junze said, "I merely rely on some special abilities. You guys, as my seniors, have delved much deeper into the physics behind strangenesses than I have, and there's no doubt about that, so I genuinely want to learn from you."

"Sure, go ahead," Ma Dun nodded.

Yan Junze continued, "Based on your current research or from a physics perspective, what exactly is the strangenesses of this world?"

Ma Dun thought for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before saying, "In our living environment, each of us generates a tremendous amount of electromagnetic waves, creating countless electromagnetic fields.

For instance, those guys in biology believe that our spirit is produced by the neurons in our brain and is closely related to the activity of nerve cells, which I think is quite reasonable. However, we are studying in a different direction..."

"Oh, how is it different?" Yan Junze inquired.

"It's like this," Yang Yang took over, gesturing with his hands as he spoke, "The cells in our body are always pulsating, including our blood which carries electric ions, forming small magnetic fields to some extent. The emergence of strangenesses, we believe, is due to a kind of energy that seeks to return to its original state, a manifestation in the external world."

Yan Junze blinked, pondering seriously for a moment, then said, "I've only studied theories of time and space, and I want to know if there's a relationship between this special energy and space-time energy?"

"Of course, there is a connection," Ma Dun nodded, "Have you noticed? Strange Energy can freely pass through certain spatial materials, but we cannot. Clearly, they are not constrained by space, so I believe that some high-level, even very high-level strangenesses, which are those of strong origin, can break the constraints of time."

Yan Junze did not respond, lost in thought.

Yang Yang added, "Over in Great Capital, USA, there was a professor named Kronro Pusinger who proposed 'the relationship between strangenesses and the electromagnetic field.' Later, this professor was directly employed by the official Great Capital authorities and is said to have joined the largest Exorcism Organization in the USA – the Half-Moon Exorcism Association."
