I can rewind time to prevent death

Yan Junze had never heard of such an organization, but by the looks of it, it appeared to have a similar nature to the Exorcism teams in Great Capital's Huaying.

However, it seemed that the "Half-Moon Exorcism Association" might be divided into several factions and possibly had more members, but it was not as organized and orderly as the Exorcist teams.

Because those called associations, although they had a common purpose, were mostly more scattered in terms of organization.

These organizations were not yet Yan Junze's concern; he quickly retracted his thoughts and asked, "So, what about Professor Kronro Putsinger's theory? Has it been proven?"

"Of course," Yang Yang nodded, "He conducted a great number of experiments himself and proved his hypothesis. His hypothesis is that certain environments or people, objects, etc., can generate magnetic fields that we can't detect, which affect the normal activity of the brain's temporal lobes, making people feel like there's something in the room."

"This means, the reason we can see or sense strangenesses is because their magnetic fields affect our brains, allowing us to perceive them," Yan Junze mused, "Then there's Fang Ning in my shadow, and I myself am a Semi-spirit; there could be an overlap of magnetic fields, which might have affected the supernatural entity in the dorm above, triggering its Obsession and creating a new strangeness event."

Seeing that Yan Junze was deep in thought and not speaking, Ma Dun and Yang Yang exchanged glances and did not interrupt his train of thought, but sat quietly by his side.

Not until Yan Junze lifted his head again, "Hmm, please continue."

Yang Yang nodded and said, "Professor Putsinger conducted many experiments for this. Among them, the 'Headless Cat,' the 'Decaying Infant,' and the 'Broken-Winged Angel' are three very famous experiments that even those outside our field would have heard about."

"I haven't heard of them," Yan Junze shook his head decisively.

Being an outsider who had not inherited the original person's memories, his understanding of the supernatural had also been built up bit by bit, so of course, he had not heard of these things.

"Let me talk about the Headless Cat experiment," Ma Dun cleared his throat and took over, "In that experiment, Professor Putsinger decapitated a cat that was about to die from illness. After throwing away the head, he immediately placed the cat's headless body within a specially prepared magnetic field environment."

"Yes, it was a sealed room. About thirty minutes after the headless cat corpse was stimulated by that magnetic field, it exuded a large amount of yellow-red body fluid, and then it stood up on its own, showing motions of playing with its previous owner, though its movements were stiff, it apparently still retained its memories."

"I think it's not about memories, but probably... Obsession?" Yan Junze blurted out.

Ma Dun nodded, "Later, when he was preparing to apply this experiment to dying humans, he joined the Half-Moon Exorcism Association, and the experiment was classified as top secret, so no information about subsequent experiments was ever released."

Yan Junze asked, "What about the 'Decaying Infant' experiment?"

"I'll tell it," Yang Yang appeared somewhat excited and spoke faster, "First, the infant was dead, and its body was already stiff, not just recently deceased like the Headless Cat. At the start of the experiment, Professor Putsinger intended to stimulate the dead infant to cause a miracle similar to that of the cat, that is, to turn into the living dead, um, or what you could call zombies.

But during the experiment, something unexpected happened."

"What change?" Yan Junze asked curiously.

"The dead infant indeed became a walking corpse like the cat, but at the same time, the infant's innate strangeness was also stimulated," Yang Yang's eyes sparkled, "That is, there were two strangenesses; one was the infant's corpse becoming what we in Great Capital call a zombie, and the other was the strangeness formed by the soul of the dead baby that floated out from the body."

Yan Junze widened his eyes, "So... did this walking corpse still exhibit the Obsessions it had in life?"

"No, not at all," Ma Dun said, shaking his head from the side.

Yang Yang immediately added, "Not only did it lack Obsession, but after Professor Putsinger stimulated the already dead nerves of the corpse with electromagnetic flow, the dead infant was able to follow some of his commands and even developed its own instincts, like eating raw meat and drinking blood."

"And the strangeness that floated out of the body continued to exist in the way we traditionally view souls, retaining the Obsessions of the dead infant and remembering many things from its life," Ma Dun said.

Yan Junze nodded, "So, after turning into two strangenesses, the dead baby became a zombie on one side and the soul, leaving the body, turned into what we consider a traditional strangeness. The zombie is a walking corpse, while the strangeness that left the body retains its obsession."

"Right."

Yan Junze thought of the child who ambushed him outside Mountain Park. This little fellow's signs were no different from those of a zombie, and according to Yang Yang, Professor Putsinger could also issue certain commands to those infants who died in the experiments, which they were able to complete.

Does this mean that the Spirit Cultivator who intended to harm him knew how to turn normal people into zombies?

Then, the Spirit Cultivator had sent this child to ambush him, but what was the purpose?

Was it a coincidence that the child was there, or had the child been waiting for him all along?

Now, it seemed more likely that someone had purposefully waited for him outside Mountain Park, because the last time he did a Rewind, Yan Junze chose to hide inside a warehouse and not show himself. Yet, the child decided to crawl out and search for him in the warehouse, which made it pretty obvious.

Who knew that he was going to Mountain Park at that time?

Yan Junze thought about this. Zhou Dali couldn't have known, and Bao Jie was even less likely. Then his gaze paused for a moment.

Could it be Tang Zhengyi? Or that guy who called him that day, what was his name, Cheng something Ting?

But the host with the surname Cheng did not have enough reason to harm Yan Junze. Could it be simply because he didn't accept his invitation to join his Spirit Exploration Team?

For a moment, his thoughts wandered too far. Yan Junze pulled back his thoughts and looked at Ma Dun and Yang Yang, "So what about the last experiment, 'Broken-Winged Angel'?"

"Speaking of this experiment," Yang Yang shivered involuntarily, his expression suddenly became very mysterious, and he lowered his voice, "The subject of the Broken-Winged Angel experiment was not an inanimate object, but a living person."

"A living person?" Yan Junze was surprised.

"Yes," Yang Yang nodded, "But I don't know much about it, let Ma Dun speak, he has studied it in detail."

Yan Junze looked at Ma Dun. Ma Dun paused for a moment before saying, "The so-called Broken-Winged Angel is a man who has one arm, the other having been completely severed from the shoulder in a car accident. After testing by Professor Putsinger, the man's brain waves were found to be extremely developed, with values different from normal people, and also very active."

"To achieve the purpose of the experiment, Professor Putsinger directly took the amputee into the sealed room that activated the Headless Cat, used power more than seven times higher than usual, and subjected him to magnetic field stimulation, to maximally evoke his potential, even more intense brain waves. Guess what happened in the end?"

Yan Junze shook his head.

Yang Yang, also curious, said, "Come on, tell us, what happened?"

Ma Dun deliberately paused for a few seconds, then said, "After leaving the laboratory, this guy actually grew a new arm in seven days, uh, though it was deformed."

"Why did that happen?" Yan Junze asked, frowning.

"I don't know," Ma Dun shook his head, "But later I found a theory in other books, called 'Spirit'."
