I can rewind time to prevent death

Yan Junze gave these instructions to the Back-faced Woman after deep consideration, first and foremost, he needed to inform his parallel self from the same timeline of the danger the mother and daughter were facing. This was vital to create the conditions for his return.

Furthermore, not allowing his other self to see him was to prevent causing mental shock and confusion, which might lead to unplanned and unprepared actions.

Since his return, the entire timeline had been altered, and once he returned for good, as long as the "Butterfly Effect Stabilization" did its job, even with the changed timeline, everything would wrap up smoothly with minimal impact.

Yan Junze had no doubt about this.

A few moments after he finished speaking, as Yan Junze was about to climb the stairs, he felt the Back-faced Woman pause behind him. He turned around to see her slowing down, seemingly distracted.

This was clearly the response of his self in the same space-time, specifically the Yan Junze who had encountered Ku Zai in the cold storage that day, just as he activated his Semi-Spirit Body.

Although the Back-faced Woman sensed something, she still followed Yan Junze's instructions and did not immediately share her vision with the Yan Junze in the cold storage, keeping the latter oblivious to the current situation.

"You can take a look at those in the brown uniforms, so the scene is received by the other me," Yan Junze whispered.

The Back-faced Woman moved closer to the corridor, glanced down, and then retracted her gaze.

One man and two strangenesses didn't go downstairs but climbed the stairs towards the rooftop.

They quickly reached the rooftop; the building was only five stories high, and the rooftop door wasn't locked, so it opened with a push.

Yan Junze, holding Ke'er, followed closely by the Back-faced Woman.

Next to the hospital building, the closest structure was more than thirty meters away, an impossible distance for ordinary people to cross from here.

However, it was fortunate that neither the Back-faced Woman nor Ke'er were human.

"Ke'er, quickly go and hug your mother!" Yan Junze pointed to the opposing building, "Directly fly across to the rooftop over there, then flee. Don't linger here anymore, the farther you escape, the better. Head to Tianmeng District in Shuntian City, that's near our FH Community, and we'll meet up there."

From this position, one could see the abandoned sign atop the shorter building on the other side which read "Zhen City Seventh District Department Store."

This confirmed that the location of Ke'er and her mother was indeed in Luoxia District, the outermost city of Great Capital in Huaying.

But by the time they were captured and annihilated by fire, they probably wouldn't be in Zhen City anymore.

Ke'er clambered reluctantly onto her mother's back, looking at Yan Junze, while the Back-faced Woman also reached out her hand, her voice hoarse, "Yan..."

"Go! Don't worry about me, they can't catch me," Yan Junze urged.

As long as the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er were saved, and the Great Rewind mission accomplished, he could leave immediately notwithstanding the strength of the mysterious people — they would have no chance of capturing him.

The Back-faced Woman, carrying Ke'er, leapt off, and while still in the air, their bodies became light and floated like a breeze towards the opposing rooftop.

However, at that very moment, from some window of the hospital building below, a light, snapping sound emitted.

A burst of invisible, transparent light shot out rapidly, intercepting the mother and daughter as they drifted towards the opposite rooftop, engulfing them completely mid-air.

Visibly, the moment the transparent light trapped its targets, it immediately compressed inward, rendering the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er completely immobilized.

Upon being ensnared, the Back-faced Woman instinctively raised her messy long hair on end, spreading it out as if to pierce through the gaseous sphere,

but each hair strand was solidified by the compression within the gas, motionless, suspended in the air.

"Catch it!"

A voice in American English emanated simultaneously from the lower floors.

Yan Junze jolted, a thought arising.

The people in brown uniforms inside the building weren't from Great Capital of Huaying, but rather from USA.

No wonder they all wore masks, revealing only their eyes.

Clearly his plan had failed; they couldn't escape across the rooftop because in mid-air, the mother and daughter were too conspicuous a target.

Time rewind.

One man and two strangenesses stood on the rooftop.

Yan Junze looked at the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er, frowning deeply.

He believed that if those people could track them here, even if the mother and daughter used their abilities to hide, they would still be discovered by them.

It was certain that the rooftop path was not an option anymore.

Yan Junze quickly walked to the other side of the rooftop and peered down.

"This way, climb down directly along the wall, avoiding the windows," he said.

He added one more thing, "Remember, don't float."
