I can rewind time to prevent death

After Yan Junze and Di Zhiwen got settled, with nothing particular to do, Yan Junze opened the curtains of their room and admired the view outside. Being a luxury hotel, it was located in the center of the downtown area, offering a view of Huaying District's most beautiful urban buildings and the neatly planned streets.

Yan Junze couldn't help but think that if Xiang Er were here, she would definitely like this room because the cityscape visible from here was arguably the most beautiful she would have ever seen.

"Do you like this city?" Di Zhiwen, having finished packing his things and washing his face in the bathroom, came out with a towel, chuckling as he asked.

Yan Junze, looking out the window, shook his head, "Can't say I like it too much; I always feel there's an indescribable repulsion when it comes to this city."

"Maybe it's because you've never been here before, maybe it's a sense of unfamiliarity," Di Zhiwen guessed.

After returning the towel to the bathroom, he came out and suggested, "How about we take a walk around the streets, to overcome your unfamiliarity and repulsion?"

Yan Junze smiled and nodded.

They quickly left the hotel.

Choosing a direction, they walked aimlessly.

Although Tianmeng was known for its colder climate, Huaying District was comparatively warmer; the sunlight felt warm on their skin, which made Yan Junze squint involuntarily.

At that moment, he really wanted to release Ke'er and let her lay on his shoulder to enjoy the sunlight too.

Strangenesses usually prefer dark places, but they don't necessarily avoid sunlight; it's just that they're more easily exposed under the sun, unable to hide as perfectly as in the dark.

"Let's just wander around for a bit, and after dinner, we won't go out. I still need to prepare my speech for tomorrow night," Di Zhiwen said with a smile.

Yan Junze looked up at Di Zhiwen's sparsely haired head; a few tenacious strands stood firm against the breeze. He smiled and said, "Professor, don't overwork your brain. Make sure you get some rest these next few days."

They chatted as they walked along the street.

Soon, Yan Junze took out his mobile phone and gave a call to Wan Shouguang, the master of magnetic knife production at the headquarters, but the phone was still turned off.

This indicated that Master Wan was still immersed in a critical project and hadn't emerged.

Pocketing his phone, Di Zhiwen pointed to the left side of the street and said, "There is a bookstore over there, let's go take a look."

For someone like him, seeing a bookstore excited him more than seeing a restaurant. He would rather eat less for a meal than miss a chance to browse a bookstore.

Just as they reached the entrance of the bookstore, two men walked towards them side by side. One of them wore a dark suit while the other was clad in a jacket with a trench coat over it.

The two men walked straight up to Yan Junze and Di Zhiwen without any intention of stepping aside, with the man in the trench coat saying, "Good day! I'm a security officer from the Security Bureau, responsible for the daily security of this block. This is my partner, a two-star Exorcist."

The man in the suit spoke up, "You folks from out of town?"

Di Zhiwen, caught off guard, looked at Yan Junze and after exchanging glances, they both guessed the intention of the newcomers.

"Yes, we just arrived in Huaying District today from Tianmeng District," Di Zhiwen nodded and took out his ID card from his wallet, handing it over.

"No need to give it to me, show it to him instead," the suited man waved his hand, not taking the ID card but instead pointing to the trench-coated man.

Clearly, this was a joint enforcement team from the Security Bureau and a team of Exorcists, tasked with the daily security management and precautionary duties of this street block.

Di Zhiwen quickly handed his ID card to the man in the trench coat.

The trench-coated man took a close look at it, then pulled out a simple networked scanner, scanned the ID card once, and then looked at the query display on the scanner screen.

Meanwhile, the suited man was examining his hand-held Spirit Detector, which was palm-sized, without sharp angles, and had a rounded design with exquisite workmanship.

Yan Junze didn't take out his ID card, as doing so would lead to a series of standard checks, handling his card to them. Di Zhiwen had previously mentioned it might even result in being asked to remove his coat for a search.

Therefore, what Yan Junze produced was his A-level Exorcist Travel Permit and handed it directly to the suited man, who was also an Exorcist.

The suited man was busy checking the data on the Spirit Detector and did not look up, nor did he notice what the card was. He frowned and said, "We just said, the ID card should be shown to him."

"This isn't an ID card," Yan Junze said.

It was then that the suited man turned his attention to what was in Yan Junze's hands. He looked slightly surprised, took the Travel Permit, checked both sides, and recognized that it was genuine as no one would forge such a thing, since ordinary people wouldn't even know it existed.

Besides, an Exorcist Travel Permit possessed very subtle magnetic field fluctuations detectable by any Exorcist simply by holding it in their hands – something impossible to fake by a regular person.

Of course, the authenticity of the Travel Permit could also be verified by the Security Officer's scanner since all certified Exorcists were registered with the Security Bureau.

If the suited man still doubted it, Yan Junze could have confirmed his identity with the copper badge he carried with him.

After a careful examination, the suited man did not pass the Travel Permit to the security officer for validation. Instead, he returned it to Yan Junze, confident in his assessment of the card's magnetic field vibrations, without the need for further verification.

"Sorry about that, it turns out you're a colleague," the suited man managed a smile.

He then gestured to his trench-coated partner to return the ID card to Di Zhiwen.
