I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 365 Ulterior Motives_2



"What's the matter, are you looking for someone?" Di Zhiwen noticed that Yan Junze seemed distracted, still staring at his phone, and asked.

Yan Junze nodded, "I happened to come over this time, planning to meet up with an acquaintance, but their phone has been switched off."

Di Zhiwen said, "No worries, we still have a week here, try calling a few more times. If that doesn't work, look for other ways to get in touch."

After returning to the hotel, Di Zhiwen went for a shower, while Yan Junze got through to Zhang Xiaomo on the phone, asking her to inquire with the teachers in Huaying District, to see if Wan Shouguang was still working on the tough project and how much longer it would take for him to be free.

Zhang Xiaomo quickly replied, bringing surprising news.

"What? Wan Shouguang's son was killed in a car accident?" Yan Junze exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, it happened the day before his project ended," said Zhang Xiaomo. "That's why Teacher Wan hasn't turned on his cell phone since coming out; he's probably in great grief and doesn't want to have any contact with the outside world."

"I see," Yan Junze nodded. "Send me his address, and if I get a chance, I'll go visit to offer my condolences."

By this time, Yan Junze knew that the likelihood of getting Wan Shouguang to help make the Black Spirit Umbrella was virtually zero.

The man didn't want to be in touch with the outside world, and if he himself went at this critical moment to ask for help, getting the door slammed in his face would be a certainty.

On the other hand, changing his identity and visiting to offer comfort and bring some gifts, without making any requests during this period, might actually leave a good impression on Wan Shouguang.

As for making the Black Spirit Umbrella, if it couldn't be achieved in the short term, he would have to make multiple trips to Huaying District in the future, persuading Wan Shouguang both softly and forcefully.

This guy was an authority in this field; he had to win him over. Otherwise, the Black Spirit Umbrella Yan Junze envisioned, if made by someone else, would certainly be much less effective, and whether it could exert even half of its power was questionable.

Thinking this, he called out to Di Zhiwen at the bathroom door and then went out to buy gifts.

...

Dusk fell.

The original plan was to send Wan Cong's body to the crematorium for cremation that evening and transport the ashes back the next day, followed by a search for a good spot for burial.

The land nearby all belonged to Wan Shouguang, so he had intended to be buried on this land.

There was a raised mound nearby, with a small stream on its side and backed by a dense grove. A feng shui master had once looked at it and said it was a precious site.

Wan Shouguang had planned to be buried here after his own death, but now his son had gone first. It was a cruel twist of fate, and the site was given over to his son.

Just now, the five-star Exorcist Yang Yimang had called Wan Shouguang to finalize the arrangements at the crematorium, and they had found another vehicle to transport Wan Cong's body, which was currently on its way back.

The burial site had already been dug, and the headstone had been delivered. Wan Shouguang had hired eight temporary workers. The burial ceremony, originally planned for the next day since the body hadn't been cremated and was drawing attention, had been hastily rescheduled for that night.

Those who came to attend the burial ceremony were the Wan Family's closest people, aside from a few direct relatives, there was only Yang Yimang, an outsider.

As for the temporary workers, they were all from out of town, and they didn't interfere in such matters. They were unaware that doing this violated the rules of Exorcists. They didn't even know who Wan Shouguang was, only that it wasn't necessary to cremate before burial in Huaying District.

Indeed, burying at dusk was somewhat strange, but Wan Shouguang's compensation was generous. With money on their minds, no one would quibble over it.

The work in front of the grave was ready, and before long, a black, stretched van came from a distance, turned off its lights after entering, but still drove up to the burial site before stopping.

Yang Yimang got out from the passenger seat, and Wan Shouguang immediately had the doors at the back of the van opened, a few men carefully lifting out the white coffin.

Wan Shouguang and his wife, Liu Jialan, overwhelmed with grief, leaned on the coffin and wept. After a moment of crying, relatives helped them up. They then opened the coffin lid to have one last look at their son before the coffin was put into the earth.

After sprinkling rice, pouring wine, and other rituals, Wan Shouguang, supported by others, staggered over, bent down, extended his hands, and sprinkled a handful of dirt over the coffin.

Yang Yimang also walked over, holding four diamond-shaped black objects in his hand, casually dropping these four black objects near the four corners of the coffin.

Then, standing next to Wan Shouguang, he said to the others, "It's time. Cover it up."

A curved mound was quickly built up, and after a minor construction, everyone packed up their things and dispersed with their pay.

In Huaying District, for a new grave, it wasn't appropriate to fully ornament it the first time but instead to make improvements over time, refining it bit by bit, gradually perfecting it.

At this moment, the Wan Family's relatives were also supporting Liu Jialan as they walked back towards the villa, leaving only Wan Shouguang and Yang Yimang standing there.

When everyone had gone, Yang Yimang spoke, "While there's a certain chance Congcong could become a strangeness, it's not a certainty. I'm going to seal the magnetic field of this grave now. With this, the chance of him turning into a strangeness is virtually zero. You don't have to worry."

"Thank you, Old Yang," Wan Shouguang said, his eyes empty as he stared fixedly at the grave.

Yang Yimang did not carry a magnetic knife on his person. As a five-star Exorcist, he no longer needed the aid of a magnetic knife. Like Guo Youliang, another five-star Exorcist, these individuals possessed the Ultimate Law.
