I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 371: Resurrection (Part 5)



"Is it really strangeness?" Yan Junze couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and doubt after he had clearly seen the mission information.

Looking at the situation now, not only had a strangeness appeared in the Wan Family's villa, but it seemed that Wan Shouguang and his wife were also harboring and covering up for the strangeness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to conceal it from him before the Rewind.

However, for Yan Junze at this moment, he was somewhat bewildered after seeing this mission information.

Because if the Wan Family wanted to hide a strangeness and prevent it from being discovered, then the most likely scenario was that the strangeness was their own son, especially since their son had just recently died.

Even though the probability of a recently deceased person turning into a strangeness was very small, if it really happened, their son would be the only reason Wan Shouguang and his wife would have to hide and protect.

Otherwise, Yan Junze couldn't think of any other reason.

The mission information mentioned that the strangeness had been trapped in a region with a special magnetic field and was unable to get out, but only this time had it managed to leave.

If it was Wan Shouguang's son, Wan Cong, then this circumstance wouldn't exist. After all, if Wan Cong had turned into a strangeness, he would have just died recently and wouldn't have been trapped somewhere for a long time without being able to appear.

Moreover, the mission also revealed that this strangeness made acquaintances with other strangenesses while trapped, which was even less likely for Wan Cong.

So Yan Junze deduced that the strangeness was not Wan Cong, but he just couldn't understand why Wan Shouguang and his wife were hiding it.

With this in mind, Yan Junze turned his attention to the name of the mission.

"Resurrection?"

He muttered to himself, a vague idea beginning to emerge in his mind.

However, this idea couldn't fully form because he was still unclear about some key factors.

At this time, Wan Shouguang had already finished speaking, and there was already the click of a door lock from upstairs.

The couple were startled by the noise and quickly looked at Yan Junze, only to see him with his head down, lost in thought, as if he hadn't heard the sound.

Relieved, Wan Shouguang thought that Yan Junze had been frightened by his words and was about to speak to comfort him when he heard Yan Junze suddenly say, "Uncle Wan, Uncle Zhang mentioned that your child was buried nearby. Since I'm here, I'd like to pay my respects."

Wan Shouguang was stunned and looked at Liu Jialan.

Liu Jialan remained silent, waiting for her husband's response.

After a moment of silence, Wan Shouguang reluctantly nodded, "Alright."

This request was actually quite normal. To show respect to Wan Shouguang and his family, Yan Junze going to pay tribute to Wan Cong was something no one could refuse.

"I came in a hurry and didn't bring any offerings. I'll go out and prepare right away..." Yan Junze added.

"It's alright," Liu Jialan spoke up upon seeing her husband's agreement, "We have prepared fruits at home. We haven't replaced them for our son these past few days, and there are a lot of leftover paper money and incense candles. We can go together."

"That's fine, alright," Yan Junze nodded.

Half an hour later.

Yan Junze, Wan Shouguang, and Liu Jialan arrived at Wan Cong's grave.

Liu Jialan replaced the fruits on the grave with fresh ones and placed a bouquet of flowers picked from their own courtyard.

Yan Junze lit the candles with meticulous care, placing them properly in front of the grave before burning a stack of paper money.

As he stood up, he bowed respectfully towards Wan Cong's gravestone and whispered softly, "May you rest in peace."

Although he spoke softly, Wan Shouguang and Liu Jialan could still hear him, their noses tingling at the sight. Seeing that Yan Junze was only slightly older than their son made it even more heartbreaking.

During this process, Yan Junze carefully sensed for anomalies but did not find any unusual magnetic field disturbances.

If Wan Cong had turned into a strangeness, it would be impossible for there not to be any magnetic field disturbances, yet there was none here.

"The strangeness inside the house is not Wan Cong?" Yan Junze concluded.

Moreover, this strangeness was a bit odd, as his Atlas couldn't automatically sense and produce the mission; he had to turn on the Spirit Detector to do so.

This was also the reason why Wan Shouguang dared to let Yan Junze, an Exorcist, enter the house. It is known that Exorcists with three stars or more are more sensitive to strangeness, and sometimes they can sense anomalies even without a Spirit Detector.

But Wan Shouguang had already tested it, even with a Spirit Detector turned on, no anomalies of his son could be detected, so he was not a strangeness but a resurrected being in a special form.

After all, Wan Shouguang was no Exorcist; he hadn't encountered various strangenesses and considering his beloved son was involved, some judgmental errors were inevitable.

However, even so, Wan Shouguang was not unprepared, such as carrying Magnetic Knife Shrapnel with him at all times.

Yan Junze was not fully reassured. He walked around Wan Cong's grave once more, sensing again without discovering any anomalies, though outwardly he appeared to be just sighing and pacing around.

As they were about to go back, Yan Junze walked side by side with Wan Shouguang and suddenly asked, "Uncle Wan, have you noticed anything unusual at home during this period?"

Wan Shouguang's heart jumped in surprise as he looked at him and shook his head, "No, why do you ask?"

"Oh, just a sixth sense," Yan Junze smiled, "I've encountered many strangenesses before, and I've slowly come to a conclusion that some strangenesses are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"Oh?" Wan Shouguang was bewildered, "What's complicated about them?"

"For instance..." Yan Junze pondered for a moment and slowly said, "they excel at camouflage, are extremely covert, and sometimes even Exorcists can't distinguish them. Usually, the Obsession of these kinds of strangenesses is also good at hiding and doesn't easily reveal itself."
