I can rewind time to prevent death

At this moment, night had fallen, and in accordance with Squad C11's regulations, all residents of Yan Family Gully had locked their doors and shut their windows, with no one daring to appear on the streets.

Yan Family Gully had been under curfew for a week straight.

Kuang Haibo lay prone behind a deserted mud wall, peering through a hole in the wall to observe the deserted courtyard.

Considering the recent movements of the creature known as "Blood Sha," there was a high chance that it would show up here.

Blood Sha was a temporary name the exorcism team had given this strangeness because it was extremely fond of blood. Rumor said, when it was alive as a serial killer, it would cut the victims' arteries and drink their blood in gulps, a frightful conduct.

Now turned into a strangeness, it was still obsessed with blood; however, it could no longer consume it directly, so it would cause the victims' whole body of blood to dry up and become viscous or even powdery.

By Kuang Haibo's side lay a team member known as Fire Wolf, and hidden above another mud wall about twenty meters to their side were a Baldy and a female team member.

Fire Wolf was just a code name. This guy was a young man, merely a two-star Exorcist, always following Kuang Haibo, making it convenient for Kuang Haibo to look after the lad.

The other Baldy and the female team member were both three-star Exorcists.

This abandoned mud courtyard was where the Blood Sha had been killed by a security officer in its past life, and now, every three days, the creature was bound to appear here.

But the figure of Blood Sha was very secretive, almost intangible in the dark night, which was why it was vital to pay close attention to every detail and movement.

Kuang Haibo had also received notice from the main team that someone would be sent temporarily to assist them. He didn't know who the person was, only that they were introduced by a veteran from the team named Zhang Chengjing.

Just this fact made Kuang Haibo feel somewhat disgruntled, as such help suggested that his team's abilities were limited and required reinforcements from the main team.

If not for the upper hierarchy's strong orders, he would probably have refused, since this was his first mission as a team leader.

Soon, it was 9:30 PM, and all around was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. During summer, one could hear various chirpings at this time, but it was still a while before spring, and the surrounding quietness was terrifying.

The Baldy and the female team member lying on the mud wall felt half of their bodies go numb due to the confined space.

The female team member said to her Baldy companion, "I'll keep watch here; you go down and move around a bit."

The Baldy shook his head slightly, "I can bear it a bit longer, you go first."

After a moment's hesitation, the female team member slowly slid down to the foot of the mud wall. Halfway down, her gaze suddenly locked onto the wall on this side—a mass, as though soaked in blood, was creeping up the wall and was now about to touch Baldy's feet.

If she hadn't slid down from the mud wall, she would not have noticed this sight at all.

"Don't move!"

The female team member shouted sharply, her magnetic knife springing forth into her hand, and with a firm grip on the handle, she plunged it directly into the mud wall, piercing the blood-soaked patch on the wall.

Bang!

A mass of liquid erupted from the pierced hole in the wall and splashed onto the other side of the mud wall.

The female team member got some of it on her hand, too. The liquid was unmistakably blood, and it immediately began to spread along her arm's skin, forming a mark as big as a birthmark in just a second or two.

Baldy jumped down from the wall, brandishing his magnetic knife, and struck a flowing chunk of blood. However, he knew they had to clear all of this stuff; otherwise, even the slightest contamination on another living being would allow the Blood Sha to escape.

Moreover, a Blood Sha that had infested a living being would clearly see a temporary increase in strength, allowing it to hide again in the form of bloodstains after killing its host.

Kuang Haibo had already rushed over, and with a leap, he stood by Baldy's side, swinging his magnetic knife to wipe away the remaining crimson bloodstains with swift and clean movements.

He then turned to look at the female team member, "Use the magnetic field to bring it out."

The female team member had already been attempting to remove the bloodstain, but it was extremely stubborn, clinging to her skin as if it had seeped into it.

Kuang Haibo's magnetic knife glowed brightly as he slapped it on the back of the female team member's hand, causing the bloodstain to tremble and immediately fall off.

It suddenly slid into the corner of the wall, into the bushes, and at that moment, a pitch-black little animal rolled out of the brush, its limbs flailing as if it was desperately trying to shake something off.

However, within just a second or two, the creature righted itself, its fur puffing up, with even its tail standing straight, letting out a series of squeaks as it quickly dashed away.

"There's a mouse in the bushes! This guy is trying to escape again!" Kuang Haibo shouted.

The mouse was fleeing in the direction of the two-star Exorcist Fire Wolf. Seeing this, Kuang Haibo exclaimed in shock, "Fire Wolf, move away, don't get close to it!"

Fire Wolf had already started to back away, but he found that the direction he was backing into was exactly where the mouse was charging. Whether intentionally or not, the distance between them rapidly closed.

Fire Wolf had no time to retreat further, his Hidden Buckle shooting out thrice in a row with loud bangs.

The shockwave created an air current in front of him, rolling up dust around the earthen wall to a height of more than one person, and also swept up the mouse that was charging towards him.

The next second, just when everyone thought that the mouse had been carried away by the shockwave, whoosh, the rolled-up dust suddenly burst open, and a limb-torn, blood-stained mouse flew out, smacking right onto the unguarded face of Fire Wolf.

Blood and fragments of flesh smeared all over Fire Wolf's face.

"Not good!"

The three people, including Kuang Haibo, were suddenly jolted to see Fire Wolf's entire body shudder. Blood immediately soaked his face, dripping down his cheeks, seeping into his collar, and spreading downwards.

Fire Wolf turned and ran, his limbs stiff and movements odd.

For all these days, team C11 hadn't been able to kill the Blood Sha because of this reason—whenever there were people around, it would immediately use blood to attach itself and flee.

Because the person could still be saved, they had been hesitant to strike decisively, and Kuang Haibo couldn't bring himself to deliver a fatal blow.

In the darkness outside the courtyard, a man, his head covered in blood, was seen fleeing rapidly and crazily, with three Exorcists chasing after him.

And at that moment, directly in front of the fleeing Fire Wolf, a figure suddenly appeared, slowly walking under the cover of night, holding something in his hand.

Kuang Haibo was startled, turning to look at the female team member beside him. She shifted her gaze from the Spirit Detector in her hands back to Kuang Haibo, "It's a person."

"Curfew, go home quickly!" Baldy shouted immediately.

Upon seeing someone appear, the Blood Sha possessing Fire Wolf also got excited. The more people there were, the faster it could escape. Plus, attaching to this person's body for just a while wouldn't allow it to fully thicken the victim's blood.

Fire Wolf charged towards the person.

The person approaching did so at an unhurried pace, suddenly propping up an item in his hand—turning out to be an umbrella held overhead. When Fire Wolf got close, he simply stopped.

The Blood Sha was even more excited now, controlling Fire Wolf's body to leap forward.

But as soon as Fire Wolf's body just touched the range covered by the black umbrella, the Blood Sha felt an immense pressure descending. Fire Wolf's body was rebounded outwards, while the patch of blood that was the Blood Sha was whisked into the umbrella with a swoosh.

The entire underside of the Black Spirit Umbrella was suddenly filled with a deep crimson, a woman's silhouette, a roar of anger, and a flash of black light seemed to appear all at once within the umbrella.

Within a second of the Blood Sha being pulled into the umbrella, the previously blazing angry presence vanished in an instant.

The Black Spirit Umbrella was then folded up, revealing a young man, who smiled at the approaching Kuang Haibo and the other two, "Hello everyone, I'm Yan Junze, Zhang Chengjing sent me here."
