I can rewind time to prevent death

Nobody knew that the place where the electrical switch was located actually concealed a Possession Spirit shrouded in dark energy, and there was more than one of them. By the looks of it, it was impossible to touch that switch.

The man designated as number 3, completely engulfed by the dark energy, let out violent screams and struggled incessantly, but the more he struggled, the tighter the dark energy wound around him, already having dissolved half of his body.

At this moment, the woman designated as number 4 had also been wrapped by the dark energy around most of her body; she immediately turned her body into a shadowy figure and quickly retreated two meters away.

But it was visible to the naked eye that even her shadow was stained with some of the dark energy. This dark energy formed a hand that firmly gripped her.

Upon restoring her physical form, the dark energy surged over her again, and number 4 turned into a shadow once more, retreating again.

The other Semi-Spirit Bodies also retreated one after another, seeing that number 4 could not shake off the Possession Spirit but also not daring to make contact.

After all, not everyone had a body capable of shifting between corporeal and incorporeal like number 4, and if they were touched by the dark energy, they feared the outcome would be the same as those five shadowy figures standing to the side.

The situation had become very unfavorable for their own side.

Rewind!

Time went back to the moment when everyone had just approached the five people enveloped by the dark energy.

"Don't touch it, the Possession Spirit is formed from this kind of dark energy," Gao Meng raised his hand to warn everyone.

At this time, the rotund man designated as number 1 staggered over, stretching out his thick fingers towards the switch above,

Before the others could speak, Yan Junze said, "Don't touch that switch yet, it seems a bit strange."

Then he pointed at the five people entangled by the dark energy, "They must have been trying to touch the switch, but in the process, they were attacked by a large amount of dark energy, which is the Possession Spirits. I reckon there are at least ten Possession Spirits attacking them, but for now it's just a stalemate; these team members seem to have not been completely eroded."

"I believe we should first turn off the switch, complete the mission and then think of a way to rescue them."

Gao Meng was not a rash person, belonging to those who are bold yet careful. Seeing that Yan Junze made some sense, he didn't immediately order actions based on his own thoughts, but instead spoke in a tone of discussion.

"See his hand?" Yan Junze pointed to the man closest to the switch below, who had his right hand raised, "This person might have touched the switch, the people behind are trying to rescue him, and then... everyone got trapped."

As he finished speaking, Yan Junze moved closer, the dark mist rose faintly, nearly reaching his body.

Seeing this, the others silently squeezed their palms, sweating nervously.

Then Yan Junze looked up and continued, "Each one of them has placed a hand on the shoulder of the person in front of them, which is not likely to be an impulsive act in a moment of urgency, but rather deliberate."

Following that, his gaze swept over each of the five people wrapped in the dark energy, finally resting on the second person behind the one with a raised arm.

He walked over, bent down to take a closer look, and then Yan Junze looked up and said, "This person... should be the four-star Exorcist, Master Lin Guo."

Gao Meng's eyes flashed with a hint of bloodthirst, and he walked over.

"Master Lin Guo should be able to hear me speaking now," Yan Junze said, "He wanted to stop us from touching that switch too, but the situation here has reached a deadlock, and he can't warn us."

"Are you saying that Master Lin Guo had these team members touch shoulders one by one to jointly stop the invasion of the Possession Spirit?" Gao Meng caught on.

Yan Junze nodded, "Because of the sudden incident, some team members were suddenly eroded, and there's definitely more than one. That's why Master Lin Guo came up with this last resort, to temporarily save these people's lives while waiting for rescue."

"What do we do now?" Gao Meng blurted out, feeling like the mantle of team leader had already shifted at this moment.

The others also looked towards Yan Junze.

Yan Junze was stroking his chin, not speaking for a moment.

He also couldn't find a better solution at the moment. After pondering, he looked up at the Exorcist standing near the switch below, with one hand raised.

While everyone else was touching the shoulder of the person in front of them, because he was dealing with the switch, only one hand was touching the shoulder of the person in front, while the other was raised, possibly unable to lower it by then.

Yan Junze walked over with the Black Spirit Umbrella in his left hand, thumb resting on the button to open the umbrella, and stretched his right hand toward the upraised palm.

The other Semi-Spirit Bodies were startled by this action, not understanding Yan Junze's intentions, but there was no doubt that doing so would be extremely dangerous.

However, in Yan Junze's opinion, although these five people had formed a closed loop, this place was the entry point as well as the exit, and perhaps only through here could the Possession Spirits be guided out.

Either that or it required overwhelming strangeness with a powerful magnetic field, such as letting Guo Youliang deal with it.

But obviously, they couldn't wait for Guo Youliang to come now.

Taking a deep breath, he prepared to open the Black Spirit Umbrella with his left hand at any moment, while his right hand slowly, very slowly, approached the raised palm of the other person.

Just before touching it, the dark energy of the Possession Spirit had already detected Yan Junze's hand; the dark energy rose and enveloped his fingers, and immediately spread towards him.

Because he hadn't made contact, although he felt a pulling force, Yan Junze's objective was achieved, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

The pulling force of the dark energy began to intensify, not letting him get away easily, and more dark energy surged along his arm.

"This is... a Possession Spirit," Yan Junze felt the number of Possession Spirits rushing towards him and guessed, but then he denied himself, "Two of them, two Possession Spirits. No, there are three."

The opposing side's Possession Spirits quickly amounted to three, but in between, the connection did not break, and instead, the tail of the dark energy was tightly wound around the source of the dark energy encircling the five people, not breaking off even as Yan Junze retreated.
