I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 622 - 391 Open Your Eyes (Part 7)

Chapter 622: Chapter 391: Open Your Eyes (Part 7) Chapter 622: Chapter 391: Open Your Eyes (Part 7) Lu Xing’s complexion was ghastly, his eyebrows furrowed tightly as he hid beneath a server cabinet, his back pressed firmly against the right side of it.

When the flashlight beam landed on him, he hurriedly raised his hand to shield his eyes, unable to see clearly who was holding the flashlight, until Lin Guo’s voice came through.

Lu Xing, looking surprised, asked, “Uncle Lin?”

“Yes, it’s me. Why are you hiding here?” Lin Guo reached out, pulling Lu Xing up, and examined him with the flashlight up and down. He found no injuries on him.

“Where’s Yao Zhongyong?”

Lu Xing shook his head, “Earlier, Big Brother Yao told all four of us to evacuate this room. The other three ran off, but something tripped me, and I hit my head on the corner of the cabinet, knocking me out cold. When I woke up, it was pitch black, all my stuff was gone, and I couldn’t find the exit. Moreover, it seems like… there are others here.”

“Who?” Lin Guo asked, while simultaneously switching off his flashlight.

The room plunged into complete darkness once again.

Considering Lu Xing mentioned that there were others in the room, Lin Guo didn’t think it was only Yao Zhongyong. After all, if it had been him, he would have seen Lin Guo as soon as he entered with the flashlight.

If it was someone, it had to be other strangenesses.

“I don’t know who it is, I just heard movements, but I’ve never seen anyone.” As the surroundings fell into darkness, Lu Xing’s voice also dropped deliberately.

After waiting for a moment, hearing no other sounds, Lin Guo whispered, “Stay here and don’t move. I’m going to look for Yao Zhongyong.”

He got up and began groping his way forward.

After a while, Lin Guo realized this method of searching was utterly unfeasible because he couldn’t see anything after turning off the flashlight, fearing detection by something moving in the darkness.

In other words, Yao Zhongyong could be lying right in front of him, and he still wouldn’t be able to see him.

Just then, an unusual sensation came from behind him, as if someone was right there, not far away, emanating a chilling breath.

He instantly turned around, the magnetic knife held across his chest.

The queer sense of wrongness vanished as if there had never been anyone behind him.

After waiting a bit longer, that disturbing feeling did not return.

Lin Guo turned back around and proceeded, his vigilance reaching its peak, with the magnetic knife ready to strike at any moment.

Passing through a row of cabinets, he felt he had reached the end of the room. He felt around and found another door there.

Lin Guo reached out for the doorknob and just as he was about to turn it, that familiar, chilling sensation descended upon him again, right behind him.

This time Lin Guo spun around without hesitation, the magnetic knife’s rotation outpacing his own movement, the magnetic glow activated and swept behind him first.

The emergence of the magnetic glow brought a trace of light in the otherwise pitch-black space, dim though it was, but still vaguely illuminating the immediate area.

Under the light of the magnetic glow, Lin Guo saw a blurred face, then the tip of the glow sliced through that face.

He immediately turned on his flashlight, and with the bright light, he saw Lu Xing covering his face, rapidly retreating with an odd gait, his feet moving forward in a reversed manner, and his right arm, which was on the ground, moved backwards with a hyperextended joint.

Most importantly, as this man covered the wound on his cheek with his left hand, a wisp of black mist was seeping out between his fingers.

“Ah!”

Upon seeing this, Lin Guo instantly understood.

The magnetic knife’s glow surged, and he lunged forward. With a swift motion, aided only by the extended glow of the knife, he sliced swiftly down from the top of the retreating Lu Xing’s forehead, nearly reaching the rib area of his chest.

A large amount of black mist poured out, and Lu Xing fell backward onto the ground, vanishing without a trace in no time.

Lin Guo breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly chiding himself for not realizing at close quarters that the man was one of the strangenesses—a feat not possible for ordinary strangenesses.

The Possession Spirits that had recently appeared could no longer be judged by common sense, be it in terms of spreading, mimicking, or duplicating.

After the black mist that Lu Xing had turned into disappeared, Lin Guo used his flashlight to survey the surroundings again, seeing no other anomalies.

He moved to the cabinets, opened all of them, and used the magnetic knife to sever all the wiring inside without exception, ensuring true destruction.

As he cut the wires, he remained vigilant to his surroundings, yet he heard none of the strange footsteps that the transformed Lu Xing had spoken of.

Perhaps, those were just distractions intended to throw him off.

After he finished, instead of footsteps, he heard a “clack clack clack” sound not far behind him, as if ropes were being tightened further, producing the sound of something being squeezed to its limit.

Lin Guo immediately turned his head, shining his flashlight in that direction, but saw no one and no shadows. However, when he lifted the beam upward, he noticed a large cluster of black shadows on the wall near the ceiling.

One could surmise that the powerful strangenesses forming this black shadow numbered at least three.

In the middle of these black shadows, a black humanoid figure protruded, seemingly wrapped within the shadows, which were still tightening incessantly around it.
