I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 686 - 413 Huh Aunt Mei_3

Chapter 686: Chapter 413: Huh, Aunt Mei?_3 Chapter 686: Chapter 413: Huh, Aunt Mei?_3 Yan Junze waited for about five minutes, and when there were no more sounds coming from the basement level, he slowly exhaled, took a small flashlight out of his backpack, turned it on, and illuminated the unfamiliar room that belonged to Melissa.

The air in the room was terrible, with the smell of mold everywhere, and the walls and surrounding furniture were covered with fungi.

And unexpectedly, there was a large puddle of water in the corner of the room near the boiler room.

Under the flashlight’s beam, a shadow could be seen lying in the puddle, and next to the shadow was another one of Alabell’s children, who was lying next to it and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The child closer to Yan Junze, seeing his sibling appearing to gain some advantage, was startled and scrambled over, joining the other by the shadow.

To Yan Junze, the shadow on the waterlogged floor seemed to be a corpse, but its body was swollen as if it had been filled with water, suggesting that the whole body was swollen.

“Melissa? The Melissa who got leech disease?” Yan Junze muttered to himself.

In his mind, he recalled the mission information: Melissa had always been a kind person, she was just afflicted by the Red-tailed Tiger Striped Leech and needed rescuing.

Now it seemed that Melissa might not be a malevolent strangeness after all, rather, her death seemed extremely unfortunate.

The scene of Alabell’s two little brats lying next to the corpse, for some unknown reason, triggered an empathetic response in Yan Junze.

The scene looked so damn familiar; it was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The two children gradually began to get excited, their arms waving lightly, picking up speed.

Yan Junze noticed that these two were apparently prying something off the body and swiftly popping it into their mouths, savoring it.

The things they were picking off seemed to be bugs?!

“Melissa? The two kids? Eating bugs… off her body?”

The current spectacle superimposed another image from Yan Junze’s memory, and he murmured to himself, “Melissa? Aunt Mei? Aunt Mei? Melissa?”

He quickly advanced and the children were frightened, immediately trying to dodge aside, but unable to resist the temptation of the bugs on the corpse, they snatched a couple more from some distance away and stealthily stuffed them into their mouths.

Yan Junze could now see clearly that these bugs looked nothing like leeches, which would have been long dead; thus, these creatures were most likely the leeches after death, the leech-stricken forms.

So many strangeness-beating leeches were crawling all over Melissa’s corpse, preventing it from decaying and instead making it increasingly swollen.

Her entire body was grotesquely inflated, yet her limbs were pathetically small. This incongruity further revealed to Yan Junze the true identity of Melissa.

Now, with so many bugs on her, Yan Junze knew the dangers of these creatures, their shells were extremely hard. Last time, in the underground parking garage of the FH Community, he accidentally stepped on one, which hurt his foot badly.

He dared not get too close, just leaned over Melissa’s face and shone the flashlight down. Despite being prepared, his heart still began to pound violently.

This Melissa was not only sporting a Huaying face, but she was actually Aunt Mei herself! Yes, the Aunt Mei from the FH Community’s underground garage.

For a moment, Yan Junze felt a sense of disorientation in his memories and the fabric of space-time.

Recalling the mission information, Melissa had smuggled herself to Great Capital of the USA when she was very young. That is to say, she might have been Huaying originally but ended up working as a maid for Alabell’s grandfather due to her smuggling status, which gave her an identity in the Great Capital.

“So that’s how it is!” Yan Junze’s thought process began to clear up.

The Aunt Mei here hadn’t met the later version of himself, and he deduced that Ruisen Island, where he had traveled back to, must be at least half a year, if not more, prior to his original timeline.

Back then, he might not have even taken over this body yet, that is, he hadn’t arrived in this world.

As for why there was another story of an Aunt Mei picking up garbage and taking care of two babies in the FH Community, there might indeed have been a garbage-picking Aunt Mei there, but after her death, she was replaced by the Aunt Mei from this place.

“But why would Aunt Mei from here go to FH Community?”

Yan Junze quickly came to an answer, but considering his dire situation, he decided it would be better to figure out how to escape his current predicament first.

Now everything made sense.

Yan Junze’s gaze returned to Melissa, who lay motionless with bugs crawling all over her face.

His gaze returned once more to Melissa, lying still with bugs traversing her visage.

Now the two children who would later follow her had already appeared, and they were helping to eat the bugs off her, so why was Aunt Mei completely unresponsive? She was truly playing the role of a dead body flawlessly.

Yan Junze stared puzzled at Aunt Mei, whose eyes were tightly shut.

Not only was Aunt Mei not showing any signs of life, but the two little brats who had just eaten some of the black bugs now seemed listless, curled up to the side, unable even to lift their heads.

“What’s going on?”
