I can rewind time to prevent death

Including Yan Junze, everyone had seen it clearly, the head that had flickered twice in front of the camera just now had, at first, been a face with no features at all, a dark expanse of nothingness.

As it looked toward the camera, that face had shuddered, and when it reappeared on camera, it was a familiar visage.

Although the screen was pitch black and the signal connection was lost at this moment, Yan Junze could still see that familiar face clearly because he had just seen it.

Slowly lowering his head, Yan Junze and Zhang Chengjing looked simultaneously toward the handsome young man sitting at the control desk, who was also turning around to look at the others, his lips twitching, his skin pale as death, his eyes vacant, and his expression one of terror.

Before the interruption, the last face that had appeared was identical to that of this young man.

It wasn't two people; they seemed as if they were cast from the same mold.

The young man at the control desk was at a loss, staring at the black screen, unaware of why his own image had appeared on a screen far away in Great Capital, USA.

"How can that person... look exactly like me?" stammered the young man.

No sooner had he spoken than his complexion began to turn black, just like in the video. This darkness spread like a living tide.

Seeing this, other staff members were frightened and left their seats, hastily retreating backward.

"Not good!"

Zhang Chengjing was startled but instead of retreating, he stepped forward, his right hand claw-like, pressing down on the top of the young man's head at the control desk.

At that moment, Yan Junze instantly felt the strong magnetic field between Zhang Chengjing's fingers, a force so powerful that it almost created visible ripples, holding the young man who was turning black firmly in place, rendering him immobile.

As the young man's facial color turned black, his body skin rapidly became pitch-black as well, and his body started to twitch slightly, as if he might erupt into violence at any moment.

But the magnetic field emitted by Zhang Chengjing had him firmly anchored in his seat, unable to move.

After writhing for more than ten seconds, the originally handsome young man had completely turned black, his body withered, and his head tilted back at a strange angle, as if his neck was broken, looking toward the other staff members behind him.

Right as his gaze moved but before he had laid eyes on anyone, Zhang Chengjing's left hand came down, unleashing the Ultimate Law he mastered.

The magnetic field beneath his palm completely warped, squeezing inwardly, causing the body of the young man who had turned black to suddenly tense up, preventing him from looking left or right.

The power of the Ultimate Law only intensified!

Visible to the naked eye, the body of the young man who had turned black was being pressed in disproportionally.

After a standstill of about four or five seconds, there was a loud bang, the young man's blackened body exploded, not splattering blood and flesh but releasing a vast amount of dark mist.

At the same moment, four or five high-ranking Exorcists appeared at the door, among them the deputy head of the Exorcist Brigade, Yu Changhai, had also arrived.

Yu Changhai was about fifty, with a burly stature. In the organization of Exorcists, he belonged to the same generation as Zhang Chengjing, both founding members of the organization, and considered veterans.

Behind Yu Changhai were three others, two of whom were four-star Exorcists, and one a five-star Exorcist, while Yu Changhai himself had strength comparable to Zhang Chengjing's.

With a furrowed brow, he walked into the spacious office and approached Zhang Chengjing.

Zhang Chengjing, although he had just killed the blackened young man, had not moved, and was still holding his right arm at the elbow, not daring to budge.

"Changhai, don't come any closer!" Zhang Chengjing's voice was steady, but the situation had already taken a turn for the worse.

Yu Changhai halted his steps, along with the other high-ranking Exorcists who slightly tilted their heads, looking at Zhang Chengjing's right arm.

His entire hand, including his wrist, had turned black, but for now the blackness was not spreading; it was caught in a stalemate, resisted by Zhang Chengjing's efforts.

At that same instant, Yan Junze stood there, shocked as he looked at the blackness on Zhang Chengjing's arm.

In his mind, a scene that had nearly cost him his life naturally surfaced—it was the first time he encountered Tricky Silk Rock in the Underground Space of Spectacular Courtyard Mountain Park, where he had also been infected with this thing.

Muttering to himself, Yan Junze uttered two words only he could hear,

"Dark... Poison!"

This Dark Poison was an extremely mysterious infectious toxin. After being infected before, Yan Junze could not rid himself of it, no matter how he tried to "Rewind"; it seemed to defy the bounds of time.

However, after analyzing it carefully afterwards, he thought it was possible that he had encountered the source of the Dark Poison after entering Mountain Park, which was why the infection had lingered on him.

But this time was clearly different, as the faceless shadow in the video had, upon seeing the face of the young man at the control desk, immediately mimicked him through the electronic signals as a medium, causing him to be infected with the Dark Poison.

As long as they didn't see that shadow, they could sever this terrifying infection.

Just as Yan Junze was about to Rewind, he heard Yu Changhai say, "This is Dark Poison. How was it contracted?"

Zhang Chengjing, with sweat beading on his forehead, looked up at the black screen and said, "It must have been... from Great Capital over in the USA, after that horrific strangeness killed our Exorcists, it was transmitted here through the electronic signals."

Yu Changhai nodded, his voice grave, "No matter, control it for now. I'll arrange for you to enter the core laboratory on the 30th floor immediately. We should be able to remove all of the toxin by tonight."
