Asking a granny who I had just t to help solve the current dilemma seed easy enough in theory, but it was incredibly difficult to put into practice.
However, if I could help the Back-faced Woman find her child before ending up in the underground parking garage again, or before Lv Xin transford again, then Yan Junze wouldn’t have to be threatened by her anymore and wouldn’t have to grow hair all over his body.
In that case, there would be a chance to cozy up to the granny. Although she might not eventually step in to help, just intimidating the Back-faced Woman a bit could possibly aid in resolving the current crisis.
So at this mont, Yan Junze had a guess, a guess regarding why the Back-faced Woman kept following him.
Wasn’t she looking for her child?
At this mont, Yan Junze prepared to confirm his speculation. If he guessed correctly, he would imdiately Rewind to the mont in the underground parking garage when the Back-faced Woman had just recognized the two strange babies.
"Ke’er."
With a thought, Yan Junze summoned Ke’er from the 12th node of the Spaceti Atlas, where she was Locked down.
The mont Ke’er in her red dress appeared, she instinctively tried to climb up to Yan Junze’s neck.
But the next second, as if she realized sothing, she turned her head and saw the grey mist that had stirred up not far away. She imdiately let out terrified cries and turned to dart up to the railing of the corridor, ready to leap down to the next floor.
Yan Junze was prepared and quickly grabbed Ke’er, preventing her from running away in fear.
At this ti, the Back-faced Woman in the distance had been devastated by Lv Xin and was in terrible shape. One of her legs was broken, dangling from the thigh, leaving her unable to stand. A hole gaped from her chest to her back, while most of her hair had been lted by Lv Xin’s body.
The Resentful Granny on Lv Xin’s chest continued to howl, while Lv Xin himself had a grim expression, his lips curling into a cruel smile as he grabbed the Back-faced Woman by her hair, lifting her from the ground.
The Back-faced Woman, who had already lost most of her hair, had her disheveled face exposed even more by Lv Xin yanking her up by the hair.
It was at this mont that Ke’er, who had been struggling to break free and flee, suddenly lay still in Yan Junze’s arms.
"Eh?!"
Ke’er let out her trademark sound.
Her gaze shifted to the Back-faced Woman who was lifted nearby, looking at her ragged face.
"Eh!!!"
This was Ke’er’s second cry of surprise.
But soon, she wriggled out of Yan Junze’s arms, stood up on her own, and faced the direction of the Back-faced Woman. Her mouth opened slightly, and she uttered the first sentence Yan Junze had ever heard her say.
"Mom... mom..."
As this cry was heard, not only was Yan Junze left dumbfounded on the spot, but even Lv Xin and the Back-faced Woman nearby montarily paused their actions.
"Holy shit, it’s really so!" Yan Junze muttered to himself.
After uttering a word, Ke’er imdiately dropped to the ground and rushed toward the Back-faced Woman on all fours.
"Ke... ke..." From the Back-faced Woman’s torn-open throat, a fuzzy sound erged, vaguely sounding as though she was calling Ke’er’s na.
By this ti, Ke’er had already dashed in front of the Back-faced Woman.
"Ke’er is truly the Back-faced Woman’s child!" Yan Junze thought excitedly. "Your mom is in such a state and still can recognize you, absolutely your own flesh and blood."
Now that it was confird that the Back-faced Woman could find her own child, it was ti to imdiately Rewind to the mont in the underground parking garage when the black hair hadn’t yet grown on his body.
And before that, Yan Junze could take the initiative to release Ke’er a step earlier, letting her and the Back-faced Woman have their mother-daughter reunion. Once the Back-faced Woman’s issue was resolved, he could then return to the little door in the southeast corner of the parking garage.
See Granny to find a way to break through the current predicant.
At that mont, Lv Xin released the hair of the Back-faced Woman he was holding, and Ke’er quickly leaped onto her mother’s back, hugging the Back-faced Woman tightly.
Sounds kept emanating from her mouth.
"Mommy... Mommy... Mommy..."
The Back-faced Woman, now left with only one hand, turned around to hug Ke’er, her head nodding continuously, obviously, at this mont, her obsession was greatly satisfied.
Ke’er’s inherent sensitivity had always caused her to flee at the first sign of danger, which is why she and the Back-faced Woman had never truly t.
But after finding the two strange babies in the underground parking lot, the Back-faced Woman wandered around upstairs, afraid of Granny Ren, and inadvertently noticed sothing odd about Yan Junze, which was also unconscious.
Even she couldn’t understand why she had started following Yan Junze from that ti on.
The mystery was unraveling: it was a subtle connection between mother and daughter. Even with the oppression of strangenesses at play, at this mont, mother and daughter finally t.
The obsession of an Evil Spirit is delicate, like the Back-faced Woman’s need to find her child, leading her to leave no stone unturned, regardless of whether the child spirit was one, two, four, or five years younger than Ke’er prior to death - as long as it was a child, the Back-faced Woman subconsciously had to acknowledge it.
Now that they have t and confird the mother-daughter relationship between the Back-faced Woman and Ke’er, Yan Junze was about to Rewind imdiately.
However, the next second, he stopped the thought of Rewinding and looked ahead.
He saw that shortly after eting Ke’er, the Back-faced Woman suddenly stood up.
At this mont, she was left with only one leg, as the other leg had been broken below the knee by Lv Xin, hanging by skin and flesh alone.
She grabbed the severed leg, reattached it to where it was broken, and then the Back-faced Woman truly steadied herself.
Witnessing this scene, Yan Junze abandoned the plan to Rewind imdiately, as he seed to have discovered an opportunity.
"Seems like she got stronger?!"
With the Back-faced Woman now steady on her feet, her hair, which had partially lted away, was visibly growing back rapidly, soon reaching its original length.
It was at this mont that Yan Junze realized he had been mistaken, for the hair of the two mother and daughter was so similar, both with long hair, and both full of dirty adhesions clumped together into bundles of thick knots.
Once the Back-faced Woman stood upright, Ke’er still clung firmly to her back, effectively embracing the Back-faced Woman from the front.
The Back-faced Woman tossed her hair, extending a portion of it to wrap around the left hand and arm that had been thrown away, and violently pulled it back.
Just like before, she directly stuffed the severed limb back into its original place.
At this ti, mist was rising under her feet and quickly ford a dense fog surrounding her, more intense than before.
"Having Ke’er, this is... a Super Saiyan transformation!" Yan Junze watched this scene, dumbfounded.
It seems that there’s no need to Rewind for now, judging from the aura displayed by the Back-faced Woman after acquiring Ke’er, it seems like she might stand a chance against the grotesque Lv Xin.
Although he didn’t quite understand these phenona, it was clear that this might just be the opportunity for a strangeness to undergo an evolution.
And for the Back-faced Woman, Ke’er’s appearance was that opportunity. Just like how Granny Ren, after her death and the intense hatred caused by her son killing her, encountered the opportunity leading to her own evolution, transforming into the Resentful Granny.
Of course, the current state of the Resentful Granny after entering Lv Xin’s body puzzled Yan Junze.
It seed that it was no longer as simple as the initial Semi-Sculpting Spirit state of the Resentful Granny, or else she wouldn’t have been able to overpower the Back-faced Woman.
