"Ah!"
Yan Junze was startled when he heard Tang Zhengyi continue over the phone, "It’s really a coincidence, you haven’t contacted us for many days, and just this morning I had the studio check the surveillance equipnt in FH Community to make sure it was still functional. Who would have thought that not long after turning it on, I saw you..."
"Did you record everything?" Yan Junze asked.
"Almost everything." Tang Zhengyi said, "We haven’t installed caras in the underground garage, so there’s no footage from there, but aside from inside your ho, we’ve captured almost every single fra in the corridors."
"What a coincidence indeed," Yan Junze marveled.
However, it seed as if Tang Zhengyi beca sowhat hesitant, stamring for a while before asking, "Mr. Yan, may I ask about your relationship with the exorcists?"
Yan Junze guessed what he was thinking and replied, "There’s no special relationship, we just interact quite frequently."
"Mhm." Tang Zhengyi didn’t probe further, "This video content is sowhat shocking, so we also need to study it. We may have to get consent from the exorcism team at Tianng before it can be released, and there may be several parts that need editing."
"No problem, you do what you see fit."
As for the video platform "Open Your Eyes," Yan Junze believed they had a better sense of judgnt than he did. After all, he was not a professional in this field.
Now that his house was destroyed, repurchasing furniture and repairing doors and windows would cost a considerable amount of money.
If the video sold well, that would be great. At least he could use the money to cover these expenses, and there might even be so left over.
After ending the call with Tang Zhengyi, whether the video could be sent out or not would be sothing to wait for in the coming days.
After the hallway scene was cleaned up, the staff of the exorcist team conducted a final check inside Yan’s house, collecting so debris before withdrawing completely.
From start to finish, no police were involved.
Zhang Xiaomo called not long after Huang Chen and the others left.
Yan Junze briefly explained what had happened, and Zhang Xiaomo was full of marvel over the phone at his idea of using one strangeness to counteract another.
However, since the incident was resolved, she no longer needed to rush to Shuntian City. She said she would look for Yan Junze later to catch up.
Yan Daguo, his father, returned ho around noon because he had worked a night shift the previous evening. He had slept on the sofa at the factory when it was nearly dawn, which was why he got ho late.
When he arrived ho, Yan Junze was tidying up the living room.
He couldn’t move the large pieces of damaged furniture, so he had cleaned up the broken wood, debris, glass shards, etc., and placed any movable items to one side.
The broken items were ready to be thrown away, while those that could still be used would be utilized for the ti being.
Yan Daguo was completely baffled by the scene, and besides the secret of his ability to rewind and the mission he had to complete, Yan Junze didn’t hide anything else.
After learning about the cause of the ss, Yan Daguo said nothing at first. He inquired whether Yan Junze had been injured or if there was anything off about his health.
While helping to clean up, he also kept an eye out for any unusual reactions from Yan Junze. He was, in fact, unconcerned about the loss to their ho.
What’s broken is broken, as long as everyone is safe.
"The exorcists just checked the house again to make sure there’s nothing abnormal left behind," Yan Junze added in order to soothe his father’s worries.
Yan Daguo nodded, "When your mother cos back later, I’ll explain things to her. As you know, if it’s not explained properly she’ll keep bringing it up."
Yan Junze smiled.
He moved the large pieces left from the damaged furniture out of the room, piling them in the corridor first. Yan Daguo was still not reassured by his son’s explanation and made another trip to Uncle Li’s place next door to get so information.
Of course, Uncle Li was terrified, and his view of the details wasn’t very clear. Moreover, during the ti when the two strangenesses were fighting fiercely, Uncle Li was so scared that he ran into his bedroom to hide and didn’t dare to watch at all.
Later in the evening, when his mother, Li Man, got ho, she was inevitably shocked. It wasn’t until late at night that the father and son managed to calm her down.

After a rough estimate, they concluded that the household had lost a sofa set, a coffee table, a television, three wooden chairs, and so odds and ends. Since none of the items were high-end goods, the total damage was estimated to be around ten thousand yuan.
Yan Daguo figured they could slowly replace the other pieces of furniture, but they had soone co to install a new window on that very day.
Li Man was very worried that this incident would affect Yan Junze’s studies, so once the house was in order, she imdiately sent him back to his bedroom to focus on studying and not to think about anything else.
As for the frequent occurrence of their son attracting strangenesses, the couple had ford a common view that their son’s physique was definitely special and that he might indeed follow the path of an exorcist one day.
This prospect left them sowhat at a loss. In this era, the profession of exorcist was undoubtedly very respectable, but it also seed fraught with danger, as evident from the events of today.
The physical destruction caused by the strangenesses was significant enough to make the couple reassess the exorcist profession they used to respect imnsely, and they began to worry.
Yan Junze returned to his bedroom, first placing his books on the desk—just for show—then took out the statue of the Yin Yang Master, Lin Yishan, from his backpack.
The statue was quite heavy in his hand; even if it wasn’t made entirely of gold, it surely contained a significant amount of gold.
After opening the statue, Yan Junze vigorously wiped it down with old newspapers, quickly removing the black dirt that covered it, revealing the gleaming golden statue underneath.
However, to completely clean it and restore it to its original state, he would probably need to go to a jewelry store.
Though he had received a replenishnt of Different Dinsion Energy after completing tasks that day, the Spaceti Atlas’ Different Dinsion Energy was not filled up but was absorbing slowly.
According to Yan Junze’s estimates, without completing other tasks, it would take about a week of this slow absorption to completely fill the current Spaceti Atlas with nodes and tilines.
So, when he was holding the statue that he had just quickly cleaned, he suddenly paused because he felt the rate at which the Missing Different Dinsion Energy in the Spaceti Atlas was being restored was speeding up.
What was the reason?
Yan Junze placed the statue on the desk and felt it again, and the rate was normal.
When he picked up the statue again, the rate of energy restoration sped up once more—it appeared he had stumbled upon a treasure!
At this mont, Yan Junze understood what the "Drop the Handkerchief" task ant by the treasure.
The statue could also absorb Different Dinsion Energy, or maybe what the Yin Yang Master called "Yin Energy"—either way, the statue was currently filled with a significant amount of Different Dinsion Energy.
With it, the Spaceti Atlas could speed up its energy restoration, which could an directly extracting energy from within the statue.
Thus, as the Spaceti Atlas was restoring energy, the statue was also absorbing and storing it, and could even accelerate the transfer of energy to the Atlas,
Examining the statue closely for a mont, Yan Junze noticed that Lin Yishan looked to be about sixty, exuding a sense of a hermit, if not quite a celestial air.
"It’s a waste to use this rely as a statue," Yan Junze mumbled to himself, "why not turn it into so kind of weapon? One that can store Different Dinsion Energy and also inflict damage on strangenesses!"
Of course, if the statue were to be turned into a weapon, he couldn’t alter its essence, otherwise, Yan Junze didn’t believe a hamr, once transford from the statue, would still serve as a hamr.
