Chapter 246: Chapter 234 Half a Hide (Part 1) (4000 words)_2
That said, this guy acted way too quickly, didn’t he? Without a second thought, he just slashed down, gifting such a big welco present the first ti we t. Yan Junze didn’t know whether to feel touched or to seek revenge.
But Guo Youliang really didn’t know, if he had been aware that I was a Semi-spirit, maybe he wouldn’t have killed so quickly.
The rewind ti for [Automatic Rewind on Near-Death] was very short this ti, it simply allowed Yan Junze to avoid the mont of crisis, which seed to be already considering energy conservation.
However, rewinding to this mont clearly wasn’t the best timing, so Yan Junze just pondered for a mont and executed another rewind.
This ti he rewound completely, back to the mont he had just received all his tasks.
The two bootlickers were still looking at Yan Junze with surprise and skepticism.
Yan Junze stood up and said directly to the leading middle-aged man, “Gather everyone here, danger is approaching.”
The leading middle-aged man was just about to ask why Liang and De hadn’t co back; hearing Yan Junze’s words, he was stunned for a mont and asked, “How do you know?”
Yan Junze didn’t want to say too much and made up a reason, “As a Semi-spirit, my perception is very strong, very sensitive.”
The leading middle-aged man didn’t ask anything more and imdiately began to gather people.
Yan Junze, anwhile, walked toward the direction of the straw shed.
Those two young n had headed straight for the latrine upon entering this place, definitely out of urgency; by this ti, they had already been inside for a while.
But this ti, Yan Junze knew that perhaps the Half of a Skin had already arrived or was about to arrive very soon. Either way, ti was of the essence, so he imdiately rushed to the latrine and peeked inside.
“Fuck, what’s your fetish, kid? Like doing this!” one of the young n taking a dump suddenly exclaid.
From his voice, it was clear he hadn’t encountered the Skin yet. Yan Junze breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Pull up your pants and assemble outside right away, or no one will be left to collect your corpses.”
Startled, the two in the latrine didn’t say anything and probably didn’t even wipe their asses clean; they just pulled their pants up and rushed out of the latrine.
Yan Junze pointed outside, “You go first, I’ll follow shortly.”
After they left, he stood outside the latrine, waiting quietly.
About a minute later, there was a strange noise from the roof. Yan Junze looked up, about to check it out, when a Skin suddenly pounced down from the roof. He was prepared and quickly dodged to the side.
The Skin missed its target, but it didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, it turned midair and pounced at him again.
Taking out the club was sure to be negligible against the Skin at this mont, so Yan Junze didn’t plan to use the club.
He also didn’t plan to turn into a Semi-spirit right away, instead, he took out a mirror, the small one with a handle that ca from the [Person in the Mirror] task.
The mont the small mirror appeared, he aid it in the direction of the pouncing Skin.
The Skin shuddered violently and stopped midair. This was the first ti Yan Junze used the small mirror.
From the earlier reaction, the mirror was a vista of black chaos and a shadow that seed to be a Mirror Spirit was roaring within, which was quite eerie.
Yan Junze didn’t believe that the power displayed by the Mirror Spirit couldn’t deal with the Skin.
The mont the Skin stopped, Yan Junze also felt the mirror trembling slightly, and a black vortex appeared inside it.
The vortex spun inward, and within a few seconds of its appearance, a black hand reached out, grabbing at the Skin.
Just then, Guo Youliang jumped down from the roof, holding a magnetic knife and charging over.
The small mirror trembled again, and the black arm quickly retracted, with all manifestations disappearing.
The Skin quickly spread out like a kite, flying over the straw shed and towards the courtyard outside.
After Guo Youliang landed, he glanced at Yan Junze, while at the sa mont, from the courtyard outside, a chorus of yells erupted. The arrival of the Skin was like a rat jumping into a soup pot.
“Not good!” Guo Youliang couldn’t speak in ti.
Ever since he saw Yan Junze standing there, he had guessed that a new batch of Exorcists had arrived, but the demon skin was too bizarre. Its sudden appearance could easily lead to complete annihilation.
Without communicating with Yan Junze, Guo Youliang imdiately broke through the door of the grass shed and rushed out of the courtyard.
Yan Junze, however, smiled bitterly. He hadn’t expected Guo Youliang’s arrival to cause such chaos, and his guess was not wrong—the little mirror he carried with him was indeed powerful, and using it to save his life at a critical mont probably wouldn’t be a problem.
Now that the thod was proven ineffective, Yan Junze didn’t follow Guo Youliang but instead chose to Rewind.
In a blur, he was once again standing outside the latrine, with the two young n already sent away by him.
But this ti, Yan Junze didn’t plan to take out the little mirror again.
He decided to risk himself.
Speaking of risk, before the first Rewind, he already knew that even if the demon skin attached itself to him, due to the resistance of the Semi-Spirit State, it could not harm him imdiately.
In that case, he could prevent it from harming others, so…
This ti, when the skin swooped down from the roof, Yan Junze didn’t evade, didn’t take out the mirror, but just stood there, waiting to be plastered in the face by the creature.
As a sense of rging erged, the Semi-Spirit State was imdiately triggered.
Unlike ordinary people, Yan Junze remained fully conscious at the mont. He could feel his skin becoming harder, resisting the attachnt, and hairs growing through the pores.
His head also started to twist slowly backward.
During the twisting, Yan Junze, for convenience, consciously turned around so that his face was facing the direction Guo Youliang would appear from.
The skin obviously hadn’t expected this person to be so troubleso, and at the sa mont, the viewpoint of the Back-faced Woman from Yan Junze’s mind appeared again.
This ti, the Back-faced Woman was not in the previously abandoned warehouse, but unexpectedly walking on a street.
The street was desolate and empty, with an air of death. The shops along the street were either closed, half open, or directly smashed. Abandoned cardboard boxes, broken wood, old newspapers, and other debris were stirred up by a breeze, looking incredibly bleak.
Yan Junze paused for a mont, unsure of where this was, but it seed to be a Dead City.
Then the Back-faced Woman stopped, clearly perceiving the confrontation between Yan Junze and the demon skin. Yan Junze also sensed that, once the Back-faced Woman reacted, she began helping him by continuously exerting force, speeding up the growth of his hair.
The skin was about to be embedded into Yan Junze’s own skin, but at this mont, the strong resistance brought the encroachnt to a deadlock.
Soon, Guo Youliang jumped down from the roof and saw Yan Junze being attached by the skin. Yan Junze’s reaction was different from others, terrifying, with hair growing all over his body, and his head twisted.
This scene startled Guo Youliang. He didn’t think about anything else but cursed inwardly at how powerful the attachnt had beco at that mont; he couldn’t let this creature escape again.
The magnetic knife in his hand flipped, ready to make a “clean cut” through the middle of Yan Junze’s forehead, and incidentally split the skin in two, ending this nace.
As the magnetic knife was raised, Yan Junze’s voice suddenly blared, “Don’t cut, I can resist it!”
This outcry, being unprecedented since the skin had attached to humans, startled the normally polite Guo Youliang into trembling, and an expletive “f*ck” slipped from his mouth. In the end, he didn’t bring the knife down and hastily retreated.
At that mont, Yan Junze was thinking to himself that he must have had a score to settle with Guo Youliang in his past life since it was only their first eting, and he had already tried to chop him twice.
Seeing Guo Youliang’s unsettled expression, Yan Junze added, “I have a Semi-Spirit Body and can resist and temporarily detain it, but there are other colleagues outside.”
Guo Youliang suddenly understood and thought it made sense that this guy showed different symptoms after being attached, it must have been the Semi-Spirit State being stimulated.
Having deduced the reason, Guo Youliang turned to leave, saying, “Hold on a bit longer, I’m going to get everyone outside to retreat quickly!”
Yan Junze: “…”
