This ti, Junze didn’t choose to rewind to the mont when Resentful Granny licked Lv Xin’s forehead, but to shortly after the four of them had just sat down, holding hands.
Now, to Yan Junze, the incident of Lv Xin getting his forehead licked by Resentful Granny seed a bit like a show and a diversion of everyone’s attention.
The "Spirit-Splitting" Huang Chen talked about earlier must be similar to being possessed by strangenesses, just that the targets of Spirit-Splitting don’t seem to realize their own changes.
Or perhaps the symptoms they show are just sudden occurrences, and at other tis they still consider themselves to be normal people.
As for when Lv Xin beca victim to Spirit-Splitting, that remains unknown.
Yan Junze had a bold conjecture that the first ti he t Lv Xin, when the guy insisted on going to room 503, might have been the very mont he got Spirit-Split by Resentful Granny.
If Junze went back to the mont when Lv Xin got his forehead licked, that point in ti was already too pressing to reverse, which is why he chose to set the rewind ti a bit earlier.
When he decided to take on the "Evil Spirit-eating" task, he had set the rewind ti to 90 minutes.
There was no choice; knowing that Resentful Granny was dangerous, having more ti to rewind allowed for ease of operation even if there were a few more rewinds, offering more choices.
Earlier, Huang Chen had said that they must prevent Resentful Granny from "interfering," but now it seed that after realizing Lv Xin was Spirit-Split, those present had already been interfered with.
Yan Junze let go of Huang Chen and Lv Xin’s hands, and stood up under the puzzled gazes of the others.
"What are you doing?" Huang Chen said, "Co over here, we need to form a circle."
Just then, faint footsteps arose outside in the corridor, one could imagine Resentful Granny tiptoeing closer to room 503.
Yan Junze shrugged his shoulders, stood in the living room, looked around and said, "There’s no need to hold hands anymore, we’ve already been interfered with."
"What?" Huang Chen stood up.
Everyone’s faces were etched with surprise.
Yan Junze offered no explanation, instead he glanced at the other doors that Lv Xin had closed, his mind rapidly calculating.
So far, for so unknown reason, the spirits of Lü Qiang and Wang Qin hadn’t shown up, and therefore the "Evil Spirit-eating" task couldn’t possibly be carried out.
It was essential to find the critical point of the task, and not rely on Huang Chen and his Hidden Buckles.
The footsteps in the corridor ceased.
Yan Junze knew that before long, Resentful Granny’s voice would ring out inside the master bedroom.
"The bedroom?"
He seed to have thought of sothing, walked to the doorway of another smaller bedroom, reached for the doorknob and gently turned it.
Opening the door, he surveyed the room by the dim light streaming in through the window.
A bed, a wardrobe, that’s all.
This smaller bedroom was much smaller in size compared to the master bedroom.
Not feeling reassured, Yan Junze walked in, lay down on the floor, and looked under the bed.
Nothing there.
He then walked out and closed the door to the small bedroom.
Just as he was about to enter the master bedroom, Resentful Granny’s voice ca from inside: "It hurts..."
Huang Chen and the others jerked in shock, Lv Jiayan grabbed Huang Chen’s arm tightly, her body couldn’t help but tremble, Lv Xin also unconsciously hid behind Huang Chen, feeling a chill in his heart, his gaze warily fixed on the door of the master bedroom.
"Already interfered with? And she’s already co in."
At that mont, Huang Chen felt he had no reason not to believe Yan Junze’s words. Where had he been negligent?
He glanced sideways at Yan Junze, who had reached the doorway of the master bedroom, and cautioned, "Don’t go in there, let’s leave this place."
"We can’t leave," Junze said.
Yan Junze turned his head, not looking at Huang Chen, but instead, glanced at Lv Xin, whose face showed fear.
"He..." Yan Junze raised his hand and pointed at Lv Xin, "has already been spirit-split by Granny Ren."
"What?!" Huang Chen was stunned for a mont and looked at Lv Xin, his eyes instantly filling with wariness.
Because he had personally experienced Granny Ren’s stealthy interference, Huang Chen was being extrely cautious with everything after facing her again.
And since he hadn’t said anything, Yan Junze, as an ordinary person, shouldn’t have known about the so-called "spirit-splitting."
If he could say it out loud in this circumstance, the credibility was at least seventy percent.
"Use your hidden buckle, throw one at him and you’ll know," Yan Junze reminded.
After speaking, he decided not to enter the master bedroom anymore.
Because the Resentful Granny had already sneaked in, Lv Qiang and Wang Qin couldn’t possibly be hiding there.
Standing at the door, he held the handle of the master bedroom without turning it but backed away instead.
At this mont, the Resentful Granny’s hoarse, nauseating voice continued to scream in pain.
Before long, she would co to the back of the master bedroom door and scratch at the door panel with her nails. But as soon as she eventually opened the door, she certainly wouldn’t disturb the hand-holding people like she did just now. Instead, upon realizing sothing was wrong, she would do sothing even more terrifying.
Ti was running out.
"Where are the souls of Lv Qiang and Wang Qin? Why haven’t they appeared yet?"
Yan Junze’s gaze swept around the entire room, then he moved towards the closed bathroom.
Opening the door, the bathroom was terribly dim, and it was hard to see inside at a glance.
He switched on the light casually, and his pupils contracted imdiately. He saw a man and a woman crouching in the corner of the bathroom, covered in grey, trembling.
By this mont, Yan Junze had a rough idea of why Lv Qiang and Wang Qin hadn’t appeared.
Perhaps the Resentful Granny was too powerful, and for souls like theirs, newly created, they simply couldn’t compete with her and were instinctively terrified.
It was like how Ke’er reacted when encountering the Back-faced Woman, running faster than rabbits.
And now, though Lv Qiang and Wang Qin hadn’t run away, they just crouched in the bathroom frightened, which was quite brave of them.
After all, Yan Junze understood their thoughts very well; only by sacrificing themselves could they protect their daughter, Lv Jiayan’s life at this mont.
They must... let the Resentful Granny devour the two of them, so even though they were terrified, the couple’s souls didn’t flee like Ke’er did.
"Lv Qiang? Wang Qin?" Yan Junze called out.
At this ti, dull scratching noises could be heard from the direction of the master bedroom as the Resentful Granny clawed at the door.
The two turned their heads, their faces also covered by a layer of grey gloom.
In Yan Junze’s opinion, this should be a sign of newly created souls, who hadn’t fully transford and entered the realm of a true evil spirit.
However, he didn’t understand why an evil spirit like the Resentful Granny would want to devour such new souls.
Was it like a starving beggar suddenly seeing two delicious roast chickens?
The two souls stood up, looking toward Yan Junze timidly and hesitantly.
Yan Junze had never t Lv Qiang and Wang Qin, and upon hearing the scratching of the door panel, they were even more frightened, trembling as if they were about to run away at any mont.
"Your daughter, Lv Jiayan, is in great danger now. No one can stop Granny Ren, including that exorcist outside," Yan Junze spoke very quickly.
Bang!
Just then, the sound of the hidden buckle exploding could be heard.
