I can rewind time to prevent death

There were no strange shadows.

He carefully shone the flashlight on the Red Coffin and found that the lid had not been opened, everything seemed very quiet.

When he had entered, Jiang Yaofei had not told anyone that he had closed the coffin lid, and Yan Junze had not associated the opening of the lid with the emergence of strangenesses.

In a short moment, Yan Junze had grasped all the movements inside the room. Apart from the coffins at rest, there were no other danger factors, so he focused his attention on the coffins.

Holding the flashlight, he approached the Red Coffin and at that time, he noticed a black hole on the side facing him.

The hole had already pierced through to the inside of the coffin, dark and bottomless, not even the light from the flashlight could penetrate it.

Yan Junze carefully walked over, crouched down, and discovered that there was an identical black hole on the other side of the coffin, which looked very symmetrical to the one facing the entrance.

"Two holes, could it be that it stretches out legs, and the coffin can walk on its own?" Yan Junze wondered, and then another possibility came to him, "Or, is it for extending hands out, to walk supported on the ground?"

"What a bizarre coffin!"

Yan Junze muttered to himself, stood up, and was about to walk around this half-large coffin to continue his observation.

Just then, he noticed something flash past inside the dark holes, that is, inside the coffin, followed by the sound of whimpering cries.

"Is there someone inside? No, is it a strangeness?"

Yan Junze crouched down again, the flashlight's beam aimed at the hole, but it was still pitch dark and nothing could be seen, although one could clearly feel that there was someone crying inside.

Listening to the sound, it seemed to be a young girl.

Trying to lower his head as much as possible, Yan Junze asked, "Who's inside?"

After saying these words, a wave of familiar memories suddenly flooded his mind.

These were memories from Yan Junze's past life. When he was very young, he had once mischievously jumped on a well cover, which inadvertently gave way and he fell in, not to be discovered and rescued until two hours later.

Luckily, it was a cable well, with no sewage or foul air, so young Yan Junze didn't suffocate, but during those two undetected hours, it became Yan Junze's nightmare every night thereafter.

The suffocating darkness, the feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and fear, for some time after that, Yan Junze was unable to forget; he felt an inexplicable fear.

And now, the whimpering cries coming from inside the coffin were strikingly similar to his own reactions after having fallen into the well and cried out helplessly.

Yan Junze was well aware that after he had cried until he was tired, the surroundings had been pitch dark, as if something had been staring at him all along, and the whimpering was completely involuntary.

Even now, he couldn't understand why he had made that kind of noise in the past.

As soon as the words "Who's inside" escaped his mouth, the crying from inside the coffin suddenly stopped. Then, a slightly hoarse but seemingly childlike voice came out, speaking extremely slowly.

"Save... me!"

"Who are you?" Yan Junze couldn't help the chill in his heart, shivering slightly.

It was as though he could hear his younger self again, calling out in agony and helplessness for rescue.

The person inside did not answer him but continued, "Brother, save... me! It's very dark here, so dark, I... am scared!"

Yan Junze's body was covered with goosebumps; his scalp tingled slightly as he asked again, "How can I save you?"

"Here..." The voice responded, "Here... there is a hole, reach your hand inside, press down the secret latch, and save me... out!"

"What? Put my hand into this hole?" Yan Junze stared doubtfully at the dark hole.
