I can rewind time to prevent death

She stood silently, her gaze fixed on the protagonist in the photograph. Upon closer inspection, the gaze of the woman in the black dress appeared somewhat gloomy. "We compared her facial information with data from the security bureau, but found nothing," Huang Chen said. "It could be a woman who has been dead for a long time," Yan Junze said. In these photos, wherever there were passers-by in the background, the woman was there too, albeit sometimes very faintly, sometimes half obscured by someone else, revealing only half of her face. Sometimes, her body was almost completely covered up, leaving only a glimpse of her black dress's hem. Yan Junze took out his phone, opened Xia Ruolan's photo, and sure enough, in the background of the recreational villa in the photo, he also saw a woman in a black dress. It seemed like the woman was walking by, as if she just happened to pass by, but she turned her head slightly; although it was a bit blurry, one could still make out her cold expression, watching the photo's main subjects intently. Now, it seemed that finding and getting rid of this woman was the key to resolving the entire situation. "According to your investigation, generally, how long does it take for the people in the photographs to turn their heads completely, from the time they notice until they die?" Yan Junze looked up at Huang Chen and added another question, "That is, how long does it take for them to die?" Huang Chen said, "It varies, some die within five days, others only start feeling the danger after half a month." Yan Junze gave a wry smile, "Can you be a bit more reliable? You told me yesterday that the people in the photos had to turn their heads completely before they were in mortal danger, but my friend almost didn't wake up last night. I'm going to see her later to find out the specifics." Huang Chen wore an embarrassed smile and rubbed his head, "There are no rules to this strangeness, and the victims don't share any common patterns, so my estimation might inevitably be wrong. Besides, I feel... she's just killing indiscriminately." "On that point, I agree," Yan Junze nodded. With so much understood, he now had a rough idea, which would probably be confirmed after meeting with Xia Ruolan at noon. What was most troubling now was that no one could find where this strangeness was hiding, which meant they couldn't act without a definite target. Even after encountering Xia Ruolan without detecting any strangeness, Yan Junze had activated his Mission Perception, but unfortunately, he still discovered nothing. Now he suspected two possibilities, the first was that the strangeness was hiding inside of photos, similar to the last incident with the Peephole Strange Creature, existing in a different space. Since he didn't know which photo it was, the Mission Perception couldn't pick it up. The second guess was that the woman in the black dress had hidden herself in dreams, projecting her image in some form to appear in the photos, executing her indiscriminate killings. In such a case, Mission Perception likewise couldn't detect her presence. After getting all the photos photocopied for himself from Huang Chen, Yan Junze put them in a new file bag and informed Chen that he would contact him later, perhaps by then he would have a way to find and eliminate this strangeness. Hearing this news, Huang Chen was quite pleased; he had interacted with Yan Junze more than once or twice and knew this young man had his own way of dealing with strangenesses. Like daring to attract the Back-faced Woman and the Resentful Granny to fight against each other, thereby escaping a fatal catastrophe for himself. This current strangeness was obviously no trivial matter, and if Yan Junze was confident he could handle it, Huang Chen was quite willing to trust him and also considered it a credit to the Shuntian Exorcist team. After the matter was concluded, Yan Junze left the old building of the archive department and crossed the streets, arriving shortly at the coffee shop where Xiang Er and Ku Zai were. Upon entering the private room, he noticed something was off with both of them: Xiang Er had a tense face, while Ku Zai wore an awkward smile.
