I can rewind time to prevent death

Transforming into a True Spirit would then become a real strangeness, and one could never return to being a human.

Originally, the Back-faced Woman planted the Fake Spirit in me with the intention of both taking care of and monitoring me. At that time, she did not care about the harm it would cause my body after implanting the Fake Spirit.

Of course, if utilized properly, having a Semi-Spirit Body can be life-saving in certain special circumstances.

But no matter what, it is still a form of harm, unavoidable over the years.

Just like Zhang Xiaomo's partner, Zhang Di, who also accidentally acquired a Semi-Spirit Body, his strength increased rapidly, but his lifespan would be shorter than that of an ordinary person.

This doesn't even account for the possibility of accidents when activating the Semi-Spirit Body. When that moment comes, one would instantly become a True Spirit, which is even riskier.

Therefore, for ordinary people, becoming a Fake Spirit is a mixed blessing: the joy is in the enhanced strength, but the sorrow lies in the precariousness of life. One cannot eat normally but must consume some bizarre foods.

For instance, Yan Junze later discovered that drinking a bit of blood was still all right, but Zhang Di's staple was actually eating dirt. All sorts of soil—dry, wet, sticky—he wasn't picky.

Just thinking about that scene made Yan Junze feel like retching.

No wonder the first time I asked Zhang Di what he ate, the guy just pretended not to hear.

After withdrawing the Back-faced Woman back into the node, Yan Junze sensed several times and finally confirmed that his Semi-Spirit Body had indeed disappeared.

For a moment, he actually felt somewhat unable to adapt.

For so long, after acquiring the abilities of the Semi-Spirit Body, his attack methods had been used many times, each having a significant impact. In fact, there were one or two instances where Yan Junze survived solely through the Semi-Spirit Body; without it, he might have been long dead.

However, on second thought, the recklessness and naivety I often exhibited must come at a cost.

Previously, relying on the Rewind, I recklessly bashed ahead; a few times, indeed, I did too much. If it weren't for the Semi-Spirit Body standing in the way, I would have been done for.

Now that the Back-faced Woman has taken it back, the first benefit is that I can live a bit longer. The second is not having to worry about accidentally turning into a True Spirit after activating it, and the third is being able to enjoy delicious food again, not just continue drinking various bloods. As for the fourth and most important one, it serves as a reminder to myself to always be cautious.

However, losing such a powerful means of confronting strangenesses so suddenly indeed feels a bit awkward.

Yan Junze revealed a bitter smile, lowered his head, and looked at his outstretched hands. Was his control over the magnetic field over after washing Ke'er's hair?

With a thought, he looked at Ke'er, who was lying on his shoulder.

At this moment, Ke'er was just like when she first met him, lying on him motionless all day.

Of course, if she encountered other stronger strangenesses, she would still...

Yan Junze reached out to touch her hair, sensing the strange magnetic field coming from Ke'er just like he had when he sensed the Semi-Spirit Body within his own mind.

As his left hand neared Ke'er's hair, he gently lifted it, letting it fall naturally.

His fingers touched Ke'er's cheek next, pressing it lightly, with no reaction from her.

Yan Junze extended two fingers and firmly pinched Ke'er's cheek, wiggling it around.

Ke'er's brows furrowed, and she suddenly woke up, her face unhappy as she looked up and saw it was Yan Junze pinching her.

She didn't know why but her frown immediately smoothed out, not upset anymore, and she lay her head back on Yan Junze's shoulder, making "ya ya ya ya" sounds. She twirled her forefinger near Yan Junze's earlobe twice, then closed her eyes again.

Yan Junze was already overjoyed in his heart.

That's right, if Ke'er could feel the pinch, that means... I still possess the ability to control strangenesses magnetic field!

What's going on here?
