I can rewind time to prevent death

The Exorcists of the Nether Bakufu in Japan's Great Capital tend to favor a method of combining with strangenesses, which is the method used by the Spirit Cultivators in Huaying's Great Capital.

As for the methods used by the Demonic Exorcists of Olay Great Capital, they seem much more chaotic, including Magnetic Energy Guns, knives, daggers, and even Magnetic Pulse Devices.

However, weapons like Pulse Devices, which affect a wide range, also have a huge impact on ordinary people's lives, potentially paralyzing an area instantly.

After looking through the second area's database and finding too much information, Yan Junze couldn't finish in a short time so he promptly moved on to the third data area.

This data area focused on various strange creatures, including descriptions of all the creatures that Exorcist squads had eliminated or captured since their inception. Yan Junze browsed through this part quickly because he had basically come into contact with them all before.

Some that he hadn't encountered were more or less the same.

However, when he came across a section describing strangenesses, Yan Junze froze, his brow furrowing slightly. No longer skimming, he read each word carefully.

In this passage, he encountered a description of an entity he had never seen before—a so-called "indescribable strangeness."

This "indescribable strangeness" did not seem to be a result of human death but rather emerged due to some unknown causes, and it was extremely rare, seldom seen in Huaying's Great Capital.

Currently, most of the collected data on them came from discoveries in other capitals, with USA's and Olay's Great Capitals being the most frequent.

Strangenesses that materialized out of nowhere due to a strangeness outbreak? What type could they be?

Yan Junze was curious, but among these documents, he couldn't find any specific examples, just a simple description of "indescribable strangeness."

"It was called the Vertical-Mouthed People, with four ears, a single eye, and nearly perfectly round heads. Its mouth was large and not on its head but in the middle of its stomach, vertical from its chest to its navel. When this mouth opened and closed, it was truly terrifying, as you could see a mass of wriggling things inside. This strange creature was first found in Yakliel Village in Olay's Great Capital. When the Exorcists approached it, it had already devoured the skin of the eleventh villager. Yes, it only devoured skin, peeling it off alive from the body..."

Yan Junze took a deep breath and looked up.

Such strange creatures indeed went beyond the category of strangenesses formed after death, and it was unclear how to describe them or whether it was possible to find out their origins.

"Could it have been a deformed human before?" Yan Junze pondered and then shook his head. "No matter how deformed, one could not possibly become like this. And why only consume the skin of living people?"

He flipped through more pages but found no further details on this Vertical-Mouthed Person. Presumably, this information was obtained through special means by the Exorcists of Huaying's Great Capital.

Closing the information booklet, Yan Junze began to speculate that there might be a deeper nature to this world that he was now merely seeing the surface of, yet to be uncovered.

"Indescribable strangeness?" he muttered to himself, and after browsing through more shocking information, he finally left the third data area and headed to the fourth.

The strangenesses introduced in this third area were not classified according to the levels like Wandering Spirit, Sculpting Spirit, and Ethereal Spirit as in Junze's Atlas, but by the level of the events they could cause.

For example, the Vertical-Mouthed Person aforementioned, categorized as an "indescribable strangeness," was listed as a creator of Grade C events.

In Yan Junze's opinion, they were at most in the range of a Semi-Sculpting Spirit.

When Yan Junze arrived at the entrance to the fourth data area, he paused, noticing that the entrance was blocked by a transparent glass door.

He hadn't realized it earlier since the glass door had been wiped almost transparent, but now he saw that the fourth data area was restricted.

There was a card reader next to the glass door.

Yan Junze brought the card Zhang Chengjing had given him to the sensor, and it beeped, but the glass door didn't open. A red font appeared on the small screen above the sensor: Insufficient authority.

"Damn, this is Zhang Chengjing's authority, and it's not enough to enter the fourth data area?" Yan Junze was surprised.

He examined the card closely and saw that it was very new, seemingly not used for long, rather like a newly issued card.

After a moment of thought, he guessed this card wasn't actually the one belonging to Zhang Chengjing but had been newly issued specifically for him to gain entry to this place.

No wonder!

Yan Junze stood in front of the glass door, looking at the data inside the fourth area with an itching heart. From this angle, he could only see the informational plaques hanging on the outside of the corridors of the data area.

The plaque near the glass door read "Special Humans," and deeper inside was "Special Items," while the writing on the plaque at the very back was too unclear to read, but vaguely mentioned something about a "method."

Literally, "Special Humans" would likely refer to individuals with unique constitutions, such as those like Ku Zai who have a close affinity with strangenesses, and perhaps there were other special constitutions, like those naturally possessing significant control over magnetic fields.

"Special Items" was easier to understand, much like the Black Spirit Pearl that Yan Junze carried, which is a typical special item. Such things were, to Yan Junze, the more, the better.
