I can rewind time to prevent death

He collapsed the umbrella, and at this moment, Gao Meng, exhausted from the energy use, saw his Semi-Spirit Body slowly fade away. He sat on the ground, resting his back against the wall, gasping for air.

Woman No. 4 stood by Gao Meng's side to protect him, cautiously guarding against any unexpected incidents.

Looking back at the five people who were rigidly standing in the middle, it was apparent that at least half of the blackness had dissipated from their bodies, and each of them began to slowly move.

The man in the second position still had remnants of dark air on his face, but his left hand was now completely free to move. He reached for his magnetic knife at his waist, drew it, and stabbed it into his own abdomen.

The magnetic glow burst forth, piercing through his abdomen, and immediately, a painful roar exploded from within him, as a black shadow darted out.

The man quickly pulled out the magnetic knife, twisted the handle with his left hand, and wiped the blade swiftly towards the escaping shadow, shattering it into nothingness with the magnetic glow.

The dark air finally cleared from the man's face, revealing his features, it was Lin Guo, the four-star Exorcist.

There was no wound on his stomach; what seemed like a suicidal move actually caused no physical harm.

Holding the magnetic knife, Lin Guo's body regained movement. He activated the blade's glow to its maximum, and while his teammates were still dumbfounded, he went on to stab each of them, driving out the Possession Spirits that were still entrenched within their bodies.

With the dark air completely gone, these teammates didn't actually have any wounds on their stomachs. As the Possession Spirits were driven out, they collapsed on the ground, sitting or lying down, panting heavily, temporarily unable to even walk.

The glow of the magnetic knife was actually the most effective method for killing such Possession Spirits, but it required high intensity of magnetic force activation, at least by a four-star Exorcist. For a three-star Exorcist, the control over energy was much weaker. Even with the magnetic knife, they couldn't kill Possession Spirits as crisply as Lin Guo did, one by one.

After resolving the immediate crisis, Lin Guo's face was a bit pale. The standoff had lasted too long, and if it weren't for his exquisite control over magnetic force, the other members of his team might have already been successfully invaded by the Possession Spirits.

Despite this, it had been a close call.

Clearly, Lin Guo had heard Yan Junze's words during the standoff, knowing that their escape was all thanks to the young man before him.

So he immediately directed his gaze towards Yan Junze, and then towards the Black Spirit Umbrella in his hand.

Yan Junze made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "This is a weapon made with reference to one provided by Uncle Zhang Chengjing of the Huaying District Headquarters."

While he explained, his gaze began to move away from the collapsed teammates on the floor.

Not seeing Zhang Xiaomo among them, the worry in his heart intensified. It seemed Xiaomo might have gone upstairs to shut down the server; he wondered if there was even greater danger up there.

Lin Guo didn't know what he was thinking but smiled upon hearing the name "Zhang Chengjing": "You are Teacher Zhang's student, no wonder!"

Yan Junze gestured dismissively, not offering too much of an explanation.

Lin Guo pointed to the electrical switch: "Don't touch that thing for now, it's been tampered with by strangeness."

Then, he swiftly looked around, "When you guys came down, did you not encounter a very powerful Possession Spirit? Its distraction was what caused the brother here trying to switch on the power to be eroded by other Possession Spirits. By the time I acted to rescue them, I was already a beat too late."

"We didn't see it," Yan Junze shook his head, and the others also shook their heads in turn.

At that moment, something seemed to be crawling through the curved pipes overhead, rustling noises traveling along.

All eyes immediately looked up and saw a gaunt man, crawling like an animal, stop just above their heads, tilting his head to look down at the people below.

"He's one of us," Woman No. 4 quickly reminded.

This newcomer was Number 2, who had been responsible for covering the rear in the encounter with the weird maintenance workers on the sub-first floor.

Moving his focus away, Yan Junze suggested, "If we can't touch the switch, let's destroy it outright."

If the switch were destroyed, the power supply would be disconnected, no different from cutting it off.

"Give me a Collapsing Hidden Buckle," Lin Guo said to a young man sitting not far away.

The young man couldn't stand up yet, but he immediately pulled out a Collapsing Hidden Buckle from his pocket and handed it over. Lin Guo caught it and threw it towards the switch.

As the Hidden Buckle was about to make contact with the switch, a swirl of Black Spirit emerged from the middle, enveloping the Buckle and "swallowing" it without a ripple.

Even the Hidden Buckle hadn't reached the conditions to trigger, and it didn't scour outward.

Everyone was stunned.

"Looks like it's being intentionally protected," Lin Guo mused, looking at the magnetic knife in his hand. He couldn't guarantee that throwing it directly at the switch would not be similarly protected by the Black Spirit.

But if he were to physically attack the switch with the magnetic knife in hand, the risk of electrocution was another matter. After all, destroying the switch relied on a physical attack, not the effect of the magnetic glow.
