I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 419 - 317: Takeout (Part One)

Chapter 419: Chapter 317: Takeout (Part One)

After hanging up the phone, Yan Junze said to Huahua and Xiang Er, “We’ve encountered an unexpected incident and might have to stay here for the night, so I won’t be returning to school today.”

He then said to Huahua, “If you want to go back, you can take this car. Xiang and I will get off here.”

Upon hearing this, Huahua immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, “No way, no way, I’m not going back to school alone. Everyone in the dormitory has left, and if I go back alone, I’ll be scared to death at night. No, I’ll stay here with you guys.”

Yan Junze smiled and said to the taxi driver, “Brother driver, please stop ahead; we won’t be going to the Science and Technology University anymore.”

The Si family’s home was located in the Southern District of Tianmeng, which happened to be the area where He Yun mentioned the sudden outbreak of strangenesses.

When Yan Junze heard about the commonalities among the families that had experienced these strangenesses, his heart skipped a beat, recalling the pizza that had been on the coffee table in the Si family’s living room.

...

Clearly, Si Nannan and Si Dehua, including himself later on, were entangled by the strangeness looking for a substitute because they had eaten a piece of that pizza.

Now, it seemed that the Si family was not the only one that had been targeted by the strangenesses more than once; several families in the vicinity of the Southern District were beleaguered by strangenesses after eating takeout.

For such a series of events involving strangeness, the Exorcism team needed to respond more swiftly, treating it as a priority incident.

However, in Yan Junze’s view, they should call for an official Exorcist to handle this, why get him, an auxiliary member, involved?

After all, he knew that the Exorcism team no longer regarded him as an auxiliary member, or at least they did not equate his capabilities with those of an auxiliary member’s.

In any case, since he had already encountered this issue in advance at the Si family’s home, dealing with it now wouldn’t leave him completely in the dark.

At Huahua’s request, he didn’t want to delay Yan Junze’s work, so he planned to go back to Si Nannan’s home and stay there for the night, wait until the next morning to return to school to pack up his things, and then take a flight home.

His return to Si Nannan’s place was perfect timing as Yan Junze and Xiang Er could take him there and inquire about the details of the incident with Si Nannan.

In fact, after learning that it was the pizza that led to the possession by the strangeness, Yan Junze also became suspicious of the pizza. However, with the multitude of bizarre incidents occurring nowadays, if he were to probe into each one thoroughly, he wouldn’t be able to attend to anything else.

Currently, his focus was on problem-solving; once the problem at hand was resolved and the strangeness cleared, it would be considered the completion of the task, and he rarely went back to contemplate the cause of the problem.

If one were to talk about causes, then why strangeness exists in the world at all is what should truly be explored and understood.

But now, things were different. Since the Exorcism team was already paying attention to it and the strangeness displayed the characteristics of a chain event, it piqued Yan Junze’s curiosity as well.

Back at Si Nannan’s home, Huahua simply said that Yan Junze and Xiang Er had other matters to deal with, and that he was afraid to go back alone, so he wanted to rest at Si Nannan’s for the night.

Naturally, Si Nannan was happy, and the Si Dehua couple were very hospitable. After all, if it weren’t for Huahua calling Yan Junze over, they might have already moved out to stay with relatives.

Yan Junze and Xiang Er stood at the door without entering and said to Si Nannan, “There’s something we need to ask you about.”

“Sure, Brother Yan, what is it?” Si Nannan nodded.

“What time did you order the pizza today?” Yan Junze asked.

Si Nannan suddenly became a bit flustered and did not answer immediately.

Yan Junze frowned as he watched her, but did not press the question.

After a moment, Si Nannan, with an embarrassed look, said, “I didn’t order it.”

“What?” everyone gasped, including her parents standing right beside her.

“I had just gotten home, and then I heard someone ring the doorbell, saying that the takeout I ordered had arrived,” Si Nannan said. “I checked and indeed it was a delivery person, so I opened the door, and they handed me a steaming pizza. I asked if there had been a mistake, but the person confirmed the address was here, then said the bill had been paid and walked away.”

“And then you just accepted it and ate the pizza?” Yan Junze asked.

“Well, I was a bit hungry,” Si Nannan admitted sheepishly with a nod.

“You silly girl, how can you be so unguarded?” Si Dehua finally learned the truth and was somewhat angry.

The main concern was that he had also eaten a piece of pizza; he feared that if there were drugs in the food, with his daughter alone at home, the danger would be as great, if not greater, than the threat of possession by a spirit.

It should be known that in today’s world, if someone’s intentions are malicious, even the most powerful and ferocious spirits have to step aside.

“Did you get a good look at the person who delivered the takeout?” Yan Junze inquired.

Si Nannan shook her head, “His hat was pulled down low, I could only see the lower half of his face, not his full appearance.”

“Do you have any surveillance cameras outside in the hallway?”

Yan Junze looked up around him, and before Si Nannan could answer, he had already spotted a white camera with a red light blinking next to it, indicating that it was operating normally.

Si Dehua, having put on his shoes, promptly walked out into the hallway and looked up. Upon seeing the camera, he said, “I can go with you to the security office and have them pull up the surveillance footage.”

“All right,” Yan Junze nodded.

Everyone else stayed at home while Si Dehua, Yan Junze, and Xiang Er went to the security office.

The security office and surveillance room were connected; one had to enter the security office to access the surveillance room.

Thanks to Si Dehua’s connections in the residential complex, he promptly gained the right to view the surveillance footage through an acquaintance who was a property manager. A security guard led them into the surveillance room, where they began searching the camera footage based on the time Si Nannan received the pizza.
