Time shattered under Mia’s snap.
Kasha’s wide eyes froze in place.
He saw the lurking creature that had opened its blood-filled maw and approached Mia’s head.
The saliva dripping from it twisted into an oval shape, shimmering with a crystal-clear yet nauseating line as it splashed through the air.
The other lurking creatures falling from the sky detached from the ceiling like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
The semi-transparent creatures, with their fangs bared and claws extended, lunged at the creatures below.
However, they seemed to have been paused, maintaining this ridiculous pose, hanging in the air without any support.
Ever since arriving in this world, Kasha had been striving to survive.
He had saved money to join a special academy, only to be told he lacked the qualifications.
Not to mention, the most bizarre thing Kasha had witnessed was the birth of a companion spirit—unfortunately, the relationship between the companion spirit and him was extremely strained.
The companion spirit, in its quest for freedom, had been trying to kill Kasha, its host, and had even deliberately caused trouble multiple times, nearly killing Kasha while he was working for the “young master.”
Apart from that, although Kasha knew this world was filled with many mysterious powers and stories, they were all out of his reach, until now.
The bizarre world once again unveiled its mysterious face to Kasha.
The saliva of the lurking creature returned to its mouth, the blood splattered from Roel’s torn belly re-entered his body, and the lurking creatures in the air stuck back to the ceiling.
The wolf girl, Lolo, spat out her head from the lurking creature’s mouth and it “glued” back to her body.
Then, her body retreated backward, and Kasha’s torn clothes and the lurking monster returned to their original state.
Kasha retreated to the passage where he had encountered the monster.
He retracted his thrown fist, and the broken bones had already healed.
They walked backward, the iron door automatically opened, and after they exited, it closed automatically again.
Everything reversed with the flow of time.
Until they retreated back to the living room………………Roel glanced at Kasha and Mia, who hadn’t left yet, hesitated for a moment, and then suggested, “How about we stick together? Otherwise, if we get separated, it’s easier to run into danger, don’t you think?”
He felt it would be safer to travel in a group.
“Sure.”
Blonde Mia, with her hair tied into a ponytail using an extremely thin golden thread that outlined a hundred flowers but appeared quite ordinary at first glance, took out a handkerchief from her pocket.
She frowned as she rummaged through her items with the handkerchief, eventually wrapping a walkie-talkie in it and holding it in her hand.
She turned and pushed open the iron door of the mechanical room…………………Mia didn’t notice that Kasha’s pupils had contracted sharply behind her.
Kasha, who had been holding his breath in shock, almost suffocated himself.
He took a deep breath and then coughed violently.
The wolf girl, Lolo, was puzzled why Kasha had suddenly acted this way.
However, after picking up a walkie-talkie, she looked at Kasha and asked, “Let’s go?”
Kasha, in a daze, followed and picked up a walkie-talkie, then followed behind the wolf girl.
He still didn’t understand the situation.
What was going on?
Didn’t the wolf girl have her head bitten off by the lurking creature?
Wasn’t Roel knocked to the ground and torn apart by the monster?
What was that scene of walking backward?
Time reversal?
Could it be Mia’s ability?
At that time, Kasha had seen Mia snap her fingers calmly, and everything changed!
They had returned to a past moment, to the small living room where they were discussing whether to travel together!
Did Roel and Lolo not notice anything unusual?
What about Mia?
If she really did this, did she still have her memory from that time?
Kasha was bewildered, but he guessed that Mia’s memory should still be intact.
Otherwise, Mia would have originally refused to travel with the others, but now she was leading the way!
Why wasn’t he affected?
Why did he still remember the grotesque faces of those monsters, Lolo’s headless corpse……………… Could this be a dream?
As Kasha fell into confusion, Mia walked ahead with a stern expression.
She didn’t notice Kasha’s abnormality at all, or rather, from a very long time ago, she knew that no one would be unaffected by that ability, except for Mia herself!
Mia had long, straight legs and was already quite tall for her age.
Although she was still half a head shorter than the wolf girl, who was close to one meter seventy-five in height, her figure was well-developed, much more voluptuous than her peers, and even the wolf girl couldn’t compare.
At that moment, she walked at the front, her blonde ponytail swaying behind her.
Roel, who followed behind her, was captivated by her elegant gait and stared foolishly.
Kasha was a bit better; having seen many “photoshop frauds” of beautiful girls in his previous life, his resistance was relatively strong.
Moreover, Kasha was currently in a state of disorder, and his gaze subconsciously fell on Lolo and the animal ears on her head.
“Dare to touch and I’ll kill you.”
For some reason, Kasha suddenly felt a familiar sense of emotion, like the long-lost feeling of going to that black internet café with a childhood friend and pressing the power button on the computer, a sour and swelling emotion welled up from the depths of his heart.
Kasha tried to mock inwardly—mind reading?
“It’s not mind reading.”
Indeed, the wolf girl Lolo’s response was exactly the same as the residual memory from before.
He wasn’t dreaming.
This realization brought Kasha joy.
Did this mean that he actually had a special ability that just hadn’t been discovered yet?
If Mia’s ability could truly reverse time, she definitely wouldn’t want others to find out.
Because such an ability was too overpowered.
And precisely because no one knew that there was such a special ability in this world, no one could detect whether he had the potential for this kind of ability?
Kasha was excited.
He wanted to rush up and walk side by side with Mia, and let Mia test whether he really had a similar ability…… But as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Kasha felt a chill.
If Mia knew her ability had been discovered, would she kill him to silence him?
After all, Mia’s ability had reached a level where it could bring disaster upon its possessor!
“No need to be afraid.”
The wolf girl suddenly glanced at Kasha.
Her indifferent golden eyes showed no ripples: “I will protect you.”
Thinking of the wolf girl’s headless corpse that had been bitten off, Kasha doubted whether the wolf girl could really protect him.
“I can really protect you.”
You must be using mind reading.
“It’s really not mind reading.”
The wolf girl’s pupils shrank like a wolf’s, and her expression was very serious.
Kasha decided to empty his mind and stop thinking wildly.
If the wolf girl could really read minds, wouldn’t she also know about Mia’s ability through him?
Kasha secretly observed the wolf girl and let out a quiet sigh of relief when he found no abnormalities.
After walking a few more steps, Kasha silently counted in his mind……Three!
The wolf girl’s steps suddenly halted.
Indeed, Kasha had confirmed it: the reversed future hadn’t changed, except for the addition of Mia.
“What’s wrong?”
Roel, noticing the wolf girl’s pause, asked with a hint of confusion.
“Fresh blood,” the wolf girl and Kasha said in unison.
The wolf girl glanced at Kasha in surprise, to which Kasha blinked and said, “Just a guess………………Isn’t that how it always goes in novels?”
Just as the wolf girl was about to sprint forward, Mia grabbed Lolo by the arm: “Didn’t you say you were going to protect them? What if they get attacked while you’re gone?”
History, in that moment, was altered by Mia’s grip.
