I can rewind time to prevent death

"Old man, you're not looking for the cat anymore?" Cheng Jingtian asked.

To the fat old man, the smile on his face became increasingly unnerving.

"No, no, old man I am optimistic. What's losing a cat in the grand scheme of things?" The fat old man suddenly shook his fan vigorously, "And let me tell you, the old man naturally has a strong voice, I shout and the whole building can hear."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly rose several times louder, buzzing in Cheng Jingtian's ears and stiffening his face, and even outside the stairway corridor, it could be heard clearly.

"Dad, are you in there?" the voice of a middle-aged man came from outside the door at that moment.

Cheng Jingtian stepped aside and opened the door.

The fat old man's expression brightened as he walked out with his fan, saying, "Son, I didn't see Bai, let's look elsewhere."

As he spoke, he shivered and turned his head to glance at the still door curtain behind him.

That position was similar to the layout of his home; it should be the restroom.

After he walked out, Cheng Jingtian closed the door behind him without a word.

"Let's go, downstairs," the fat old man immediately told his son.

The middle-aged man, seeing his father's changed expression, followed with some surprise, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"That young man's house is gloomy; there must be something bad in there, or maybe it's haunted with strangeness," said the fat old man, descending the stairs rapidly while supporting himself on the railing.

"And Bai? Did you see him?" the middle-aged man asked.

The old man shook his head, "He probably slipped out through the window again. Normally, when he smells me, he comes closer, but the room was too dark for me to see clearly."

Inside the room.

Cheng Jingtian stood behind the door, quietly listening to the noises outside.

Not until the sounds of conversation faded away did he turn around and mutter, "Bai?"

As he finished speaking, his gaze turned to the restroom door curtain, and he walked over to lift it.

It was very dark inside; other than the area near the door that had some light, deeper parts were not visible.

Cheng Jingtian spoke slowly, "Come out."

About five seconds later, something in the darkness moved.

Then, a frail figure with stiff footsteps emerged, dressed in a gray long dress, hair cascading down. Her features were mostly rotten, whether it was her face or the skin on her exposed hands and feet, all presenting a dreadful white.

On closer inspection, this whiteness seemed to be coated with a layer of powder, likely from being soaked in a certain white liquid for an extended time, adhering to the skin, and turning into this state after the liquid completely dried.

When walking, the woman's lower limbs didn't bend, remaining rigid, which resulted in her walking posture being extremely creepy.

When she shuffled to Cheng Jingtian's front, the woman stopped. The foul smell from her was faint, with only occasional wafts of strong chemical odor, but it wasn't formaldehyde.

At this moment, Cheng Jingtian noticed the woman's mouth was covered in white fur. He shook his head, resigned, cleaned the fur from her mouth, and said, "I only went out for a moment, and you've already swallowed a cat whole. If I were gone for half a day, you might just swallow a person whole."

He turned around and walked to the computer, nudging the mouse, causing all of the computer screens to light up. Then, Cheng Jingting turned on the lamps on both sides of the desktop, illuminating the area around him.

After sitting down, he said to the screen, "To all the students, today I'm delivering a benefit. I will personally explain how to raise spirits and the precautions one should take."

At the bottom of the encrypted channel, it showed that a total of 32 channels were connected, meaning that at least 32 people on the other end were paying to watch.

"Come over." Cheng Jingting finished saying this and then turned his head to give an order.

The woman's corpse in a gray skirt moved a few steps forward with rigid limbs, coming into the light.

Immediately, numerous text dialogue boxes appeared on the computer screen, sent by people watching from different locations at the same time.

Of course, all the chats were anonymous.

"This female corpse is so well-preserved!"

"Young Master Cheng, how much sodium ammonia solution did you use? It seems like some areas were not covered and have started to rot."

"I bet she was absolutely beautiful when she was alive."

"She still looks good now..."

Cheng Jingting smiled, "Don't have such a morbid taste. My conditions here are insufficient. If you have the means, you can mix sodium ammonia with water at a ratio of 1:100, soak the corpse for about a week, then you can retrieve it. This can prevent the body from rotting and the skin will be as tender as a puff."

"Can it be like a living person?" someone asked, adding an emoji with stars in the eyes.

"Of course not, all the internal organs are rotten," Cheng Jingting shook his head, "But as long as the corpse is well preserved, it may not be exposed for a short time if it stays among the living."

"The face of this one is so decayed, it definitely won't work," remarked one participant.

"Of course, it won't work, I just said my conditions here are not sufficient," Cheng Jingting said, "I only applied a coating of sodium ammonia solution to her body."

"Can raising spirits in this way be similar to ordinary strangenesses that can turn invisible, pass through walls, perform Spirit-Splitting, and intervene?" another asked. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

"Yes and no," Cheng Jingting smiled mysteriously, "I'll teach you a method.

If you're raising other strangenesses around you, try to make this corpse consume that strangeness, what is commonly called 'Evil Spirit-eating.' There is a chance this corpse will become somewhat like a 'Semi-spirit,' similar to what the Exorcists call a 'Fake Spirit Body,' but you need a living person for a 'Fake Spirit Body.'"

At this point, Cheng Jingting leaned closer to the camera, his smile looking eerie as he said, word by word, "This type of corpse, we insiders call 'Corpse Spirits,' very horrifying. If you don't adjust it correctly while making it consume a spirit and fail to make it recognize you as its master, then you're in for bad luck!"

As he finished speaking, he moved back from the camera and continued to explain the steps and methods of raising spirits. Occasionally, he interacted and answered questions from the audience live.

About fifty minutes later, Cheng Jingting concluded, "This is just the most common method of raising spirits. Last time, I mentioned raising spirits inside the body. What was that guy's name? Oh, Lv Xin, who had no choice but to try it out. I want to remind you again, do not attempt anything before you fully understand it! That poor guy was a pity, had a special constitution even better than mine..."

After shutting down the encrypted channel, Cheng Jingting, without turning his head, said, "Go back."

The woman's corpse in the gray skirt stiffly turned around and walked in the direction of the restroom. Shortly after entering behind the curtain, there was no further movement.

Cheng Jingting switched to a regular channel, entered his chat room to take a look. He did not start a video link but browsed through some of the conversations of the netizens before exiting the chat room and entered the "Open Your Eyes" homepage.

Before long, his gaze settled on a highly-clicked video. It was uploaded by a college student; this fellow had uploaded two videos, but none had as many clicks as this one.

Minutes later, as Cheng Jingting watched the corridor scene presented in the video, his gaze sharpened after seeing a person passing by, and he blurted out, "A night-wandering... puppy?"
