I can rewind time to prevent death

On the fifth day of early morning, while still in the dreams, Yan Junze was woken up by the ringing of the telephone. It was Wan Shouguang calling, instructing him to immediately go to the headquarters' laboratory.

Without a word, Yan Junze got up, freshened up, and immediately hailed a taxi to rush over.

Upon reaching the negative second floor, he reported his name and the security quickly led him to the laboratory.

At that time, Zhang Chengjing was also there, standing together with Wan Shouguang, while Shi Yanan was on the other side rolling a spherical object on some unknown device with her index finger.

In front of this device was a large transparent glass box, within which sliding rods moved against each other under Shi Yanan's manipulation, assembling a black instrument.

Yan Junze walked over to have a look and realized that it was the Black Spirit Umbrella being assembled.

The basic framework had already been built, and the umbrella surface was lying aside, waiting for all the small components to be affixed before the umbrella surface would be fitted.

Wan Shouguang waved Yan Junze over, and once he was close, said, "All the data has been adjusted and passed. These exterior fittings were processed overnight during the past few days according to the adjusted data, ensuring one hundred percent precision."

Zhang Chengjing took over the conversation, "Once the final umbrella is produced, you'll need to fuse the strangeness from the Turquoise, your shadow strangeness, and the black pearl on the mallet together according to the proportion of the three energies. Get ready!"

Yan Junze nodded, glanced at Shi Yanan who was intently controlling the sliding rods, and without making any sound, he reached into his crotch and soon pulled out the Black Spirit Mallet.

Holding it in both hands, he seemed somewhat reluctant to let go.

About half an hour later, the entire umbrella surface was also affixed to the frame, emitting a sizzling electromagnetic noise, and soon it was all set.

The giant glass box opened, and the pitch-black umbrella was taken out by Wan Shouguang.

Wan Shouguang tested it, pressing a button on the handle of the umbrella, and with a swoosh, the umbrella surface opened up, revealing inside a white alloy frame with a gold sheen, perfectly propping up the high-polymer umbrella surface into an arch shape.

With the umbrella surface opened, it was quite large; if squeezed a bit, it could cover three people without any problem.

Yan Junze looked at the position of the umbrella handle, and from bottom to top, Wan Shouguang had pre-arranged several embedding points for the Black Spirit Pearl—not just three but ten, spiraling up the handle.

Because it was designed in advance, the addition of the three types of energy was easiest for the Black Spirit Pearl.

The mallet was placed into the glass box from before, Shi Yanan controlled a mechanical arm to remove the three implanted Black Spirit Pearls, and then handed them over.

Wan Shouguang took them and asked Yan Junze to observe carefully. He picked up a Black Spirit Pearl and pressed it sharply into one of the embedding points on the umbrella handle with a click, and the pearl was directly inlaid.

Grasping the second one, he followed the same procedure.

Wan Shouguang said, "I've set a reverse lock inside. Once pressed in, without the special means of this laboratory, the pearl can't be taken out."

In a moment, all three pearls were inserted into the handle of the umbrella.

Yan Junze took the Black Spirit Umbrella, feeling its weight but gradually getting accustomed to it after holding it for a while.

He pressed the button on the umbrella handle indicated by Wan Shouguang, and the previously opened Black Spirit Umbrella snapped shut with a swoosh. Holding the button down, the tip of the umbrella shrank to half its size in the middle, and in a rattle, the entire umbrella shrunk to half its original size in an instant.

Indeed, this made it much more portable.

Wan Shouguang said, "The umbrella surface can also be tightened. It uses a magnetic clasp that activates when you press the very end of the umbrella handle with your thumb."

Yan Junze did as instructed and pressed it, causing a magnetic strip to slide out from a small opening in the umbrella surface, automatically rolling up the entire surface and securely sticking it in place.

Zhang Chengjing took the umbrella from Yan Junze and instructed, "Give me the Turquoise. I'll neutralize these three forces within the umbrella here in this isolation chamber."

Yan Junze was taken aback, "Isn't there no moonlight? Without Fang Ning appearing, Uncle Zhang, how can you neutralize it?"
