His ability to rewind memories allowed Luo Bin to notice other things that had appeared within his field of vision.

He was exceptionally alert.

Whatever was watching them moved fast enough to vanish without a trace even when Mo Qian looked up.

He was not necessarily faster than Mo Qian. Trying to catch that thing with his eyes by outpacing it would be difficult. So although Luo Bin appeared to be looking at the temple entrance, he was actually trying to take in as much as possible.

In his peripheral vision, the shadow on the ground was still there.

He could make out part of the rafters out of the corner of his eye.

Luo Bin kept facing the Mountain God Temple's entrance, but his memory began to rewind.

The flickering bonfire. The distinct shadow between him and Mo Qian.

There was indeed something crouching on the beam...

It was a person.

But he had reached the limits of his peripheral vision. Luo Bin could see only half its body. To see more, he would have to take a few steps back and widen his field of view.

As he thought, he replayed that memory again.

It had become instinctive for Luo Bin. Lately, whenever he used Rewind, he watched the same stretch of memory several times.

Suddenly, Luo Bin noticed something wrong.

The shoes beneath the Mountain God Temple's doors were gone...

Had the evil spirit left?

His pupils contracted slightly, and waves of cold washed through his heart.

This wasn't right...

The evil spirit hadn't left that night, had it?

Why would it leave?
