Chapter 2: I Can Rewind!

```

This atlas appeared in Yan Junze's mind almost simultaneously with the sight of the little girl in red,

but at that moment, Yan Junze was completely immersed in his visual senses and the terrifying atmosphere, so he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Now lying in bed, he finally had the chance to see what was going on.

The atlas wasn't a tangible figure but an entirely illusory object, existing only in his mind. Yan Junze waved his hand in front of his eyes, and indeed, there was nothing.

In the atlas, many thread-like veins appeared, each linked to another by nodes; currently, only one node at the very bottom lit up, while the rest were a dim hue.

"This is..."

Yan Junze felt the object was incredibly familiar, as if he remembered something, and was suddenly startled.

Before the last life's laboratory explosion, the space-time collapse experiment was dependent on a kind of quantum spectrum, also known as the Spacetime Atlas. And these nodes were the quantum convergence points that needed to be conquered in the experiment, also called energy accumulation zones, formed by the convergence of some kind of energy that couldn't be fully mastered. Eventually, node-to-node transfers connected the entire atlas, allowing time to undergo an orderly transformation. (Er, this part can be skipped!)

That's what is commonly known as "Space-Time Travel."

However, Yan Junze thought that the experiment had not succeeded, but now this atlas existed in his own mind, and it was very complete. Did that mean the experiment had actually succeeded but only manifested in this way, using him as a carrier?

In the previous life's experiment, Yan Junze was just an ordinary assistant in the laboratory and not a developer. However, after the laboratory explosion, which was of great magnitude, both the developers and assistants were affected, and he was likely wiped out in one fell swoop.

While puzzled, Yan Junze was again shaken; after he paid attention to this atlas, it obviously changed, with lines of text flashing into existence.

[Spacetime Atlas construction complete, detecting Different Dimension Energy as well as a complete Dimensional Space Transverse Wave Band, analyzing the wave band...]

[Analysis successful, translating...]

[Translation successful, the wave band is known in this world as "Obsession," a "Task" has been established based on the complete wave band values, display task?]

Though only an assistant, Yan Junze still had a certain understanding of the Spacetime Atlas. The atlas was highly intelligent, and from the beginning, it was endowed with the ability to analyze intelligently and construct illusory space-time.

Now it seemed the Spacetime Atlas had detected Different Dimension Energy emitted from the strangeness, and based on "Obsession," it analyzed the wave band values to form the so-called "Task."

Yan Junze guessed that if he wanted to acquire this part of Different Dimension Energy for the Spacetime Atlas's use, he would have to complete the "Task" formed based on "Obsession."

But what this task was...

"Display it," Yan Junze hesitated slightly, the thought forming in his mind.

The next moment, another text passage appeared in his mind.

[Task Name: Hair Washing;

Task Level: Anxiety-Inducing (Low);

Task Background: March 7th is Ke'er's birthday. The beautiful and clean-loving Ke'er's favorite color is red. On that day, her mother dressed her in a newly bought red dress and promised to take her to the amusement park. However, a ruthless truck forever separated them. After the accident, Ke'er's hair became very dirty, so dirty. The cleanliness-loving Ke'er hated her filthy long hair, so she always longed to wash it, even if just seeing someone else wash their hair would satisfy her;

Task Explanation: Wash your hair in the bathroom at home after midnight for at least three minutes, without engaging in any unrelated activities;

Task Reward: 100 points of Different Dimension Energy;

Task Penalty: Unknown;

Task Hint: 1, The evil spirit cannot be locked down; 2, Completing the task may form a stable Rewind line;

Note: You wash your hair, she watches.]

Gazing at the task before him, Yan Junze was momentarily stunned.

The Spacetime Atlas released the task based on the captured wave band of Obsession, which was clearly from the little girl in red Yan Junze had just seen.

He hadn't expected the Spacetime Atlas to capture this so-called Different Dimension Energy in the form of task completion.

Given the atlas's intelligence, capturing energy and shaping Obsession into tasks to gain energy, the cause and effect seemed to be interlinked.

Before triggering the Spacetime Atlas, Yan Junze wouldn't dare to think about engaging with strange events, but now it was different.

If the Spacetime Atlas could absorb enough Different Dimension Energy to light up the entire atlas, perhaps he could freely switch through space-time and return to before the laboratory's explosion in Hua Country on Earth.

To acquire more energy, the only way was to complete tasks.

It must be said, the mode of completing tasks was somewhat eerie and unsettling.

In this world, not to mention everyone, but at least a good number of people are wary of washing their hair alone in the bathroom.

Because after applying shampoo to the hair, to avoid getting it in the eyes, eyes are usually closed, and at that moment, some faint-hearted individuals always get a hair-raising feeling, wondering if someone is standing behind them.

This chilling sensation persists until the end of the hair washing.

Yan Junze usually didn't harbor these thoughts, but he too had experienced them, especially just after watching a horror movie alone in the bathroom. His body would involuntarily tighten up, his head filled with images from the horror movie, plus a bit of his own imagination, causing him to involuntarily look behind him during the hair washing process.
