I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 176 Membership Review (Please subscribe, ask for recommendations)

The tableful of food vanished like a whirlwind, cleaned out by four people.

Yan Junze and Xie Hua ate the least, while the chubby He Bishou and Zhao Zheng both ate a lot, with Zhao Zheng having a strong build and naturally a big appetite, and He Bishou not wanting to be outdone—most of the large plate of pork knuckle had been taken care of by him alone.

Contrary to Yan Junze's expectations, he originally thought that he wouldn't eat much, but Xie Hua quickly put down her chopsticks with an air of delicacy, claiming she couldn't be bothered to reapply her lipstick later.

Three of them took notice that even after eating for a while, Huahua really was very careful and hadn't disturbed the shiny color on her lips.

After putting down his chopsticks, Yan Junze said he wanted to stroll around.

Zhao Zheng was heading to the sports field to play basketball for a while, He Bishou was thinking about the anime book he had just bought and hadn't had time to read yet in his dormitory, and Huahua was going to pick up a parcel. Continue your adventure at empire

Everyone was puzzled, considering the guy had just reported to school yesterday, and his parcels had arrived like a shadow, it seemed another shopping addict had arrived, and a very effeminate one at that.

The four of them left the restaurant and went their separate ways, with Yan Junze wandering around the streets for a while.

Ever since leaving Shuntian City and arriving at Tianmeng Science University, he felt a comfortable sense of leisure as if he had returned to his life on campus in his previous life.

Being able to experience this feeling twice in life, no matter what, was already a win.

After walking through the neighboring streets, Yan Junze returned and walked into a clinic near the back door of the college.

This clinic was a suite, with the outer room serving as the outpatient area, responsible for dispensing medication, injections, and intravenous drips, with a few beds in the inner room for patients who needed to lie down for their drips.

In the medicine cabinet outside the clinic, there was a pharmaceutical freezer.

After entering, Yan Junze smiled and said to a woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with fair skin and wearing a white lab coat, "Doctor Ning, I've come to collect my things."

This female doctor, with a sweet smile, was named Ning Shanshan. At a young age, she had opened a clinic outside the college. The clinic had an intern doctor and two nurses.

"Oh, okay, just wait."

On seeing Yan Junze, Ning Shanshan's face lit up with a smile. She nodded at him, turned around, opened the pharmaceutical freezer behind her, and took out a black plastic bag from the innermost part of the bottom freezer drawer.

"How many bags do you want?" Ning Shanshan asked.

"Two bags."

In no time, Ning Shanshan took out two bags of blood and handed them to Yan Junze.

Yan Junze took them and expressed his thanks, "I'll come back the day after tomorrow."

"Cooking animal blood curd every other day, is this your special dietary preference?" Ning Shanshan looked at Yan Junze's slightly pale face, seemingly curious.

She couldn't help but ask out of her professional medical concern.

Yan Junze shook his head. After coming to the college, he had thought of this way to maintain the freshness of the blood. He searched for a clinic with a pharmaceutical freezer to store the animal blood he bought.

The reason he gave was that he had always liked eating blood curd and considered it a special preference, but was afraid that what was available outside wasn't clean, so he would regularly cook it himself.

Yan Junze gave Ning Shanshan some money to use the freezer to store his blood.

Every time he wanted to eat, he would come over beforehand to take it back to his dormitory and discreetly cook on a small stove.

Leaving blood bags in the school was never a good idea.

Ning Shanshan's clinic had high overhead costs every month. Although she knew that what she was doing was not quite right, the fact that she was getting paid and that it was his private affair—nothing really strange about it—made her want to help out. Besides, it was just storing something, so she had simply made some space for him in the pharmaceutical freezer.

This freezer, used exclusively for storing medicine and subjected to special disinfection treatments, made Yan Junze feel much more at ease than if it were stored in a random small shop or restaurant freezer.

This also indirectly showed that although Yan Junze had a special little quirk when it came to food, he also cared about hygiene.

However, deceiving Ning Shanshan made Yan Junze feel rather guilty.

After placing the two bags of blood in his pocket, Yan Junze bid farewell to Ning Shanshan and left the clinic.

He didn't head straight back to school but walked to the extending wall outside the back gate of the school. He had scouted the area earlier; there were no surveillance cameras here.

He bit open the blood bag, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and tossed the empty bag into the trash.

Drinking in such a sneaky manner was really unsatisfying. Yan Junze felt that in the future, he would need to repackage the blood bags, perhaps to look like tomato juice or sour plum drink.

That way, when he took them out, he could drink without restraint, even in front of a crowd.

Over the next three days, as new students continued to arrive for registration, the dormitory was filled with unfamiliar faces carrying their luggage.

With the end of registration, the returning students also began to trickle back to school.

All the new students participated in the large classes organized by the college. Yan Junze was assigned to the Class 2 of the Physics Department, Grade 19; Zhao Zheng and Huahua were in Class 1; He Bishou and Yan Junze were both in Class 2.

Zhao Zheng was speechless about being in the same class with Huahua once again. When the two of them went to class together, Zhao Zheng always chose to leave at different times, not daring to walk with Huahua.

During these few days, as long as Huahua had free time, he would immediately start sharing his knowledge on beauty, dressing, and makeup. He claimed to have opened a class on "Tremble," the most famous short video platform in the Great Capital, with a fan count not far behind Yan Junze's on the strangeness platform.

Of course, these people did not associate the "Night Traveling Puppy" with Yan Junze himself.

It's just that sometimes Huahua would look at Yan Junze with a strange gleam in his eye, as if pondering something.

Yan Junze wasn't too concerned about it. As long as Huahua didn't fall in "love" with him, everything else was negotiable.

After attending classes for two formal days, Yan Junze ran into Yang Yang after eating dinner in the cafeteria on the third day.

It seemed that Yang Yang had come looking for him on purpose.

"Have you eaten?"

"Yeah," Yan Junze nodded, "Is there something wrong?"

Yang Yang said, "Look at your memory. Didn't I introduce you to join the Strange Club? The initiation ceremony is tonight, at 8 p.m. sharp in the 207 Activity Room on the second floor of the library. It's only for you. Remember, it's open only to you."

Yan Junze was momentarily stunned.

It's just an introductory club for researching strangenesses, yet it's being made out to be so secretive that anyone unaware might think they were about to join some international organization with a world-shaking secret.

After a trip back to the dormitory, Yan Junze headed to the library as it was nearing 8 p.m.

The library of Tianmeng Science University was huge, with corridors outside the library being two to three times wider than ordinary corridors. The book rooms were above the third floor, while the second floor and below housed several independent activity rooms.

Normally, these were used to conduct reading clubs and book fan meetings, but the Student Union would also typically choose these rooms for organizing various activities.

It was evident that although Yan Junze had arrived early, everyone else was already there.

The moment he entered the activity room, Yan Junze's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked surprised as if he had remembered something, taking about four or five seconds to react before shaking his head and walking in.

Nine people, ten chairs placed together, with one empty chair clearly left for Yan Junze.

Yan Junze glanced around; among these people, there were two girls, but he only recognized Yang Yang, the rest were strangers.

"Take a seat, we've just arrived," said a man with thick glasses and a crew cut, pointing at the empty chair.

Yan Junze went over and sat down.

Yang Yang had mentioned that the story he told had to make at least three people feel fear for it to count. He looked at the nine people seated; there were only two women among them.

Indeed, it was tricky. Women typically have smaller courage, and even if they felt fear, there were only two women present, which wasn't enough. So he had to make at least one of the men feel fear as well, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty.

Thinking this, Yan Junze looked at the two women.

Yang Yang seemed to have understood his intention and suddenly started laughing, with the others joining in the laughter.

Yan Junze was perplexed, looking toward Yang Yang.

Yang Yang soon stopped laughing and pointed at the two women, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Ying, and this is Liao Jing. They also have two nicknames—Zhang Ying is known as Lady Yama, and Liao Jing is called Mother Rakshasa."
