I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 644 - 398 Space-Time Positioning_2
Chapter 644: Chapter 398 Space-Time Positioning_2 Chapter 644: Chapter 398 Space-Time Positioning_2 Feature: Jacob is immune to all known forms of physical damage and even attacks from strangenesses, meaning, as an exorcist, you are utterly unable to harm him.
Danger Level: S-rank; the anomaly can create S-rank anomalous events.
Note 1: As the anomaly is immune to all attacks and no similar anomalies can be found, it is irreplaceable.
Note 2: Jacob, a being close to that of a god, is absolutely unique.]
In fact, while Yan Junze was still reading “Note 2,” a cold male voice had already come from in front of the desk where he was sitting.
“Have you had your fill? If so, put down my stuff, get your ass off my chair, and stand up slowly with your hands raised.”
Yan Junze did not look up; he had already heard the voice very clearly; it was Vice President David Charles speaking.
Without any other motion, Yan Junze followed his instructions, raising his hands and slowly standing up.
“Vice President Charles, who came up with the lousy idea to activate the altar?”
In his hand, Charles held a somewhat oddly-shaped handgun, aimed directly at Yan Junze.
Upon hearing Yan Junze speak, he was slightly taken aback but then chuckled, “Someone from Huaying Great Capital? Who do you work for? The president? Or the exorcist organization of Huaying?”
He then shook his head, “A Huaying face is too easily recognized; the president wouldn’t be foolish enough to hire you to work for him.”
Yan Junze ignored his speculation and spoke again, “This idea to open the altar wasn’t yours. Who was it then? Reaper Morrison? Or the entire Elder Council? Or someone outside the association?”
He kept talking, his gaze fixed on Charles’s face, trying to discern any subtle expressions.
“Seems like… none of the above!” Yan Junze shook his head while speaking.
Charles’s face was always adorned with a faint, cold smile, his expression unchanging, and he tilted his weird handgun upward, “Lie down on the ground, hands behind your back.”
Yan Junze made no movement; he remembered the news he had heard from Zhang Chengjing before the Great Rewind—how a Reaper from USA Great Capital had been killed by a powerful Possession Spirit while pursuing it.
And there were other exorcists with the Reaper, and since the Reaper had been killed, it indicated that the other exorcist’s power was probably even stronger.
He suddenly asked, “If it’s not the Reaper, and not the direction of some outsider, could it be that individual who’s more formidable than the Reaper?”
At this, Charles’s expression faltered for a fraction of a second before instantly returning to normal.
Yan Junze knew he was onto something, although he could not yet imagine who could possibly be more formidable than the Reaper. His knowledge was limited to the scant information he had previously gathered from Zhang Chengjing.
Previously, he had lacked the clearance to enter the last door of the Exorcist Brigade’s data vault, and it so happened that those data concerned the Reaper and what lay beyond the Reaper, as well as the information regarding Ethereal spirits that transcended strangenesses.
Since there was an almost imperceptible change in Charles’s expression, it meant that his conjecture was somewhat credible.
The one wishing to initiate the altar must be someone more formidable than the Reaper, an existence that he currently had no way to reach.
Having learned enough information, Yan Junze did not continue to follow Charles’s instruction to lie down but instead chose to Rewind.
Time rolled back to when he hid in that room with the fireplace, leaning against a bookshelf, and then Yan Junze activated the return command and instantly disappeared.
In this timeline, it was as if he had never arrived.
Standing in the Void,
Yan Junze slowly exhaled and briefly sorted through the information he had just obtained in his mind.
Now it seemed that attempting to tamper with the Book of Oath was the most impossible task as the object was under strict guard, whether at the Olay Great Capital Museum or the Half-Moon Exorcism Association’s warehouse.
He had no way in.
However, on second thought, what he was best at was exorcism, especially Buddhist-style exorcism. If he could eliminate those three irreplaceable strangenesses in advance, the Half Moon Association wouldn’t have a leg to stand on!
The Corpse Bride and deformed Alabell were irreplaceable and even if replacements could be found, they might not be as perfectly suitable as these two.
If he could eliminate both of them in advance, it was certain that the altar could not be initiated for a short period.
Later, he could report the situation with the altar to the Huaying Great Capital Exorcist Brigade; with Zhang Chengjing’s help, they could covertly intervene, and the altar might never be initiated again.
At present, this seemed to be the only viable strategy.
At least, the Corpse Bride and deformed Alabell, though terrifying, clearly nursed Obsessions. As long as there were Obsessions, it would be easier to handle them. And even if he truly couldn’t exorcise them peacefully, he still had the powerful Black Spirit Umbrella as a fallback.
Now the only concern was whether he would have enough energy left after returning to those two points in time.
Yan Junze planned to first return to Klargon Castle in Pickley County, Olay Great Capital, which was under the surveillance of Olay Great Capital’s Night Moon Demon Hunting Group.
There might be more than one monster in the castle, but the Corpse Bride was certainly a unique being there and should be easy to find.

Even if he just eliminated the irreplaceable Corpse Bride and lacked the energy to also get rid of the deformed Alabell, the trip would still be worthwhile.
