I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 647 - 399 Bride (Part 1)_2
Chapter 647: Chapter 399 Bride (Part 1)_2 Chapter 647: Chapter 399 Bride (Part 1)_2 He could hear the two people talking, using Olay language. Olay language had evolved from a very ancient tongue and had developed several branches.
USA language was derived from Olay language, as one of its branches. However, the USA language branch had become the most widespread.
“Did Berkley go to the restricted area last time? He’s got quite the nerve,” the middle-aged man walking in front said, “He seems to be just a low-level Demonic Exorcist.”
The younger man behind him nodded, “But he didn’t go in alone, he was following the Vice Captain.”
“No wonder. I knew he didn’t have the credentials,” the middle-aged man said.
“Berkley came out quite full of himself,” the young man said with a sour tone, “He claims he had a deep encounter with that lady, he touched that lady’s coffin.”
“He’s full of it,” the middle-aged man said with a smirk, “He couldn’t possibly have touched the coffin. That lady’s coffin is off-limits to anyone, impossible.”
“Why?” the young man asked curiously.
“That lady is not to be trifled with, the last person who touched her coffin, it’s said, instantly attracted at least four crazed strangenesses. The Captain arrived, killed those strangenesses and chased them off, but that person was left with only half a body,” the middle-aged man shrugged.
After a pause, he added, “Don’t listen to Berkley’s nonsense. The place where that lady’s coffin is placed is an area of extreme magnetic chaos and extremely cold air. If he, a low-level Demonic Exorcist, really wanted to get close to the coffin, the most ideal way is to crawl devoutly and pray that the strangenesses do not come near you, and that is still under the close protection and attention of the Vice Captain.”
At this point, the young man looked puzzled and asked, “Rune, if that lady is so terrifying, can this ancient castle really hold her?”
“Of course it can’t,” the middle-aged man named Rune said, “Our Night Moon Demon Hunting Group, pursuant to Claudia IX’s request, bound her along with other middle and high-level strangenesses here, in comfort zones rebuilt according to these stranger’s magnetic flow. You could say that even if they wanted to leave this place, they couldn’t find a more comfortable spot than here anywhere else.”
Hearing this, Yan Junze began to understand. Binding the Corpse Bride here cannot be called imprisonment, but rather, it should be said they are nurturing strangenesses in another way.
No matter the method used, as long as they keep the Corpse Bride from leaving and causing harm to the common folks outside, it is the most advantageous approach.
“Leopold, haven’t you chosen your weapon yet? The practice field will close around eight o’clock tonight. Even if you go now, you’ll be too late,” the middle-aged man named Rune suddenly said.
Yan Junze did not immediately respond until he heard no reply from the young man, then he realized Rune was speaking to him.
“Leopold?” Rune called out again.
“How does he know my name is Leopold?” Yan Junze kept his head down, glancing at the brown, oversized robe he was wearing.
Soon he saw a line of Olay Great Capital script on the left side of the robe, appearing as a continuously stitched name, the strokes exquisitely beautiful, that of the name Leopold.
No wonder Rune could call out the name at once; he had seen the name on the robe.
Yan Junze guessed that there might be the same name somewhere on the back of the robe as well.
He did not answer. Answering would surely give him away, so he directly chose to Rewind, time rewinding to the moment he had just arrived in this room.
The sound of a door shutting rang out; someone had just left the room.
Yan Junze stood up, walked over to the clothes rack, took Leopold’s robe again, and put it on, repeating the same trick. He covered his head with the hood, leaving only a small part of his cheeks showing.
After doing all this, he no longer went to look at the weapons rack for weapons, but instead grabbed a dagger, tested it with Magnetic Force, and red light surrounded the dagger.
He then placed the dagger in the large pocket of the robe and took a Knight’s Sword, strapping it to his waist as he walked out of the room.
Outside the room was a dark corridor, which seemed to be inside Klargon Castle.
Every so often, there were wall lamps lit along the corridor, but the brightness was still low, just enough to illuminate the nearby area.
Yan Junze didn’t see Rune and that young man in the corridor anymore, and to be precise, he now didn’t know where the Corpse Bride was stored.
However, he quickly activated “Strange Event Detection.”
Initially, there was no response, but after seven or eight seconds, lines of mission information started popping into his mind, at least fifteen or sixteen of them.
Yan Junze was somewhat surprised, and after looking at the introductions of these missions, he noticed that even the lowest level ones were “hair-raising.”
He swiftly scanned through the mass of mission information, hardly pausing, quickly finding the mission he was seeking.
[Coordinates confirmed: Southeast Corner Restricted Area of Klargon Castle, at the end of the third floor.]
[Mission Name: I Want Revenge;]
Mission Level: Terrified (High);]
Mission Background: Quintina Scott had all her savings swindled by her fiancé, and moreover, this man also deceived her physically. Enraged, Quintina, using her best cooking skills, did the same to the man and devoured him completely. Afterwards, life held no more meaning for Quintina, and she chose to commit suicide. What she didn’t expect was that her corpse would be fought over by several strangenesses, causing Quintina’s own strangeness to erupt, merging all these strangenesses within her body, becoming one with them. Yes, Quintina had become a fusion of multiple strangenesses;
Mission Description: Quintina suspects that there’s a reason her corpse has been repeatedly seized by other strangenesses—the work of her fiancé, Joseph Peterson, who had turned into a strangeness earlier. She is furious, and perhaps, Joseph should die once more;
Mission Reward: 1900 Different Dimension Energy points;
Mission Punishment: Your magnetic field will be merged by Quintina;
Mission Tips: 1. The evil spirit cannot be locked down; 2. Quintina sometimes becomes hysterical, but that is not her true intention; 3. Avoid direct confrontation with Quintina;
Note: When lifting the coffin lid, please hold your breath.]
This mission information coincided exactly with the data about the “Corpse Bride” that Yan Junze had seen in Vice President Charles’s office, even containing some details that were more specific than the Half Moon Association’s files.
Having read the mission introduction, Yan Junze finally understood where the Corpse Bride, Quintina’s obsession lay. It turns out, she suspected that her corpse’s repeated usage by other strangenesses was the mischief of her fiancé, Joseph, who had died earlier.
As long as this obsession was resolved or if he could help her kill Joseph, who had already caused significant harm, even to ghosts, once more, the hatred in Quintina’s heart could be lifted.
However, from what he had overheard in the conversation between Rune and that young man before the Rewind, and from the mission description, it was clear that this Corpse Bride might not be so easy to communicate with; even the place where her corpse was stored was an area laden with a very heavy chill.
The magnetic fields there were extremely chaotic, which was likely related to the Corpse Bride having merged several strangenesses within her body—the Half Moon Association even referred to this fused state as a Super Container.

Throughout the process of activating Mission Perception and viewing the mission, Yan Junze continued to move. He hadn’t stayed in the corridor after leaving the room, which helped avoid being recognized again by Rune and the other man.
The corridor was narrow and long, and he had encountered other members of the Demon Hunter Group along the way, but Yan Junze simply walked with his head down, his hood covering most of his face and only his lips showing, so the people opposite couldn’t see clearly.
Not just him, Yan Junze noticed that some of the other members also had their hoods pulled up, passing by without a word.
That way, he wouldn’t stand out among the members of the Demon Hunter Group.
He guessed this probably had to do with the development mode of the Night Moon Demon Hunting Group, with some members not necessarily wishing to be fully understood by others, keeping secrets of their own.
After walking through the narrow corridor, he unexpectedly exited the building.
In front of him were two sturdy wooden doors, which Yan Junze pushed open to find himself outside the building, looking up to find a clear, star-studded sky.
This place was the inside of the castle.
