I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 648 - 400 Bride (Part 2)

Chapter 648: Chapter 400 Bride (Part 2) Chapter 648: Chapter 400 Bride (Part 2) “Southeast Corner Restricted Area?”

Yan Junze muttered under his breath, eyeing the position of the moon to carefully identify where the southeast corner lay.

He then glanced at a densely forested area that usually faced south. After a series of confirmations, Yan Junze saw a slightly shorter building in the southeast direction.

However, that building was connected to the main structure of the castle, with a solid wall in between. The wall’s upper end was broad enough to allow two people to walk side by side.

Had it been wartime, there would surely have been pairs of soldiers patrolling atop the wall by now.

But there was no war currently, and even if there were a need to defend against enemies, the defenders wouldn’t be ordinary people.

Because the place “detained” strangenesses, it would only be guarded against them; under normal circumstances, no one would think that humans would covet the strangenesses contained within.

Of course, that did not mean the Night Moon Demon Hunting Group hadn’t considered the prospect of invasion. In fact, the defenses outside the castle were strict, with three layers of identity scanning and registration checks alone.

The periphery of the castle was covered one hundred percent by magnetic field scanning, including both humans and strangenesses. Any presence within the range of the magnetic scan would cause fluctuations in the magnetic field. Any abnormal fluctuation would be immediately detected and monitored by the magnetic field surveillance center.

The Night Moon Demon Hunting Group would have never dreamed that someone like Yan Junze could appear directly inside the castle.

Moreover, once his mission was completed, Yan Junze would vanish from within the castle just as directly.

The true meaning of being completely undetectable.

Approaching the building in the southeast corner, Yan Junze’s pupils constricted. He noticed a member of the Demon Hunter Group standing there, pacing back and forth around the entrance.

That person was also dressed in a brown robe, without a hood, and carried a Knight’s Sword at the waist.

Because the Knight’s Sword was long, its tip almost scraped the ground as the guard moved about.

Yan Junze was about the same height as the guard, and the Knight’s Sword he carried at his waist was likewise.

It seemed that this fellow wasn’t just passing by, but was specifically stationed in front of this door.

What to do?

Yan Junze didn’t approach but lurked in the shadow of the trees to conceal most of his body as he quietly observed if there were any other routes into the building before him.

After a long look, he confirmed that this was the only normal entrance to the building. Unless he grew wings to fly from another direction onto the wall connected to the main building and enter from there, his only option was to go through the door before him.

It couldn’t be helped. Having had ample experience with infiltrating behind enemy lines before, Yan Junze adjusted the brown robe he wore, pulling the hood’s brim further down to ensure that the guard could not see his true face at first glance.

Then, mimicking the guard at the door, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the Knight’s Sword at his waist and leisurely stepped out, heading towards the entrance.

The guard pacing near the door heard the footsteps and lifted his head slightly, staying silent for a moment, merely eyeing Yan Junze until he drew close. Then he spoke up, “What do you need?”

“The deputy commander has ordered me to retrieve some items from the first floor,” Yan Junze deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound muffled and hoarse, to mask his slight accent in the Olay language.

He purposefully mentioned retrieving something only from the first floor to convey that he would not be going up to the third floor, because that was where the Corpse Bride’s coffin was kept—a strictly forbidden area.

It wasn’t about access being prohibited, but rather it was for the Demon Hunters’ own good, with a forced mandate not to go up, lest they end up dead there.

The guard didn’t immediately notice anything off about Yan Junze’s accent and tilted his head slightly, signaling confusion: “Retrieve something? What item?”

Yan Junze replied, “A personal belonging of the deputy commander. He had entered this structure previously and accidentally left it on the first floor. He only remembered it tonight.”

He had overheard from Rune and the others about that Berkley fellow boasting that he recently had accompanied the deputy commander into this building, so claiming that it was the deputy commander’s misplaced item at least lent some credibility to his story.

Actually, the ones guarding outside aren’t authorized to enter the Restricted Area. Despite this guard standing here, he had never actually been inside.

Even if Yan Junze said that the deputy commander left himself in there, the guard had no way to verify that. When it came to guarding the Restricted Area, whatever guard that came to watch felt a bit of trepidation.

Even if they were to be allowed inside, they wouldn’t go in.

Of course, just letting someone in like that was impossible. After a brief hesitation, the guard said, “Since the deputy commander has ordered it, recite tonight’s passcode, and I will let you in. Otherwise, I’ll report directly to Plit.”

Yan Junze sighed inwardly knowing that he wasn’t planning to get past this point without difficulty, so he had been ready to use Rewind. But before doing that, he wanted to gather as much information as possible to make the next attempt more successful.

His gaze shifted to the left side of the man’s clothing, but it was too dark to make out the name embroidered on the robe.

Rewind!

Yan Junze stepped out from beneath the tree’s shadow again and approached the guard.

Just as the guard was about to speak, Yan Junze repeated his earlier tactic, speaking in a hoarse, indistinct tone of shock, “Isn’t Rune supposed to be on duty tonight? Why is it you?”
