I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 640 - 397 Special Strangenesses
Chapter 640: Chapter 397: Special Strangenesses Chapter 640: Chapter 397: Special Strangenesses While the two were conversing, Yan Junze thought of another possibility – since the President opposed initiating the ritual altar, could he find the President and have him come forward to cancel all preparations for it.
However, the moment he considered this idea, he knew it was naively optimistic, and in reality, it was practically a dream.
The reason being that the President of the Half Moon Association held such an esteemed position that he didn’t even know Junze; for what reason could he possibly gain the President’s trust?
It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by just one or two Rewinds, and besides, that would mean traveling through time again, needing even more Different Dimension Energy.
With time being of the essence, he couldn’t possibly choose to go back, gather more energy, and then return to figure out a solution.
And even if Junze had incredible abilities to earn the President’s trust, whether the President could overturn the Elder Council’s decision was still a question mark.
In Junze’s view, today’s meeting seemed like the Half Moon Association’s President was making a final struggle by calling others to the meeting. But as someone who had been through this before, he knew that the struggle would still be in vain; the altar would still be activated and the world would still fall into crisis from the Possession Spirit.
Abandoning the thought of convincing the President, since he had already come, Yan Junze decided to focus on stealing the Book of Oath – whether he could succeed would be a question for later.
Vice President Charles and Assam talked for perhaps half an hour, and it seemed that Assam had no intention of attending the meeting hosted by the President, as he was sipping red wine during their conversation.
Then the two of them stepped out, closing the door behind them, both silent as if nothing had happened.
Yan Junze still didn’t move, leaning on the side of the bookshelf and waiting a few minutes until he was sure everything had returned to normal before crouching behind the upholstered sofa, then pausing again.
With no other sound, he slowly stood up and looked around the room.
He wasn’t concerned about the presence of cameras; if there were any, Charles and Assam wouldn’t have discussed secrets so freely and confidently before.
Everything here was clearer to those men than to himself.
There were two doors leading out of the room: one near the burning fireplace and the other nearer to him.
Not knowing the situation outside, but if the room storing the Book of Oath was next door, Junze didn’t believe it was next to the fireplace side.
Since they had gone out from this side, it was very likely the next room on this side.

Approaching the door on his side, he gently pressed down on the doorknob, pulling at the door, which opened.
He cracked open the door slightly and peeked through the gap, looking out into a hallway with rooms across from it.
Because he had directly arrived in the room, he didn’t know what place this was or what the structure of the house was like.
Maintaining the cracked door, he saw no one moving in the hallway.
Yan Junze tried to open the door wider, slowly sticking his head out, and then looked at both ends of the hallway.
No one was there.
Taking a deep breath, he walked out the door.
He quickly approached the next room’s doorway, looking left and right, noticing a camera in the middle of the hallway pointed in this direction, but with no choice, regardless of whether the surveillance staff had seen him or not, he had to try.
Standing in front of this next door, he twisted the doorknob, and to his surprise, the door opened easily.
Yan Junze was startled and quickly entered the door.
Whether or not he was exposed to the outdoor camera was a problem that could be resolved with just a Rewind, so even if someone were rushing over from the outside now, he wouldn’t be too flustered.
His time was limited, Yan Junze needed to understand the environment of this place and figure out why Assam felt so secure here.
Otherwise, he saw no better option to manage this situation.
Strictly speaking, this room was only half a room, as the other half was blocked by a metallic door and wall.
This metal door featured a bank vault-like security design, sturdy with protections against theft, fire, destruction, and explosion, requiring a complicated opening procedure that needed at least two people to complete.
Seeing this setup, Yan Junze’s heart chilled; using conventional methods, it was simply impossible to get in.
Already, footsteps were echoing in the hallway outside, likely because he was spotted by the camera, and people might be on their way.
However, Junze’s attention shifted to a notice board placed beside the metal door, absorbing his focus. He took no precautions against the people drawing closer, but quickly walked to the sign, reading the English at the fastest pace he had ever managed.

Yan Junze saw an iris scanning system next to the metal door. At this moment, the door behind him was being opened from the outside; he had no time to read the remaining text.
