I can rewind time to prevent death

After hearing the words "Half Moon Association," a flood of memories surged into Yan Junze's mind.

He remembered that just when he had checked in at Tianmeng Science University, he had heard Mark, the president of the Strangeness Association, and his next-door roommate, Yang Yang, mention it.

The Half Moon Association's full name was "Half-Moon Exorcism Association," and it was currently the largest exorcist organization in the Great Capital of USA. Similar to the exorcist teams in the Great Capital of Huaying.

The organization was in close contact with the US officials, and it was even possible that some official personnel were part of the association itself.

Last time, when handling the "Spirit" case, it came down to controlling Zhao Qi in the end. Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo, among others, were ambushed by a foreigner with his subordinates. If it hadn't been for Xiang Er's timely arrival, who beat the foreigner so badly even his mother wouldn't recognize him, Zhao Qi would have been captured, and even Yan Junze and the others might have been in mortal danger.

Afterward, the exorcist team took the foreigner, who was in a coma, into custody. According to Zhang Xiaomo, after checking that person, it was confirmed he was from the Great Capital of USA, but all the identity information that got him into Huaying Great Capital was forged.

To this day, that guy was still being detained by the security bureau for illegal entry, carrying items endangering public safety, and violating regulations related to the illegal resolution of strangenesses.

According to Zhang Xiaomo and other Tianmeng exorcists, this man likely came from the Half Moon Association.

Considering all the exorcist organizations in the Great Capital of USA, only the Half Moon Association had the strongest capabilities and more novel equipment. Even if the captured individual did not admit to being part of the organization, he was at least acting under the cover instructions of the Half Moon Association or doing their bidding.

Although he denied being part of this organization, he did reveal his intent to capture the Spirit, Zhao Qi, claiming he was collecting certain special strangenesses or "similar-to-strangenesses."

"Similar-to-strangenesses" referred to humans who had a Strange Body constitution or who were intricately connected to strangenesses and had a high affinity with them, like the Spirit, Zhao Qi, and like Ku Zai.

Of course, now it seemed that Zhao Qi held much more value than Ku Zai, being able to materialize the imagination. If this ability could really be controlled at will, it would be a very terrifying thing.

When this guy named John Donne spoke of special strangenesses and mentioned that Ke'er and her daughter were also considered special strangenesses, Yan Junze immediately thought of Zhang Xiaomo's words to him.

Because the man from the Great Capital of USA who was beaten up by Xiang Er was also in search of people with a "similar-to-strangeness" constitution, even though he might not really be from the Half Moon Association, this showed that the Half Moon Association was either organizing or mobilizing other usable people to widely search for special strangenesses, or similar-to-strangenesses.

The specific reasons for the search for these strangenesses were still unclear, and John Donne did not seem like a member who could access these core secrets. And the person who wanted to capture the Spirit, Zhao Qi last time, might have been a private hire, just a mercenary acting for money and unaware of any key information.

However, there was still one thing that puzzled Yan Junze, and he continued to ask, "Why don't you as members of the same association seem to recognize each other?"

John glanced at him and swallowed hard, "Sir, you must not be an exorcist from Huaying Science and Technology University."

The implication being, if he were an exorcist from Huaying Science and Technology University, he should have also heard or known about the Half Moon Association.

Yan Junze played along and shook his head, "No."

In truth, he had indeed never thoroughly researched these foreign organizations.

"Aside from the core members of the association, all of us live as ordinary people with normal lives and jobs, with families and children," John explained. "It's only when the organization has tasks to assign that we go 'on a business trip.'

"So most of the members in this building now are not core members of the Half Moon Association?" Yan Junze asked.

"The boss on the lower floor is, the rest are not," John was quite open and forthcoming.

This satisfied Yan Junze quite a bit, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.

His earlier confusion was also resolved. It explained why, though these guys appeared well-organized, uniform in dress, and unified in action, they immediately fell apart when captured and confessed everything. It was this reason that caused it.

Even though they had confessed, since they did not know the organization's core secrets, the current mission being carried out by the Half Moon Association remained unaffected.

All Yan Junze was left with now were guesses, making wild conjectures based on limited clues.

Fortunately, they now understood the reason why the Half Moon Association was targeting the mother and daughter. As long as it was not a deep-seated vendetta or a matter of life and death, if they could escape, these people wouldn't continue to doggedly pursue the mother and daughter.

They might immediately shift their attention to the next target.

But now, how could they leave this place?

It seemed to be a tricky matter.

Escape was impossible through the windows, the main door was also impassable, climbing down the wall would lead to detection, and even transferring directly to another building would leave them intercepted mid-air.

At this moment, Yan Junze felt as if he was trapped in this building.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought, "Why do I have to be in this building? Why must I be trapped here?"

At that moment, his thinking suddenly broadened.

"How did you guys find this place?" Yan Junze asked John again.

"I don't know that," John shook his head, "But I know that Zhen City has been abandoned, strangenesses are rampant here, and your exorcists from Huaying Science and Technology University only have a semi-jurisdiction over this place."
