“I’m being targeted.”
The feeling was intense, as if the attacker could strike at any moment.
In the next second, Yan Junze made the decision to Rewind.
Time went back to the moment he had just appeared in the room, crouching beside this large bookshelf.
This time, he wasn’t planning to move again.
He was sure that his previous actions weren’t conspicuous enough to alarm Assam; the reason this man had discovered him must be his movement from the bookshelf to the area behind the fabric sofa.
That guy might possess extremely acute senses towards changes in his environment, so this time, Yan Junze wouldn’t move; after all, he had already heard Rodney, George, and Assam’s conversation clearly.
Being slightly further away this time, it wouldn’t matter much if he couldn’t hear the conversation clearly.
Moreover, Yan Junze understood that he was just an ordinary human, not like the strangenesses that could emit a magnetic field around them at any time.
It followed that Exorcists sensitive to strangenesses, such as Assam, would certainly notice any changes in the magnetic field in this direction.
Now, he just quietly leaned against one side of the bookshelf, completely still, the sound of his breathing negligible in the spacious room.
The three of them chatted back and forth, and before long, David Charles, the Deputy Head of the Half Moon Association, entered through the door.
Now Yan Junze knew that David Charles seemed to be in cahoots with Assam, apparently supporting the camp that wanted to use the Book of Oath to open the altar, and the two shared more secrets unknown to outsiders.
The distance from the bookshelf to the fabric sofa was roughly four meters. Due to the distance, after Rodney and George left, as Charles and Assam started talking, Yan Junze couldn’t hear them very clearly.
He still didn’t move but just pricked up his ears, trying hard to listen.
This time, Assam indeed hadn’t noticed his presence, but as their speech was intermittent, Yan Junze, despite his careful attempts to discern, couldn’t get the full picture. However, he managed to compile five key points.
The first was that Deputy Head David Charles was certainly conspiring with Assam, a fact that might be unknown to the Head of the Association, and their group included more than just the two of them, there were others.
Perhaps, the Elder Council of the Association was mostly swayed by Charles, which led to the decision to open the altar being approved, regardless of how much the Head opposed it.
The second point was that the two frequently mentioned someone named Morrison with reverence in their tone, leading Yan Junze to suspect that Morrison was very powerful.
Given that within the Association, David Charles was already the Deputy Head, he had no one above him except for the Head, not counting the Elder Council.
A person who still commands awe from Charles is likely someone very powerful, such as this Morrison.
The third key point was that although the decision to open the altar had only been made recently, in fact, Charles and Assam’s team had secretly planned to search for special strangenesses some time ago.
This planning was at least a few months in advance.
That is to say, by now, they had already found some special strangenesses as sacrificial offerings, but since the Head had not agreed, it was inconvenient to send people to capture these strangenesses directly.
Yan Junze guessed that even if they hadn’t captured them, it was very possible that they were keeping an eye on these strangenesses, and people with the power to secretly watch over strangenesses were naturally strong, which made him unconsciously think of Morrison, whom Charles mentioned a few times.
However, judging from Charles’s tone, he held great awe for this person, and having him keeping watch over the strangenesses seemed somewhat inappropriate.
This point, because some parts of the conversation weren’t clear, Yan Junze himself couldn’t fully understand.

The fourth key point was that Assam obtained information that Chu Linna had leaked news about the altar and the Book of Oath through extracting conversation from Rodney and George, which was detrimental to their plans.
The two discussed whether they should seize an opportunity to quietly dispose of Chu Linna.
The last key point was that the Book of Oath was indeed here, right next door in the “Sealed Room.”
From Assam’s tone, he seemed very confident about storing the Book of Oath in this “Sealed Room,” not worried about any mishaps at all.
This news posed a difficult problem for Yan Junze.
It seemed that Assam’s abilities were at least equivalent to a four-star Exorcist from Olay Great Capital, or even five stars, and now even he was satisfied with the storage location of the Book of Oath, which meant it would be very difficult to steal.
Considering again that the Book of Oath apparently had been in the Great Capital Museum of Olay Great Capital before, the difficulty of successfully stealing it from there would be no less than the current situation.
Junze had chosen to appear in the location where the Book of Oath was stored, and the Atlas had already warned that he would be killed immediately upon appearing there, and now it also seemed impossible to proceed.
What to do?
It seemed impossible now to take away the Book of Oath.
