I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 696 - 417 Perception of Nearby Strangenesses
Chapter 696: Chapter 417: Perception of Nearby Strangenesses Chapter 696: Chapter 417: Perception of Nearby Strangenesses The exorcist organizations in the Great Capital of the USA, other than the largest Half Moon Association, also include some smaller groups, which are not much to speak of.
Moreover, if a small exorcist organization grew to a certain size, it would immediately catch the attention of the Half Moon Association, and then be forcibly incorporated.
Therefore, some small exorcist organizations that did not wish to join the Half Moon Association simply controlled their growth, restricting their number of exorcists to 10 or fewer, and their exorcism activities to a certain urban area.
In this way, they could minimize the attention from the Half Moon Association as much as possible.
Because the Half Moon Association controlled many exorcists and its members were scattered, these exorcists of varying ranks would be busy with their own lives and would only come together when there was action to be taken.
If they encountered or heard of strange events, they would immediately report to the organization and carry out exorcisms in their respective areas.
Of course, high-ranking exorcists received many privileges within the association.
The city where the Ghost Apartment was located was called Saint Gala City, situated in Mengen Fort State, which was the largest in the Great Capital of the USA.
This state also had many members of the Half Moon Association, especially here in Saint Gala City with a Ghost Apartment in existence, which was closely monitored by the Half Moon Association.
Of course, there were also some other very small exorcist organizations here.
Mr. Swaphead Corante was a horrifying presence that had been the talk of the Northern District of Saint Gala City recently.
Doctor Charlie had heard about it too, and even as a doctor, he was aware of certain specific details, otherwise, he wouldn’t have associated the injuries on Yan Junze’s body with Mr. Swaphead Corante.
When Yan Junze heard him suddenly blurt out “Mr. Swaphead Corante,” he was taken aback, then shook his head,”No, I got bitten by some unknown Black Bugs in the woods outside the city, it has nothing to do with any Mr. Swaphead.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Doctor Charlie nodded, asking Yan Junze to roll up the clothing covering his wound and first used a hemostatic cloth to stop the bleeding.
In truth, the little wound had already stopped bleeding.

Then Doctor Charlie prepared some 75% alcohol and hydrogen peroxide and carefully cleaned the surface of the wound from the Black Bug bite with the alcohol.
During this time, he scrutinized the wound seriously to see if any severed insect heads were left inside and finally rinsed the inside of the wound with hydrogen peroxide.
Because the sizes of the wounds varied, only the wounds on the stomach and the arm were bandaged with iodine-covered gauze, while the smaller wounds were merely disinfected.
Yan Junze took the opportunity to ask Doctor Charlie what this Mr. Swaphead Corante he mentioned earlier was all about.
Doctor Charlie did not conceal the truth.
It was said that every night after midnight, a man in a tailcoat, leaning on a cane, wearing a tall top hat would appear somewhere in the Northern District of Saint Gala City.
You should know that even in the Great Capital of the USA, it was rare for anyone to wear that comical kind of top hat these days, unless they were clowns in a circus.
But according to those who had seen Mr. Swaphead Corante from a distance, Mr. Corante’s attire appeared very comfortable to the eye, without the slightest hint of ridiculousness.
And if you were alone when you encountered him, then you were in for trouble; the next day, in some corner of a street in the city, there would certainly be a body found without a head.
Up until now, neither the security bureau nor the exorcist organizations had found the heads of the victims.
Previously, someone had escaped a catastrophe when an exorcist ambushed Corante during an encounter, and this man, who narrowly survived, claimed Corante’s face was one he had seen before, the same as the man who had last encountered Corante and died as reported in the news.
Therefore, everyone began calling him Mr. Swaphead, because after he killed someone, he would take that person’s head and put it on his own neck.
“So, the ambushing exorcist didn’t kill Mr. Corante?” Yan Junze carefully lowered the rolled-up clothing over his wounds and then asked.
At this moment, Doctor Charlie was already spraying anti-inflammatory medicine on his swollen ankle.
Upon hearing Yan Junze’s query, he shook his head, wrapped the ankle twice with medicine-soaked cotton and gauze, then used a simple disposable stabilizer to secure the ankle, ensuring it wouldn’t sustain further injury.
It was then that Doctor Charlie looked up and replied, “These three exorcists lying in ambush were discovered the next day as headless corpses in the news, their heads also missing. Furthermore, those who encountered Mr. Swaphead all had what seemed like insect-bite-like small wounds on their bodies, so I misunderstood your situation earlier.”
Yan Junze exclaimed with surprise, “Does that mean Mr. Swaphead Corante has not been eradicated yet?”
“No,” Doctor Charlie shook his head, “if you’ve just arrived in Saint Gala City, I would suggest staying in the South District, and if you must stay in the North District, then do not go out after midnight.”
With that, Doctor Charlie waved his hand, “No, even staying indoors might not be safe, as Corante will knock on the doors of those who live alone. It’s not necessarily only encountering him on the street that’s dangerous, this is the safety knowledge the exorcist organizations have been instilling in us residents of the Northern District these past few days.”
Yan Junze was somewhat excited, rubbing his hands together, a look of moderate fear crossed his face, “I see, I’ll be careful. Thank you, Doctor Charlie, how much do I owe you?”
