“fuck! fuck! fuck!”
In the bar, Tom cursed three times in a row, his face contorted to the extreme.
“What’s the situation? Father Tony and I really just came to have a few drinks. Except for ogling the girls, we haven’t done a damn thing!”
“How the hell did we get targeted by an Evil Spirit?”
Tom was losing his mind…
Next to him, Father Tony was completely flustered, staring fiercely at Tom, and he uncharacteristically started cursing: “I knew nothing good comes from hanging out with you. Last time an Evil Spirit targeted you, I nearly got killed, and now you drag me out for drinks, and I end up screwed because of you!”
Tom, cursing and swearing, said, “fuck! I haven’t done anything recently!”
Honestly…
He had just returned to New York yesterday. The last few days he had been on duty in Yard City, so busy he was nearly out of his mind.
He didn’t even have time to enjoy the Yard City Red Light District, it was all work and no play.Getting targeted by an Evil Spirit like this, Tom felt something was very off.
If it were that easy, everyone in the world would have been dead by now.
Just then, Du Wei looked at the two helpless men and spread his hands, saying, “Calm down, guys. It’s not as bad as you think. The situation isn’t that dire yet, and this can be resolved. Moreover, it’s unlikely that either of you is in any real danger.”
That’s when Tom and Father Tony sobered up from the influence of the alcohol.
They felt a bit more at ease.
“Dude, you gotta perform an Exorcism on me. I swear I’ll never come to the Red Light District again.”
“Mr. Du Wei, there’s plenty of Holy Water in the church. Just kill that Evil Spirit, and even if you need Bone Powder, I can request to get some from the Church Headquarters.”
Their tones were extremely frantic.
Both Tom and Father Tony were in reality just ordinary people.
Apart from someone like Du Wei, it was hard for normal people to stay rational once they knew they were being targeted by an Evil Spirit.
Du Wei looked at them calmly and said, “I went to the church this morning and already reported to them. You guys really don’t need to worry too much. Besides, this isn’t the best place to discuss this matter.”
Saying this, he turned his head to glance at the women and waiters who were asleep in the bar.
Under the state of Spirit Vision, there were no signs of anything abnormal on any of them.
Which meant, the unlucky ones were just the two of them…
After Tom and Father Tony regained their senses, their faces couldn’t hide the embarrassment.
Father Tony stammered, “This is indeed not the place for such a discussion. There’s a café outside the Red Light District where we can talk.”
Tom agreed with a nod.
Hearing this, Du Wei stared deeply at Father Tony.
It hadn’t been long, yet Father Tony had already gotten a grip on the nearby facilities of the Red Light District…
He said somewhat speechlessly, “Let’s go to the church. I still need to communicate with the Church Headquarters about the Evil Spirit.”
When he went to the church in the morning, he was too worried about Father Tony and therefore didn’t get a chance to use the landline to contact the church.
…
Over half an hour later.
The three arrived at the church in the North Brook District.
In the reception room, Tom and Father Tony sat down separately, both their expressions awkward, looking at each other, the atmosphere delicate…
There’s a déjà vu feeling of being caught in a raid in the Red Light District…
Aside.
Du Wei paid no attention to the two of them and used the landline to make a call to the Church Headquarters in St. Bodia.
“This is Du Wei. A troubling Evil Spirit has emerged in New York, manifesting as a nightmare. Currently, roughly a hundred people have been affected, including myself, Father Tony, and Officer Tom from the NYPD.”
He did not mention the curse.
The reason for this had already been thoroughly contemplated by him beforehand.
As for the consequences, Du Wei knew what they were, it was simply the loss of the Church’s support.
But in fact, the Church couldn’t offer much help in such situations…
At most, they would send people like Harry over, in addition to some resources and information assistance.
The former was not much different from having no help at all. Such entities required many hunters to take on together; otherwise, no one would be able to handle them.
As for the latter, with Du Wei’s position and clearance within the Church, he could manage it entirely on his own.
The most important point was that he now had the help of his girlfriend’s family.
In a sense, this was much more reliable than the Church.
After all, he was going to be the future son-in-law of the Wittebach family…
There was silence on the other end of the phone for quite a while before a hoarse woman’s voice responded, belonging to the head of the Tribunal—Mrs. Senna.
She said, “I remember there’s already an Evil Spirit in New York that was sealed away. How has another Evil Spirit appeared?”
Du Wei answered, “I’m not clear on the specifics, but yesterday, I encountered it in a dream. It’s consuming many people’s nightmares and is becoming increasingly terrifying.”
As he spoke, he added, “For now, I can’t resolve it, so I need the Church’s help.”
Mrs. Senna said hesitantly, “The Church doesn’t have anything left to assist you. The Dusk Bell is having internal issues, with a hunter named Hannibal defecting and joining the Veda Sect, and there’s also a mysterious hunter code-named Doctor. Our manpower is tied up dealing with these matters and can’t support you.”
Hearing this…
Du Wei’s pupils constricted. Hannibal defected and joined the Veda Sect?
Wasn’t he turned into a blood mist by the Evil Spirit himself?
Surviving three consecutive killings, he was still alive?
Du Wei took a deep breath, suppressed the complex thoughts swirling in his mind, and spoke with feigned calm, “The Dusk Bell’s issues don’t concern me. I will do what I must.”
“I’ve considered the Church’s lack of manpower. The new Evil Spirit in New York won’t kill people in the short term; it only consumes the nightmares of others.”
“I think this is a safe period, so I want to understand the mechanism behind this kind of Evil Spirit and try to deal with it before the situation spirals out of my control.”
On the phone, Mrs. Senna spoke with a tone of apology, “I’m relieved you can understand the Church. Many can’t take on the responsibility as you do. What do you need the Church to do?”
Du Wei replied, “I need to make contact with the Evil Spirit associated with dreams.”
Mrs. Senna said with hesitation, “You’re looking for the Evil Spirit again? I remember last time, you had me find the one related to mirrors. You do understand this is dangerous, right?”
Du Wei spoke with conviction, “But for the Church and for the safety of innocent lives, this is what I ought to do.”
His words aligned perfectly with his selfless image within the Church…
Mrs. Senna was touched immediately. She sighed on the other end of the line and slowly said, “I haven’t come across this kind of Evil Spirit in the Church’s records, but I know that something similar happened in Europe—not an Evil Spirit, but something else.”
Du Wei raised an eyebrow and said, “From the international airport here to Europe is roughly an eight-hour flight, the distance isn’t too great. Tell me the exact location; I need to make a trip there.”
Mrs. Senna spoke slowly, “Poland, but I don’t recommend going there right now because it’s within the activity range of the Veda Sect…”
