More than half an hour later.

Inside the house.

Du Wei instructed the exorcists to throw sandbags into the basement, gradually sealing off the entrance.

He was now certain that the school did not exist in reality, but at the end of the passage.

And once the door was opened, causing the mechanism to form,

The school would connect with reality, and the evil spirits inside could also come out.

The combined photo of Joanna and the girl was from ten years ago, and the appearance of the evil spirit girl Du Wei met was not much different from the one in the picture.

That is to say, the girl had turned into an evil spirit ten years ago.

And that girl had definitely been through the door and to the school, otherwise, none of the information known could be explained.

Upon further reflection, the chains wrapped around the door and the three locks were also problematic.

Because only a person would do that.

It meant that someone had closed the door ten years ago and locked it with chains.

But who that person was, remained unknown.

It could have been someone who wanted to prevent everything from happening, the good person, or it could have been the main culprit behind it all…

But no matter what, Du Wei did not want to have any more involvement with this matter.

He himself disliked that school intensely, as the evil spirits from it would pose a far greater danger than Mary Shaw once they got out.

By then, even more people would die.

And the church would send exorcists to deal with it. Although he could choose not to go, his identity as a hunter had already been legitimately exposed.

Some things had to be done.

"Mr. Du Wei, the basement has been completely sealed off,” said an exorcist, interrupting Du Wei’s thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Du Wei glanced at the filled-in basement and felt it still wasn’t safe enough.

"Remember to notify the police, to completely seal off this house and prohibit anyone from entering.”

If it weren’t for the uncertainty over whether there would be any issues if the door was destroyed, Du Wei would have been tempted to burn the door completely.

The exorcists were exhausted, but no one complained; they took out their cell phones and called the police.

At that moment.

Du Wei’s phone also started to ring.

The caller ID showed Officer Tom.

Instantly.

He furrowed his brow, then gestured to the other exorcists to leave with a wave of his hand.

After the others had left,

He sat on the sofa inside the house and pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, Officer Tom cursed in frustration,”fuck! Tell me what you did? I just fell asleep when I was taken into custody by higher-ups, and they made me sign a whole bunch of nondisclosure agreements, all about Yard City! I’m fucking supposed to be a New York cop… Jesus… fuck!”

"I tried calling my good buddy Allen, couldn’t get through at all. Tell me, what the hell happened in Yard City?”

Hearing this, Du Wei exited the Spirit Vision state and said with a complicated tone, “Do you really want to know? This could have a big impact, and the fewer people who know, the better.”

Tom fell silent.

After a long time, he said through clenched teeth, “Tell me what you can that won’t put me at risk.”

After thinking for a moment, Du Wei said, “Your good buddy Allen, have you been in contact with him before?”

Tom was puzzled, “Not very much, why? Don’t tell me he’s an evil spirit too, I’ll be traumatized…”

Du Wei coughed and said, “Pretty much…”

Tom turned pale, “fuck! When did it happen? I visited the Red Light District in Yard City two months ago, and it was him who received me…”

Du Wei was somewhat speechless, “You should go to those places less often, just stay in New York and behave yourself. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to save you.”

Tom gritted his teeth and said, “I’m never leaving New York for the rest of my life, but if Allen has turned into that kind of thing, does it mean I’m being targeted again?”

The word ‘again’ made Tom very uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Du Wei said indifferently, “Don’t worry, if you’re still alive and well, that means you’re fine. As for Allen, I guess you won’t see him again in this lifetime.”

Tom’s voice turned hoarse with shock, “Is he dead?”

Du Wei said in a deep voice, “He was already dead before I arrived in Yard City.”

On the other end of the phone, silence ensued.

Du Wei also did not intend to break the silence first. He could probably imagine Tom’s mood, after all, he and Allen had been close friends.

For a time, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

After a good while,

Tom’s voice sounded coldly, “Dead is dead, people die anyways. I still owed him money, and now I don’t have to… don’t have to pay it back.”

The words lacked any emotion, but for some reason, the sense of sadness became even heavier.

"Take it easy, at least the Evil Spirit incidents in Yard City have been resolved…”

"Don’t worry, I’m not troubled. You don’t need to worry about me. You’re an Exorcist, you’ll face even more dangers. Make sure to stay alive. The only people I’m close to now are you and Father Tony…”

After speaking, Tom hung up the phone.

Du Wei sat on the couch and slowly closed his bloodshot eyes due to exhaustion.

A cold and dead silence began to emanate from his body.

Starting from the couch, it gradually filled the entire room.

He underwent an Evil Spirit Transformation, even deeper than before.

The next second.

Du Wei opened his eyes and coldly looked at his pale right hand.

After undergoing an Evil Spirit Transformation, all negative emotions vanished, leaving only absolute calm and rationality.

And indifference to life…

But this time, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

To be honest,

He had no relationship with Allen and wouldn’t feel sad about it.

Even the idea of sympathy was so faint it was almost nonexistent.

Yet, he suddenly felt very oppressed.

"Not being human doesn’t mean not being me.”

He had said this sentence twice before, and now this was the third time.

"I will resolve the hidden dangers of the Evil Spirit Transformation and possess the power to protect those around me…”

"One step at a time, first I need to obtain the hunter abilities that should manifest…”

"And now, I’ve received this opportunity… The Church is a turning point.”

"There’s also the Evil Spirit Du Wei and the curses, I will resolve them one by one.”

As his words ended.

Du Wei stood up from the couch, the cold aura had disappeared, but his entire being was even more composed than before.

At this very moment.

Elsewhere, at the location of the Dusk Bell Church.

It was still the second floor of that church.

A huge table was placed in the center, as if a council was in session.

Sixteen chairs were filled except for the foremost one.

The surrounding lights were dim, intentionally obscuring some faces, even though they were wearing hoods.

Hannibal Lecter sat with his hands on his knees, always maintaining a straight posture. His deep-set eyes, with their blue hue, carried an enigmatic look, tempting one to plunge into them and speculate about his thoughts.

At this moment.

Someone took the lead and said, “Word has come that a new hunter has appeared in the Church. He’s Asian, named Du Wei.”

Clearly, this news was passed on by a member of Dusk Bell within the Church.

The silence was broken.

Immediately, someone scoffed, “That new hunter won’t get along with the old fossils of the Church.”

The one who had first spoken frowned and said, “Who will make contact with the new hunter? It would be best to absorb him into Dusk Bell. If that’s not possible, at least convey our goodwill to him.”

"Mr. Hannibal, why don’t you pay a visit…”
