June 9th, morning, the weather was clear.
Du Wei drove early in the morning with Bernard’s family to the church.
After Father Tony carefully inquired about the encounter of Bernard’s family, he made the sign of the cross over his chest.
“The church will offer assistance in this matter, may the Lord bless you all.”
Bernard was very grateful, “Thank you, Father.”
Father Tony smiled kindly and then said to Du Wei, “Let’s talk inside.”
Some things were not suitable to be spoken in front of others.
Du Wei understood this well and followed him inside.
…
In the reception room.Father Tony closed the door and when he turned around again, his face was very serious, “Mr. Du Wei, after you spoke to me last night, I have already communicated with the church.”
“The situation is tricky; it is unlikely that the church can gather many people in a short time.”
“They don’t have the capacity to deal with this kind of matter anymore.”
The situation was more serious than imagined.
Du Wei remained silent for a while before saying, “But the thing behind that door is indeed very dangerous, with at least a hundred Evil Spirit students, and there is also one with a name, a being with intelligence.”
Father Tony said seriously, “It’s precisely because of that Hoddy that I say it’s not normal.”
“Evil Spirits are not supposed to be intelligent, let alone communicate with humans.”
“Only demons or devils could do that.”
Du Wei frowned, “It sounds very fantastical. If there are demons, then is there also hell, the abyss, and all sorts of chaotic places, as well as heaven? According to what the Bible says, will we all go to heaven after we die?”
That statement was somewhat taboo.
If it had been before, Father Tony would have definitely admonished Du Wei to be cautious with his words, but lately, his faith had been swayed by Tom, and it was not as firm as before.
Hmm… perhaps replacing ‘firm’ with ‘stubborn’ would be better.
Therefore, Father Tony said to Du Wei, “You’d better not say that to others, or they would definitely fight you over it.”
He was referring to other clergymen, except himself.
Du Wei said indifferently, “That’s why, Father Tony, I only complain to you.”
These words were intentional…
Father Tony’s expression froze, his heart felt a bit complicated; he couldn’t help thinking that Du Wei’s willingness to complain only to him meant he did not consider him an outsider, right?
In other words, their relationship must be much better than with others.
That’s right… after all, he was the one who had brought him into the church personally; it was different with him.
And his relationship with Du Wei had always been good.
Thinking this, Father Tony cleared his throat, looked around, and said, “Actually, heaven and hell are just fabrications by the faithful, but demons or devils genuinely do exist.”
Du Wei laughed, “In some of the literature I’ve read, demons and devils are very powerful, even possessing magic, mind control abilities, right?”
Father Tony waved his hand and said, “An Evil Spirit can also change a person’s mind. Can’t a psychiatrist do the same? It’s all performed that way in movies.”
While speaking, he also became troubled and said, “But demons, well, they are some kind of concept that truly exists, yet does not exist.”
Du Wei raised an eyebrow and asked, “Similar to, the source of a curse, that is it?”
‘It’ referred to the nun.
Father Tony said solemnly, “More or less, they’re all products of some primal evil worship. Then, their behavior is peculiar; they will possess those they favor, seize their minds, essentially being reborn.”
Hearing this.
Du Wei couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. He had thought demons were something like he had imagined, not just objects of worship.
“Is there a way to kill it if I want to?”
Hoddy was suspected to be an Evil Spirit, and it seemed to be showing weakness for the moment.
And what Du Wei liked the most was to kick it while it was down.
Father Tony looked troubled as he looked at Du Wei: “It’s unkillable. As long as someone still believes in it, as long as it exists in people’s memory, it won’t die.”
“In the Middle Ages, the church had launched many holy wars, encountered these bizarre entities, and only eradicated a few products of the Cult worship, which, of course, was bloody.”
Du Wei nodded, understanding. According to Father Tony, the way the church had eradicated them probably involved completely destroying the entire Cult organization—there must have been many deaths.
Not quite suited for the current situation.
Otherwise, he might very well be counted among them.
But waiting for death wasn’t Du Wei’s style either.
He spoke in a calm tone, “Someone has to resolve this, and it said that the door had already been opened. The church has to do something.”
Father Tony clasped his hands tightly, conflicted as he said, “I’ll call the church again, but the situation might not be as favorable as you think.”
Du Wei said calmly, “I will talk to them. I am now the Deputy Chief Judge of the church, and I am also a hunter. My words will carry more weight than yours.”
“Alright…”
Father Tony also knew that Du Wei was right. No longer conflicted, he moved aside and picked up the landline.
A minute later, the call went through.
Father Tony briefly spoke with the other side, then handed the phone to Du Wei.
“Mrs. Senna is on the line.”
Du Wei hummed in response, his voice calm: “This is Du Wei. I need the church’s support and help.”
On the phone, Mrs. Senna spoke wearily, “I’ve pretty much got the situation, but the church truly can’t spare anyone right now. We’re busy dealing with the Dusk Bell issue.”
Du Wei said coldly, “But this is something the church should deal with, isn’t it?”
Mrs. Senna replied helplessly, “So you should keep the incident within the confines of New York. We will communicate with the authorities.”
What she implied was that people could die in New York, as long as they could keep the situation under wraps for the time being.
But Du Wei laughed coldly and said, “I agree with your thinking, and I don’t see an issue with that approach myself, but the incident won’t break out in New York; it will happen somewhere else.”
The door wasn’t in New York.
Mrs. Senna asked hastily, “What do you mean? Aren’t you in New York?”
Du Wei spoke slowly, “The door, behind it lies a passage, possibly harboring many strange things, and at the far end is a school—filled with Evil Spirits, and something that seems to be a demon.”
“That door is in Esselgreen, near Yard City.”
Mrs. Senna said gravely, “I’m well aware of what you’re talking about, but we’ve already had someone check it out. The basement has been well sealed with sandbags, and the door has not been opened.”
Hearing this…
Du Wei’s expression darkened slightly: “Are you sure?”
Mrs. Senna said, “Of course, I’m sure.”
Du Wei fell silent…
After a while, he finally said, “If that’s the case, then the situation might be even more serious, because I know of a painting called ‘The Other Door.'”
