Chapter 209 208, Hush...
June 2nd.
The rain in New York City still hadn't stopped, and according to the weather forecast, it would probably last about a week.
Of course, that didn't matter much to Du Wei anymore.
Because tomorrow he was to "go on a business trip" to Yard City.
After agreeing to the church's request, Father Tony had also mentioned that a bishop from the church would help him search for traces of the Evil Spirit in the mirror for a while.
So, this could be seen as a transaction.
And according to Father Tony, there had been two demonic occurrences recently in Yard City; one seemed to stem from the legend of a horror nursery rhyme, which meant Mary Shaw.
The other appeared to be related to the incident that occurred in Esselgreen, that is, the Veda Sect's creation of Evil Spirits.
The two cities were close to each other, with less than half an hour's travel between them.
If Du Wei needed assistance, then Bishop Jon and Slivka, who were currently dealing with the problem in Esselgreen, would give him support.
At dawn.
In Alex's home.
In the bedroom, Du Wei was already dressed, buttoning his shirt while looking at Alex, who sat on the bed hugging her knees.
He was somewhat helpless.
When he told his girlfriend yesterday that he was going on a business trip to Yard City, she became particularly upset.
"I have to go,"
Du Wei said cautiously, watching his girlfriend's expression.
She snorted coldly, turning her head away without saying a word.
Seeing this, Du Wei couldn't help but feel awkward.
He hurried to sit beside Alex and pulled her into an embrace.
Alex stiffened, saying reluctantly, "I've only been back for a couple of days, and now you have to go to Yard City to deal with a demonic event, I'm not happy..."@@@@
Du Wei kissed Alex's cheek gently, "It's just a trip. Once I handle the matter, I'll come right back to be with you."
Alex said unhappily, "But how do I know how long it will take for you to handle things? What if it takes ten days or half a month? You won't let me go with you; what should I do when I miss you?"
In fact.
She didn't want to stop Du Wei from going to Yard City, nor did she want to be difficult with him; it was simply out of reluctance and worry.
She somewhat understood the affairs between an Exorcist and Evil Spirits.
The former was always at a disadvantage, with death and injury being inevitable.
He had entered the Horror House nine days ago, and it was almost a miracle he made it out alive.
If he were to go in again today, the situation would not be much better than before.
Because that place had clearly become something entirely different from the outside world.
The Horror House was frightening, but an Evil Spirit-infested Horror House was lethal.
When he left, Du Wei had noticed an unknown terror that had exited the Horror House before him.
But even now, he was uncertain whether that thing was an Evil Spirit or something else.
Moreover, about the owner of the Horror House...
Officer Tom couldn't find any information about this person. It was as if they only existed in other people's conversations and not in reality.
So before leaving New York, Du Wei had to make sure there would be no Evil Spirit incidents, or else he wouldn't be at ease.
...
At 11 a.m.
After spending the morning with the reluctant Alex, Du Wei bade her farewell.
He drove straight to the center of the North Brook District.
When he reached a street that had been sealed off, he was immediately stopped by two personnel.
They wore raincoats and called out loudly, "Please stop, sir. This area has been sealed off. Unauthorized persons, please keep your distance."
Du Wei rolled down the car window and gave them a glance, "I'm Du Wei. Are you from Officer Tom's team?"
The two staff members looked at him suspiciously, stepping forward to ask, "Dr. Du Wei? Our boss has mentioned you, but this place is indeed unsafe. You should take a detour."
Du Wei said calmly, "Rest assured, I am more aware of what has happened here than you are. I just came to check if that villa is safe, and I won't go inside."
The staff hesitated then said, "Please wait, let me call our boss and ask for instructions."
After saying that, they walked aside and picked up a cell phone.
Meanwhile, Du Wei gazed at the standalone two-and-a-half-story villa in the rain, having already entered the state of Spirit Vision.
In an instant.
He felt an indescribable sense of gloom.
The entire villa seemed to have split from reality, dark and dim.
Inside the villa was an intense presence of malice.
Obviously.
The Evil Spirit inside the villa had fresh memories of Du Wei...
