Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 234 233, Poke head out

"During the two hundred years of Crusades in church history, many heretical religions were eradicated, among them was the precursor to the Veda Sect."

"With the emergence of the Veda Sect, the Church started to pay more attention to this cult and, by combining some historical documents, obtained what they call information about Veda."

"The Church believes that Veda is a general term, a conceptual entity."

"It could be an Evil Spirit or a Demon Spirit, it might also be a demon, or something else entirely."

"But to this day, the Church hasn't got a precise definition of Veda because it may not exist in this world."

...

The above was Slivka's words.

After listening, Du Wei asked with heavy suspicion, "Not existing in this world, does that mean there are other worlds beyond the world we live in?"

When the topic escalates to the level of worlds, many things would become completely different.

If there's another world out there, it would overturn everyone's values and the concept of self-awareness.

While humans are a collective concept, they possess a strong sense of individuality, each person unique in their own right.

Experiences from childhood and the understanding of the world contribute to forming a complete worldview.

If a strange new world were introduced, the impact on self-awareness would be immense.

At that moment, Slivka also offered an explanation.

He shook his head and said, "Veda doesn't exist in this world; it's the product of a concept, possibly existing in many people's consciousness, dreams, or their darker sides."

"It's... It's a concept, Mr. Du Wei, you probably understand what I mean?"

There was an unusual tone in Du Wei's voice as he said, "I do understand..."

According to Slivka, the nun, Pennywise, might well be what's referred to as Veda. Hence the use of the collective term 'Vedas' to describe them.

But if this is true, wouldn't the Evil Spirit Du Wei also be a Veda?

It has the ability to affect everything that mimics it, even the people it has come into contact with, and can also communicate in the lake of the mind.

The confrontations, be they with nuns or Evil Spirits, were mostly spiritual.

And this was his forte.

On the other hand, both Slivka and Jon looked somewhat unwell—Jon was slightly better off, but Slivka's face was flushed, and his eyes seem somewhat revitalized.

And this was still the door covered with gloves and a white cloth.

Without these precautions, it would probably be impossible for ordinary people to even touch it; otherwise, their minds would definitely be twisted.

Thus, Du Wei exerted more effort, and together the three of them lifted the door.

This scene, in the eyes of the two bishops, fit the performance of a hunter perfectly—strong, terrifying, and with unwavering resolve.

But suddenly, just at that moment, a cold breeze blew over...

Cold and sinister.

Yet it shouldn't be possible for any wind to get into the poorly ventilated basement...

Du Wei's eyes turned chillingly cold, and as he turned his head, he saw that behind this door, at the wall, there was a human-shaped hollow space...

The wall had been hollowed out...

The cavity was dark and deep, like an invisible gaping maw ready to consume anyone who entered...

"What's going on?"

Slivka exclaimed in shock, his brow furrowed as he looked at the hollow space, his expression terribly conflicted.

Jon said solemnly, "It looks like a passageway; was the door being used to block this channel?"

But Du Wei shook his head, "No, it's not to block the passageway, but I fear it serves as a link. Open the door and you'll see the passage behind."

Instinctively, Du Wei felt a deep aversion to the passageway; the very narrow space itself was suffocating, the more narrow it was, the more oppressive it felt.

In the event of danger, there would be no chance of survival.

But all of a sudden...

Du Wei saw that Slivka's eyes had become unfocused, and his breathing had grown rapid, as he stuck his head forward into the narrow, human-shaped passageway...
