Chapter 273: 272. An Invitation from the Vanity Sect
In the suburbs of Scolyn City.
The season was aflame with blossoming flowers, a dazzling array of colors.
The city itself was a tourist hub, and every year when the flower sea bloomed, people came to watch and vacation.
Of course.
The flowers in the suburbs were not forbidden to be picked.
The precondition was to pay money.
It was also a way to profit.
After paying the staff, Du Wei got busy in the sea of flowers.
Picking one of each type, any woman would probably not refuse.
About an hour or so later, Du Wei looked around and had basically picked every flower he saw.
“Time to go back.”
Du Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to turn and leave.
However, at that moment.
Out of the blue, he saw a figure in the distance amidst the flowers, wearing a mask and clad in attire similar to regular church clothes, standing silently.
A sense of caution surged within Du Wei, his eyebrows rose slightly as he pretended not to notice and merged into the nearby crowd of tourists.
Under the state of Spirit Vision, he didn’t sense anything unusual.
The other party was evidently a living person.
But the strange clothing, and the mask, made it all seem rather unsettling.
Du Wei didn’t want to make more trouble for himself and preferred not to engage, no matter who the other person was.
The earlier situation with Hannibal had already taxed his wits enough.
“I hope they’re not here for me.”
Fate was not on his side.
As Du Wei blended into the crowd, quickly approaching the exit, he suddenly furrowed his brow, feeling instinctively as if he was being watched.
When he looked back.
The masked person was following right behind him, seemingly attempting to get closer.
“Something’s not right...”
Du Wei murmured to himself, his eyes cold and sharp.
“But what I want to tell you is, my intention wasn’t actually to kill people.”
Du Wei said coolly, “Sounds interesting, go on.”
Mercer touched the mask on his face and pointed at Du Wei, “At the very bottom of the Horror House, there actually exists a mask, but it had problems by the time I discovered it. I could only put Annabelle in there for a blood sacrifice.”
“I tried to appease it but failed, and it escaped with the mask.”
Du Wei was puzzled, “It escaped? You mean the Evil Spirit?”
Mercer answered, “Actually, it’s a Demon Spirit. The blood sacrifice couldn’t appease it, and it disappeared without a trace. I haven’t found it to this day.”
“But then I discovered you.”
“You have two masks as well but don’t worry, they’re not much related to the Vanity Sect. To be precise, we hate the person who made them.”
“Because the maker of the masks subverted the foundation of the Vanity Sect in an extremely ironic way, and the replicas they created are very high quality.”
Upon hearing this, Du Wei began to think silently.
The part about Crocker Mercer not being credible regarding the blood sacrifice; it was something that couldn’t be easily washed away.
Moreover, whether the goal of the blood sacrifice was to appease or awaken the Demon Spirit was debatable.
The latter part of his speech, however, required further consideration.
If what the other party said was true, then the foundation of the Vanity Sect was the masks, and it seemed to be related to the Demon Spirit.
And yet someone had managed to create a version of the mask infused with the Evil Spirit.
The literal meaning of subverting was to make the impossible possible.
That is, for the Vanity Church, it was impossible for someone to create a mask, or rather they themselves couldn’t do it.
Therefore, Du Wei said, “So what do you want to do? If I don’t join the Vanity Sect, are you going to take action against me to reclaim the masks I have?”
Mercer shook his head, “No, because we acknowledge the two masks you have, as well as your existence, which is why we hope you can join us to fill the void.”
“Void?”
Du Wei’s tone was a bit strange, “Among the thirteen, has someone died?”
Mercer commended, “Correct, the deceased was the owner of the mask beneath the Horror House, but I don’t know who he was. We only contact each other at certain times.”
“When someone dies, someone else must be recruited.”
“If you join us, you will find that the so-called risk of Evil Spirit Transformation is actually no problem for you.”
Hearing this, Du Wei asked an important question, “Then what do I need to do?”
Mercer immediately said, “Bring back that mask.”
