Chapter 281: 280, two doors
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 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.'”
