Chapter 320: Unexpected person...
Dudu dudu...
The cellphone vibrated...
In the hall, screams were incessant.
Du Wei stared at his cellphone screen, fixing his gaze on the string of unfamiliar numbers; a hint of surprise flickered in his calm eyes.
“Have I also become a part of the nightmare?”
To be honest,
Du Wei was somewhat at a loss now.
The telephone number had never appeared in his memory before, which meant that the entity on the other side could be completely unknown.
Just like what the clown had said, it could be a person, or it could be not.
“This is the world of dreams; apart from it and myself, there can be no other evil spirits. The one calling me can’t step outside this preset condition.”
Du Wei spoke calmly, glancing at the cellphone screen, then at the people in the hall.
By then, abnormalities had already occurred.
The walls were moldy and cracked, the carpets rotten, and the candle flames turned a ghastly green.
Some people were kneeling on the ground holding telephones; hands reached out from the phones and inserted themselves into the people’s mouths.
Others were crumbling and screaming, not knowing what they were experiencing.
Blood was slowly flowing on the ground.
Gusts of cold wind blew, making the scene look even more terrifying than a horror movie.
Everything seemed so absurd.
Only Du Wei sat calmly on the sofa, observing it all.
“Since the nightmare has begun, let’s add some seasoning; the more terrifying, the quicker it ends.”
Having said that, Du Wei no longer looked at the people but instead fixed his eyes on the cellphone screen and slowly pressed the answer button.
“Now, it seems I have become a part of the nightmare. If I want it to come faster, then I must let the nightmare continue.”
With a beep,
the call connected.
Next second, a voice that astonished even Du Wei came from the other end of the phone.@@@@
“Director... Director, is that you? I’ve finally reached you; thank God, I’ve missed you so much!”
In resignation, Du Wei said, “I’m working at another psychiatric hospital right now, I probably won’t have time to come over, but they should be merging soon, and then we’ll see each other.”
Ryan asked, puzzled, “Merge? Does that mean there will be a director then, will it affect my promotion and pay raise?”
Embarrassedly, Du Wei said, “No, you’ll be my deputy when the time comes, whatever I promised you, I’ll make sure it’s fulfilled.”
He now had a very bold idea.
Both the Church and Dusk Bell had been planting undercover agents within each other’s organizations.
In fact, both organizations should be well aware of this, and might even know who the other’s planted undercover agents are.
But now...
It seemed an undercover agent whom nobody expected had infiltrated the Dusk Bell Church.
And this undercover agent only followed his own orders, his most loyal, most excellent subordinate...
Well, at least that’s what Ryan believed.
Thinking of this, Du Wei said to Ryan, “What’s Dusk Bell Psychiatric Hospital’s current attitude towards you?”
Ryan thought for a moment and said, “They seem to respect me a lot. They even held a meeting today, gave me some cross and medals, and said my ability is quite effective against the Evil Spirit. They let James take me out for a walk and such.”
Hearing this, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Ryan was safe at Dusk Bell, and Dusk Bell seemed to value him greatly, this was an opportunity for Du Wei to play his cards right.
He cleared his throat and said, “Doctor Ryan, you are my most excellent subordinate, and I have a task for you now.”
Ryan eagerly replied, “Please tell me, Director.”
Smiling, Du Wei said, “Do a good job at Dusk Bell, try to become a core member of Dusk Bell.”
Ryan had a moment of realization, “I get it, this is for the annual performance assessment, right? I definitely won’t let you down.”
Du Wei smiled faintly, ready to continue speaking, but the phone call was abruptly cut off...
His pupils contracted, and he turned his head towards the hall.
At this instant, the people who were in the hall a second ago had suddenly vanished.
Even the hall itself was gradually disappearing.
Only one wall stood before him, with a painting hanging on it, covered by a veil of gauze. Vaguely visible beneath the gauze was a blurry, humanoid outline...
And at the base of the painting, on the wall below, a faint shadow appeared.
It seemed to be dressed in a nun’s habit, holding an oil painting in its hands...
