Chapter 323: 321, Best Undercover
Switzerland, headquarters of the Dusk Bell Church.
Unlike New York, the weather in this city was not very good, with a constant drizzle.
From time to time, there were flashes of lightning.
In the underground room, Ryan’s room.
Drip drip...
The sound of footsteps arose.
The next second, the door was pulled open abruptly.
Ryan, dressed in a white lab coat, walked out, his eyes dark as if he hadn’t slept well, his hair a mess, yet he did not give off a sense of decrepitude.
As an idealistic, goal-oriented “psychiatrist.”
For a long time, Ryan had been living a monotonous life day after day.
Back when he was at Hill Psychiatric Hospital, his daily routine was unchanging.
He would sleep in the ward, patrol the hospital for patients trying to escape, and regularly report to the director at scheduled times.
But Ryan never grew weary of it.@@@@
Because to him, that was his life.
The thoughts of the mentally ill tend to be very simple and direct; they have their own logic, but it’s completely different from that of normal people.
Difficult for others to understand.
But ever since Ryan met his director Du Wei, life had completely changed.
A promotion and a raise were just within reach.
Suddenly, from the darkness behind Ryan, a dull voice sounded, “Where do you think you’re going so late?”
From the shadows emerged a man in priest’s attire, bald with a cross-like symbol tattooed on his scalp, roughly 40 years old.
Ryan stiffened, standing in place, yet he twisted his neck backward.
Upon recognizing the newcomer, his expression became extremely arrogant, “I am thinking of going out to take a piss. Do you have a problem with that, Cruz?”
His words were truthful, but in reality, Ryan intended to find James and deal with an Evil Spirit incident.
Only achievements could secure his rapid ascent within Dusk Bell.
And all that, for a future promotion and raise.
The man known as Cruz’s face darkened, “Your room has a bathroom, why would you need to go out to pee, and can’t you be a bit more civilized? You are now a hunter of the Dusk Bell; you represent the image of the Dusk Bell!”
Actually, Cruz’s job was somewhat similar to James’s.
The only difference was that he was responsible for monitoring Ryan, while James was in charge of all Ryan’s affairs within the Dusk Bell.
Ryan, with disdain, spat out, “I want to use the bathroom in someone else’s room. Got a problem with that?”
Cruz took a step back, troubled, “It’s so late, most people are asleep. What if you disturb someone, and they take a swing at you?”
Hearing this, Ryan was stunned.
Ryan arrived at James’s room, the door shut tight.
But to him, this was no obstacle at all.
After Ryan chose to join the Dusk Bell, for some reason, he suddenly found himself able to use his hunter abilities.
It was like an empowerment that came with his status.
Whether it was the Evil Spirit Transformation or hunter abilities, it was like second nature to him.
Moreover, his ability was not limited to disabling other hunters’ Evil Spirit Transformation, as the Dusk Bell had thought.
To be precise, disabling others’ Evil Spirit Transformation was just one aspect of his power.
His power was built on his own cognition.
At will...
Therefore, when he reached the door, Ryan didn’t stop.
In the next second.
He walked through the door, defying reality, and into the room.
...
At that moment.
James was sleeping in his room; his previously intractable eyes, for some reason, were not showing that eerie state anymore.
Now his eyes were tightly closed, his forehead full of sweat, and his body was shivering slightly.
Clearly, his sleep quality was poor.
Ever since he arrived in Switzerland and his body lost control, blood seeping from the corners of his eyes, a vague voice had been echoing in his mind.
He felt he might have been targeted by some peculiar entity.
It wanted him to do something.
He was anxious and uneasy...
But even after consulting many documents within the Dusk Bell Church, he hadn’t found any similar records, so he had to suppress this unease in his heart.
Suddenly...
In his sleep, James heard a rustling sound of water...
He was a light sleeper, so his eyes snapped open immediately, wary, but his gaze remained eerily calm.
In the bathroom, there was a blurred figure in a white lab coat.
James quickly sat up in bed, and as he walked toward the bathroom, he pulled a defensive dagger from his pocket.
But at that moment, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Ryan stuck his head out, grinning, “You’re awake? It’s time for us to go out and deal with the Evil Spirit.”
