Chapter 375: 372. Lurking
Jedecra State is located in the West.
Due to its relatively backward economic situation, the pace of life here is very slow.
After the plane Du Wei was on had landed,
he immediately felt the dryness of the air and the distinct temperature difference from New York.
It was just past seven in the morning.
But due to the time difference caused by the distance, it was still dark in Jedecra State.
...
This place was completely different from New York.
And Du Wei’s destination was in Jedecra State’s capital, Cross City.
Carrying his luggage and a backpack, he walked out of the airport.
And Du Wei stopped in his tracks.
A man in a black suit, his hair meticulously combed, carrying a briefcase, approached him.
“People often confuse vanity with glory, and shame with self-respect. Do you agree with this, sir?”
The man came over and asked this strange question.
Glancing at the man, Du Wei replied indifferently, “Vanity is not shameful but can lead one to lose their way. Only by staying true to oneself can one reach the shore of the spirit.”
It had to be said,
that Du Wei thought the Vanity Sect’s secret passphrase sounded incredibly awkward.
But the man didn’t seem to think so; he nodded at Du Wei and handed over the briefcase with respectful gestures.
“Respected Mr. Du Wei, this is something Lord Mercer asked me to give you. I wish you a pleasant journey.”
After speaking, and once Du Wei took the briefcase, the man bowed and backed away,
soon disappearing into the crowd.
Du Wei didn’t bother with the man, as his current goal was Cross City, where he was to “befriend” some Evil Spirits. He didn’t have time to deal with the affairs of the Vanity Sect for the moment.
Now,
Du Wei’s hands were each holding a suitcase and the briefcase, on top of carrying a backpack.
This made his movements somewhat inconvenient.
It looked a bit clumsy.
“I wonder if the person coming to pick me up has arrived at the airport yet.”
Speaking softly to himself, Du Wei, carrying his suitcase, headed towards the third floor of the airport, to the rest area seats by the expressway overpass.
Clack...
Both cases were placed on the ground, making a slight knocking sound.
Du Wei gave Weiss a smile, “No problem. I should be staying in Jedecra State for a few days; I hope we will get along well.”
Only then did Father Weiss breathe a sigh of relief, “Your patience is surprising.”
Originally, Father Weiss thought that the church would send at most one Elite Exorcist to handle the Evil Spirit incident in Jedecra State.
But to his astonishment, it was the Deputy Chief Judge of the Tribunal who came...
This made him very fearful.
However, seeing that Du Wei seemed easy to get along with, Father Weiss somewhat settled his nerves.
He said respectfully to Du Wei, “Please get in the car with me. I will take you to the grand cathedral in Cross City; many are waiting for you already.”
Du Wei nodded, “Alright.”
After saying this, he picked up his luggage and climbed aboard.
Father Weiss humbly said to him, “Please give me your luggage. I’ll place it in the trunk for you.”
Du Wei glanced at him and responded, “That won’t be necessary; I am not particularly fond of others touching my things.”
Whether it was the backpack or the two suitcases, the contents were not something that should be handled by others.
Father Weiss immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, that was presumptuous of me.”
...
In the car.
Father Weiss was focused on driving.
Du Wei sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window, contemplating his plans for the coming days.
After a while, Father Weiss’s mobile phone suddenly rang. He hastily pressed the answer button and turned his head to give Du Wei an embarrassed smile.
“Please feel free,”
Du Wei waved his hand at him.
Only then did Father Weiss press the answer button and begin speaking.
“Josh, your issue is being handled by the church. Our Deputy Chief Judge has arrived and will be dealing with your situation soon.”
The voice on the other end sounded pained, “You better hurry, because that devil has set its sights on my child. We’ve moved twice already, and it’s been utterly useless.”
Then there was a busy tone.
At that moment, Du Wei raised an eyebrow. The church’s information had included this man named Josh, who was a teacher.
And last week, he and his family had moved to a new home.
Unexpectedly, they were targeted by an Evil Spirit, and the issue had only been reported to the church in the last two days.
But the church’s information also mentioned one more detail—this person had been targeted by an Evil Spirit at the age of eight, only that time the exorcism had been successful...
