Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 411 - : 408. Plans Disrupted (Two Chapters Combined)_2

Chapter 411: 408. Plans Disrupted (Two Chapters Combined)_2

…

[At the beginning of the century, a fire broke out at Esselgreen’s Maria Maternity Hospital. All of the babies were taken away by people from the Veda Sect, and thus began their plan to create Evil Spirits.]

[Twenty years later, the case was solved by Exorcist Du Wei and Tom, bringing a closure to the incident, but some of the unaccounted babies were still hidden in various cities.]

[In May, Roy’s death triggered a series of subsequent events, with over 20 Veda Sect members either dead or injured.]

[In June·Victor family’s heir joined the Veda Sect, resulting in 174 deaths, with the remaining cultists being imprisoned in a women’s penitentiary.]

[In June in Poland, the Veda Sect was scheming something locally, with over two hundred casualties.]

...

[On June 15th, Chief of Police Tom, upon investigating, discovered that the Veda Sect showed signs of activity in Scolyn City, suspected to be connected to the Veda Sect’s New York revenge case, with countless dead or injured.]

…

This file was extremely detailed.

Tom had recorded every bit of information he could investigate into it, with timelines stretching back to the last century.

Even the death toll of the Veda Sect was clearly listed.

That was a bit of an exaggeration…

Du Wei couldn’t help but admit the file was quite useful to him.

It was the smoking gun against the Veda Sect.

Simply linking any Evil Spirit incident to the Veda Sect would surely touch the church’s sensitive nerves.

Tom was unaware of Du Wei’s plan.

He spoke, “The information recorded in the file is actually incomplete. I uncovered something else yesterday. Not long ago, people from the Veda Sect spent a considerable amount of time in Massas City.”

“As you know, that place is now sealed off by the church, and it’s unknown what they are up to.”

…

Hearing this, Du Wei narrowed his eyes, “Massas City? Are you certain?”

That place was extremely dangerous.

Filled with Strangeness, even the Evil Spirits seemed utterly harmless there.

Truthfully, Massas City was the one place in the world Du Wei would prefer not to visit.

It was tantamount to hell on Earth.

Tom took a drag of his cigarette and said, “Of course I’m certain, I’m the Chief of Police now, no longer needing to go out on patrol. I have been keeping an eye on the Veda Sect’s movements. Recently, they passed through the intersection of Esselgreen and Yard City’s crossroads.”

“But after Massas City was sealed off, the church stationed many people there, preventing them from getting in.”

This was a matter of great concern.

Three powers had once stayed in Massas City: the Veda Sect, the church, and the Dusk Bell.

The Veda Sect was the first to enter.

No one knew what they wanted to do.

Du Wei could only speculate that it might have something to do with their goal of creating Evil Spirits.

This was an unexpected piece of good news.

There was no need to contrive an Evil Spirit infestation anymore; just informing the church of this news would be enough.

Towards Massas City, the church was absolutely intolerant.

Because once something goes wrong with that city, it wouldn’t just be hundreds or thousands dying; it could very possibly lead to the downfall of nearby cities as well.

Du Wei took a deep breath and said to Tom earnestly, “I will report this matter to the church, and if there’s any new information on your side, you must tell me immediately.”

Tom was stunned, “What do you mean? Are you planning to take action against the Veda Sect?”

“If so, please be sure to bring me along. I fucking despise those crazy women.”

Du Wei solemnly said, “This is none of your concern, and it’s not much of my business either. The church will handle it.”

…

June 19th.

Upon receiving Du Wei’s report, the church exploded into chaos.

At present.

The church’s Exorcists were barely enough to handle Evil Spirit incidents. It was one or two people in charge of a city, taking turns.

It could be said that the church itself was already in a painful spot.

Yet the Veda Sect seemed to be eyeing Massas City, which was like adding fuel to the fire.

Exorcists were needed to deal with Evil Spirits.

But to take on the Veda Cult required no Exorcists.

A single Hunter was enough to settle those Evil Corpses, and together with ordinary cultists, they could deliver a severe blow to the Veda Sect.

Still, the church was in a wait-and-see stance; they needed solid evidence.

…

And at this moment.

Du Wei drove towards Massas City.

On the passenger seat of the car lay a brand-new backpack.

Aside from the map, it held all his belongings, even the painting that hung above his bedroom bed had been taken down.

He now needed to confirm that there were no issues at Massas City.

And to solidify the case against the Veda Sect.

The car sped along rapidly.

About four hours later,

Du Wei arrived near Massas City.

But he didn’t go straight there; instead, he took a detour and drove along a different road.

According to Tom, the small path taken by the Veda Sect was the same one Du Wei had walked before.

He parked the car in a small nearby grove.

Du Wei broke off some branches and leaves to cover it.

Then, he began searching for decisive evidence.

There was no need to call up the church members stationed near Massas City, as encountering people from the Veda Sect would complicate matters if it came to a confrontation.

…

Before long…

Du Wei spotted traces left by people from the Veda Sect.

In Spirit Vision,

he saw some unusual auras.

Faint and chilly, with a slimy sensation, much like the discomfort of snakes lurking in the shadows.

And these strange auras were in the woods on either side of the road.

After thinking it over, Du Wei took a handgun from his pocket and put on his mask.

He needed to be ready to cast darkness at any moment.

Soon

he entered the woods.

Then, Du Wei’s gaze settled on a dead tree.

It was a tall birch,

possibly twenty meters in height.

It had died, standing out oddly amidst the surrounding lush birch trees.

Aside from this one, the other birches were normal, full of life.

On this tree trunk was a hexagram, cleverly hidden, practically undetectable at a glance.

“The mark of the Veda Sect…”

Du Wei’s eyes narrowed as he looked down toward the spot where the tree’s roots met the soil, which looked freshly disturbed as if someone had dug it up and refilled it.

The anomalies seen in Spirit Vision were below ground.

He crouched down and, after ensuring that no one was nearby, began digging at the earth with a sturdy twig…

But as soon as he started,

when the soil was brought up, Du Wei caught a whiff of a bloody scent.

“There are bodies…”

Du Wei silently said to himself, speeding up his actions.

It didn’t take long before

a head appeared before him.

Slightly balding, it was face up, with the nose, mouth, eyes, and ears all stitched shut with needle and thread. Blood had seeped into the soil, giving it a hideous look.

Du Wei prodded the head with the twig, but it didn’t move at all.

Clearly,

it was not just a severed head, but an entire body buried there, possibly even buried alive.

Du Wei looked at the body buried in the ground.

He fell silent for a while, then walked deeper into the birch grove.

…

One after another, dead birches appeared, each marked with the hexagram of the Veda Sect.

Under each tree, bodies were buried in the same manner.

The entire grove of birches became more eerie and terrifying.

Du Wei looked up.

Evening had arrived, and night was falling.

The cold dismal aura grew stronger.

In Spirit Vision,

Du Wei even saw ghosts flitting by…

“I hate the Veda Sect.”

Grinding his teeth, Du Wei took out his phone and called the church members stationed near Massas City.

“This is your Deputy Chief Judge Du Wei. I’m currently in a birch grove northeast of Massas City. Send someone to search near Massas City for dried-up trees. There might be bodies buried beneath those trees.”

“Once you find any, please notify me and record the locations in detail.”

“The Veda Sect might be planning to release all the evil from Massas City.”
