May 26, 9:00 a.m.

In the reception room of the church in the North Brook district.

Dewey and Father Tony were still the same as before, one sitting in a chair and the other behind a desk.

However, this time, Father Tony's expression was very solemn.

"Mr. Du Wei, you did a very good job this time, and the church has a very high opinion of you, and decided to let you be in charge of all the evil spirit events in New York, do you have any other thoughts on this?"

"No, but isn't it too fast?"

"This is a deliberate decision made by the church, you are better than James and them, and in this situation, there is basically no one more suitable than you."

"Okay, so what do I need to do? What do I get? ”

Hearing this, Father Tony nodded and said, "What you have to do is to solve the evil spirit incident in New York before the matter is resolved in Massus City. ”

"And in addition to the salary and benefits of the exorcists, you also have the exorcisms provided by the church."

As he spoke, under Du Wei's surprised gaze, Father Tony pulled out a rectangular wooden box.

When the box was opened, there was a black old-fashioned long-handled black umbrella.

It looks exactly like the black umbrella held by those evil spirits on the bus.

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, even if he didn't enter the state of spiritual vision, he could clearly feel the strange aura on this umbrella.

"What's the use of this thing?"

He glanced at it, there were too few items that could deal with evil spirits, and there were even more dangers to be faced in charge of evil spirit events throughout New York.

Father Tony took out the black umbrella, handed it to Du Wei and said: "This umbrella has a very ancient history, it is a product of the last century, it is said to be a favorite collection of nobles, it has also been circulated in the church for a long time, and the first person to use it is still related to you." ”

Du Wei took the black umbrella and said suspiciously: "Does it have anything to do with me?" ”

Father Tony nodded, "Yes, its first owner was Mr. Andrew Dowqua, but after he became a hunter, this umbrella was left to the other exorcists, and now its owner has become you again." ”

Du Wei's expression was a little strange, and he tilted his head sideways, indicating that he would like to continue.

Father Tony spoke again: "As long as you open this umbrella, ordinary evil spirits will not be able to do anything to you, which will help you a lot when dealing with evil spirit incidents, and this umbrella is very well made, you don't need to worry about it being damaged." ”

Du Wei looked at the black umbrella.

The whole umbrella surface is neat and clean, although it is a product of the last century, but there is no sign of wear and tear until now, which is enough to see that its former owner cherished it.

The entire handle is made of hardwood, and the straight surface is coated with a layer of lacquer, and when rubbing, the palm of the hand can clearly feel a faint coolness.

Du Wei put it aside, looked at Father Tony, and asked curiously, "To be honest, I'm curious about Mr. Andrew Dawqua, how did he become a hunter?" And why is the attitude of the church towards hunters so different now than it was in the last century? ”

Father Tony smiled bitterly and said, "In the church, these things are not allowed to be told to ordinary exorcists, but you should go to the church soon to report it, and you will know sooner or later." ”

So, he explained, "Hunters have gradually appeared since the last century, and they are anomalous changes in people who have entered the third stage of psionic vision, they are more similar to evil spirits, and they are more powerful. ”

"At that time, it was the heyday of the church, but later, as the hunters became more and more evil, their consciousness gradually began to be distorted, and there was hardly any trace of humanity in them."

"And when humanity disappears completely, it is also the last step of evil spirits, and the hunter will completely become evil spirits......"

"It's literally the kind of evil spirits that are more terrifying than ordinary evil spirits, and they deal a huge blow to the church."

"By now, you should be able to find that the church has weakened a lot, and there are only a thousand people in charge of exorcism, and some of them are joined halfway through by you."

A hint of clarity flashed in Du Wei's eyes, and he asked a question that he was most concerned about: "It sounds very regrettable, can't the hidden danger of evil spirits be solved?" ”

Father Tony was silent for a moment, as if contemplating whether to say or not.

Du Wei was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.

His words were all after thinking about it, and it was completely a normal reaction of an exorcist who was curious about hunters and sympathetic.

So there's no concern about what Father Tony will find.

Sure enough, after a while, Father Tony said in a complicated tone: "The chances of success are not very good...... The five hunters imprisoned in the church's dungeon are examples of success, but they often have problems. ”

"Actually, the Church is already planning to send a hunter to Massas."

Hearing this, Du Wei's pupils shrank: "What about when the matter is resolved?" What will happen to the hunter? Still locked up in a dungeon? ”

Father Tony sighed and said, "Of course they will be locked up, they are all on the verge of losing control and can't stay outside for too long." ”

"Didn't they complain?"

"They all have problems with their consciousness and have very little time to be awake, but I can tell you that the church is not hiding these problems when it helps them solve their hidden problems."

"They all volunteered."

"Well, it's a desperate world."

Du Wei's tone was a little complicated, and he had a feeling of not vomiting and unhappy in his heart.

From coming into contact with evil spirits to becoming an exorcist, the time he experienced was very short, but the image was very profound.

The church is not as strong as it could have imagined, and has even gone into the twilight.

The evil spirits, on the other hand, have never weakened, and there is no balance at all.

This is also based on the population base, and the proportion of evil spirits is pitifully small, otherwise, no one can survive in this world.

But at this time, Father Tony shook his head at Du Wei and said slowly in a deep tone: "Mr. Du Wei, this world may make people feel sad, but it is not hopeless. ”

"The church is already working on a way to keep hunters self-aware."

Hearing this, Du Wei agreed and said, "Okay, this is good news, but why do you know so much secret information?" This doesn't seem to be the same as what you said earlier. ”

Father Tony smiled awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't hide it from you anymore, in fact, this is the last time you investigated the information about the bus, my status in the church has improved a little, so I can know this." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Du Wei and asked with some curiosity, "You are very interested in hunters?" ”

Du Wei said lightly: "Why not?" Mr. Andrew saved me once in a sense, you know? ”

Father Tony actually just asked casually, and when he saw Du Wei answer, he was no longer curious.

Then he stood up and rubbed his waist, he was old, and his waist was not very good.

And Du Wei is also combing through the information, and he has a bit of a headache now.

There seems to be a solution to the hidden danger on the part of the church, but for the time being, it is still in the experimental stage, and the chances of success are not very good.

The point is that the Church's attitude towards hunters comes from Father Tony's mouth, in other words, one-sided.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, or had learned about it, Du Wei still didn't plan to reveal his identity.

A hunter who has not completely lost control, once discovered by the church, according to the current situation, I am afraid that it will most likely become a tool to deal with evil spirits.

Or is it a test product?

An exorcist force is so jealous of the top exorcism power inside, which precisely means extreme weakness inside.

Thinking of this, Du Wei asked Father Tony his own question.

He crossed his hands and looked at him obscurely: "By the way, the Vida Sect has attacked me, and I have encountered a corpse that is suspected to be an evil spirit." ”

"What?"

Father Tony was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked to Du Wei's side and hurriedly said, "You mean the corpse?" Isn't it like a dry corpse, with all the organs hollowed out? ”

Du Wei thought about the corpse that had been dissected by himself at home, and said with a strange face: "Hmm...... Pretty much, but I've fixed it, and I'm curious what this thing is all about. ”

Father Tony took a deep breath and said angrily, "That's blasphemy, the Vidahs are a bunch of people who deserve to go to hell...... They're really damned! ”

Syllable......

Father Tony couldn't help but slam the table.

Then he said in a hateful tone: "That corpse must have killed many people in his lifetime, so he is the material chosen by the Vida Sect. ”

"Materials?"

"Yes, his soul would be tormented, and it would be enshrined in something, often a weapon used to kill, and the Church of Vader put information about the person to be killed into the corpse's chest through some curse-like method."

"The more specific the message, the faster the body will find its target."

"And this kind of thing, called an evil corpse within the church, is not an evil spirit, but it has some similar properties."

……

After Du Wei left the church, he had a black umbrella and a kit about the suspected evil spirits.

After receiving the benefits from the church, he also had to solve some troubles.

However, according to Father Tony, this matter is not troublesome, and even the existence of evil spirits is ambiguous.

So he was going to take advantage of the time he had now, and when it was evening, he would deal with the Vidats.

When the time comes, he will give Vida a big surprise to the people of Vader.

Calling a car, Du Wei instructed the driver: "Go to Goliath Winery......"

Then, he sat down in the back seat and opened the bag.

[Goliath Winery is located in the western suburbs of New York, and its owner is Goliath Victor, a 31-year-old divorced woman, who encountered some anomalies a few days ago, and she found that there was an invisible person in the winery......]
