Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 328: 326, Plan to start

12:30 AM.

In the heart of Poland City, the Sofitel Hotel.

Du Wei and Tom stayed in a suite on the 9th floor, which had a spacious layout with two separate bedrooms and a living room.

Looking out the window, they could see the amusement park under the night sky.

However, due to the distance, Du Wei could only see its outline vaguely.

“We still have to check it out.”

He gazed out the window, silently contemplating.

According to the information provided by the church, that thing concerning dreams harbors malice toward the living, capable of killing people in their dreams.

Moreover, it is some kind of musical instrument, and its form might be related to this.

“Perhaps, it conceals a terrible Evil Spirit.”

Du Wei said, then another question surfaced in his mind.

The Veda Sect has been active in Poland for a long time; they couldn’t possibly be unaware that the amusement park’s predecessor was Elm Street.

Yet, they still chose to take control of this amusement park.

On the surface, it seems they did so for profit, after all, Cults need money to operate.

But upon closer examination, something doesn’t quite add up.

“Could the amusement park have been built by them, and is their objective related to that thing?”

Du Wei asked himself; from his encounters with the Veda Sect, this Cult always seemed very unconventional.

They research Evil Spirits, they create Evil Spirits.

The use of the Marking Ability was also inspired by the Veda Sect.

To say the Veda Sect has no designs on that thing, Du Wei simply couldn’t believe it.

“Are they researching it, or are they trying to find it?”

If it was the former, then Du Wei would have to engage directly with the Veda Sect, which would complicate things greatly.

If the latter, then Du Wei had gained another competitor.

This was also the Veda Sect’s territory.

Du Wei’s only advantage was that he currently acted from the shadows.

“And there’s Elm Street, which disappeared so easily in the fire; there seems to be something not quite right about the whole thing.”

As he was talking,

Tom walked out of the room wearing pajamas.

He casually picked up a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, lit one for himself, then gestured to Du Wei and said, “Hey, my friend, what are you thinking about?”

Du Wei turned his head and spoke indifferently, “I’m thinking about Elm Street, that ghostly thing, and their connection to the Veda Sect.”

Tom casually tossed the cigarettes to Du Wei and, lying on the couch, said, “Didn’t you decide not to make contact with the Veda Sect? We could just go directly to the amusement park tomorrow. You have Spirit Vision, so finding that kind of thing should be easy, right?”

Du Wei caught the cigarettes, pulled one out but didn’t light it, leaned against the window, and said with a frown, “Spirit Vision isn’t exclusive to me, people of the Veda Sect have it too, and if you come in contact with Evil Spirits often enough, you might get it as well.”

Tom, surprised, said, “If that’s the case, then the people of the Veda Sect having controlled the amusement park for so long should have discovered something, right?”

“Could it be that they have already found what you’re looking for?”

Du Wei replied, “I can’t exclude that possibility, but I feel the chances are slim.”

Tom blew a ring of smoke and casually asked, “Why?”

Du Wei lit the cigarette: “Based on what I know about them, if they had gotten their hands on that thing, they would definitely have found a way to control it and use it to accomplish their goals, but there haven’t been any reports of people dying in their dreams for nearly twenty years.”

As he spoke, his tone was already one of firm conviction.

Having no related information proves it didn’t fall into the hands of the Veda Sect.

Tom, understanding the implication, said with some distress, “I think I get what you mean, which is, you’re telling me that the Veda Sect might also be looking for that thing, but they haven’t found it in twenty years.”

Du Wei looked surprised, “You actually thought of that.”

Tom sneered, “Although I’m not a psychology major, keeping up with your train of thought isn’t a problem for me.”

Du Wei raised an eyebrow, “Then guess what I want to do now?”

Tom choked and stammered, “This… this I wouldn’t know.”

Du Wei exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze distant as he looked out of the window.

His eyes lingered on the outline of the amusement park for a long time.

This left Tom even more confused.

He could only wait quietly for Du Wei to speak.

After all, on this journey, his good brother was the leader.

As the deputy, all Tom needed to do was carry out tasks according to Du Wei’s instructions.

After a while,

Du Wei finished a cigarette, walked over to the coffee table, and stubbed out the butt in the ashtray.

He looked at Tom and calmly said, “The amusement park will close at 1:30 AM. By then, most of the Veda Sect people should have left, leaving only a very small number behind within the park.”

“Come with me and let’s see what they’re actually up to.”

Tom grimaced, “Do we have to start work as soon as we get off the plane? Isn’t that too rushed? Can’t we do it during the day?”

Du Wei patiently explained, “It’s more appropriate at night, plus do you really plan to sleep in the hotel? Don’t forget we’re being watched, and falling asleep will only lead to nightmares.”

“Nightmares, they will make it stronger.”

In fact, if Du Wei didn’t sleep, both Tom and the people in New York wouldn’t have nightmares.

Their rest would be normal.

But Du Wei didn’t want to tell Tom the truth, considering too many things were at stake.

And visiting during the daytime, what if they were recognized by someone from the Veda Sect?

The Veda Sect was so intent on killing him that they sent people to New York; he didn’t believe that there were no photos of him circulating within the Cult.@@novelbin@@

Tom was aware of the severity of the situation, too, so he perked up, stood up, and said, “I’ll go change now. Oh, I also brought some random stuff in my suitcase. Should I take that as well?”

On the way to the airport, Tom insisted on going home to grab his luggage, claiming that it might come in handy, so Du Wei had to make a detour back.

Curious, Du Wei asked, “Random stuff, what exactly did you bring?”

Tom proudly said, “Hidden cameras, listening devices, pretty much everything…”

This…

Sounds like it’s for committing a crime…

Du Wei’s mouth twitched, “Bring it, in case we need it.”

Tom nodded and quickly ran into his room.

Meanwhile, Du Wei casually picked up the backpack on the sofa, checking its contents—mask, lighter, Joker Card, flintlock gun were all inside, along with his handgun.

The new Black Umbrella was slotted on the side of the backpack.

As for the Coin, it was in Du Wei’s wallet.

He touched the mask, recalling how the original Dagger had become part of the Shadow, both now an integral whole.

Using the Shadow to kill was extremely easy.

“Hope I won’t need you, otherwise the Veda Sect might go insane…”
