Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation
Chapter 178: All black households (additional update)In the church.
Du Wei held a broom and began to clean up traces left after the exorcism.
On the other side was Father Tony, handing a pair of trousers to Tom.
"Mr. Du Wei, you seem to have become more formidable than before, and at this rate, I think you might become the youngest bishop in the history of the church,” said Father Tony.
Father Tony’s praise was heartfelt.

He had witnessed Du Wei, a man once targeted by an Evil Spirit, transforming into an extremely capable exorcist step by step.
What was most impressive was that it hadn’t taken long.
This made Father Tony marvel, and he could only surmise that Du Wei was naturally suited to be an exorcist.
After all, among those he had seen, there was no one more composed or more rational and intelligent than this man.Upon hearing this, Du Wei just smiled and did not take it to heart.
His relationship with the church was rather awkward at the moment.
All the friendliness and attention were based on the premise that he was not a hunter.
Should his identity be exposed, certainly uncontrollable situations would arise.
After all, Du Wei was just one person, while the church was an organization with religious faith.
If the church turned against him, the situation would become very passive.
Thinking of this, Du Wei changed the subject, bringing up the Veda Sect: “Previously on the bus, I encountered an Evil Spirit that seemed to be related to the Veda Sect. This cult organization appears to possess some illogical abilities, like creating Evil Spirits, or something similar, artificially.”
"What we know so far is that, right before their death, the group of Veda Sect cultists in New York did something terrifying, and we are completely in the dark about it.”
"Therefore, we need some external help.”
Speaking of this, Du Wei paused before looking at Father Tony again: “Are the two bishops going to arrive tomorrow?”
Previously, Father Tony had reported the incident at Goliath Winery to the church, and two bishops would come to New York with some people to investigate the matter.
Father Tony replied, “They will arrive, but do you plan to ask for their help? That seems somewhat inappropriate.”
Du Wei frowned, “Why?”
Father Tony explained, “The bishops in the church mostly handle important matters, some are responsible for exorcisms, others for a variety of chaotic affairs. The situation at Dusk Bell Church is rather special, and the matter with the Veda Sect needs to be discussed internally before making a decision.”
Du Wei shook his head: “That’s a waste of time.”
Father Tony gave a bitter smile: “No choice, the church has always been this way, its organization is very bloated.”
Upon hearing this, Du Wei had no choice but to give up on leveraging the church’s power, and turned to Tom who was beside him: “Has the police found anything about the people of the Veda Sect?”
Tom’s brow furrowed deeply: “We’ve only found the tracks of these lunatics’ activities, but haven’t made many discoveries. If I have to say something unusual, it’s that they all have good figures.”
He wasn’t joking.
Tom spoke very seriously: “It seems the cultists of the Veda Sect have a tendency for self-harm, and their members are all women with great figures and relatively beautiful features. However, a strange point is that we haven’t been able to find any identity information on them. In other words, these people are unregistered.”
Hearing this, Du Wei fell into deep thought.
The Veda Sect was obviously different from some ordinary cults; they worshipped what was called the Veda and possessed some eerie abilities.
However, not many people had these uncanny abilities; the only person Du Wei had met was a bishop named Ruth.
Father Tony and Tom saw Du Wei pondering and did not disturb him.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
After a while, Du Wei spoke tentatively, “Young and beautiful women seem to be a common link. The woman who hanged herself, she must have been beautiful too, right?”
Tom immediately replied, “Yes, she was the only one who could make me forget about the Red Light District.”
Du Wei knew what the Red Light District meant to Tom and naturally did not doubt the truthfulness of his words.
Therefore, he said, “In that case, have you found out any information about the victim and her social network?”
If the Veda Sect had chosen to act against this woman, then there must have been something special about her. As long as they followed this lead, they were certain to find something.
After thinking for a moment, Tom said, “The information had already been gathered when the case was filed. I remember it clearly; her name was Joanna, 27 years old, a professional accountant, but she had quit her job before the suicide.”
"Joanna seemed to have no friends. She came to New York by herself. As for her parents, they live in Esselgreen.”
"Oh, and her parents seemed to be part of a ghost-hunting TV show. They were quite famous on the local channels in the last century and even recorded a lot of strange things on camera, but afterward, it all faded into obscurity.”
Having said that, Tom looked at Du Wei and sighed, “That’s all I know. Do you have any thoughts?”
Du Wei frowned, “What was the reaction of her parents when they found out their daughter had died?”
Tom spread his hands, “I don’t know because the phone number was disconnected.”
"Alright…”
Du Wei pondered for a moment and said, “Previously, Joanna’s death was ruled a suicide, and everything seemed normal, but in fact, it was orchestrated by the Veda Sect. We also need to continue investigating her parents.”
"As for New York, you can filter through the police system for families with a paranormal background. Once a family has a young and beautiful female member, they might already have been targeted by the Veda Sect.”
"This matter is very serious because before this, members of the Veda Sect might have acted against many people. To make matters worse, in other cities, many similar incidents could have happened, we just don’t know about them.”
Father Tony also realized the gravity of the situation and said solemnly, “I will turn your speculations into a document and send it to the church. I believe the church will take immediate action.”
Officer Tom was also quite angry, “These crazy women are simply devils, they should go to hell.”
Feeling somewhat oppressed, Du Wei said, “The priority is to ensure the safety of New York. So Tom, you need to be quick with your work. The sooner we find people who have had contact with the Veda Sect, the less trouble there will be in the future.”
Tom nodded firmly, imprinting the matter deeply in his mind.
He now despised the Veda Sect even more than Du Wei did.
This damn cult had killed his beautiful neighbor, whom he liked, and also created a terrifying Evil Spirit, almost driving him out of his mind with fear.
This grudge was substantial…
Tom looked at Du Wei seriously, his teeth clenched as he said, “I promise you, within three days, I will definitely have results!”
