In the hospital ward, Du Wei took out his phone and saw that the caller was his girlfriend, Alex.
He shook his head, could only give an apologetic smile to the others, and said, “I’m going to step out to take a call.”
The two bishops nodded, “Please, feel free.”
…
He stepped out of the ward and pressed the answer button on his phone.
Alex’s pleasant voice came through his ear, “Baby, I’m almost in New York. Have you eaten yet?”
Du Wei dutifully reported, “I had breakfast, but not lunch yet, because I’m at the hospital right now.”
"Ah? At the hospital? What happened? Are you sick?”
Alex’s tone immediately became anxious, “Which hospital are you in? I’ll drive over right now.”
Du Wei couldn’t help but smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here with some people from the church to see Victor, there are some things I need to ask her about.”Alex let out an ’oh’ and said, “Does that mean you’ll be busy all day today? I miss you a bit.”
Du Wei replied awkwardly, “But I can’t just leave the people from the church and go find you, that would be very impolite.”
Alex snorted, “I’m not that capricious. Anyway, you do your thing first, just remember to find me when you’re done. I have a lot to tell you.”
Hearing this, Du Wei felt a warmth in his heart, “Actually, I’m just going through the motions here. The people from the church came to understand the details of the event, but they have other matters to attend to.”
Alex laughed, “Then in that case, come straight to my place when you’re done. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”
Du Wei raised an eyebrow, “What luxury item did you buy this time?”
Alex replied somewhat displeased, “Mr. Du Wei, in your eyes, am I just a woman who spends money? That would be too unromantic.”
Du Wei was at a loss for words.
He wanted to say yes, but his survival instincts made him give the correct answer, “I should be done by noon. I’ll come to find you at your place, I miss you too.”
Alex hummed, “Although I can’t hear the eagerness in your voice, your words satisfy me. Remember to come over early.”
"Got it, baby.”
…
At this moment.
On the highway to New York.
After hanging up the phone, Alex made another call to a high-class couple’s restaurant she had purchased.
Soon, the phone connected.
The respectful voice of the restaurant manager came through, “Miss Alex, may I assist you with anything?”
Alex spoke indifferently, “My boyfriend and I are planning to have lunch at home. Can your restaurant prepare Chinese food?”
The manager paused and then responded, “We can prepare it, but may I know if your boyfriend has any dietary restrictions?”
Alex frowned, “He doesn’t seem to be fussy. Forget it… I’ll have one of each dish, please remember to make it a bit more exquisite.”
The manager replied respectfully, “Of course, when roughly will you and your boyfriend be dining?”
Alex answered, “Around 12 o’clock.”
After speaking, Alex hung up the phone.
Her mood had been very good lately; she had confirmed her relationship with Du Wei and had even visited home, where her parents took an interest in Du Wei.
Being able to satisfy herself and her family was something that made Alex very happy.
Plus, she truly missed Du Wei.
A woman in love feels that even a single day apart from her boyfriend seems too long.
Alex tossed her phone onto the passenger seat.
On the seat, there was also a stack of documents, with the first page being a scanned black-and-white image of an Antique Clock and some text descriptions.
On her trip home, she not only saw her parents but also harnessed her family’s energy to look into the antiques from the Berson Auction House.
Although Avery didn’t understand what Du Wei was doing, she was very clear that dealing with Evil Spirits must be extremely dangerous.
So, what she had in mind was to avoid adding trouble to Du Wei to the greatest extent possible and to support him with her abilities.
…
Noon.
Du Wei and two bishops walked out of the Goliath Winery.
"The specifics of the matter are pretty much this, the actions of the people at Dusk Bell Church have been excessive, and we’ll convey what we’ve learned to the church.”
Slivka shook hands with Du Wei as they said goodbye, “Plus, you have that Joker Card, which harbors a part of the Evil Spirit. Although it can counter the Evil Spirit, it’s also very dangerous, so I suggest you handle it with care.”
Du Wei expressed his gratitude, “I will, thank you for your advice.”
Slivka smiled and said, “Alright, we need to head off to Esselgreen. If it weren’t for the rush, we could have had a meal together.”
Du Wei smiled and replied, “There will definitely be other opportunities in the future.”
Slivka shrugged and got into the car with Jon, then drove off.
Once they had left, Du Wei’s expression settled into calmness.
The matter at Goliath Winery was concluded, but the troubles surrounding him had yet to be resolved.
He reviewed the current issues at hand.
Firstly, the curse from The Nun had not shown any significant outbursts recently, so it could be temporarily ignored.
Next was the problem with Evil Spirit Du Wei. Although he had set a trap for it, it would become completely ineffective once he entered the Lake of Mind again. Experience tales at Novgo
Furthermore, Evil Spirit Du Wei had a contingency in place, James had already been influenced by it.
"The trap I’ve set for it can only trick it once, sending it into chaos.”
"But I could use the method that created the Masked Evil Spirit to counter Evil Spirit Du Wei. I need an Evil Spirit related to mirrors, and its mechanism has to be similar to that of the mask’s, or otherwise, it would be hard to succeed.”
"It looks like I’ll need to ask Father Tony to help me keep an eye out for similar Evil Spirit events within the church.”
"Also, regarding my identity as a hunter, I need to find an Evil Spirit and in the presence of church members, transform from an Exorcist to a Hunter right before them, so the church won’t be too wary of me.”
Saying this, Du Wei couldn’t help but have a strange look in his eyes.
"I always feel like from the beginning till now, it’s been me looking for trouble with Evil Spirits, rather than Evil Spirits troubling me…”
This was dangerous and crazy…
Du Wei shook his head, opened the car door, and rushed towards Avery’s home.
…
Half an hour later.
Du Wei arrived at the Furman District.
The security here had a deep impression of him, so after a brief inquiry, they let him through.
Upon reaching Avery’s front door, Du Wei pressed the doorbell.
Soon, he heard the sound of the door unlocking and footsteps.
There were two doors at Avery’s place.
Therefore, when the sound of the door opening was heard again, Du Wei saw Avery standing behind it, her face filled with excitement.
Avery was dressed in a beige oversized sweatshirt today, with casual knee-length shorts, revealing her long, fair and beautiful legs. Her facial features were already delicate, and with light makeup, she looked even more beautiful.
Du Wei couldn’t help but praised inwardly, he couldn’t deny that Avery looked particularly charming today.
"Good afternoon, Avery.”
"Please call me ’dear’… thank you.”
