Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

"During the two hundred years of Crusades in church history, many heretical religions were eradicated, among them was the precursor to the Veda Sect.”

"With the emergence of the Veda Sect, the Church started to pay more attention to this cult and, by combining some historical documents, obtained what they call information about Veda.”

"The Church believes that Veda is a general term, a conceptual entity.”

"It could be an Evil Spirit or a Demon Spirit, it might also be a demon, or something else entirely.”

"But to this day, the Church hasn’t got a precise definition of Veda because it may not exist in this world.”

…

The above was Slivka’s words.

After listening, Du Wei asked with heavy suspicion, “Not existing in this world, does that mean there are other worlds beyond the world we live in?”

When the topic escalates to the level of worlds, many things would become completely different.

If there’s another world out there, it would overturn everyone’s values and the concept of self-awareness.

While humans are a collective concept, they possess a strong sense of individuality, each person unique in their own right.

Experiences from childhood and the understanding of the world contribute to forming a complete worldview.

If a strange new world were introduced, the impact on self-awareness would be immense.

At that moment, Slivka also offered an explanation.

He shook his head and said, “Veda doesn’t exist in this world; it’s the product of a concept, possibly existing in many people’s consciousness, dreams, or their darker sides.”

"It’s… It’s a concept, Mr. Du Wei, you probably understand what I mean?”

There was an unusual tone in Du Wei’s voice as he said, “I do understand…”

According to Slivka, the nun, Pennywise, might well be what’s referred to as Veda. Hence the use of the collective term ‘Vedas’ to describe them.

But if this is true, wouldn’t the Evil Spirit Du Wei also be a Veda?

It has the ability to affect everything that mimics it, even the people it has come into contact with, and can also communicate in the lake of the mind.

In a sense, the Evil Spirit Du Wei is a cultist of the Veda Sect, worshipping and attempting to communicate with a god…

Only, this god carries absolute malice.

Thinking this, Du Wei’s expression became even more peculiar. He shook his head and, pointing to the door chained against the basement wall, asked, “You just mentioned that this door is related to Veda. Am I right to think that if we open this door, we could get in touch with the Vedas?”

Slivka frowned and said, “I can’t be sure, but since the door has existed for so long without being opened, it is definitely very dangerous. Perhaps opening it could lead to terrifying events.”

Jon, who had been quiet, spoke in a grave voice, “Enough about the door. We need to take it back to the Church. As for what the Church will do with it, that’s not for us to consider. There will be specialized people in charge when the time comes.”

He then took out two pairs of white gloves from his person and casually handed a pair to Du Wei.

Slivka also took out a pair of gloves and, while putting them on, said: “These gloves are produced internally by the Church, and they are generally only available to bishops who are Exorcists. They can prevent the invasion of Evil Spirits. Of course, you can also use them as normal gloves, even though they don’t keep warm…”

After accepting the gloves thoughtfully, Du Wei put them on and then said, “There are other people outside; lifting it out just like that will definitely cause problems. We need some protective measures.”

Jon nodded and said, “Exactly, which is why when you asked us to go to the Church in Esselgreen to resupply with Bone Powder, we also took the opportunity to bring some pure white cloth.”

Saying this, he took a very thin cloth from the suitcase he carried and draped it over the door.

The surface of the cloth was slightly transparent, allowing the flashlight’s beam to penetrate directly and shine on the door.

That presence, which seemed capable of affecting the mind, was abruptly blocked off.

"This device is also specially made, very convenient to carry, but there’s nothing like it in New York because there’s no bishop there…”

Slivka said this and also gave Du Wei a meaningful glance.

This man had once had the chance to become the youngest bishop in the history of the Church.

Some antiquated rules only apply to ordinary people and not to exorcists with greater potential.

However, this changed fundamentally after Du Wei became a hunter.

After all, the Church nowadays believes that hunters should not possess too much power.

Du Wei noticed Slivka’s meaningful look as well, but he did not say much. Instead, he simply nodded and joined Jon in moving the door.

Upon touching it, they could feel a chill, and the urge to remove the lock and open the door grew stronger.

It was as if a voice full of temptation and demonic intent was murmuring non-stop in their minds, even inducing a sense of being hypnotized…

But Du Wei was not affected in the least; he was inherently extremely calm, and due to his profession, it was hard for him to be influenced mentally.

The confrontations, be they with nuns or Evil Spirits, were mostly spiritual.

And this was his forte.

On the other hand, both Slivka and Jon looked somewhat unwell—Jon was slightly better off, but Slivka’s face was flushed, and his eyes seem somewhat revitalized.

And this was still the door covered with gloves and a white cloth.

Without these precautions, it would probably be impossible for ordinary people to even touch it; otherwise, their minds would definitely be twisted.

Thus, Du Wei exerted more effort, and together the three of them lifted the door.

This scene, in the eyes of the two bishops, fit the performance of a hunter perfectly—strong, terrifying, and with unwavering resolve.

But suddenly, just at that moment, a cold breeze blew over…

Cold and sinister.

Yet it shouldn’t be possible for any wind to get into the poorly ventilated basement…

Du Wei’s eyes turned chillingly cold, and as he turned his head, he saw that behind this door, at the wall, there was a human-shaped hollow space…

The wall had been hollowed out…

The cavity was dark and deep, like an invisible gaping maw ready to consume anyone who entered…

"What’s going on?”

Slivka exclaimed in shock, his brow furrowed as he looked at the hollow space, his expression terribly conflicted.

Jon said solemnly, “It looks like a passageway; was the door being used to block this channel?”

But Du Wei shook his head, “No, it’s not to block the passageway, but I fear it serves as a link. Open the door and you’ll see the passage behind.”

Instinctively, Du Wei felt a deep aversion to the passageway; the very narrow space itself was suffocating, the more narrow it was, the more oppressive it felt.

In the event of danger, there would be no chance of survival.

But all of a sudden…

Du Wei saw that Slivka’s eyes had become unfocused, and his breathing had grown rapid, as he stuck his head forward into the narrow, human-shaped passageway…
