The amusement park under the night sky, with only a few cultists on duty wandering around.

It looked cold and silent.

Cultist changing room.

A hand quietly pulled the door open from the inside, and a figure flashed by, swiftly darting into a dark corner nearby.

“Everything is set up.”

“Are you sure? It’s only been three minutes, right?”

In the darkness, Du Wei took out his phone for a glance at the time, somewhat skeptical whether Tom was just brushing him off.

Standing beside him, Tom said dismissively, “Three minutes is more than enough. I’ve outfitted more than twenty sets of clothes with listening devices and hidden cameras. It couldn’t be more of a breeze for me.”

This was something he was extremely skilled at.

With some concern, Du Wei said, “You didn’t mix up the clothes, did you? Make sure they’re installed in their ceremonial robes, not their work clothes.”

Tom nodded, “I definitely didn’t mess it up; I checked each piece of clothing carefully.”

Convinced, Du Wei hurriedly asked, “How far can we maintain a stable signal transmission?”

After some thought, Tom answered, “About a kilometer, I’d say. These cameras and listening devices are exclusively for our use – compact and concealed with very strong signals.”

Du Wei was completely reassured, “In that case, let’s leave the amusement park now and wait outside the fence for someone to put on those clothes.”

Tom chuckled, “I hope they give us a nice surprise.”

Approaching three o’clock.

A patrol unit of cultists in the amusement park returned to the changing room.

The leader was a blond, middle-aged Caucasian woman. Although she was older, her body was well-maintained without the usual weight gain characteristic of Caucasians.

“Everyone change and follow me to the ceremony. We must be there before four o’clock,” she ordered sternly, heading to her own locker as she spoke. After opening it, she took out a black hooded ceremonial robe. ʀΆΝŐβĘs̩

The other cultists were also young and beautiful women, each with a stunning figure and a pleasing face that made one’s heart flutter at first glance.

However, when these women stripped off their modest clothing, exposing large swathes of skin, many scars, large and small, were revealed.

It was a shocking sight…

The doctrine of the Veda Sect is pain and death, thus every cultist was infused with the notion of self-harm and torture.

Seeing the other women begin to change, the blond woman also went aside to change her clothes.

The amusement park at night was basically off-limits to outsiders.

Thus, they weren’t overly discreet.

But at that moment, the blond woman sniffed and said curiously, “Why do I feel like there’s a smell on my clothes?”

Somewhat irritating.

As if it had been contaminated with something.

Yet, after looking over it, she didn’t notice anything amiss.

The others were the same.

The blond woman could only shake her head, “Probably just not washed properly, I guess.”

She hadn’t noticed that in the interlayer of her clothes, a tiny black eavesdropping device was hidden, and through the knitted fabric at her collar, there was an invisible camera. However, the craftsmanship was so covert that it was virtually undetectable to anyone but a professional.

The power of technology wasn’t very useful against Evil Spirits.

But unexpectedly effective against humans.

Elsewhere.

Outside the amusement park.

Du Wei and Tom were leaning against the fence, carefully observing with an iPad connected to two earphones.

“A ceremony at four o’clock. Sounds like they’re up to some secretive stuff, and it seems it’s been going on for quite a while,” Du Wei murmured as he touched his earphone and pondered internally.

If people from the Veda Sect had only started performing their rituals recently, they wouldn’t be so leisurely. At the very least, their attitude wouldn’t allow them to wait until three o’clock to start changing their clothes.

This meant that the rituals they were about to perform could very well have started a long time ago.

Tom, who was beside her, stared intently at the screen and muttered to himself, “The damn Veda Sect, this cult is so disgusting. Their cultists even have such good figures and looks; this cult must be eradicated.”

God knows, Tom is still single to this day.

Aside from going to the Red Light District, he basically has no contact with women, at most he could interact with criminals.

Du Wei felt speechless towards Tom. He snatched the screen away and started looking at the image on it.

The signal coming from the invisible camera wasn’t as strong as Tom had said. It could also be because those cultists were moving, causing the image to be slightly choppy.

Moreover, it was late at night, and the images fed back were very dark, making many areas hard to see clearly.

“Just wait a bit longer.”

Du Wei silently said to himself that half an hour later, it would be four o’clock.

By then, they would be able to find out what the so-called ritual was all about.

Although the amount of information known so far was little.

Yet Du Wei had an intuition that the Veda Sect’s ritual was definitely related to that thing, and the location of the ritual was very likely where Elm Street used to be.

Time passed bit by bit.

About ten minutes later.

The image on the screen began to stabilize.

Du Wei saw the cultists, who had changed into “clothes,” arriving in front of a wall at the very back of the amusement park.

Through the earpiece, sporadic insect chirping could also be heard.

No one spoke.

Then, they saw a white woman walk up to the wall and gently knock three times.

Click…

A neat crack appeared in the wall; it turned out to be a special door…

Inside, a fire was burning.

The lights were bright.

This was a desolate area, but further ahead, there was another wall.

The Veda Sect seemed to have isolated this area.

More than thirty people from the Veda Sect were inside, kneeling and chanting scriptures in a low voice.

After the white woman and others entered, they too knelt on the ground and began chanting.

The direction they knelt towards was a withered banyan tree whose trunk was cracked, and some parts still bore signs of having been burned by fire.

And on the main trunk of the tree, there was also a charred signpost nailed to it, with several characters imprinted on the blackened steel material.

Du Wei stared at the screen and looked carefully for a while, only able to make out the character “Street.”

He thought to himself: Could this be referring to Elm Street? A signpost that remained from that big fire back then?

The Veda Sect was a cult, and the rituals they held were relatively very bloody and evil.

Sacrifice was their mainstream.

And certain items with a long history often could be mediums for evil spirits.

As Du Wei was pondering this, Tom pointed to the screen and said, “Look, more cultists are going in.”

At this.

Du Wei immediately looked over, and on the screen, close to a hundred people passed through the wall, coming to this desolate area.

When the cultist standing by the wall was about to close the door and return to kneel,

Suddenly…

Du Wei’s pupils shrank; he saw a person wearing a mask appearing in front of the withered banyan tree and bowing his head as he opened his mouth towards the people of the Veda Sect…

It was Crocker Mercer, a member of the Vanity Sect…
