Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 444: The Church’s Secret

Inside the church.

"Right now, there are very few hunters in the church, just the six of us, but in fact, we still have people in the shadows," said Kane earnestly and sincerely.

"However, the ones who truly control everything in the church are just a few of us, and you must be excluded because you have never touched the core of the church."

Du Wei nodded expressionlessly.

There are people in the shadows?

Moreover, they’re not in the church—could it be referring to those undercover in the Dusk Bell?

Could those people really be of any use?

He remained skeptical.

Alvin Dowqui, standing by the side and seeing Du Wei’s unhappy expression, quickly said in a deep voice, "The church’s big weapon is a great hidden danger. We five hunters have been maintaining its operation from the last century to now. When it’s active, we can’t spare any energy. Only when it’s dormant do we have the chance to go out."

"So your appearance lately has eased a lot of our burden."

At this point, Alvin Dowqui bowed slightly to Du Wei, lowered his head, and said, "But now I’m about to die, and it won’t be possible for four hunters to maintain its operation. We need someone very reliable."

"And that person, others hope it’s you, and I hope it’s you, too."

"My humanity has all but faded away; it is willpower that keeps me in my current state. I am grateful to you because you discovered the cause of my grandfather Andrew’s death."

"Join us, Mr. Du Wei. The glory of the Dowqui family also belongs to you."

Better left unsaid.

The more he talked, the more awkward Du Wei felt in his heart. Andrew’s death had nothing to do with him, but what a miserable state Andrew ended up in was all his own doing.

Burning human skin was a matter of necessity.

But later, when he marked Andrew Dowqui, who had become the Evil Spirit Driver, and incited the battle that led to it being torn to shreds by Evil Spirit Du Wei, he didn’t hesitate at all.

Most importantly, the fate of the hunters from the Dowqui family doesn’t seem to turn out very well…

Du Wei then awkwardly said, "I can’t accept the glory of the Dowqui family. I’m just an ordinary hunter. This glory should be borne by Sir Alvin."

Alvin Dowqui asked in surprise, "Why? Are you unwilling to join us?"

Is there something not quite right here?

Kane also frowned, unclear about what this young hunter in front of him was really thinking.

Did he feel out of touch with society for too long, unable to understand the thoughts of the young, or should he update himself by surfing the internet and browsing forums?

Du Wei quickly replied, "Of course, I’m willing to join you. It’s just that I feel what I’ve done so far isn’t good enough to be associated with the word ’glory’."

Alvin Dowqui suddenly understood, a flicker of approval in his eyes.

"I was not mistaken about you, Mr. Du Wei. Since that’s the case, then there are some things we can tell you."

"Do you mean that big weapon?"

Du Wei raised an eyebrow, "You’ve always been reluctant to explain it accurately before, probably because it’s too important. Now that I’ve just agreed to join, aren’t you worried that I might disclose it or even choose to defect and join an organization like Dusk Bell?"

Kane spoke with gravity, "We are really not worried because if you disclose it, we will personally eliminate all who are aware of it. And if you defect to join Dusk Bell…"

"Let’s put it this way, one third of the hunters inside Dusk Bell are from the church."

"Openly or secretly, except for cults like the Veda Sect where planting undercover agents makes little sense, we basically have someone everywhere."

"In fact, a member of the Vanity Sect is also from the church; I just don’t know exactly who it is."

Hearing this,

Du Wei’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Was the organization he joined really the church, and not some sort of terrorist group?

This was completely different from what he had understood before!

The church planted undercover agents throughout the world, sending hunters to the core positions of other organizations. What on earth were they planning to do?

No wonder they weren’t worried about their own defections, nor concerned whether they were undercover agents from other organizations.

It turned out that those traitors were either killed by their own people or by the church’s operatives.

It was too terrifying.

Alvin Dowqui just smiled and said, "Are you curious as to why the church is doing this?"

Du Wei nodded, "I’m very curious."

Alvin Dowqui pointed at his head and said, "That massive weapon of the church, we call it the Blood of Jesus. As long as it exists, Evil Spirits cannot emerge."

"But its power is sometimes very weak, and sometimes incredibly strong."

"We can’t really harness it."

"Moreover, it is evil."

As he said this, Alvin Dowqui added, "As for why we implant undercover agents in other organizations, it’s because some organizations possess the same kind of things."

"The church has been scheming for over two hundred years with the goal of gathering these things together to find a way to eliminate all Evil Spirits."

"At that time, the world will return to the right track."

Before.

Du Wei always thought that the decline of the church was due to the scarcity of hunters and the division caused by the Dusk Bell.

He believed this ancient religious organization had lost its once supreme authority.

But from this moment, Du Wei let go of that notion; he finally understood how terrifying the church was.

To spend over two hundred years on a plan.

The amount of manpower and resources consumed was simply outrageous.

But at this time, Du Wei suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Alvin Dowqui and said in a deep tone, "Yet the Dusk Bell split from within the church two hundred years ago. Why did that happen?"

Alvin Dowqui’s face changed slightly, and his entire demeanor became extremely cold.

He was angry.

But Du Wei didn’t feel any pressure at all.

On the contrary, Kane coughed to remind his companion to keep his emotions in check.

"That incident is too far in the past; the specific reasons are manifold. But let me put it this way, within the Dusk Bell, there is also something similar to the Blood of Jesus."

Du Wei said solemnly, "So the church has planted so many undercover agents within the Dusk Bell. But if that’s the case, there is something I must tell you."

Kane asked, "What is it?"

Du Wei answered, "Matthew, this person is not dead. He has lived for over two hundred years and is also the current leader of the Dusk Bell."

Kane and Alvin Dowqui incredulously said, "How is that possible, he has lived for two hundred years? That’s not normal; hunters can’t live that long. He would definitely turn into an Evil Spirit."

Indeed, the Dusk Bell has ways to delay or resolve the threat of Evil Spirit Transformation, but those come with a hefty price.

Looking back a hundred years, such methods didn’t even exist.

How can Matthew have possibly lived so long?

Du Wei stated firmly, "I also think it’s very abnormal, but the fact remains as such. Moreover, the one who informed me about this was an Evil Spirit Envelope from within the Dusk Bell."

The church was aware of his killing of Hannibal.

Alvin Dowqui’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Where is that envelope now? We need to confirm if what you are saying is true. If it is, then Matthew might have used that thing of the Dusk Bell. Otherwise, he couldn’t have lived that long."
