Chapter 238: Chapter 230: Mo Family Village (4400 words)

Yan Junze walked over, addressing the sobbing woman, “Are you He Yun?”

The woman raised her head from the desk, her eyes slightly red but her tears already wiped away. As the liaison in possession of Yan Junze’s file, she naturally recognized Yan Junze himself.

She nodded, speaking slowly, “Even though I’ve been mentally prepared ever since he became an exorcist, I still can’t accept it. What exactly happened to He Zheng?”

Yan Junze sighed, “By the time I got there it was too late; he was completely controlled by the Person in the Mirror, absorbed into the Mirror World. Afterwards, I mustered my courage and entered the Mirror World too, but when I managed to rescue him and that woman who was causing strangeness, I found He Zheng was already dead. From the moment he was taken into the Mirror World, he was dead.”

“He always acted recklessly, never listening to me,” He Yun cried out, then suddenly stopped and buried her head in her arms again, beginning to sob, “It’s my fault he’s dead, all my fault.”

Yan Junze had guessed the likely reason on his way here, and now he didn’t know what comforting words to say, given that temporary assignments of exorcists were common in today’s world, provided that the intent was to eliminate strangeness, and it was beneficial for rapid exorcisms.

But no one expected the Mirror Spirit to be so powerful and He Zheng to be so reckless.

“After the incident at Spirit Bridge, I always stopped him from going in, knowing what he was like. It’s too dangerous inside, and if you’re not careful, you’ll never come out… who would’ve thought…” He Yun cried out, speaking between sobs.

A short-haired woman beside her comforted her, “Don’t be sad, my boyfriend already became a three-star exorcist, it wasn’t like this last month…”

“Ah, this world, nothing is predictable,” another woman, also a liaison, sighed.

Seeing that so many people were accompanying He Yun, and having clarified his own concerns, Yan Junze prepared to leave.

However, just then, one of the tall women on the phone hung up with a changeable expression and turned to everyone.

“What happened?” The short-haired liaison asked upon seeing her look troubled.

“Spirit Bridge… something happened,” replied the tall woman. “All 13 three-star exorcists and others of equivalent rank are out of contact, including Uncle Guo.”

“Ah!” all the women exclaimed in surprise.

Even He Yun, who had been leaning over the desk, lifted her head, wiping away the tears on her face, and looked with a frightened expression at the tall liaison.

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment and asked, “Uncle Guo… who is that?”

“Guo Youliang, one of the few exorcists in our district, a four-star,” answered the short-haired woman.

As her words fell, an electronic screen on the wall at the front of the spacious office suddenly lit up, casting a bright red announcement: The strangeness incident at Spirit Bridge has been escalated to Grade A. All personnel are requested to meet in conference room on the sixth floor within five minutes. The meeting will be convened by Team Captain Huo Zhisen of the Tianmeng District Exorcist Team.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, stood up, grabbed notepads and pens, and prepared to head to the sixth floor.

Yan Junze said to He Yun, “Could I, as an external staff member, possibly sit in on this meeting?”

“With the situation so urgent, what difference does in-house or external make? Let’s go together!” The short-haired liaison spoke before He Yun had the chance to answer.

…

In Tianmeng District, on the outskirts of West City, Mo Family Village.

At the fourth junction of the main road outside West City, approximately six kilometers toward Mo Family Village, the road was completely blocked by police barricades and guarded round the clock by some mysterious individuals.

Starting from the barricades, two kilometers further, the road ahead was shrouded in dense fog, obscuring any further view unless one ventured deep into the mist.

This area had been declared a “Death Forbidden Zone” by the Tianmeng Exorcist Team.

Mo Family Village was not very large, comprising about seventy households, but now it had become a realm of death.

Within the thick fog, about four kilometers further in was the location of Mo Family Village, an even stretch of land dotted with scattered houses, fields, and small woods stretching between each structure.

At this moment, in the village, whether on the streets, country pathways, or inside houses, there lay the bodies of local villagers, each emitting the smell of decay that permeated the air.

In one of the farmhouses, four exorcists from the team had gathered.

All windows and doors of this house had been closed; the four people huddled next to the main door against the wall, with two of them peering through the door crack, watching the outside.

The other two squatted on the side, whispering to each other. These two were Zhang Xiaomo and her partner Zhang Di.

The two men looking outside were older and both three-star exorcists.

Among these four, currently, the most powerful was Zhang Di, a three-star exorcist who was also a Semi-spirit and had appeared with Zhang Xiaomo in the café last time, followed by Fang Zun, then Zhang Xiaomo, and finally Yuan Dingzhou.

At the moment, in the direction Fang Zun and Yuan Dingzhou were cautiously observing, there was a semi-circular black arch bridge in mid-air, completely formed by dark mist, stretching across from above, covering almost two-thirds of the entire Mo Family Village.

After watching for a while, Yuan Dingzhou turned his head and whispered, “Compared to two days ago, it seems like Spirit Bridge is starting to weaken. I hope it’s not my illusion.”

“Does that mean we can go outside now?” Zhang Xiaomo asked.
