Chapter 284: 282. Scolyn City Museum
When night fell,
thick clouds had completely enveloped the sky above Scolyn City.
Just as the rain began,
Du Wei was driving to et his subordinates in the center of Scolyn City.
Including himself, there were five people from the Tribunal.
Deputy Chief Judge Du Wei and four mbers, besides Harry and Homier the other two were middle-aged n with sparse hair but very resolute eyes.
To be honest, Du Wei was feeling a bit awkward right now.
He never expected that his subordinates would include Harry and Homier.
Both of these n had encountered the Evil Spirit Du Wei and, in a sense, they were potential dangers.
Once transford into Evil Spirits or reaching a certain phase, they would beco extensions of the Evil Spirit Du Wei’s will.
Just like with Jas, whose eyes beca those of the Evil Spirit Du Wei.
Although the Evil Spirit Du Wei was now trapped inside a mirror and logically shouldn’t be able to escape,
there were still so problems.
Harry and Homier didn’t detect anything unusual in Du Wei’s expression because he always kept a straight face, impassive like a machine of pure reason.
Eventually,
it was Homier who broke the silence. She said, “Lord Chief Judge, we’ve brought the items you needed. What should we do next?”
In truth, she had always held Du Wei in high regard, so her tone and deanor were very reserved when she saw him.
As she spoke, she passed over the silver case containing the flintlock gun.
After taking the case, Du Wei glanced at the four people and said indifferently, “The officials of Scolyn City have just discussed with a few minutes ago. They are evacuating the crowds near the museum, so we should head over there right now.”
Homier nodded, “Understood.”
Without saying more, Du Wei picked up the case and got into the car, and the others quickly followed.
…
A few minutes later,
they arrived at their destination.
After getting out of the car, they saw that the entire museum area had been cordoned off, with only local police and firefighters waiting outside.
Upon the arrival of Du Wei and his group, a middle-aged man in a police uniform hurried forward to greet them.
“I am Karl, the chief of police in Scolyn, Mr. Du Wei, and you’re younger than I imagined.”
Officer Karl extended a friendly hand towards Du Wei.
It was clear he had been inford about Du Wei in advance, which is how he recognized him imdiately.
Du Wei shook hands with him, “Hello, Officer Karl, I’m Deputy Chief Judge Du Wei from the Church. The Evil Spirit incident in Scolyn City is under the jurisdiction of my colleagues and .”
Karl licked his lips and said, “Can you confirm that an Evil Spirit incident really occurred at the museum? Honestly, although the higher-ups have inford of so things, I am still skeptical because I haven’t seen anything myself.”
Du Wei said coolly, “Believe , you don’t want to see it.”
After speaking, he turned to look toward the museum that was blockaded by the isolation tape. The rain impaired his vision, allowing him only to faintly discern the interior and its dim lighting.
“Tell about the situation here.”
He was concise, going straight to the point.
Officer Karl didn’t continue the earlier conversation but said gravely, “We’ve dispersed everyone outside the museum, including the staff, but there are definitely still people inside.”
Du Wei frowned, “Have you checked the visitors’ information?”
Officer Karl paused for a mont, “Of course, I’ve checked all the guest information. Currently, there are over thirty people inside the museum, but we have no ans of contacting them.”
He added, sowhat perplexed, “Electronic devices seem to be malfunctioning. We’ve tried all possible ans of communication, to no avail.”
“Moreover, we can’t see clearly what’s happening inside.”
Du Wei nodded slightly and motioned with a gesture for the others to follow.
“Let’s go in and take a look, but don’t stray too far from .”
Harry and Homier, among others, remained silent, following closely behind Du Wei.
Officer Karl, seeing this, cast a glance at Du Wei’s pocket, where he keenly observed that the outline of the clothing was sowhat abnormal.
It looked like a gun…
Fuck…
This exorcist called Du Wei, why does he seem so dangerous?
Kahn pondered internally, gritting his teeth and following as well.
Truth be told, he was also a bit scared, so he stayed as close to Du Wei as possible, not daring to fall behind.
Whoosh…
Du Wei pulled aside the dividing tape and stepped up to the entrance of the museum, stopping there with a very serious expression.
His entire being entered the “Third Phase” of Spirit Vision.
This phase of Spirit Vision allowed him to see more, and he could transform into the Evil Spirit at any mont.
Therefore, in Du Wei’s eyes, the whole museum took on a completely different appearance.
He saw…
The museum was shrouded in so kind of hazy mist, but the mist was too thin, blurring the specifics beyond clarity.
It was like observing through frosted glass.
But Du Wei indeed saw many people inside the museum.
These people were aimlessly wandering inside, each with a look of terror on their faces, including both n and won.
The doors of the entire museum were made of glass.
Du Wei waved towards the inside, but the people inside had no reaction, still aimlessly wandering.
Officer Karl, seeing this, hurriedly asked, “What do you see?”
Harry and the others turned their attention that way as well.
Among them, Harry’s eyes carried a peculiar expression, because he also saw sothing, but he felt that at this ti, he should not speak out, so he kept silent.
He was accustod to playing the role of a good subordinate.
But Du Wei did not answer imdiately, he kept watching those people inside the museum.
After a good while,
Du Wei finally said in a deep voice, “There are indeed people inside, but their vision seems to be obscured, endlessly circling inside.”
Harry had a strange expression; he didn’t see as much…
Officer Karl, however, was very conflicted, “I didn’t see anything, are you sure?”
Du Wei glanced at him and said, “Of course, I’m sure, but these people are now in trouble.”
Officer Karl asked, “What do you an?”
“They can’t get out…”
Du Wei said this while carefully inspecting the glass door but remained vigilant, keeping a safe distance.
He tried to keep as far away as possible from the thin mist that he saw in his state of Spirit Vision.
Although he did not feel any danger, precisely this made him even more vigilant.
The things that can be seen directly are not the most frightening.
It’s what hides in the dark that truly unnerves soone.
And now, the entire museum was essentially sealed off. For Du Wei to enter and find that oil painting would be extrely troubleso and potentially very dangerous.
“But why are they still alive?”
Du Wei silently asked himself…
