43. Evil Spirit Ritual

"You're an Exorcist?" Lu Li asked.

"No."

"A Night Watcher?"

"Not that either, I'm not one of those guys, but it's pretty similar." The mysterious man ignored the shadowy figures around him. He walked over to a nearby dining table, placed the briefcase he was carrying on the ground by his feet, and took a seat. "Well, no harm in telling you, I belong to a different division, an investigator, still in training."

Lu Li noticed that he was still carrying the briefcase.

"It shows."

Lu Li put the flintlock pistol back into its holster, but did not let go of the grip.

He didn't think that a Night Watcher or a formal investigator, who dealt with the strange on a regular basis, would maintain the stranger's current optimism.

"So can you tell me what happened?"

"I can. You seem surprisingly calm, are you an Exorcist?"

"Yes."
