143. Can't Leave

Midnight.

A man wearing a raincoat, dagger in hand, walked through the dark alley.

Not far behind him followed Du Wei, carrying a black umbrella and dressed in a trench coat.

He had been walking for about half an hour.

During this time, the Evil Corpse consistently headed southeast.

As he thought, the Evil Corpse was much quicker at locating the people from the Veda Sect than locating himself.

What he found strange, though, was that after entering this alley, the pace of the Evil Corpse had noticeably quickened.

This area was not far from his home, with some rather unofficial small hotels around, which got relatively chaotic after nightfall.

It looked like they were about to reach their destination.

...

Meanwhile.

In a room of a certain hotel.

Bishop Ruth of the Veda Sect had finished her prayers, opening her eyes and slowly breathing out.

She had joined the Veda Sect over twenty years ago.
