Subsequently.
The Pope commanded:
"Go and investigate who is currently in or near the country, and if possible, invite Zhang Wei to the Vatican."
The cardinals nodded, and one of them immediately went out to instruct the attendants.
However.
Before leaving.
That cardinal asked again:
"By the way, Your Holiness, Abraham has broken free. How should we handle it? Does the Exorcist Association have the capability to deal with it? Should we set off now?"
Upon his words.
The Pope raised the Scepter of God in his hand and said:
"I don't know about this. The Exorcist Association has developed well over the years, perhaps they can. But we cannot rely on this situation."
"Then I will go and instruct the attendants to prepare a private jet for Your Holiness to travel to the country immediately, to prevent Abraham from causing casualties."
"No need."
The Pope stopped the cardinal's action and said slowly:
"Although Abraham has broken free, I can feel that the power of God's seal I left at the Kunzhiyan Psychiatric Hospital is still there. Zhang Wei should be a believer of God. He broke Abraham's seal but did not destroy it, which is very miraculous. This might be the power of the God artifact he refined after believing in God."
As he finished speaking.
The Pope made the sign of the cross and kissed the cross hanging on his chest:
"Thank God for bestowing another great artifact upon us in the mortal world. Amen~"
The cardinals: "Amen~"
...
On the other side.
Seoul City, Exorcist Association Headquarters.
At this moment.
Inside the Exorcist Association building, although it was night, it was only past eight o'clock, not yet nine. Many exorcists were on duty.
"It feels great not to be on duty today."
"Then why are you still here? Why don't you go out and have fun at a nightclub?"
"Have fun with what? I lost so much in the World Cup that my pants are torn. I have no money to have fun, so I can only work overtime to earn some overtime pay."
Several middle-aged Exorcists chatted.
They were the high-ranking officials of the Exorcist Association on duty that day. Supernatural events did not happen every day, but to prevent accidents, high-ranking officials would take turns on duty. Once a major supernatural event occurred, the on-duty high-ranking officials would make decisions.
Just as another middle-aged Exorcist was about to respond to his companion's words with a smile.
At this moment.
"Hmm?"
The Exorcists present, including him, felt a palpitation, their souls trembled, and then, as if sensing something, they suddenly looked up in one direction.
Immediately after.
Before they could react.
Boom———
A huge roar exploded.
The entire Exorcist Association building shook, as if it had been hit by artillery shells. The floors vibrated violently, and all the light tubes flickered due to temporary circuit failures from this immense impact.
"Is it an earthquake?"
"Damn it, what's going on? Is it an earthquake?!"
"It's not an earthquake, this sound isn't from an earthquake. Did the President break through the building again?"
Everyone in the Exorcist Association changed their expressions. At first, they thought it was an earthquake, but considering the shaking and the loud noise that accompanied it, they instinctively thought it was the President's doing, because the President had caused such a roaring sound last time when he broke through a wall and rushed out.
However.
The thought lasted less than a second.
The next second.
Including the high-ranking officials, everyone felt a bone-chilling terrifying aura. The aura was so powerful that even the high-ranking officials, who were at the top Ghost King level, trembled.
"A half-step Nation-Guard level ghost?!"
"Are we being attacked by ghosts at our headquarters?"
They all realized what was happening. Those on higher floors looked down, and those on lower floors looked up, all focusing on one floor from which they felt the ghostly energy. They knew this was the Exorcist Association, where there should be no ghosts, let alone a half-step Nation-Guard level ghost.
In other words.
A half-step Nation-Guard level ghost had attacked the headquarters.
Realizing this situation.
The high-ranking officials' faces changed, and they quickly pressed the broadcast button in their rooms, saying:
"Quick, all personnel evacuate the building immediately! All exorcists who are not Ghost King level, leave!"
As he finished speaking.
The high-ranking official then said to his companion beside him:
"Hurry and notify the President. Damn it, they chose to go to Kunzhiyan when the President was there. They chose to come here when he wasn't. There might be a mole in our Exorcist Association."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A senior high-ranking official beside him's pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had discovered something, and said with a face full of horror:
"There's no mole. This ghost's aura, it's him, it's him!!"
With his words.
He looked at the high-ranking officials present and shouted in horror:
"There's no mistake, this aura is Abraham from the Kunzhiyan Psychiatric Hospital. Has he broken free? How could this happen?"
"What did you say?!"
"Hey, are you sure you're not kidding?"
The other high-ranking officials' faces changed drastically upon hearing this. One of them grabbed the old high-ranking official and said.
They knew about Abraham, but they didn't know his situation. However, the old high-ranking official was different. He had seen Abraham with his own eyes and was one of the survivors of the siege of Abraham that year, just like the President.
Therefore.
As they confirmed that the old high-ranking official had not misjudged, the other high-ranking officials were stunned:
"How did Abraham break free? What did the President and the others do?"
"Is it really Abraham? The Kunzhiyan Psychiatric Hospital is very far from here. Why is he here, and weren't the President and the others at the Kunzhiyan Psychiatric Hospital?"
"Isn't the President there? And Zhang Wei is also there. Couldn't they stop Abraham?"
At this moment.
They felt a bit desperate. They knew that the President and Zhang Wei were going to investigate Abraham's experiment tonight, but now that Abraham appeared here, it was hard for them not to think in this direction. Zhang Wei and the President couldn't stop Abraham, and now Abraham had come to seek revenge because of the experiment.
Thinking of this.
They trembled:
"Damn it, it's all Zhang Wei's fault for doing some experiment. Now, we're being retaliated against by Abraham."
"What do we do now?"
"How about explaining to Abraham that the experiment wasn't just our doing, it was done by Zhang Wei from Great Xia, and let Abraham go to Great Xia to cause trouble?"
Upon this statement.
The other high-ranking officials looked over:
"This is a viable plan. Let's do it this way. We'll go and stop Abraham first, and let other personnel evacuate as much as possible. If we really have to die, we'll shift the blame."
With their words.
They all picked up their magical artifacts and rushed towards the floor where Abraham was.
On the way.
Their minds were racing, thinking about how to find excuses to frame Zhang Wei and make Abraham go to Great Xia for trouble, instead of them taking the blame.
...
At the same time.
On the 8th floor of the 20-story Exorcist Association building.
The area was filled with dust, and the floor was covered with broken wall fragments. Looking up, a large hole that penetrated from the 20th floor to the 8th floor was visible. Broken wires around it occasionally made crackling sounds, and the lights flickered intermittently.
Immediately after.
Bang!
Below the 8th floor, directly opposite the hole that penetrated the building, a large piece of wall debris moved.
Abraham pushed aside the wall that was pressing on him with one hand, his face covered in blood, looking around with a bewildered expression:
"Cough! That hurts."
He clutched his chest and found that his chest was caved in, dented by a slap from Zhang Wei, and he was seriously injured. He couldn't help but feel a pang of fear and said grimly:
"Damn it, is the artifact in his hand God's artifact? That shouldn't be right. Why does God's artifact look so Eastern in style, and why is it possessed by a Great Xia person named Zhang Wei? Did the Vatican get stolen by that Zhang Wei? By the way, where did I get slapped to?"
Before he finished speaking.
Abraham looked around, and then he froze:
"Hmm? So many exorcists?"
Through a sense, he discovered that the place he was in, or rather the building he was in, was filled with a large number of exorcists. He had never encountered such a large number before.
