"The Holy Cult."
Niannian enunciated each word slowly, uttering these two words.
Dana's eyes immediately lit up. "I've heard these two words! Several people mentioned them. The second young man who moved in, and the third group of people who came to find me, all said these two words, and not just once."
Sure enough, Shen Weixun's guess was almost spot - on. Dana's misfortune was also the doing of the Holy Cult.
"That's right. We happen to be looking for them too. Can you provide some clues? I guess they used fake names, so it won't be easy to find them."
This trip was not in vain. Finally, they got some information about the Holy Cult.
"I don't think I can help you much. I couldn't hear what they said before. Although I can hear them after I died, I don't understand their words."
Dana hung her head, looking extremely helpless.
If she could really find the whereabouts of those two, she would have gone after them herself long ago, instead of hiding in this villa all the time.
"Do they have any regular places to go? They can't watch you 24 hours a day."
"As for regular places... I only know one. It's a church in a nearby town. They go to that church for mass every month. The journey is quite far, so they'll be away for a whole day. Every time I tried to escape, I took advantage of that time. It's in that direction over there."
Dana pointed to the west.
She couldn't describe the exact location, but it was already good enough to give a general direction.
"There is a church in this town. If they believe in God, they wouldn't go out of their way. Moreover, they are not locals. Since they know how to make human - skin drums, they must be Chinese warlocks. It's even less likely for them to believe in a foreign religion. That church is probably just a cover."
Finally, they found a lead. Shen Weixun pondered for a while in a low voice, then looked up and smiled at Dana. "Before we find that couple, you probably don't trust us very much. Starting tomorrow, I'll send someone to deliver daily supplies to the villa on time. Your sister looks a bit malnourished. We'll come to pick her up after we find those people."
Actually, he didn't really want to take these two burdens with him.
Since they had obtained more clues about the Holy Cult, they would surely have to stay here for some time.
Dana was hostile to everyone. It wouldn't be easy to make her feel at ease.
He was too lazy to waste more words explaining things to them.
Dana thought for a while and finally nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for your news here. If you really find them, I hope you'll hand them over to me. I want to kill them with my own hands."
"If we can really find them."
Shen Weixun didn't dare to make such a guarantee. That couple had gone through so much trouble to make the human - skin drum but then just left it in the villa. There must have been a more important order from the higher - ups of the Holy Cult.
He estimated that even if they went to the church, they wouldn't find much.
Whether they could find the people was still uncertain.
The human - skin drum couldn't be taken away. This thing was connected to Aya's soul, so it had to stay in the villa.
However, the witch was still reluctant to let go of the human - skin drum.
Finally, Niannian knocked the witch unconscious and snatched the drum back, then returned it to the little girl.
After leaving the villa, they rushed non - stop towards the town in the west.
There was only one town nearby with a church, and it took two hours to drive there.
It was almost 200 kilometers away.
No wonder that couple would take a whole day for a round - trip.
This town looked very quiet. Nights in foreign countries were usually rather quiet, and there were generally no idle people wandering on the street.
The church was closed at the moment. They could only go and check it out tomorrow morning.
They casually found a hotel. As soon as they entered, Niannian felt uncomfortable.
There was something wrong with this hotel.
Niannian stretched out her little hand and was just about to tug at her master's robe when Qingyun Taoist priest covered her mouth with a slap.
The little girl let out a series of "ummm" sounds aggrievedly, but Qingyun Taoist priest ignored her and still paid the money to check into the hotel.
When they got upstairs, he finally let go of Niannian's little mouth.
"Master, this place is not right. Why didn't you let me say anything just now?"
"If you can tell, do you think I can't? What's wrong with this town?"
Qingyun Taoist priest frowned seriously and patted the little girl's head.
"Ah?"
Niannian blinked her eyes. She didn't see anything abnormal in other places.
"This whole town is a feng shui formation. Don't you think the urban planning here is a bit too messy? Have you ever seen such a plan in China or other places?"
Qingyun Taoist priest squatted down and patiently guided Niannian.
The little girl scratched her head and thought carefully. It was really the case.
The buildings in this small town were a bit strange, not in the way they were built, but in their locations.
So far, the towns she had been to either had a straight road or were in a seemingly chaotic but actually orderly pattern.
The buildings in this town had no logic at all.
"Do you notice something wrong? Then think about whether the positions of these buildings combined look like half of the character 'kun' (trap in Chinese)."
They hadn't seen the whole picture of the town's planning, but the town wasn't very big, and they had almost walked through half of it to reach the hotel.
Looking at it this way, it really did look like half of a character.
"Why is there a feng shui formation here? And such a large one?"
Seeing that Niannian finally understood, Qingyun Taoist priest continued, "Do you think there's a possibility that we've accidentally walked into the territory of the Holy Cult? The hotel manager who received us had a very strange look in his eyes. Although our clothes are indeed a bit strange compared to others, he didn't need to look at us warily for so long. You still need to practice more in judging people. That hotel owner obviously knew that we weren't ordinary guests."
The little girl still hadn't learned how to read people's expressions, but it was normal for a girl of her age.
As soon as they entered the hotel, the hotel owner was first surprised for a while, and then looked at them with extreme wariness.
When he heard that they were here to stay, he double - checked several times. Only after he was sure there was no problem did he relax.
This was not the reaction of a normal hotel owner.
"Master, the hotel owner has gone out."
Mu Yanchen had been peeping out of the window since he entered the room, keeping a close eye on the outside.
After seeing the hotel owner hurry out, he reminded them in a low voice.
"He should be going to send a message. Lao Er, you and your senior brother follow him and see what he's up to. We may have already alerted the enemy."
