Chapter 149: 146. The Missing Wang Daye

146. The Missing Wang Daye

There are not many records regarding the Inverted Sanctuary, but every activity of this organization is earth-shattering and sensational enough to be recorded in history.

The Alien God worshipped by this organization is named the "Inverted Creator." Members of the organization believe the "Inverted Creator" is a great existence that created the negative aspects of the world; she is the Avatar of darkness, the Supreme Mother Goddess, the Mother of Black Goats, and the Goddess of Abundance of the dark, fertile soil... This Alien God created all things, is the ancestral source of many Abnormal creatures, and is even the mother of the vast majority of Alien Gods in the universe!

This Alien God's "corrosiveness" toward human will is quite strong, and once contaminated, the spirit is very difficult to steer back onto a normal track, turning one into a fanatical believer. Therefore, although the Inverted Sanctuary is not considered an Abnormal organization with a vast number of personnel, its destructive power is absolute and insane.

Every member of the Inverted Sanctuary madly attempts to summon the true body of the "Inverted Creator" to descend. Regrettably, the "Inverted Creator" they worship is an extremely difficult existence to invite; she is "arrogant and noble," and her requirements for the Advent Ritual are extremely harsh. If there is even the slightest inaccuracy in the details, she will not descend, but will only send her kin, the Dark Young of the Woods, or her Avatar to spread her Gospel to the believers on her behalf.

However, there are many types of Advent Rituals for the "Inverted Creator," so many that the members of the Inverted Sanctuary do not have a complete record of them. This makes it impossible for Li Duojin to be entirely certain whether the ritual currently taking place in the city of Modu is one of the Advent Rituals; he only knows that something was indeed summoned.

Li Duojin reported his findings to the Xuanmi Group, but the Xuanmi Group appeared very calm, merely telling him to continue following up on the investigation and to report at any time if there were new developments. Incidentally, they also sent him the information on the "Inverted Sanctuary" from the Xuanmi Group's internal database.

Regarding this, Li Duojin did not feel surprised. The clues he could discover, the Xuanmi Group could obviously discover as well, and they were certainly ahead of him; the results of their investigation were definitely more detailed.

His role was mainly to supplement or cross-reference, allowing the people of the Xuanmi Group to be certain that their investigation had no omissions or errors.

"In short, let's go have a good talk with Wang Kuishan today." After reading the information sent by the Xuanmi Group, Li Duojin had a deeper understanding of the Inverted Sanctuary, but it was not of much help for this current Abnormal incident. He then glanced at the clock and realized it was almost time for his appointment with Zhang Laoban of the JOJO Amusement Park, so he prepared to set off.

The person sent by Zhang Laoban indeed attached great importance to him, arriving at the hotel on time as promised to pick him up.

Li Duojin had told Zhang Laoban that the "religious rite" held at the amusement park would last at least about a week. Today was only the second day, and Zhang Laoban naturally dared not be negligent for the sake of his business.

Li Duojin could just happen to use the opportunity of performing the rite to further investigate the serial murder cases at the amusement park.

It was just that Li Duojin did not expect that the only survivor of the serial murder cases, Wang Daye, was no longer in the amusement park.

"What, Wang Kuishan finished his resignation procedures and left this morning?" Upon hearing the news, the nerves in Li Duojin's brain began to throb sensitively. He solemnly pressed, "Why did he resign so suddenly?"

"Uh, it's just a normal operation for adjusting the enterprise's status." Zhang Laoban expressed his meaning of laying someone off very tactfully. "However, we had originally arranged for him to leave at the end of the month, the purpose being to give him time to find a new employer and a new place to live. It's just that we didn't expect him to suddenly say he didn't want to work anymore today, and he left without even taking this month's wages..."

After hearing the "hasty reason" for Wang Daye's departure, Li Duojin stopped listening to Zhang Laoban's rambling. What he was worried about now was Wang Daye's state. If everything was truly as in his worst guess from yesterday—that the ritual Zheng Yu held did not end, and he transferred the ritual to Wang Daye before dying—then the current Wang Daye was inevitably an extremely dangerous person.

"Do you know where he is now?" Li Duojin asked.

"I'm very sorry, we didn't ask, but we can help you contact him." Zhang Laoban saw Li Duojin's concern for Wang Daye and also began to take it seriously, having his secretary go contact Wang Daye now. While waiting for news, he asked Li Duojin, "May I ask if something is wrong?"

Li Duojin smiled and said, "Wang Kuishan has had contact with dirty things after all. I was thinking that as an employee closely related to the amusement park, it is necessary to perform a 'cleansing' for him individually."

"So that's how it is. But he isn't an employee of the amusement park anymore, so it shouldn't be necessary to go to such special trouble, right?" Zhang Laoban realized, then stated his own view.

To this, Li Duojin explained with a smile, "You don't know, but since Wang Kuishan was able to work at the JOJO Amusement Park, it means his karmic connection with the amusement park is deep. His fortune is connected to the amusement park to some extent. Although he may no longer be related to the amusement park in terms of his career, his blessings and virtues are still closely linked to the amusement park for the time being. Therefore, it is best not to let any omissions slip by."

"A master is indeed a master, a meticulous person." Zhang Laoban realized it again, showing a look of heartfelt admiration.

After the two chatted for a while, the secretary finished the phone call. The secretary reported with an ugly expression, "The call won't go through; it seems like he's deliberately not answering."

"This Laowang." Zhang Laoban frowned, then immediately said to the secretary, "You send people down to find him now. You must invite Laowang himself to our side in the shortest time possible."

"Yes, President Zhang." The secretary nodded and bowed, then picked up his phone and ran to the side to make calls and pass on the message.

"Master, what should we do now?" Zhang Laoban was not a fool; he also guessed that there were unusual problems with Wang Daye, and that it very likely involved dangerous Abnormal factors, so he probed Li Duojin.

Li Duojin thought for a moment, "Where did he live in the amusement park before? I want to go take a look."

Zhang Laoban gestured with an invitation and led the way, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it right now."

A moment later, Li Duojin arrived at the prefab dormitory where Wang Daye lived. As soon as the dormitory door was opened, a foul stench rushed toward them, making one wish to retreat three feet.

Several people could not help but pinch their noses. The accompanying secretary gathered his courage and walked into the room, finding the dormitory's light switch. After the light turned on, the scene inside the dormitory made one's face change in horror.

They saw that Wang Daye's dormitory was covered in the rotting corpses of various insects and crawling creatures, and some were even stuck tightly to the ceiling, constantly dripping foul-smelling seepage.

"Ugh!" Zhang Laoban and his secretary were immediately frightened pale by the scene before them, and they both ran outside, leaning on the railing and vomiting uncontrollably.

Although Li Duojin was also extremely disgusted, he endured the inner repulsion, walked into the room to investigate, and then stopped at a certain spot in the room, his expression turning heavy, because he had discovered a fresh human eyeball here.
