Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 611 - 608 Red Gate

Chapter 611: 608, Red Gate Chapter 611: 608, Red Gate In the car.

After collecting the money, the driver smiled ear to ear and was not stingy with Du Wei’s requests.

He directly said, “There are several legends about the disappearance of Five Keys Town.”

“The most widely spread one is a rumor about a Ghost Ship.”

“It is said that at a certain time, a Ghost Ship came to the port, over a hundred years ago, and then a monstrous captain descended from the ship.”

“That captain was incredibly evil, a devil from hell, and his subordinates were also very sly and wicked; all the crew members on the ship were dreadful ghosts and monsters.”

“After that, the captain sent his men to Five Keys Town, took all the living people onto the ship, and nailed them to Five Keys Town with the ship’s anchor.”

...

“When the Ghost Ship set sail, Five Keys Town also disappeared.”

Having heard all this.

Du Wei said expressionlessly, “Talk about the other legends.”

He had already learned about the Ghost Ship and Five Keys Town from Gascogne’s mouth previously.

Of course…

It was completely different from the processed version that had been circulating for over a hundred years, as told by this driver.

Evil…

Devils?

Was there a word that related to him…

The driver shrugged and, without turning his head, said, “There’s another theory that Five Keys Town was actually a prison, built entirely like a prison, with cells holding men and women whom Count Carlos had grown tired of.”

“And the Warden of the prison was a real devil.”

The driver continued, “What that devil liked most was to torture those ordinary people, chaining them to the doors for other prisoners to see, as a way to vent his brutality.”

“And those chained to the doors often had only death as their fate.”

“Over time, all the doors in the prison turned blood red.”

“Hence it was also called Red Gate, and one day the prison caught fire, the demonic Warden was burned alive, and the prisoners of Five Keys Town were liberated, beginning their new lives.”

“And they also crushed the remains of that devil into powdery ash and poured it into the vast sea.”

“But one day, when a typhoon came, the waves surged violently, and at the highest tide, the seawater spread right up to the doorstep of Five Keys Town.”

“After the typhoon subsided and the water receded, the people of Five Keys Town found footprints of a man on the beach, along with traces of dragging chains.”

Upon hearing this.

Du Wei thoughtfully said, “It sounds like the Warden has become an Evil Spirit and then sought revenge on the people of Five Keys Town.”

The driver, still not turning his head, said, “More or less, but after that Warden became an Evil Spirit, the town gates of Five Keys Town turned blood red.”

“Those people wanted to escape, but no matter what they did, they would mysteriously end up back in town.”

“Later, it was said that the Warden, who had become an Evil Spirit, opened the Red Gate, and then the entire town vanished, with all the people trapped inside forever.”

At this time, the driver turned the steering wheel, and ahead was Kaba Village, located in the northwestern part of Borad City, in the triangular area closest to the site of Five Keys Town.

Five Keys Town had disappeared; the place was completely desolate, with no roads leading there.

Therefore, Du Wei could only first go to Kaba Village and then trek on foot to reach Five Keys Town.

He watched as the village drew closer.

What he was thinking about, however, was the connection between Lock Ghost and the Warden.

According to the information he had received before, Lock Ghost had been following his past self, coming down from the Ghost Ship, before the events at Five Keys Town occurred.

He himself was the captain.

And then, in an even earlier past, he had Count Carlos build Five Keys Town.

And he left Lock Ghost in the prison, and furthermore, he bound Alex’s consciousness to Lock Ghost through some unknown means.

Once he entered Hell’s Gate.

Alex’s consciousness would then fall into the hands of the Lock Ghost.

It was impossible for him to harm Alex, so it must be a protective measure.

Therefore, the legendary Warden might just be an ordinary person responsible for guarding the prisoners, rather than the Lock Ghost.

Of course, the one who would take action should indeed be the Lock Ghost.

Du Wei organized his thoughts.

But how to find the Lock Ghost, he still had no clue.

He could only take it one step at a time.

After about ten minutes.

The driver pressed the brake, “Sir, we’ve arrived.”

Du Wei’s train of thought was interrupted, and he nodded, “Okay.”

With that, he opened the car door and got out.

At that moment, the driver hesitated, pressed the window switch and said, “Wait a moment, you seem very interested in Five Keys Town?”

Du Wei smiled and replied, “Yes, mystery and the unknown always evoke a desire to explore.”

The driver shrugged and said, “Those legends I told you about are also what I heard from others; you know how it goes with legends, you just listen.”

“But seeing as you’re very generous, and you’re definitely going to ask around anyway, I might as well tell you directly, Kaba Village has descendants of Five Keys Town.”

“You can ask their village chief to learn more.”

“But as far as I know, they are very sensitive about Five Keys Town matters, they might just kick you out.”

After saying that, the driver drove off.

Du Wei stood in place, watching the sedan drive away, his eyes showing a slightly odd expression.

He whispered, “Five Keys Town still has descendants, that shouldn’t be, the Lock Ghost that followed me has been alive until now, which means it’s extremely terrifying, otherwise it would have been exploited by someone useless like me already.”

“If it did act, then it should have wiped them out completely, so why would there still be a bloodline left?”

…

Kaba Village.

It was a backward village.

Although there were many modern facilities, and a lot of traffic coming and going,

Everywhere revealed an ancient aura.

The residents’ clothing, too, was chosen in bright reds and yellows, brimming with local folk colors.

He habitually scanned the surroundings with Spirit Vision.

Du Wei found nothing unusual.

But what he did see was a woman dressed in a very revealing mermaid costume swimming in a huge water park made of glass, performing a dance filled with suggestive allure.

Du Wei glanced at it and then looked away.

He couldn’t help thinking, if Tom and Father Tony knew about this place, with their characters, they’d probably take a plane here just to indulge…

Hmm… he could probably remove the word ‘probably’.

He randomly approached a passerby.

Du Wei directly asked, “Hello, I’m looking for your village chief, can you tell me where I can find him?”

The passerby gestured with his hands as if rubbing them together.

Clearly he wanted money.

The people here seemed to have an unusual pursuit for money.

Du Wei didn’t bother haggling and simply handed over a banknote.

The passerby then smirked and said, “Stranger, the village chief is in the place closest to the sea, there’s a villa built there, just head east and you’ll see it. But there’s a typhoon coming these days, he probably won’t see you.”
