The bishop is unfathomable.

Li Wei always kept in mind his purpose in impersonating a bishop.

That is to extract the spells possessed by esoteric practitioners.

As a historian, Livy was very familiar with the origins of Esoteric Buddhism.

Although the public has a very bad impression of Tantric Buddhism, believing that they are a group of antisocial lunatics with no moral bottom line, no scruples, and who do all kinds of evil.

However, the original Tantric sect was quite normal. It was only later, due to the suppression by the Church of Radiant Light and the predicament of having no one to rely on, that it was forced to start accepting anyone.

It is also common knowledge that ordinary people who are content with their lives would not want to join an illegal organization.

Therefore, Tantric Buddhism began to be filled with the dregs of society, disillusioned geniuses filled with a desire for revenge against society, vengeful ghosts who were betrayed and wanted to seek revenge, madmen who would do anything to pursue power, and the last small group of founders.

Of course, due to the uneven quality of outsiders, the vast majority of middle and senior levels in the six major esoteric sects are still the inheritors of the original founding team.

That is, the six failed churches that were destroyed in the church wars and whose names were even omitted from historical records.

They worship six other gods of the Dream Realm besides the Four Pillar Gods.

Unfortunately, although it seemed like a six-on-four advantage, the problem was that the six of them were randomly matched, while the other four were playing together as a premade team.

Therefore, when the gods lost the battle, these churches that believed in the losers naturally also failed.

Fortunately, these defeated gods did not die, and the church's legacy was passed down. These special spells, which can also be called "divine arts," are the reason why Tantric Buddhism, despite being suppressed for many years, has never disappeared and has even grown bigger.

Perhaps in terms of the powerful, their numbers cannot compare to the Church of Radiance and the various nations.

However, among the lower and middle levels of superhumans, their numbers far exceed those of the former.

Li Wei initially set his sights on the extraordinary knowledge circulating within the Tantric community.

After all, this kind of knowledge could not be contained in the forbidden library; it was knowledge that could not be obtained within the library.

Just like the spell I unexpectedly obtained during the promotion ceremony, which can be used to directly summon phantom beasts.

But since he had already decided to become a "faceless person," he certainly couldn't directly ask his subordinates related questions.

He had been waiting for the right opportunity, and now, Li Wei felt that the opportunity had arrived.

"Although I can probably only get knowledge related to ritual studies, it will be enough."

"Even if, in theory, there must be relevant books and knowledge in the restricted book area, searching aimlessly one by one is still too slow."

Li Wei sighed helplessly. He was now essentially guarding a gold mine, and he could use it freely. The only problem was that this gold mine had too many impurities.

The real gold is buried in the vast sea of ​​books.

This is how leaves are hidden in the forest.

"It would be great if there were a specific book title... Huh?"

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Li Wei's mind. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing the little black thing curled up on his lap, and muttered to himself, "Why don't I just go ask Director Barris?"

Yes, why doesn't he just ask? Even if he doesn't get an answer, since the administrator can read banned books, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to ask the senior for a book list, right?

Li Wei slapped his head in frustration: "Ugh, my brain... there's absolutely no need to be so wary and distant of the old curator, is there?"

With that in mind, Li Wei picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Barris's office directly.

"Hello, Mr. Curator, I have a question for you."

"What books do you think would be suitable for me to read and study?"

On the other end of the phone, Barris seemed to pause for a moment, then chuckled and spoke in a soft, gentle voice: "Actually, you could have asked more directly."

"You're much smarter than your ex; you figured this out in just a few days."

"Let's go check out Zone 7 and Zone 3."

"You will find the book you want."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei realized that Barris wanted to end the conversation, and quickly asked, "Wait, wait, wait! Mr. Curator, isn't there a specific book title?!"

"Oh, young man, you overestimate me. I'm quite old. Even when I was young, it was impossible for me to remember every book in the library." Barris chuckled.

After laughing for a while, Barris continued, "Go, young man, the threads of destiny will guide you."

"Don't forget one thing."

"Numbers in this world also possess power."

"One, three, four, seven, these are the foundations of mathematics..."

"Oh, that's too much. You'll see when you get there; you'll get what you want."

"Beep beep beep".

The call was disconnected.

Li Wei could only curse the riddle-maker under his breath, then silently wrote down Barris's words in his notebook.

"One, three, four, seven? Does that mean these four numbers are special?"

"Write this down first, even though I don't know where I'll use it."

Li Wei then glanced at his watch; it was almost 3 p.m. Both Zone 7 and Zone 3 were quite far from his office, and it would take a considerable amount of time to walk there.

"Let's get down to business first."

Li Wei thought for a moment, then packed his things, picked up the cat, and headed towards the library exit.

Meanwhile, Barney and Wag were already seated at the corner cafe across the street from the library, waiting for them.

After spotting the two, Li Wei walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Wag. I'm afraid I need your help this time."

Levi smiled and spoke, then looked at Barney on the other side and asked, "And this is?"

Wag quickly realized, "Ah, this is Barney. An old friend of mine, he's kind of my bodyguard for now."

The exchange between the two men brought the slow-witted Barney back to his senses, and he began to play along, saying, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Levi."

"Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Barney."

Even though the audience hadn't arrived yet, Li Wei started acting as soon as he sat down, just to be on the safe side.

Sure enough, after the three chatted for ten minutes, three more people came out of the coffee shop.

The head of the Inspectorate, Boca; the Inspector General, Black; and Vera, who was in charge of liaison and matchmaking.

"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, I didn't notice you guys were sitting outside." Boca laughed, then casually reached out and scratched the back of his head.

Vera's expression was complex. She felt a mix of guilt, remorse, and excitement.

As Boca spoke, she took out a small piece of chalk, drew a few symbols on the coffee table, and then strung them together with circles to create a simple soundproof ritual barrier.

But the expression on her face was impossible to hide, and Barney saw it all.

Barney was startled after reading the subtle expression on Vera's face.

Is this why His Excellency the Bishop started acting as soon as he sat down after leaving the library?

Did he already discover that the supervisory bureau personnel were hiding inside?!

The cunning Bureau of Investigation... they really don't believe a policewoman's story so easily. Fortunately, the library isn't located in an area with many shops, and this coffee shop is the only place to rest temporarily.

Otherwise...

Barney didn't dare to think about it any further, and was also glad that he and Wag hadn't discussed anything out of line before the bishop came out, and had been focused on disrupting the ritual.

But something seems off about Wag.

Barney glanced at Wag out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Wag's eyes were locked on another male inspector, neither of them looking away.

Then, after Boca greeted him, Blake's voice rang out: "I felt like I recognized you when Vera described your appearance, I didn't expect it to really be you... Varg?"
