I, Doctor in the US

The snow on the plateau should not be underestimated.

Owen was either active in South America or living in California.

The killings were also done under the big sun.

But now, he was dressed in a snow camo suit, camouflaging himself on the snow peak like a small snow heap.

With this setup, if he had a sniper rifle...

He reckons that within one or two kilometers, anyone he wants to kill wouldn't escape.

However, he wasn't using a sniper rifle, but instead, a camera.

This camera resembled a large barrel, definitely a telephoto camera.

Just how much it could zoom was hard to say, but he was indeed observing a very distant cottage.

This cottage couldn't really be called little; it looked small only to the naked eye, but with zooming in...

Through the telephoto lens, he would discover that this cottage was actually a quite nice snow mountain vacation villa.

And at this moment, Owen's lens was focused on the bright living room.

Yes, he was filming.

Does filming this help?

And what exactly is he filming?

The answer is very simple.

Owen had actually been keeping an eye on the Saint Master of the Descent Sect since his time in California.

But, this guy was really tough to track.

After all, it's quite an evil sect, not easy to deal with, and its power is now significant.

Luckily, this guy has now come out, which makes things much easier.

Although it was quite a task, Owen managed to find this opportunity.

Indeed, inside that snow mountain villa was the Saint Master Bishop of the Descent Sect.

And now, this guy was conversing with a woman.

This woman...

Owen really didn't know who this woman was, but judging by her demeanor, she was certainly someone of significance.

Interestingly, it wasn't just Bishop and this woman in the house; another notable figure was present.

Kobrand!

This top American cult priest, he was here too.

If ordinary Americans saw this scene, they would be absolutely shocked.

Weren't Bishop and Kobrand supposed to be archenemies?

Although neither of these guys were reliable religious figures, their positions were well-defined.

Bishop was aligned with the Democratic Party, while Kobrand was with the Republican Party.

So how could they both be here together? It's just too odd, isn't it?

And what's the story with that woman?

Anyone would have many questions, and certainly, Owen would too.

The point is, what good could come from filming like this?

Actually, it's very useful.

The footage was quite clear, and although Owen couldn't record audio, clarity was enough.

By reading their lip movements, he could understand their conversation.

Indeed, he just needed to find a lip-reading expert.

However, finding such specialists was quite a hassle.

Fortunately, Owen himself understood lip-reading.

In the past, while gathering intelligence in South America, he had used this trick as well.

And this time… with nothing around the villa, Bishop and company leisurely enjoyed the snowy landscape while chatting.

This opportunity allowed Owen to make great use of his skills.

Soon, he had gathered some fairly accurate intelligence.

In this icy wilderness, he could finally leave.

…

"Oh? So there's going to be a competition between the two sides?"

Zhou Mo Sen, upon seeing the footage Owen shot and after a brief analysis by this part-time lip-reading expert,

had acquired this intelligence.

This was very crucial.

In other words: Bishop's Descent Sect was going to have a showdown with this Kobrand guy in Utah.

Clearly, these cultists didn't concede to one another.

And this confrontation would likely involve something like a preaching event, as for that woman…

Zhou Mo Sen scrutinized her look and suddenly thought of something.

"This woman isn't simple."

Zhou Mo Sen hurriedly booted up his computer, then Googled.

He quickly discovered the woman's true identity.

Sheila Holmes.

US Congresswoman, her husband is Osborne Holmes.

He's a successful businessman and also serves in another role, as one of Kobrand's financial consultants.

That's right, their child is Elizabeth Holmes!

In fact, Zhou Mo Sen was inspired by the looks of Sheila Holmes.

Elizabeth Holmes, this young woman, she dropped out and started a business.

And she had a host of influential figures backing her all the way.

Having such a congresswoman mother and a businessman father was hardly surprising.

And now, the mother has gotten involved in the battle between two cults.

Clearly, the mother was adept at playing political games.

Although it wasn't entirely clear what they were discussing, the two cults competing...

likely involved a contest of 'skills'.

In the United States, engaging in such activities generally followed a few patterns.

Demonstrating miracles, essentially healing a sick person.

Usually, these sick people are mostly actors.

Claiming they couldn't see, or had a bad leg or something.

Then after some interaction with the Sect Leader, they were healed!

They could see, and their leg wasn't bad anymore.

There were plenty of such examples, and they were quite effective.

This was quite similar to that previous 'Health Sect'.

Simple and crude.

Bishop and his group… seemed to have had such actions, but usually, they spoke more about demons descending or Eastern philosophy, well, an interpretation of Laozi's teachings, etc.

This 'philosophical' preaching counted as a literary type.

There was also a martial type.

Zhou Mo Sen had gathered quite a bit of information from Zhao Ying and Jenny Li.

It's said that Bishop helped some people enter a meditative state, leading them to achieve a sense of euphoria in it.

This… strangely seemed akin to that 'Unity'.

You know, this Unity was promoted even by Yi Ningjing.

All in all… it seemed not easily manageable.

And as for that other guy, Kobrand, Zhou Mo Sen didn't really take an interest in confronting him.

But, this guy played another trick.

Exorcism.

Kobrand would shout and scream to drive away some devil or another.

With a particularly loud voice and exaggerated expressions, quite a number of people truly believed in him.

So evaluating from this…

Zhou Mo Sen developed a plan, though it carried some risk.

He directly asked Owen.

"Can you guarantee my absolute safety?"

The moment he said this, Owen nearly immediately understood.

"You want to go to the Descent Sect's preaching event?"

Zhou Mo Sen smiled and nodded, "I've already been invited several times before, not going would seem disrespectful."

This wasn't referring to Jenny Li, but Zhao Ying.

In short, Zhou Mo Sen had an inside contact and a bodyguard.

This time Bishop was stepping out of his lair again; here in Utah, no matter how saintly Bishop posed, he wouldn't dare go too far.

So, Zhou Mo Sen was quite confident.

And this time he wasn't doing it for James Wan or his close friends.

Mainly, Zhou Mo Sen believed, based on the current intelligence, he could do something about the Descent Sect.

Otherwise, this troublesome cult would continually interfere, which was very annoying.

Additionally, significant gains were likely, just like with Sheila Holmes.

Only, Zhou Mo Sen would need an 'actor'.

We're saying, if the cult was going to duel magic spells.

Then, if Bishop was going to perform some 'skills', Zhou Mo Sen couldn't be left out, right?

Who could it be?

Owen surely wouldn't do.

Then who else?

Zhou Mo Sen and Owen were naturally discussing this in his hotel room, and as they talked, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Dr. Zhou, it's me, Chris."

Chris Pratt?

Zhou Mo Sen confirmed through the peephole it was him, and then… haha!

He promptly opened the door and pulled Chris Pratt inside, and then...

Chris Pratt initially planned to distribute his Descent Sect flyers, but soon, he was dumbfounded.

Dr. Zhou asked me to join him…"
