Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 128 127, Tuxedo

in victor's room.

du wei's pace came to a halt, and in his spirit vision state, he stared at the man wearing a tuxedo whose face he couldn't make out, his gaze not moving in the slightest.

victor, on the other hand, looked on with a puzzled face, being an ordinary person, she couldn't see the evil spirit.

or perhaps, the time had not yet come.

she watched du wei, expressionless, holding a black umbrella in one hand, silent, wanting to ask if something was amiss, yet not daring to speak, she could only remain silent.

at this very moment.

in du wei's eyes, the tuxedo-clad man was acting very strangely.

the feeling he gave was completely different from past encounters with evil spirits.

there was no sense of imminent death, nor that gloomy and terrifying feeling, just a peculiar eeriness.

"is this an evil spirit?"

du wei asked himself in his mind, his left hand gripping the handle of the black umbrella ever so slightly without actually opening it.

because he noticed that the evil spirit in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of killing anyone for the time being, as it hadn't made any move since it appeared.

this was very strange...

typically, evil spirits are terrifying, and anyone could become their target, especially if they've had direct contact.

suddenly, du wei had a bold idea in his mind.

he took out a lighter from his pocket and walked toward the man whose face he couldn't see.

he gently pressed the lighter.

a red flame emerged, and the man seemed to sense something, lifting his head and looking towards du wei.

the man's face was still unclear.

du wei couldn't even be sure if it had facial features, but at that moment, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

thinking of this, du wei asked victor, "may i boldly ask, has your father ever told you about this? or when you were a child, did you ever discover an extra person at the vineyard?"

victor shook her head, "my father passed away when i was very young. he never told me anything, and as for your other question, i cannot give you an answer."

then she asked, "mr. du wei, is that extra person the evil spirit you just discovered?"

du wei denied, "no, that means ideally, there should now be two evil spirits in the vineyard—one i discovered and the other is that nonexistent person you mentioned."

victor fell silent for a moment, then said, "what should we do now? they are still partying in the hall; do i need to stop the party first?"

du wei pondered for a moment and said, "let me think. the evil spirit i encountered seems to be unable to act for now. this might be related to the thing your great-grandfather acquired because that thing is protecting the safety of the vineyard."

"however, as far as i know, its protective effect will diminish as the evil spirit makes its presence known. when that happens, the evil spirit suspected to be your great-grandfather will start to kill."

"then, there is that nonexistent person, who should have always been there, appearing periodically."

"i'm curious, did your ancestors ever seek help from an exorcist when they encountered such incidents?"

"they didn't... it seems they resolved it on their own."

"well then... in that case, please cancel the party and have everyone leave, including you."

"why? wouldn't we be in more danger after we leave?"

"please don't worry about that because the unseen person and the evil spirit suspected to be your great-grandfather should be unable to leave this vineyard."

"once everyone has left, i will deal with the evil spirit in the vineyard."

the truth was there was another solution—finding the thing that victor's great-grandfather acquired. but given the current tricky situation and lack of information, there was no way to confirm what that thing actually was.

with the vineyard covering such a vast area, finding one object would be extremely difficult.

hence, du wei could only employ the most direct and brute method of elimination—if the living leave, what kind of person cannot?

the answer was an evil spirit...

after discussing with victor, du wei prepared to leave the room and return to the hall to announce the situation.

but just as they reached the stairway, alex, wearing a beige dress, walked up leisurely.

she looked at du wei, walking shoulder to shoulder with victor, and displayed a charming yet dangerous smile, "darling, you came to attend sister victor's party, and you didn't give me a heads-up?"
