Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 188 187, When it's dark, please close your eyes

Du Wei arrived home after six in the evening.

After the call with Alex and dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

On the first floor.

Du Wei sat on the sofa, staring at the white mask in front of him.

The surface of the mask was covered with cracks, with many small openings frayed at the edges, and the hollow eyes were like black holes, the longer he stared, the more he felt an irresistible urge to keep looking.

This mask was the bridge between Du Wei and the Evil Spirit Du Wei, and also a special medium.

After putting it on, he would assume the identity of an Evil Spirit, but on the flip side, his perspective would be shared with the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

Very useful, but also very dangerous.

Now, Du Wei had acquired another mask without facial features and had completely trapped the Evil Spirit inside.

In terms of ability, the identity of the Evil Spirit with the other mask was displayed to full effect, and all evil spirits targeting Du Wei would lose their mark after he put on the mask.

Unless Du Wei took off the mask, the Evil Spirits would not find him.

Moreover, the mask without facial features had none of the hidden threats of the Evil Spirit Du Wei because the Evil Spirit inside it could not possibly come out.

As time ticked away.

The light in the room gradually dimmed.

He didn't turn on the light...

The Antique Clock continued its mechanical and rhythmic movements, making a ticking sound.

Annabelle stayed obediently in the display cabinet as if a collected exhibit.

As for the shadow... it still lurked in the darkness.

But Du Wei knew that if he showed any weakness, the shadow would definitely be the first to attack him.

After all, among all evil spirits, none was more persistent and determined to kill him.

Du Wei pondered for a while.

He took out a mirror and placed it in front of himself.

Before him was his slightly pale, yet calm-eyed, face.

When alone, the non-human aura about him grew even more severe.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Du Wei began to make psychological suggestions to himself.

...

"A mirror has split me into two."

"Looking at myself in the mirror is the same as the me in the mirror looking at the me outside."

"Evil Spirit Du Wei is a part of me, but it is not me, and now I will accept its existence."

"When I close my eyes, the mirror becomes the Heart of the Lake, and I am on the surface, while the Evil Spirit Du Wei is at the bottom."

Soon...

The Evil Spirit Du Wei appeared before Du Wei on the surface of the lake.

Its expression was equally impassive.

But the Evil Spirit Du Wei looked even colder and more sinister, while Du Wei appeared more detached, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

In this aspect, the Evil Spirit Du Wei seemed more human.

Du Wei looked at it, and it also looked back at Du Wei.

After a lengthy silence, the Evil Spirit Du Wei was the first to speak, "I didn't expect you to give up using the Joker Card and even discover the secret of the mask."

The voice was cold but with an inexplicable implication, seemingly unregretful.

Upon hearing this, Du Wei replied indifferently, "I also didn't expect that you could impose psychological suggestions on me, and I only found out at the very end."

As he spoke, Du Wei added, "When I learned about the affairs of Massas City, I wasn't wearing the mask. You shouldn't have known that, which means, at some stage, our memories must have synchronized."

He received no response.

Du Wei didn't care and continued talking to himself, "I thought about it and figured that it should have been after I sank to the bottom of the lake and returned to reality that you accessed my memories, but that doesn't quite fit."

"Because when I entered the Heart of the Lake, you were already imposing psychological suggestions on me, and the prerequisite for that is that you had already confirmed that I would go to Massas City."

"So, you must have another move planned."

Although Du Wei's words were phrased as a question, his tone was full of certainty.

Upon finishing, he stared intently at the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

The Evil Spirit Du Wei showed no surprise but nodded directly, "You're right, and I don't mind telling you what my next move is because you will encounter him very soon."

"Him?"

Du Wei frowned, "James, Harry, or Father Tony?"

During the time the Evil Spirit Du Wei had possessed his body, the only people he had come into contact with were James and the others, as well as Father Tony.

The nature of the Evil Spirit Du Wei is that of an evil spirit.

Given that evil spirits have the characteristic of spreading, anyone who has had contact with it could potentially become its next move.

Similar to what the Veda Sect does.

But after careful thought, Du Wei ruled out Father Tony.

Because at the time, the Evil Spirit Du Wei realized its true nature while inside the clinic.

Before that, it was indeed himself.

Or rather, it was Du Wei as one individual.

It's impossible for a human to possess the methods of an evil spirit.

The next second.

Du Wei spoke in an icy tone, "It's James."
