Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 226 225, Suspected Demon Spirit

After Du Wei put on that new Evil Spirit Mask.

All the puppets, including the hidden Evil Spirit Mary Shaw, were plunged into chaos.

The puppets malfunctioned one after another, shaking their heads as they looked around for a target.

But it was all in vain.

Once Du Wei had put on the mask, his entire being seemed to be encased in a shell of evil spirits, spooky and terrifying, with an entirely changed demeanor.

Before removing the mask, he would exist as an Evil Spirit.

At the same time, the Evil Spirits that were after him would lose their target.

With an expressionless face, Du Wei walked towards the depths of the wheat field amidst the confused puppets.

In his right hand, he held the Joker Card that granted wishes, ready to act at any moment.

But gradually.

Among those puppets, a pair of cold and malicious eyes suddenly fixed on Du Wei.

There was confusion and struggle in its gaze.

After a moment's hesitation, as if catching a scent, it seemed to perceive something.

Its eyes then showed a hint of greed and desire.

All the puppets, as if receiving a signal, chased after Du Wei.

...

At this time.

The sky was continuously streaked with lightning.

Outside the wheat field, Slivka and his group gathered together, standing to the south of the field, looking northward.

Although they were far away, they could still make out an influx of humanoid silhouettes pouring into the wheat field.

"It seems Mr. Du Wei has already entered the wheat fields... But aren't there too many puppets? What in the world are those things!"

Slivka's face was ghastly pale, and his voice shook.

Having been with the church for decades, he had never encountered such terror.

Bishop Jon's expression was very grim. He took a deep breath and said, "I think we should withdraw. It can no longer be considered an Evil Spirit. It is almost becoming a Demon Spirit..."

"Du Wei is wrong. His method will not kill this thing and instead will lead to his death here."

Hearing this,

Slivka gasped and couldn't help blurting out, "Are you sure that thing is turning into a Demon Spirit?"

Although his position in the church was higher than Jon's, his experience was not nearly as extensive.

Jon nodded deeply: "I am very certain because many years ago when I served Archbishop Alvin Dowqui, he mentioned Demon Spirits."

In the church's records, there were Ghosts, Evil Spirits, Evil Spirits, Demon Spirits, and some even more sinister things.

The difference between Evil Spirits and Evil Spirits was in their characteristics—one actively killed people, while the other only killed passively.

Standing at the center of the wheat field, Du Wei held a burning lighter in his left hand and a Joker Card in his right hand, making a wish.

His voice was incomparably cold: "From now on, I will be the sole target of the Evil Spirit Mary Shaw. All the puppets shall confront me in this wheat field, relentless until death!"

Du Wei had already filled all the prerequisites to kill the Evil Spirit Mary Shaw using the Joker Card.

At that moment.

As he had wished, all the puppets standing in the wheat field went mad and charged directly at him.

Outside the wheat field, some previously hidden puppets appeared, one after another, burrowing into the burning wheat.

The flames, crimson and leaping, were utterly unaffected by the rainwater and burned even more fiercely when touching the puppets, like gasoline had been poured on them.

Among the puppets, a terrifying aura suddenly surged.

Evil Spirit Mary Shaw, surrounded by puppets, approached Du Wei.

With each step, the oppressive sensation grew stronger.

Du Wei could hardly breathe, and surrounded by flames, he couldn't stop coughing.

If he stayed any longer.

He figured he would be burned to death, but now he had made his wish.

Wherever he went, Evil Spirit Mary Shaw and the puppets would follow.

In other words, if he wanted to survive and chose to leave the wheat field before the flames completely closed in, all efforts would be in vain.

But at that moment, Du Wei removed the mask from his face, shedding the Evil Spirit's shell, and began to sneer.

"With the mask on, I become another Masked Evil Spirit. And now that I have taken off the mask, I have become Du Wei again. Go ahead, kill it!"

Having said that, Du Wei flung the Masked Evil Spirit far into the wheat field.

The puppets uncontrollably lunged in that direction.

Such was the intrinsic power of the Joker Card; the puppets couldn't resist this force.

But...

Evil Spirit Mary Shaw did not move; it stood before Du Wei, its decaying face growing increasingly fierce.

The puppets are an extension of its power, individuals, hence they cannot defy the power of the Joker Card.

But Evil Spirit Mary Shaw was different, it now had two targets: the Evil Spirit Mask and Du Wei.

It had the right to choose and also the ability to kill Du Wei.

But then.

Du Wei looked at it and coldly said, "You should know, there's more than one Evil Spirit that wants to kill me!"

After speaking, he immediately ceased the Evil Spirit Transformation and mentally conditioned himself.

He began to feel fear...

Tied to his right hand, a red balloon faintly revealed the outline of a clown, gradually becoming clearer.

"Hehehe..."

The laugh of Pennywise Clown sounded once more.
