Chapter 253 Collision
Chapter 253 Collision
After Du Wei asked about the cost of using the Coin.
Father Tony was quite embarrassed, "Uh... the cost... the cost is substantial."
Du Wei frowned and said, "How substantial?"
Luck is something completely subjective, and the Coin possessing this power is very rare.
If the cost of using it wasn't too severe, he didn't mind considering it as his last trump card.
The next second.
Father Tony replied, "There are two Evil Spirits in this Coin, the obverse is a skull, and the reverse is a scythe."
"No matter which side your coin lands on, you will encounter an Evil Spirit."
"In other words, the cost is that they will haunt you until the day you die."
"Most importantly, if you land on the reverse side, which is the unlucky side, there's a chance the Evil Spirit will attack you directly... because that's also part of the misfortune."
"The obverse signifies good fortune, but sometimes too much luck can be a problem as well."
After saying that, Father Tony furrowed his brow and added, "By the way, you haven't gotten yourself into any trouble, have you?"
Du Wei replied with surprise, "Why do you ask?"
Father Tony said, "If you've caused a lot of trouble, then it's possible that when you land on the reverse, all of that trouble will erupt."
Hearing this.
Du Wei's face darkened; he couldn't even recall how many troubles he had on his plate.
To speak of recent issues, there were the nuns and the Evil Spirit Du Wei, and then there were the batch of Evil Spirits that he had trapped in Massas City.
Even inside his villa in New York, there was a dangerous Evil Spirit that could erupt at any moment.
At home, there were the shadows, Annabelle, Pennywise, and the Antique Clock.
"Alright then..."
Du Wei let out two very conflicted words. He really didn't want to give up the Coin, since if used well, it could be a killer move at a critical moment.
As for using it poorly...
If it came to that, he'd just wear a mask and let the shadow take the brunt. All the misfortune should land on it. If worse came to worst and unexpected trouble did erupt, he'd just use the Joker Card to make his escape.
He could even cheat by combining it with the Joker Card.
As long as he didn't overdo it, the Coin could become his most useful tool.
After all, luck is an unsolvable problem...
At this moment.
Father Tony, as if he had just remembered something, added, "Oh right, there's a new notice from the church. It seems like the Veda Sect has dispatched a group of Cultists from Europe, and they're still eyeing Massas City."
There was no other possibility.
And so,
he sneered, slowly navigated his car, and switched lanes once more.
Behind him,
inside the black sedan,
Hannibal looked at the McLaren GT ahead of him, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening. He resembled a hunter with a very steadfast patience and composure.
"It seems I have been spotted, how interesting..."
"So, where do you intend to lead me?"
The use of the word "interesting" by two different people inevitably led one to think that they might have some common ground.
Indeed, it was the same case. Hannibal held many identities; he was once a university professor specializing in psychology, but for some reason, he developed psychological issues and turned into a Cannibalistic Ogre.
Later, he disappeared for a while and when he resurfaced, he had joined the Dusk Bell Church and became a hunter.

Du Wei, on the other hand, came from a forensic background and studied psychology intending to commit revenge murders.
At that time, his psychological state was also somewhat abnormal. His enemy suffered immensely on a mental level and ultimately committed suicide by jumping off a building.
With the death of his enemy, Du Wei's psychological state finally stabilized, and as a result, he was colder than anyone else.
Among hunters, he was also the most unique one.
Two hunters with similarities, one bloodthirsty and elegant, the other calm and rational.
...
At the department store,
Du Wei parked his car in the parking lot and deliberately lingered for a while.
Following close behind, Hannibal saw this and the subtle look in his eyes intensified.
So, he simply parked his car next to Du Wei's.
The two cars were right next to each other.
Through the windows, one could see the figure of the other, and even though it was somewhat blurry, the general outline was still clear.
Du Wei was staring at Hannibal, and Hannibal was staring back at Du Wei.
Almost simultaneously, both of them revealed cold smiles.
Whoosh...
The car doors opened at the same time...
