Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 36 036, Possessed by an Evil Spirit?

10:50.

When Mrs. Mina mentioned that she had dreamt about herself,

Du Wei put down his pencil, ceasing his writing on the paper.

Sitting across from him, Mrs. Mina's complexion turned exceptionally ghastly, her eyes glazed and limbs shaking uncontrollably, as if afflicted by some sort of illness.

Du Wei knew this was a natural reaction when faced with a terrifying fragment of experience.

Thus, he spoke calmly, "Please stay calm, Mrs. Mina, otherwise our conversation may not proceed normally, and besides, you wouldn't want to frighten your child, would you?"

As his words reached the air, Du Wei glanced at the blonde little girl who kept her head down, silent. For some reason, he always felt that this little girl was eerily calm.

Unnaturally so, for a child of her age.

After a moment's thought, Du Wei entered into the state of Spirit Vision.

Before his eyes,

wisps of ethereal black spider silk-like things still clung around Mrs. Mina; of course, they were illusory.

And her daughter, she was the source...

Du Wei saw that when the blonde little girl kept her head down, her body harbored a kind of profound malice.

"Please continue," he prompted.

Du Wei absent-mindedly rubbed the pencil in his hand and suddenly smiled.

At the same time, he exited the Spirit Vision state, his body largely unaffected as long as he didn't enter the Third Phase.

Moreover, in his own home, even with the presence of an Evil Spirit, he didn't need to worry about his own safety.

At this moment, Mrs. Mina across from him wasn't swayed by Du Wei's words back to rationality; instead, she teetered on the edge of collapse, struggling to stay calm, yet completely unable to suppress that innate fear.

"I... I... Mr. Exorcist, I'm feeling very..."

"Frightened?"

"Yes, very afraid, very scared..."

"Then let's keep it brief. Did you dream that you died?"

"...Yes, I died three days later."

"Why three days later?"

"Because I saw the calendar."

"So... in the dream, did your image give you any hints? Like how your brother pointed at the door, or your husband trying to convey a message to you?"

In a place occupied by two exceptionally terrifying Evil Spirits, plus a strange Antique Clock and himself, the hunter...

The safety was imaginable.

Of course, this only referred to the daytime, not the night.

Seeing Du Wei silent, Mrs. Mina didn't dare to make a sound and disturb Mr. Exorcist; she could only wait anxiously.

After a good while,

Du Wei finally spoke, "Please come out with me, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Uh... okay."

Mrs. Mina stood up following Du Wei, and called to her daughter, "Kelly, come..."

"No, no, no."

Du Wei waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Mina, what I meant was just you and me, as for your daughter, let's leave her here; she'll be fine."

Mrs. Mina was a bit troubled, but didn't say much more: "I understand."

She soothed Kelly.

"Just wait a little while, Kelly, mommy will be back soon, okay?"

The blonde little girl, Kelly, bowed her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's: "Mommy, I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, Kelly, Uncle Exorcist's home is very safe."

...

Outside the psychological counseling clinic.

Du Wei closed the door and said to Mrs. Mina who looked somewhat bewildered, "What I'm about to tell you might be hard to accept, but please try to stay calm, can you do that?"

"Please go ahead."

Du Wei hummed affirmatively, then said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, your child Kelly... well, there's something not quite right with her."

"What?"

Mrs. Mina's face darkened: "Mr. Exorcist, Mina has been traumatized recently, she's become quite shy, but she is very normal."

However, Du Wei replied calmly, "So, Mrs. Mina, can you still feel that invisible person now?"

"This..."

Mrs. Mina's face turned very ugly in an instant, and she stepped back, shaking her head, "I don't believe it, Kelly is fine, she couldn't possibly be the Evil Spirit."

In a flat tone, Du Wei said to her, "I think you've misunderstood; I'm not questioning her existence, I just believe that your daughter has been possessed by the Evil Spirit."
