Chapter 367: Drink more hot water
Outside the villa.
Du Wei stood in the rain, his clothes already drenched.
His hair appeared slightly disheveled, and his complexion pallid due to the temperature.
In front of him,
stood the increasingly blurry figure of the Evil Spirit Du Wei.
After a long while,
...
Du Wei broke the silence first, “As for so-called dead-ends, I’ve encountered too many, but every time, I am the winner.”
The Evil Spirit Du Wei spoke calmly, “You are just playing with your life. Even without the crises I bring upon you, you wouldn’t be able to keep this up. Sooner or later, you’ll die at the hands of an evil spirit.”
Du Wei nodded, “I realized this a long time ago.”
The Evil Spirit Du Wei gave a slight smile, “During the days I was trapped in the Mirror World, it seems you’ve discovered new power? Is it the Evil Spirit Transformation ability, or something else?”
Du Wei smiled back, “Of course, it’s an ability.”
Having said that, he continued, “You see, the connection between you and me relies on our shared memories. The more my memories differ from yours, the less you resemble me.”
“In fact, you should be the one worrying, not me.”
“Du Wei is just a name; I could be called Du Wei, and so could anyone else.”
“The memories carried by this name are what’s crucial.”
“I am always me, but you might not be yourself.”
These words mirrored the way the Evil Spirit Du Wei had spoken before.
Their tones, inflections, and speaking habits showed no discernible differences.
One man and one evil spirit faced each other.
It was an exceedingly eerie scene, their gazes equally cold, expressions becoming synchronized, even their standing postures indistinguishable.
If not for the stark contrast in their auras, one might think that one was the reflection of the other in a mirror.
Du Wei wanted the Evil Spirit Du Wei dead.
The Evil Spirit Du Wei wanted to take back “his” body.
Their relationship was that of absolute adversaries.
The only exception had been during the encounter with Mary Shaw.
That evil spirit had set its sights on the Evil Spirit Du Wei, so their personalities and memories synced up for the Evil Spirit Du Wei to control the body and kill Mary Shaw. ȑАɴȰ????Εs
But since then, the Evil Spirit Du Wei had become stronger and more terrifying.
It was hard to imagine there could be an evil spirit stronger than it.
At the very least, it would have to be on the level of a Demon Spirit; otherwise, it wouldn’t have much effect.
After all, Evil Spirit Du Wei wasn’t human by nature, and generally speaking, very few evil spirits would court death by setting their sights on it.
At this moment, the Evil Spirit Du Wei glanced at Du Wei and said with a profound tone, “I won’t deny what you’ve said because I find it meaningless.”
“I have a way to resolve it.”
“What about you? The dangers of Evil Spirit Transformation are causing your humanity to slip away at an ever-increasing speed. Before long, you will turn into an evil spirit.”
“Will you find a solution?”
The raging wind had no effect on him.
Somehow, he uttered, “I hate this world.”
Then the Evil Spirit Du Wei spread his arms and leapt down.
His nearly transparent body plummeted.
There was no sensation of weightlessness.
Everything was just an outward manifestation of his will.
Gradually...
...
In Switzerland.
It was raining here too, though the rain was not heavy.
In James’s room.
Ryan was looking seriously at the patient with closed eyes, seemingly deeply asleep.
It started yesterday.
James became oddly different; his personality and his eyes had subtly changed, even if no one else saw anything amiss.
But as an “excellent” psychiatrist and one who had been promoted to the level of director, Ryan saw at a glance that James’s condition had worsened.
At this very moment.
Ryan observed James, constantly thinking to himself, “The director said yesterday that James’s condition had become more severe and told me to stay far away from him.”
“But as the most loyal subordinate of the director, the most reliable one, how could I, Ryan, lightly give up?”
“I must cure James, to be seen in a new light by the director.”
“After all, the director said to give the patient whatever medication I wanted.”
“With the director away, who can control what I, Ryan, do?”
With these thoughts.
Ryan snorted with immense pride, “One day, the medical world will remember the name Ryan, I Ryan am... uh... what was it again?”
As he spoke, Ryan’s face contorted with conflict.
He slapped his forehead but couldn’t think of the right word.
After a while, Ryan’s eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead again, exclaiming, “I, Ryan, am awesome!”
But having said that, Ryan became conflicted again, questioning himself, “Wait, that’s not right, I’m a doctor, an educated and talented individual, why is my vocabulary so limited!”
“Huh, have I been educated?”
Ryan looked somewhat lost, scratching his messy hair, when James was awakened by the commotion he had caused.
“You... you... I’ve changed the lock, how can you still get into my room?”
One sentence interrupted Ryan’s train of thought.
He shook his head, forgetting what he had just been thinking, and approached James with a forced smile, “I’m a doctor, how could I not have the keys to the patient rooms, huh? By the way, are you thirsty? I’ve prepared some hot water for you.”
As he spoke, he unscrewed the lid of a thermos cup and handed it to James.
The water inside the thermos was steaming hot...
