Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 39 039, Horror House (Modified)

Psychological counseling clinic.

After returning home, Du Wei grabbed his backpack and checked the antique clock on the wall one more time. Having confirmed there was no issue, he prepared to leave.

He was fully prepared, ready to face any emergency situation.

He closed the door, crossed the street, approached the Subaru Impreza, opened the car door, settled into the driver's seat, and started the vehicle to drive away.

Not long after he had left,

five black sedans slowly stopped at the doorstep of his neighbor, Roy.

Two minutes later.

Several women dressed in black uniforms stepped out of the cars, looking up and surveying their surroundings.

It seemed they were looking for something...

Then, they turned their gaze towards the psychological counseling clinic, whispering among themselves.

...

2:40 PM.

New York, Orlando Area's amusement park.

After parking his car, Du Wei, with his backpack on, hurried toward the Horror House.

Today was Thursday, and there weren't many visitors to the park, so it wasn't overcrowded.

Glancing around, only the more popular, major attractions had crowds gathered around them.

"Good day, sir. Would you like to try the thrilling skyscraper ride?"

"The big roller coaster, just one minute, will give you the most thrilling view experience."

"Thank you, no need!"

Politely declining the staff's enthusiasm, Du Wei finally arrived at his destination.

Annabelle's Horror House.

The whole Horror House looked quite old; the exaggerated gargoyle reliefs at the entrance were damaged and fading, and the staff standing by the door seemed listless.

However, there were still a fair number of men and women seeking thrills.

In the short time Du Wei stood observing, four college student-like individuals entered, laughing and joking among themselves.

Meanwhile, Du Wei stood at the entrance, looking inside.

The entrance hallway, deliberately kept dark to block out light, was pitch-black, too dark to see one's hand in front of the face.

[Spirit Vision]

He remembered that when he was a forensic major in his student days, a junior girl invited him to watch a horror movie at the cinema, which seemed to be called "Deadly Ghosts Jiangyin". He forced himself to watch halfway through and had already figured out the entire plot progression, feeling no sense of horror whatsoever.

Later on, the girl invited him again, and he thoroughly rejected her.

That was the only horror movie he had ever seen.

Compared to horror movies, horror houses seem even more lowbrow.

As he went deeper, dim lights began to appear around him, and he could vaguely make out the things in front of him.

In front of the ticket storage box stood four university students he had seen before, discussing something in low voices.

When Du Wei arrived, one of the Caucasian men greeted him, "Hey, sir, want to go in together?"

The other three also looked towards Du Wei.

"Why should we go in together?"

Du Wei found it strange; if these people came to the Horror House for fun, why would they invite him?

The Caucasian man said awkwardly, "Actually, this is the oldest and scariest Horror House in the Orlando Area, and we're a little afraid... hesitant about whether we really want to go in and experience it..."

"I don't quite suggest you go in with me. Of course, I also don't suggest you come to this Horror House for fun; it's best to leave quickly."

As Du Wei spoke, his face was expressionless; he disliked the idea of other people following him when he was doing something.

Moreover, there truly existed an Evil Spirit inside this Horror House; even though no one knew, the danger was imaginable.

However, upon hearing Du Wei's words, the others felt as if they were being looked down upon.

"Hey, mister, we've bought tickets," said the Caucasian man, waving the tickets in his hand while the other three shrugged their shoulders.

"Forget it, Bob, let's just go with the four of us; it's all about seeking a thrill anyway."

Bob, the Caucasian man, nodded and stopped talking to Du Wei. After they all placed their tickets in the storage box and the hidden door in the wall slowly opened.

The light inside was very dim, and in the vast shadows, some outlines could be seen, as if hiding something.

Du Wei didn't bother to say more, followed by dropping his ticket and walking in as well.

Seeing Du Wei follow, Bob inwardly looked down on this Asian man, but he didn't think much of it and took it as having an extra person for more security.

But the next second,

Bang! The door closed heavily!

Darkness engulfed the surroundings in an instant.

Utter silence...

In the darkness, Du Wei furrowed his brows. At the moment the door shut, under the state of Spirit Vision, he felt something unusual, as if with the closing of the door, the entire Horror House had become cut off from the outside world, turning oppressively gloomy and somber.

He suddenly felt that this trip to the Horror House seemed to have undergone an uncontrollable change.
