Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 80 080, In the Torrential Rain

The rain intensified gradually.

By the time Du Wei and company arrived at the entrance of the psychological counseling clinic, a torrential downpour had begun.

Before opening the door, Du Wei paused, turned his expressionless face, and looked at the three Exorcists.

The elder among the Exorcists was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Du Wei, is there something you would like to say?"

After a moment of silence, Du Wei calmly said, "I apologize, Mr. James... I just feel like I've forgotten something..."

This was true, as ever since the mask fell off, he sensed something off about himself.

The man he addressed as James spoke in a deep voice, "Your state does seem a bit strange, probably due to being eroded by the Evil Spirit for too long. However, for an Exorcist, such things are inevitable."

Du Wei looked slightly peculiar, "Is that so?"

The female Exorcist among the group nodded and said in a gentle tone, "Of course, the Exorcists at the church often encounter such things. After the matters in New York are settled, you can take some time to go to the church and receive baptism. Everything should return to normal then."

"Well then, please come in..."

Du Wei turned his head back and pushed the door open directly.

Seeing this, the female Exorcist couldn't help but feel puzzled. It was true that Exorcists from the church, due to handling Evil Spirit events for long periods, would indeed exhibit abnormal psychological states, but it seemed somewhat different with the man known as "Du Wei" before her.

However, where exactly the difference lay, she couldn't pinpoint.

"Perhaps, I'm just overthinking it."

Just then, the middle-aged man James, who had already followed inside the house, looked back at her and said, "What are you daydreaming about, Homier? Hurry up and come inside."

Homier quickly snapped out of it, "My apologies, Mr. James."

The remaining Exorcist, without uttering a word, stood outside without entering.

To this, neither James nor Homier showed any reaction, as if they hadn't seen it at all.

Once they were inside the house.

Homier saw Du Wei sitting on the sofa, propping his chin with his Right Hand and placing the other on his knee, behaving with utmost grace and appearing extremely gentlemanly, which easily engendered a favorable impression.

Hung on the wall behind was an old Antique Clock and a cabinet with mounted figures.

James agreed, "Absolutely. Harry was probably in the Spirit Vision state while standing outside, whereas Homier and I weren't. We only felt that something was off with you."

With that said, he turned and asked Harry in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Harry approached, first giving Du Wei a very eerie look, then slowly stated, "This place gives me a feeling of terror. Everything here is terrifying, including this new companion who has joined the church."

"Is that so?" Du Wei's expression appeared surprised, yet his tone was very calm, "Why do you find it terrifying? Is it because you've sensed the Evil Spirit?"

Frowning, Harry said, "It's not just the Evil Spirit, many things here are strange."

He paused, then pointed one by one, "The television, the Antique Clock, the framed cabinet, this clinic, and you. This is the most incomprehensible Evil Spirit incident I've encountered since joining the church."

In an instant.

The expressions on the faces of James and Homier, who were sitting on the sofa, stiffened. Although Harry had not been with the church for long, his talent in Spirit Vision was quite strong and he often played the role of the investigator among the three.

"Mr. Du Wei, please don't be concerned. We Exorcists are a big family, and we'll help you with the troubles you're facing as much as possible."

As the oldest Exorcist and the leader among the three, James pondered for a moment before immediately seeking to calm Du Wei.

He was concerned that Harry's words might frighten the new member.

Certain Evil Spirits can indeed affect houses and even objects. Perhaps this psychological counseling clinic has encountered such an Evil Spirit.

Because he knew that this companion had only been with the church and been an Exorcist for three days, his experience would surely be lacking.

When a newly initiated Exorcist faces this kind of situation, they can easily lose control of their emotions, thereby falling into fear and dread.

And negative emotions like fear and dread will only make the power of the Evil Spirit grow stronger.

But to James's surprise, when Du Wei heard this, not a trace of change appeared on his face, not even in his tone—it was utterly calm.

Even eerily calm.

"I'm not worried, so please, let's continue..."

"All right, regarding those two Evil Spirits, what behaviors do they exhibit? This will help us locate them and drive them out of your home."

"If you want to find them, it's actually quite simple. One is in the bathroom on the second floor. Whenever I turn on the tap, it drifts out and floats in the sink."

"As for the other, you just need to stand outside the door, close it, and look through the peephole."
