Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

On the long, straight highway.

A McLaren GT was speeding by, creating a whirlwind as it roared past.

Inside the car.

Du Wei was just making a call to Alex.

He had thought he would spend a day and a half in Massas City, but hadn’t expected so many unexpected developments to occur in just about eight hours, forcing him to leave.

Therefore, Du Wei awkwardly realized that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

If he returned to New York now, the alibi he had deliberately created would be problematic because Alex had already gone to her parents’ city.

The two of them couldn’t return to New York together.

He might as well give Alex a call, report his safety, and chat about meeting her parents.

After thinking about it, Du Wei hung up, planning to find a more secluded stretch of road to park and sleep for the night.

But just as he hung up the phone, it rang again.

The caller was not Alex, but Officer Tom…

"Why is Tom calling me so late?”

Du Wei was a bit puzzled and pressed the answer button.

Soon, Tom’s voice came through, filled with panic, “fuck! Mister Du Wei, where are you right now? I need your help!”

Du Wei was startled and said in a deep voice, “Have you encountered the Evil Spirit?”

Tom’s voice trembled, “I don’t know if that damn thing is an Evil Spirit, but I definitely saw her, I… I was getting cozy with a beauty! It ended before it even started because she scared us!”

Du Wei frowned and asked, “Her?”

Tom, on the verge of breakdown, replied, “Yes, that beautiful neighbor I’ve been wanting to hit on, the one I told you about before. You haven’t forgotten, right?”

Du Wei responded, “I remember quite well.”

On the other end of the phone, Tom was even more distraught, “So where are you now? My best friend, I really need you!”

After thinking for a moment, Du Wei vaguely replied, “I’m not in New York right now, um… I’m visiting my girlfriend’s parents, but since you’re in trouble there, as a friend, I’m going to head back immediately.”

Tom expressed his gratitude, “Thank you so much, Du Wei. From now on, you’re my best brother!”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and then said with surprise, “Wait a second, didn’t you just tell me the day before yesterday that you had a wealthy girlfriend and today you’re meeting her parents? Did you knock her up or something?”

Du Wei’s face darkened, “I hope you can still say such things when the Evil Spirit appears again.”

Tom realized his mistake and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I was just a bit out of it from the scare, I feel like I’m going crazy if I don’t say something.”

Du Wei, who was well acquainted with Tom, replied with exasperation, “Ordinary Evil Spirits won’t attack people immediately, so you don’t need to be so afraid, and fear is the fertile ground that nurtures Evil Spirits.”

Tom was taken aback, “So you mean that as long as I stay calm, I’ll be okay?”

Du Wei countered, “It’s not that simple, staying calm will just make you live a little longer. That’s why you need to go straight to the church now and find Father Tony. Just say I referred you, and he will help you out.”

Tom breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately, “Okay, I’m heading to the church right now. When do you think you’ll get here?”

Du Wei calculated the time, “Before dawn.”

After speaking, he ended the call, turned the car around, and sped toward New York.

In this world, Tom was one of the few people Du Wei had a good relationship with and who had given him a lot of help.

And now, Du Wei had the ability to deal with some Evil Spirit incidents.

…

Elsewhere.

Tom hurried out of the Red Light District, wearing a shirt on the upper half of his body but only shorts on the lower half.

Reaching the parking spot, he yanked the car door open and started the vehicle, rushing towards the church in the North Brook District.

Overtaking and running red lights all the way…

Fortunately, there weren’t many vehicles on the street at that time, so Tom’s behavior didn’t cause too much of a disturbance.

However, halfway through his drive,

Tom glanced at the rearview mirror unintentionally, and the image reflected almost caused him to collapse.

In the mirror, sitting in the passenger’s seat was a woman in a long dress, with a figure and face that were both very appealing.

The woman’s head was drooping down, with a rope tied around her neck.

She was the beautiful neighbor Tom had been obsessing over, whom he watched come and go each day from his window.

"Fuck!”

Tom’s face turned extremely ugly, but when he turned his head to look at the passenger seat, he saw nothing.

"What’s happening?”

Tom was dumbfounded. Although he knew that Evil Spirits existed in this world and he had dealt with many such cases with his “good brother” Du Wei, this was his first actual encounter with one.

Suddenly…

Tom turned back and took another look in the rearview mirror. The Evil Spirit was still sitting in the passenger seat, and her drooping head was now turning toward him.

With a glance from the corner of his eye, there was still nothing visible in the passenger seat.

Ordinary people without Spirit Vision are the most helpless when facing an Evil Spirit.

Right then, Tom didn’t dare to look at the passenger seat again, sweating profusely, his shorts soaking wet…

Fuck!

Involuntarily, the speed of the car became even faster, nearly reaching its limit.

Tom kept his eyes on the road ahead, but his left eye was watching the rearview mirror.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

The Evil Spirit’s head in the rearview mirror had fully turned around, her whole face was looking at him, and it seemed to sense that he was watching it, as it leaned its head forward over his thigh.

He would meet its gaze if he just looked down.

But the thing was,

Tom couldn’t see the Evil Spirit at all unless he looked through the rearview mirror.

It was incredibly eerie.

Tom swallowed hard; he had been driving for nearly ten years, but never before had he driven with such intense focus as he was now.

He told himself, “Stay calm, don’t panic.”

But the more he thought this, the more he fell apart. He realized he simply couldn’t help but feel afraid.

And, the Evil Spirit’s head was on his thigh, lifting upward as if it meant to kiss him.

Tom controlled himself not to look at the rearview mirror, even boldly lifting his chin toward the unseen Evil Spirit.

He looked quite ridiculous. Stay updated via Novgo.com

But it must be said that after Tom lifted his chin, he could only see what was ahead, unable to see the horrifying image in the rearview mirror anymore.

Time ticked by slowly.

Tom suddenly realized that he wasn’t scared anymore; aside from a bit of neck pain, everything else felt fine.

However, if he could see the image in the rearview mirror, he probably wouldn’t have had such a thought.

Because in the rearview mirror, a rope was now looped around his neck, showing a tendency to be pulled upward.

His so-called lifting of the chin looked more like the effect of a rope tied around his neck, being lifted upward.
