Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

Chapter 231: I’m putting my cards on the table.

In the wheat field.

Bishop Slivka looked on with a face full of shock as Du Wei snatched the red balloon, and the monster, resembling a clown, directly transformed into black smoke and burrowed into the balloon.

He couldn’t imagine what was happening.

He could understand that the red balloon was a medium for the Evil Spirit.

But why did this Evil Spirit seem to be perfectly restrained by Du Wei, showing no ability to resist in his hands?

Something’s not right…

Since when did Evil Spirits become so weak?

At that moment, Du Wei, who was standing opposite the others, also removed his mask, and in front of everyone, he stuffed the red balloon into his backpack.

He even patted it, as if he were packing goods…

This act, witnessed by the others, relaxed them quite a bit.

It’s still a person…

The inexplicable fear they had felt earlier, along with the cold aura, had also dissipated a great deal.

What remained terrifying was emanating from the Right Hand of the man standing in front of them.

"Mr. Du Wei… what exactly is your situation now? And that red balloon, are you sure putting it into your backpack won’t cause any problems?”

"Don’t worry, it’s safest in my hands.”

Having glanced at Bishop Slivka, Du Wei pondered for a moment before continuing, “As for my current situation, I don’t know how to explain it to you, because it seems I have entered an Evil Spirit Transformation state.”

Opportunely.

A very complex expression emerged on his face, bearing both worry and fear.

Bishop Jon kept staring at Du Wei’s Right Hand without pause, and after a while, he asked, “The thing you just dealt with, was it Yard City’s Evil Spirit?”

Answered Du Wei, “Yes, but it was much more terrifying than any Evil Spirit I have encountered before.”

In a certain sense, that was indeed the case.

If Evil Spirit Du Wei appeared only after his own death, it could not use those items, and it was highly likely to be killed by Mary Shaw.

Bishop Jon’s expression turned grave as he said coldly, “That thing was almost transforming into a Demon Spirit, yet it still died by your hand. There are many problems with this, even if you were in an Evil Spirit Transformation, you shouldn’t have been able to kill it directly.”

Inside the church, hunters are a very sensitive group.

They are capable of actively hunting Evil Spirits.

But due to the risks associated with Evil Spirit Transformation, everyone is filled with awe towards hunters.

Certain Exorcists wouldn’t even be privy to information about hunters.

Only the elite and those at the bishop level had access to such secrets.

And Jon was among those privy to more confidential information.

Looking at Du Wei, his voice laden with deep suspicion, he said, “Go through the details of how you killed it.”

Du Wei nodded and began to recount in a perplexed tone, “Actually, I’m also not very clear about what happened. All I know is it was chasing me the entire time, and I discovered its killing mechanism involved screaming—any scream would result in death, so I could only keep running. Then came the incident in the wheat field.”

"I felt desperate at the time, and my Right Hand also began to undergo some strange changes. After that, as you saw earlier, I grabbed it with this hand and used a Dagger to kill it.”

He briefly went over the events, but he did not reveal any information about Evil Spirit Du Wei.

An Evil Spirit with personality, memory, and logical thought is the living nightmare of a human being.

And to make matters worse, it was Evil Spirit Du Wei.

If the church knew of its existence, they would surely take measures to eradicate the problem from its roots.

To kill Du Wei along with it.

The main reason Du Wei chose to withhold information was to steer the conversation towards the abilities of hunters.

And that was what he urgently needed.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jon immediately asked, “Let me see your Right Hand.”

Du Wei hummed in affirmation and extended his Evil Spirit Transformed Right Hand.

For a moment,

Bishop Slivka and the others gathered around, some to observe and some with the intent of restraining Du Wei.

Hunters, after all, are a desperate group.

They couldn’t be sure that Du Wei wouldn’t do something crazy.

After a close inspection of Du Wei’s right hand, Bishop Jon said with a grave expression, “Can you withdraw from the Evil Spirit Transformation?”

"Of course, I can.”

Du Wei, slightly nervous, clenched his right hand and tested it several times before he finally withdrew from the Evil Spirit Transformation, his face turning very pale and his breathing growing much more rapid.

He was very good at disguising…

But Jon let out a sigh of relief, able to withdraw from the Evil Spirit Transformation meant that the situation was still stable.

But suddenly,

His face changed, and he quickly said, “Wait, haven’t you experienced the pain of the Evil Spirit Transformation?”

Entering Evil Spirit Transformation, every Exorcist would undergo the most painful and tormenting ordeal, a corrosion of the will, where failing to endure meant death.

After his memories synchronized with those of the Evil Spirit Du Wei, he naturally knew what this so-called pain was all about.

This was where he differed from normal hunters.

Not having experienced the pain of Evil Spirit Transformation, he became a hunter directly, skipping a stage, and aside from the Evil Spirit Transformation, he lacked the ability to kill an Evil Spirit.

Therefore,

Du Wei shook his head and said, “I didn’t feel any pain.”

Bishop Slivka at his side frowned slightly, and said calmly, “Mr. Du Wei, I think I understand your situation. Would you please come with us to the vehicle? Bishop Jon and I might have to assess you later, but there won’t be any issues.”

Some things were not convenient to discuss in front of other Exorcists.

A glint of inexplicable meaning passed through Du Wei’s eyes, and he nodded with a smile, “Alright.”

A few minutes later,

Bishop Slivka and Jon had taken Du Wei to the vehicle.

His original Cayenne had been burned and was no longer drivable.

Inside the vehicle,

Du Wei sat in the rear left seat next to the window, while Jon sat to the right of him, opening a briefcase.

"Mr. Du Wei, you may enter into the Evil Spirit Transformation. Please make sure to stay calm and don’t get nervous, which should not be difficult for you.”

"I understand.”

Bishop Jon took out a brand new piece of paper from the briefcase and placed it over Du Wei’s right hand.

The terrifying aura immediately filled the vehicle interior, causing Jon to feel chilled to the bone and his face to grow very pale.

Meanwhile, Bishop Slivka at the driver’s seat took out a booklet and began recording.

"Mr. Du Wei, how are you feeling now?”

"I don’t feel anything, as when I enter into Evil Spirit Transformation, this hand loses all sensation.”

"Forgive my frankness, Mr. Du Wei, but it seems your right hand is not powerful enough to combat a formidable entity on the verge of becoming a Demon Spirit; it appears to have a serious defect…”

"I don’t know what’s going on, my right hand wasn’t like this before; it used to be much more terrifying than it is now…”

Du Wei looked puzzled and confused, as anxious sweat beaded on his forehead.

Jon removed the piece of paper, on which the outline of the entire right hand had emerged, faintly darkened…

He frowned and said, “There’s a serious problem with your Evil Spirit Transformation, and it seems you’ve lost the abilities you should have. This is very unfair to you.”

Du Wei opened his mouth and through gritted teeth asked, “Am I still considered a hunter then? And what will the Church’s stance be?”

Jon shook his head and said, “You count as a hunter, because your Evil Spirit Transformation is very deep which might be why you killed Mary Shaw, and even a baptism can’t turn you back to normal.”

"As for the Church, Bishop Slivka and I will take you there, but first, we have to return to Esselgreen to deal with some things.”
