Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

“As long as you can help us retrieve the lost mask, you will become the thirteenth member of the Vanity Sect, and we will also recognize the existence of your original two masks,”

“In other words, we’re offering you additional powers to select personnel.”

“The person who possesses those two masks will be under the protection of the Vanity Sect.”

“Of course, their status will not surpass yours.”

“Think it over, Mr. Du Wei. Only we can help you thoroughly eliminate the threat of Evil Spirit Transformation, and allow you to retain your hunter abilities.”

…

Crocker Mercer left.

And there.

Du Wei stood in place, pondering for a moment, then turned and left the expanse of flowers.

If before he might have considered joining the Vanity Sect, he now completely extinguished that thought.

Rationally speaking, setting aside the credibility in the other party’s words and setting aside his personal distaste for the way the Vanity Sect conducts itself, joining the Sect would indeed be a good choice.

Mysterious and powerful, and also very ancient, it seemed to know many secrets, and even the Church held this organization of just thirteen members in great trepidation.

As long as he could join the Vanity Sect, all problems would be easily solved.

Only.

Their demands clearly treated him like a tool.

Demon Spirits, Du Wei had not yet truly encountered such things, and Mary Shaw could be considered an Evil Spirit that had not successfully transformed.

It was missing something.

The lost mask had been taken by a Demon Spirit; to ask Du Wei to take a mask from a Demon Spirit was practically sending him to his death.

The most important thing was, the conditions offered by the Vanity Church weren’t actually that enticing.

Solving the issue of Evil Spirit Transformation wasn’t really a problem for Du Wei at the moment.

He now had the Ebony Cross Necklace; even when on the brink of Evil Spirit Transformation, he would still have several decades at least.

Joining the Vanity Church was very superfluous, with disadvantages outweighing the benefits.

“Moreover, I only have one mask now,”

As Du Wei spoke, he sorted through his thoughts and turned to leave.

…

It was just after 4 p.m.

Du Wei drove back to New York, receiving texts from Officer Tom, Father Tony, and his girlfriend Alex along the way.

The contents of the texts from Tom and Father Tony were basically asking him how things were going and if he was injured.

Alex, oblivious, simply urged him to come back soon.

Due to the distance,

The first place Du Wei arrived at was the church; he planned to explain the situation to Tom and Father Tony before returning to see his girlfriend. It wouldn’t likely take much time anyway.

At the church in North Brook District.

Before he could get out of the car,

Tom and Father Tony were already at the entrance to greet him.

“Hey, my good brother, New York welcomes you back,”

Tom was the first to greet Du Wei warmly.

Upon hearing this,

Du Wei opened the car door and nodded slightly; beside him, Father Tony said in a grave voice, “You don’t look well, are you injured?”

He noticed that Du Wei’s complexion was a bit pale, looking as if he had just overcome a serious illness.

Tom also furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Du Wei shook his head, “It’s just a superficial injury, no need for now.”

Father Tony stood to the side, his eyes deeply fixed on Du Wei.

Previously, Officer Tom had told him that Du Wei went to handle a person related to the Evil Spirit, but if that was all, Du Wei would have definitely informed him.

After all, the man in front of him was the youngest Deputy Chief Judge of the church and the person in charge of Evil Spirit incidents in New York.

Moreover, for such an excellent hunter to be so exhausted, the adversary must also certainly not be of simple caliber.

Thus, Father Tony coughed and gave Du Wei a meaningful look.

Some things were not suitable to be said in front of Officer Tom.

Du Wei got the hint but decided to conceal some matters and downplayed the situation, “I will report back to the church later, by the way, has anything unusual occurred here in New York during my absence?”

Father Tony shook his head, “No, all is well.”

Officer Tom also shrugged and said, “Nothing major, but I heard that things have worsened in Yard City, with thousands of people mysteriously disappearing. New York is probably going to dispatch some manpower over there to maintain local order.”

As he spoke, he seemed a bit annoyed, “I guess I’ll have to go too, fuck! I hate the cost of living there.”

Police attendance is generally reimbursed, but additional items are not included.

Du Wei glanced helplessly at him and said after a moment of thought, “There should no longer be any Evil Spirit incidents there, but before you leave, you might want to take some things just in case.”

Tom chuckled, clapped Father Tony on the shoulder, and said to Du Wei, “Don’t worry, I’m sure nothing will happen to me. Besides, if something did happen, it wouldn’t be my turn.”

He had been getting along very well with Father Tony recently. Going on duty in Yard City, would his elderly friend be stingy with him?

As for money?

Sorry, Tom didn’t have any to spare.

Every time they went to the Red Light District, he paid the bill, and if Father Tony dared to ask for money, he would dare to snatch it directly.

Seeing this scene.

Du Wei waved to the two of them, “Let’s leave it at that for now, I’m planning to take some time off to rest, so please don’t disturb me unless it’s something important.”

He really needed some rest, to recuperate.

Yeah … to take a vacation for himself.

…

After quickly concluding his conversation with Officer Tom and Father Tony.

Du Wei drove toward his girlfriend’s home.

As he approached the Furman District.

Du Wei took out his phone and glanced at the back seat filled with flowers.

One of each kind, it seems like he may have picked a little too many…

Thinking it over, he called his girlfriend with a bit of indecision.

“Dear, I have a gift for you, are you free to come out now? I don’t think I can carry it into your house by myself.”

Alex was confused, “Huh? You can’t carry it by yourself? You didn’t prepare something weird, did you, like 999 lipsticks? Don’t tell me you actually bought them!”

Du Wei laughed, “How could I buy something so superficial? The gift I’ve prepared for you will definitely surprise you. In both quantity and quality, it will be much more surprising than lipstick.”

Alex was intrigued, “Park your car in front of my place, I’ll go touch up my makeup right now.”

Du Wei responded, “Okay.”

About ten minutes later.

Du Wei parked the car properly and opened all the doors, including the trunk.

Yes, the trunk was also full of flowers.

“From a psychological standpoint, women are more inclined towards bright things.”

“Flowers can uplift the mood.”

While saying this, Du Wei was calculating the time his girlfriend would take to touch up her makeup. He took out a cigarette and lit it with his Evil Spirit Transformation right hand, as flames shot out from the lighter.

“Women, I think they’re not that hard to understand.”
