In the church.
Du Wei looked at Father Tony, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
He remained silent.
Father Tony was stunned. “Mr. Du Wei, could it be that I’m right? Are there really Evil Spirits at work?”
Du Wei said with a complex tone, “It’s very likely…”
He was somewhat reluctant to discuss this topic with Father Tony.
Because the person currently afflicted with the curse was him, and speaking out could potentially plunge the church into panic.
The main thing was.
Those people praying had all had nightmares, and the manifestations were almost identical to his own.
Logically, Du Wei hadn’t spread the nature of the curse.And no one had come into contact with the ring or other mediums.
No matter how he looked at it, something was off.
Du Wei maintained his composure and said to Father Tony, “Did those people all have the nightmares last night?”
Father Tony thought for a moment and said, “Mostly, yes, but a few people said they had the same nightmares last week, then suddenly for a few days, these strange nightmares disappeared, so they didn’t pay much attention.”
“It was last night that the nightmares caught up with them again.”
After speaking, Father Tony sounded troubled as he realized a problem.
“Mr. Du Wei, if it really is an Evil Spirit, it seems your vacation is going to be disrupted again.”
“It seems so…”
Du Wei rubbed his throbbing forehead, feeling utterly miserable.
Those people had nightmares last week, then there was a break, and last night they started having nightmares again.
This coincided almost exactly with the frequency of his own nightmares.
And the manifestations were exactly the same.
Could it be that whenever the curse erupted and he began having those indescribable nightmares, others were influenced by him and experienced the same ordeal?
With this thought, a terrible idea suddenly surfaced in Du Wei’s mind.
Could it be that he had become a kind of Evil Spirit…
Unconsciously causing others to have nightmares with him, which was no different from how an Evil Spirit spread.
However, this was due to the curse, and the core issue was still the curse itself.
And now the nightmares were out of control.
Du Wei had lost all ability to control whether he dreamt, and psychological suggestion had become ineffective.
He didn’t even know what was happening in the dreams.
The information he could gather was pitifully scarce.
Father Tony stood by, seeing Du Wei with a furrowed brow, seemingly worried about something, and kindly said, “According to procedures, if Evil Spirits appear in New York, you indeed need to address it, but if you want to rest, we can ask the church for help, don’t be too anxious.”
Du Wei shook his head and sighed, “No need, I’ll figure out a way to resolve this myself, and there’s no one more suitable than me anyway.”
He had initially wanted to discuss the curse with the church, but now he had to abandon that idea.
He was like a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.
If the curse suddenly erupted and the nun appeared again, it could lead to disaster.
After all, Du Wei suspected his dreams were being devoured by the curse, and now he didn’t know how many others had gone through the same experience as him.
Even if he was the source, the vanished dreams of others were also worth considering.
The nun might be devouring his dreams as well as the dreams of others.
Once the nun jumps out of the dream world and returns to reality, she could be terrifying to an appalling extent,
even more terrifying than Mary Shaw.
Dreams are intangible; they are the subconscious as well as the collective consciousness.
A nun nurtured by the dreams of countless people is at the very least of an Evil Spirit level, or even a Demon Spirit…
“I need to find a way to contact the nun in the dream to see how much longer it will be before it emerges from the dream world.”
After gathering his thoughts, Du Wei made up his mind.
Father Tony beside him failed to see the concern and caution in his heart, instead, he said helplessly, “You dealing with it is indeed appropriate, but it will be tiring for you.”
“Honestly, I’m worried that your body won’t be able to withstand such frequent and intense contacts with the Evil Spirit.”
With a forced smile, Du Wei said, “Rest assured, I’m sure nothing will happen to me, and I still have to find this Evil Spirit to formulate a further solution.”
Father Tony nodded as if suddenly realizing, “You have a point. Oh, are you here at the church today to report to the diocese?”
With an affirmative sound, Du Wei replied, “Yes, I am.”
Father Tony said earnestly, “The church sent over a piece of paper that can test the level of your Evil Spirit Transformation, which also helps you monitor your mental state at any time.”
Saying this, he led Du Wei into the church’s reception room.
…
A few minutes later.
Du Wei slowly closed a piece of white paper and handed it to Father Tony.
On the folded sheet, there was the silhouette of a right hand with a faint black hue. On the back of the hand were three subtle slashes.
Father Tony collected the white paper and said gravely, “Mr. Du Wei, remember this mark of Otherness. If the color deepens next time, it means your Evil Spirit Transformation has become more severe.”
Du Wei responded, “I’m aware of that.”
Last time in Yard City, Bishop Jon and Bishop Slivka had performed a test on him, and the Otherness back then was much lighter than it is now.
This showed that his recent encounters with Evil Spirits were still happening at an alarmingly frequent rate.
After all, apart from his lighter, nearly all items on Du Wei had Evil Spirits residing within them.
Carrying six Evil Spirits with him, even the strongest hunter in church history wouldn’t likely do such a thing.
At that moment.
Suddenly…
The door to the reception room was flung open.
Tom walked in with a smug expression.
Immediately, Du Wei and Father Tony turned their heads.
The scene felt oddly familiar…
“Hey, brothers, I’ve got great news—I’ve been promoted!!”
As soon as he entered, Tom couldn’t help but blurt out. He approached Du Wei, his tone inflated, “I said before that we should form a team—you handle the Evil Spirits, and I take care of the aftermath. Now you’re the head of Evil Spirit incidents in New York, and I’m the head of the New York police. What do you say, want to consider it?”
Du Wei looked at him expressionlessly, “Even without forming a team, you’ll still have to handle the aftermath.”
Tom choked at the retort, “But I think forming a team would be cool.”
With a resigned tone, Du Wei said, “You might want to consider Father Tony.”
Father Tony waved his hands hastily, “Aside from the church, I go nowhere else.”
Seeing that neither was interested, Tom had to give up the idea and shrugged, “Alright. But honestly, my promotion is largely thanks to Du Wei. How about we go celebrate? My treat. We can party till this time tomorrow.”
“With the power I have now, I guarantee no one will be able to disturb us.”
