Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 342: 339, Arrange (3rd Update)

Ding…

Soft music began to play.

Du Wei sat on the chair, his slender, clean hands resting on the piano keys, clumsily playing the lullaby composed by Ryan Hamel.

The shadowy figure held a dagger and stood right behind Du Wei, like the most loyal guard, as if the Evil Spirit that had wanted to act against Du Wei was not it.

In the end, Freddy did not lay a hand on Du Wei and slowly disappeared from sight.

Its existence was very special; it was not an Evil Spirit, but it could not be considered human either.

It existed somewhere between the two.

Its ability to kill people in their dreams was also related to this state, if it were still alive, it would be a special kind of hunter.

It was somewhat similar to the Evil Spirit Du Wei, yet completely different.@@novelbin@@

The Evil Spirit Du Wei was unique, it could be seen as another side of Du Wei, or as Du Wei himself.

Du Wei’s personality, intelligence, logic, memory, combined with the essence of the Evil Spirit, formed the absolutely unique Evil Spirit Du Wei.

Freddy and the Evil Spirit Du Wei were not the same kind of entity.

In other words,

If the person Freddy pulled in was the Evil Spirit Du Wei, then its fate would likely be extremely miserable.

The situation of being pulled into a dream would be completely impossible.

It was very likely that the Evil Spirit Du Wei would pull Freddy into reality and effortlessly crush it, like pinching a chick to death.

To put it bluntly…

Freddy didn’t have a killing mechanism; it only had the ability to enter dreams to kill.

“But this is a bit different from mine,”

As Du Wei played the lullaby, his mind was divided, silently contemplating in his mind.

Now, he had discovered the special characteristic of this piano; as long as he played the lullaby, he could put Freddy into a deep sleep.

The piano and Freddy were entangled, suppressing Freddy.

When the piano was brought into reality, Freddy would break free from its suppression and flee.

The reason Du Wei came to Poland to get this piano was purely because he wanted to create a dream for the nun to enter, and then destroy the piano.

That way, the nun would be trapped to death in the dream, never to escape.

Because by then, the dream would continue indefinitely, and without an exit.

This was Plan B for dealing with the nun.

The plan was indeed good, but the reality now in front of him was not going according to his plan.

The piano possessed the ability to put the Evil Spirit into eternal slumber, while Freddy itself was actually related to the dream.

Freddy could enter other people’s dreams but could not create one.

“But this piano… why did the Antique Clock react so strongly to it?”

“Moreover, at the end, I still saw a vision of the future.”

“What exactly does it want to do?”

Du Wei reflected in his heart: “From the beginning to now, every time I have seen a vision of the future involving death, it has either been extremely dangerous or involved some special entity.”

“From the mask to the nun, and now to this piano, these things seem to be connected.”

“Putting myself in its shoes, if I imagine it as a person, then it definitely has its own agenda.”

“First of all, it is constantly regaining strength, so it can’t be like Annabelle, wanting to use me to nourish itself, the only certainty is the curse…”

“But this vision of death is related to Massas City, and the person playing the piano isn’t me, it’s the Evil Spirit Du Wei.”

Uncommonly, Du Wei felt a sense of powerlessness.

The information he had was too chaotic and cluttered; he simply couldn’t understand what the Antique Clock really wanted to do.

Unless he could find a powerful entity related to the information and make a trade, knowing the secrets of the Antique Clock would be impossible.

The Joker Card with the wish-granting ability possessed such power, but it couldn’t possibly contend with the Antique Clock.

At the very least… this entity related to the information had to be of the level of a Demon Spirit, a terrifying thing…

As he thought this,

Du Wei had just finished playing a lullaby, successfully marking the piano.

In an instant.

He felt that as long as he activated his Marking Ability, the piano could appear by his side anytime, anywhere.

Of course…

Besides the piano, there were also the public bus, Annabelle, the shadow, and Freddy, who had been marked by him in a comical way.

Wait a minute…

Du Wei suddenly raised an eyebrow, “It seems I’ve thought of a use for the piano and Freddy…”

He smiled and reached out to tap the piano.

At this moment, Freddy was being suppressed by the piano. In a certain sense, it was asleep inside the piano.

But when Du Wei used the Marking Ability, Freddy would appear again.

Although it posed no threat to Du Wei, it could kill in dreams…

“The piano and Freddy could be used in two ways.”

“If I dream within my own dream, then I will have two dreams. If it’s in the first layer of the dream, I can use the piano to lock it in my dream forever.”

This ‘it’ referred to the nun.

“And Freddy… I could let it kill me in the dream. That way, if I cease to exist, naturally the dream will cease too, and that’s a solution as well.”

The nun in Du Wei’s dreams was actually the curse.

If he died, then it would all be over.

“But both of these solutions have a problem, so I need a stand-in…”

Du Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at the shadow behind him.

The shadow trembled inexplicably for a moment, then vanished into the shadows and retreated into the mask.

Du Wei sneered, stood up from the chair, and bent down to pick up the mask along with the Black Umbrella, whose fabric had been perforated.

Just now, they had been thinking of making a move while he was in a compromised state.

That score would have to be settled when the opportunity arose.

“Don’t worry, I will make things clear to you.”

“And the Evil Spirit version of me, it’s already been locked inside the mirror. But according to the future visions, it should come out.”

“I also need to find a way to deal with it for good…”

The gap between Du Wei and the Evil Spirit was too great. If the Evil Spirit Du Wei came out of the mirror, it would certainly attack him directly.

By then, the body would belong to the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

He did not have much ability to resist.

Unless, an identity switch occurred between the two, with Du Wei becoming the Evil Spirit and the Evil Spirit becoming him.

Then, as the Evil Spirit, Du Wei could take back the body and kill “himself”.

“It’s not very feasible. I’ll think about it more once I get out,” he said.

At that point, Du Wei glanced at the surrounding scenery, but his brows furrowed.

It was quite awkward…

This was indeed Elm Street, but it didn’t exist in reality.

He had been pulled into this dream by Freddy, and the only way to leave was to use the Joker Card. There was no way to return by the original path.

The Marking Ability could also do it since the public bus disregarded space and distance.

But doing so would waste the efforts he’d accumulated so far, and the risk was great.

The loss outweighed the gain…

However…

Just as Du Wei was wavering over whether or not to waste one of the Joker Card’s remaining two wishes, he suddenly heard a series of prayers and the sound of a lullaby being played on a trumpet…

The mist around him gradually gathered.

For a moment, Du Wei spoke in a very peculiar tone, “Is someone trying to bring Elm Street back to reality? Is it someone from the Veda Sect?”

As he spoke, he casually put on the mask.

The shadow possessed him directly…
