Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 402: 400, Good brother, save me (3rd update)

“Mr. Du Wei, the church of the Veda Sect will surely conduct a thorough investigation. The cult has been incredibly active lately, and if possible, the church might even launch a covert war,”

“Of course, it’s just a possibility. You just need to know this yourself; don’t spread the word.”

“And… um, how has Father Tony been doing lately? I’m somewhat embarrassed to ask him directly…”

Upon hearing this,

Du Wei turned his head to glance at Father Tony, who looked aloof and yawned, then cleared his throat and said, “He’s doing very well, and his health is fine. You don’t need to worry too much.”

“Good, then let’s leave it at that.”

…

After hanging up the phone,

Du Wei looked at Father Tony and Tom helplessly.

He didn’t know what to say.

Instead, Tom opened his mouth as if he wanted to complain to Du Wei but stopped himself.

In front of Father Tony, one of the Red Light District War God Combo, Tom couldn’t bring himself to say it; it would be too embarrassing.

Du Wei keenly noticed this.

He gave Tom a curious look but didn’t ask further.

After all, Tom would naturally speak up when they were leaving.

Father Tony, however, cheerfully said to him, “Mr. Du Wei, I heard from Tom that you weren’t going to be in New York for a while. I didn’t expect you to come back so suddenly.”

Du Wei nodded, “I had planned it that way, but there was a last-minute change in plans, so I came back earlier.”

If not for the anomaly with the bus, and with Du Wei having marked those Evil Spirit Drivers and the bus, he would probably still be out there, causing trouble for evil spirits around the world.

Although the number wasn’t large,

There were twelve Evil Spirit Drivers, plus the bus and the dark figure.

But the quality was unexpectedly high.

And it even included a Horror House.

He believed that it would definitely give the Veda Sect and the Evil Spirit Du Wei a big surprise by then.

At that moment, Father Tony spoke again, “How long do you plan to stay in New York this time? I’ve got quite familiar with the Red Light District over the past few days, and since I’ve brought you into the church, my income has substantially increased.”

“Money is not an issue.”

“How about it, my treat, will you come?”

At this point, Father Tony gave Du Wei a knowing smile that all men understood.

This…

Du Wei sighed helplessly, “No need, you go with Tom. I’m really tired now, and I just want to go home and rest.”

Heaven knows, he hadn’t slept all night, his nerves had been on edge.

Now he just wanted to go back to his psychological counseling clinic to rest.

He didn’t even want to go to Alex’s place, especially since he had promised his girlfriend that he was currently studying architectural design at the church’s school.

How could he have time to come back to New York?

He had to settle the issue of Evil Spirit Du Wei first.

Father Tony saw that Du Wei was indeed very tired and simply shrugged, “Alright, if you insist. To be honest, Mr. Du Wei, without you, the Red Light District War God Combo really lacks a lot of fun.”

“Tom might have been with me in the Red Light District these past days, but he only drinks and doesn’t do anything else—not fun at all.”

Tom gritted his teeth, glaring viciously at Father Tony.

He wanted to curse!

But he didn’t want Father Tony to discover his problem.

After all, he really couldn’t bring himself to talk about it.

At this moment, Father Tony turned to Tom and said, “Hey Tom, let’s accompany Mr. Du Wei back and then continue to have fun in the Red Light District.”

Honestly, Father Tony had been very generous these past few days.

If it weren’t for Tom’s current condition, he might have found Father Tony’s companionship to be genuinely considerate.

However…

Tom only felt like he was suffering.

It was too torturous.

So, Tom said coldly, “I don’t plan on going to the Red Light District these two days, go by yourself.”

Father Tony’s eyes widened, “Why? You’ve been acting very strange these past few days, did something upset you?”

Not mentioning it would have been fine.

But once said, Tom felt even more infuriated.

He was about to get better, but Father Tony’s comment had set him off again!

If the relationship wasn’t what it was, he might have had the urge to pull out a gun and kill someone.

Tom looked at Father Tony and said with a sneer, “Why? Because I’ve been practicing yoga recently, aiming to cultivate my mind and character, is that a problem?”

Father Tony had no choice but to say helplessly, “It’s not fun without you. Never mind, I’ll just rest for a couple of days. Remember to call me next time you go.”

Tom mumbled a vague acknowledgment and left the church with Du Wei.

Father Tony then saw the two off.

During this process, Du Wei was closely observing both of their expressions.

The more he observed, the stranger the look in Tom’s eyes became.

There was something wrong with his good friend…

…

Leaving the church.

Tom sneakily peeked around, and after seeing Father Tony head back and confirming no one was around,

he hurriedly said to Du Wei, “Good buddy, I’m in trouble, you have to help me.”

Du Wei narrowed his eyes and asked, “What trouble? Are you being targeted by the Evil Spirit again?”

He hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Tom.

Tom said in a pained tone, “It’s worse than that, fuck! You might not believe it, but buddy, I’m screwed…”

As he spoke,

tears glittered in Tom’s eyes as he began to pour his heart out to Du Wei, “Buddy, life is too hard for me!”

“I’ve lost the joy of being a man, now just thinking about the Red Light District makes me miserable.”

“I want the people from the Veda Sect to pay, so this morning I asked my superiors if I could go to the women’s prison because that’s where the Cultists are locked up.”

“But when I got there, I discovered that, unbelievably… I feel like throwing up just at the sight of a woman…”

Hearing this,

Du Wei’s eyelids twitched, and he asked instinctively, “Weren’t you getting better before? How did it turn into this?”

Tom cried, “Because I felt like I was OK again, Father Tony invited me to the Red Light District, and I didn’t refuse. But when I got there, he asked me how the experience with the call girls was?”

“Just like that, my mindset collapsed.”

“The world must have malicious intentions towards me.”

As he spoke, Tom wiped away his tears and looked intently at Du Wei, saying, “Buddy, save me.”

For him, Du Wei was his last hope.

If this didn’t work, Tom felt he might as well be dead.

What was the point of living?

Du Wei sighed.

He rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead and said calmly, “Your problem is serious, but I do have a way. The question is whether you can accept it or not.”

Tom’s eyes brightened, and his heart started racing, “I have to accept, buddy, you’re my savior…”

Du Wei said helplessly, “I need to give you a psychological suggestion to dilute all those… um, unpleasant experiences, but it’s temporary. I’m not sure how long it will last.”

It sounded a bit like charging a battery.

But Tom was already desperate, and he asserted, “Worst case, I’ll just come to you every once in a while. Don’t worry, once I’m better, the doors of New York’s Red Light District will be wide open for you.”

Du Wei shook his head, “You should go yourself.”

After speaking, he looked at Tom and said in a very soft voice, “Now, look into my eyes…”
