Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 420: 416, The Disappearing Du Wei

In the city’s reflection.

Du Wei’s body had already collapsed to the ground.

He seemed to have lost consciousness.

In its stead was another will, identical to his, yet somehow different.

The bus was speeding towards him.

It looked as if it intended to roll right over him.

Meanwhile, the Horror House above was plummeting rapidly.

These two Strangenesses had been lying in wait all along, hibernating, or one might even say feigning death.

But when the Evil Spirit Du Wei moved against Du Wei.

Their purpose was revealed.

It wasn’t to protect Du Wei or for any other reason.

It was purely because they seemed to have set their sights on the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

It appeared that, to them,

capturing the Evil Spirit Du Wei to become part of them was much more enticing than simply struggling for control over the school.

The reason they acted now,

was simply to kick him while he was down.

And it wasn’t just the bus and the Horror House; all the Evil Spirits at the school gates were also moving towards the unconscious Du Wei on the ground.

They marched in formation, holding umbrellas.

The scene was bizarre beyond measure.

The places the Evil Spirit Du Wei had trodden were all once covered in shadows, but now those shadows were being suppressed.

Animating like living things, they steadily retracted towards Du Wei as the center.

The bus had already reached in front of Du Wei, and the silhouette of the Horror House above was distinctly visible, a pitch-black hole looming over Du Wei.

The darkness descended, enveloping Du Wei like a shadow before the bus had a chance to reach him.

The student Evil Spirits hesitated for a moment, then all ceased their steps.

This was no longer a fight they could take part in.

Yet at this moment,

the unconscious Du Wei suddenly opened his eyes.

Those orbs were filled with a cold, dark depth, immediately fixing on the Horror House above without shifting.

Boom…

The Horror House could not descend further.

“Why is this happening?”

The voice was flat but carried an indescribable confusion and a hint of anger.

The Evil Spirit Du Wei stood up, seemingly still unaccustomed to the body, appearing somewhat rigid.

“There’s something wrong with this body.”

“Where are you?”

The Evil Spirit Du Wei had taken the body back far too easily; it felt no resistance at all and as soon as it returned to the body, the consciousness that had been Du Wei’s vanished.

Like an empty shell.

And it could sense that the body was indeed different from what it remembered, as if it had lost something.

It was not complete.

The confrontation was not over yet.

But the Evil Spirit Du Wei had already gained the body, even though it was dissatisfied, for what was lost could not be restored.

And awkwardly,

the bus and the Horror House had already begun their attack.

Having taken the body, it did not want to leave, yet this also made it vulnerable.

That in turn limited the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

The Horror House overhead was radiating a chilling coldness.

The Evil Spirit Du Wei tilted its head and reached out with its left hand. A sharp, gleaming scalpel appeared in its grasp.

The blade carried an evil essence.

This was forcibly taken from Hannibal’s possession.

If it cut an Evil Spirit, that spirit could not heal.

Put simply, it was better suited for dismembering than a Dagger.

Having not found Du Wei’s consciousness, there was no synchronicity with memories.

The Evil Spirit Du Wei couldn’t even use the items that should have been available.

It was not satisfied.

But it deemed what it had sufficient.

Then, the Evil Spirit Du Wei, holding the scalpel, slashed at the Horror House overhead.

Just once.

The darkness that shrouded it was split open and vanished into nothingness.

But the doors of the bus…suddenly opened.

Evil Spirit Du Wei narrowed his eyes.

Twelve Evil Spirit Drivers walked down one after the other.

Each Evil Spirit Driver exuded an aura of strangeness.

This aura might not be discernible to Du Wei, but Evil Spirit Du Wei could sense it.

“They’re all hunters…”

These twelve Evil Spirit Drivers had once been hunters, dying on the bus at different times, but after their deaths, they all became part of the bus.

Now, under the control of the bus, they were about to make their move against Evil Spirit Du Wei.

Generally speaking,

hunters that undergo Evil Spirit Transformation after death are more terrifying than ordinary evil spirits.

Because they each had their own abilities while alive.

Plus, it’s hard to tell how long they’ve been on the bus, making it difficult for hunters to contend with them.

Otherwise, Du Wei wouldn’t have had to use a Coin to trap the Evil Spirit Driver before.

He could have simply taken action directly.

However,

the opponent of these Evil Spirit Drivers had now changed to Evil Spirit Du Wei…

And an enhanced version at that…

Evil Spirit Du Wei calmly watched them, as his Right Hand made a grasping motion in the air.

The Evil Spirit Driver nearest to him instantly appeared before him, his neck seized in a grip.

“You want to turn me into a driver too?”

“This is too interesting,” he declared with a cold laugh, and the resistance in his hand grew intense.

But he ignored it, instead squeezing even harder.

The Evil Spirit Driver in his grasp opened his mouth.

Some kind of invisible force then acted upon Evil Spirit Du Wei.

He felt the scenery before his eyes blur.

The Evil Spirit Driver he was holding seemed to change in appearance.

That was a middle-aged man…

He looked somewhat similar to the shape of Evil Spirit Du Wei, but with a very gentle demeanor, clearly a well-educated individual.

Evil Spirit Du Wei looked at the man, and even knowing it was false, his expression shifted slightly…

Indescribably complex.

Personality, memory, thought process were all identical.

He was the original Du Wei…

Evil Spirit Du Wei took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his eyes flickered with the most ferocious and terrifying intent to kill.

The man held in his grasp distorted, reverting to the original Evil Spirit Driver.

Now, he was trembling.

“Heh heh…”

Evil Spirit Du Wei bit his teeth as if finding it amusing, his laughter growing louder.

The last one who dared to pull such a stunt in front of him was Pennywise.

As for Pennywise’s fate, it could be said he was better off dead.

But now, an Evil Spirit Driver actually dared to impersonate his father.

Whether as Evil Spirit Du Wei or Du Wei, neither could tolerate this.

This was more than crossing a line,

it was like pouring sulfuric acid into an open wound.

Bang…

Evil Spirit Du Wei’s Right Hand clenched tightly, and the Evil Spirit Driver was crushed to death in his grasp.

With a turn of his head.

The remaining Evil Spirit Drivers had already appeared in front of Evil Spirit Du Wei, with Andrew Dowqui leading them.

The pressure was also coming from the Horror House above.

Evil Spirit Du Wei nonchalantly flicked the surgical Dagger towards the Horror House, piercing it directly.

In the darkness, something was agitated.

Surges of darkness enveloped the top of Evil Spirit Du Wei’s head.

But he disregarded it and plunged his hands, directly into Andrew Dowqui’s head.

This existence, that only resided in his past memories, was torn to shreds.
