Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

Chapter 296: I ran into an old acquaintance.

After Du Wei made his wish.

He clearly noticed a sinister evil thought emerging from the Joker Card, slowly enveloping him, and eventually merging into the mask.

Making a wish required a price to be paid.

But now, that price needed to be borne by the shadow…

As the cheater, Du Wei had obtained the right to use the painting.

Without any reason, he just knew how to use the painting, and the issue of how to use the painting, which Hoddy had mentioned before being shot to death by him, was no trouble at all for him.

The wish-granting Joker Card possessed a power that was absolutely capricious.

It made no sense.

Du Wei looked at the Evil Spirits under the lectern, his gaze moving over their bodies, his eyes colder than before.

This was no longer a matter of reason or calm, but the hidden danger of Evil Spirit Transformation had intensified once again.

Immediately afterward.

Du Wei stepped down from the lectern, his right hand, transformed by the Evil Spirit, slowly reaching towards the locked door in the painting.

The next second, something that defied reality occurred.

As his right hand reached into it, the surface of the entire painting began to ripple.

The yellowed paper displayed an effect like that of lake water…

All the Evil Spirits looked at Du Wei as if they were students being inspected by the principal, with solemn expressions.

Boom…

Above the sky, a flash of lightning streaked across.

It was deep into the night by now, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.

Each Evil Spirit took a step forward, the surfaces of hundreds of Black Umbrellas merging into one, covering all the light.

The terrifying presence surged violently, chilling to the core.

But that was all they could do.

One of Du Wei’s hands had already pushed open the door in the painting.

He disregarded all the Evil Spirits and walked forward.

The gazes of those Evil Spirits remained on his original location, never moving, completely ignoring Du Wei’s actions.

To wear the mask was to disguise oneself as an Evil Spirit.

On this basis, Du Wei had used the painting’s ability, and the Evil Spirit generated by the door was naturally deceived by this painting.

“Now, I’m heading to the school entrance to catch a ride…”

His heart was more serene than ever before, all his thoughts converged, his mind exceptionally clear.

Even the malicious intent of the shadow in his mind couldn’t affect him.

In fact, he had originally planned to make a wish with the Joker Card to ensure his own safety, but that might have brought him to the verge of an Evil Spirit appearance after its use.

It was like a disposable item.

Now by utilizing the painting, he might be able to use the wish-granting power once more in the future.

Just that he didn’t know whether the shadow could withstand the assimilation by the Evil Spirit next time.

After sorting out these thoughts, Du Wei walked briskly towards the school entrance without any hesitation.

The Evil Spirits remained motionless…

But just as he reached the school entrance,

He suddenly saw the silhouette of a person holding a black umbrella, standing outside in the rain, letting the water wash over them…

It was a black man, about the same height as Du Wei, but much more muscular.

Seeing this,

Du Wei frowned slightly, he remembered this man, he was the male half of the black couple from the first time he took the bus…

And now, this black man was holding a Black Umbrella, exuding an inexplicable chill, seemingly having become an Evil Spirit.

Du Wei’s eyes grew colder, casually drawing out the Flintlock Gun to stay alert while walking towards the door to the left.

All he wanted now was to leave the school, if he could avoid confrontation, he would.

But just as Du Wei reached the doorway,

suddenly, the black man holding the black umbrella, without any warning, blocked the side door.

Throughout this process, he remained with his back to Du Wei.

But the malice was becoming increasingly thick and heavy.

Du Wei stopped, staring at the other with an expressionless face.

Without a doubt,

It was like a school security guard, not wanting to let him leave through the school gates.

But it wasn’t strong…

At least, for Du Wei now, it posed no threat.

“I hate trouble…”

As he spoke, Du Wei directly pulled the trigger, and with a bang…

Accompanied by sparse wisps of smoke, the black Evil Spirit’s head was directly blasted into a pulpy mess.

But it didn’t fall down, still standing with its back to Du Wei, blocking the doorway.

“If you weren’t at the school gate, I might really hesitate to act, but unfortunately for you, you’re isolated…”

Du Wei simply put away the flintlock gun and seriously sized up the black Evil Spirit.

Evil Spirits in general, always have a medium.

Find the medium, understand the Evil Spirit’s killing rules, and even ordinary people could survive an encounter with an Evil Spirit.

“It’s the umbrella…”

Having dealt with Evil Spirits for too long, Du Wei observed for a moment and immediately made an accurate judgment.

He took a step forward, and his Evil Spirit Transformed right hand seized the black rain umbrella from the black Evil Spirit.

But the other’s hand twisted at an inhuman angle, reaching behind to grab Du Wei.

Crack…

Bright red flames leapt out, like igniting petrol, burning fiercely on the body of the black Evil Spirit.

Du Wei snatched the black umbrella, shielding himself with it, closed the lid of his lighter with his left hand, and strode out of the school gate.

Behind him,

the body of the black Evil Spirit lay on the ground, continuing to burn…

Du Wei, holding the umbrella, walked towards the platform at the school entrance, examining the new black umbrella as he went.

“So the black umbrella is your true form, that body is merely a vessel.”

Under Spirit Vision,

He could distinctly feel that when the body started burning, something returned to the black umbrella.

Holding the umbrella, there was a faint chill, as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

Du Wei couldn’t help but ponder in his heart, dispatching the obstructive Evil Spirit with a flick of his hand; it had no effect on him, but this black umbrella had given him a new idea.

In the beginning, the ability to survive an Evil Spirit’s clutches came from taking advantage of the Evil Spirits targeting the same victim and creating opposition.

This is what’s called balance.

This strategy was essentially walking a tightrope; a slight misstep could mean no place for burial.

Therefore, after becoming an Exorcist, as the arsenal against Evil Spirits grew, Du Wei didn’t consider the relatively rigid balance much.

He always preferred clean and direct methods.

However, now that his Evil Spirit Transformation Ability had emerged, just making contact with an Evil Spirit would create a Mark; once used, it could summon an Evil Spirit to appear before him, disregarding space, to launch an attack.

Hmm… It would be convenient for suicide.

But if he were marked by an extremely terrifying Evil Spirit, suddenly using a Mark to summon another could create a balancing effect.

Or, suppose he encountered a weird place like Massas City; using a Mark to pull in an Evil Spirit for recon might also be a feasible strategy…

With this thought, Du Wei turned his head and looked back at the school in the pouring rain.

There were over a hundred Evil Spirits in this school…

He had a bold idea…
