Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

The Veda Sect was creating Evil Spirits, a suspicion Du Wei had harbored for some time.

But what he hadn't anticipated was just how cruel the means of creating Evil Spirits could be.

No one is born with a hexagram birthmark; tattoos are tattoos, and birthmarks are birthmarks—they are completely different.

In other words, the Veda Sect had already determined the child's fate while still in the womb.

From the cries at birth to the despair at death.

A mere twenty-odd years, an entire life meticulously arranged, the methods barbarically abhorrent.

As for the Bruce Couple, they were undoubtedly implicated. They chose to disappear amidst the harassment of an Evil Spirit, and when they reappeared, they were unscathed and had a child whose life had been controlled by the Veda Sect.

And this child wasn't even their own biological child; the whole thing seemed like a cold transaction.

Moreover...

Joanna was no exception. Beyond her, there must have been many more living their lives in oblivion who might suddenly die by suicide one day and turn into Evil Spirits.

...

Even the typically indifferent Du Wei was somewhat moved by this—not for the people, but for the situation.

He spoke with a detached tone, "Have you notified the Bruce Couple about this?"

Tom replied seriously, "No, we couldn't get through by phone from the beginning, so I asked the police in Esselgreen to notify the Bruce Couple. However, the news I received today is that the Bruce Couple has gone missing, just like back then."

Father Tony beside them sighed, "If we want to investigate what exactly happened back then, we probably need to take a trip to Esselgreen."

Du Wei responded coldly, "I should say, it's a trip to the haunted house where the Bruce Couple lived. If the birthmark is a Mark, a connection to the Evil Spirit, then the Evil Spirit in the house should now be even more terrifying... "

He paused at this point before continuing, "Of course, that Evil Spirit might have been destroyed by now, or maybe after Joanna died, it started harassing the Bruce Couple again."

"If it's the latter, the Bruce Couple should be dead by now. But there is also a possibility that they have made contact with the Veda Sect again, trying to repeat what happened years ago."

Father Tony's expression turned grim, "This... this is just infuriating. Do they have no humanity at all?"

Du Wei said in a deep voice, "Everyone is different; you can't measure others by your own standards."

Tom said angrily, "That's why I hate the Veda Sect, these damn women. They killed my beloved neighbor and nearly scared me to death. They all deserve to go to hell."

Hearing this.

Du Wei took a deep breath, suppressing some restless emotions and regained his composure.

He looked into Father Tony's eyes and said, "Notify the church now, see what they have to say. This matter is too big; the church must do something."

"Okay, I'll call someone from the church right now."

Realizing the severity of the situation, Father Tony immediately took out his phone and walked towards a separate room.

Seeing this, Tom said with some irritation, "We're all people who have faced Evil Spirits together. Why avoid us?"

Du Wei, taking out a cigarette with an indifferent voice, said, "He's avoiding you, not us."

In the church, Father Tony never avoided him because he was a member of the church.

Tom, on the other hand, was a police officer.

So, Father Tony naturally wanted to avoid this outsider.

Upon hearing Du Wei's words, Tom grew even more displeased. He took out a lighter from his pocket, handed it to Du Wei, and also offered him a cigarette.

While smoking, Tom exhaled rings of smoke and shrugged, "After this is over, I'll invite Father Tony to relax in the Red Light District. I'm sure he won't avoid me after that."

Suddenly.

Tom's eyes widened as he looked at Du Wei, who was lost in thought while smoking, his expression quite peculiar.

Du Wei said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Tom smirked lewdly, "I just suddenly thought, your girlfriend isn't in New York recently, so you are living alone now."

Du Wei nodded in surprise, "Is there a problem with that?"

Tom raised an eyebrow, suggesting like one who's been through it all, "Of course there's a problem. We are all grown men. I'll treat you, and the three of us will go to the Red Light District for a good time, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

He thought it was quite simple; after all, Du Wei, his good brother, had helped him a lot and even saved his life. If he didn't find an opportunity to thank him, it wouldn't be right.

However, Du Wei's expression darkened, "My girlfriend is returning tomorrow, and besides, you can invite Father Tony for that sort of thing, I don't like those places."

Tom asked in confusion, "Why not? That's heaven for men!"

Du Wei replied coolly, "Because my father has never been to such places, so I feel that I shouldn't go either."

Tom spread his hands, "Alright, your father is a good man, and so are you. But honestly, you really should relax a bit. Ever since I've known you, you've always seemed to be very tense. If this continues, you won't be able to take it."

After speaking, Tom took a drag of his cigarette and added pensively, "If you're not planning to go to the Red Light District, then I suggest you have sex with your girlfriend sooner rather than later."

Du Wei's expression turned even uglier. How did Tom know that he and Alex hadn't slept together yet?

The next second.

Tom laughed slyly as if he could read minds, "Because I have plenty of experience, I can tell just by instinct."

At that moment.

Father Tony had just finished his phone call.

"Mr. Du Wei, the church has already started taking action, and according to our analysis, has begun focusing on searching for people born more than twenty years ago with Hexagram birthmarks."

"And Officer Tom, there have been Veda Sect members active here in New York as well. You'll cooperate with us, won't you?"

Tom replied, "Of course, it's my duty."

Du Wei then asked, "There's no need for me to go to Esselgreen?"

Father Tony shook his head, "Someone has already been sent there. It's better for you to stay in New York, especially since the two archbishops are arriving tomorrow. If you leave at this time, it would be too exhausting for you, given that the Evil Spirit events you've recently been dealing with have indeed been quite frequent."

Du Wei nodded slightly, "If that's the case, I'll head back first, as I still have some matters to deal with at home."

He was referring to the Evil Spirit, Du Wei...

It was almost night now.

And after nightfall, the world would quiet down, and no one would disturb him.

Then, he would have a serious talk with the Evil Spirit, Du Wei.
