Self-cultivation of the Exorcist

Being corrupted by evil spirits is a very terrifying thing.

The mind will gradually collapse, the spirit will become muddled, and the whole person will be full of negative energy, from despair to madness, and then to the final stage, death.

The way to delay this erosion is to keep calm and control your emotions from being swayed.

This is also the only way for ordinary people to face evil spirits.

And if you want to get rid of this state, you can only destroy the evil spirits related to it.

Alex's room.

Du Wei's face returned to calm, and the inexplicable pain just now disappeared suddenly after entering the spiritual vision state.

Of course, on the sofa in front of him lay the dead Alex, and the inexplicable black shadow remained the same.

Strands of black and fine silk threads emerged from Alex's body, and gradually merged with the black shadow. This situation reminded him of an animal—leech.

Then, he took out the silver cross dagger from his body and walked in front of Alex.

Shake the cross.

As they approached, some black fine silk threads broke, and then tried to gather together again as if they had life.

During this process, Du Wei kept watching and standing at the black shadow behind the sofa.

he noticed.

The outline of this black shadow is somewhat like a woman, with four limbs, but the head does not have complete facial features, and the eyes are replaced by two hollows. Looking at the past, I can only see a weirdness and horror that cannot be described in words .

Du Wei held the silver cross dagger, slowly pulled it out, and approached the shadow.

But from the beginning to the end, the black shadow didn't make any movement, and it didn't even pay attention to Du Wei. The target was always Alex.

rub……

Pull out the dagger.

call……

Du Wei waved towards the shadow.

In the next second, there was only a feeling of emptiness, and the dagger passed through the shadow without any effect at all.

but……

At this time, the black shadow moved. It raised its head, looked at Du Wei, and met its eyes.

Du Wei instantly felt his scalp tingle, and instead of his eyes, there were vicious and greedy mood swings.

"This thing doesn't seem to be an evil spirit."

This idea came to Du Wei's mind, and he immediately chose to back away, and the sight of the black shadow followed him, as if a certain mechanism had been triggered?

then.

The light in the room dimmed again.

Many places can't be seen clearly at all, only an area around him can be seen, whether it's the door or the window, it's all wrapped in a layer of black mist.

Du Wei took a deep breath, recalling the previous conversation with Alex in his mind.

If he guessed right, the hallucinations Alex saw should be no different from what he saw.

If she insists on distinguishing, what she sees is more serious, and even the concept of space is vague.

In the words of Father Tony:

[Evil spirits have the characteristic of ignoring space]

...

Fortunately, the changes in the room are limited to this.

While staring at Du Wei, the black shadow did not make any strange moves, which made Du Wei feel relieved.

Then, little by little, he approached Alex cautiously, put the silver cross dagger on her chest with one hand, stuffed it into his pocket with the other hand, and knocked open the glass bottle containing holy water with his thumb.

The black shadow kept staring at Du Wei with blank eyes.

But incomprehensible is.

When the silver cross dagger was placed on Alex, many black and fine silk threads broke as if they were caught in a fire, but the black shadow did not move.

"Doesn't that have any effect on it?"

Du Wei frowned, and quickly stretched out his other hand,

He splashed the holy water in the glass bottle on the black shadow.

hum...

An indescribable sound came into Du Wei's ears, and he couldn't help but cover his ears, and it was just such a split second, when he raised his head again, there was nothing in front of him.

The black shadow completely disappeared.

The thin black silk threads extending from Alex's body also seemed to have never appeared before.

"It's all right?"

Du Wei looked at the antique clocks hanging on the wall, and said calmly: "No, not yet."

Ka Ka Ka...

The hour hand of the damaged antique clock is constantly turning with a very regular rhythm.

In the extremely silent room, only the sound of the hour hand turning could be heard, and its minute and second hands always overlapped.

In a sense, this has violated the rules of mechanical construction.

"Is this the medium? Does it exist in physical form, or is it attached to it?"

Du Wei took out the shroud and spread it out, and walked to the antique clock step by step.

But it stopped at a distance of one meter.

He looked down at his right leg, and a pale, rotting hand emerged from the black mist on the ground, gripping his ankle tightly.

This is a woman's hand. Although most of it is rotten, and even the bones can be seen, the slender five fingers, neat and round nails, and a female wedding ring on the ring finger all prove that its identity.

Du Wei saw that there were some letters engraved on the ring: val...

Then, he took out the pistol, pulled the safety, pointed at that hand, and pulled the trigger!

boom! ! !

This hand was instantly smashed to pieces!

Seeing this, Du Wei squinted his eyes: "It's really an entity?"

It stands to reason that evil spirits are formed by certain people after death or certain special existences, and their manifestations are often nihilistic. Even if they can affect reality, their essence cannot be physically manifested.

A thought came to his mind vaguely.

He seemed to be in trouble.

He didn't hesitate any longer, walked quickly to the antique clock face, stepped on the vase, and took it off with his hand.

The entire antique clock feels very heavy to start with. The structure of wood and metal sheets looks very old. Some angel patterns and cross carvings have a church style, which looks sacred and solemn.

But on the back of the clock, there is a relief of a goat's head.

In some church cultures, the goat is often a metaphor, a symbol of evil and demons.

"Show people the holiness and hide the evil behind it?"

Du Wei thought of a sentence describing certain pathological personality criminals in a psychology-related work he read many years ago.

"Now, it's time to end."

Then he spread the shroud on the ground and placed the antique clock on it.

According to Father Tony, the holy water can temporarily disperse evil spirits, and the shroud can isolate the power of evil spirits. This is a common method used by exorcists, and it is also a common method used in exorcism ceremonies.

However, at this moment, Du Wei's body froze suddenly, and a hand that was smooth and delicate and well-maintained at first glance was placed on his shoulder.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, behind Du Wei, the expressionless Alex, with red eyes, raised a silver cross dagger in one hand and aimed it at his head.
