Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 378 - : 375, friend, shake hands (fourth update)

Chapter 378: 375, friend, shake hands (fourth update)

In the reception room.

Du Wei looked at the expression in Josh’s eyes and suddenly smiled.

He said, “From the analysis of your dreams, the target of that shadow has always been your family, not you, because you are the dreamer, and can only look on indifferently.”

Josh said with confusion, “It does seem like that, but why is that?”

Du Wei spoke slowly, “This involves the concept of dreams, perhaps I should interpret your dream for you.”

Interpret a dream?

...

Hearing this, Josh was bewildered, “Mr. Du Wei, aren’t you an exorcist? Why would you interpret my dream? That doesn’t seem to fit with your profession, does it?”

Du Wei said gravely, “Before I became an exorcist, I was a psychologist.”

Josh said in surprise, “A psychologist? I went to see one a few days ago, but the vibe I got from them was completely different from yours. You’re much more composed. Honestly, I feel like you are the one who’s really looking on indifferently.”

Du Wei explained, “It’s simple, because I taught myself psychology, and my original profession was a forensic scientist.”

The next second.

Josh was utterly stunned, looking at Du Wei with a very strange expression.

It was as if he had seen a ghost.

Forensic scientist… Psychologist… Exorcist…

These three professions don’t seem to be related at all…

In the end, he said helplessly, “Well then, please tell me what exactly is going on with my dream, and what does it have to do with me.”

Upon hearing this.

Du Wei pulled out a chair and walked towards him, as he spoke, “All the scenes you dreamt about are happening in reality at the same time.”

“At first, fear originated from you.”

“Then your wife became aware of it, followed by your older son, then your younger son, and eventually your entire family was engulfed in fear.”

“Evil Spirits are different from one another, some satisfy their need to kill and then they attack you directly, but some need the fear.”

“The more you fear them, the more terrifying they become.”

“In other words, as long as you’re not afraid of it, it can’t do anything to you in the short term.”

As he said this, Du Wei’s tone suddenly became heavier, “Mr. Josh, judging from what you’ve described, it should be targeting you as it is connected to your dreams.”

“But in reality, it’s not.”

“Whether it’s what I’ve seen or what you’ve described, it all points to one thing, the Evil Spirit’s target isn’t you.”

“This defies common sense unless the Evil Spirit is under your influence.”

“The more you fear something, the more it will actually do it.”

“The Evil Spirit that targeted you when you were eight years old is very likely to be the same one you’re encountering now.”

Du Wei walked up to Josh, his gaze serenely fixed on him.

Spirit Vision had given Du Wei part of the information.

If everything Josh said was true, then the answer to the problem was clear.

To resolve this Evil Spirit incident, they should start with this man.

“So Mr. Josh, do you remember what happened in the year you were eight?”

“I… I can’t remember at all.”

“Then could you tell me about the dream you had from yesterday to early this morning? You seem to have not mentioned it to me, is it because you didn’t have a dream, or is there another reason?”

“I…”

…

In place.

Josh looked at Du Wei with a struggling expression.

The tension and horror on his face could not be concealed any longer.

This was not at all the dream interpretation he had expected.

With the most straightforward words, Du Wei attributed his predicament to himself.

For Josh, those words felt like the sharpest sword pierced into his heart, twisting back and forth.

Unable to comply.

“Mr. Du Wei, I didn’t dream at all last night…”

After a while, Josh forced a smile and said a sentence.

Anyone with eyes could see he was lying.

But he was so insistent that no one could get a straight answer out of him.

Du Wei looked into his eyes and smiled as well, “Okay, let’s leave it at that for now, it was a pleasure communicating.”

With that, Du Wei extended his right hand.

It looked very polite.

Josh hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook Du Wei’s hand, “A pleasure to communicate.”

For some reason.

He felt that the exorcist’s right hand was excessively cold.

Just like holding a piece of ice.

A chilling coldness crept up from the spot where their hands met, spreading toward his shoulder.

Quickly releasing the hand, Josh followed up with another question, “So when does the exorcism begin? You know, my family’s situation is quite troublesome right now. I just moved houses again a couple of days ago, but that Evil Spirit still refuses to leave my family alone; I urgently need to resolve this matter.”

Du Wei said calmly, “It will take place tonight. You can go out and see your family now and call Father Weiss in on your way.”

Josh uttered an “oh,” thanked him a few more times, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

It didn’t take long.

Father Weiss came in and closed the door behind him.

He said respectfully, “Your Excellency, do you have any instructions?”

Du Wei looked at his right hand, not turning his head as he spoke, “I will deal with the Evil Spirit that has been troubling Josh’s family tonight. It’s dangerous, so I need everyone unrelated to the matter to leave the church.”

Father Weiss suddenly understood, “Alright, I will prepare the clergy right now and ensure they won’t disturb you.”

Du Wei frowned, “Also, take Josh’s family with them.”

Father Weiss, puzzled, asked, “Aren’t they being targeted by the Evil Spirit? Why should we take them away?”

Du Wei said coldly, “Because the target of that Evil Spirit is them. What you need to ensure now is that when night falls, the entire church besides me will have only Josh.”

Father Weiss found this stranger still, “Should I inform Josh?”

Du Wei shook his head, “He mustn’t know, but you can tell him that the exorcism happens one person at a time, and therefore each person has to stay alone in a room.”

With teeth gritted, Father Weiss said, “I understand, Your Excellency. I’ll get on it right away.”

Du Wei hummed in response and waved him off.

After Father Weiss left,

Du Wei’s expression turned very cold.

Without anyone around, this was his true state now.

“Even if you don’t say it, I can roughly guess what you dreamt about last night.”

“You dreamt you killed your family.”

“You think what you dreamt of was the Evil Spirit possessing you, but in fact, it has never left you.”

Looking at his right hand, Du Wei slowly stretched it out and then clenched it.

The mark on the back of his hand, resembling a pointer, had dimmed significantly after last activating his Marking Ability.

But now, it became gradually clearer.

“Anyone who has had contact with me gets marked. I’m curious if you will notice,”

He was referring to that Evil Spirit.

Then, he answered, “I don’t think it will.”

After hearing what Josh said, Du Wei felt there was something very wrong with him.

The Evil Spirit wouldn’t make exceptions for anyone.

Unless that person had issues themselves, becoming a medium for the existence of the Evil Spirit.

Therefore, Du Wei quietly underwent Evil Spirit Transformation and shook hands with Josh.

And he received an unexpected surprise.

The marking was successful…

Easier than marking any other Evil Spirit.
