Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 664 - 661 long time no see Pennywise
Chapter 664: 661, long time no see, Pennywise Chapter 664: 661, long time no see, Pennywise Breakfast was over.
Du Wei thus bid farewell to Alex, taking a limousine alone to the airport.
The driver of the car was his cousin, Frobin.
Alex watched the taillights fade away in the rain.
She stood there with an umbrella for a long time.
The drizzle had turned into a downpour.
After a good while,
Alex took out her cellphone and called the church, directing the call to Archbishop Skadi.
...
The Wittebach family, or rather Lawrence, Du Wei’s father-in-law, had not been stingy with donations to the church before.
They maintained that sort of relationship.
Soon,
the call connected.
Alex said in a deep voice, “I heard from Du Wei that you were preparing a plan to eradicate the Evil Spirit, and you needed him to discuss it with you, right?”
Archbishop Skadi replied on the other end, “Yes, Miss Alex, it is a decision made amongst the hunters; I’m not very clear on the specifics, but Lord Du Wei is indeed one of the decision-makers in the plan.”
Alex said coldly, “Are you sure? You know, I’m a hunter now, too. If you’re lying to me, you can’t afford the consequences.”
She always felt that Du Wei was hiding a lot.
But last night, Du Wei had already been in contact with the church.
It was impossible to trap him into revealing anything.
The church’s trust in Du Wei was entirely based on his past actions, as well as his status as His Excellency the Duke.
The weight of each was clear to them.
Archbishop Skadi then said, “Miss Alex, why would I lie to you? There’s no sense in it.”
Alex suddenly laughed, “Sorry, it seems I’m overthinking. Let’s leave it at that for now.”
With that,
she hung up the phone.
…
Meanwhile,
on the car ride, Du Wei also received a call from Archbishop Skadi.
“Lord Du Wei, your girlfriend seems to be getting suspicious.”
“Oh? She called you, did she?”
“Yes, everything is as you expected.”
“Then proceed with the plan. According to what I know about her, she’ll probably make a trip to St. Bodia. But when she does, tell her I’m in the altar with the other hunter Lords, discussing the plan in secret, and I can’t be contacted from the outside world.”
“Alright…”
After ending the call,
Frobin, who was driving, turned and said, “Brother-in-law, by deceiving her this way, what will you do if she finds out later?”
He referred to Alex.
Du Wei glanced at Frobin and said, “Why would she find out? The men of the church are my men; they would never betray me. Are you suggesting that you might?”
Frobin quickly shook his head, still driving, “Don’t say that, brother-in-law. I’m in the same boat as you, I’m also the leader of the heretical Duke Bai’s Cult; how could I possibly betray you?”
Du Wei sneered, “It’s precisely because you are the leader of the Duke Bai’s Cult that you might betray me.”

Frobin panicked, “Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?”
Du Wei said calmly, “A lie needs countless other lies to hold it up, and right now, the Duke Bai’s Cult is more of a risk than a benefit to me.”
Frobin asked in confusion, “But didn’t you say just a while ago that you thought the Duke Bai’s Cult had potential?”
Du Wei paused before saying, “That was then, not now. I now see significant issues with the Duke Bai’s Cult because its predecessor was called the Everlasting Flower, and there’s a big problem with that name by itself.”
Frobin tentatively asked, “You mean it’s related to the Evil Spirit or something?”
Du Wei frowned, “I can’t figure it out either, but sooner or later I will know. For now, I plan to use the Duke Bai’s Cult for an experiment.”
Frobin inquired, “What kind of experiment?”
Du Wei replied, “Add a clause to the doctrine that the so-called Duke, the god of the Duke Bai’s Cult, is actually one of Solomon’s Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods, but don’t be specific. Just make the concept vague.”
Hearing this,
Frobin was utterly stunned, “Solomon’s Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods? What is that?”
Du Wei said indifferently, “My arch enemy. Anyway, just do as I’ve instructed, and only then will the Duke Bai’s Cult seem to still have purpose for me. Otherwise, I will sever ties with it, and from then on, no matter what happens, I won’t get involved.”
Frobin nodded vigorously, “I understand.”
Du Wei hummed in acknowledgment, his gaze turning towards the car window.
The gradually thickening rain fog left him feeling rueful.
The reason for this was nothing more than constructing his plan to trap the Demon God to death, the more backup plans he had, the more trump cards he represented.
If it didn’t work once, there would be a next time.
One ring after another.
He refused to believe those ghostly things were indestructible.
…
Late at night.
At the distant Swiss Airport.
Because of jet lag.
The sky in Switzerland was just beginning to brighten.
Du Wei hadn’t slept all night.
But his spirits were high.
The Dusk Bell Church was located right in the city center.
Of course, Du Wei couldn’t just walk in and start trouble, especially since it was entirely made up of hunters from the organization, which could be said to be extremely dangerous.
He simply found a hotel nearby and checked in.
Moreover, as long as he opened the window, he could see the entirety of the Dusk Bell Church.
The tall building style was identical to that of a church.
At first glance, it looked like a division of the church.
But overall, it was rather dark.
And for some reason, looking at the Dusk Bell Church in Noda, Du Wei always felt an inexplicable chill and eeriness.
“That shouldn’t be…”
“The Dusk Bell gives me the feeling of a den where Evil Spirits rampage, but with hunters like Matthew inside, how could there be Evil Spirits?”
“Could this be their style?”
Du Wei was perplexed, he directly took out his laptop, and while sipping coffee, he scrolled through the files sent over from the church, about the Dusk Bell Church.
But after looking left and right for a while.
He found that it didn’t match up at all.
Du Wei now faced a dilemma…
“Let me observe a bit more; the situation here at the Dusk Bell is entirely different from what I expected. I mustn’t act rashly for now,” he said.
Suddenly, from under the bed in the room, from that dark corner, a sinister laugh sounded again.
Du Wei frowned.
“Come out,” he said.
As his voice fell.
A vicious claw stretched out from under the bed, the hand was grayish-white, the claws black, scraping sharp trails on the floor, looking incredibly sharp.
Then, a face painted with greasepaint, like that of a circus clown, appeared.
Pennywise, with a mouth full of sharp fangs, crawled out from under the bed, staring at Du Wei with a vicious smile.
In its other hand, it was holding a red balloon.
Yes…
This Demon Spirit, mockingly referred to as the bravest by the Envelope, had been revived by Du Wei.
As it looked at Du Wei.
Du Wei was also looking at it.
And sneering continuously at it, “You seem quite dissatisfied with me, having just been revived for a day. As one who feeds on fear, have you forgotten what fear is?”
Pennywise seemed to recall something.
But before it could react, a sharp, huge kitchen knife was pressed against its head.
Turning around, the dissatisfaction in the bloodshot eyes of the shadow was intensely fixed on it.
The Envelope also wriggled out of Du Wei’s pocket.
Hovering in front of Pennywise, it appeared to take great delight in the misfortune.
[I, the Envelope, am willing to call you the bravest Evil Spirit, daring to show off in front of the master. Aren’t you tired of living?]
Pennywise, seeing this, was completely dumbfounded.
However, Du Wei approached it, step by step, his black eyes devoid of any emotion.
This reminded Pennywise of those unpleasant memories.
It trembled…
The red balloon it was holding was visibly shrinking as if it was deflating.
