Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 668 - 665 Inside and Outside the Inner World

Chapter 668: 665, Inside and Outside the Inner World? Chapter 668: 665, Inside and Outside the Inner World? “Mr. Du Wei? Are you still there? Hello? Can you hear me?”

“Hello? I can’t see you at all?”

“I’m right at the church entrance now, Mr. Du Wei?”

…

In the rain.

Listening to James’s voice on the other end of the phone, Du Wei’s expression grew increasingly grave.

He had already entered the throes of Evil Spirit Transformation.

...

Even shadows clung to him.

But no matter what he did,

he couldn’t see James standing at the entrance of Dusk Bell Cathedral.

It was as if the space was distorted.

A barrier had risen between the worlds they each inhabited.

In other words,

James was in an Inner World,

while Du Wei was in the outer world.

Of course…

There was another possibility.

That the person on the phone wasn’t James at all.

But some ghostly entity Du Wei had never seen.

Thus,

he remained silent, merely walking on his own towards the entrance of Dusk Bell Cathedral, umbrella in hand.

The rain grew heavier.

James, on the other end of the phone, was now completely panicked: “Mr. Du Wei, can you say something? I feel really uneasy right now, there’s not a soul outside, a downpour is lashing down, the sky is pitch black, and I seem unable to leave Dusk Bell.”

Du Wei did not hang up the phone.

But he had no intention of speaking either.

He arrived in front of the cathedral entrance and looked indifferently at the tightly closed doors.

He didn’t feel anything abnormal.

There was only that silence, as if he were in an uninhabited place.

Should he go in and take a look?

That would be too rash, and he would likely fall into unexpected trouble.

Moreover, once inside, it was possible that there would be no one at Dusk Bell Church.

After a long while,

he folded his umbrella and leaned against the door, the wet rain dripping down the umbrella tip to seep into the ground. Then his tone changed,

becoming even colder.

He commanded James through the phone: “Go inside.”

His command was succinct.

James momentarily froze: “What do you mean? Go into Dusk Bell?”

Du Wei said coldly, “I don’t want to repeat myself. There must be a trace to this anomaly at Dusk Bell, and clearly, you and I are not in the same world right now. I can’t see anything you are seeing.”

“Find any survivors, find the source of the anomaly, and then figure out a way to locate Ryan. I’ll find a way to pull you out.”

“Wait a minute…”

James’s voice was hoarse, trembling intermittently as though Du Wei’s voice reminded him of some unpleasant memory.

“This tone, this way of speaking, you are… you are…”

“Evil Spirit Du Wei…”

James’s transformation into an Evil Spirit had occurred during Du Wei’s first entry into Massas City, but his transformation was not like most hunters.

Because…

He was deeply influenced by Evil Spirit Du Wei.

James had been a pawn of Evil Spirit Du Wei before the fusion occurred.

The more similar to it, the more one becomes it.

It was only later that, due to various coincidences, this pawn was abandoned by Evil Spirit Du Wei and became nothing but a puppet.

Yet James had a vivid memory of Evil Spirit Du Wei, or rather, he was extremely fearful.

However, Du Wei just sneered non-stop.

He deliberately used the tone of Evil Spirit Du Wei and said, “I’ve said that I am Du Wei, and now what are you hesitating for? Are you doubting my existence?”

“No… you should have faith in me, my will is your will, I am your god.”

“So what you need to do now, is to follow my orders.”

“Fear will remind you of everything and will make you stronger.”

…

The call was ended.

Du Wei pocketed his phone and then turned to look behind him.

He didn’t trust James.

Or perhaps, under these circumstances, he didn’t trust anyone.

Therefore, he thought of provoking James a bit to see his reaction, hoping it might yield some useful information.

Although it was exploitation.

It was also the most reliable method at present.

The anomaly at the Dusk Bell Church had caught Du Wei completely off-guard.

This scene, he had never seen before…

…

On the other side.

From James’s perspective.

The surroundings were drenched by a downpour, no one stood at the church entrance, darkness everywhere.

Just like a stage with its curtains drawn.

He was the sole performer.

At this moment.

James’s complexion was extremely pale.

His face was covered in sweat, veins bulging, heart thumping at an alarmingly rapid pace, and he felt a nauseating urge to vomit.

Thump…

James fell to his knees, a fierce expression on his face; he pressed his hands against the cold ground, bent at the waist, mouth open, unable to stop the dry heaving.

Drip…

But all he could throw up was some acidic liquid.

Many images flashed through his mind.

He felt as if he were back in Massas City, that despairing Uninhabited City, where Evil Spirits were everywhere, but he was powerless to do anything.

Everything seemed ferocious and terrifying.

Even the air was tainted with the scent of despair.

“Ahh…”

With a loud shout, James banged his head on the ground, making a pounding noise, his forehead immediately bloodied and smeared, bleeding profusely.

He had completely entered the Evil Spirit Transformation.

In a daze.

He saw a man dressed in black with a cold, ruthless expression walking towards him, but he couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, only a pair of eyes.

Those eyes possessed pure rationality and coldness.

Right after.

James’s eyes became identical.

He was forced into the Evil Spirit Transformation.

And he couldn’t stop it at all.

Matthew had misunderstood something.

He thought Ryan was Du Wei’s man, which was correct.

But he thought James was a church spy, which might not be the case.

He was an Evil Spirit, Du Wei’s man.

Bang…

With a punch on the ground, James stood up coldly, his gaze turning toward the church entrance.

In that moment.

Even if he wasn’t in the same space as Du Wei, their gazes met.

He stepped in.

In the blink of an eye, the thick darkness swallowed him up.

…

Outside.

Du Wei was also preparing to do something.

He felt the one-sided connection with James strengthen again.

The other seemed like a Puppet to him, one he could take control of at any moment.

So.

He said, “It looks like he is indeed James, but I also dare not rush into the Dusk Bell now due to the current anomaly because this place is not under my control.”

“James’s current situation seems to have been expelled from the Inner World. He is the only safe existence, while Ryan has disappeared without a trace.”

“This might have something to do with the anomaly. Find the source of the anomaly, solve it, and maybe we can rescue Ryan.”

“Just relying on James isn’t very hopeful; in the end, it’s up to me.”

Having said that, Du Wei took out a piece of an oil painting he had cut out — another door.

He directly pasted the oil painting on the main entrance of the Dusk Bell Church.

Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

The painting contained a Ghost Dimension, which was the school from sixteen years ago, a world completely controlled by Du Wei, although it was almost useless.

But now it seemed it might finally come in handy.
