Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 676 - 673 The stalemate brought by Rahmers Bell

Chapter 676: 673, The stalemate brought by Rahmer’s Bell Chapter 676: 673, The stalemate brought by Rahmer’s Bell Yes…

Ryan Hamel might indeed still be alive.

Du Wei had interacted with him before and even fought with him in another way; he was very clear about the wisdom and methods of this once genius hunter.

But…

This did not make the situation any better.

On the contrary, it made Du Wei realize a very terrifying thing.

If Ryan Hamel was still alive,

then what form was Ryan existing in now?

...

Had he become that person’s ability?

Or was he already dead?

Du Wei couldn’t think of it.

Somewhat irrationally, he felt agitated.

Two graves, three stone coffins.

The missing grave must still have a stone coffin in it.

Du Wei remained calm; he stood in the pouring rain, the following Evil Spirit Squad giving him a slight sense of reassurance.

The more critical the moment, the more rational he had to be.

He had to grasp even the slightest clues, then perhaps he could learn the truth of the matter.

So,

Du Wei asked himself, “If I am Ryan Hamel, and I am not dead, then why would I let my Evil Spirit Transformation Ability become another me?”

If he weren’t dead, such an act would be completely meaningless.

Power is only power when it’s in one’s own hands.

In someone else’s hands, it would be a lethal factor threatening one’s existence.

Putting himself in their shoes, Du Wei himself would never allow his Evil Spirit Transformation Ability to extend into another self, especially one without his memories.

Thinking of this,

he came up with an answer, “There are only two possibilities for Ryan’s appearance: one is that he is not an extension of any ability and is indeed Ryan Hamel; the second is that Ryan Hamel truly died but lives in this world in another way.”

“He lives in this Inner World? Or is it to say, within Ryan’s worldview?”

“Possibly both.”

Du Wei was not very sure, but after this analysis, he suddenly had some ideas.

“If I am Ryan Hamel, and I’ve left behind two graves, what role would the missing one play?”

“Boine’s Three Stone Coffins possess the power to resurrect a person, but that Demon God died in the past, or perhaps this legend itself has a significant flaw.”

“The last stone coffin must have played a decisive role; otherwise, Ryan Hamel wouldn’t have started setting up his plan over twenty years ago.”

“That coffin may hide his secret. If I can find that coffin, I could very likely clear up the situation.”

Du Wei analyzed.

He could only deduce that the problem lay with the last stone coffin.

But this Inner World was constructed from Ryan’s worldview, and now he and Matthew had vanished, making it impossible to find them.

Not finding the people also meant not finding the last stone coffin.

And not finding the last stone coffin also meant not finding him and Matthew.

Du Wei fell into a vicious cycle.

Suddenly…

Du Wei inhaled sharply.

His right hand trembled violently, and the pattern of the indicator on the back of his hand surfaced on its own, emitting a bone-chilling coldness.

Bone-chilling coldness is just an idiom.

But when you truly experience that feeling, you only feel pain…

Intense pain, it even resembled a burn.

Du Wei wanted to cover his right hand, but his left hand was still maintaining a friendly relationship with the Evil Spirits; if he separated them, those Evil Spirits would instantly turn against him.

He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

“What’s going on?”

Du Wei bit down hard and let out a low growl.

He saw the indicator pattern on the back of his right hand emitting a strange kind of fluctuation with its aura.

Somehow…

Du Wei felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a buzzing noise also rose in his ears.

In this specific moment within the Inner World, he had not yet returned the Future Sight ability to Alex.

A death scene appeared before him.

In the scene.

He and the Evil Spirit Squad stood in front of Ryan Hamel’s two graves, seemingly contemplating the key to breaking the stalemate.

But suddenly.

The torrential downpour in the Inner World came to a halt, as if a pause button had been pressed.

All the falling raindrops were frozen in place, suspended mid-air.

Du Wei and the Evil Spirit Squad were all immobilized as well.

Then.

Click, click, click…

Accompanied by the sound of a ticking clock, he exploded into a mist of blood, and those Evil Spirits, utterly defenseless, all turned to ash.

The death scene ended there.

Du Wei’s pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

“This way of dying, could it be the Antique Clock? No! It’s Rahmer’s Bell…”

“It… It shouldn’t be in New York, right? Why would it suddenly appear in the Inner World?”

“And even come after me?”

The one who liked to turn people into blood mist, besides Evil Spirit Du Wei, was Rahmer’s Bell; that’s how Hannibal died before.

At the sound of the ticking, he turned into blood mist on the spot.

There was no chance of survival.

But Du Wei couldn’t comprehend why Rahmer’s Bell, which should contain Minette, would act this way. With Minette inside, how could Rahmer come out?

Could it be that something had gone wrong with Minette?

But now there was no time for further thought.

Rahmer’s Bell could appear at any moment to kill him, yet he was still trapped in the loop of Boine’s Three Stone Coffins without a way to break free.

He either had to find a way to live.

Or wait for death right where he was.

Du Wei looked up at the night sky overwhelmed by the downpour, his heart tightening; waiting for death was the most excruciating thing.

And if one can’t be certain when they will die,

That agony turns into torture.

“Hold on, if Rahmer’s Bell is also coming to kill me, then no matter how many tricks I have, it’s no use. The bus is just a Strangeness, it can’t resist.”

“I originally thought about awakening the Evil Spirit version of me at this point in time within the Inner World, but it would first try to seize my body. Even then, it wouldn’t be the real Evil Spirit Du Wei, and I’d still be on the road to death.”

“So the only way out is to escape this Inner World and find a way to awaken the Evil Spirit me.”

“But I can’t find the last coffin, and without seeing Ryan, I just can’t leave.”

Du Wei had entered the Inner World through a painting, and since the painting was in the outer world, he couldn’t pull himself out as if he were nesting dolls.

Otherwise, it would be as pointless as trying to ascend to the heavens by stepping on one’s own foot.

“I need to find a loophole in this Inner World. Ryan is mentally unstable, his world perspective differs from ordinary people, there’s no such thing as logic to him.”

“Anything beyond his comprehension he can’t manifest.”

“But if I think backwards, anything within his comprehension could potentially exist.”

At this thought,

Du Wei suddenly realized that his thinking had fallen into a fallacy after entering the Inner World.

And if he hadn’t identified this fallacy, he might really be doomed to die here.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, then dialed an unknown number.

It was the number Ryan had once told him in a dream when Ryan called him.

When he called in reality, an Evil Spirit answered.

That Evil Spirit was Ryan Hamel.

Doo-doo-doo…

A busy signal…

Du Wei’s breathing became slightly rapid, and the fluctuations in the aura emanating from the pattern on the back of his right hand were becoming more and more terrifying.

He could feel that a fearful will had emerged within the Inner World,

And was seeking him out.

Just then,

The call connected…
