Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Inside the cross-shaped corridor.

Du Wei halted, his right hand holding a bottle of Holy Water, his left hand gripping the silver cross dagger he had gotten from the hunter, Andrew Dowqui.

Some Evil Spirits are capable of influencing reality, even manipulating the human body.

He had witnessed this already.

Looking behind the rusty door, standing in the shadows, with its back to him, Du Wei made a judgment under the state of Spirit Vision, which was more accurate and direct than the sixth sense.

"It's a corpse."

He thought for a moment, leaned in closer and began inspecting carefully, making out the clothes on the body with the help of the flickering, dim light.

What puzzled him was that he seemed to see some threads.

"This is the second staff member's corpse I've encountered."

Then, he turned his head and glanced at the iron door on his right.

Behind this door was another body, but the scene that met his eyes was even more horrifying.

Behind the rusty door, wrapped in darkness, stood a white female dressed in hot shorts and a snug T-shirt, on tiptoe in the dark, her eyes wide open, empty.

Her posture was very strange, as the tiptoeing forced her body to lean forward. Her already-tall stature, due to her racial advantage, made her appear over one meter seventy in height, incredibly imposing.

From Du Wei's angle, their gazes met directly.

Under the Spirit Vision.

He saw a face flickering in the dark behind the white female, it was that Evil Spirit girl, still bearing resentment and a deathly stillness.

"This body belongs to a tourist."

Immediately after, Du Wei's eyebrows subconsciously furrowed as he looked closely at the white female's neck.

Even though the light was dim, and most of the woman's body was shrouded in darkness, as if covered by a thin veil, Du Wei still noticed a faint blue-black strangulation mark around her neck…

Upon a closer look, he could see the tough steel wire embedded into the flesh of her neck.

There was no doubt, she had been strangled to death…

And the tough steel wire…

Du Wei sheathed the cross dagger and casually took out a lighter.

A bean-sized flame sprang to life.

Du Wei stood at the entrance of the iron door, just one step away from entering the cell.

Through the light of the lighter, Du Wei finally made out the general situation.

The so-called white threads were extremely fine steel wires used for hanging…

The steel wire wrapped around her neck, extending backwards into the darkness, pulling her body up slightly, which explained her tiptoed stance…

And that Evil Spirit girl…

Du Wei had a vague feeling that he was catching on to something, but he was unsure if the other party was leading and hinting at him again.

From the moment he had stepped into this cross-shaped corridor, he had known why he had returned to the starting point twice. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

This was supposed to be a segment of the Horror House, similar to the concept of being trapped in an endless loop, except it was man-made and the design was relatively clever.

The swaying, flickering lights, the almost imperceptible eerie sounds, and the vast shadowy areas, along with the corroded iron doors on either side of the corridor, were all deliberately creating an atmosphere to mislead one's hearing and senses.

Moreover, the corridor itself is cross-shaped. If every entrance is arranged exactly the same, then subconsciously, one would take the evil spirit little girl standing at the center as a point of reference.

Thinking this, Du Wei was quite certain that there must have been other references, or say staff members, acting as this coordinate before the appearance of the Evil Spirit.

"I know where your medium is."

Not looking at the corpse behind the iron door on the right anymore, Du Wei pocketed his lighter and walked forward expressionlessly with his bag on his back.

He walked at an even pace.

Each iron door he passed housed a gruesome corpse, whether it be an employee dressed as a ghost or a visitor who had come to have fun.

Moreover, under Spirit Vision, the frequency at which the evil spirit little girl appeared increased, and sometimes she even lingered for a moment, waving at Du Wei from inside the iron doors with an increasingly ferocious expression.

Yet Du Wei remained utterly calm, his demeanor growing ever more serene, completely ignoring its existence.

This segment was originally controlled by the staff, but now for some reason, all the staff had been killed by the Evil Spirit, and the leader had become the Evil Spirit.

From human to ghost, it is almost a dead end with no solution.

Man-made arrangements affect hearing and perception.

The presence of an Evil Spirit is to let you deceive yourself.

If it were someone else, by now they would probably have fallen into terror and fear, with a slim chance of escape.

But what was here was an excellent psychologist, a church's exorcist-in-training, a hunter who had undergone Evil Spirit Transformation...

...

This corridor was not long, but it was very narrow. Walking through it, a slight movement of your body would bring you up against the iron doors.

The figure of the evil spirit little girl had returned to the center of the cross-shaped corridor. She was already extremely horrifying, with half her face looking as if crushed by a heavy object, flesh muddled, and blood covering her entire skirt.

As Du Wei walked towards her, expressionless and step by step, it opened its mouth and let out a piercing, sharp scream filled with a deep resentment.

In an instant, all the chandeliers started to flicker wildly and shake, then exploded with a bang, plunging the whole corridor into complete darkness.

At the same time, under Spirit Vision, Du Wei saw that the corpses inside each iron door had come to the doorway, staring at him with vacant, chilly eyes.

He was silent for a while, staring at the Evil Spirit, and said calmly, "Evil Spirits possess intelligence, so you've been trying to mislead me, but now, I have found you."

To kill a person, an Evil Spirit must go through the stages of triggering a medium, absorbing emotions like fear and terror, and then taking action...

These are the so-called rules.

"And the medium is right here."

As his words fell,

Without any hesitation, Du Wei took a step forward, and the evil spirit little girl instantaneously disappeared, leaving the corridor in dead silence.

At this moment,

Du Wei took the place of the Evil Spirit, standing at the intersection at the center of the cross-shaped corridor.

He looked up at the ceiling while lighting his lighter.

With the faint light, Du Wei saw that a piece of the ceiling above had been removed.

A girl's corpse, entwined in fine steel wires and dressed in a western gown, was suspended upside down above him.

Her head hung downwards, her face covered in congealed blood clots. One of her eyes was gone, replaced by a hollow, deeply silent gaze that met Du Wei's.

Du Wei's gaze was utterly calm, not a hint of emotional fluctuation on his face.

He scrutinized carefully; each steel wire spread out in different directions, forming a fan shape, like a spider's web, dense and chilling to the core.
