Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

"Fuck! Du Wei? How the hell are you in the car?"

"You shouldn't be in the car!"

As Du Wei's voice rang out from the back seat.

Father Tony was completely flabbergasted; he had forgotten that Tom, who was driving, had lost consciousness, and the entire sedan was out of control.

His face was a picture of dumbfounded shock.

Meanwhile, Du Wei expressionlessly pointed at the steering wheel, "So what are you still thinking about?"

Father Tony snapped out of it and hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel.

Du Wei then pulled out a flintlock gun and fired a shot out of the window.

With a boom.

The deafening gunshot jolted Tom, who had just fallen into a dream, wide awake.

He said angrily, "Fuck! Where is this? What about those twenty beauties just now? It ended before it even started?"

"There were no beauties; you were just dreaming."

Hearing this.

Tom subconsciously looked around the car.

Seeing Father Tony turned sideways, gripping the steering wheel, he snatched it back, "What's going on, did I just fall asleep?"

Father Tony answered, "Yes, and to think Mr. Du Wei is actually in the car, it's unbelievable."

Tom turned his head, his eyelids twitching, "Bro, how did you get in here?"

Du Wei frowned, "No time to explain now. Something serious happened in New York. Two Strangenesses have merged into one, and it has set its sights on me."

"I can feel it hurtling towards our location at great speed."

"Tom, floor the gas pedal, drive as fast as you can."

At this moment.

The sense of impending doom in Du Wei's heart hadn't subsided one bit.

In the darkness, he felt as if he could see an abysmal darkness, from which a terrible will emerged, staring at him with eyes full of dreadful hatred.

As if.

Even if chased to the ends of the earth, it would not let him go.

All was predicated on a fight to the death.

Du Wei knew.

Apart from having screwed over those two Strangenesses one too many times, inciting quite a bit of enmity, there was also a more direct factor involved.

The driver's seat of the bus was meant for the Evil Spirit side of himself.

A long time ago, this terrifying Strangeness had already shown its malevolence.

As for the Horror House.

Previously, it only harbored enmity towards him, but now combined with the bus, it was clear the hatred had compounded, completely aligned against him.

Tom had no reason to doubt Du Wei's words.

As he pushed the car to its maximum speed, he clenched his teeth and said, "Du Wei, you're not fucking with me, are you? A Strangeness is after you? What the hell is that thing?"

"Aren't you a hunter? Killing it should be simple, right?"

Father Tony spoke with a tone laced with horror, "Two Strangenesses merging into one, I've never heard of such a thing. Mr. Du Wei, what exactly is going on?"

Du Wei rolled down the car window, turning his head to scan the blurred road behind them as the sound of the whooshing wind reached his ears.

Thank goodness, it had not caught up yet.

Then he pulled his body back in and said in a grave voice to Father Tony and Tom, "It's the bus and the Horror House. I thought these two Strangenesses had settled down and wouldn't cause trouble for a long time."

"But I never expected them to merge into a single entity."

"Right now, I don't have the ability to kill them, and that's the biggest problem."

In fact, that was the case.

The only useful ally Du Wei had at his disposal was the shadow.

But the shadow was just a lone Demon Spirit, and right now, it was not at its peak because it had lost a Dagger.

Even at its peak, it could only contend with the bus alone, and would likely be quickly overwhelmed.

Not to mention, the combination of two Strangenesses now equates to more than a mere sum of their parts.

Secondly.

What was originally Du Wei's trump card, the oil painting that could have provided him a safe escape, was rendered useless.

It was now a fight to the death.

Even if he fled to the Public Sea, he guessed he'd still be caught up.

The situation would only get worse.

Tom, who was driving the car, heard Horror House and said in surprise, "Are you talking about the Horror House that disappeared from New York? I remember we even went there."

"It seems the first time I got a promotion and a raise was because you called to tell me many people had died in the Horror House."

Du Wei's face darkened as he said, "Yes, that's the Horror House that holds a grudge against me."

Father Tony beside him tentatively asked, "What about the bus? Is it the one you investigated before?"

Du Wei's complexion grew even darker.

Father Tony and Tom gasped in shock.

"Brother, why are they fixated only on you?"

"Mr. Du Wei, did you do something to them?"

Their words made Du Wei quite embarrassed.

How could he explain?

Should he say that the bus and Horror House were just two of the more dangerous entities he had wronged among the Strangeness and Demon Spirits, with many more of a similar, not less formidable nature?

As he was thinking this.

Suddenly, an idea dawned on Du Wei.

He squinted his eyes and thought of a solution.

"Tom, where are you planning to drive to now?"

"Just... to Yard City."

Du Wei nodded his head, "No wonder the route looked familiar. At the junction of Yard City and Esselgreen, there's a road that leads to Massas City."

"Remember, when we get to the junction, don't hesitate—just drive straight through."

Tom hadn't spoken.

Father Tony exclaimed in shock, "Massas City? Mr. Du Wei, you went there not long ago. You know the situation in that city is terrible, and it's extremely dangerous."

Du Wei said coldly, "That's why I'll part ways with you and lead them there alone. If I manage to come out alive, that will mean everything is over."

"If I don't make it out."

"Then be prepared for the hunters to risk their lives to fight."

Given the church's current capabilities, aside from Lord Ferren, there were basically no hunters who could contend with the union of two Strangenesses.

Even the odds for His Excellency Cain would be very low.

Because this time, the bus and Horror House, having put aside their differences, now possessed the entire city's reflection.

That was beyond the imagination of the ordinary person.

While saying this, Du Wei picked up his phone and dialed the number of the Exorcists stationed outside Massas City.

The call connected quickly.

He said directly, "I am your bishop, Du Wei. His Excellency Cain should have already passed down instructions regarding me."

"Now, I am ordering all of you to evacuate Massas City."

"Additionally, prepare a car for me on the road leading to Massas City."

"Remember, this is a command!"

After speaking, Du Wei hung up the phone and turned to look at the rear windshield of the car.

It was now past five in the afternoon.

The road ahead was still bright.

Meanwhile, one could see that the darkness of night had still crept in from the rear, accompanied by gloomy clouds, and the rumbling sound of thunder.

A storm was brewing.

And the bus would only appear in the rain.
