Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

In the room, the sixteen-year-old boy, Billy, couldn’t stop crying.

Before, he had already informed Du Wei that his younger brother had been eaten alive by the monster that looked like a clown.

To the side,

Gena said with a bitter tone, “We’ve chosen to call the police and have also checked under the tree Billy mentioned, but we didn’t find any traces of blood.”

Du Wei nodded slightly and said, “Things like Evil Spirits are generally invisible to the average person unless they are targeted. Moreover, those entities are very bizarre and can’t be understood with known logic.”

Gena sighed and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Du Wei thought for a moment, walked over to Billy, and, in a state of Spirit Vision, quietly observed the black mist on Billy’s body.

Though he did not feel any malice,

It didn’t mean they would be at peace.

"I need to get it to target me first.”

He said to himself silently, and then he said to Gena and Bill, “Please close your eyes, I need to conduct an experiment.”

The father and son didn’t think much of it and closed their eyes.

The next second,

A spine-chilling coldness emerged in their hearts, making their hair stand on end as if a terrifying entity had targeted them.

But when they opened their eyes again, everything had returned to normal.

In their eyes, Dr. Du Wei’s right hand was casually in his pocket, his expression cool, no different from before.

Gena asked in confusion, “What did you do?”

Du Wei replied indifferently, “I’ve taken care of some trouble for your child, but that’s not important.”

Bill bit his lip and said, “Uncle Du Wei, I suddenly feel a lot lighter in my heart.”

Du Wei raised an eyebrow and said, “That’s because you’ve also become a target of that ghostly thing. Now that I’ve removed the trouble from you, it won’t target you anymore, so remember, don’t be afraid.”

After saying this, he asked another question, “By the way, do you know if any other kids in Derry Town have seen that clown?”

Bill shook his head; he had been staying at home recently and hadn’t gone out much, so he wasn’t aware of what was happening outside.

At this moment, his father Gena spoke up with a frown, “I did hear that a few children encountered Pennywise. Are you looking for them?”

Du Wei nodded and said, “Yes, but I can go alone. Just tell me where they are.”

Gena replied, “They are all at the town’s school, but at this time, the school won’t let you in, as the children are preparing for the middle school exams.”

"Please tell me their information.”

"Ena, Ferran, and Paul, they are all in the same class as Billy.”

Du Wei’s hand, transformed by the Evil Spirit, was in his pocket, feeling the cold, sinister chill. He thought for a moment and then said, “I see, but now, I have to go find them.”

Gena immediately said, “You just got here and you’re already leaving; I should properly host you.”

As he said this, Gena’s face suddenly turned red; he remembered the current financial embarrassment of the household. A warm welcome meant extra expenses, and Billy was going to high school in the second half of the year.

Du Wei shook his head slightly, “No need, I wish you a pleasant life.”

Hearing this, Gena could only sigh, “Then let me walk you out.”

"All right…”

…

At 11:03 AM, with moderate rain,

Du Wei left Gena’s house and casually called Officer Tom.

Once the call connected,

He got straight to the point, “I’m currently in Derry Town dealing with an Evil Spirit incident, but I need a special permit from the police.”

On the other end of the phone, Tom said in surprise, “There’s an Evil Spirit incident in Derry Town?”

Du Wei explained, “Yes, and I can’t be certain whether it’s an Evil Spirit or not, but it’s malevolent and specifically targets young children, posing a great danger.”

Tom said helplessly, “Derry Town falls within New York’s jurisdiction. Indeed, I can call their police station and get you a special permit, but if people are going to die, it’ll be difficult for me to explain later.”

Du Wei spoke calmly, “I assure you, no one will die at the hands of the Evil Spirit.”

Tom expressed his doubts, “That doesn’t sound like something you would say. Every time you’ve dealt with an Evil Spirit incident in the past, someone has died…”

Du Wei replied coldly, “Because this time, the target of the Evil Spirit can only be me!”

"What do you mean? Don’t try to be a hero. If something happens to you, your girlfriend will definitely come to the police station looking for us, fuck! She’s too rich, we can’t afford to mess with her!”

Du Wei remained indifferent, “I know what I’m doing. I’ve faced even more dangerous situations, so please don’t worry about my safety.”

On the other end of the phone.

After a moment of silence, Tom finally said, “Alright, just go directly to the Derry Town police station. I’ll get them to prepare a special permit right now.”

Du Wei made a sound of acknowledgment and hung up directly.

Then, he finally pulled out his right hand, which had undergone an Evil Spirit Transformation, from his pocket.

The right hand was pale.

Under the state of Spirit Vision, it was clear to see that the whole right hand was enveloped in black mist.

To say so seemed a bit inaccurate.

It should be said that the black mist was tightly grasped by his right hand and couldn’t escape at all.

The mist continuously tried to seep out from Du Wei’s grasp, forming an ethereal state, as if it possessed a kind of cold and evil will.

It was struggling.

But to no avail.

In Gena’s house, the moment they closed their eyes, Du Wei had entered an Evil Spirit Transformation and captured it in one fell swoop.

The mist gave him a strange feeling.

Like a puzzle piece, incomplete.

And though it seemed related to Billy, it was actually something entirely unfamiliar.

If Billy were considered a vessel, then it was a terrifying thing that resided within Billy, feeding on fear.

"It doesn’t seem like an Evil Spirit or an Evil Spirit Transformation; it’s more like Annabelle because both exhibit parasitic behavior,” said Du Wei, his tone still cold and devoid of any emotion.

More like an Evil Spirit than a person.

"But this thing seems to be influenced by the Black Umbrella…”

He loosened his grip on the black mist with his right hand and watched as it tried to break free from the range of the Black Umbrella, but it couldn’t get out no matter what, and his brain calmly made a judgment:

"This should be Pennywise, but obviously, it’s just a part of it. Seen as a puzzle piece, Pennywise emerges every twenty-seven years, targeting those young children who are most susceptible to fear.”

"But right now, I don’t know the connection between the Clown that Billy saw and this puzzle piece that’s attached to him.”

"So now I have two theories.”

"One is that every child targeted will have a puzzle piece on them, absorbing their fear to grow stronger, and after merging, it becomes the complete Pennywise.”

"The other is that the so-called Clown is Pennywise itself, and the puzzle piece on Billy is just a manifestation of the fear he felt after seeing it.”

"If it’s the latter, then I might not be able to do anything about it, because I don’t meet the age prerequisite, nor will I feel fear, so there’s no chance it will target me.”

"But if it’s the former, then what I need to do is collect the puzzle pieces and create conditions that would get its attention.”

Having finished speaking, Du Wei tucked his right hand into his pocket, propped up the umbrella, shouldered his bag, and walked towards the Derry Town police station…

His goal was clear.

To find Pennywise, transfer the Antique Clock onto it, and if possible to eradicate it, Du Wei wouldn’t choose to let it go.
