Chapter 380: 377, Prison Cage
In the room.
Josh’s breathing gradually became steady as he looked at the pocket watch, not knowing why, but he began to feel drowsy.
A heavy lethargy slowly crept into his mind.
Josh discovered that the method he somewhat despised, of using the watch to hypnotize, was actually real...
What made him even more uncomfortable was
that he now completely lost control over his body and consciousness, only able to follow Du Wei’s light voice, being guided to relax, then his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
...
Snap...
Josh leaned back in his chair.
His eyes closed tightly, seemingly falling into sleep.
Seeing this scene,
Du Wei carelessly tossed the watch aside.
All those special exorcism techniques were just bluffing people.
Even though Freddy was tricked quite badly by it, using the watch to hypnotize was probably only good for putting people to sleep.
Clearing his throat,
Du Wei began to question Josh, “What was the most terrifying thing you encountered when you were eight?”
He didn’t start off by mentioning the Evil Spirit.
Because that might cause Josh to become defensive.
The other party opened his mouth, speaking in a dull voice, “I came across two people.”
“Strange people?”
Du Wei was somewhat puzzled, wasn’t it the Evil Spirit?
He frowned and asked, “What about these two people made you feel terrified?”
As his words fell,
Josh’s body trembled a little, then settled down.
“Those two people were like actors from a circus, they spoke very amusingly, one wearing a mask and the other quite handsome with golden hair, and they said I was special, leading me to a frightening place.”
Du Wei asked again, “What did you experience in that place?”
Josh murmured, “I... I can’t remember clearly, it seemed to be a very narrow corridor, and there was a door, they led me in, then told me to push the door open.”
“Then, I saw a pair of eyes.”
“Just eyes?”
“Yes, then those two people vanished, and I was very scared. All I could see were those eyes, they seemed like they wanted to tell me something, then I found myself back home.”
“What happened next? An Exorcist came to your house?”
“No...”
“There were no Exorcists, the people who came were the same two who had asked me to push the door.”
“They told me that it was a failed experiment, and then...when I woke up, my parents told me the two people had left, everything was back to normal.”
...
After hearing Josh’s story, Du Wei fell into deep thought.
He encountered two people when he was eight.
One wore a mask, and the other had golden hair.
In the room, he was alone, and a presence carrying malice was quietly pervading the space.
“What’s going on?”
Du Wei whispered, immediately taking out his mask and putting it on.
Shadow attachment...
But the sense of crisis did not abate in the slightest.
Instead, it became even more intense.
This encounter with the Evil Spirit felt different from the previous ones.
The unseen presence was far more terrifying than anything Du Wei had encountered before.
Without even making an appearance, it gave him an unequivocal feeling of doom.
This...
Was like a complete disaster...
Du Wei remained calm, his right hand pulling out the Flintlock Gun, while his left hand reached into his pocket and pressed down on the lighter.
Whoosh...
A bright red flame emerged.
And it shot up unusually high.
This lighter hadn’t been used for a long time, usually just for lighting cigarettes, but it had one feature.
It simply wouldn’t light unless there was no Evil Spirit nearby.
But once it did light up, it meant the Evil Spirit was close by, and the more terrifying the Evil Spirit, the stronger the flame would be.
The light from the lighter illuminated a small area around Du Wei.
But before he could get a clear view,
Josh’s face appeared right in front of Du Wei’s eyes.
His originally pale, haggard face now bore an abnormal flush, covered in cold sweat and unnaturally white.
His eyes were also completely black, as if possessed by an Evil Spirit, but the feeling it gave was somewhat different.
“Heh heh heh...”
Josh opened his mouth and sneered at Du Wei, “Huh...”
He lowered his head and blew out the lighter directly.
All of this happened unbelievably fast.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Du Wei retreated while his right hand pulled the trigger of the Flintlock Gun.
Boom...
Sparks flew in the darkness.
The bullet missed completely, hitting the wall and making a crisp sound.
“He’s not dead...”
As the light vanished, so did Josh.
Du Wei’s expression turned grim as he kept retreating, simultaneously putting the lighter back into his pocket and fumbling for the doorknob from memory.
The situation was beyond his control; staying in this room was not an option...
This person named Josh couldn’t really be considered human; he was a vessel, a container for the Evil Spirit...
And the Evil Spirit within him was possibly a sort of being that came from beyond the door.
