Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 130 129, The extra person (please recommend)

after du wei finished speaking, he took off the mask.

alex took a deep breath, gently embraced him, and caressed his back as she whispered, "my dear, besides leaving, is there anything else i can do to help you?"

du wei shook his head and said, "i have to do this myself, and i am going to get you out of here now."

alex nodded somewhat helplessly. she gently let go of the embrace and took du wei's hand as they walked toward the hall.

but in her heart, she thought that she must find a way to help du wei in the future, to not let him face these dangerous things alone.

after all, new york is a city, and it's almost like a joke that all the evil spirit incidents have to be resolved by her beloved man.

the church is just too unreliable!

alex did not know that although du wei was ostensibly an exorcist, he was in fact a hunter.

the extent of du wei's evil spirit transformation was no longer just confined to his right hand.

he would gradually become like a hunter of the kind andrew dowqui was, possessing the abilities to deal with evil spirits.

of course, this would take some time for a safe transition.

and now, with the mask, the lighter, and the black umbrella, he would transition through this period safely.

...

the two of them walked down the stairs and into the hall.

but at this point, the behavior of everyone there was somewhat beyond du wei's expectations.

victor, despite announcing the cancellation of the gathering and chatting with them, for some reason, everyone reacted strangely.

du wei pulled alex forward.

they then heard victor's somewhat impatient voice, "ladies and gentlemen, i'm sorry, but let me repeat, the gathering is canceled for some reasons, and i will send gifts to apologize later, but could you please leave the winery right now?"

concise and clear.

but the others frowned and said, "ms. victor, you've already announced the gathering's cancellation more than once. what exactly are you trying to say? don't you know that's rude?"

victor's expression was extremely awkward, "i'm sorry; what i want to tell you is to leave the winery quickly, it may not be safe here."

"sorry? what are you trying to tell me?"

du wei heard these words with a flash of coldness in his eyes, turned to alex, and asked, "tell me, what exactly did victor say?"

"huh?" alex was somewhat puzzled but still said, "she said the gathering is canceled for some reason, there will be compensation gifts as an apology, and she also said she's very sorry. what's wrong?"

du wei frowned and said, "these people are influenced; they can't hear the words telling them to leave."

alex asked, puzzled, "then why can i hear it when you tell me to leave?"

that was strange...

he thought to himself, then exited the spirit vision state.

the scene before his eyes reverted to its previous appearance.

"don't leave my sight,"

du wei said to alex before taking her hand and walking toward victor.

at this moment, victor was visibly anxious, with a sheen of sweat on her forehead.

seeing du wei approach, she quickly came up to him and whispered, "mr. du wei, they seem not to hear what i'm saying, what should i do?"

du wei looked at her intently, quelling the doubts in his mind for the moment, and asked, "how many people are at this gathering, including myself?"

"there are 41 people,"

du wei nodded, then began to count one by one.

he had to include victor in the count, as aside from her being the owner, the other servants together only amounted to thirty.

firstly, there were only three servants in this hall, so that made four.

"5...6...10..."

"22...44...45..."

"46?"

du wei's pupils contracted. why were there 46 people?

he thought about it, then counted again.

it was still 46...

meaning, that extra person was among them in the hall.

but just now in the third phase of spirit vision, he hadn't been able to detect who this person could be...

it was a mechanism of the evil spirit...

like on a bus, where one could only see the female evil spirit after the lights were turned off, a similar mechanism.

"things have gotten a bit troublesome,"

du wei muttered to himself and then said to victor, "announce that the gathering will proceed as usual, and please don't tell them about the winery's situation, as that may cause some people to leave the hall."

as long as they don't leave the hall, there won't be a change in numbers, ensuring that the unseen person is also within the hall.

the next step was to find a way to locate it, and then kill it...

after this evil spirit transformation ended, du wei had yet to use his right hand to fight the evil spirit, and he was eager to know if it could cause harm to the evil spirit, just like the lighter and other objects.
