Chapter 381: 378, Only Light Can Cast a Shadow (Third Update)
Bang…
The door was kicked open.
Du Wei, wearing a mask, rushed out in a sorry state.
Then…
His pupils suddenly contracted.
Standing in the corner outside the doorway, bathed in moonlight, was Josh, who had already beco sowhat inhuman.
...
He, or it, had a bloody smile, eyes bulging wide as if they were about to burst out, staring intently at Du Wei.
No shadow…
A sense of inevitable doom filled Du Wei’s heart.
It must be said that this ti, he had t with disaster.
It was not for lack of vigilance.
Du Wei had followed the plan perfectly, and had found the problem, but he hadn’t anticipated that the Evil Spirit would be so formidable.
To actually blow out the lighter…
Not even the shadow entity could do that.
Brutally simple…
Eerily excessive, if that Evil Spirit really had been brought out from behind the door, Du Wei couldn’t imagine what kind of terrible events would unfold once that door was opened.
Just like the na of that door—Hell’s Gate.
“Will I die?”
Du Wei asked himself in his heart, the more critical the situation, the calr he beca.
Then, he told himself, “Absolutely impossible.”
Outside the door.
The figure of Josh in the moonlight beca blurred and disappeared.
Unnervingly unreasonable.
Behind Du Wei, in the darkness, sothing was stealthily reaching out for him.
But that thing was rely a shadow, silent in the darkness, completely undetectable.
Man and shadow seed to have split into two parts.
Just as it was about to touch Du Wei…
His shadow suddenly moved.
The shadow entity stood up from within the shadow, wielding a dagger and making a light slash.
Hiss…
A scream-like sound, mixed with a sizzling noise, drilled into Du Wei’s ears, making his complexion extrely unsightly, his body involuntarily curling, his left hand covering his ears.
“Hmm…”
Du Wei groaned, stuffed the flintlock gun into his pocket, and without looking behind, ran straight away.
But he hadn’t run far before Josh reappeared in the corridor ahead.
It leaped at Du Wei with a hideous laugh.
Behind Du Wei, the darkness grew denser, spreading like mist.
It moved silently, blocking every path.
Du Wei squinted his eyes, tucked the flintlock gun into his pocket, and when he took his hand out again, he was holding a pistol.
A flintlock gun can fire only once.
But a pistol is different.
“The reason you’re after is simply because I wanted you to be.”
“Your appearance, all happened under my influence.”
“What makes you think you can kill ?”
Du Wei’s voice carried a sinister tone, and at the sa ti, his left hand took out a coin.
He flipped it.
Heads.
Fate smiled upon him.
Bang…
Fire burst from the barrel of the gun, a bullet flying forth.
Josh’s figure twisted and vanished.
But just as it disappeared, it was thrown out of thin air, crashing heavily on the floor.
The bullet hit its shoulder, but the blood that flowed was black.
It could no longer be considered human, and it rose to its feet quickly.
A cold, malicious malevolence enveloped Du Wei like a tide.
“What exactly are you, and why are you attacking as well, apart from that shadow?”
As he spoke, Du Wei glanced behind him; the darkness was spreading quickly, less than two ters away from him now.
The evil intent within the darkness was even more terrifying.
It was a hateful venom, loaded with resentnt and jealousy towards the living.
If Josh served as a vessel, then the Evil Spirit sealed inside him had evidently separated from him, and his body had undergone so abnormal transformation.
And according to the original storyline.
If Du Wei hadn’t co to Jedecra State, Josh would have dread of the shadow killing his wife and three children.
He had so incomprehensible connection with that shadow.
Almost as if they were one.
Du Wei’s visit was intended to mark the Evil Spirit as a backup, but he had not anticipated that it would shift the target, attracting all the danger onto himself.
“I never intended to sacrifice myself for others.”
Du Wei clenched his teeth and directly underwent the Evil Spirit Transformation.
His entire aura turned exceedingly chilling and gloomy.
All emotions were completely hidden.
In his eyes, there was only coldness.
“You’re not qualified to want dead,” he said, his voice indifferent.
Du Wei turned and walked away, deliberately slowing his pace this ti, as if he was waiting for the darkness behind him.
However, Josh, for so reason, didn’t imdiately pounce on Du Wei but seed sowhat wary, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
“What are you afraid of?”
As Du Wei walked towards the reception room, he coldly stared at Josh.
Although he was asking the creature, he was also speaking to himself.
Now in the cathedral, there was only Du Wei, Josh’s transford body, and the ever-spreading darkness.
No one else ant no restrictions.
Du Wei’s advantages would keep amplifying.
For instance, certain things he had discarded as his tactics grew more nurous, he had picked up again.
The so-called rules…
The so-called trigger chanism.
The latter didn’t need to be considered, for Du Wei was the one orchestrating it.
It was just getting a little out of hand…
As for the forr, that was due to Josh and that shadow.
Du Wei’s thoughts were rapidly firing.
He keenly noticed a problem.
In the room, when the transformation happened, Josh disappeared.
But when he lit the lighter, it suddenly appeared.
Yet when the lighter was extinguished,
the shadow erged from the darkness.
And now, having left the room, both the shadow and its body appeared simultaneously.
Where there is light, there will be shadows.
“So if I’m in complete darkness, I’ll face that shadow, but if I’m in sunlight, I’ll have to deal with two dreadful beings?”
Du Wei’s gaze beca even colder, in a situation where external forces couldn’t take effect, all he could rely on was his wit.
Just as he had when he first confronted the Evil Spirit.
Intelligence was to harness external forces, to create external forces.
But it would never be replaced by external forces.
Just then, he reached the reception room door.
The encroachnt of darkness from behind slowed down as it seed to realize Du Wei’s intention.
Josh’s body was skulking beside Du Wei, its mouth wide open, oozing black-brown liquid—filthy and nauseating.
Du Wei looked at them coldly. “Rest assured, it won’t end so soon. I will find a safe place for you to stay until the next confrontation between it and begins.”
Now the situation tilted back in favor of Du Wei.
He was starting to feel confident.
The target of La Zandín was not sothing he could relinquish.
He had to deal with the adversary and bring this powerful Evil Spirit into his fold.
Stepping into the reception room,
Du Wei strode over to his backpack, and at that mont, the room door slamd shut…
In the corner of the reception room, a chilling presence arose; the shadows seed to co to life, spreading from the floor up onto the walls.
A black silhouette stood at the door.
Outside was Josh’s body.
“Do you think you’ve already won?”
Du Wei slung the bag over his shoulder and extended his right hand, activating his Marking Ability.
The shadow uncontrollably materialized in front of Du Wei, whose right hand grabbed its neck, and a piercing cold spread from the touch of the palm.
As if he was cutting his hand with a knife.
But Du Wei seed unmoved as he glared at the shadow and said coldly, “I told you, this isn’t going to be over so quickly.”
In the corner, an even colder malevolence slowly coalesced; Annabelle appeared in the room, eerily floating.
Its target was also Du Wei.
The next mont,
the sound of brakes screeching.
The bus stopped outside the reception room door.
The glaring headlights shone in, illuminating the room brightly.
The darkness vanished.
The shadow disappeared, replaced by Josh’s body.
Du Wei abruptly released his right hand and dashed to the door without looking back, yanking it open.
There stood the bus.
But this ti… Du Wei’s timing for activating the Mark seed a bit off.
Because there were already several Evil Spirits sitting on the bus.
It seed to be picking up passengers…
