Hill Psychiatric Hospital entrance.
Jas sat in the car, his face grim as he looked at "Du Wei" inside the electronic gate.
At this mont, the man, who had just parted from them two hours ago, was in a very sorry state.
He looked as if he had just been fished out of water, his hair and clothes completely drenched, his skin pale, and with extensive swelling.
His eyes were empty and dead, and there was no movent of his chest, as if he was a thoroughly lifeless corpse.
Most importantly, when he took chanical steps toward the electronic gate, that oppressive feeling nearly stopped Jas's heart.
Undoubtedly, this was the Evil Spirit...
Jas took a deep breath and imdiately said to Du Wei on the other end of the phone in a grave voice, "Mr. Du Wei, we have encountered the Evil Spirit. I suspect soone has touched the dium; otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing such abnormal events."
"Also, Mr. Du Wei, your current situation must be very dangerous. We will co in to find you. With your abilities, you should be able to hold on until then, shouldn't you?"
On the other end of the line, Du Wei's voice was still calm, "Don't worry about . If you're going to co in, we better et at the bell tower. There are so things I think Mrs. Taylor should be able to explain."
"Of course, I don't suggest you co in. It's best to wait outside for the night, and we can talk after daylight."
"But we have already...ssss...zzz..."
"Hmm... Mr. Jas? What did you say?"
"I said… we…"
Listening to the static of the electrical signal interference coming from the other end of the phone.
Du Wei sighed and had no choice but to hang up the call.
"I just knew it, things could not be this simple. A terror more advanced than the Evil Spirit. If it could be easily resolved, that would be too much of a child's play."
Du Wei knew that as long as they found the dium—the nun's head.
Once it was resealed into the box that Jas and the others had brought, the matter could be concluded, and the curse should also be interrupted.
At the least, one could say the outco would be harmlessly neutral.
But now, problems had arisen before even starting the search for the dium.
First, Jas and the others were delayed because they had to take a detour due to the stormy weather, and then, while he had been doing fine in the psychiatric hospital, they had encountered danger first.
Thinking this, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath.
He didn't know whether he would be okay, but these three exorcists were definitely in big trouble. Even with their assortnt of items to counter the Evil Spirit, although the chance of death wasn't high, they would surely have expended so energy.
Most importantly, the box that was used to hold the nun's dium was with them...
"I hate trouble."
Du Wei said coldly, his voice calm, without any fluctuation.
The light in the room was still on.
He was thinking.
Firstly, he was standing by the window; Jas and the others claid they had just arrived at the entrance, and the car they were in had not been turned off.
But upon looking, he couldn't see the slightest glimr of the car lights.
Moreover, Jas had claid to have seen another him.
That is to say, the space he and they were in might have undergone a disturbance. Of course, it could also be the work of the Evil Spirit.
He entered the psychiatric hospital during the day, but now night had fallen.
Adding to that, the strange sayings of the patients, could it an that this psychiatric hospital experienced anomalies at night?
The possibility was high...
By nightfall, all the patients would consciously return to their wards to rest, sothing that wouldn't happen in any psychiatric hospital.
Unless, sothing was making all these psychiatric patients feel fear...
Could the Evil Spirit do that?
"Inconceivable..."
Du Wei shook his head secretly, organized his thoughts, and realized a very serious problem.
If his deductions were correct, then abnormalities should have already appeared in the psychiatric hospital before their arrival, and moreover, those anomalies were likely still brewing, not yet reaching the tipping point.
Otherwise, those patients couldn't possibly be living so comfortably.
Evil Spirits slaughter people, and they won't spare soone just because that person is ntally ill.
Once triggered, an ordinary person is basically dead.
But if there is no trigger chanism, the lives of ordinary people won't be affected, otherwise, the world would have already fallen into chaos.
"We still need to regroup first to ensure the box doesn't encounter any problems."
All of a sudden...
Just as Du Wei was speaking, an inexplicable chill surged into his heart in an instant.
Without any hesitation, he sharply turned around.
He saw that the door of the room, for so reason, had opened a crack, through which an eye was staring intently at him.
Du Wei also stared at that eye and said coldly, "I don't seem to have the habit of not closing doors."
As his voice fell, he imdiately entered the Third Phase of Spirit Vision.
Under the state of Spirit Vision, the eye felt very strange to him.
It gave him the oppressive sense and malice typically associated with facing an Evil Spirit, yet it was visible to the naked eye.
Experience tales at empire
Right then, Du Wei's brows furrowed, and he thought, "Is it an Evil Spirit?"
But it didn't seem quite right. It had a physical form, which didn't quite match an Evil Spirit.
After thinking for a mont, he took out his pistol from his pocket and disengaged the safety.
The next second.
As if sensing sothing, the eye disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
This, however, made Du Wei even more puzzled.
It wasn't an Evil Spirit, but it had a physical form—sothing he had encountered before.
When he first interacted with the Antique Clock, he had shot and shattered a rotten woman's arm...
"It shouldn't be the sa concept... but regardless, I shouldn't be able to stay in this room any longer."
He hated trouble, but what he hated even more was sitting duck, leaving his fate to the unknown.
This unidentified thing could silently open the door, and if he stayed in the room any longer, who knows, it might run in at any ti.
The room wasn't very spacious, and if that situation occurred, there would be no escape.
Even though he had Holy Water and Bone Powder in his backpack, the situation was unclear, and it shouldn't be wasted at a ti like this.
With that thought, Du Wei remained vigilant and, under the state of Spirit Vision, made sure that the thing at the door had left before pulling the door open.
Outside the door.
The darkness remained.
All he could hear was the downpour of rain, the dull sounds.
The slight scent of damp moisture was what his nose could detect.
Then, frowning, Du Wei glanced at the floor of the hallway—there was a puddle of water.
Looking further ahead, however, the water stains disappeared.
"So, that thing earlier, it was standing at the door the whole ti? Where has it gone now?"
Du Wei thought for a mont, held the pistol with both hands, and looked up.
He did not see the owner of the eye, but the presence of a water stain was unmistakable.
The outline was no different from that of a normal human footprint, but eerily, this trail of footprints continued to extend forward...
