In the stairwell.
Du Wei frowned as he looked at Ryan, the psychiatric patient above him, and directly took out the lighter that could deal with the Evil Spirit.
Click...
It didn't ignite...
This lighter, given by Father Tony, was said to be sothing that could deal with Evil Spirits. But if it didn't encounter an Evil Spirit, it usually wouldn't light.
Since it ca into Du Wei's possession, aside from a few instances of close contact with an Evil Spirit when it had been used, it mostly served as a warning light.
Now, under the state of Spirit Vision, Du Wei didn't notice anything abnormal about Ryan, and the lighter didn't ignite either, confirming that the other person was indeed human.
So, it should be certain that the abnormality with Ryan's corpse that he had dissected appeared after dark.
At this mont, Ryan standing at the top of the stairs in his patient garnt urged, "Hey, why don't you answer ? You should be heading back to the ward now."
Upon hearing this, Du Wei thought for a mont, pocketed the lighter, and said calmly, "Please allow to interrupt, I am not a patient but a doctor. In fact, we are colleagues."
When communicating with psychiatric patients, the first step is to get them to accept you and reduce their feelings of resistance.
And the best way is to blend into their worldview.
Ryan was stunned for a mont, and his expression turned extrely surprised, "Colleague? You're also a doctor? That's great. This ntal hospital finally has new staff."
Seizing the mont, Du Wei asked, "What about the previous doctors?"
Ryan answered, "I don't know, I used to see them often, along with so patients wandering around the corridors, but now they've disappeared; they might have been discharged."
Du Wei nodded, according to Ryan's worldview, he too was a doctor, and strongly agreed with that notion.
However, the fact that he could wander around a ntal hospital like this without incident was nothing short of miraculous.
So, Du Wei stepped forward and said, "Could you tell about your recent work? I'm new here and not very familiar with the place."
Ryan replied warily, "My work needs to be reported to the Dean, I can't tell anyone else, even though you're a doctor, we're on the sa level."
Du Wei shook his head, "You're mistaken, actually, I am the new Director, which makes your superior, so you should be reporting your work to ."
Ryan sneered, "How can you prove you're the new Director? Do you have proof?"
After a mont's thought, Du Wei took out his Exorcist ID and flashed it in front of him.
"Isn't this proof?"
Deceiving a psychiatric patient carried no burden for Du Wei.
Seeing Du Wei present a certificate, Ryan's expression imdiately turned much more serious, "I'm sorry, Director. I misunderstood you. Please don't take it to heart; in fact, I'm a very professional doctor with a dical expertise higher than many."
Du Wei humd, "I've already gathered that, and I will consider promoting you in the future. How does Deputy Director sound?"
Ryan exclaid excitedly, "Really? Can I really beco the Deputy Director?"
Du Wei smiled, "Of course, but on one condition, you need to answer my previous question."
Ryan, with a broad smile, said, "Of course, Director, I'll tell you all about my work experience."
"Firstly, every morning after dawn, I provide psychological counseling to the patients, ensure they take their dication on ti, monitor their eating, and keep track of the progress of their conditions. Then at noon, I also lead the patients in prayer to the Lord."
"At night, I check around the building to see if anyone has sneakily run out. If there's anyone, I report to the Dean the next day."
After listening, Du Wei asked with a frown, "What about those who sneak out? Have you seen them again later?"
Ryan thought for a mont and said, "No, they should all be discharged from the hospital by now."
While saying this, the two of them made their way to the second floor.
At that mont, Ryan suddenly cocked his head and said, "Oh, right, I just rembered sothing. I suspect the director has a ntal illness."
...
Elsewhere.
In the torrential rain, the darkness of the night was frightening.
Jas and the other two also arrived at the base of the bell tower.
However, they did not enter imdiately but stopped at the door, each of them with a very serious expression.
Although they were unaware of the secret of the bell tower, they had faith in Du Wei's abilities.
This up-and-coming exorcist was indeed much more proficient in certain aspects than they were.
Even Harry, who was always known for his calmness among the trio, could not match Du Wei's ability to maintain his composure and rationality at all tis, a level of calm that was almost unsettling.
A man who was staying in a ntal hospital and had set the eting point at the bell tower was unlikely to be behind them.
Therefore, Jas and the others felt that Du Wei should already be inside the bell tower by now.
But if that were the case, then it was unlikely that he wouldn't signal the others.
Such as turning on a light or waiting at the door...
However, Jas and the others had not detected any signal, which was why they were standing at the door, hesitant and uncertain.
Seeing this, Homier couldn't help but ask softly, "Should we still go in?"
Jas shook his head and said solemnly, "Sothing's not right, I'm still considering."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Harry, whose face was a bit pale, and asked, "Have you noticed anything?"
In this trio, Jas was the brains and the most experienced exorcist, while Harry was more susceptible than the average exorcist to entering the Spirit Vision state, so most of the ti, his insights were taken into consideration.
Hearing Jas's question, Harry gave him a glance and said with a very strained tone, "I sense a terrifying malice around us, but I don't know why, I haven't entered the Spirit Vision state. It's as if the threshold hasn't been reached yet."
At these words, Jas's eyes narrowed and he said, "Are you suggesting there's an Evil Spirit?"
Harry said uncertainly, "I cannot rule out the possibility."
Homier also closed her eyes, trying to sense the malice Harry was talking about.
But compared to the more sensitive Harry, she did not detect that malice, only feeling instinctively uncomfortable.

So, she said, "I think we should trust Mr. Du Wei, but I always feel that things are not that simple."
Jas thought for a mont and said softly, "Yes, if it were him, he definitely wouldn't have done things so sloppily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight against the Evil Spirit for so long, and even wrest his body back from its grasp."
"Harry sensed sothing wrong, and Du Wei, who is ahead of us, will definitely run into trouble. Either he has already resolved it, or he has chosen to leave."
After thinking for a while, Jas looked at the door in front of him, his expression sowhat conflicted.
He was eager to push the door open and see what was happening inside, but Harry's findings made it hard for him to make up his mind.
"However, if Du Wei didn't go in, he should have also warned us. It isn't like him to just walk away without a word."
Hearing this, Harry said with a doubtful and surprised expression, "Could it be that he already signaled us, but we just didn't notice?"
