Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

By the time Tom arrived at the church.

Father Tony had already received Du Wei’s call and was waiting at the entrance.

At that moment, his expression was anxious. As soon as he saw Tom getting out of the car, he hurriedly approached, holding a cross and a bottle of Holy Water in his hand.

"Officer Tom, hello. I’ve heard about the situation from Du Wei, please stand still right there.”

"Uh… okay, okay!”

Although he didn’t understand, Tom chose to follow Father Tony’s instruction and stood motionless at the entrance of the church.

Relieved, Father Tony began to recite the Bible, holding the cross as he walked around Tom once.

As a member of the church staff.

Actually, Father Tony was not much better off than ordinary people when facing Evil Spirits. The only advantage he might have was that he was never short on things like Holy Water.

Though Holy Water doesn’t work well against some terrible Evil Spirits, it still somewhat affects the ordinary ones.

That’s why, when Father Tony sprinkled Holy Water on Tom, Tom felt a sudden looseness throughout his body, and his stiff, painful neck felt much better.

"Wow, this is miraculous…”

As a person targeted by an Evil Spirit, Tom had a more direct experience of the Holy Water.

Immediately, he felt much more at ease and looked at Father Tony with gratitude, “Father, I feel much better now. Am I safe?”

Father Tony shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, after all, I don’t have the ability to see Evil Spirits like Du Wei. Let’s go into the church for now, and we’ll wait for Du Wei to come back before deciding anything.”

Tom replied, “Okay.”

Afterwards, the two of them entered the church.

…

This time, Father Tony did not take Tom to the reception room.

Instead, they lit many candles in the church, and cups filled with Holy Water circled around Tom.

A church is indeed a holy place, and some Evil Spirits would not appear here without reason.

However, if a person was targeted by an Evil Spirit, it wouldn’t matter where he went.

The spirit would follow him abroad, to church, or even while swimming at the beach. You might have a face-to-face encounter under the water.

"Father Tony, can you come a bit closer to me? I don’t feel very secure like this!”

Tom sat down on the ground with a conflicted look, watching the priest who stood opposite him, whispering prayers and draped in a white cloth of indeterminate origin, holding a candle and murmuring supplications.

Hearing Tom’s words, Father Tony turned his head, wiped his glasses, and said, “Don’t worry. I am praying to God for you.” Enjoy exclusive chapters from Novgo.com

Tom looked at him doubtfully, “Why don’t you pray next to me then?”

Father Tony replied awkwardly, “Because the Evil Spirit targets you, and if I have too much contact with you, I might get targeted as well.”

Tom’s face darkened, “You don’t seem like a proper priest.”

Father Tony chuckled, “You don’t look like a proper officer either.”

As he said this, he pointed at the shorts Tom was wearing.

Well… they were soaked…

Tom’s face turned red, and the atmosphere became awkward.

He quickly explained, “It’s because I sweated a lot while fighting the Evil Spirit, I definitely wasn’t scared into peeing myself… Father Tony, you wouldn’t misunderstand, right?”

Father Tony picked up on the word “fighting” and hurriedly said, “I apologize, Mr. Tom, I was not aware of the specifics of your encounter. You are a very brave man.”

Tom sighed, “I used to be just an ordinary cop, but after meeting my good brother Du Wei, my life turned upside down. This month, I’ve been to the Red Light District only twice—can you imagine how torturous that is?”

Father Tony really couldn’t imagine what day it was, he could only nod his head to show that he was listening.

Seeing this, Tom continued, “If life was just a little harder, that would be fine, but tonight when I was having a blast in the Red Light District, I actually saw my dead neighbor.”

Father Tony asked in confusion, “So the Evil Spirit is your neighbor? Did you have any contact with her before?”

Tom spoke in a complex tone, “We had no contact while she was alive, but after she died, we certainly did because her corpse was discovered by me.”

Father Tony thought for a moment and said, “It seems a bit off; the chance for a normal dead person to become an Evil Spirit is very small, and since you had no contact with her when she was alive, the likelihood of her fixating on you even if she turned into an Evil Spirit is not very high.”

Tom, clueless, said, “But that’s the reality.”

Father Tony’s brows furrowed, and he said, “Please don’t be nervous, I’m not doubting that you’re lying, it’s just that this situation really doesn’t make sense. Could you tell me the details of what happened?”

Tom licked his lips, lit a cigarette for himself, and tried hard to recall as he smoked.

"I remember the first time I saw that female neighbor, she had a great figure, and I immediately forgot all the fun of the Red Light District.”

"After that, as I came home from work for several days in a row, I would always see her watching me from her window, and I thought it was love…”

"Later, I discovered that she was actually committing suicide at that window.”

"Of course, by the time I discovered it, she had already been dead for three days.”

"I remember when I broke into the room, her body lay on the floor, and the rope that was around her neck had already snapped.”

Hearing this, Father Tony pondered and asked, “Didn’t you notice anything unusual?”

Tom suddenly twisted his neck as if he was uncomfortable, “No, it was a normal suicide case.”

Father Tony spoke with a solemn tone, “No, if it was a normal suicide, the chance of an Evil Spirit appearing would be pitifully small, otherwise, this world would have collapsed long ago, there must be something you didn’t notice.”

Tom’s voice was hoarse as he said, “Then what do you think it could be?”

Father Tony was stumped, he felt that even Du Wei couldn’t figure anything out, so he awkwardly said, “I’m just drawing conclusions based on my understanding of Evil Spirits, what exactly happened, I also don’t know.”

However, just as his voice fell, he suddenly saw Tom’s complexion turning a bit red, and his head uncontrollably leaning back.

"Officer Tom?”

"Lord… What is happening!”

Father Tony’s face turned pale with shock as he watched Tom grasp at his neck as though there was an invisible noose tied around it.

And his whole body was eerily levitating at an unnatural speed.

Tom’s eyes rolled back, his complexion was extremely red, he opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, and he struggled madly.

Although Father Tony was not an Exorcist, he knew what to do in this kind of situation.

He immediately took the white cloth wrapped around his body and covered Tom with it.

In an instant.

The white cloth formed a strange scene of a person committing suicide by hanging, the outline of the rope was clearly visible.

Father Tony immediately took the Holy Water from the ground, splashing it onto Tom covered with the white cloth.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

As if it was a sulfuric acid reaction, white smoke rose straight from the cloth, leaving a charred rope mark.

One end of the mark was an upright rope, and the other a loop.

In the center of the loop, a Hexagram symbol appeared.

Tom, who was suspended in the air, also crashed onto the ground with a bang. After he toppled the cups of Holy Water, much of his body was drenched with the Holy Water.

"Fuck! This place isn’t safe at all… My good brother, come back soon!!!”
