Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 441 - 437. Du Wei’s daily life
It was the morning of June 22.
The old villa in the city center.
The sun shone brightly.
A ray of sunlight passed through the window and into the room, making the scene appear very warm and inviting.
Du Wei, sitting on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes.
All traces of fatigue were wiped away.
His spirits were high now.
But there was a sense of forlorn disorientation.
"For the moment, it seems I don’t have much to do?"
Du Wei’s tone was somewhat elusive.
Investigating Rahmer’s Bell must continue, and perhaps the church, as well as the records that might be related to the Vanity Sect.
But for now, he had not fully recovered.
It wasn’t quite appropriate for him to dive back into it right away.
The problem with the Evil Spirit Du Wei had been completely resolved.
What remained were only the Antique Clock and his own issues with Evil Spirit Transformation.
The latter was easy to solve, simply by using that strong and excessive power less often and keeping it as a trump card for critical moments.
The Antique Clock, however, was still pending.
As for the Demon Nun...
Du Wei stood up and said lightly, "It might be strong, but with the Evil Spirit Scalpel as a price, I’ve immobilized it in the autopsy room of the dream. Unless I let it out, it can’t cause me any trouble."
"And when I do let it out, it will be when I need it."
Now.
He was no longer worried about the so-called Demon Nun, unless the origin of the curse, the existence or non-existence of The nun was in question; otherwise, there was no need to worry.
Just like he had said, the Demon Nun was now merely a trump card for him, no different from a shadow.
The only difference was that it wasn’t as loyal.
Like the most ruthless capitalist, Du Wei gathered all the Evil Spirits he could, or whatever other messy things, and turned them all into his trump cards.
After all, a tool...
At this moment.
Du Wei walked over to the side of the living room and took out a stack of A4 paper from a small cabinet.
His slender right hand held the pencil and began to write.
He planned to sort out his current situation and his own abilities.
First were the abilities.
[The Marking Ability brought by the Evil Spirit Transformation, derived from the Antique Clock’s ability to see death scenes, Immobilization, telekinesis, face swapping mechanism, and the ability to assimilate Evil Spirits]
There were abilities that belonged to Du Wei himself, and those that integrated with Evil Spirit Du Wei.
Lastly... Du Wei seemed to have thought of something else, and added a note to the first piece of information—hypnotic suggestion.
Hypnotic suggestion, compared to his own abilities, seemed a bit low-end.
But it also depended on who was using it. Now, if he used hypnotic suggestion on an Evil Spirit or a person, he might be able to play them to death.
Then came the issues to be resolved.
[1. Antique Clock]
[2. Accompany Alex to visit the Wittebach family]
As he wrote this, Du Wei organized his thoughts; even though he knew the Antique Clock was Rahmer’s Bell, he still preferred to call it by its original name.
It was a matter of habit...

Accompanying his girlfriend home was something they had agreed upon yesterday, and he could also take the opportunity to have a look at that mysterious stele.
After all, some of the information that father-in-law Lawrence obtained was deciphered from that stele, a record of demons, even though the deciphered information was incorrect, it was still worth taking a look.
Knowledge is the most precious thing.
Sometimes it can play a stronger role than a trump card.
That’s basically it.
Du Wei stopped writing and stored the whole piece of paper away by itself.
But just at that moment,
suddenly, his phone rang.
The ringtone was piercing...
After taking out his phone, the caller wasn’t Tom or Alex, but Father Tony.
"Could there be another problem?"
Du Wei frowned and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Good morning."
He greeted first, and then heard Father Tony’s somewhat ethereal voice coming through the phone, "Mr. Du Wei, I heard from Tom yesterday that you moved to a new place, how is the new environment? Are you adjusting well?"
That was just polite small talk.
Du Wei replied indifferently, "Overall it’s okay, what do you want with me?"
Father Tony answered with a wry smile, "How should I put it, congratulations Mr. Du Wei. As far as I know, the church has already put forth the process to promote you to bishop, you will be the youngest bishop in the history of the church, and also the one who was promoted the quickest."
"I must say, you make me quite envious."
"Ah, I’ve worked for the church most of my life, only to end up lonely and old in a New York church; compared to you, my earlier life seems like it was lived in vain."
Du Wei chuckled: "You could always go see Mrs. Senna, she seems to have always wanted to transfer you back to St. Bodia, you’d live very comfortably there."
Father Tony said awkwardly, "Forget it, I don’t want to go back to the church at all, it’s too rigid there. It’s more comfortable in New York, ever since I got to know you and Tom, my life has been simply wonderful."
"This is life..."
"Do you know? Last night Tom went to bust the Red Light District, hehe, and he made an unexpected discovery."
Du Wei asked curiously, "What unexpected discovery?"
Father Tony said excitedly, "You know... those kinds of parties, you know what I mean, how about it? Do you want to join us? Tom and I have already signed up, we’re going to have fun tonight."
This...
How vulgar...
"Aren’t you tired?"
Du Wei’s tone was very complex; he simply could not comprehend how a nearly sixty-year-old Father Tony could experience a second spring.
Even more curious; how on earth did Tom manage to turn a devout priest into what he is now?
On the other end of the phone, Father Tony said nonchalantly, "It is a bit tiring, after all, I am not young anymore, but Tom has shared his special techniques with me, partying for another ten years wouldn’t be a problem!"
"Honestly, it’s a real pity you’re not joining our little group."
Upon hearing this,
Du Wei was utterly speechless.
He really could not blend in with these two eccentrics, who would be flattered even by being called scumbags.
He couldn’t help but say, "Did you call me just to talk about this stuff? If so, I suggest you go find Tom, you two will have a lot to talk about, and right now I’m going to wash up and eat."
Father Tony said in surprise, "Of course not, I actually wanted to tell you, I’ve heard some news, it seems like a hunter from the church is about to be gone, and they need a new hunter to fill in."
Du Wei squinted his eyes, "As for a new hunter for the church, besides me, there shouldn’t be anyone else, right?"
Father Tony said gravely, "That’s correct, so you’d better be prepared. I’m not very clear on the details among you hunters, but if you think it poses a threat to you, I suggest you leave New York as soon as possible, the farther, the better."
"And, don’t tell anyone it was me who told you."
"I certainly don’t want any trouble from church people."
