Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 677 - 674 still a deadlock

Chapter 677: 674, still a deadlock Chapter 677: 674, still a deadlock When the phone connected,

Du Wei felt it was both unexpected and expected.

In a world constructed based on Ryan’s worldview, the other party was naturally equivalent to the creator.

Although not everything was under Ryan’s control,

It wasn’t far off.

At this moment,

The lethal threat from Rahmer’s Bell had become more and more intense.

Even though it was invisible to the naked eye, instinct made one’s soul shiver from the overwhelming sense of oppression, which was horrifyingly palpable.

Even words would struggle to fully describe this sensation.

If one had to describe it, it was probably like being in a wilderness, seeing no end in any direction with the sky and earth seeming to merge into one, the surroundings completely desolate, devoid of any life, inducing a sense of despair and helplessness from deep within.

...

Du Wei dared not delay any longer.

But there was still no sound from the other end of the phone, as if the connection wasn’t with any person, but rather to hell itself.

Oddly enough,

A bone-chilling cold surged in Du Wei’s heart.

He clenched his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and tentatively asked into the phone, “Is it Ryan?”

From the other end of the phone: “Huu…”

It sounded like someone breathing.

But it also seemed like the wind…

Du Wei’s heart tightened, and he asked again, “Ryan, where are you now?”

Still—huu…

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, his voice becoming much colder, “Is it the Evil Spirit?”

But the other side couldn’t possibly answer him.

Only that sound, indistinguishable between wind and breathing, was the response.

Du Wei clenched his fists and cursed under his breath, “Damn it.”

He looked up into the night sky lit by a raging storm.

The shadow of death brought by Rahmer’s Bell hovered relentlessly over his heart, not dissipating in the slightest.

And what rendered him most powerless was,

He seemed to have misjudged the situation.

Even though the phone had connected, he was unable to reach Ryan. Instead, he didn’t know what on earth was on the other end of the phone, the Evil Spirit or some other ghastly entity.

He knew this was a dead end.

Moreover, it was the most unsolvable dead end he had encountered since encountering the Evil Spirit.

Being unable to escape the Inner World, he naturally had no chance of awakening the Evil Spirit Du Wei, and even if he could get out, awakening his other self was not guaranteed.

Assimilating eighteen Demon Gods in one go was something that even the Evil Spirit Du Wei, who was essentially cheating, couldn’t achieve—coming back to consciousness and turning the tables in a short time.

This scene truly confirmed that saying.

No one could help him.

And just then,

An icy, merciless voice suddenly echoed in the depths of Du Wei’s heart.

“What are you afraid of?”

That voice carried an intrinsic, uniquely bestowed elegance.

Long time no see…

Evil Spirit Du Wei.

But Du Wei was very clear that it wasn’t the same Evil Spirit Du Wei who had merged with him, who had become part of the entity Duc Wei from both past and future.

It was another Evil Spirit Du Wei created after entering the Inner World, within this worldview.

In his heart, Du Wei silently said, “I am afraid of death.”

The voice was utterly indifferent, “Afraid of death? That’s laughable, for I am you and you are me. I fear no death, and neither should you. Thus, the other me, what you fear is not death but the unknown. You fear the next second, the next minute, when Rahmer’s Bell might strike against you at any moment.”

Du Wei’s fingertips trembled slightly as he touched the mask on his face, “You know of Rahmer’s Bell?”

This was highly abnormal.

According to the timeline of the Inner World, the Evil Spirit Du Wei should be logging off for the first time in this period, and it would be at least a week or two before he would be revived.

It seemed as though the voice chuckled coldly, “Ha… Not only do I know of Rahmer’s Bell, I also know everything you’ve done after entering this Inner World, as well as all your thoughts.”

Du Wei frowned, “That doesn’t make sense.”

The voice said, “Why not? When you enter the Inner World, it’s as if another you has appeared in this world, and so have I. You can think of it as a reflection.”

“Give your body to me…”

“You’ve now reached a dead end. Give your body to me, let me make the choices. That is the most perfect solution.”

“I am stronger than you.”

Du Wei fell silent.

The other party was telling the truth.

But handing over his body was simply not an option. If he put himself in the shoes of the Inner World’s Evil Spirit Du Wei, the very first thing to do after snatching the body would be to eliminate all potential threats.

Then find a way to return to the real world and replace his real self.

However, with this in mind,

Du Wei suddenly had a bold idea.

He said directly, “Once I give you my body, I will be no different from the dead. Why would I do that?”

The other party said, “I am Du Wei too. Once I have the body, I can walk under the sun and continue on with the unfinished deeds of yours and mine. That’s much better than you simply dying at the hands of Rahmer’s Bell.”

Du Wei calmly said, “You’re right, but you’re just another Evil Spirit Du Wei based on Ryan’s worldview. Even if I give the body to you, you won’t be able to resist Rahmer’s Bell. Moreover, with your character at this time, even if you really did make it back to reality, you would kill Minette. I cannot accept that.”

“She is my only true love.”

The voice fell silent for a moment.

Then it said, “I won’t kill her because I love her just the same.”

Du Wei laughed, “But I don’t love her.”

“What?!”

The voice suddenly changed.

Du Wei scoffed, “Should I say as expected of another me? Lying is as easy for you as eating or drinking. If you really knew everything, you would have contradicted me by now.”

“Because I truly don’t love her.”

“And once I leave this world, whether or not you’ll even exist is uncertain. Your very birth was a mistake.”

The voice spoke chillingly, “So what? You will still die here. Besides me, you have no other options.”

Du Wei shook his head, “I can feel that Rahmer’s Bell is about to act. It’s you who has no choice, not me.”

“I can choose death. What about you?”

“Moreover, I don’t believe that the Inner World can truly suppress it. I refuse to let you take this body.”

“But I do agree with you, you are indeed stronger than I am.”

“So let’s take a gamble.”

His words were not true either.

But the one who knows oneself best is oneself.

After merging with the Evil Spirit Du Wei, he was fully aware of the past Evil Spirit Du Wei’s weaknesses and thoughts. In other words, if he were given even more power, he could even kill the past Evil Spirit Du Wei.

“What do you want to bet?”

The voice of the past Evil Spirit Du Wei was very unpleasant.

But Du Wei said, “You want this body, yet I am unwilling to hand it over to you. However, I need your strength. So I want to gamble with my life.”

“I’ll create another vessel for you.”

The past Evil Spirit Du Wei said inside his mind, “Pennywise? To create another body with it?”

Du Wei said lightly, “Yes.”

The past Evil Spirit Du Wei laughed, “I know what you’re planning. You want to destroy this Inner World.”

A firm light flashed in Du Wei’s eyes.
